Orlando, in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Magic relied on the outstanding performance of their group of outside three-point shooters to pull back tenaciously and reject the sweep.
But the Celtics still lead 3:1, holding a huge advantage. In the words of commentator Steve Kerr: "No matter what the results of the next few games are, the Celtics can think about it first."
It’s a round of opponents.”
"It's just that their opponents in the next round are still unclear after three games."
Then, the topic turned to the showdown between the Knicks and Cavaliers.
"When the Knicks won the first two away games, everyone opened their mouths wide and could even swallow a basketball directly. But now, the Cavaliers have won an away game and won without any suspense. It seems that everything is important again."
Back on track.”
Bill Simmons also began to support the Cavaliers after Game 3.
"One thing I have to admit is that the Cavaliers in the first two games were so disappointing. LeBron was suppressed by Lin. The whole team couldn't see the vitality. It didn't look like they were here to win."
"But in the third game, it was obvious that the Cavaliers adjusted. They knew how to defend Lin. Yes, just seek physical confrontation and continue to consume. Lin's physical fitness has always been a problem."
"LeBron finally showed his strength as the chosen one. He scored or assisted his teammates to score at every moment throughout the four quarters."
"This is the real Cleveland Cavaliers in our impression. They are back and it's time for the series to return to normal."
And Brian Windhorst, who has always been a Cavaliers die-hard.
In the first two games, this guy seemed to have disappeared and made no sound at all. After the third game, his column in the Cleveland Honesty News finally came back to print.
"In the first two games, we saw the bottom line of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the third game, we saw the tenacity of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They cheered up and are about to regain the initiative in the series..."
New Yorkers didn't expect that the Knicks only lost one game, and the media reporters and commentators couldn't wait to jump out and claim that the Cavaliers had regained control of the series.
But the problem is that the Knicks are still leading the series, and New York fans can only look like Nick Young.
Of course, there are also media reporters and ball commentators who support the Knicks, such as Stephen A. Smith.
But what they said was very simple. For example, Stephen A. Smith only made a brief judgment: "The Cleveland Cavaliers performed as they should and finally won a victory."
Then, he reminded everyone: "But please remember, now the Knicks are only one victory away from getting the match point, and the next game they will play at home."
There is also Mark Stein, who is also reminding everyone: "The Cleveland Cavaliers just defeated a Knicks team without the Forest Realm. They still have to be careful of the Forest Realm coming again."
As well as Lin Yu’s die-hard supporter Zach Lowe, he mentioned a piece of news that many people didn’t know well: “After the third game, Lin practiced shooting for three hours in Madison. Then, he told reporters,
Next game, he's going to kill the Cavaliers with a shot."
But the voices supporting the Knicks have gradually become smaller and have even been suppressed by those supporting the Cavaliers, which has made the already rebellious New York fans dissatisfied.
There are many ways to vent dissatisfaction for the New York fans, but the most convenient, quick and effective is to sit in the Madison Square Garden arena and boo the Cavaliers that this is the Knicks.
home ground!

In the Madison Square Garden Arena, boos were overwhelming. It was not until the Knicks came on the stage that the same cheers echoed throughout the world, ending the chaos.
"This is the scene of the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Knicks and the Cavaliers. Both teams have already appeared on the stage. Madison Square Garden seems to be much crazier than usual, and the cheers have not stopped until now..."
The commentary for this game is still the partnership of Magic Johnson and Reggie Miller.
They turned their attention to the center of the court. After a rather grand entrance ceremony, Lin Yu received the craziest and most enthusiastic cheers from the audience, mixed with screams and shouts, which seemed to express his desire to win the match point match.
Lin Yu waved his hand towards the sidelines, his face expressionless, but it triggered another wave of enthusiasm in the audience. It was so hot that it almost scalded everyone in the stadium.
Not far away, LeBron James showed a rather relaxed expression. It seemed that after winning the third game, his crisis was somewhat relieved.
At the same time, he seemed to believe that public opinion was optimistic about the Cavaliers.
Everything is back on track, isn't it?
"It's almost time, it's time to play, boys!"
The referee Scott Foster was already urging the starting lineups of the two teams to come on. Lin Yu quickly threw off his training jacket, and then hugged his teammates one by one.
When hugging Zach Randolph, Lin Yu whispered to Randolph: "Zach, when the game starts later, just give me a super-high cover."
"Super high cover? How high?"
"Did you see that logo? Just take a step inside."
Zach Randolph nodded doubtfully, he still believed in Lin Yu. After Lin Yu arrived, he tasted the long-lost taste of victory.
Now that I'm further and further into the playoffs, my whole mentality immediately changes.
Zach Randolph began to crave victory, began to like the feeling of being recognized now, and he was dissatisfied with the public opinion's negative view of the Knicks, and also wanted to slap those people in the face through the final victory.
Soon, there was a beep, the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown, and Kwame Brown once again won the jump ball.
Before halftime, Lin Yu took the basketball from Lowry. He paused for two seconds outside the midline, gave Randolph a look, and then quickly started.
Zach Randolph immediately stopped on top of the huge Knicks logo, suddenly turned sideways, and directly gave Lin Yu, who was sprinting at a high speed, a rung.
LeBron James, who wanted to defend, was without any suspense on the other side. He could only look at Lin Yu and use the cover to take another fierce step.
Finally, he jumped up and voted!
The whole court was filled with screams. Reggie Miller, who was still narrating the game in a low voice, immediately exclaimed: "Lin controlled the ball through half court and set a very high screen... Oh no! He directly
Voted!"
boom!
The basketball flying from a distance hit the interface between the backboard and the basket. After a loud noise, it bounced directly in.
"The ball went in! Oh my god! China Lin made a three-pointer at least two meters away from the three-point line and hit it directly!"
Amidst the huge cheers like a tide, Reggie Miller could only lament Lin Yu's madness.
"The game has just started, and China Lin made a crazy three-pointer from far away!"
"He seems to be announcing this game, and he has entered the forest realm again!"
But in fact, Lin Yu did not enter the so-called Lin's Domain, he just took out the three points that he should have had every day.
These three-pointers were only limited by the feel in the last game, or maybe they just haven't adapted to this body yet, so they weren't so accurate.
