I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 210 The third game in the defensive quagmire
Although the game between the Spurs and the Thunder on May 5 attracted a lot of attention because of Westbrook's remarks, people paid the most attention to the third game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles.

This time the Eagles returned to the home court, the whole team was united, not for anything else, just to fight for breath!

But the Cavaliers still defeated the Eagles 121:108, although it was only in the fourth quarter.

James, Irving and Love scored 20+ each, and James also got a triple-double.

But the team's best performer was Channing Frye, who scored 9 points with 7 of 27 three-pointers.

The Eagles never calculated that Channing Frye would become the key figure in the third game to help Jiang Mu's remarks come true.

After the game, Irving once again made fuel-fueled remarks.

"How? China Jiang comes from the mysterious East. I have read several online novels in the East. China Jiang must be a young man from a mysterious family. He seems to have glimpsed the cycle of heaven and can predict the short future! Now We are already 3:0, I believe that in the next game we will verify China Jiang's guess!"

"What? Of course! He can even predict the record of our Cavaliers, why can't he predict the Knicks' own series record? It will definitely be 4:1, although the two teams have only played two games now!"

There are two games scheduled for May 5th. Compared with the Knicks and Eagles, which are given predictive topics, the Warriors and Trail Blazers, which have a big gap in strength, are not very eye-catching. .

According to relevant data, the ratings of the third game between the Knicks and the Raptors once exceeded that of the NBA Finals in many years.

This time the home court became the home court of the Raptors.

The fans of the Raptors were very angry, and there were many indecent remarks on the scene.

"The Knicks will go home after Game 5!"

"Let that yellow little one go back to his eastern country!"

"The old Carmelo and the unweaned China Jiang!"

The Knicks players got the biggest booing since Jiang Mu entered the NBA.

Some young players on the Knicks are already mentally nervous. Before the game starts, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides have already come out.

Anthony has received a lot of booing in his career. Anthony, who has long been familiar with it, was a little worried about Jiang Mu, a rookie, but then thought of Jiang Mu's various performances, and felt that he was supercilious.

The Raptors put a lot of pressure on the Knicks at the beginning of the game. The Knicks not only had to face the fierce Raptors defense, but even had to face the impact of the entire Raptors home crowd.

Even older players seem to be suffering a bit.

The Knicks' shooting percentage in the first quarter was horrible. Even though Jiang Mu had the "undisturbed badge", the Raptors' defense against Jiang Mu was too strict.

But of course the Knicks won't just grab it without a fight. Since we can't play here and there's nothing we can do for a while, it's better to play defensively and let the Raptors fall into scoring difficulties.

Everyone watching the game between the Knicks and the Raptors seems to have returned to the NBA in the 80s. It was too much effort to score a goal.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks even led by one point at 39:38.

This is thanks to Jiang Mu's mid-range shot at the final buzzer with the badge.

Many fans of the Raptors couldn't accept being behind by 1 point at halftime. Just as the Knicks players were about to enter the tunnel after the first half, someone dropped a mineral water bottle and almost hit Jiang Mu on the head. superior.

The time and place of the midfielder passage are very sensitive to Jiang Mu. The Knicks players all know that Jiang Mu was injured in such a situation, and they were very angry for a while.

The Knicks, led by Anthony, even quarreled with fans who threw bottles.

Jiang Mu tried his best to hold Anthony and other teammates, and must not start a conflict. Once suspended, the Knicks' once-in-a-lifetime playoffs will come to a halt.

The impolite fan was invited out of the scene, and after the game, it was revealed that this person was banned from appearing in the arena for two years.

The Knicks players entering the dugout were visibly relieved.

Jiang Mu felt a little embarrassed, and planned to say a few words after Fisher finished summarizing the situation in the first half.

"That... Guys, I think I have to apologize, because these are all caused by my remarks, which made the game more difficult for no reason, but I promise, I will definitely let the Knicks advance! Please rest assured!"

The teammates fell into a brief silence. At this time, the boss of the locker room needs to express his opinion first, otherwise if other players do not know the direction of support, they will hurt the harmony and unity of the team if they make a mistake.

Anthony: "This is not possible! Promotion must be promoted, but you have to make sure that as you said, we have to win 4 games in a row before advancing! You must know that we are tied together now. If we don't do it, we will be together. Shame!"

Lopez: "That's right! What Carmelo means is what I mean! And what you said just now is wrong. This doesn't increase the difficulty of the game for no reason, boy, this is the playoffs! Now it's the Eastern Conference Semi-finals! Without what you said, do you think the people of Toronto would not put such a lot of pressure on us? But we didn’t hesitate, and basically returned it!”

Fisher came out in good time to end the subject.

"Don't think so much. We did the right thing in the first half. Since we didn't feel good, and since we were facing such a strict defense, then we should also adopt the same defensive attitude. At least we won't suffer. A game of bad luck! Continue to defend like this in the second half, but everyone on the field must make adjustments and find the feeling of scoring goals!"

"understand!"

The Raptors immediately scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. Lowry, who scored the goal, seemed very excited and shouted:
"This is my place!"

Lowry and Jiang Mu seemed to have forgotten their good friendship in private at the same time, and then Jiang Mu returned Lowry, and shouted excitedly:

"I'm here to mess things up!"

The game instantly became tense and intense, and the defensive actions of both sides became even bigger.

The referees who whistled for this game were quite strict with some penalty standards. They didn't want to be reprimanded by Adam Silver. The occurrence of fights at such a time of global attention will definitely have a very bad impact.

For a while, the players' actions shifted from the bright side to the dark side.

But the referee is not blind. After several consecutive fouls, the two teams restrained a little.

After the third quarter, the Knicks and the Raptors tied again 68:68.

What is even more surprising is the number of fouls.

For the Raptors, Lowry scored 5 times, DeRozan 4 times, Ibaka 4 times, Carroll 5 times, and Terrence Ross 4 times.

For the Knicks, among the main players, Jiang Mu, who usually averaged very few fouls per game, also received 4 fouls. Porzingis had the least 3 fouls, and Lopez also received 5 fouls.
