Chapter 231
"Let's show our best form, start from this game, and keep winning until we stand on the final peak again."

In the Knicks locker room, all the players gathered together, let go of prejudice and arrogance and united together, and their journey to the playoffs began again.

Even in the locker room, huge cheers could be heard outside. The team's performance made the Knicks' home fans even more crazy.

Li Hai seemed to be able to hear the familiar mandarin, and many fans came from China to cheer him on, which made him very motivated to fight.

"come on, come on, come on!"

In the shouts full of fighting spirit, the Knicks players rushed out of the player channel, enjoying the most direct cheers from the fans. The battle is about to begin.

After the start of the game, the Knicks launched a strict defense against Jamison. There is only one of the three musketeers left, and they will not pretend to be generous.

The Wizards are also working hard, and no one wants to be defeated casually in the playoffs.

Jamison even intends to play the whole game to make the team more competitive, but after being taken care of, his style of play is not suitable for attacking.

The Knicks won by 9 points in the first quarter. When the rotation came, the Knicks still had the upper hand. Even if Jamison stayed on the court, it didn't work. He shot a lot, and his shooting percentage was only [-]% under tight defense. The team wins.

The Knicks led by 15 points in the half quarter, and the gap between the two sides had reached 21 points by the end of the third quarter.

The Knicks' all-out effort is also a respect for the Wizards and the team. The Wizards were still unwilling to give up in the fourth quarter. In the last few minutes, the Knicks also used all the main players to fight them to the end.

107:82, such a big victory is not an exaggeration at all. Li Hai easily scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple double. Eddie Curry also scored 20 points in the paint, but only grabbed 3 rebounds.

In other games in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons killed the Nets without any suspense. The Cavaliers did not allow the Heat, who were both Wade and O'Neal, to come back and win their first victory.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the suspense is the duel between the Cavaliers and the Heat, the Raptors and the Bulls.

The Raptors and the Bulls seem to be relatively close in strength, but the Bulls have more experience in the playoffs, and the Heat's record this season is not ideal. The outside world generally believes that it is affected by injuries. There may be another king showdown with the Knicks.

As for the matchup in the Western Conference, because the top three teams have good records in the regular season and the personnel are well-organized, the outside world generally believes that there is no suspense in the three groups of Mavericks vs. Warriors, Suns vs. Lakers, and Spurs. The golden double guns are something to look forward to.

The game between the Rockets and the Jazz is the most suspenseful matchup.

It is normal for the Suns and Rockets to win the first game. It is not surprising that the Spurs failed in the first game. Iverson and Anthony have scored 30+. Overturned the car, but it makes people feel incomprehensible.

Li Hai had a sense of superiority in knowing the ending, and said to his teammates: "This is the end of underestimating the enemy. If the Mavericks don't realize the problem, they will fail in the first round, so the game has to be played one by one. We can't make mistakes. That kind of mistake."

"The Mavericks should have no problem in the first round, right? This round is just carelessness. Nowitzki's touch is too bad. If we have such a bad touch in the game against us, we can beat the Mavericks by 30 points." Someone said. I think Li Hai's words are alarmist.

"Do you want to bet? I said the Mavericks will give the black eight. Don Nelson knows the Mavericks too well. This game shows that the Mavericks are too dependent on Nowitzki. The Warriors' tactics are not afraid of the Mavericks."

Li Hai said clearly, but no one bet with him this time. They were eager for the Mavericks to come back. A few days ago, the Mavericks and their players kept saying that they wanted to take revenge on the Knicks. If they failed in the first round, it would be a joke.

And they don't have time to care too much about other people's affairs, and the second game of the playoffs will come soon.

In the second game, the Wizards obviously adjusted some tactics and did not allow Jamison to play so many singles. This decision was correct. Jamison's technical characteristics are really not suitable for strong play.

Just like last year, they let the substitutes increase their playing time. The Wizards' substitutes played really well this time, and they didn't let the Knicks take advantage. In the first half, the opponent still clung to the score.

During the intermission, the Knicks emphasized defense again. The Wizards are currently short of major generals. If they can't defend the opponent, there must be a problem with defensive execution.

It doesn't matter if Li Hai mobilizes his teammates to mark Jamison all over the court.

Sure enough, the Knicks players were dissatisfied. If the Wizards were well-organized, it would be no problem for Li Hai to mark Jamison, but now that the two core players are not there, the team core needs to be sacrificed, which shows their incompetence.

They immediately said that Li Hai could focus on the offense. The Knicks did the best defense in the third quarter. The Wizards only scored 15 points, and their score advantage expanded to 13 points.

In the fourth quarter, in order to counterattack, Jamison entered the mode of crazy shots again. Unfortunately, he is not Arenas, and the Wizards did not even see the hope of winning.

At 110:92, the Knicks made another big victory. Li Hai still played very easily with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The coach of the second game, except for the Raptors, the other teams in the East took a 2-0 lead. At this time, everyone realized that this year's Heat is really dead, not only because of O'Neal. Feeling old, Wade hasn't fully recovered from his injury by any means.

The western side returned to normal at all. Both the Spurs and the Mavericks won the second game. The Suns also easily led 2:0. Even Kobe did not have the madness of last year, which made the fans a little bit wrong, but the Rockets led 2:0. Yes, Yao Ming and McGrady showed a stable combat power.

Li Hai knew about another time-space result. After the two teams were 2-0, he called Yao Ming and chatted with Yao Ming about their opponents in the first round. He asked Yao Ming to be more cautious. The effect is unknown.

The victories of the Knicks and the Rockets also made the fans on the other side of the ocean feel like a festival. Soon there will be domestic players participating in the draft. The rise of Chinese basketball seems to be unstoppable. Of course, football is lying down for no reason, and the fans take turns. a handful.

"We will take every game seriously and try our best to win the game."

"Yes, we will defeat all opponents, but now we will only consider the opponents in front of us."

"The team needs more focus and we can do better."
