Chapter 241 Finally Came This Day

On the last day of March, not only the Knicks defeated the Mavericks, but the Toronto Raptors in the same division were also unambiguous. They defeated the Washington Wizards 123-118 away.

In other words, the Wizards are really sad. Before the "General" Arenas was injured, they were No.2 in the Eastern Conference. Although the gap with the Cavaliers is not big, the second is the second.But now, after losing the Raptors, they have even given up the top spot in the Southeast Division.

Things are really impermanent, don't get hurt!

Alright, don't pay attention to Lao Hu's emotion, let's enter the first round of the Knicks' playoffs for home court advantage.

However, before that, Lao Hu had a happy event again, because his performance in March was very outstanding, and the Knicks also achieved a series of victories. This guy was once again officially named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month by the NBA!
Facing such an honor, and remembering the previous trophy, Lao Hu silently prayed in his heart that his face must appear on the trophy!
On April 4, the Knicks had a game, but this game put them directly ahead of the Raptors by half a game. They defeated the New Orleans Hornets away.Or the Hornets without Paul and David West.

Of course, after the game, Lao Hu and Lao Li found Paul to go out to play again, but this time there was Paul's girlfriend Jada.So, it was another very pure party.

The reason why they are able to lead the Raptors by half a game is entirely because the Raptors have no game on this day, and their game is on April 4, which is tomorrow.

As a result, the Knicks' half-game lead lasted less than 24 hours before disappearing. The Raptors defeated the invading Charlotte Bobcats 107-94 at home.

This year, that is, the 06-07 season, a big thing happened to the Bobcats!That is the god of basketball, Michael Jordan took over the Bobcats and became the second largest shareholder of the youngest team in the NBA!

To be honest, this is really a very cost-effective deal.That's right, in Lao Hu's eyes, this is a deal, Bobcats owner Robert Johnson made a successful deal.He actually used the shares of the Bobcats to let Jordan advertise the team and smoke North Carolina basketball fans.

There was no way around this. The previous attendance rate of the Bobcats was bleak. Two or three kittens in a game would cost Robert Johnson to death.

Of course, with Jordan, as the god of basketball, and fond memories of the North Carolina Sulfur Heels, the Bobcats will certainly attract a lot of North Carolina fans.But with Jordan, it doesn't necessarily make the Bobcats a strong team.For example, in this loss to the Raptors, although the score difference was not big, the Bobcats were suppressed by the Raptors for a whole game, and the fans didn't see a trace of struggle at all.It seems that this dragon is really stronger than a cat.

In other words, Lao Hu really has a bit of resentment towards Mr. Joe this season. He wanted to ask for his autograph when he played away, but he left early. Hey~
Put aside the embarrassment of this guy Hu, the regular season has entered April, and basically every game is a fierce and deadly game!Almost every game can be related to the final playoff ranking, so you can't relax a bit.

However, Lao Hu is not under much psychological pressure now, because after reading the analysis on the Internet before, this is really the case, so it is better to keep an eye on the Raptors.

As for how after the first round, this guy, Lao Hu, will not think about it for the time being, because the first round of the playoffs is actually a hurdle, and many people will have trouble getting through it!

On April 4th, the good news came. On this day, the Knicks did not have a game, but the Raptors were going to challenge the Heat in hot Miami!As a result, it seems that the spring is still cold in Canada, and suddenly the Raptors are not used to going to the South Coast. Therefore, these guys lost to the Heat 4 to 89!
In fact, the Raptors didn't complain about losing this game. The Heat's 'Shark' O'Neal is back, and he's in good shape. The Heat are at their peak recently. They were able to roast the Raptors at home. This is no surprise.

This is indeed good news. The Raptors' self-disruption allowed the Knicks to comfortably sit on the throne of the division champion.The regular season is like this, sometimes it's a question of who can survive, the longer you persist, the better you will be.

However, as the saying goes, things are impermanent, everyone has time to recite words, and there is no one who does not wet his shoes when he often walks by the river, and the boat capsized in the gutter...

好吧，4月5日，尼克斯在主场以90比92败给了76人队！

This is a rebuilding 76ers!This is a 76ers who can't tell if it's bad or not!This is a 76ers without the 'answer' Allen Iverson!
But the Knicks just lost, what can you do?
Originally, the Knicks led by 1 point before the end of the game, but at the last second, 'Little AI' Iguodala made a three-pointer.Throughout the game, the Knicks' efforts were in vain!

To be honest, this is very unscientific. Iguodala's shooting is convulsive, and in Lao Hu's words, it is obviously not standard.The high shooting percentage in statistics is all achieved by dunking.

It's a pity that such a guy ended the Knicks' winning streak with a non-standard three-pointer. I'm afraid this is the NBA.

Well, Lao Hu's sour grape mentality is really bad, probably because Iguodala steals it twice in the game, he thinks so!Of course, it may also be because Lao Hu originally won the player of the month trophy for this game. There was a small ceremony at the beginning of the game, but it turned out to be disturbed by Iguodala. Hey~
Fortunately, this time Lao Hu's face finally appeared on the trophy, although...but...you just need to think handsome!
But losing this game is actually nothing, but on the 5th, the Raptors also had a game, and they killed the Orlando Magic away!The score is also very close. Although 111 to 108 is not a lore, it is still very thrilling. Could it be that God will not help the Knicks?
This time it's all right, just leading by half a body position, and suddenly let the Raptors overtake by half!

This... this is probably the NBA!
In any case, the game will continue, unless you don't want to play in the NBA anymore! On April 4, both the Raptors and the Knicks will have a game. The Raptors will challenge the 7ers away, and the Knicks will play against the Timberwolves at home.

Fortunately, they all won the game!

It's just that the 76ers helped the Raptors invisibly, which really made the New York fans a little speechless.

Next, on April 4, the Knicks challenged the Milwaukee Bucks away.For this year's rotten Bucks, now the second-to-last in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks finally did not miss this time, defeating their opponents 8 to 118, although judging from the score, it is still very thrilling.

On this day, it was the Raptors' turn to rest. In this way, the Knicks and the Raptors returned to the same starting line. Of course, the Knicks once again won the first place in the Atlantic Division because of the relationship between victory and defeat.

Next, on April 4, the Raptors took the lead again. They scored 9 to 103 at home and killed the invading Chicago Bulls!

The current record of the Bulls is not bad. They have won two games more than the Raptors and the Knicks. However, this also reflects the tragedy of the Bulls from the side. Even after that, they won all the games. , Whether it can enter the top four in the Eastern Conference still depends on the face of the Cavaliers.

In this way, the Knicks and the Raptors, No. 2 and No. 4 in the Atlantic Division, of course, it is not yet known who will win the first and who will get the second.In short, they just kept biting each other, and no one would let the other go.They want to win and everyone wins together, and if they want to lose, everyone loses together.Anyway, it's just getting better, and it's in this state until April 16th!
April 4th is an ordinary day that cannot be in an ordinary day, and it is not even as commemorative as the 16st day of this month.However, this day is definitely a day worthy of attention for the Knicks and Raptors, as well as their respective fans!
On this day, the New York Knicks challenged the Toronto Raptors away!

On this day, the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Division should decide who is the first and who is the second, because the Knicks and the Raptors have the same record of 42 wins and 36 losses, and their previous record is , The Knicks have a certain advantage with 2 wins and 1 loss.

However, as long as the Raptors can win the opponent at home in this game, they can basically lock in the Atlantic Division championship, and the same is true for the Knicks.

Because, after this game, the regular season is coming to an end, and none of their opponents are very strong.

This battle for the top spot in the Atlantic Division is also a focus event in the NBA recently. Many media have seen the truth in it, and they are all rushing to report on the games of these two teams.

And this battle of focus between them has attracted countless attentions. Naturally, the major media will not let go of this good opportunity.

As a result, TNT sent their ace commentator to Canada to comment on the spotlight battle.

I believe everyone has already guessed who it is, yes, they are...

"Ahaha! The weather in Canada is really refreshing and pleasant, you know Kenny, the Miami I went to was hell for me!" This guy Barkley was talking about him with a microphone. Miami trip.

"I feel like the weather is one thing, but doesn't someone's ass have any effect?" Smith was joking very nonchalantly. Of course, no one would mind making fun of others.
