The Knicks got an unexpected, easy victory, and New York, which is less than 1,000 kilometers away from Detroit, was completely crazy.
"The Knicks' last playoff experience dates back to the 2003/04 season, and their last playoff victory experience even dates back to the 2000/01 season!"
Behind the Fox Sports female reporter is Madison Square Garden, which is bustling with people despite no game being held.
In this playoff, although the Knicks were on the road, James Dolan took advantage of his status as the owner of Madison Square Garden to cancel a concert and instead held a concert without a live game but with a live broadcast.
Game viewing party.
Fans with Knicks season tickets can enter, and tickets are sold outside. Of course, those who don't buy tickets can also watch the game on the square outside the arena and watch the big screen outside the arena.
With the Knicks leading the way on the road and easily winning, the entire Madison went crazy.
After three seasons of playoff journey and first playoff win in six seasons, everyone is shouting Lin Yu's name.
"Lin Yu, who has just joined the Knicks for half a season, has brought the Knicks a single victory in the playoffs after six seasons. In terms of leading the team to win, he no longer needs to prove anything..."
The microphone was pointed at a crazy Knicks fan in the crowd——
"I have known for a long time that Lin can bring us success. He is the best player in the league. Thank you Danny Ferry for sending Lin to New York!"
Then there was a hot female fan wearing a bikini with a mobile phone stuffed in the middle of the bikini——
"I hope the league can award the best manager to Danny Ferry, because he is the best manager of the Knicks!"
And another fat Knicks fan——
"The small city of Cleveland does not deserve Lin. He is destined to belong to the big stage of New York!"
It sounds like after a victory, the New York fans' sense of superiority has reached its peak, and they are taunting the villagers from the perspective of a winner.
But the problem is, the Cavaliers are not the losers at this moment.
…
The madness in New York is not surprising. The Knicks have been so bad in the past few seasons, so bad that they have everything they want and nothing they don't.
Why did Lin Yu suddenly appear, like a god descending from the earth, taking the Knicks, who were still at the bottom in the first half of the season, to a winning streak and leading them into the playoffs, and then defeated the Eastern Conference in the past few seasons in the first game of the playoffs?
One of the most powerful Pistons.
The playoff journey after three seasons, the victory of a single game in the playoffs after six seasons, and the seemingly promising playoff series victory...
But in the next day's game, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Raptors and did not lose.
However, Fox Sports also broadcast the triumphant shouts of the New York fans. Just like that, the Knicks and Cavaliers, opponents who only had the chance to meet in the second round, actually fought each other in the first round of the playoffs.
War of words between fans.
“New Yorkers who don’t know where the sky is from the sky just after winning a playoff game!”
"I hope the Knicks can beat the Pistons. In that case, we will have the opportunity to tell those fans in big cities who is the real ruler of the NBA!"
"Come on, LeBron, first kill the Canadian team in front of you, then go to the second round and kill that traitor Lin!"
"..."
In the first round of the playoffs, in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic all won as expected, and the Knicks were the only team to beat them.
In the Western Conference, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets, led by the Golden Double Gun, and Kobe is completing his most successful season leading the team so far.
The Hornets also successfully defeated the Mavericks at home. Just as many media predicted before the playoffs, the Mavericks are becoming more and more like a pseudo-powerful team.
The Jazz's defeat of the Rockets can be regarded as a victory over the Western Conference group. Although the Jazz are ranked higher, the Rockets have a better record, so the first game of the playoffs will be held at the Rockets' home court.
Facing the Jazz, whose overall lineup and tactics were formed and led by the new Shuangsha, the Rockets lost the first game without much resistance.
Finally, it is the showdown between the Spurs and the Suns. The Suns traded for the Sharks and they have completely defeated themselves. They can't run and attack, and they can't attack with ordinary positional offenses.
As a result, the Spurs easily defeated their old rivals and successfully won.
Lin Yu prefers to pay attention to his opponents' playoff journey. When he saw the Rockets losing, he paid special attention to the expiration date of Yao's contract. The big contract that only expired in 11 years made Lin Yu stop thinking about joining forces.
, it is true that in 2011 Yao has not been injured or sick, I am afraid his first choice is to stay with the Rockets forever.
It is impossible for Lin Yu to go to the Rockets. If he leaves New York, he may choose to be his own boss and build a team that is completely his own...
Regarding the Spurs and Suns, Lin Yu saw the possibility of summer signings. He focused on Shaq, who had experienced half a failed season in the Suns. However, with the Knicks' current bargaining chip, it would be quite difficult to trade for Shaq.
I can bet on the sun and want to stop my losses.
All the first games of the first round of the playoffs have been played, and the media has a preliminary result in their predictions for the first round of the playoffs.
Regarding predictions, Lin Yu only focuses on his own team.
There is no doubt that the predictions of most media reporters, experts and football commentators have overturned on the Knicks.
The first game was an away game. The Knicks won, and it was an easy victory. It seemed that the Knicks were very likely to win the first round of the playoffs and advance to the second round.
Many expert reporters and ball commentators have changed their predictions, but there are also a large number of experts who stubbornly believe that the Pistons will quickly cheer up and regain the home court advantage.
But soon, the second game of the playoffs began with a lot of noise.
The second game of the first round of the playoffs for the Knicks was surrounded by heated discussions in the media about the outcome, the battle of public opinions between New Yorkers and Clevelanders, and the players and coaches of the two teams, who deliberately ignored the media.
of provocation.
Everything seems very strange.
But amid this strangeness, when the game started, the process and ending were even more surprising.
The Knicks once again had an early advantage at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and Lin Yu was still a ubiquitous defender, almost blocking all of the Pistons' outside attacks by himself.
Billups, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince were playing hard, but Rasheed Wallace, after being blown away by Zach Randolph in the last game, was in this game.
The game is back.
However, victory in the paint cannot bring the Pistons a complete victory.
In the end, the Knicks won the second game of the series 105:97 on the road, with a difference of 8 points, and the Pistons also lost all two home court advantages.
It seems that, at this point, the situation in the playoffs is already very clear.
"In the second game of the first round of the playoffs, China Lin scored another 33 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He continued to dominate both offense and defense of the game!"
On the other side, Rasheed Wallace scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, defeating Zach Randolph who had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
In the last game, their statistics were: 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 27 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal.
Taken together, Tianzun and Randolph competed against each other in the two games.
This also seems to illustrate from the side: In the Knicks, it is still Lin Yu who leads the team to victory stably.
