The game between the Celtics and Knicks was not as intense as imagined.

The Celtics played very tough, but their toughness didn't have much effect in front of the Knicks.

To sum it up in the simplest sentence: The Knicks are ridiculously strong right now.

Originally, Richardson's injury was a big hidden danger, but in the end, he was directly replaced by Prince, who had a very high attendance rate.

This biggest risk was avoided in one fell swoop.

And in the previous buyout free market, they also signed Francisco Garcia, a Dominican shooter who grew up in New York.

The 31-year-old veteran sacrificed most of his salary to chase his championship dream.

His addition also ensures the Knicks' seemingly thin backup small forward.

And don't be surprised, in fact, Garcia is not the only one who wants to go to the Knicks at this year's buyout deadline, but the others have not been able to reach an agreement.

For a 6-star team, a team that can see the championship base at a glance, it would be strange if the veterans didn't all sharpen their heads and dig in.

So up to now, the Knicks have led the Celtics 3-1.

Moreover, the next game is at the Knicks' home court. If nothing else happens, the Knicks will also finish the game within five games like the Nets.

The most exciting New York Derby is about to be staged.

It can be said that the east side is basically booked, but the west side is really full of passion.

Let’s talk about the Spurs and Lakers first. They are the first conference semifinals to start.

But until now, they have not decided on a result.

After 6 games, the two teams tied at 3-3!

Both sides will usher in a life-and-death tie-break!

The performance of this Spurs team so far has been incredible.

Although they performed well in the regular season, no one really thought they could play so well!

In addition, the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks was also extremely fierce.

After five games, the Mavericks lead 3-2.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Durant performed exceptionally well, but his defense was too suffocating to hold up Westbrook at the critical moment, and the Thunder ultimately lost.

Westbrook's performance is actually not bad, but there are always a few rounds where he suddenly loses power.

This is nothing in normal times, but in a real competition between strong teams, sometimes the outcome of the game depends on those few key rounds.

…

Two days later, the Celtics and Knicks game started first.

What people didn't expect was that the Knicks overturned at home!

The Celtics showed a more mature mentality than the Pacers. Pierce and Garnett's desire to win in desperate situations also drove Howard.

In the end, the Celtics made a comeback in the away game, rewriting the score to 2-3.

Moreover, the next game is at home for the Celtics, and the previous game that the Celtics won was also at home.

This time the suspense of the series begins again.

If this really drags into a tie-break, the outcome will really become a 50-50 decision.

This result also gave the Nets, who were ready to start their trip to the Eastern Conference Finals... at least two more days of rest.

At the end of the training session that day, a bunch of people were talking and laughing in the locker room.

"Tyson, how long has it been since you shaved?"

Deron looked at Chandler with a curious expression.

He has a beard, and Chandler also has a beard.

Therefore, the two of them usually have some exchanges in this regard.

For example, how to maintain your beard and what style is most suitable.

Lin Ying heard the exchange between the two and turned his eyes curiously.

Because Chandler's beard wasn't short before, he didn't pay much attention to it, but looking at it, it was indeed a hundred million points longer.

"Are you trying to imitate Dirk in growing a beard?"

Lin Ying joked with a smile.

"How do you know?"

Chandler looked at Lin Ying with curiosity.

Yes, hit it right.

But this is kind of interesting.

Nowitzki is probably starting a trend of growing beards.

If the Nets can win the championship this season, there will only be more people with beards in the future.

It's quite interesting to think about it.

"Lin, which team in the Western Conference do you want to play in the finals?"

Chandler chatted with Lin Ying and asked along the way.

Lin Ying stared at Chandler carefully for a while, then nodded.

After checking his eyes, although Chandler definitely looks like a general on stage, he shouldn't be at Durant's level.

"I hope to play a game with the Lakers."

Before Lin Ying could answer, Delong spoke first.

The three of them chatted and really didn't care who asked whom.

Deron's answer is very true, he must want to play against Paul.

"I want to play against Mavericks."

Chandler's next answer was a bit harsh.

He was abandoned by the Mavericks at first, and he also wanted to prove himself in front of Yao Ming.

"Thunder."

Lin Ying also gave his own answer.

Although he feels that currently, the probability of the Thunder being the four teams is the smallest.

This was the year in the history of the Spurs that they reached the Finals. If it hadn't been for Ray Allen's winning three-pointer, the Spurs might have been able to break the curse of being unable to win consecutive championships;

The Mavericks are the defending champions. After Yao Ming's comeback, their combat effectiveness has quickly rebounded. Don't think that there is a possibility that they will not defend the title. On the contrary, the possibility is very high;

Not to mention the Lakers. After failing to win the championship in 2008, Kobe was very scary in 2009. The situation now is very similar to that time.

But this question is about thinking, of course he hopes to compete with his former partner and veteran general on stage in the finals.

"Okay, if you have time to think about this, why not think about how to beat the Knicks in the next round. Our opponents will be much stronger."

However, Lin Ying quickly spoke again.

In fact, judging from the current performance, the strength displayed by the Knicks is the strongest among all teams.

Even if they are confident in themselves, the Nets are evenly matched against them.

…

One day later, before the G6 game between the Knicks and Celtics started, the league took the lead in announcing the winner of the regular season MVP.

The match between the East and West is in full swing, and fans' attention to this result has not diminished.

Especially since several popular candidates have not been eliminated and have performed well, the buzz is actually getting louder and louder.

Finally at this time, the results came out.

The one who finally won the regular season MVP was...Lin Ying!
