The G3 game call was very unfavorable to the Knicks. In the interview session after the game, Ke Yan unexpectedly did not "accus" the referee, but instead commented on his players' performance not being good enough.

"Back to the hotel, we'll watch videos of last season's Eastern Conference Finals to learn how the Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in adversity."

The Eastern Conference Finals of the 0809 season are the darkest round of the series in recent years. The referee almost wore the Cavaliers' jerseys and even "popularized" the basketball rules of "not blocking shots from behind" for many fans who don't understand the ball.

Ke Yan mentioned that this round of series was not only a "sarcastic" but also a vaccination. After all, if you defeat the Heat and enter the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Knicks will most likely go to the Speed ​​Loan Center to face the Cavaliers.

I hope some people don't go too far by then~

Regarding YYGQ, Ke Yan is professional. Not only did he spray the referees of this game, but he also brought fans of other teams to the water. In the post-match forum, many "neutral fans" came to support Ke Yan.

However, Ke Yan received support from outsiders and was "warned" within the team. Dolan's assistant Jimmy White called Ke Yan and made it clear that he did not want him to make controversial remarks, especially about James.

At this time point, it is not even a blind man who can see that Ke Yan is preparing for the Eastern Conference semi-finals in advance. Dolan is also worried that Ke Yan's "several and three-way" provocation will destroy the relationship between the team and James, causing the "Ke Yan + James" plan that he had planned for many years to fail.

"LeBron is not a petty person. On the contrary, the best way to conquer such a person is to make him feel your strength, just like playing games and exploding equipment." Ke Yan said to Jimmy White.

"In the current situation, we are at least 60% sure to join LeBron. Mr. Dolan does not want to cause trouble. Kimi, the Knicks' goals have never been limited to this season." Jimmy White advised.

"In our China, there is a saying that 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?'. Any success is accumulated by little effort. If you don't strive for victory in front of you, why do you think LeBron can change everything?" Jimmy White's words stimulated Ke Yan. His "exhausted efforts" for a season ushered in today's situation for the team, and it was suddenly classified as an "unimportant season". What's that?

"OK! I respect the culture of your country. But I still want to tell you that this is what Mr. Dolan means. For the future of the team, be rational, Kimi."

The phone hung up, Ke Yan took a few heavy breaths before he couldn't help but burst out a few swear words.

He knew the coldness of the city of New York. After all, this is a team that Ewing had to buy tickets when watching the game, and he did not intend to become a "New York celebrity". But when he experienced his efforts being ignored, Ke Yan still felt a little sad from his heart.

......

On May 2, a day later, the G4 of the Heat and the Knicks started.

For Heat fans who came to the American Airlines Center to watch the game, this game is definitely not a good thing.

Although the Heat have not been behind the Knicks for more than 10 points, the Heat have not won a 1-minute lead from the first minute of the game. Until the end of the game, they were suppressed by the Knicks throughout the game until they lost the game.

As the series deepened, both teams gradually figured out what the opponent could do. Compared to the Heat pressing all the pressure on Wade, the Knicks' overall strength is stronger, and they can play more tactics, and steadily control the situation.

Spoelstra changed his moves many times and tried Haslem's small lineup as center, and simply let Wade play the lineup of point guard, Jones and Wright, two shooters, together, but neither achieved good results.

In the final analysis, like the Knicks, the Heat set their goal early on 10 years. In order to free up the most salary space, they also sacrificed their lineup. In recent years, they have been collecting contracts that expired 10 years, and are only willing to offer players a contract that expires 10 years. The limitations in recruitment are very obvious.

The Knicks themselves also have a problem with the thickness of the lineup, but Ke Yan fills this vacancy through the benefits of various rookie contracts. The Heat do not have this vision to choose a rookie who can play like this!

Although Wade played for 42 minutes, with full firepower and scoring gorgeous data of 35 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, the Knicks relied on the strength of the team to defeat the Heat 112:104, leading the series with a score of 3:1.

At the moment of the game, Spoelstra looked at the field with a hint of unwillingness. The Knicks were not strong enough to defeat. With a balanced lineup, he dared not say that he could win steadily, at least he would not win so easily. But now, it is not a fair duel.

Losing the series with the Knicks is likely to mean that the Heat are eliminated in the competition to join James. After all, if you want to make a lot of money, you can go to New York; if you want to be famous, you can stay with the Cavaliers. What is the Heat here? Wade, the "good brother"?

"Maybe the more practical goal is Chris Bosh?" Pat Riley thought for a while, then felt a little distressed.

Compared to the ambiguous James, Bosh is probably more looking forward to going to New York!

......

A victory was brought back from Miami, and the Knicks were just one step away from the Eastern Conference semifinals. But before celebrating the team's return to the Eastern Conference semifinals after 11 years, the team had to celebrate Curry's honor as the best rookie.

On May 4, the league officially announced the appointment of the best rookie of the season, and Curry was elected with almost no suspense.

Although Tyrek Evans' average of 20+4+4 per game has been enough to ensure the best rookie in most of the past 10 years, who has encountered Curry who is cheating? Strictly speaking, fans are no longer the same standard for Curry and Evans. If Curry scored only 20 points and 4 assists in a game, fans may describe it as "bad performance" and "average condition".

"I'm very happy to be the honor of the best rookie. This should be an honor that only has a chance to win together in my life. Fortunately, I have no regrets. To be able to win this honor, I need to thank my parents and family for giving me a lot of support when I was in trouble; I have to thank my teammates and all teammates for supporting me and helping me in their own way; what I need to thank the most is Kimi. If possible, I am willing to be a Messi who has always been...."

Curry Barabala thanks a lot of people. What impressed the most was his "confession" to Ke Yan. If there were fuji girls watching the NBA, now I will cut out the CP videos of Ke Yan and Curry in minutes, which is called "Yan (Yan) Cool (Ku) CP"

However, Ke Yan did not appear at the press conference where Curry won the award. The due date is approaching. Except for training and competition, Ke Yan stayed in the hospital almost all his time. This is also the most "home" period of time since the two dated.

"I really want to see what the reaction will be when you first see Irene." Wang Lifan joked, "I don't know if you will cry."

After negotiations between Ke Yan and Wang Lifan, his daughter was named "Ke Ailin" and the English name was "Irene". This name was also recognized by his elders.

"It must be excitement. It's not that I'm getting married. Why do you cry?" Ke Yan immediately denied it and continued, "When I was born, would you want me to come in with you?"

"No!" Wang Lifan said firmly, "I will fight this battle. After giving birth, you are worried about it."

Even if the family has hired a nutritionist, nanny, nurse, and taking care of the newborn, it is still not an easy task. Ke Yan has done enough psychological construction.

On May 5, the Knicks and the Heat started a G5 showdown at Madison Square Garden.

In the eyes of many people, this will also be the last showdown in this round of the series. The Knicks will solve their opponents quickly and neatly at home. The gentleman swept the Heat and entered the Western Conference semi-finals.

Madison poured into nearly 20,000 Knicks fans, and the stadium turned into a blue ocean. The fans hope to witness the team's victory on the spot and sweep away the haze that has been over the past many years.

However, after the game started, the Heat, which was the first to attack, was the Heat, who was "fighting back and forth". Wade issued a promise of "no rest for 48 minutes" before the game, indicating that he would do his best in the next series and create trouble for the Knicks, greatly encouraging the morale of the Heat teammates.

Fortunately, compared to the past two games, he used the "home whistle" to lead the Heat forward, and after returning to Madison, the Knicks at least did not suffer any losses. Wade did not whistle as soon as he broke through and entered the penalty area. Curry would not have fouled the cylinder because he threw the ball into it. The Knicks played steadily and gradually caught up with the score.

The Heat tried their best, and Wade made up his mind not to go off the court. Ke Yan also increased Curry's playing time, "Gang defeated Gang."

The more this kind of "stop-to-bet" game, the more Curry proved his leadership temperament. He just won the honor of "Best Rookie", Curry is now full of fighting spirit. Facing the final battle with Wade, he doesn't even want to call for pick-and-roll. After pushing to the frontcourt, he beat Wade alone, using a fake move of "Words to worship Buddha" to shake off the Flash's defense, and took a three-pointer to help the team overtake the score.

Of course, Curry's current strength is not as good as Wade, but Curry is in a better system and has better teammates around Curry. Ke Yan designed better tactics for Curry to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. These are treatments that Wade cannot enjoy.

The flaws of the Heat's overall lineup have turned Wade's output into "empty cuts", made Wade's efforts futile, and made Wade's persistence into garbage time, leaving only the image of a "solute brave man".

"Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt, he stopped. Is he going to shoot? - unbelievable! This is a very clever outspoken! Curry got rid of Wade's defense and broke into the penalty area! Haslem came to assist in defense, Curry passed the ball to Garynalli who cut in the left, Garynalli made a layup, and the referee blew up Joel Anthony's foul! Spoelstra called a timeout. If Garynalli made the ball into the ball, the Knicks would lead the Heat by 14 points! There are only 3 minutes left in the game, or in other words, the Miami Heat may only have 3 minutes left in this season!"

On the sidelines, Ke Yan stood on the sidelines with a smile, constantly celebrating with the players who were walking down the field.

The game has basically been won. Taking advantage of this timeout, Ke Yan replaced Jordan Jr. and replaced Alexander on the court. This is to prevent the Heat from using the "shark-cutting tactic" in the next minute. After 2 minutes left in the game, if the player is fouled again, the Knicks can get the opportunity to "stop free throws".

Ke Yan was very good at details, but the Heat still insisted on using the "foul tactic", but their foul targets changed from "Jordan Little" to "Sun Yue".

Sun Dasheng made 3 free throws of 4, increasing his personal data to 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and also completely covered the Heat's coffin board.

The last 2 minutes turned into garbage time. After the intentional use of the Knicks players, it passed quickly. In the end, the Knicks defeated the Heat 111:98, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:1, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In other Eastern Series series, the Magic swept the Bobcats 4-0, and there was no suspense.

In terms of overall strength, the Magic team is still highly respected in the East, as confident as Ke Yan. He also feels that the Knicks' current strength is against the Cavaliers, but it basically cannot touch the Magic team.

The Cavaliers eliminated the Bulls 4-1. The young Bulls made it to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, making progress compared to last season, and they won a victory from the Cavaliers.

The Hawks fought six games and eliminated the Celtics 4:2. In the G6 game, Joe Johnson made 8 of 8 shots in the final quarter and scored 20 points in a single quarter to help the team conquer North Shore Garden Arena.

In the West, the Lakers eliminated the Trail Blazers 4:1. On the playoff stage, the Trail Blazers are still slightly immature;

The battle between bulls and horses ended with the Mavericks' victory. The Spurs are in a period of transformation in recent years. It is not easy to hold the record of 50+ wins in succession, and it is difficult to achieve success in the playoffs;

The Thunder VS Nuggets' series is the most exciting game in the first round.

Durant said: Anthony and I are basically 50% away, but with Billups around him, he is a little better than me;

Westbrook interrupted: He has Billups around him, and you have me around me;

Durant: It’s because I have you around him that he is a little better than me.

Billups beat Westbrook with his IQ, not only did he contribute 22+7 on the offensive end, but he also made Westbrook look dark on the defensive end. He was able to attack and completely ignored Durant and Garnett. The Thunder, which was optimistic about being able to challenge the Lakers, was defeated by the Nuggets and went straight to the first round.

In the last group of duels, the Suns and Jazz also fought seven games, and finally won by relying on their home advantage.

At this point, two Chinese players, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, followed the home team to enter the second round of the playoffs respectively.
