Chapter 524: Again

Back at home, Lowry and DeRozan finally became strong, scoring consecutively at the beginning of the game.
Qi Li also smiled at the corner of his mouth. This is what he wants in the Eastern Conference Finals. If the opponent is too weak, the players who enter the Finals may be a little uncomfortable. After all, which two teams in the Western Conference should not be underestimated.
The opposing team played very well and the Knicks were not bad. Although Curry didn't have a good start, Klay and Leonard were both very normal, and the two teams played hard to distinguish.
After Antetokounmpo came up, he continued to fight fiercely with the opponent, and the Raptors' rotation returned to the home court and survived. Both Patterson and Joseph felt hot.
Relying on the strong outbreak of the whole team, the Raptors may finally take the lead in the first half, and the home audience was extremely excited. The first two games almost made them lose hope, but fortunately, the Raptors returned to the home court and resurrected.
During the intermission, the Raptors were extremely excited. Coach Casey poured chicken soup. He hoped that the team would become a miracle player. The Knicks always win, and there are always times when they lose. Why not? It's them.
During the intermission, Qi Li did not say much, but carefully analyzed the situation in the first half.
It's just that, many Knicks players lower their heads and think they haven't done a good job.
"Gentlemen, we have faced similar situations many times, and now it is no different." Qi Li said with confidence.
After all, the Raptors are not leading, and the opponent is excited just because this is a big difference from the previous one. It is too early for the Raptors to say that they are stable. The Knicks can play normally in the second half.
In the third quarter, DeRozan continued to play. His CIC today felt very good, but Lowry didn't feel so good anymore, and Lowry was not frustrated. He focused all his energy on limiting Curry.
Curry feels bad this time, but it doesn't matter. He can stay threatening, and occasionally hitting one or two feet can cause pressure on the Raptors. Anyway, Clay and Leonard are fine.
In fact, in the third quarter, except for DeRozan, the other Raptors players were suppressed.
They gradually gained the advantage and overtook the game in the third quarter.
Coach Casey became anxious on the court, and now he reacted. They only led by a few points in the first half. For the Knicks, this gap is nothing at all.
And now, they want to attack like the first half and can no longer play.
One aspect of the Knicks' defense is more targeted, and the players feel not so good.
The front is a last-minute decisive battle. At the intermission, they felt that they had a chance and their mentality changed.
In the last quarter, the Raptors, who are really useless without rising, also forcefully continued a wave.
Lowry finally came to feel that, in the last few minutes, consecutive hits helped the Raptors catch up with the score, and the defense of Curry is still very good.
It is a pity that DeRozan is not working anymore at this time, and sometimes I wonder if the two of them are incompatible.
At the crucial moment, Qi Li once again let Antetokounmpo return to the court. This time it was Gobert. The Knicks played a relatively small lineup. Of course, the height of Antetokounmpo is not low compared to the position of the players. .
This lineup can be safely guarded, and it is really stable at the last moment.
Antetokounmpo scored 5 points after coming up, which helped the team win the final victory.
Coach Casey couldn’t calm down after the game. He said:
We didn’t get some free throws that we deserved.

But he also said: "They taught us hard, we have sunk to the bottom. We really have bottomed out. We could have done something at home, but obviously we didn't do a good job, but the series is not over. "
Qi Li also praised his opponent this time, "They are very hardworking, I like this fighting spirit."
"But we were not far behind. We didn't play the style we should have at the beginning of the game, but we quickly adjusted it. The players knew what to do, so we won the game in the end."
"The next game, we will continue to show the determination of the team, we will always move forward."
The Lakers in the West finally relied on their tough defense to contain the Warriors' offense, and then they played good star basketball. James, Kobe and Drummond all showed their performance.
There are also three-pointers from role players. The Lakers played the basketball they wanted this time, and their series became 1:2.
The opponent felt that he would play for a long time, and Qi Li felt a little refreshed, and it was really comfortable to wait for work.
Of course, first of all, they have to completely eliminate the Raptors, which is not uncomfortable for the Knicks, provided they don't make any mistakes.
The Raptors had a good start to their second home game. This time, it was not that a certain star played well, but the team played well as a whole, and they passed the ball very smoothly.
Of course, the Knicks team also performed well, Curry, Leonard and Ibaka scored to keep up with their opponents.
It's just that the Knicks' bench performance was not so good, and the Raptors still played very well.
The Raptors also have good players on the bench, and the Knicks should not take it lightly.
In the second quarter, the Knicks began to play the planet, hoping to turn the score over.
Curry and Leonard also performed well, but Lowry also exploded on the Raptors' side. Lowry was also very fierce when he exploded. The combination of shooting and passing was very good, and even three-pointers were better than Curry.
The Raptors once again gained a lead in the first half, although they were single-digit leads, but this time they were a few points ahead of the game.
They were not too optimistic this time, suffocating to win the game.
However, there is a real gap between ideals and reality. The Knicks performed a strong kill in the third quarter.
Even when Lowry and DeRozan performed well, Curry broke out and forced overtaking.
Klay, Leonard and Gobert also followed suit. They hit three-pointers one by one, and the score was really overtaken. The hearts of the Raptors players and fans were chilled.
It's not that they are careless ~EbookFREE.me~ but they really can't do it. It feels very bad.
During the rotation period, Antetokounmpo also got up, and Jeremy Lin and Joditch also performed well.
Watching the Knicks forcefully expand their lead, the Raptors players collapsed.
You can't win at all. Wouldn't it be better to end home early and hide in the quilt?
In the final quarter, the game can't stop at all.
Leonard and Antetokounmpo took turns to kill, the Raptors could not stop it, and they were finally swept by the Knicks.
The Raptors retired sadly, and the Knicks won the Eastern Conference once again.
Qi Li was also very happy and expressed his respect for the Raptors and Coach Casey in the interview.
For the Eastern Conference championship every year since coaching, he also expressed his gratitude to the players and fans.
Finally he said: "The finals, we are here again."
