Chapter 288: The Second Battle

On this day, there are also four games going on in the NBA, namely the Celtics vs. 76ers, the Nuggets vs. Lakers, the Raptors vs. Pistons, and the Magic vs. Wizards.

The game between the Celtics and the 76ers was not interesting at all, it was completely bloody, and the Celtics did not give the 76ers any chance at all, and they played very easily. Iguodala is not the kind of person who has super offensive power, Iguodala is good at defense, although Iguodala does make Pierce feel very uncomfortable, but Ray Allen's three points are tired of the 76ers, Iguodala can defend one person, but he can't prevent a team, the gap between the two teams is not a little bit, this year's Celtics strength can be said to be very strong.

In 2010, that year was the last year for the Celtics to compete for the championship, and the Celtics of that year were actually very strong, but since 2008, every year the Celtics have lost on injuries, in 2009, Garnett's absence made the Celtics not even enter the Eastern Conference Finals, and in 2010, in the most critical tie-break battle, the Celtics' starting center Perkins missed the seventh game because of an injury in the sixth stop. Although it seems to have little impact, but Perkins' role is defense and rebounding, for the Celtics, Perkins is not there, Garnett's protection of rebounds will be much weaker, and the protection of the Celtics' backcourt rebounds will be much worse, in that game, the Celtics were robbed of 23 frontcourt rebounds by the Lakers. The Celtics only grabbed a total of 8 frontcourt rebounds, in comparison, the gap is too big, the Celtics' backcourt rebounding protection is really unfavorable, the main reason is that Perkins is not there, although Garnett was also a bull 20+10 person, but, it must be known that Gasol is also a very strong power forward, if Garnett is withheld by Gasol, then the work of rebounding protection will be difficult to do. That year, if Perkins hadn't been injured, it would have been difficult to say who won the championship. Celtic luck was not so good.

The suspense of the game between the Nuggets and the Lakers is not big, the Nuggets' interior line is not guaranteed, and there is no good interior defense, so they are naturally suddenly turned into a sieve by the Lakers.

The Lakers won the game 128-114. This score is also high enough. The Nuggets' scores were all 30 again, but this time there was no upset.

The game between the Wizards and the Magic is still a bit interesting, and the absence of the general is an indelible injury in the hearts of Wizards fans. In the end, the Wizards still lost to the Magic with a score of 88-98. Howard's performance in this game was very average, only getting 10 points and 14 rebounds, and it looked like Howard was looking for playoff status, and he couldn't see Howard's desperate appearance at all.

The game between the Raptors and the Pistons is also good, and under the defense of the Pistons, Bosh is also a big difficult step. In the end, the Pistons still didn't win the team. However, the strength of the Raptors themselves is not good, this is also a matter of no way, although Bosh's strength is already very strong, but the configuration of the Raptors does not want to be equipped for Bosh at all, Bosh is an inside player who is a bit of an outside line, but Bosh's breakthrough is also very series, and he can also create damage on the inside, but the Raptors found a legendary inside player for Bosh - Andrea Bagnani. And I still used a champion to find it, all the teams that did not choose Chen Jiyuan that year, although they were all scolded on Cheng Dù, but some teams themselves did not plan to find a center, so they were scolded by the fans lightly, and the Raptors who held the champion sign, even during the trial, did not have a serious look at Chen Jiyuan, at that time in the heart of the Raptors, only Bagnani was worthy of the champion sign. Naturally, they won't look much at the rest of the interior players, and even Aldridge, who has long been famous, has been ignored by the Raptors intentionally or unintentionally. Such a Raptors are scolded by the fans, especially the style of Bagnani and Bosh is a bit similar, so the Raptors' rebounds have been lost to other teams all year round, which makes it more and more difficult for Raptors fans to accept this champion, and finally, after the end of this season, Bosh is more and more dissatisfied with the configuration of his team. Bagnani is more thorough than Bosh, he rarely enters the interior line, and a team's power forward and center are floating on the outside, how to play, Raptors fans can't bear to watch the home team play. Especially when the fans see that the interior is empty, especially when they see their home team being abused for rebounds, it is nothing short of torture.

After these games, it was time to sleep, and Chen Jiyuan and the others had to rest well and prepare for tomorrow's game.

The next day, April 21, the second playoff game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers began, and the Knicks are trying to win this playoff game today, so that the Knicks can grab the home court advantage. Psychologically, you will have a great advantage. So the Knicks' desire to win this game is very high.

The game is about to start, and Chen Jiyuan received a "warm welcome" from the fans as always.

Before the start of the official game, Chen Jiyuan still went to say hello to James, and when he hugged James, Chen Jiyuan said to James: "LeBron, I want to beat you and go to the second round." ”

James smiled and said, "The Cavaliers are better than the Knicks, you should know that, if you want to win me, it's impossible." ”

Chen Jiyuan also smiled: "Even if I lose this year, I will still come back next year, I will win the championship, lead the Knicks, lead my team." When the time comes, even if you are the one standing in front of me, I will win. ”

James patted Chen Jiyuan on the back, "I'm looking forward to that day, and in this case, I'll also taste the taste of defeating you, Chen." ”

The two men laughed a few times, and then returned to their own team's bench camp.

Chen Jiyuan was on the bench and said to his teammates: "If you want to win this series, it is very difficult, but if we win this game, the goddess of victory will smile at us." So this game, we have to win, we have to go to New York with a win. Ramon, Daniel is up to you, Quentin, your task is the heaviest, the task of defending LeBron is difficult, you just have to do everything you can to limit LeBron, come on, brethren. ”

"Come on!"

The Knicks' starters are centers Jiyuan Chen, David Lee, Ramon Sessions, Rodney Starkey, and Quentin Richardson.

The Cavaliers' starters are LeBron James, Delonte West, Ben Wallace, Zajunas Ilgoskas, and Wally Szczebiak.

All the players were in their positions and the game was about to begin.
