At Madison Square Garden Arena, the fans at the home stadium were overwhelmed by unusually enthusiastic emotions.

The first game of the New York Knicks’ 2003-2004 playoffs officially began.

Knicks starters: Lin Mo + Stephen Marbury + Keith Van Horn + Dayao + Dako Milicic are still regular lineups.

On the Cavaliers’ side, there were some changes to the lineup.

The starting line-up is: Lebron James + Carlos Boiser + Zajona Ilgoscas + Jeff McGinnis + Ila Newbel.

After James clashed with Ricky Davis, the Cavaliers’ former star was traded to the Green Army.

In order to free up James for absolute ball and shooting opportunities, and to cultivate him as a cornerstone of the team.

Any player who conflicts with James, the Cavaliers will all be sent away, and James is the absolute core and soul of the Cavaliers.

Big Yao and Big Z Ilgoscas jump ball.

This Li Taowan player, who is also 2 meters 21 meters tall, is only 5 centimeters shorter than Da Yao, and has a longer arm span than Da Yao, and his touch height exceeds that of Da Yao, which also belongs to the Little Giant.

However, Big Z’s body is not strong enough and belongs to the softer type.

There is a certain threat to Dayao, but it is not very large.

When facing Dayao, Ilgoskas also has a certain advantage.

Because he has about 8 years of competition experience and is at the absolute peak, he is still much stronger than Dayao in this regard.

Big Yao took the ball from the top of Big Z’s head and put it in Marbury’s hand, and the Knicks attacked first.

At this time, the Knicks fans on the sidelines all stood up and gave the home team a very high level of treatment and respect.

When the team gets the first point, the fans will sit down.

This custom has become a tradition for many teams.

Marbury passed the ball to Lin Mo, and at the moment when Lin Mo got the ball.

Immediately, Jeff McGinnis and Ila Newbell struck up, leaving no room for them.

From the first attack in the opening game, Lin Mo felt the intensity of the playoffs.

The two men were like mad dogs, biting Lin Mo deadly, and 4 arms were on him, like crab pincers, clamping him firmly and unable to move at all.

Very strong physical contact.

Since it is a playoffs, the referee will relax the scale, and the defensive action is naturally much fiercer.

Lin Mo faced the ferocious attack of the two people, singled his back, turned around and shook McGinnis away, and came to a high position.

Boozer made up again, and Lin Mo didn’t have any room to shoot at all.

The Cavaliers are not good at defense, but by the time of the playoffs, they have completely completed the transformation.

Like a net, it is airtight and tightly covered.

Lin Mo faced the encirclement and suppression of the three people, forcibly threw his hand, and hit the iron.

In normal times, even if three people are caught in the attack, Lin Mo has absolute confidence to blast the ball in.

But the intensity of the playoffs is not at all the same level as the regular season.

The three people were like growing on Lin Mo’s body, not giving him half a bit of space, and the basket could not be seen.

In the chaos, Da Yao and Ilgoskas grabbed the ball, and Da Yao pulled the ball out, just falling into Lin Mo’s hands.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was not in time, Lin Mo directly pulled up and jumped, and pulled the rod to hit the basket.

2:0!

Lin Mo took the lead in opening the situation.

At this time, the Knicks fans sat down with confidence.

Spike Lee on the sidelines was still standing, jumping up and down excitedly, clapping desperately, and the orange-red little hat on his head looked extremely bright.

“It’s a playoff game and it didn’t disappoint me.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Mo’s mouth.

Encountering the Cavaliers 4 times in the regular season, Lin Mo simply played as much as he wanted.

Any data is casually brushed, and there is no sweat after playing.

In the playoffs, the Cavaliers are like a different team, disciplined, tactically rigorous, and defensive.

This one offensive round alone made Lin Mo feel quite difficult.

The Cavaliers ball, James knocked Keith Van Horn away, and after a slight opening, was ready to strike.

Lin Mo followed like a ghost, rushing to James to make up for it.

The Cavaliers’ defensive intensity has increased, and the Knicks have become much crazier compared to the regular season.

Lin Mo’s body is in an excellent state, and with the help of defense, his enthusiasm has naturally increased a lot.

In the face of Lin Mo’s crazy defense, James could only pass the ball out.

Boozer received the ball, a roll-back jumper, and sent the ball into the basket above Milisic’s head.

Boozer’s small shot is still very stable, and he starts with a hot hand.

Looking back, Lin Mo cut to the bottom corner without a ball, and as soon as he got the ball, three people hit it.

James, Jeff McGinnis and Ila Newbell all surrounded and suppressed Lin Mo.

This is a good tactic that the Cavaliers have developed before the game.

Paul Silas knew that to defeat the mighty Knicks, it was only possible to strangle Lin Mo.

Therefore, at the beginning, the tactic of frantically attacking Lin Mo was adopted.

Even if it will properly empty the other players of the Knicks, it will not be spared.

Lin Mo was surrounded by three people and forced a three-point shot.

Milisic jumped high, grabbed the rebound from Boozer’s head, and threw it to the bottom line with a flamboyant backlash.

Lin Mo was lightning-like, and he rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, and hit the basket with one arm.

2 of 4, Knicks temporarily 4:2 Cavaliers.

The first 4 shots of the Knicks in the opening game were all done by Lin Mo.

Although he got a 50% shooting percentage, scoring was a bit too difficult.

James missed the layup, and Big Yao protected the rebound.

From this playoffs, you can see the power of the Knicks’ new signings.

Dayao and Milicic are on the defensive end and the protection of rebounds is very good.

The two men are young and energetic, and their physical performance will not be greatly affected.

And if it’s the skinny Kostomas and the old Uncle Mu, that’s almost interesting.

At the peak of Uncle Mu’s defensive ability, Da Yao and Milici Qijia were not comparable.

But who made him old?

The next two rounds ended with both sides hitting iron.

The first quarter played four minutes, and the score was still a terrible 4-2.

Coming to the playoffs, the two sides not only slowed down the pace of offense a lot, but also greatly reduced the shooting rate.

Of course, these are very normal rhythms.

In this kind of meat grinder competition, it is impossible to score points like chopping melons and cutting vegetables like in the regular season.
