Paul blew the wind outside for a while, and then returned to the room.
There is no scene of anything falling to the ground, nor is there any atmosphere full of gunpowder.
James was still sitting on the sofa, and his expression had become calm.
This may be the biggest difference between James and Anthony. He is very good at managing his emotions.
You may feel angry for a moment, but you will be able to adjust yourself quickly.
Although that may sound a bit depressing, James is an exception.
"David Stern shouldn't dare to change the media votes yet. I think it was Pat Riley who lied to you."
Paul's success was not in vain, and his mind was really flexible.
James thought for a while and nodded.
Birds of a feather flock together, and they are the smartest people...
When he figured it out, he could also guess that Riley's purpose in saying this was to stimulate his desire to compete.
Then, as he wishes.
…
The discussion about MVP has not stopped yet, and the Eastern Conference Finals is about to begin.
Because of this controversy, this Eastern Conference Finals derby, which was already attracting much attention, has become even more attention-grabbing.
Different from last year's conference finals, because this year the Knicks have the best record in the league, the game will be played in Manhattan first.
Madison Square Garden was packed, the fans were enthusiastic, and KT boards of various stars could be seen everywhere.
Moreover, in the front row of the auditorium, Knicks star fans such as Spike Lee, Jay-Z, and Kanye West also took their seats early.
Today is different from the past. The Knicks have a great chance of winning this year.
What's more, this is the Knicks' opening game, and the Knicks have no reason to lose.
In other words, tonight is the kind of game that makes people feel good physically and mentally after watching it. There is really no reason to miss it.
During the warm-up before the game, the scene kept showing split shots of James and Lin Ying.
This year's MVP result is more controversial than last year, and the performance of the two tonight will also attract more attention.
Before the game started, Brin was chatting with McGrady in the commentary box.
"Who do you think will win tonight?"
Brin asked McGrady a simple, but very topical question.
Because McGrady had previously become a "bluffing West" and would brag about everyone, especially the Nets and Knicks, who were highly rated by him.
Now that the two teams have met, it must be an either-or answer.
McGrady laughed for a while and then gave his answer:
"They are both the best teams, so I think they have an equal chance of winning."
McGrady is also a good person, and when faced with such ultimate questions, he decisively chooses to answer vaguely.
If you don’t answer, you won’t overturn the series.
"What if I had to choose one of the two teams?"
Brin didn't want to let him go like this, so he asked.
"Do I have to choose one?"
"Yes."
"The Knicks."
McGrady was finally forced to come up with an answer.
He doesn't want to be unique. This season, especially tonight, the Knicks have a much greater chance of winning than the Nets.
As for the Nets, Deron's status has always been a problem, and Joe Johnson has never regained his former courage. It is still too difficult to beat the Knicks just by relying on Lin Ying and Butler's group of young people.
After the pre-match warm-up, the opening ceremony began, and the lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.
Nets: Deron, Butler, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Chandler.
Carl has not returned to the team, and the head coach of the Nets team tonight is still Kor.
Knicks: James, Wade, Prince, Bosh, Bogut.
In the cheers of the fans, Bogut drew the ball back to the Knicks team, and officially opened the curtain of the east.
As soon as the game started, James rushed straight into the inside through Bogut's pick -and -roll.
Chandler was prepared for defense, but James's resoluteness exceeded him.
He just didn't keep up, and James had passed him in the air.
"Well!"
In the excitement of the fans at the scene, James contributed a iconic Tomahawk to split!
The Madison Square Garden was ignited at the opening!
After the landing, James reached out to the sidelines and made a "my" action.
This seems to mean that the dunk just now, but it is not just a dunk.
Domineering side leakage!
At the scene, the cheers of the Knicks fans quickly sounded.
They have a hunch that they will see the best James tonight.
The first attack of the Nets' frontcourt, Lin Ying glanced at the Knicks to defend him with Posh, and directly hit Delon and dismaled.
After disassembling, he pulled James to the bottom of the corner, and then reached out to signal Delon's politeness and did it directly.
The opportunity of Delong's big fight, the Knicks team will not include clip.
In Riley's knowledge, Delong is now a burden, let alone Paul, even if it is changed to Lowry, Lin Ying will not be so tired.
Delong launched an attack without hesitation.
Although his status in the first two rounds, as the previous training was displayed, he played Knicks and energy!
The iconic drag stroller, the urgent stop jumper after shaking.
He feels that his body is lighter tonight.
"Well!"
The final result also tells him that this is not an illusion!
Delong seemed a little excited after scoring the goal.
Lai touched his chin with his hands, but did not move.
Delon scored the goal at the beginning, but this cannot be explained.
When he hit the knight before, he also had a similar performance.
But later it proves that it is just good luck.
In the state, you need to take a lot of time to find it.
In the frontcourt, James's violence breakthrough directly caused the Johnson Lairen foul.
His desire to attack tonight is extremely strong.
Moreover, his condition is also very hot.
He directly included the first 4 points of the Knicks team.
I can feel that he is indeed in a state of "anger" tonight.
It was Lelly who lied to him, or Stern changed the results of the vote. He felt that he had been treated unfairly. He had to use this game to prove himself and tell everyone,
He is the MVP of this season.
The scene was given to Lin Ying quickly.
This strong signal released by James at the beginning does not need to be explained at all. Now it is Lin Ying to make a response.
This game is not only a victory, but also about the MVP topic.
Lin Ying ... is still playing and spanning Delong.
He didn't want to do a meaningless response, because he had already got MVP.
James play well, can it change the result of MVP?
He only cares about the game's game tonight.
The state of Delon's opening is different from the previous knight.
At this moment, he wants to create more scoring opportunities for Deron, which is much more important than any response.
Lin Ying's pick-and-roll quality is very high, and he moves to the bottom corner quickly.
Deron got another chance to play Bosh in singles.
The Knicks still didn't help on defense.
It seems that Riley is sure that Deron will not regain his form tonight.
Bosh's defense at this time was obviously further back, to prevent Deron from breaking through.
Although Deron is in poor condition, the power of the drag step is still there.
Deron quickly launched a breakthrough, and this time he was very interesting. During the breakthrough, he gave Bosh a jump shot that he then directly stepped back after a confrontation.
He was really confident tonight!
"Whoa!"
The confident boy's luck will not be bad, Deron's second shot hit!
Lin Ying didn't respond, but Deron scored 4 points in the opening game to compete with James!
It feels like...
With a guy like you, why does my boss need to take action?
Riley stood up from the bench.
His expression, which was still calm and calm before, now became very serious.
This is not a matter of Deron scoring one goal or two goals, but Deron's state and confidence. He can feel that Deron has regained his form.
But why are we playing the Knicks tonight?
He now wanted to point at Delong's nose and say, what kind of cat disease do you have?
However, he had no chance to do that, and there was no point in doing so.
Because he knew tonight's game would be completely different because of this change.
Deron is out of form, and they can double-team decisively when Lin Ying holds the ball.
But if Deron regains his form, their defensive end will have to worry about something very different.
The good news is that James was in really good shape tonight. He broke through directly to the inside, overturned Deron and caused Deron's defensive foul.
Duncan has a heavy sword without an edge, and a skill without skill.
James wields the heavy sword and dances with style.
Lin Ying went over and pulled Delong up from the ground.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Ying asked with concern.
Deron is finally in good shape. It would be a big loss if he gets injured.
Delong shook his head and then made a move.
This means that James pushed someone when he broke through just now.
"It's okay."
Lin Ying nodded.
Then when James took a free throw, he asked Butler to take a position under the basket, and then he chatted with the referee on the sidelines.
It's nothing, just ask the referee for advice if you have some uncertain moves.
For example, will a foul be called if a non-offensive hand pushes someone during a breakthrough?
It's a consultation. If the referee says the scale is OK tonight, he has to use it.
The referee looked at Lin Ying and couldn't help but laugh.
Who can be a referee who hasn't been in the NBA for a few years? How could he not understand what Lin Ying said?
However, Lin Ying's way of expression is very popular because it is a kind of soft communication rather than a hard-line complaint. It is much more effective than saying that you should call him a foul.
"We'll keep an eye out for that kind of movement."
The referee finally answered in the affirmative, and Lin Ying went back with a smile.
James still hit his two free throws steadily, and his touch was really good tonight.
But looking back, Deron and Chandler rushed to the basket after a pick-and-roll. After attracting a double attack, they faked a real pass and returned the ball to Chandler in the air to follow up.
"Bang!"
Chandler caught the ball, jumped up, and smashed the ball into the basket with a two-handed dunk!
Not only is Deron scoring, his organization is also on the line, this is really coming to life!
On the Nets bench, Cole's entire face was filled with excitement.
To be honest, he is very confident when playing against the Cavaliers, because the Cavaliers' playing style intersects with his understanding of basketball, and he knows himself and the enemy.
But facing Riley and the Knicks, he really didn't have much confidence.
Then, Delong took the lead in giving him a surprise, which made him excited!
Even his self-confidence surged like a reservoir after a heavy rain!
He got up directly and went to the sidelines, constantly shouting to remind his teammates of their defensive positions.
This is total dedication!
"beep!"
The whistle sounded on the court, and James was called for an offensive foul when he pushed someone while breaking through!
James was going to continue to the free throw line, but when he saw the referee's gesture, he jumped up on the spot, then rushed to the referee to signal that he had been violated.
The referee gave face and explained the reason for the call.
James was still very dissatisfied and finally threw his hands together.
The referee frowned when he saw it and took the ball and directly signaled the Nets to serve from the backcourt.
√ Communication method: Lin Ying.
×’s communication method: James.
This penalty has a great impact on the situation on the court, because a player will have to leave the game if he commits two offenses in the first quarter. James will definitely have concerns if he breaks through again.
Moreover, the ball rights are exchanged, and now the Nets have a chance to overtake the score.
The Nets' offense still has the ball in Deron's hands.
Tonight, Deron was the vanguard of the charge at the beginning of the game.
After the pick-and-roll, he changed direction with a drag step and passed Bosh. After entering the paint, he faced a double team and made an iconic throw.
The ball seems to be thrown a little crookedly.
Wait, it’s not a toss!
Lin Ying didn't know when he cut inside and was led by the ball into the air.
"Bang!"
This is an alley-oop!
8 to 6!
The Nets overtook the score!
Lin Ying and Delong gave him a high five while retreating.
The Knicks fans at the scene were agitated.
Although the person standing in front of the Nets bench is no longer Sloan, the Nets' opening performance makes it difficult not to recall what happened in last season's playoffs.
Lin Ying and Deron, Jordan and Pippen!
After the first quarter, the score on the field was 32 to 26.
The Nets turned the tables and suppressed the Knicks.
James scored 16 points in a single quarter and performed well.
But for the Nets, Deron also scored 14 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, competing with James.

"T-ma?"
In the commentary box, Brin looked at McGrady with a smile.
He found that Tracy McGrady was really a bit weak!
And he seems to know the reason why Tracy McGrady caught people bragging. If he doesn’t brag, things won’t change!
Well, it seems that just like his career, he is still not very good at making key choices.
"There are four quarters in the game."
McGrady could only bite the bullet at this time.
After saying this, he turned his attention to the field.
The second quarter of the game is about to begin, and both sides have also changed into extensive rotation lineups.
Nets: Livingston, J.R. Smith, Jimmy Butler, Granger, Yi Jianlian.
For the Knicks, Mo Williams, Ray Allen, Artest, Landry, Bosh.
On the Nets, Granger plays the fourth position, and the lineup is smaller than before.
This should be a good opportunity for the Knicks to chase points.
Chapter completed!
