Chapter 630: There is no suspense like a bamboo
At the same time that Milicic entered a state of excitement due to hormones, the Magic team was completely in a dilemma.
Stan Van Gundy's tangle in his head was able to entangle the python, and the current situation was too bad for him...... Obviously, he has raised a thunderous fist, but he can't smash the opponent, but let the opponent use a sharp spear to poke one hole after another in the heart... The blood flowed like this, and before the fist could be swung, the magic had already died of blood loss.
Drip!
In the fourth minute of the first quarter, the Magic called a timeout.
For Stan Van Gundy, the game was too fragile to keep him struggling.
At 19:8, the Knicks had already built an 11-point advantage in four minutes, and the Knicks' ace player Xiao Po only scored 6 points.
Nothing could be worse than this.
Watching the team beat up to this virtue, the boos in the Mizuya Center Arena became unconfident.
After a season, the Knicks are still that towering mountain!
The Magic, who had come with the power to defeat the Celtics, thought they already had the power to tear down the mountain, and they thought that the Knicks' weakness was in front of them, so why should it be easy to destroy it?
However... The reality is always crueler than imagined, your uncle is still your uncle!
"The Magic team still hasn't made any progress!" The Knicks returned to the bench, and Jeffries had a face in the ascendant, he felt that there was nothing in this game, and it was still abuse!
"It's just that I haven't grown. It's worse than last season. They did have a Turkoglu last season. Now even Vince Carter is injured. The impact on the inside line is almost zero, and it's still hairy! Tyson Chandler also had a dull feeling.
"Knowing that we were going to knock them out in the first round, it was a shame to keep them in the Eastern Conference Finals." Milicic on the side also interjected with interest.
These guys are completely 'the opponent is too second, the uncle is not happy tonight', and for this extremely improper attitude to the game, Xiao Sa did not correct it at all, although pride and despises, it is taboo in the game, but Xiao Sa still patted them on the shoulder. With an apologetic face, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's good to stick to four games, gritted my teeth and endured it." Finals against the Lakers or Spurs, there are times when you sweat. ”
Xiao is really sorry, because the entire playoff process was formulated by him in the final stage of the regular season, originally he wanted to make the playoff journey easy during the Eastern Conference finals, but he didn't expect the road to be smooth, all sweeps, and everyone's resting bones itched. I finally got to the Eastern Conference Finals, thinking it was a hard stubble that could loosen my muscles. The result is still a puddle of mud, which has no effect of confrontation at all.
In such a situation, it is inevitable that there will be some 'complaints'.
The Knicks bench side is the uncle's face, but the Magic side is all kinds of heart congestion, they worked hard all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and finally played their own self-confidence, and at the same time found the Knicks' death hole, thinking that this time they could break their fate and push the Knicks back. How do you know that as soon as you get started, you find that everything you have carefully prepared is useless, and you still have no suspense to be hanged!
Faced with this situation, Stan Van Gundy had to abandon the man-to-man tactic, although he also knew that only this tactic could defeat the Knicks. But... It's completely useless, it's like listening to a lot of stories and drinking a lot of chicken soup, but still can't live a good life.
At this moment, even more helpless than Van Gundy is the director of ESPN, they finally grabbed a round of Knicks live broadcast, but what awaits them is a game without suspense, the Knicks show the trend of hanging and flat pushing as soon as they come up, and the Magic team does not seem to have the slightest ability to resist.
If this continues, where will the ratings come from? Where does the advertising fee come from? Why is it always T-NT that earns a lot of money? Why? Why?
ESPN felt that all of this was unfair.
But there is no such thing as absolute fairness. It's as if ESPN didn't think about whether it was fair enough to Xiao Xiao when it was crazy and black and sloppy for no reason and no reason!
The game quickly resumed, and the Magic, who had abandoned the tactics of marking and physical exertion, finally played some routines, but this offensive improvement did not hide the fact that they continued to be beaten...... The Knicks found the Magic's way of life from the beginning and ate them to death, and the Magic team had no way of finding a counterattack... So the turmoil was just wishful thinking on the part of the Magic team - which is why Xiao Xiao did not respond to the Magic's provocation before.
As the game progressed, the fans at the Waterhouse Center also began to gradually leave.
They left with a look of loss and confusion on their faces, and it was clear that this was not the game they wanted to see.
However, Xiao Shi had already reminded them before... Xiao Shi had long told them to lower their hopes so that they would not be disappointed...... But they won't listen!
The game lost its suspense from the beginning of the second quarter, and after halftime, the score gap rose to 20 points, and the game went into garbage time from the second half of the third quarter.
In the end, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals ended hastily without a single wave, and the Magic lost the game as if the water was dead in water.
135:89。
The Knicks almost created the largest point margin in the Eastern Conference Finals.
And those who have watched the game know that the gap between the two teams is not only the 46 points, the gap is all-round, and the gap is that the Magic team is completely unable to threaten the victory of the Knicks, so, if there are no accidents, Knicks fans will be able to witness the team's third sweep since the start of the playoffs at Madison Garden next Saturday!!
If the sweep is successful, it will be the second team this century since the Lakers to reach the Finals with a sweep, and the Lakers won the championship that year.
Before the playoffs began, no one could have expected the Knicks to go so smoothly in the playoffs, sweeping opponents in a row, and now they have a ticket to the Finals in their pockets...... After the first game. No one would think the Magic could threaten the Knicks to reach the Finals. Including the Magic. They're starting to dismiss it, too... Ambition is such a thing, it is better to match the strength, otherwise it will become a joke.
"I don't think the Knicks are as strong as they are right now, but their style of play is that they are naturally restrained and we don't know why, but it's a fact now. I couldn't find any excuse for the first defeat, and we accepted it. But. In the next game, we will play a new rhythm. The Magic team is not so easy to surrender, and even less so easy to surrender! The Magic head coach summed up the defeat in his post-game press conference.
He said very calmly, did not avoid failure, and did not find reasons for failure, but lost frankly.
Compared to Stan Van Gundy's candid loss, Jamil Nelson seems to be a little unable to lose: "Although the defeat has become a fact, I still have to say that we have a big problem on the defensive end, we don't have a good connection with everyone's defense, and our defense is always a big hole. In the end, Dwight will always be the only one to fill in the gaps...... It's the playoffs now, and there's a limit to one's power. We have to stick together in the next game, I believe there is never an opponent in this world that cannot be beaten, the Celtics we can beat, and the New Yorkers will certainly be no exception!! In the end, the referee's decision was really incomprehensible to me, and whenever we started to chase points, there would always be one or two whistles that were not good for us to interrupt our thinking. ”
Jamil Nelson's 'frank' black pot was thrown to the team's defense and the referee's decision!
These two reasons for losing are basically plug-and-play justifications, and almost every game loser can use them to explain or disguise their defeat. Because the basketball court is nothing more than offense, defense and referee's penalty, because he is a point guard, so it is very unfavorable for him to say that the offense is not good, so defense and refereeing have become two reasons for him not to let go.
Jamison's pot was thrown out, but his teammates didn't pick it up, Matt Barnes expressed his disdain for Jamil Nelson very bluntly in front of the media: "Before criticizing his teammates, he should first review himself, whether it's Raymond Felton or Stephen Marbury of the Knicks, or even a guy like Nate Robinson can easily fly past him, he is the biggest defensive colander, I really don't know where his courage comes from." ”
Matt Barnes didn't show any emotion, because he had seen through Nelson's virtues, and instead of letting him rely on the sky, it was better to expose his disguise in public and let him know what shame was.
And being choked by Matt Barnes in public, Jamil Nelson instantly lost face. However, he did not respond again, and the more he responded to this matter, the greater the humiliation.
The referee on duty made it very clear that if Nelson felt that there was a problem with any decision, he would appeal to the referees' association, and they were willing to take responsibility for every decision.
Such a tough attitude is something that the referees rarely have. And once such a tough attitude appears, then it naturally means that Nelson's face is pumped again!
The two pots in a row were not thrown out, but they received two slaps, and Jamil Nelson can be said to have more than worth the loss.
Jamil Nelson, who wanted to dump the pot, was slapped in the face.
The Knicks player who won the game kept a low profile, and Xiao Xiao seemed to be a little coping in an interview, and said a few perfunctory words: "Winning the first game is a good start for us, and we will continue to work hard, game after game, and move forward with firm steps towards our set goals." ”
When asked what his goal was, Xiao Xiao was speechless: "I said it last summer!" At Tyson Chandler's signing ceremony, I said that my goal for this season is to win the championship. At that time, I remember that the newspaper media laughed for at least half a month... It can't be helped, it's an offseason after all, and there doesn't seem to be anything funnier going on. ”
Xiao Sa brought up the old things, and suddenly everyone remembered that Xiao Sage did say that he wanted to win the championship in the 09-10 season, but everyone didn't take it seriously at the beginning, or thought it was impossible, so they ridiculed and humiliated it. After all, Xiao Shi at that time was not the first person in the alliance today...... No one expected that Xiao Xiao would be promoted so quickly in just one season, and what he didn't expect was that the Knicks really became the championship favorites under Xiao Xiao's leadership, and now they are already in their pockets for the finals.
In fact, during the regular season, there were still people who thought that the Knicks would not even make the playoffs, and now that they have swept the Hawks and Cavaliers in a row, the Magic team is immediately in jeopardy.
Therefore, when the old story was brought up again, most of the reporters present felt quite uncomfortable, because they had more or less laughed at the 'dream' of Xiao.
Because of this, Xiao Xiao was even more lazy to pay attention to them, and soon left the press conference, leaving Bob to talk nonsense with them.
The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals came with a storm and thunder, but it ended quietly and peacefully.
Completely different from the Eastern Conference Finals is the Western Conference Finals a day later, the Spurs, who finally won through the tie-break, and the Lakers, who aim to win the championship, met at the Stamp Arena.
In the end, the Lakers won a hard-fought 96-94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, and if it wasn't for Kobe Bryant's damn three-pointer shot in the end, the San Antonio Spurs would have won.
The Western Conference Finals can be described as thunderous, and the difficulty level is S-level for both teams, and according to the posture of the two teams, at least six games or even seven will be played, which shows how tragic this battle will be.
In comparison, the Eastern Conference Finals are simply a game!!
In this situation, countless voices began to appear.
"The Knicks are simply taking advantage of the fisherman's profit, and the chic is so insidious that it is terrifying, and he successfully planned a sweeping path, which allowed the Knicks to maintain their physical strength as never before when they entered the Finals. And whether San Antonio or the Lakers make it to the Finals, their stamina will be depleted by the Western Conference Finals...... What a calculation!! "Poisonous tongue Bill Simmons is black and dashing at every opportunity, black and crazy, since the All-Star Game, the two have become an endless hostile relationship, after all, Xiao Xiao almost ruined his job...... Let him, the most valuable front-line commentator, directly become a small coffee who can only appear in the scraps now - this hatred is not shared!!
Bill Simmons' speech focused on the sinister and sinister of chic.
Others, although similar to him, focused on praising Xiao's wisdom and planning ability.
This deviation is undoubtedly caused by subjective factors.
In this regard, Xiao Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to it, and he didn't bother to respond.
The second game is coming soon.
The Knicks were on the court at the Mizuya arena again, and the game restarted as the referee's whistle blew.
In this game, the Magic team used a wrap-and-wrap tactic, and he also let Matt Barnes and Michael Petrus, two defensive giants, surround Xiao Xiao at the same time, giving Xiao Xiao defensive care from beginning to end.
However, history has proven countless times that the bag clip is of no use for chic.
When Xiao Sao receives the ball and wants to break through, the double bag clip looks a little too pediatric.
In fact, Xiao can also help the Knicks without having to carry the ball at all, and it is easier to help the team when he has two tails.
As soon as Xiao took Barnes and Petrus in the Magic's half, the Magic's defense was shattered in an instant, and it was completely disorganized, so... The Knicks scored easily inside.
This kind of scoring is not difficult for the other Knicks players at all, so they don't bother to celebrate, and they all have stinky farts looks on their faces, 'Lao Tzu is so boring, play with you kindergarten kids'!!
In this stinky look, the score is getting bigger and bigger. The Magic didn't have the ability to fight back at all, and no matter how they changed their moves, the Knicks remained firm and always kept ahead.
