The Knicks have won two straight games against the Magic, while the Celtics have a little bit of a situation on the other side.

The game between the Cavaliers and Celtics turned out to be 1:1.

Although the knight won it was thrilling, but winning is winning.

The biggest contributor to the Cavaliers' victory in the game is really not the James everyone expects.

Admittedly, James' performance was very strong, but under Pierce's high-intensity defense, James still played a quasi-triple-double of 37 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds.

James was a big contributor to the win, but the biggest contributors to the win were Daniel Gibson and J.J. Hickson.

Daniel Gibson scored 20 points in the game. However, 18 of those points came in the fourth quarter.

What is this concept? To put it simply, Daniel Gibson shot 6 of 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics' defense of James became very strict in the fourth quarter, and the bag and everything were very fast, and the rotation position was also very good. Therefore, every time the Cavaliers are trapped, they will hardly appear so well.

Even so, Daniel Gibson stepped up at this point and made 6-of-6 three-pointers after receiving a pass from James. In an instant, the score was tied, not to mention, and it greatly boosted the momentum of the knights.

As for JJ Hickson, although JJ Hickson scored only 6 points today, JJ Hickson's biggest contribution is his defense, which he is not good at.

JJ Hickson played with Garnett,

As a result, Garnett scored only 6 points in the game. I can't see the state of the wolf king who dominates the court at all, it is precisely because Garnett's state is sluggish, and Pierce on the outside is blocked by James, the scoring is not so simple, and Ray Allen is not particularly hot. As a result, the Cavaliers finally won this second game with a score of 102-98.

It was so hard to walk away with a win in Boston.

And now the knight has done it. The Cavaliers snatched home court advantage into their hands.

In this way, in the next game, when it comes to the home court of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers will play more easily. The psychological pressure will be much less.

Originally, everyone thought that the showdown in the west would be better, there would be some highlights, and there would be a bit of suspense.

But, alas, this is not the case.

Now the situation in the west is completely one-sided. I don't see where the suspense is.

Both the Lakers and Suns are 2-0 leaders, with the Spurs and Jazz in front. And, looking at that posture, it's going to be in the direction of eliminating the opponent in one go.

The third game between the Knicks and the Magic came to Orlando to play.

Here, Chen Jiyuan and others are quite unpopular.

After all, no matter from all angles, no matter in every sense, Orlando people really can't find a reason not to "boo" Chen Jiyuan.

In this game, the head coach of the Magic team, Van Gundy, finally made a change, and he also saw that if it went on like this, the Magic would only be swept away.

If you don't make changes, you can't change the fate of being eliminated.

So, the starters for this game became Nelson, Carter, Lewis, Howard, Gortat.

Howard finally became the team's No. 4 spot. I don't know if Howard can adapt to this position, when a person plays in a position that he is not familiar with, in a short period of time, many things can be regrettably remembered, but when normal games are done like this, then there is a high chance that there will be overlapping positions or wrong positions.

I don't know if the Magic overcame this problem in training.

Now that class is the Eastern Conference semifinals, if the Magic team comes up with a half-baked lineup, then the Knicks will definitely not show mercy.

The starters on the Knicks' side are still Chen Jiyuan, Love, and Sessions. Iguodala. Stephen Jackson.

The Magic's change of formation seems to have some effect, and in the first quarter of the game, the Knicks were a little uncomfortable with the Magic's non-one-inside and four-outside lineup.

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks couldn't break through the Magic's defense.

In the first quarter, Howard began to stand in the middle distance. After blocking a teammate, Howard can also shoot from mid-range. Moreover, if Gortat is in charge of the interior, the team's interior defense can still be somewhat guaranteed, otherwise, if Lewis and Howard are paired with defense, if Howard defends out, Lewis basically has less than or equal to zero defensive ability.

Although Lewis's performance has not been very good, Van Gundy still chose to let Lewis be the starter, but the starting small forward, Lewis in this position, has a considerable height advantage. But this is useless, the skinny Lewis, in the small forward position, the physical confrontation is more disadvantageous.

However, in the first quarter of the game, after getting rid of Stephen Jackson's defense, Lewis hit two shots, one three-pointer and one two-pointer. Got five points.

And Carter's performance today did not continue yesterday's madness, scoring only 2 points in the first quarter. Shot 1-of-5.

However, Howard's first quarter of the game was a complete fire for everyone in the entire Amway Arena.

Howard shot 7-of-8 from the field and 3-of-7 from the free-throw line in the first quarter. Scored 17 points. and also contributed 5 rebounds.

And Chen Jiyuan didn't open on the Knicks' side, and Sessions didn't find a good way to attack.

After the first quarter, the score on the court was 18:25.

The Magic went into the second quarter with a seven-point advantage.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench players again, and at this time, something distressing to Magic fans happened again.

There's no way for the Magic's bench players to compete with the Knicks' bench players.

Although neither Curry nor Thorton wanted to be as crazy as yesterday, they combined to score 17 points in just a few minutes. However, it has also performed remarkably.

On the Magic side, although Petrus can become the starting point of the Magic team, he relies on defense, and now among the substitutes of the Magic team, there is a lack of a main offensive point, whether it is JJ Redick or Anderson, the individual offensive ability of the two is not so strong. The two of them need to rely more on their teammates to pass the ball.

In the last game, the Magic lost to the bench, because of the weakness of the bench, so they had to go to the main team in advance, which also led to the main force in the second half of the fourth quarter of the game, and the shooting rate declined.

And in this game, this situation has appeared again. It's just a little better than last time. The last time was when Curry and Thorton were taking drugs.

This time it was relatively mild.

Curry and Thorton didn't play together today, Curry came on the court first, and after he got on the court, Curry didn't have the magical performance of the last game.

Still, he hit a three-pointer and assisted Ibaka on two mid-range jumpers.

In addition, the Knicks are very tight even on the bench, so it is very difficult for the Magic to score.

The bench plays five minutes on the pitch.

Although the Knicks did not overtake, they turned the original disadvantage of close to 10 points into a disadvantage of only 2 points.

In the midst of this. The biggest credit goes to Curry.

Curry, a player who has been playing off the bench for most of the season, is actually the Knicks' best sixth man.

Although he is a rookie, Curry is very appreciated by Chen Jiyuan. This is very important.

Chen Jiyuan's status with the New York Knicks is already self-evident. When the New York Knicks were at their worst, Chen Jiyuan came to the city, and it can be said that Chen Jiyuan led them out of the quagmire little by little, so Chen Jiyuan is a god-like existence in the hearts of the entire New York City fans.

In addition, Chen Jiyuan has a close relationship with the management of the New York Knicks, so Curry, who is valued by Chen Jiyuan, naturally added points to head coach Thibodeau, and then fortunately proved his strength. Otherwise, Thibodeau wouldn't want to let this skinny-looking kid play on paper. After all, even if Curry is working hard, holding up is to ensure that his defense does not lag behind. Pointing at him as a defensive stronghold. It's just a joke.

Fortunately, on the offensive end, Curry is indeed quite talented. And it can also organize the team's attack. It's still worth putting on the bench. Although this is only Curry's first season.

The interior line of Ty Gibson and Serge Ibaka is still quite strong, and it will not be easily defeated by the opponent. In addition to the experienced player called Barnes. The Knicks' bench lineup is still pretty good.

This time, Van Gundy resisted the urge to switch to the main force. Decisively waited for five minutes before letting the main players play.

And the Knicks also replaced the main player. At this time, the score on the field was 25:27.

Back on the court, as soon as they came up, the Magic gave the Knicks a dismissal. It seems that Warcraft wants to vent all the anger he suffered in Madison Square Garden, and all of it is on the New York Knicks to get it back.

Carter and Warcraft cooperated with each other in blocking and dismantling, and then Carter found an opportunity, made a beautiful ground-hitting pass, and gave the ball to Howard's hand, and after Howard received the ball, he rushed directly into the interior line and smashed it with one hand.

Chen Jiyuan also defended Howard's ball. It's the playoffs, and it's not the time to think about whether or not you'll be a back-to-back horse.

However, Chen Jiyuan didn't dare to make too big a move, after all, it was easy to be blown foul. Chen Jiyuan is no longer in the best defensive position,

And Chen Jiyuan, who defended from the side, could only watch Howard go from two hand-held balls to a left-handed one-handed ball, and then a split dunk. But I didn't dare to do anything.

After landing on the ground, Howard tensed his muscles and yelled to vent.
