Chapter 158 Entering the Second Round

After Li Hai broke through, he collided fiercely with Jeffries who came to defend, but the ball still fell into the basket.

Excellent physical fitness and steady shooting are what Li Hai relies on.

Doing what he can do, coupled with his extraordinary concentration, even if he is not top-notch in all aspects, he is unstoppable at this time.

The Wizards asked for a timeout, and Arenas stared, "Coach, let me come, I can make the ball."

Eddie Jordan touched his head, expressing his acquiescence, and he has no more moves.

At 1 minute and 10 seconds, Li Hai defended against a foul, and Arenas hit two free throws to score the 40th point.

The score between the two sides became a 98:98 tie.

At 45.9 seconds, Li Hai assisted Channing Frye to complete a dunk, and the Knicks led by 2 points again.

Then Arenas rushed to the Knicks' basket again, but missed a shot under Li Hai's interference.

At 26.4 seconds, Li Haizhong missed a shot, giving the Wizards a chance.

Trailing by 2 points, the Wizards didn't dare to leave time behind, but the Knicks' defense was very tight, especially on the perimeter. Arenas tried to rush in twice but failed.

The Knicks' outside line is actually not at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, but their defensive habits are a bit bad. This season has not been completely corrected, but at the last moment, they focused all their attention and were able to defend very well.

On the other hand, even Arenas did not dare to shoot at will.

But as the offensive time dwindled, Arenas didn't have too many choices. At this time, he might not be able to beat the whistle by forcing himself inside. Place, without getting rid of the defender, he forced a shot.

His choice also stunned the Knicks players. The offensive moment has not yet come to an end, and Arenas' choice is indeed different from others.

The arc of the basketball in the air was not enough, but Arenas played it hard.

With a bang, the basketball went into the basket, and a three-pointer was hit head-on, and the audience was silent.

100:101, with only 8.3 seconds left, the Knicks trailed by 1 point.

When they called a timeout, Arenas returned to the bench with open arms, 43 points, extremely domineering.

The Knicks quickly took out the last shooting tactic they had prepared before. There were several choices. Speaking of pitchers, the Knicks selected five more than enough.

But because they were only 1 point behind, they replaced Eddie Curry.

Li Hai stepped forward to catch the ball, but was immediately surrounded. He passed the ball to Marbury, and immediately rushed to the basket. At this time, Eddie Curry had already emptied the inside.

Marbury did not find a suitable passing line, and time was running out, so Marbury directly shot a three-pointer.

The ball was shot under strict defense, and the strength was not enough, but it just flew in Li Hai's direction.

Marbury also saw that there was no chance to make an early shot. If he made a hit, he would make a hit. He made this choice later.

The basketball directly hit the basketball court and fell, Li Hai rushed to the air and pointed the ball towards the basket.

When the ball fell, the calculator on the backboard just turned on the red light.

102:101, lore, Li Hai's tip-up lore.

The Knicks players rushed together cheering, and the fans above the stands also shouted and jumped excitedly.

The referee confirmed that the goal was valid, the game ended, and the Knicks entered the second round of the playoffs with a score of 4:1.

Li Hai's double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds fully demonstrated that he was born for the playoffs, and the more critical he was, the stronger he would be.

After the game, the Knicks players accepted congratulations from the Wizards.

Off the field, they are not enemies, but at this time, the opponent's face is a little more lonely.

This is the playoffs. Some people are happy and some are sad. The Knicks can only continue to move forward firmly.

The Clippers and Pistons also won the opponent 4:1. The four teams that win first will not meet for the time being, and they all have to wait for their opponents to appear.

While the playoffs were going on, the awards for each regular season were also released one after another.

The Knicks have performed well this season and must have gained something.

The rookie of the season was Chris Paul, and Channing Frye was named to the All-Rookie First Team along with Paul, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva and Deron Williams.

The rookie second team is Raymond - Felton, Luther - Hyde, Danny - Granger, Ryan - Gomez and Marvin - Williams.

Everyone in the Knicks congratulated Channing Frye and complained for Nate Robinson. Judging from his performance, even if he can't enter the first team, it should be no problem to enter the second team.

In the selection of the best six players, Crawford won the honor with a slight advantage over Mike Miller of the Grizzlies. The addition of Li Hai made the Knicks record even better. He became the sixth man in a stable manner, so he became the "gram six" earlier than another time and space, with 14.3 points, 3.8 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals, which is also worthy of this award.

Avery Johnson was won by Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, but Most Improved Player was won by Suns player Boris Diaw, who became the starter because of Stoudemire's injury.

The best defensive player was won by Ben Wallace, and Li Hai also got sporadic votes, but it was still far from this award.

However, because of Li Hai's excellent defensive performance, he successfully entered the second defensive team.
