The Knicks' record is terrible, and they lost 7 games in one season.

It's unprecedented to score 70 for two consecutive seasons!

Lin Rui also averaged 46.5 points, 18.2 assists, 11 rebounds, 4.5 steals, 2.3 blocks, 3.5 turnovers this season.

Scores, assists and steals per game have hit record highs in NBA.

The total number of points, assists and steals in a single season also broke the NBA's record in a single season.

In terms of data, no one is more beautiful than Lin Rui.

The first record and the most beautiful personal data, everyone is sure that Lin Rui will defend the title of MVP in the regular season!

Neither James nor Kobe could reach Lin Rui's position.

All of this was realized, and NBA entered the Lin Rui era.

No one knows how many consecutive times Lin Rui can MVP in the future.

Lin Rui is only 22 years old, and this is his third season. Many rookies of the same period as Lin Rui are still in their growth stages!

They have been left far away by Lin Rui.

Durant is excellent, he ranked second in the average score, but he is still far away from Lin Rui.

.....

After the regular season, the rankings of the eastern and western record were also released.

The top eight in the East: Knicks, Cavaliers, Magic, Hawks, Celtics, Heat, Bulls, and Bucks.

Top eight in the West: Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Thunder.

The performance differences between the East and West playoff teams have a bit big.

The Bucks, the eighth-ranked East, entered the playoffs with only 41 wins, while the Thunder, the eighth-ranked West, won 50 wins.

This also reflects to a certain extent the overall situation of strong West and weak East.

However, among the top teams, the Knicks in the East beat the Western Conference.

After the rankings came out, the media immediately analyzed the duels.

The Knicks faced the Bucks in the first round.

.............

Entering the playoffs also means entering the cruel 7-game 4-win elimination system.

The playoff showdown between the Knicks and the Bucks attracted a lot of attention.

April 15.

The Bucks team arrived in New York to prepare for the playoffs.

The Knicks also started preparing for the battle on this day.

As the league's No. 1 team, the Knicks have a home advantage over all teams.

The people of New York also used practical actions to show that they were ready to welcome the playoffs.

New York's TV, radio, and social platforms are all supported by the Knicks logo.

The Knicks' phone tickets and online tickets were sold out within 5 minutes.

New York citizens are not short of money. Even though the Knicks have the highest NBA ticket price, these tickets are still in short supply.

After the channels for telephone ticket sales and online ticket sales were closed, there were also long queues for offline ticket sales.

......

Although the Knicks are the top team, the Bucks are not afraid.

The day before the game, after the Bucks finished their training.

Bogut stood up and said, "Although they are strong, I believe we can beat them. The playoffs are different from the regular season, and their inside line is a huge problem now."

The Knicks often rested in the end of the regular season, and did expose many flaws in the inside.

This also makes the Bucks feel that their inside line will dominate.

Yao Ming and Lin Rui are the top scorers, and Bogut is also the top scorers.

Jennings also said: "We didn't think about giving up the game, I'll try to beat them."

Reed also said: "We are different from before. I promise that when we enter the playoffs, everything will start over."

Indeed, before the game started, the entire Bucks still faced off with hope.

The Knicks team did not respond to any verbal responses, they were basically studying tactics against the Bucks.

After research, the Knicks also believed that although Reed's comeback in the late regular season and improved their strength, it was not enough to pose a threat to the Knicks.

All the Knicks needs to do is to play their own rhythm normally.

April 17.

Madison Garden Arena, New York!

At 6:30 pm, the place was filled with fans.

The atmosphere on the scene was much warmer than during the regular season.

After the cool appearance ceremony, the game officially began.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Lin Rui, Curry, Tucker, Randolph, and Yao Dayao.

The Knicks' casualties recovered well during the ongoing rest, and they were all ready for the playoffs.

The Bucks' starting points are: Jennings, Reed, Delfino, Iliasova, and Bogut.

This is the best lineup that the Bucks can rank.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Bucks are also teams that have been vulnerable, but when their players recover from injuries, they become extremely combat-effective."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, just look at the second half of the regular season. The Bucks are in the top four in the Eastern Conference, so the Knicks can't be careless."

Zhang Weiping said: "Of course, no matter how luxurious the Bucks have, the Knicks have always beaten the team 75 times, and they have an absolute psychological advantage over all teams."

Xu Jicheng said: "The Bucks' goal in this round of series is to win a victory. The Knicks did not lose a single game in the playoffs last season."

Beep!!

With the referee's whistle sounded.

Yao and Bogut jumped up.

Yao Yao in his previous life is no longer in the NBA, but now Yao Yao's body can allow him to continue fighting due to changes in his playing style and long-term rest!

The championship journey of last season also made Yao Yao try the sweet spot. Yao Yao has made too many efforts to extend his career.

Yao Yao transferred the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui directly attacked when he got the ball.

The overall pace of the Bucks players is slightly slower than that of the Knicks.

Lin Rui quickly occupied the position and rushed through Reed's defense.

The Bucks' inside line has not returned yet.

Lin Rui stepped into the air, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand and slashed hard towards the basket!!

"box!"

0 to 2.

Blitz.

Lin Rui completed the attack in just 4 seconds!

"What a fast speed!"

"Lin Rui is fast!!"

"fierce!!!"

"Fuck him!!"

The Bucks' defense looks like paper to Lin Rui.

Jennings and Reed were both depressed. Lin Rui's attack speed was too fast, and they couldn't keep up even if they wanted to.

Although Yao and Randolph were there, the Knicks' overall pace is now very fast.

Bucks attack.

Jennings dribbled to the frontcourt.

The overall pace of the Bucks is slightly slower.

Bogut brought up to cover.
