While the playoffs were in full swing, the NbA officially announced the first honor of the 2011-2012 regular season, the Most Improved Player Award, which belonged to the Orlando Magic's forward Ryan Anderson.

The second more important honor is the best sixth man, which belongs to the third whistle of the Thunder's three whistles, Jingdezhen porcelain king, the second-generation bearded James Harden, who averaged 16.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season, which is a lot better than last season.

In May, the Wizards rushed to New York, the largest city in Emerica, to start the first round of the playoffs.

On May 3, Madison Garden Plaza, the holy land of NbA, long before the game, Xiao Si's situation had been exposed, his arm was punctured by broken glass, and the game was confirmed to be unplayable.

But even with one less team core and a big score of 2-0, Knicks head coach D'Antoni still didn't show his timidity in the pregame interview.

"We don't fall behind and we don't have to be tied up, on the contrary, we are unfettered now. We've been through a lot together, and if the other side wants to go wild on our home turf, I'm sure neither the players nor the crowd will agree to get a ticket to the next round, then step over our corpses! ”

The Knicks, who lost Jr., really made them a little angry, plus this is an away game, Thompson and Leonard are still playing away for the first time in their careers, so after coming up, both of them performed badly, Thompson missed all three three-point attempts, and Leonard was blown 2 fouls in the first quarter to calm down.

The audience at Madison Square also played a big role, combining the right time and place, and actually allowed the Knicks to lead the Wizards by 8 points after coming up, and even led by 10 points after the first quarter!

The fans in New York were already cheering, and they were shouting in unison under the leadership of the live dJ!

"Black 8! Black 8! Black 8! ”

And a loyal fan of the Knicks, the famous director Spike Lee, couldn't sit still on the sidelines, and stood up directly with one hand on his waist and the other hand pointing at the Wizards players on the court and spitting ideas!

For a while, it seemed that the Wizards were fighting against the whole world, and the more they fell behind, the lower their morale became, and the more they dared not let go of their hands and feet, which was a vicious circle.

Still, the Knicks audience celebrated a little early, as they seemed to have forgotten that there was once a man who conquered Madison Garden, and now they shouted "Black 8" that undoubtedly angered the man.

It just so happens that the Wizards need him to step up.

So Li Kaiming naturally took over the ball and started his performance.

The Knicks' starting power forward who replaced Xiao Si is called Steve Novak, a second-round pick in 2006, who has played NbA for several years and has never scored a double-double, and the most important thing is that as a full-size standard power forward with a height of 208, his average rebounds per game have reached the peak of his career this season, with 1.9!

1.9 rebounds, it is estimated that a 208 pole under the basket will not only grab this......

The biggest characteristic of this guy is that he has a soft touch, which is why he can stay in NbA all the time.

However, his style of player against Li Kaiming, it is simply finished, after the ball to the front, Li Kaiming directly changed direction and broke through Novak, with Li Kaiming's speed, there is no difference between crossing him and crossing the road in the early morning.

After reaching the middle distance, Li Kaiming, the Knicks, and the others were unguarded, and Li Kaiming directly pulled up and hit!

After the Knicks served to the frontcourt, he gave Anthony a single, who tried to hit Leonard with his back, and his weight and strength were indeed superior, but Leonard interfered with Anthony's shot with an extra-long arm span, Anthony missed the shot, and Li Kaiming squeezed away Novak, who was like a noodle, and after holding the basketball with one hand, he dribbled to the frontcourt!

Novak had long been left behind by him, and the latter couldn't even breathe in the heat at the latter's speed.

The rest of the Knicks came over to help defend and let Li Kaiming slow down, but Li Kaiming directly made a large push to the left to change direction, and at the same time evaded the defense sideways, successfully breaking through the first layer of defense.

The rest of the Knicks saw that the situation was not good, and they wanted to rush over and foul, but at this time Li Kaiming had already rushed outside the three-point line, and he would not give the opponent any chance to stop his attack, even if most of his teammates were not in place now, he pulled it up and threw it directly when he reached the three-point line!

Swish!

Li Kaiming scored 5 points in a row to close the gap to 5 points, and D'Antoni on the sidelines was already a little anxious, waving at Novak non-stop, asking him to cling to prevent Li Kaiming from receiving the ball.

The Knicks attacked Davis, and Tyson Chandler blocked and went to the basket, ready to give Chandler an empty catch, at this time Li Kaiming shot out from the side, and directly fanned the ball out of the bottom line with a volleyball cap!

After the cap ended, Li Kaiming pointed to the sky with one hand under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in Madison Garden!

The Knicks sent the ball to Anthony, who received the ball and threw it, played iron under Leonard's defense, Brach protected the rebound, and Li Kaiming directly wanted to come over and hold the ball for half of the court.

Novak was a little afraid that he would be overcome, so he had to take a step to defend, Li Kaiming didn't give him a little face, and hit a three-point shot again!

Three rounds, 8 points in a row!

The Knicks called a timeout, and the Wizards bench had already waved five or six towels, and the camera on the scene locked on the back of Li Kaiming's departure, and Li Kaiming's surname added a Wizards' No. 0, which took the breath away from countless Knicks fans.

After the pause, the Knicks began to wrap Li Kaiming to prevent the ball, but the rest of the Wizards team was not dry, especially at this time the Wizards had passed the most difficult stage, and Li Kaiming used his personal strength to pull the team out of the quagmire.

Hinrich threw directly in the face of the vacant position, the Wizards overtook him, and Spike Lee on the sidelines had sat down silently for some time, and his expression could not be seen through his sunglasses, but his face should not look good.

Hinrich's three-point shot sounded the horn of the Wizards' counterattack, and the Knicks continued to wrap Li Kaiming for three rounds, and finally the Wizards found an open opportunity on the outside, and Thompson, who had been iron for more than a quarter, felt revived and fired continuously outside the three-point line, stopping the Knicks again!

At the end of the second quarter, the Wizards went from a 10-point deficit to a six-point lead in the first quarter, and the "Black 8" cry at Madison Garden had long since been silenced.

When a shooter like Thompson finds his state, it will be very difficult to hold it down, in the third quarter of the game, Li Kaiming didn't even need to stand up by himself, just used his containment to create opportunities for his teammates, and then kept dealing cards, and Thompson ushered in an explosion, he hit 4 three-pointers in the third quarter and scored 12 points, and the Wizards also played a wave to stretch the difference to 15 points!

The situation in the fourth quarter is very clear, even if the Knicks have a complete lineup, it is difficult to chase points, not to mention that there is one less team core.

In the end, the Wizards won G3 109-97 at Madison Garden and got the series point in the series.

Li Kaiming played 39 minutes, shooting 14-of-18, including 3-of-5 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws, and scored a triple-double of 34 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks.

Thompson is the second-best player on the Wizards, he shot 6 of 10 three-pointers from the field, got 22 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, and this is the first time Thompson has experienced the feeling of Li Kaiming's three-point explosion!

Leonard focused most of his energy on defending Anthony, so he didn't score much, only 4 points, 9 rebounds and 1 steal.

Anthony scored 25 points on 10-of-23 shooting under Leonard's defense, and his efficiency was very average, which shows that Leonard at this time has vaguely shown the strength of the outside gate.

After the third game of the series, the situation of Xiao Si became clearer, and this series will not be played, which means that Xiao Si and the Knicks' journey this season has come to an end.

Without Xiao Si, the Knicks, who are 0-3 behind, have no chance of winning.

After the end of G3, NbA officially announced its third regular season honor, Best Rookie.

The Cavaliers' No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, was phenomenal, so he got 117 of the 121 first-choice votes and won the Rookie of the Season by a landslide.

And to the excitement of the Wizards players, the two rookies that the Wizards spent a lot of money to win also appeared on the list of best rookies, Leonard averaged 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game to impress the judges, so he got a first vote from one of the judges and ranked fourth on the best rookie list with a total of 47 points.

Klay Thompson averaged 13 points per game and finished fifth on the All-Rookie list on 41 percent three-point shooting.

The performance of the two rookies has made the management and coaching staff of the Wizards full of confidence in the future of the team, even if they don't win the championship this season, with the team of Li Kaiming and the two generals, they will definitely be able to build a perennial championship team in the future!

Two days later, on May 5th, Wizards VS Knicks G4, in the pre-game interview, the Knicks' coaches and players admitted that they had stood on the edge of the cliff and needed to fight with their backs.

The Wizards are also prepared for this, and the opposite side is definitely going to fight back to the death, in this case, Li Kaiming must be released, as long as he can withstand the first wave of the Knicks' offense, and wait until the Wizards play later.

However, the only thing that makes people feel a little surprised is that Xiao Si, who was exposed to a broken arm before, not only appeared at the game scene, but also appeared in the starting list of the Knicks!

Off the beaten track! Didn't you say that the season was reimbursed? Is there anything you regret about this thing?

With a neat lineup and a broken boat, the Knicks set off a scoring frenzy as soon as they came up, especially Anthony, who felt particularly hot tonight, even if it was Leonard who defended him, he would still play it!

Anthony scored 14 points in the first quarter to lead the Knicks to a six-point lead over the Wizards.

In the second quarter, when Anthony still wanted to play, Li Kaiming stood up, he shot inside and out, scored 5 points in a row to stop the Knicks, and after the pause came back, his hand was still hot, and he did not fall behind Anthony.

Anthony's outbursts are limited, his shots are basically inside the three-point line, while Li Kaiming is a lot of shots outside the three-point line, in addition to scoring himself, he can also lead his teammates. So the Knicks only took a quarter, and after Li Kaiming started to exert his strength in the second quarter, the rhythm of the game was firmly grasped by the Wizards.

At the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Knicks 97-89 and swept the latter 4-0 to advance to the second round.

Li Kaiming played 41 minutes, shooting 15 of 24, including 5 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 39 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block.

On the other side, Anthony did have a good hand, scoring 41 points on 15-of-29 shooting, the only game in this series with a shooting percentage of more than 50 percent.

After Thompson's outburst in the last game, his skills seem to have entered a cooling state, and he scored only 8 points on 1 of 5 three-pointers in the whole game, and Leonard, who was paralyzed, actually felt hot tonight, not only able to shoot in the middle of the shot, but also scored a three-pointer!

Leonard got 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game, and the statistics were very beautiful.
