NBA: No. 1 Forward

Although, the Magic recovered part of the score in the first half of the fourth quarter.

However, after the break, Lian Dao came on the field and opened the score again with a 10:0.

The Magic players on the court played to the end and were exhausted.

After all, they still did not realize their desire to win a game from the away game.

96:117.

The Knicks easily won G4.

Lian Dao did not score very high in this game, but his triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists is still the MVP of this game!

Howard played very aggrieved in this game. He was severely restricted by Lian Dao in the first three quarters. After finally waiting until the fourth quarter, Lian Dao took a rest, but was immediately double-teamed by David Lee and Millsap .

Howard only scored 12 points and 10 rebounds throughout the game.

After the game.

Jeff Van Gundy said without any concealment: "The Magic have no chance of winning. After returning to the home court, they may win one game by virtue of the home court advantage, but it is impossible to win three games in a row. The Knicks still found There is a way to limit Howard, but the Magic have never found a way to limit sickle, the game is over, and the overall situation is basically settled!"

What Jeff Van Gundy said is straightforward, but many people also know that this is the truth.

The Magic suffered a two-game losing streak in away games, and the Knicks have found a way to restrain them. If there is no accident in the fifth game, then it is possible that the next game will be the last game of the season for the Magic!

The cheers from Madison Square Garden were still loud, they were shouting and celebrating!

While watching the live broadcast in front of the TV on the other side, the Magic fans who followed the game felt a little lost.

Could it be that the Magic will really stop in the second round this season?

When will the Magic have a chance to win the O\'Brien Cup?

The Knicks won all at home, and they also flew to Orlando with a 3:1 lead.

Back in Orlando, the Magic are extremely calm now. They don\'t want to be eliminated just like that. They don\'t want to admit defeat. They still have hope for the game.

Although the Knicks lead by a large score of 3:1, there are many cases in NBA history where a 3:1 lead has been reversed, and the Magic is one of them.

The young and frivolous McGrady led the Magic to lead the Pistons by a big score of 3:1. After the game, he made a high-profile statement at the press conference: "I have already considered my opponent in the next round!"

This directly made the Pistons excited. After that, they pulled three games in a row, and finally eliminated the Magic 4:3.

Moreover, although the Magic are now 1:3 behind, they don\'t think the Knicks are stronger than them.

They were the Eastern Conference champions last year, they have the best running lineup, and they have rich experience in the playoffs.

And what is the Knicks?

A group of rookies who have no experience in the playoffs, and even their two starters are rookies this year, the Magic can\'t bear to lose to a group of rookies like the Knicks.

When he came to Orlando, Lian Dao reminded all his teammates: "Don\'t be careless, the Magic will never give up easily, we will win the game with one effort!"

Although Lian Dao reminded other Knicks players, Lian Dao didn\'t know how much they listened to.

…

May 12.

G5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals kicked off at Amway Arena in Orlando!

Before the game started, the two sides basically had a clear goal!

The Knicks want to go all out and win the game directly on the road!

The Magic are bound to keep their home court advantage and pave the way for the next counterattack!

The two teams also had constant conflicts in this game, and the whistle of this game was obviously biased towards the Magic.

Holiday\'s layup after a breakthrough was directly pulled from the air by Lewis, but the referee simply gave a common foul.

Looking back, Millsap also knocked Jameer Nelson off the court, but Millsap was called a first-degree malicious foul.

Millsap argued with reason, but the referee still did not change the penalty, and D\'Antoni roared angrily on the sidelines.

After the Magic discovered the referee\'s whistleblowing scale, they intensified and continued to attack Millsap from the inside.

This directly led to Millsap leaving the field with 6 fouls before the end of the third quarter.

In this game, the inside line of the two teams has also become a wrestling battle, and each other\'s small moves are endless.

Lian Dao and Howard slammed inside, and Lian Dao pinned Howard to the ground, and the referee gave each of them a technical foul.

Van Gundy expressed dissatisfaction with the referee\'s penalty. He believed that Lian Dao\'s action was already a second-level malicious foul and should be sent off.

But the referee is not blind, obviously when Lian Dao dunked, Howard hugged Lian Dao first, and Lian Dao was forced to defend himself, which led to the conflict on the court.

If there is a penalty, both of them will basically be punished.

However, the two super giants were sent off, and he, the referee, would probably be spat out by the fans after the game, and the president would definitely call and scold him to death after the game was over.

I just count on these two people to increase the ratings. If these two people are punished, will the ratings still matter?

The smell of gunpowder in the game between the two sides is also getting stronger and stronger.

But the Magic did not open the score because of this.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides fought to: 62:62!

This may be the Knicks\' least efficient scoring game.

Not just the Knicks, but the Magic as well.

A lot of physical contact, so that the shooting rate of the players on both sides has dropped to freezing point.

By the fourth quarter, the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was still intensifying.

When Gallinari was attacking, Michael Pietrus pulled Gallinari\'s jersey, and was elbowed by Gallinari and hit Michael Pietrus in the face. Michael Pietrus tore his brow bone and bled on the spot.

And Gallinari was also expelled!

The Knicks lost two players for a while, which directly caused problems with the Knicks\' rotation.

As a last resort, D\'Antoni put Lian Dao on the 3rd position again, David Lee on the 4th position, and Darko Milicic on the 5th position.

However, Milicic\'s defense in the interior was too rough, and he was fouled by Howard and Lewis one after another.

However, Howard, who has no restrictions on cheap rice, seems to be at home in the paint.

Successive dunks scored to help the Magic open the score.

Seeing that the Magic were about to pull the score to double digits, Lian Dao stood up again at this time.

First, a three-pointer from the outside helped the Knicks stabilize the situation on the court.

Then on the defensive end, he blocked Howard\'s small hook and controlled the blocked basketball.

Then he went to the basket, attracted Howard Lewis\' defense, assisted David Lee and hit a mid-range shot~www.mtlnovel.com~ The score gap instantly narrowed to 5 points.

However, without Gallinari and Millsap, the Knicks\' defense dropped a notch, especially on the inside. The constant double-teaming of Howard allowed Lewis to get a lot of outside space.

Lewis came to the bottom corner for three-pointers many times, and David Lee kept up with Lewis, so Howard inside would easily single Milicic.

Once David Lee chooses to double-team, Howard will give the ball to Lewis on the outside.

Lewis\' three-point position in the bottom corner is his shooting hotspot, and the consecutive outside three-pointers fired, once again widening the score gap.

Although Lian Dao resisted desperately, he still couldn\'t defeat the full Magic team by himself.

With 43 seconds left in the final game, the score: 79:91.

The Knicks trailed by 12 points.

D\'Antoni reluctantly replaced Lian Dao and the main players who hadn\'t rested.

After Lian Dao left the field, he sat down on the bench, panting heavily, covered his head with a towel and said nothing.

In this game, they were really aggrieved. The referee\'s unfair penalty and the Knicks\' overall lack of experience in dealing with such emergencies were the main reasons for the loss of this game.

Not only Millsap and Gallinari, but even Lian Dao wanted to stage a full martial arts performance many times and directly kill the opponent\'s players.

But fortunately, he held back the anger in his heart in time.

Otherwise, once he performs all-out martial arts, it is estimated that not only will he be sent off, but he may also be notified of a suspension. Once he receives a suspension, the Knicks really have no hope.

Even a suspension may change the entire situation for the playoffs!
