474 Eastern Conference Finals!
Du Hong missed his first free throw and was a little nervous for a while. At this time, Zhang Chen came up and gave him a high-five, and his heart finally calmed down.
"I couldn't hit the shot..." The Celtics players saw that Du Hong's first ball failed to hit the happy blossom, and immediately cursed Du Hong's next free throw.
However, the second time Du Hong let them down, he gently threw the ball, and the basketball flew into the basket! There are still six seconds left, and the Knicks are 2 points ahead of their opponents! The situation of the Knicks is still not optimistic.
If the Celtics hit a three-pointer next, the Knicks' cooked duck will fly away.
Du Hong was a little frustrated on the bench, because he couldn't make two free throws, but he couldn't be blamed at this time.
Now the Celtics still have two options. One is to play safely inside. If they can score two points steadily at this time, they can drag the game into overtime. If they choose a three-pointer, they may have to kill their opponents directly outside the three-point line. If they don't score, they will be lost. The possibility of losing victory.
Therefore, the Celtics' scoring judgment and the Knicks' judgment on them are crucial to affect the game and the end of the series. When the game restarts, the faces of the players on both sides are full of a kind of solemnity.
The ball is in the hands of the Celtics. After the whistle signaled that they could start serving, the Celtic players wanted to get a pass from their teammates, and the Knicks also desperately wanted to suppress these people who had no idea, so the players from both sides were in a mess.
Seeing that the service violation time was getting shorter and shorter, Pierce finally came to a place one step outside the three-point line and received a pass. Then he took a step in with the ball control and jumped high when there were 4 seconds left. It seemed that he directly made a jump shot! It seems that the Celtics finally chose to bet on their fate with a three-pointer, and the fans could only watch the ball in a daze and pray that the ball could enter the basket.
However, at the moment Pierce jumped up, Zhang Chen instinctively felt that something was wrong, yes, no!
The time is a little wrong, not to mention that they are a calm team, and it is impossible to choose such a gamble at this time! Zhang Chen quickly glanced at the inside line and saw Garnett half squatting in the inside line - his front was basically unguarded.
"You can't succeed! ..." Zhang Chen drove his speed to the maximum at this moment, and he squeezed into the inside line in an instant. Sure enough, Pierce was just a fake jump shot. His next move was to pass the ball to Garnett. He hung his hands. He thought it had attracted the attention of all the Knicks at this time, but He passed the ball to Garnett. However, at the moment when the basketball was just passed out, a blue figure suddenly jumped up on the inside line... "It's over..." Pierce and Garnett thought so in their hearts. The next second, Zhang Chen had snatched the basketball from the sky. He was completely a strange soldier, in a short time. A rescue was completed in an instant! There are still the last 3 seconds left. Zhang Chen held the basketball in his hand tightly. No matter who came up, he couldn't move. The game time was exhausted by him!
! The whistle sounded, and the game finally settled. The Knicks defeated the Celtics by a narrow advantage of 2 points on the road. Pierce and Garnett looked pale, as if they had aged several years in a few seconds. Zhang Chen still held the basketball on his chest and let the basketball feel his chest drama. It beats violently.
"Win the game..." D'Antoni exhaled a long breath. The last ball was too thrilling. If Zhang Chen hadn't found out, they might have been dragged into overtime now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering.
Zhang Chen's current score is 3:1, and the Celtics have basically lost the hope of winning.
Several old Celtic men now look at each other and can see the helplessness in each other's eyes. Everyone seems to be dozens of years old at the same time, and then push out the court, leaving only a group of gray backs.
Zhang Chen glanced at the backs of these people and felt a little sad, but this was competitive sports, and there was no sympathy at all, so he had to put away his senseless feelings and walked into his locker room.
In the whole game, Zhang Chen scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. This data is quite good. Zhang Chen's scoring situation is getting more and more balanced. In the playoffs, he can still maintain his miracle of an average triple-double.
In the next game, the Celtics have gone and have no value of fighting at all. However, they still chose to fight to the end and maintain their dignity. Therefore, the two teams launched a crazy battle. In the fifth game in Madison Garden, the Celtics used their own strength. The indestructible momentum defeated the Knicks, dragging the game to the sixth game, and the game returned to the Celtics' home court.
They used all their strength and finally maintained their final dignity. Seeing that the Knicks were dragged to the sixth game, the Celtics also raised a hope again - the next game will be at their home court! Maybe there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.
However, Zhang Chen didn't give them such a chance. In this game, he cut off a huge triple-double of 41 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. The Knicks also smashed all the resistance of the Celtics with a strong score difference of 18 points and shattered all the wishes they had in their hearts. Straight to the Eastern Conference Finals!
After many years, the Knicks finally set foot on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals again! This time their opponent is the Magic team. They basically don't pay too much attention to this team - if they take such a difficult Celtics, are they still afraid of a magic? Moreover, many people are also preparing for revenge, because last year, the Magic humiliated the Knicks with a score of 4:1.
The day of the Western Conference Finals is getting closer and closer, and the Knicks have also embarked on the journey of the final battle.
The people of the Magic team don't have much confidence in this game, but Howard is quite confident. He thinks it should be okay for his team to work hard to beat the Knicks. Unfortunately, he is the only one in their whole team who has this strange and inexplicable confidence.
The two teams soon collided in Madison Garden. The Magic played this game. The Lakers' abacus was that they were now dragged into the Western Conference finals, so although they knew that the Magic would be defeated by the Knicks sooner or later. Killed, what can be prayed now is that the Knicks were delayed by the Magic for a few more games.
As a result, after the first game, the performance of the Magic team surprised everyone. Many loyal fans of the Magic team cried bitterly after seeing the performance of the Magic team in the first game. In the end, they didn't know what they should say, and the Knicks' performance in this game also made people Look at each other with new eyes.
The process of the game is like this - at the beginning of the game, although most of the Magic knew that they were about to die, they were still playing with all their strength, especially Howard, who was blindly confident that they could beat the Knicks.
However, Zhang Chen used 12 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in the first quarter to completely disintegrate the Magic's defense with data that could not even be obtained in a game. Zhang Chen also covered Howard's big hat. At the end of the first quarter, the Magic had fallen behind the panicked nine. Points. The second quarter continued to start. David Lee, who did not perform well in the first quarter, was mixed in the substitute lineup. The real substitute team with the Knicks was on the basketball court and quickly opened the score, widening the score gap to double digits.
At this time, the magic team was also a little panicked. They quickly began to launch a counterattack in the second half of the second quarter, but Zhang Chen stretched out his hands and used his strong playing style to make the magic team's idea of overtaking the game again. He raised his data to 19 at the end of the first half. With 7 rebounds and 8 assists, this data was obtained only by half-time. In front of this data, the Magic's offense and defense began to collapse. At the end of the first half, they were 16 points behind the Knicks.
In fact, the Magic team is also a strong team, but now it is caught off guard by the Knicks. The opening of the Knicks is a direct attack and big blow to the opponent's crazy attack and defense. Such an attack and defense make the Knicks unable to react at all, and can only look at Ni in vain. There are more and more points in the box. Every time the Magic team wants to bring back their luck, it is a pity that Zhang Chen will appear with a blank face at this time. He often uses his accurate and unparalleled block to make people completely lose the courage to resist, plus the direct steals and assists he uses from time to time - every time the Magic team The counterattack was almost blocked by Zhang Chen, so by the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had led the jaw-dropping 21 points!
After defeating the Celtics, the Knicks' luck has reached their peak state. Zhang Chen's attack and defense have also turned the Knicks' inside line into an impenetrable wall. The Knicks are too strong, and Zhang Chen is even stronger. After defeating the Celtics, they also got enough training, so in the face of a team like the Magic, they have more and more ways to deal with the other team, making the Magic team completely unresponsive.
In the last quarter, Howard was quite annoyed. He was ready to get the score back with his strength. However, Zhang Chen did not give him such a chance at all. Zhang Chen used blocks and steals to destroy their attacks again and again, and Zhang Chen's own offensive magic. The team can't be destroyed at all... In this way, there is nothing we can do against the Knicks Magic.
On this day, all the players of the Magic team, their coaches were about to cry, because they were abused too miserably, too miserable... It's like Emperor Yongzheng abolished the slash because a prisoner still wrote seven tragic words on the ground a few minutes after being cut off. Now the Magic team also wants to be in the Knicks. Write down seven tragic words in the middle of the home court!
The Magic team has only one way to disarm and surrender in front of the Knicks, but the Knicks did not let them go easily - the Knicks wanted to defeat their opponents at this time and completely destroy the Magic's momentum, so in the first game, they did not leave any thoughts for the Magics at all, just Snuck it to death! It's better to beat the Magic team so that they can't raise their morale at all. They can only grow their mouths and can't speak in front of the Knicks!
Therefore, Zhang Chen and others still exerted their strength in the last quarter. Their offensive and defensive means were endless. Zhang Chen himself also used all his strength. In front of such Knicks, the opponent could not defeat the Knicks at all.
At the end of the first game, what was left to the world was a super massacre between the Knicks and the Magic. At the end of the game, the score of the two sides was 125: 101, and the Knicks directly beat their opponents by 24 points and entered the second game.
In this game that made all the audience feel devastated, Zhang Chen alone scored a super triple-double with 37 points, 14 assists, 15 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 blocks. This data is shocking. Such a strong force makes people feel that they are about to suffocate.
The Knicks did get the effect they wanted. After such a life-and-death battle, the Magic's morale was completely depressed. The Knicks bullied people too much. They were quite annoyed, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no way to defeat the Knicks, so there was such a bad name. In the ring, the situation of the Magic is getting worse and worse.
In the second game at home, the Magic team was a little depressed. In front of the Knicks, the Magic team had to swallow another bad failure. In this game, the Knicks did not leave much face for the Magic team, but just left them a fig leaf. The whole game The final score was 111:95, and the Knicks led the opponent by 16 points. The score of this series became 2-0, and the Knicks led by two wins.
The third game is the life-and-death battle of the Magic Team. In each series, when a team is about to win three games, I always tirelessly say that this means that a life-and-death battle is about to begin. Yes, the next Magic team has faced a life-and-death battle. If they can't beat the Knicks in this game, they will lose the hope of turning over! - The team that is 3-0 behind, they need to defeat their opponents four games in a row to win, but the previous team that beats them 3:0 Do you win one of the next four games?
This is the mystery of the match point.
The third game is the Magic's life-and-death battle. They are going to launch a final charge against the Knicks. The game is held in Orlando. More than 10,000 nearly 20,000 fans came to watch the game at home. Although the team is currently 2-0 behind, they also hope that the Magic can win the third game.
Of course, even if this is the playoffs, it is difficult for them to prevent some Zhang Chen fans from entering. These people spontaneously gathered in a small corner and stood in a small corner to watch the players from both sides enter.
Zhang Chen and others are also under some pressure in this game. They want to defeat the Magic team and enter the final battle as soon as possible! The feeling of defeating the opponent in the finals is everyone's favorite, and everyone is rubbing their hands for that final goal.
Therefore, it would be better for them to fight quickly in this game, but when they saw that the Magic team was full of a tragic morale today, Zhang Chen felt that this matter should not be done like that, so he discussed with De Anthony and confirmed their tactics today.
When the Knicks stood in the court, the boos on the side of the basketball court were getting louder and louder. The away game of the playoffs was much more difficult than the away game of the regular season. At this time, the Knicks were also a little uncomfortable with the boos of more than 10,000 spectators in the audience, but this is a game, and they can't tolerate any mistakes, so They almost adjusted themselves and waited for the start of the game.
At the beginning of the game, today's Howard and others have a tragic atmosphere that is about to transform into a must-win place for mourners. They are afraid of death. The current situation of the magic team is not crazy, so their combat effectiveness is getting better and better in a kind of anger. If the Knicks fight hard with their opponents. Words are not a good choice.
The first quarter of the game begins! All the fans in the game are cheering for their team, and more than 200 million people watched the game around the world. Most of them hope that the Knicks can simply get rid of their opponents.
However, to everyone's surprise, today's Knicks completely lost the unprecedented fighting power of the first two games in the first quarter. The current Knicks' combat effectiveness seems to be a strong team, but it is just the level of an ordinary strong team, which makes people feel that it is compared with the previous games. The Knicks are a bit disappointing.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Knicks is much lower is definitely good news for the Magic. Taking advantage of your illness, the Magic launched a crazy attack on the Knicks in the first quarter, attacking again and again, defending beautifully again and again. Under such a blow, the Knicks did not last long.
However, the Magic team felt as if they had been scoring goals, and the opponent had almost no goals, but at the end of the first quarter, the score of the Knicks and the Magic was only 27:23, and the Knicks were only four points behind. This is a little different from what they imagined.
It shouldn't be ahead of such a little score, right? However, the doubts of several people of the Magic team soon gradually dissipated in the cheers of the audience, and they were soon happy - after all, this is the first time they have taken the lead in this series... And on the side of the Knicks, everyone is not much frustrated, as if they lost the first quarter. They have no influence.
And Zhang Chen's data may be more or less related to uncovering the doubts of the Magic team - Zhang Chen's score in the first quarter was 2 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds.
