Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 502
Sweeping their opponents 4:0, the Knicks took the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Wizards have tried their best, but they still can't take away even a victory.

The Knicks finally got more rest time and can wait slowly for the appearance of the last opponent in the East.

On the other side of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Eagles and Bulls have almost blown their minds out.

In this series, the Bulls actually took the lead in gaining an advantage. The Bulls' overall defense is better, and their strong personal abilities are also stronger.

However, the Bulls showed another moth like in the first round.

Rose and Butler fought each other hard, especially Rose, who didn't realize that his core style of play needed to be slightly changed after multiple injuries.

The Eagles players on the other side may not be as strong, but they are relatively stable and there are more people involved in the offense.

Unlike the Bulls, Rose finished throwing Butler.

In fact, the announcement is not a star style of play. Although their offense is not as good as their defense, they are still relatively good as a team.

The Bulls' two insiders, Pau Gasol and Noah, also have the ability to respond, and it stands to reason that they can play a better offense.

But often when they fight, it doesn't make sense.

The key point is that Rose and Butler really didn't intend to fight against each other. They both wanted to help the team, but in the end they hurt the team.

The two sides reached the tiebreaker. As the Bulls became less confident as they played more offensively, the players' shooting percentage continued to drop. The relatively stable Hawks had the last laugh and met the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

And here, the second round of the playoffs was even more chaotic.

The Lakers always had a tiebreaker, and they played a tiebreaker with the Clippers in the second round.

Zhang Sixin was worried that Kobe had suffered such an injury again, but the old man was still tough in the playoffs.

Kobe is actually a bit inefficient and is still old, but James and DeRozan are still good. The Lakers squeezed into the Western Conference Finals by relying on the performance of the giants.

The main reason is that the Clippers do not live up to expectations. Although the Lakers have stars, the Clippers have a more organized lineup. There is no obvious weak link in each position, and they also have stars.

Paul and Griffin started to perform well, and the Clippers still took the lead.

But in the end, they just couldn't hold on.

Paul has claimed to be stable for many years, but he can't perform at a critical moment, and he has not entered the Western Conference Finals until now, which is embarrassing.

Whether it is due to physical limitations or psychological reasons, anyway, the Clippers were reversed by the Lakers.

The league officials are happy, after all, the Lakers are more popular.

James teamed up with Kobe, but it has been hyped for a year.

Back then, the league hoped that they would meet in the finals, but they always failed to do so. Now that the two are teaming up to reach the finals, it is also a good story.

In the game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves, Curry shot 40+ in a row, but eventually lost to the Rockets in six games.

The Rockets did find a way in the last few games. The restrictions on Curry were much better, and Harden, Anthony and Howard also had outstanding performances.

Curry is the only one left in the Big Three of the Timberwolves. This season, there is no good big insider, so Howard has played a big role, and it is reasonable to lose.

The Rockets are actually not playing well. It can only be said that the current Timberwolves are really weakened.

The supplementary fresh blood will not be able to play in the playoffs.

Tyronn Lu is not Zhang Sixin, he cannot quickly upgrade young players.

The Timberwolves can still be lively during the regular season, but after suffering another injury in the playoffs, they really can't do it.

The Knicks rested for ten days this time, and Zhang Sixin was worried that the players would not find the touch.

Fortunately, the Knicks are not relying on touch to make a living, and the Eastern Conference Finals finally arrived in late May.

Their opponent, the Eagles, is still a familiar lineup, with insiders, outsiders, and substitutes.

The disadvantage may be that the strong point does not have the ability to solve problems alone, or it is a little short inside.

Horford and Millsap are really not tall enough, so they don't have low post ability, and the defense is naturally affected.

The Eagles have achieved good results in the East this season, but they have also abandoned the tradition of the strong teams in the East, that is, defense. They are not just bad inside defense.

However, it's not too bad, but it's quite satisfactory at the level of the Eastern Conference finals.

The Knicks' offense is not that prominent this season, but it is also a very strong grade, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

At the start of the game, the Eagles entered the state faster.

Under Carroll's entanglement, Leonard's start was just average.

Hawks coach Budenholzer smiled on the sidelines. He told the players before the game that the Knicks had rested too long, and they should open up faster and gain an advantage.

Now that they have, it's a good sign.

However, the Eagles were not happy for long.

As the rotation time came, the Knicks gradually attacked.

Middleton performed well again, but the Hawks' sixth man Schroeder didn't feel well.

The Hawks may be considered stable in front of other teams, but it is difficult to play consistently in front of the Knicks.

In the second quarter, Leonard felt that the Eagles could no longer defend.

"No, the Knicks have an easy game in the East."

"This season's playoffs is that the Knicks have a different style of painting and are completely unique."

"I thought the Eagles could last a little longer, but they couldn't stand it in the first half."

"It's the Knicks that are getting stronger and stronger. The growth rate of young players under Zhang Sixin is really amazing. He has trained so many young talents for the league."

"Haha, the Timberwolves used to send talent to the league. Now it's the Knicks' turn. I can also be the general manager of the current team. Anyway, I can just focus on the young people trained by Zhang Sixin. I don't know how to do it."

The advantage in the first quarter was not grasped. During the intermission, the Eagles general also carefully analyzed the tactics, hoping to do a better defense in the second half and create a miracle.

"The Knicks are very strong, but we are not without hope. We are extremely united. We have come to this point this season, and we can continue to go on." Budenholzer encouraged the players.

In the third quarter, the Eagles increased their defensive strength, but soon Carroll had two more fouls.

I really can't stand it. When Leonard is accurate in the middle distance, he can't solve it with his upper body.

After the strength increased, the Eagles were a little uncomfortable, and the offense was completely unable to play.

It may also be that the Knicks are too defensive. Even if the Eagles cooperate very well, the Knicks can still lock them up.

In the face of the Knicks' defense, only the stars can break through forcibly, and other teams are younger than tacit understanding.

In desperation, the Eagles increased their three-pointers.

It's a pity that under the defense of the Knicks, neither Korver nor Teague had a chance, and Millsapura couldn't make a shot when he went out. The Eagles were in danger.
