After the pause comes back.

The Wizards set up a three-point tactic for Butler.

Now two points don't mean much to them, they want three-pointers.

But the Knicks' defense is also targeted. They don't need to defend two points anymore, just focus on defending the outside.

Caron Butler made a move against Jeffries' defense. The ball was too difficult and he directly came out.

David Lee jumped high to protect the rebound.

Arenas fouls against David Lee.

Lin Rui raised his hand and began to signal the fans to celebrate the victory.

The fans at the scene also kept shouting with Lin Rui's sign.

It's been a long time since Knicks fans have enjoyed this kind of playoff winning streak.

David Lee stood on the free throw line with the ball.

The first penalty is not made!

The second penalty is hit after adjustment!!

115 to 120.

The Wizards launched another attack.

Arenas' crazy attack on the frontcourt this time.

Lin Rui was entangled continuously.

When Arenas finds his phone and makes a three-pointer, there is no more time left.

"Buzz!!!"

"knock!"

"Swish!"

118 to 120

Arenas hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

But the time is gone, and this ball has no effect on the results of the game.

Lin Rui ran towards the backcourt, and after getting the basketball, he threw it hard towards the audience!!

2 to 0.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks scored two consecutive home games, leading the Wizards 2-0 with a big score.

Fans at Madison Garden Arena were screaming loudly.

The Knicks won such a happy game in the playoffs back to the last century.

In the mid-1990s, after Michael Jordan announced his retirement.

The Knicks, who lost four consecutive matches with the Bulls in the Eastern Conference playoffs, finally turned around.

From 1993 to 1994, the Knicks ranked first in the Atlantic Division with 57 wins, and the team performed very well in defense. The 91.5 points per game averaged the opponent and was the fourth lowest point in the league since 1964 after implementing the 24-second offensive rule.

Patrick Ewing is still the Knicks' number one firepower, averaging 24.5 points per game, the highest in the team and sixth in the league.

Charles Oakley is also the seventh in the league with 11.8 rebounds per game.

In the playoffs, the Knicks eliminated the New Jersey Nets 3-1 and met the Bulls again in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. This time, with its tenacious and fierce defense, the Knicks defeated the Bulls 4-3 and then eliminated the Pacers 4-3, and once again entered the Finals since 1973.

In the finals, the Knicks met the Houston Rockets.

The two teams fought fiercely for seven games, and in the end the Knicks lost their opponents and missed the championship.

In the 1994-95 season, the Knicks failed to make it to the Finals again, but the team still played an excellent season, with team superstar Ewing ranking in the top ten in scoring, rebounding and blocking.

In the 1995-96 season, this season was also the last season of many of the team's core players in the Knicks. The team's record of 47 wins and 35 losses was the first time in 1990 that it failed to win 50 games.

In the playoffs, the Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-0 and met the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan again.

The Bulls easily beat the Knicks 4-1.

Patrick Ewing's stable performance this season still led the team, still ranked in the top ten in the league in scoring, rebounding and blocking. In the 1996-97 season, with the addition of Larry Johnson, Alan Houston, Chris Childs and Buck Williams, the team's lineup has been improved. In addition, veteran Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Charles Oakley are in charge, the Knicks performed well, with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, ranking second in the Atlantic Division. In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks swept the Charlotte Hornets, but were later reversed and eliminated in the game against the Miami Heat.

Next season, Ewing suffered a serious injury that could destroy his career in the game against the Bucks on December 20, 1997. Andrew Long pushed Ewing down to dislocate his right wrist and accompanied by a torn ligament. For this reason, Ewing missed the remaining games of the 1997-98 season.

This injury caused a big blow to the Knicks.

The Knicks, who lacked the inside pillar, advanced to the playoffs with a record of 43 wins and 39 losses, and defeated the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. However, they were eliminated 4-1 by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In the 1998-99 season, two weeks before the start of the season, the Knicks sent John Starks, Chris Mills and Terry Cummings, and exchanged Ratrell Spreeville from Golden State. The team then sent Charles Oakley to Toronto and attracted Marcus Camby. After these changes, the team's rotation lineup changed drastically. In the shrinking season, the team achieved a record of 27 wins and 23 losses.

In the first round of the playoffs, the team eliminated the top seed Miami Heat through five innings, and the New York Knicks became the first team in NBA history to enter the finals as the eighth seed. In the second round, the Knicks miraculously eliminated the Indiana Pacers. But in the finals, the loss to the Spurs missed the championship again.

In the 2000-01 season, the Knicks ranked third in the Atlantic region with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, and entered the playoffs for the 14th consecutive time, which also set team history. After entering the Eastern Conference semi-finals for nine consecutive years, the Knicks were eliminated 3-2 by the Toronto Raptors in the first round.

From 2001 to 2007, the Knicks were in a sluggish state during this period, and the team's winning rate did not exceed 50%. They only entered the playoffs in the 2003-04 season, and were eliminated in the regular season early in the rest of the season.

The Knicks looked like there was no hope in nearly 8 years!!

Until 2007, the top pick Lin Rui joined!!

After Lin Rui joined, he became another dominant superstar after Ewing!!

This season, the Knicks are striving for progress under the leadership of Lin Rui, and they look full of hope!!

Two consecutive wins in the playoffs are very difficult for the Knicks!!

Lin Rui scored 54 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 5 turnovers in this game. Lin Rui's influence on the game can be seen from the data.

Of course, Lin Rui was not afraid at all on the key goal.

In addition to Lin Rui, Randolph scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, David Lee scored 12 points and 7 rebounds, Crawford scored 12 points and Richardson scored 10 points.

The Knicks' starting lineup accounted for most of the Knicks' scores.

On the Wizards, Arenas scored 18 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds, Jamison scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, Caron Butler scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Nick Young scored 16 points.

The Wizards and the Knicks' score difference is not big. They once had the chance to win the final game, but they failed in the end!

After losing this game, the Wizards all bowed their heads and walked back to the locker room.

They need to go back to their home court to adjust. If they return to their home court and continue to lose, they will be in a desperate situation.

After celebrating with the fans, the Knicks players returned to the locker room one after another.
Chapter completed!
