"I'm honored to receive my second personal honor as the best coach. It feels good to win the trophy every year." In the press conference room of Madison Square Garden, Ke Yan was "lucky" to win the third award in his NBA coaching career.

Personal honor, but also the second "Best Coach" trophy, and then talked about his "farewell speech".

"I need to thank the Knicks players. Their efforts have engraved their names into the history of the NBA, and they have also allowed me to achieve something. But in terms of military medals, everyone deserves credit."

"In the tunnel of time, there is always a moment when I can't tell whether I am 23 or 32 years old; there is always an encounter that makes you share all the past without regrets; there is always a scene that makes you think that youth can

I have to start all over again; there is always a time when I look back and I can’t clearly see my youthful appearance. But after walking out of the tunnel of time, I suddenly became enlightened. Thanks to the NBA for giving me three wonderful coaching journeys and giving me something that I can’t let go of in my life.

Basketball love.”

"The end of time is not the end of the journey. Maybe one day in the future, I will start again."

What was originally an "award-winning speech" became Ke Yan's farewell to the Knicks and the NBA. It also clarified Ke Yan's attitude that he will leave the NBA for a while.

This is not good news for David Stern! As early as 1989, Stern had targeted the Chinese market and went to the capital in person. He waited for the interview in the communication room outside the CCTV building with highlights of NBA games. That meeting

, is the seed for the NBA to take root and sprout in China.

The Bulls Dynasty, Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA, Yao Ming was elected as the No. 1 pick, and the top eight NBA players visited the capital. Everything is moving in a good direction. NBA revenue in China has accounted for 15% of the total revenue, which is the peak in many years.

He originally thought that Ke Yan's existence would continue to spark the Chinese element in the NBA. What Stern didn't expect was that Ke Yan's "emotion" was not only aimed at James and the Knicks, but he was really determined to leave.

All joking aside, Stern is really a little panicked. Because Ke Yan's "irreplaceability" is even more than that of Yao Ming. Don't talk about Asians, even in the NBA and even the entire sports world, there is no coach as legendary as him.

You have to go to Keyan.

Accepting orders in times of danger - turning the tide - starting over from scratch - building a dynasty - internal and external troubles - making a comeback, every story is enough to be made into a movie;

When it comes to evaluating a coach based on attribute charts, Ke Yan can also be called a "hexagonal coach", with gorgeous playing style, sophisticated tactics, good knowledge of people, using troops like a god, a good image, and strong ability to attract money.

Not only China, but also a large number of young people in the United States have become his "believers." His departure is a loss for the entire alliance.

Knicks fans were very disappointed with Ke Yan's departure, just like the Hawks fans in the 2009 season. Only when they were about to lose Ke Yan did they realize how stupid they had been in attacking him. Many times, what seemed like an understatement

Victory and success are all because of Keyan behind him.

If it was really James who brought the championship, why would he defect to New York?

.......

On May 9, G2’s first game was held in Madison.

The warm-up time ended quickly, Madison was gradually filled with spectators, and the atmosphere in the arena became heated.

New York fans were still immersed in the emotions of the team sweeping the Pacers in the first round, and they were waiting to work in the second round. They faced the Magic, who played six games in the first round, which made them even more excited, as if they saw what the team could do.

A scene where you easily kill your opponent and defend your home court.

"The starting lineups of both teams have arrived on the court. Coach Ke Yan has moved Holiday back to the starting lineup. Curry, Holiday, James, West and Horford are the starters. The Magic's main lineup is similar to the first round.

There has been no change in ratio, Nelson, Redick, Turkoglu, Josh Smith and Howard, this is the combination that Van Gundy has used for six games." ESPN broadcast this game, and they sent Mike Breen and

A partnership formed by Reggie Miller came to Madison to do live broadcasts.

Howard won the jump ball and the game began.

Turkoglu dribbled past half court, and the Magic launched an attack.

After his teammates pulled away, the Turkish agent played a pick-and-roll with Howard in the middle, forced his way to the left to break through Horford's defense, stopped suddenly, and shot from mid-range, making a steady hit.

In the past six years, the Magic have been the team with the best record against Keyan; but now times have changed, and the Magic no longer have the lineup advantage to suppress the Knicks. This season, Peja has declined significantly, and the Magic's offense has slightly declined.

Weak, against the Knicks who have become more intense in the playoffs, if there are no surprises in Nelson and Turkoglu, it will not be easy to play.

The Knicks attacked, James singled out Turkoglu, and with a change of direction, he opened up the distance, broke into the basket, attracted Howard and Josh Smith to help defend, and passed the ball to Horford on the outside very well.

Horford faked a shot, attracted Redick to cover up, and passed the ball to Holiday, who hit a three-pointer.

Holiday's shooting is relatively poor compared to Curry and Korver or compared to his own defense. If you really let him shoot, you will definitely seek death.

When the ball was transferred, Nelson and Howard played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting Horford to switch defenses and passing the ball to Howard outside the three-second zone. West immediately made up the defense and gave Howard a chance to confront him. Even though Howard was able to push him away, he still couldn't.

It interfered with Howard's offensive rhythm and put Warcraft into a tight siege.

Under the attack of West, James, and Curry, Warcraft feinted, changed direction, took a step to the left, and passed the ball to Josh Smith. The latter made a mid-range shot, but the ball missed the basket.

James tried to advance quickly to attack in transition, but Josh Smith entangled him immediately, forcing the Knicks to enter a positional battle. James dribbled the ball for a while and handed the ball to West, who wanted the ball in the low post. The latter faced

Turkoglu's defense, turned over and hit a jump shot!

For two consecutive rounds, Turkoglu has become a breakthrough for the Knicks. The Turk is the brains of the Magic on offense, but his lack of physical fitness also makes him easy to take advantage of in high-end games, especially for the Knicks.

This kind of player can launch attacks from all five positions on the field, and anyone who faces Turkoglu can name him.

Turkoglu played a pick-and-roll with Howard in the middle. Howard moved down and diverted the Knicks' defensive focus, passing the ball to Redick on the wing. The latter made a three-pointer and hit the ball on the neck of the ball.

Redick is a "sharp shooter" in the regular season, and is also known as a "soft-legged crab in the playoffs." Moreover, he becomes more and more inaccurate as he plays later, which is even worse than the same type of Korver. Korver has some abilities at least.

His size can provide "60 points" defense. Ke Yan also put him on the bench to hide him. Redick is smaller and easier to target. Whoever trusts him will be unlucky.

The Knicks attacked, Curry broke through and was double-teamed, and separated from the outside. Holiday's three-point shot from the left side missed the basket. West grabbed the rebound and tipped the ball into the basket. (7:2

)

Compared with jumping, the Magic's "Howard + Josh Smith" can compete for the first place in history, but rebounding is not just about who can jump higher. The physical talents of Horford and West are not as good as those of the Magic, but they are both stable in their lower limbs.

, the card position is accurate and can firmly hold the position.

Subsequently, Nelson used Howard's screen to also seize Horford's space in the paint and hit a two-pointer to help the team alleviate the scoring drought.

The Knicks set up a V-shaped position, with Holiday and Horford standing in the bottom corner. West pushed Howard on the left side of the penalty area and James was in the high post on the right side.

Curry came to a 45-degree position outside the three-point line on the right side. James came up and handed him a hand. Holiday slipped to the baseline and ran to the opposite corner with the help of West's screen. He and Horford did a second one on the weak side.

Without ball coverage, the strong side was cleared instantly.

James hung up Nelson and opened up space for Curry. Curry picked up the ball and threw a three-pointer. Josh Smith tried his best to reach out, but he couldn't interfere with Curry's shot. Instead, he knocked Curry down.

.

"Whoosh!"

"Beep!"

The three-point goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle, and Curry scored 3+1. He sat on the ground and kept shrugging his shoulders and started to sneer.

Extra free throws were made, and the score reached 11:4. Just like the Pacers in G1 of the first round, the Magic were almost defeated in the opening game.

The difference is that the Pacers can't keep up, and the gap between the two sides is too big; while the Magic have a physical crisis. After all, they played six games against the Heat in the first round and only had two days of rest before visiting New York.

.

When the Magic attacked, Turkoglu held the ball in the high post and cooperated hand-to-hand with Nelson. The latter's emergency jump shot was blocked by Holiday from behind. Curry grabbed the rebound and threw it directly in front of the court to assist Holiday.

Completed a one-stop dunk.(13:4)

The situation was unfavorable, and Van Gundy called a timeout to make adjustments and replaced Josh Smith with Pietrus to add an outside shooting point.

When the Magic attacked, Pietrus received the ball in an open position on the baseline. Under the interference of James flying over, the three-point shot missed the basket and the rebound bounced very far. Holiday threw himself on the floor to grab the ball and handed it over without getting up.

It was given to Curry, and he barely scored with a fast break dunk. (15:4) The situation was extremely unfavorable to the Magic.

Long before the series started, Ke Yan had guessed that this would happen. Many people were deceived by Van Gundy's winning rate against Ke Yan, and really regarded him as Ke Yan's nemesis. In fact, he was able to fight against Ke Yan in previous seasons.

Time has the upper hand, and luck plays a big factor.

Of course, no one pays attention to how many bowls of noodles Liuzi has eaten. Most fans really just look at Excel for things they are not familiar with.

The Magic team worked hard on the expedition and were at a physical disadvantage. On the offensive end, they lacked a scorer, making it very difficult to score. They were obviously at a disadvantage.

What caused the one-sided situation in this game was the significantly improved defensive intensity of the Knicks entering the playoffs. As Ke Yan said implicitly many times, the team did not exert 100% of its strength in the regular season. On the stage of the playoffs

, whether it is the team's subjective initiative to work harder on the defensive end; or Ke Yan, James will be in harmony, and the team's tactical execution has improved, making the Knicks even more incomprehensible. That is to say, Vogel initiated surrender early, otherwise

George or Granger may have to bear the title of 58.

Halfway through the first quarter, the point difference had reached 17 points, and the two sides entered an official timeout. Ke Yan replaced Holiday with Korver, staggering the playing time of Curry and Holiday. This move was also to prepare for a "tough battle."

.

After returning from the timeout, Van Gundy replaced Redick with Peja, seeming to realize something was wrong. But this adjustment changed the situation without changing the medicine. Unless Howard expands the defensive area and comes to help defend, the Magic's perimeter defense will be useless in front of the Knicks!

Not to mention that Howard's mobility has declined compared to the previous two seasons. Even if he does defend, Mozgov and West in the Knicks are not vegetarians. They can only rely on Pietrus or Turkoglu.

, quite confident!

The game was beaten 44:18 in the first quarter, and the game almost lost its suspense. Van Gundy wanted to declare that the game was lost. Let's take a day off and start playing from G2.
