Chapter 518: Easy start

The situation is still very happy. After the Knicks increased their intensity in the second half, the Raptors were a bit unable to withstand it.
Because of Lowry's steady performance in the third quarter, the Raptors barely kept up.
But they really couldn't stand it during the rotation period. In fact, there is still a difference between the game and the playoffs. Both sides did not let the main force play for that long, so the Knicks have the big advantage.
After the Knicks took the lead, the situation at the end of the quarter became very simple. The Knicks held three points and the Raptors could only let DeRozan take two points slowly.
The Knicks still hit a three-pointer, and the game's outcome is so determined.
The Knicks won the Raptors, the record went further, and the media were cheering.
Now the outside world is about to blow the Knicks faint, all the media are, fortunately, the Knicks are really strong enough.
As long as the strength is not so strong, the mentality of the players may go wrong.
It’s not equanimity to do mental construction, so he just ordered the coaching staff not to let the young people drift too far, and wait until they continue to defend the title successfully.
Anyway, they may be opponents in the summer, but a few players from the Knicks have received an invitation from the US team.
There are also invitations from other national teams. Anyway, when it comes to the Olympics, everyone might want to play a game.
The last battle of the Knicks is to play the Pacers. The Knicks have already adjusted their status for the playoffs. The main force will not play more and will let everyone go up and turn around.
The Pacers' situation is different. They have to fight for rankings and naturally go all out, because the Knicks in the playoffs are goodbye, so it is better to fight.
But the Knicks are not easy to deal with even if they play casually. The three-pointer and tough forward make the Pacers uncomfortable.
The Knicks hammered their opponents in the first half, and the Pacers gradually chased the points when the players who played in the second half were not so strong.
However, they lost a lot in front of them. It was only after the game was over that the score gap was chased to single digits. There is no chance to reverse the game.
Fortunately, the Pistons didn't live up to it, and the Pacers did not fall to eighth.
The last ranking in the Eastern Conference is the Knicks, Raptors, Heat, Eagles, Celtics, Hornets, Pacers and Pistons. On the Western side are the Warriors, Lakers, Thunder, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Mavericks and Grays. Bear.
The Rockets are sitting on the Twin Towers this season without making the playoffs, which is quite miserable.
On April 16, the playoffs began, and the season reached the hottest and final stage.
The Knicks' opponent in the first round was the Pistons, and the Pistons team entered the playoffs entirely by trade.
Earlier, I got Whiteside from the Knicks, then Reggie from the Thunder, this season I got Harris from the Magic, and Morris from the Suns. This is how the starting lineup was made.
This is also a good way, they finally entered the playoffs again, but the strength is not strong enough.
Facing the Knicks, they are really not good at playing. They naturally attacked the outside line at the start. This is also the old method of Van Gundy, which is very familiar when he played Magic.
It's just that the Knicks' perimeter is stronger, and although Harris, who was in the same class as Leonard, can also play with the ball, this buddy in the first playoffs was obviously completely suppressed by Leonard at the start.
The Knicks took the lead in the first quarter, but did not take advantage of the rotation period.
Van Gundy’s tactical shots and birdies sometimes work well, that is, when the players feel good, they soared some three-pointers, and even Morris pulled out in the second quarter and made consecutive hits. This is also the same as the Pistons in the first half. The reason behind the Knicks.
But in the third quarter, the Knicks blocked the three-point line more tightly, and the Pistons didn't know how to work around their offense, so they couldn't stand it.
With the same increase in strength, Curry was not affected much, and his three-pointer was incomparable to others.
At the end of the quarter, Curry and Leonard went wild at the same time and directly closed the game.
Van Gundy could not cause trouble to the Knicks with Howard at the beginning, but now only Whiteside can only bet on luck. Unfortunately, luck will not be there for the entire game. The Knicks easily won the first game.
Van Gundy was indignant after the game, thinking that the Knicks enjoyed the home whistle.
"There have been several penalties that made our players very frustrated. But they need to understand that it is the Knicks. They don't blow certain fouls from the Knicks. He can do what he wants. The players have to understand this."
"Generally speaking, it's fair. But in the first quarter, I think there were two obvious fouls. But for the entire game, these are just two penalties. The result of the game has nothing to do with the referee. Their whistles Very good, I think it is the players on the field that ultimately determine the game."
Qi Li said, "We won the game, it's that simple. Our players played better and the tactics executed better. If anyone disagrees, we will win the game again."
The referee wants to say that there are no mistakes and it is impossible, but Qi Li does not want to talk about this, anyway, the Pistons will also have a home court, and in the end, the stronger team will laugh last.
In other games in the East, the Eagles narrowly defeated the Celtics in their first start.
The strength of the two teams is really close, it really depends on the details.
Butler did not perform as well as he imagined. Stevens's situation can be seen. To be an excellent head coach, his team tactics are very good, but the star tactics are slightly inferior, Thomas and Bart. Le doesn't fit well, so they don't have this advantage against the Hawks.
In the Raptors and Pacers game, Lowry and DeRozan pulled their hips again, and the Pacers won the game.
The Pacers are the kind of team that will be tough in the playoffs. The Raptors are just the opposite.
The Hornets and the Heat, the Heat easily beat each other.
As the experienced Heat in the playoffs~EbookFREE.me~ it is obvious that they have shown their full strength at this time.
In the West, the Warriors also beat the Grizzlies. After a year, the two teams met again and changed a lot, and the Warriors became stronger.
Of course, little Gasol was injured and unable to play, which is also an important reason why the Grizzlies have no combat effectiveness.
The Lakers also underestimate the Mavericks. This season, Kobe has also been well raised during the regular season. He has maintained his health in the playoffs. With the improvement of the team's lineup, the Mavericks can't stand it.
The first game between the Thunder and the Spurs was an accident, because Westbrook was in a mess, and the Spurs succeeded in an upset with the overall offense.
The current Thunder does not have a four-position like Ibaka, which is why Love played well and helped the Spurs win.
The Clippers and the Blazers game, the Clippers also easily won the victory.
The trouble for the Clippers is actually Griffin's health. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Blazers' dual-gun mode is not stable inside and out.
Of course, luck will also be part of it.
