　　 The Knicks won 121 to 89 in the first game.

　　 Calipari shook hands with Van Gundy after the game, his expression was very embarrassing, for fear that the other party would sarcasm. However, Yang Rui and Fan Gandi seemed to not know him. Without saying a word, Yang Rui didn’t even look at him.

　　 This disregard made Calipari even more disappointed. He cared very much, but the opponent did not treat him as an opponent at all.

　　 This is indeed the case. Yang Rui choked on Calipari when he met the Nets, only to be ridiculed because the opponent first spoke ironically.

　　 This is like a person blind date, the other party is not pleasing to the eye, saying something like “we are not suitable”, no one will be angry.

　　 If one party says “You are too fat”, “You have a low education level,” “I don’t think you have the skills”, it is provocative, but anyone with a little temper will feel uncomfortable and want to fight back.

　　Now Yang Rui’s anger has prematurely disappeared, and Calipari is all the way to him.

　　 A few days later, the Knicks swept the Nets 3-0.

　　Jason Williams can rebound and is tough enough to lack scoring ability. Compared with the regular season, Van Horn is soft and heartbreaking, averaging only 12.7 points and 3 rebounds per game. It’s hard to imagine that this is the data of the 208CM big man.

　　 The Knicks scored a hundred in the field, and Calipari could only comfort himself. This is because Van Gundy coached so well. The Knicks players are so strong, and they have nothing to do with Yang Rui.

　　Yang Rui was glad that if he joined the Nets at the beginning, the popularity would definitely not be higher than now. Unless the mid-term trades all listen to his arrangements and recruit reinforcements, otherwise the playoffs will hit the second round at most.

　　 Other games in the east also successively won and lost, the Bulls eliminated the Cavaliers 3-1.

　　The Cavaliers boss is “Rainman” Sean Kemp. He signed for the seven-year $107 million contract and joined the Cavaliers in the summer of 97. He averaged 18 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Entering the playoffs, he scored 26 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block in four games, finishing Dennis Rodman.

　　 Now Camp is still very strong, it is his excellent play to help the team grab a victory. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers “4 Tigers” lack experience in the playoffs. Except Ilgoskas scored 17.2 points and 7.1 rebounds, the performance of the other three figures fell sharply compared to the regular season. The Cavaliers can only end in hatred.

　　The Pacers eliminated the Hornets 3-1 and will face the Knicks in the second round.

　　The Heat defeated the Hawks 3-1. Tim Hardaway regained his second spring, averaging 26 points and 6.5 assists per game, scoring 3.6 three-pointers per game, and shooting 43.2% from the field.

　　Moning is still stable, averaging 19.3 points, 10 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.

　　Yang Rui found that history has quietly changed. The Knicks and the Heat are difficult to meet in the playoffs, unless the Heat can beat the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals.

　　In his original time and space, the Heat and the Knicks met in the first round, and the Knicks staged “Black Seven”.

　　 There was a fierce conflict between the two teams during the match. Fan Gandi hugged Moning’s thigh and was dragged by fans. Many years later, fans were still talking about it. Today, Van Gundy has lost the opportunity to hold Moning’s thighs, and the league has one less exciting story.

　　Avoid the heat, Yang Rui did not forget to remind Van Gundy. “Jeff, talk about restraining your temper when you do the mobilization work again. Don’t fight again like last year. Reggie Miller is the cheapest and everyone is likely to be irritated.”

　　Van Gandi patted his head. “You are right, you have to tell them to calm down, especially Larry, Charles, John…”

　　 Yang Rui was sweating keenly. The team was eliminated for this last season, and the head coach didn’t seem to think about it.

　　Van Gundy, you can make a snack.

　　 Experts predict the second round, and are equally optimistic about the Knicks.

　　The Pacers did not make the playoffs last season, 39 wins and 43 losses only ranked tenth in the east, so the team laid off coach Larry Brown. The Pacers lineup hasn’t changed much this season, only adding a veteran Chris Mullin who can shoot a three-pointer, and the head coach is replaced by Larry Bird.

　　The Pacers have greatly improved their record, 58 wins and 24 losses in the regular season, winning mainly by defense, averaging 89.9 points per game, ranking among the best. Their offense was not very good, averaging only 96 points per game. Even with star guard Reggie Miller, the team averaged only 12.5 three-point attempts per game, hitting 4.9 and shooting 39% from the field.

　　 The reason why people are not optimistic about the Pacers is very simple, the lineup depth is too different.

　　 Miller and Houston are excellent three-point shooters, and the role is relatively simple, can only score.

　　Miller averaged 19.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1 steal. He shot 47.7% from the field and 42.9% from the 3-point range.

　　Houston averaged 19.4 points, 3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.5 steals per game. He shot 47.1% from the field and 42.7% from 3-point range.

　　 The question is coming, the Pacers star can only be compared with the Knicks second, and Miller is only famous enough, personality is crazy enough, the ability is not stronger than Houston.

Ewing’s opposition Pacers center Rick Schmidz has obvious advantages. This white big man with a height of 224CM and a weight of 113 kg is also a space center. He averages 28.6 minutes per game, 16.7 points and 6.9 rebounds, but Bird does not Dare to let him play too long, because Schmidz’s defense is not good, moving too slowly.

　　 The Knicks like to play the team with the slowest inside speed, averaging the best three-point attempts per game, averaging 25.7 shots per game, shooting 9.9 and shooting 38.4%.

　　 The gap between the two teams is even greater. The Pacers can only average 39.3 rebounds per game, the 26th in the league. Although this is related to the tactical system of reducing the number of rounds, it is also bad enough.

　　The Knicks averaged 45.4 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league, the team has three major rebounders Ewing, Oakley, Ben Wallace, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Johnson, Mills, and even marginalist Buck Williams are not weak in rebounding.

　　On May 3, the two sides opened the first game, the Knicks made the most of these two advantages.

　　As long as Schmidz is present, the Knicks continue to look for opportunities through the outer ballless screen, and the defender takes the ball and pulls Schmidz out of the basket.

　　The Pacers replaced Schmitz, and the protection of the backcourt became worse. The Knicks boldly shot outside and rushed to rebound. Even if Ewing came to rest, Oakley and Big Ben were enough for the Pacers.

　　In contrast, the Pacers’ attack center of gravity is on the periphery, lack of change, the Knicks are much easier to defend.

　　Yang Rui did not arrange complicated offensive tactics in the Knicks. The main thing is to play inside, and there is no ball cover from the outside. Both sets are ahead of the times.

　　 Especially without the ball cover, help teammates to make a three-point run, this move can be said to make big men, slow-moving centers in the future lost their way. Even the Grizzlies center Mark Gasol, who has taken the best defensive player, is uncomfortable when he encounters the Warriors’ outrageous throwing. The speed is slow, and it is difficult to change the defense.

　　 105 to 91, the Knicks easily won the first victory.

　　 In the second game, Bird reduced the center Schmidz’s playing time, defensive pick-and-roll strength increased, but the offense was in trouble.

　　 played the whole game, the Pacers only Miller and Antonio Davis scored double figures, scoring 21 points and 14 points respectively.

　　The Knicks have five people scoring double figures, and no one scores 20+ is enough to pack up their opponents, 95 to 77 wins a game.

　　 The Pacers were tempered, and the media became one-sided. Fans were optimistic about the Knicks’ promotion. There are only a handful of teams that can trail 0-2 and want to eliminate the balanced Knicks unless there is a miracle.
