I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 204 Advancing to the Second Round

After 7 games, the Eagles defeated the Heat and entered the second round of the playoffs, and the Raptors also won the tiebreaker. Although the process was dangerous, the result was good.

The Raptors finally joined the Knicks in the second round.

Due to the situation in the first round of the West, the result was very fast. On April 4th, the Spurs played their first game against the Thunder at home.

The Spurs beat the Thunder 124:92.

Durant and Westbrook, who were specially taken care of by a defensive team like the Spurs, only scored 16 and 14 points respectively, and their shooting percentages were extremely low.

When the Thunder's scoring leader in this game is Ibaka with 19 points, it is difficult for the Thunder to win the game.

Instead, the Spurs' Aldridge scored 38 points, Leonard scored 27 points, and even the old Duncan scored 14 points.

In the second round of G1, the Spurs 1-0 the Thunder.

On May 5, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 1:118 in the Western Conference semifinals at home!

This game was more difficult, and we played until the last moment.

Lillard scored 30 points.

Curry scored 37 points and Thompson had 28.

On May 5, the second game between the Spurs and the Thunder started, and the first game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles also officially started.

The Cavaliers defeated the Eagles after a difficult promotion 104:93 without too many surprises.

In the West, although the rhythm of the game is in the hands of the Spurs, the Thunder won this time.

Although Aldridge scored 41 points and 8 rebounds, Leonard only scored 14 points.

For the Thunder, Durant and Westbrook scored 29 points each and 28 points each.

The Thunder got a victory at home from the Spurs in an extremely thrilling 98:97.

On May 5, the Warriors and the Trail Blazers played the second game.

The Warriors beat the Trail Blazers again 110:99.

On this day, the Knicks finally ushered in the first game of the second round of the playoffs.

The Knicks have an extra home advantage due to their slightly better record in the regular season.

The Madison Garden Arena in the first game of the second round was crowded with people.

Lowry and Jiang Mu have a good relationship, and DeRozan and Anthony are also very familiar. After the players enter the court, they greet each other, and then practice their hands separately to find the state of the game.

Since there are now only eight remaining teams and only one or two games per day at most, all live broadcasts and coverage are concentrated.

At this time, the game is not only broadcast live in the United States, but also has a huge regional scope in the world.

At this time, Jiang Mu's home became more concerned, because Jiang Mu's huge fan base wanted to witness step by step how a Chinese led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Finals, and even won the NBA championship.

Zhang Weiping: "Finally another of our players has reached the height of Yao Ming, and it seems that Jiang Mu can go further. When facing the Indiana Pacers in the first round, Jiang Mu's scoring average was changed The 26+ points in the game dropped to about 23 points. The team's scoring leader was Anthony, who averaged 25 points per game, but Jiang Mu averaged 13 assists per game, which was much higher than the regular season. This directly shows that the first round of the playoffs for the Knicks was relatively easy, and Jiang Mu did not appear to be doing his best."

O'Neill: "Dude Charles, who do you think will win the second-round series?"

Barkley: "Dude! I know what you mean! Alright! I think China Jiang's Knicks will win the second round! I know you will ask why, don't bother, I'll give you the answer , I will save you asking again and again! In my opinion, the New Yorkers have rested for many days, and the Toronto people are the last team to advance. They are exhausted after 7 games. In contrast, I It's hard to think the Raptors will win the second-round series!"

O'Neill: "Okay, Brother Charles! We all know the answer!"

Barkley: "Of course! I don't need your big mouth to ask!"

The Knicks are still the regular starters of Jiang Mu, Efflalo, Anthony, Porzingis and Lopez.

The Raptors are Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Ibaka and Valanciunas.

With a whistle, the game officially started.

Valanciunas successfully jumped the ball, Lowry took a deep breath after receiving the ball, and then advanced to the frontcourt.

Both sides want to win the first game.

The Knicks need to defend their home court. If the Raptors win away from home, this round of the series will have an extremely favorable advantage.

The Knicks are well aware of the strength of the Raptors, so the Knicks took out the best defensive attitude.

After running and passing the ball, Ibaka made a mid-range shot in his most familiar position when the offensive time was about to run out, but the start didn't seem to feel good, so the first ball was not shot.

Looking back, Porzingis was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to play high and small. He also made a three-pointer against DeRozan, but he missed it.

After a few rounds between you and me, the hit rate is a little bit horrible, and the goals in sports games are very rare.

It wasn't until Jiang Mu leaned against DeRozan and hit a fallback jumper that the Knicks' offense was turned on.

But the Raptors are slowly opening up at this time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks temporarily led by one point at 26:25.

Jiang Mu didn't play at the beginning of the second quarter. Although Calderon was old, he was still disciplined when he replaced Jiang Mu on the court to organize the offense.

And Calderon's advantages are obvious, as long as there is an open space, the hit rate can be guaranteed.

However, the Knicks' defense was far behind when Jiang Mu was on the court, especially Lowry's pouting breakthrough and DeRozan's delicate singles.

Jiang Mu, who played the entire first quarter, played again after only a 3-minute break.

Also playing was Galloway.

At the end of the first half, the two teams tied again, and the anxiety of the game was obvious.

O'Neill: "Charles, what do you think the big score in this round of the series will look like?"

Barkley: "I think the Knicks will eliminate the Raptors 4:2!"

O'Neill: "I think the Knicks will advance 4:1. Although the guesses on the score are different, it is rare that we all think that the Knicks will win!"

Barkley: "No no no! Of course I don't want to have the same opinion as you, but I can't open my eyes and tell nonsense. In terms of strength, the Knicks are indeed stronger than the Raptors! The two cores of the Raptors are Los Angeles. Rui and DeRozan, but they should not be able to take advantage of the Knicks Jiang Mu and Carmelo!"

Many people think like Barkley, but some people dare not agree.

in the live room.

Xu Jingyu: "Jiang Mu, as our player, of course I hope that he can grow bigger and better in the NBA, but the NBA is not an ordinary place. As a first-year student, it is really remarkable that Jiang Mu has done this, but it is only limited to this."

"Although the Knicks have performed well this season, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they rely too much on Jiang Mu. Once Jiang Mu leaves the field, the Knicks will definitely collapse!"
