The G4 game between the two teams starts two days later, and it is still the Bulls' home stadium, the United Center Arena.
Westbrook still has a tenacious fighting spirit, talking about fighting for honor and fighting for the fans before taking the field.
However, the fighting spirit of other Bulls players has long been lost, and falling behind 0-3 has already pronounced their death.
Westbrook started the game very hard, killing the inside line continuously.
It caused some damage, but was also blocked by Jordan and Chen Yan.
Xiao Qiaodan regained his energy tonight. After being scolded by Chen Yan, he had a good memory and refused to open anyone's door at night.
Both Luol Deng and Hamilton were in poor condition tonight, and the Bulls fell behind by 9 points in the first quarter.
Chen Yan played very easily, constantly changing opportunities to score or assist his teammates.
The Knicks bench also regained their vitality in this game. When the wind went down, everyone turned into Jordan's various shows.
Barea's step-back three-pointer with the ball, Beverley's one-stop layup after the steal, the Arab League's tough 2+1 without the ball, and Shuhao even dunked one with one hand during the counterattack.
At halftime, the New York Knicks led 61 to 43 by 18 points.
This seems to be another unsuspicious game.
Westbrook didn't have the bravery of the previous two games in this game. He made 10 of 2 shots in the half and only scored 10 points by relying on free throws.
As soon as the second half started, Chen Yan and Curry took turns hitting three-pointers, further damaging the Bulls.
When Westbrook saw that the score difference had reached more than 20 points, he became more and more anxious and got fouled continuously.
Westbrook's mood began to fluctuate, and Thibodeau quickly replaced him.
However, Westbrook did not calm down because of this. As soon as he came on the court in the fourth quarter, he got two T's because of his emotional rage.
When Westbrook was ejected from the game, Curry gave him a bye gesture in a mean-spirited manner.
In this series, the showdown between the two young point guards is also a highlight.
Chen Yan clocked in three quarters with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
This game was completely one-sided, and Chen Yan didn't exert too much effort. To use a classic quote from Tracy McGrady, Chen Yan was already thinking about his opponent in the next round.
With 3 minutes left in the final quarter, fans at the United Center had begun to leave.
The sweep is already a certainty. Fans are now more concerned about whether there will be a traffic jam due to too many people leaving the venue later.
The final score was fixed at 121 to 89.
No surprise, the Knicks swept to advance to the next round.
Except for the slight difficulty in g3, the other three games were won easily with big scores.
In the locker room, Westbrook looked at the big screen with a blank expression.
Due to being sent off early in the fourth quarter, Westbrook could only watch the entire game here.
Westbrook looked like he was deep in thought or in a daze.
The staff didn't dare to go up and disturb him. They were worried that Westbrook would explode if he was still angry.
Only Thibodeau just talked to him: "The season is over, kid, you performed very well."
Westbrook was brought back to reality by these words.
Yes, the season is over, and there is no point in feeling melancholy.
Westbrook stood up and looked at Thibodeau with firm eyes: "I will be stronger next season."
After saying that, Westbrook walked out of the home team's locker room and walked to the visiting team's locker room.
Because he was sent off early, he had not yet greeted Chen Yan.
When Curry saw Westbrook suddenly appearing at the door, he subconsciously took a step back. When Westbrook came off the court, Curry made a provocative gesture. He was afraid that Westbrook would fuck him.
"Congratulations, Stephen. I'm impressed by your three-pointer in the series. It's so hard to defend."
Westbrook politely congratulated Curry.
Westbrook has a fiery temper and is a gentleman on the court.
"Thank you, Russell, you also played your own style." Curry replied with a smile.
When Chen Yan saw Westbrook, he took the initiative to greet him and gave him a hug.
The two whispered a few words and then hugged. Many reporters in the locker room saw this scene. After Westbrook left, the reporter asked: "Chen, what did you just say to Westbrook?"
Chen Yan smiled: "The secret is not 'the future is yours' anyway."
The reporter laughed. Chen Yan was very good at playing jokes.
The reporter continued to ask: "Which team do you hope to be your opponent in the next round, the Nets or the Pacers?"
Chen Yan said: "You know me, we never pick our opponents, but I am looking forward to the game with the Nets. There have never been two Chinese players competing against each other in the playoffs."
The series between the Pacers and Nets is currently tied at 2-2.
Before the game, Chinese fans believed that the Nets could easily win the series. Although they were only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, fans felt that the Nets did not do their best during the regular season. Both Yao and Anthony rested several times.
Fans always have a filter for the teams where Chinese players play. This was the case with the Rockets back then. Except for Yao Mai, there was no third scoring point. The fans just touted this team as a super team and a championship team. I couldn’t get past the first round of the year.
It was no accident that the Pacers and Nets tied 2-2. Their teams have a better understanding and stronger cohesion.
The Nets are better in terms of card strength, but basketball games are not a simple arithmetic problem. Whichever side has more stars can win.
No matter which team wins, one thing is for sure, the Knicks will get plenty of rest before the start of the second round.
In the first round of the playoffs, not only did the Pacers and the Nets play anxiously, the Lakers also surprisingly tied with the Thunder at 2-2.
The Thunder's youth team gave the Lakers a big "surprise" in this round of playoffs.
The backcourt combination of Harden + Devin Harris implements one idea from beginning to end, and that is fast.
Coupled with Al Horford, the Thunder trio turned the Lakers' inside upside down.
The Lakers are not afraid of teams that play them in a straight-line manner, but they are afraid of fast-paced teams like the Thunder that are good at disrupting the game.
In this timeline, the Thunder do not have Durant and Westbrook. Harden has naturally grown into the Thunder's number one star. Entering the All-Stars this year has greatly increased his confidence. He is not afraid at all when he sees Kobe and dares to challenge him.
The Clippers and Nuggets tied 2-2. The two brothers in Los Angeles didn't get off to a smooth start.
The Nuggets have no stars at all and rely on the strength of the team. In the first four games, the five starting players all scored in double figures, but no one scored more than 5 points. The highest scoring average per game was Ty Lawson's 20 points.
The Nuggets' bench is also very strong. McGee and Brewer both averaged close to 10 points per game. It's really hard to defend a team with everyone in the team. There is no focus. Everyone can shoot. Everyone can shoot. Score.
The Clippers mainly rely on Paul and Griffin. No one else averages double figures per game. The two must be at their best in every game to win.
If one of Paul or Griffin fails, the Clippers will basically be in trouble.
The Memphis Grizzlies lead the Dallas Mavericks with a total score of 3 to 1. The Mavericks lost their breath after winning the championship. Coupled with the loss of several championship players, this season has actually lost its competitiveness.
The best performer in the Western Conference was the Spurs, who led the Jazz 3-0. The Spurs beat their opponents by an average of 19 points per game in the first three games. A sweep would not be very difficult for them.
Westbrook still has a tenacious fighting spirit, talking about fighting for honor and fighting for the fans before taking the field.
However, the fighting spirit of other Bulls players has long been lost, and falling behind 0-3 has already pronounced their death.
