This Forward is Not Serious

...

106 to 93.

The Nets have another victory at home.

Although Delong still failed to regain his form, Lin Ying scored 47 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and won the game by himself.

And it is worth mentioning that among these 47 points, 20 points were obtained in the penalty area.

The Cavaliers had Hawes and Josh Smith for the most part tonight.

He is telling Kidd with practical actions that it is impossible to do so.

After two games, although the process is more thrilling, but the big score of 2 to 0, the Nets' promotion situation is still optimistic.

At the same time, the performance of the Knicks next door was also very bright. .

In G1 against the Pacers, the Knicks played a crushing game.

They only allowed the Pacers to score 36 points in the half, while they scored 60 points, and made a 24-point halftime lead.

In the third quarter, they made persistent efforts to further expand the point difference to more than 30 points, ending the game ahead of schedule.

This game gave the outside world a new assessment of the strength of the Knicks.

Before, many people considered his strength to be S+, but now, at least it is SS level.

Because no matter from the horizontal comparison, the Pacers showed excellent strength in the series against the Celtics, but they were so vulnerable in front of the Knicks;

In a vertical comparison, it was not so easy for the Nets to win the Pacers last year, but the overall strength of the Pacers this year is obviously stronger.

The Knicks have shown the dominance of a superteam.

"They're going to be this year's champions."

Even Maddie gave a very positive answer in the commentary.

And when he said this, he was also a little emotional.

After all, he didn't win the championship with the Knicks last year. If the Knicks won the championship as soon as he retired, it would be really delusional, and he couldn't explain it.

Another very interesting thing is that some fans noticed that James still did not shave!

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked James again about the beard.

Then James gave another unassailable answer. "It feels great to have a beard, I feel more energetic than before, and I will keep it."

Clap, what is the perfect answer!

I said that I forgot to shave just to show that I am not following the trend, and now I still have a beard because I found that it is good to have a beard.

So, don't shave the beard! And it's not because of following Nowitzki and Chandler!

Lin Ying was also a little happy when he saw the news.

It's really black and white, good and bad, let's finish talking.

But this also makes people curious. If the Knicks win the championship this year, the beard will be popular in the future, but if the Knicks do not win the championship, then James is really the second most embarrassing person in the 21st century.

Why not first? The first one turned into a "Blowing West" in the commentary seat this year!

...

The Nets headed to Cleveland with a 2-0 scoreline, but they faced stiff resistance in Game 1 in Cleveland.

Josh Smith had a blast in this game, scoring 23 points on 4-for-6 shooting from beyond the arc.

His score is not the most deadly, the most deadly is that this outside touch makes the Nets dare not shrink the help defense, which also allows Harden to have the most space to play.

The Cavaliers finally beat the Nets 116 to 106 to regain a city at home, rewriting the big score to 1 to 2.

At the same time, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 99-87, leading 2-0.

This result seems to be yet another validation that team basketball doesn't work in the playoffs.

And compared to the performance of the Nets against the Cavaliers, Knicks fans are more and more convinced that they can beat the Nets this season and regain the championship.

...

Ten days later, the semi-finals of the East and West divisions were all over.

Looking at the West side first, the game between the Lakers and the Thunder ended faster than expected.

The Lakers' double guns are still fierce, including Kobe Bryant's better performance than the regular season in the playoffs.

But their interior performance is very slow.

The combination of Big Gasol + Jordan Hill is D'Antoni's royal combination, but let alone positional warfare, in the Thunder's quick counterattack, they are like snails.

The performance of the Thunder team was very shocking, and the performance of the suppression level was eye-catching.

The score of 4 to 1 also gave fans absolute reasons to believe that they could reach this year's finals.

Thunder stocks soared, and a finals matchup between the Texas Twins became more and more likely.

In contrast, the Spurs and Mavericks series played much more intense.

The two teams played seven games, and with Parker's 30+ in the tiebreaker, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Mavericks.

In this way, the conference final matchup on this side of the West will be between the Thunder and the Spurs.

This is a big change from last season.

The two superteams, the Lakers and Mavericks, failed to reach the conference finals this season.

Then there is the east side.

The Nets eventually defeated the Cavaliers 4-1.

Originally, the Cavaliers had a good chance of playing in G3, including G4. Smith also made a three-pointer in the opening game, but the Cavaliers' double guns were blocked, and they only scored 30 points in total.

Although this seems understandable.

After all, such a young group has played stably for three games, and it seems abnormal if there are no ups and downs.

And after losing G4, the Cavaliers' spirit seemed to be lost.

The home court of the G5 Nets, the Nets took the initiative at the beginning and led all the way to the end.

The big score of 4 to 1 looked very easy, but after watching the game, I realized that they caused a lot of threats to the Nets, and even had a chance to win the series for a time.

So the saying that data will lie is not only reflected in the players, but also in the team.

The Knicks beat the Pacers 4-2.

Despite taking a 2-0 lead, the Pacers showed their game tenacity.

And in addition to toughness, Paul George's performance is also very bright.

In the crucial G3, George scored 30 points on 11 of 15 shots and helped the team win their first victory.

In G5, he and James started the matchup mode, scoring 37 points on 15 of 28 shots, setting a new career high and leading the team to victory.

Like the Cavaliers next door, George's growth has left the Pacers' ceiling with infinite possibilities.

The match between the East and the West was determined, and the outside world also began to predict the result of the game.

On the west side, the Thunder are the obvious favorites.

They showed a lot of competitiveness against the Lakers, and the Spurs have been bumpy all the way through the playoffs by comparison.

On the East side, the Knicks are obviously more optimistic.

The Knicks used a season plus two series before proving that their biggest problem last season was the coaching problem.

Riley's behavior of "picking peaches" was criticized by fans, but the premise of picking peaches is to have this ability.

Otherwise, it's "it's useless to give you a chance".

...

Finally got to face the Knicks again!

Although it is not favored by the outside world, it may be unbelievable to say it. When it was really determined to play the Knicks, the Nets players all became very excited.

It's kind of hard to explain, but it does.

Like all of your foreplay, it's for that last shot.

Foreplay can be long or short, good or bad, but the moment you enter it must be exciting.

During the training, the players were more excited than each other. Even Delong, who had never been able to find his state before, seemed to be alive all of a sudden.

Although practice and games are not the same thing, this is clearly a positive sign for the Nets.

After the training, Lin Ying accompanied Delong for treatment in the infirmary.

Under the guidance of Livingston, Deron's mentality is also much better than before.

While chatting, his phone vibrated, and it was Durant's call.

"Lin, don't be eliminated this time!"

As soon as Lin Ying answered the phone outside, Durant's excited voice came.

He heard it right away, this guy thinks the thunder is stable!

It is also understandable that the Thunder have been suppressed by two super teams in the West in the past two years, especially the Lakers.

It's so easy to pass the Lakers this year. If the psychology doesn't expand, there will be ghosts.

"Kevin, don't blame me for not reminding you, the Spurs are much stronger than you think."

Lin Ying said something from his heart.

Looking at it with the eyes of the sky, the Spurs are the championship this year in history.

Although many things have changed because of his butterfly effect, Thunder is also much stronger than at the same time.

But this year's Spurs are very different, because they are one of those rare team play.

In general championship-level teams, the performance of core players is critical and easy to target.

But like the Spurs, you can't target them well, and you don't know what's going to happen.

After all, Danny Green can give you 7-of-10 3-pointers the whole game.

"I know, don't worry, I will definitely make it to the finals this year."

But Durant didn't care what Lin Ying said.

After all, many times a sentence that you deeply feel may be no different from a string of numbers in the ears of others.

"There is a price to pay for despising your opponent, Kevin."

However, Lin Ying couldn't help but remind him one more thing.

After all, if possible, he still wants to fight Durant in the Finals.

"I know, don't lose to that guy LeBron, okay, Russell invited me to his house tonight, let's not talk."

Durant hung up the phone.

Lin Ying stared at the phone for a while, then shook his head.

No matter how many things have happened to Durant, he can't take care of it. The key now is that he has to pass the Knicks first.

Although the morale and state of the team seem to be good now, the Knicks are really not that easy to deal with.

...

Madison Square Garden, like the Nets, the Knicks were excited.

Especially the bearded James, who seems to have really become the British emperor.

During training, he dunked and abused the frame, venting his excitement to the fullest.

He just wants to start the game early now and then beat the Nets hard.

It doesn't matter what conflicts he has with Chandler and Claude, the most important thing is his status.

He needs such a victory to regain lost ground.

This season, the guys at TNT have named Lin Ying the new first player in the league.

That should have belonged to him.

After the practice, Riley also pulled the Knicks players to give a rare speech.

"You guys are the most talented team I've ever coached, and I've always believed that you can do it, the Avengers at Christmas was just a joke, but this time, I want you to be the real Avengers, go from the name of the team Take back what should belong to you."

Riley isn't good at chicken soup, but he doesn't need to be good at many things. As long as he can tell his heart, it is more useful than anything.

After finishing speaking, Riley took James and chatted alone for a while.

"I got some news and they said you're going to be the MVP this season."

Riley is here to announce the good news to James.

The annual MVP selection is generally determined before the conference finals, and this year is no exception.

With a level like Riley, it is not surprising to know this result in advance.

James' face was excited when he heard it, but he quickly hid it.

Riley smiled when he saw it, then reached out and patted James on the shoulder,

"I know you've always been the best."

The two chatted for a while.

After James left, Riley, who had been smiling all the time, took a long breath, and then looked at James' back thoughtfully.

He does have connections, and he got the selection results in advance.

But that result was not James.

And he said that in advance because he wanted James to be full of anger in the game.

Avengers, if there is no anger in their hearts, how can they be called avengers!

...

Before the start of the division finals, the league announced the third batch of the season, and it is also the award that fans are most concerned about: the regular season MVP.

It was Lin Ying who finally got the MVP award.

Lin Ying won the season's scoring title and led the Nets to the second-best record in the league.

He won 45 percent of the vote overall, more than James (24 percent) and Durant (20 percent) combined.

This result immediately caused a huge controversy.

"Last year LeBron's numbers were better, you say records; this year the Knicks have better records, you say numbers?"

"It's really enough, Stern is licking Lin to death now, and LeBron will never get fair treatment!"

"It's a good result, I can't wait to see how the Knicks beat the Nets this year, how ridiculous Stern's approach will prove to be in the end!"

"Come on, come on~www.readwn.com~ Competitive sports, talk about strength, slap the league in the face!"

...

James was discussing summer schedules with Paul when he saw the results.

Because they got the news from Riley in advance, they already factored in the MVP factor.

So when I saw the news, James' face was ashen.

He knew of course Riley wasn't going to lie to him, it must be the Stern guy doing the trick.

Has it been blatantly enough to directly change the results of the media voting?

"I'll go out and make a phone call."

Paul got up and left the room.

His insight is very strong, he can clearly feel James at this time,

Extraordinarily scary.
