The game went on minute by minute.

The Knicks' offense is getting more and more intense.

On the other hand, on the Celtics' side, although the offense is not weak, compared with the Knicks, it is much worse.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams had changed dramatically.

81 to 72.

The Knicks overtook the score!

And, 9 points ahead of the Celtics!

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks scored more than a dozen points more than the Celtics, nearly twenty points!

Such a gap is quite obvious!

By the start of the fourth quarter, the Celtics players had come to their senses.

Gary Payton, in particular, knows it all too well.

In this game, their Celtics have little chance of winning.

It could even be said that during the first two quarters of this game, the Knicks were playing around with them.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that it was really serious.

The results are also obvious.

The Celtics have no chance of winning.

Of course, this is also just wishful thinking on the part of Gary Payton and others.

In fact, if the Knicks don't play this game with such tactics, the possibility of losing is not small.

You know, in the first two quarters of the game, if it weren't for Mo Williams and others who scored desperately.

It is estimated that the score has long been pulled away by the Celtics.

By the time the game was played, Mo Williams and the others were already tired and sweating profusely, and they couldn't breathe.

Kyle Korver, for example, is starting to have some cramps.

It's really not that easy to use the offensive firepower of three people to compete with the offensive firepower of five people.

This is also the reason why Han Ning will say that he is very satisfied with the performance of Mo Williams and others.

It's not easy to get to this point!

Soon, the game was over.

It could even be over when the game entered the third quarter.

There is no suspense about the final result of both teams.

The Knicks won 107-100 against the Celtics.

I have to say that the Celtics are still very strong.

Even at the end of the game, the difference between the two teams was too big to catch up.

But he didn't replace the team's main players.

Instead, it was the Knicks who replaced several starters.

The bench players dropped some points in the face of the attack of the main players of the Celtics.

But even so, they won the game with a 7-point lead.

In this regard, the Celtics players still have a strong desire to win.

...................

After this game against the Celtics, the Knicks had mixed performances in the following games.

After all, not every game, the Knicks choose to let Da Yao and other interior players attack in the second half of the game, and they can achieve the effect they want.

Not every team will be defeated by this tactic of the Knicks and Han Ning.

Therefore, in the next few games, the Knicks also won and lost.

When the regular season was over, the Knicks had a total 65-17 record!

Although it is not as good as last season's record, it is still ranked first in the East.

Moreover, this season's record is not as good as last season's, and there are many factors.

At the very least, last season didn't have as many injuries as this one.

Therefore, even if it is not as good as last season's record, no one dares to say that the strength of this Knicks team has declined.

But, regardless, the Indiana Pacers, who are now in eighth place in the Eastern Conference regular season, are very happy.

Because the Knicks' current injury wave isn't over yet!

What they need to face is not a full Knicks.

That is, they have a great hope that they can accomplish the feat of Black Eight!

Currently, in the regular season standings of the East.

At the top of the list is the Knicks.

The second place is the Miami Heat.

They are followed by the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics, who sit in third and fourth place, respectively.

The fifth- and sixth-place teams are the Orlando Magic and the Washington Wizards, respectively.

Seventh place went to the Chicago Bulls.

In the original course of history, the Philadelphia 76ers, who were supposed to make the playoffs, were already very low in the East this season due to the absence of Allen Iverson.

It has nothing to do with making the playoffs.

And the New Jersey Nets, because of the rise of the Orlando Magic, caused them to lose the opportunity to enter the playoffs and were eliminated.

It can be said that the alliance has grown to the present.

Because of Han Ning, it is completely different from the original historical process.

In the following days, Han Ning was already about to lose one of the major advantages he had.

Prophet of the future situation.

Of course, he still knows a lot about the players who can achieve a lot in the future.

It's just that the direction of development of those teams is out of control.

...................

Time passed day by day.

It's finally time for the first game of the first round of the playoffs to begin.

The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers.

Han Ning and the players of the Knicks team, who have the home court advantage, are not at ease at all at this time.

Although it is said that there are some tactical changes that can be used in the regular season to make up for the lack of major players in the team.

But the pace and intensity of the playoffs and the regular season are very different.

No one can guarantee that the Knicks will be able to easily beat the Indiana Pacers without a big man.

On the other hand, the players and coaches on the Indiana Pacers side were very excited at this time.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

It's not just the protagonist's prerogative.

Anyone can take advantage of this.

At this time, Kurt Thomas was sitting next to the Knicks' bench on the sidelines.

Wearing a gray suit, his eyes revealed a trace of worry and a trace of unwillingness.

Before the start of this game, he went to the hospital for a follow-up.

It didn't turn out very well.

The injury is almost healed.

But these three words mean that he has not completely healed.

Once the doctor is sure that he can return to training, he will need a few more days of training to adjust his condition.

After that, he was able to return to the game.

It will take at least five to ten days.

By that time, the first round of the playoffs will be over!

In case the Knicks lose...........

He felt that he would be the sinner of the Knicks who failed to defend the championship!
