Chapter 107 Sweeping the Nets
Throughout the second half, the Knicks relied on the bench lineup to prevent the Nets' wave after wave of chasing points, and the starters never had a chance to play.
In the end, the New York Knicks defeated the New Jersey Nets 112:135 at home.
Kenyon Martin made 28 of 15 shots and scored 35 points and 11 rebounds. He was the leading scorer of the Nets. Of course, most of his points were scored on Chris Anderson, which made the "Birdman" very angry.
基德还是铁，20投7中，三分球10投3中，得到19分12个助攻5个篮板。
The Nets still scored in double figures with 9 players and played their own style, but they still lost, and they were also defeated by their own familiar routine-some opponent went crazy:
Zhao Ke suddenly went crazy at the end of the second quarter and dug a 30+ big hole for the Nets, which made the Nets struggle to fill the hole throughout the second half and failed.
There is nothing to say, Zhao Ke has made 10 of 10 three-pointers, what else can he do?
On May 5, the second game of the Eastern Conference finals was still at Madison Square Garden.
The Nets used the lineup in which Kenyon Martin played center in the previous game. Kidd personally defended Zhao Ke, but Zhao Ke didn't go crazy, and his own strongman would go crazy, such as:
Rasheed Wallace, who was facing Keith Van Horn, exploded. He made 24 of 19 shots and 5 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. The "fake Bird II" almost doubted his life.
Keith Van Horn's presence at the basket is not as good as Mark Rocky's. When Ben Wallace helped Rasheed Wallace block Kenyon Martin, the 2-meter Rasheed Wallace was almost unsolvable at the basket.Especially after he mustered up the courage for the rest of his life, Keith Van Horn, who weakly raised his small hands in an attempt to act as a cart, dunked twice on the head.Then there is no hesitation, it must be dunk, dunk, dunk!
It wasn't until later that the dunk's wrist hurt, and Rasheed Wallace wasted a few three-pointers and hooks.
Kenyon Martin, under the special care of Ben Wallace, made 13 of 4 shots and only scored 9 points and 6 rebounds.
Without the help of Mark Lodge, Kenyon Martin suddenly discovered how difficult it is to squeeze into the Knicks' three-second zone. This Ben Wallace is too hard and too strong.It's not something Kenyon Martin can handle alone, okay?
In addition, Big Ben also grabbed 23 rebounds while defending Kenyon Martin in his "leisure time"!
The Knicks once again beat the Nets with a score of 69:98.
On May 5, the New York Knicks went to New Jersey with a 27-2 lead.
Byron Scott didn't know how to arrange the lineup at all. He used the starting lineup of the first game, and Kidd returned to the home court, scoring 23 points, 13 assists and 30 rebounds on 10 of 5 shots.
But it was useless, Zhao Ke broke out again, made 14 of 12 three-pointers in the first quarter, scored 36 points, and led the Knicks to beat the Nets 49:14 in the first quarter.
Facing a big hole of 35 points, the Nets had to struggle to catch up with the score again in the next three quarters, but the Knicks' bench lineup was still bottomless as always, and they fought hard until the end of the game.
108:89, this is the final score.
The Nets couldn't play at all. Two days later, the Nets lost their mentality by a humiliating 92:56, and the Knicks stopped playing later. Otherwise, it is absolutely possible to create the worst tragedy in the playoffs.
So far, the Eastern Conference finals are over, and the New York Knicks swept the New Jersey Nets 4:0 to win the Eastern Conference championship.
At this time, the Western Conference finals that started first are still in full swing. The Kings hold the match point and lead the Lakers 3:2. They will play the sixth game on May 5.
The team was swept away, and the Nets' weakness in small forwards and centers was also clearly analyzed. If the general manager of the Nets is motivated, the idea of the Nets' team building next year is already very clear. According to the holes, the team's strength will definitely rise.Not to achieve the level of "smiling assassin", at least to make up for shortcomings, this is the expectation of Nets fans.
The Knicks general manager "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, who won the best general manager this season, is about to be praised to the sky. His strength is so supernatural:
In the summer of 2001, "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas made every trade that seemed to lose money, and the New York Knicks are now equipped at every position above the All-Star level.
However, Isaiah Thomas himself is very sober, because his signing list comes from boss James Dolan, and according to James Dolan, this list comes from Zhao Ke!
This is so creepy!
Is this kid God?How did Zhao Ke know that Billups, who had been a parallel importer for four or five years, would be able to play?
How did Ke Zhao know that Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, who had never met before, could produce such a dazzling chemical reaction?
How did Zhao Ke know that Gerald Wallace, the 25th overall rookie, had the strength to challenge the best rookie?
There is also that energetic jumping man Chris Anderson, from which corner did Zhao Ke find it?
Isaiah Thomas wanted to ask Zhao Ke very much, but he stopped again.Everyone has their own secrets, maybe Zhao Ke is not willing to share this secret?
The most important thing for the Knicks now is to keep Zhao Ke. He only signed a two-year contract, and the second year is still a player option.
In other words, after the finals, Zhao Ke almost does not belong to the New York Knicks.
The general managers of the other 28 teams in the NBA will definitely line up to snatch Zhao Ke with a contract worth [-] million yuan.
If the Knicks win the championship, the looting will be even crazier.
If the matter of the list is leaked, Zhao Ke will be even more unable to keep him, and Isaiah Thomas will also become a big Saby at the same level as Billy King.
Therefore, since Zhao Ke showed his worth, Isaiah Thomas has repeatedly warned James Dolan that he must not tell the list, otherwise Zhao Ke will never be able to keep him!
But now, what the "Smiling Assassin" has to do is to discuss the possibility of contract renewal with Zhao Ke, cultivate their relationship, and keep this mysterious guy at all costs!
In fact, Zhao Ke didn't want to leave the Knicks just to be on the safe side. The winning team here is so perfect, and Jeff Van Gundy took such good care of him. Why did he leave?The most important thing is that Zhao Ke is not short of money. He can cut his salary in order to retain the championship team. This is something Isaiah Thomas doesn't know.
So as soon as the Eastern Conference finals were over, the "Smiling Assassin" cautiously invited Zhao Ke to Los Angeles to watch the sixth game between the Lakers and the Kings.
Zhao Ke didn't want to go at first, but the Kings VS Lakers Game [-] is the ugliest playoff game in history. Is there anything to watch?
But the face of "Smiling Assassin" has to be given, right?
