Chapter 621: Be Unique, Who Will Compete!

After sweeping the Wizards 4-0, the Knicks became the first team to advance to the conference semifinals this year.

According to the optimistic estimate of the New York media, fans want to see the Knicks game again, at least until a week later.

Players from other teams in the NBA were particularly upset when they saw the news that the New York media complained that the Knicks rested too long...

Peat, if we can advance earlier, we also want to advance earlier!

The first round of this year's Eastern and Western playoffs can be described as lively.

The Heat and the Bulls are currently fighting 3 to 1, and the Bulls have pulled back a victory after returning to the home court.

Chicago fans have said that if Rose is not injured, the Bulls will definitely be able to eliminate the Heat!

The Hawks and the Nets played 2-2. Many experts in this round of the series believe that they will play a full seven games.

The two teams are close in strength, and two of the first three games played overtime to decide the winner.

The Pacers also played 2-2 with the Celtics. The young team is not good at this point and is prone to make mistakes.

But the Celtics are already at the end of their strength. This team with an average age of 32.8 years old can't afford to consume it.

In the West, the Lakers tied the Warriors 2-2, the Spurs led the Clippers 3-1, the Mavericks led the Grizzlies 3-1, and the Thunder led the Rockets 3-1.

In short...except for the Knicks, the first round of this year's playoffs has been played back and forth.

If NBA teams also have group chats, what other teams want to do most now must be to kick the Knicks.

This team is so annoying.

...

Lin Yi, who didn't know that he had managed to pierce the hearts of other teams in the league, had dinner with Penguin Sports' forward reporting team after returning to New York.

Seeing Li Ruoqi who was already eating the third steak, Lin Yi smashed his tongue, "You...you can really eat it!"

Of course Lin Yi knew Li Ruoqi. In Lin Yi's previous life, this girl was very popular. This kind of girl with natural stupidity is very pleasing, at least not artificial.

However, Lin Yi didn't expect Li Ruoqi to be so edible.

How big is this girl's stomach?

Li Ruoqi smiled,

"I've always been a good eater."

"And I can't get fat no matter what I eat!"

Yang Yi and Wang Meng at the side touched their bellies one after another, silent.

When a person reaches middle age, his body will always gain weight involuntarily.

This is the eternal law of nature.

After eating, Yang Yi and Wang Meng also discussed with Lin Yi some changes in the Knicks this season.

Yang Yi asked curiously: "Alin, is your ultra-long three-pointer really so accurate during training?"

"Yes, Teacher Yang." Lin Yi was very helpless, why did others always refuse to believe him when he told the truth?

"It's too exaggerated. We can't understand basketball now." Yang Yi thought with emotion.

Lin Yi was also deeply moved, because he also knelt and watched football in his previous life.

Lin Yi didn't have the heart to continue pricking Teacher Yang's heart. In fact, Clay was also very accurate in training for ultra-long three-pointers...

It's just that Clay still doesn't dare to throw like Lin Yi like crazy.

After another two years, Clay's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, and Lin Yi's single-game three-point shooting record may be broken by this guy one night.

...

It seems that resting for too long is really not a good thing.

The Knicks felt like they were suffocating.

Of course, this kind of complaint is also to talk about it internally. If you really want to say this in an interview, the Knicks will become a "public enemy".

On May 2, after each team's fifth game in succession ... the Knicks will have to wait.

Because the second team that advanced to the conference semifinals still hasn't appeared!

Looking at the score of 3 to 2, although it is very happy to see the opponents being dragged into a hard fight, but... Coach, we want to play!

On the 3rd, the second team that advanced to the conference semifinals appeared.

But not in the East.

In the West, the Spurs defeated the Clippers with a total score of 4-2. This round of the series was similar to what Lin Yi expected. The Clippers caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs.

Once the young Clippers go well, the Spurs' old arms and legs can't keep up.

At the critical moment, GDP took turns to save the field. In the sixth game, Duncan became the patron saint of the Spurs inside. Parker made a sudden outside shot and fired all the firepower. Ginobili scored four consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter... ..

Your uncle, it has to be your uncle!

Regardless of how Butler won the FMVP last season, in fact, how far this Spurs can go depends on the performance of GDP.

The Clippers did not lose unjustly, and Griffin played well in this round of the series, but it is a pity that Silly Fen's short hands can't save the team.

This season, Griffin's progress has apparently stalled after playing with Jenner more and more.

This idiot, busy with fun in the summer, only started training after August, how could he improve...

Closer to home.

The second team to advance to the conference finals was the Thunder. After being dragged to Game 6 by the Rockets, the Thunder finally ended this embarrassing series.

There has been a lot of criticism of Durant in the market.

Because Durant is also a member of the 180 club this season, but in this round of the series, perhaps he wanted to express himself too much, and Du Xiaoshuai's performance was mediocre.

In this round of the series, it was Harden who brought people the biggest surprise.

Hu Zideng's ability to lead the team is really strong, and he will catch Perkins in this round of the series.

As a result, Perkins would encounter a foul crisis every game. After the Thunder's inside line lost its barrier, the Rockets simply gave it.

In this round of the series, if it weren't for Westbrook, it's hard to say that the Thunder would be dragged into Game 7.

Unlike the original trajectory of history, Westbrook, who would have suffered an injury in this round of the playoffs and missed the next game, was not injured.

In this round of the series, Turtle scored 24 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds per game!

The hit rate is as high as 48.5%!

The Rockets in this period also did not have a frame protection barrier. The King of Cakes did not know where it was. Asik was too bulky. After the Thunder figured it out, they refused to grind their positions with the Rockets and took away the game in a wave of G6.

Lin Yi was very curious, how far could Westbrook's uninjured Thunder go?

On the 4th, the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals were all released.

The Heat eventually eliminated the Bulls 4-3, and they will face the Pacers who eliminated the Celtics in the division semifinals.

The Knicks' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be the Nets, which also eliminated the Hawks 4-3.

In the West, the Spurs' opponent in the semifinals will be their old enemy Mavericks... The battle between the bulls and horses is imminent, and many experts believe that this round of the series is this year's Western Conference Finals.

In addition, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, there was also an upset.

The third-ranked Warriors in the Western Conference were overwhelmed by the Lakers and defeated 4-3.

Curry was very depressed... because the round trip obviously did not meet his psychological expectations.

Kobe was not injured, and it really caused a butterfly effect.

The Warriors still have that problem, lack of experience, and several of their strengths during this period were not so prominent when they met the Lakers.

The Lakers slowed down the pace of the game and played round after round with the Warriors. Kobe also started the mode of descending from the gods in the tiebreaker.

In that game, Chatting scored 40 points, and Jiasao also played 20+10.

The Warriors still lost to experience in the end, but in the coming year, with this experience, they will become even more terrifying.

In this round of the series, Curry, whose shooting percentage has dropped significantly compared to the regular season, has naturally become the target of criticism from the media.

Many people believe that Curry's style can only be abused in the regular season.

After seeing the media's evaluation, Curry secretly made up his mind to start fucking himself tomorrow, and he wanted to further improve his core strength.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, wanted to hit someone...

MD, do you think the Warriors are not strong enough, and give them an excuse to become stronger?

Lin Yi remembers very clearly that Curry, who performed mediocre in the playoffs in the 14/15 and 15/16 seasons, further accelerated his shooting speed after improving his core strength.

According to the Warriors' own team training statistics, Curry's highest shot speed can reach 0.25 seconds, and the average shot speed is 0.3 seconds.

How exaggerated is this shooting speed?

Even if Curry fights in front of you, you can't take it at all!

Because it's really just a blink of an eye, and it's gone!

In the two seasons of 16/17 and 17/18, although Durant turned an enemy into a friend, it is an indisputable fact that Curry's performance in the playoffs has become stronger.

At least... the Cavaliers found that it was not as easy as before for James to single out Curry.

...

The Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks and the Nets will officially start the first game of this series on May 6.

Compared with the Knicks, who had a full week of rest, the Nets had just finished the tiebreaker and had to immediately challenge the recognized number one favorite to win this season......

The hearts of the Nets soldiers were bitter.

In this round of the series, the Nets' only advantage is Deron.

Before the serious injury, Deron was still very good. In the regular season this season, Paul played very average in the match against Deron.

But this time they met in the playoffs, Paul didn't panic at all.

Paul found that since he accepted the fact of holding Lin Yi's thigh in his heart, he had completely let go of himself.

So what if you hang and beat me a few times?

Anyway, I was the one who touched the floor of the Dongjue, not you!

The main task of the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals is to strive for a sweep. The Nets are not weak, but in terms of lineup...one Lin Yi is enough to kill them.

Brook Lopez was feeling aggrieved.

You know, in the first round of the playoffs, he averaged 20 points and 6 rebounds per game, but he was the number one contributor to the Nets' advancement.

However......

Da Luo himself knew very well that when he met Lin Yi, he had no room to play.

For the Nets, the only advantage of this series is that they are very close to the Knicks, and there is no such thing as a home and away game.

However, this advantage may also turn into a disadvantage.

Because when the Knicks played against the Nets in the regular season, the Nets' home fans turned back not once or twice.

After all, in the minds of New York fans, there is only one team in New York, the Knicks.

This kind of concept is true even when the Knicks were terrible in the previous life, not to mention that the Knicks are the most popular team in the United States now?

Compared with this round of the series, the topic that people are most interested in at this time is probably the ownership of the major NBA awards this year.

On May 7, NBA officials will announce the major awards for this year's regular season.

Can Lin Yi win three consecutive MVPs?

The judges' voting has already ended. When seeing the voting results...President Stern let out a long sigh.

Xiao Hua on the side suddenly said: "How about..."
