I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 218 Promotion of the Knicks and Thunder

Although DeRozan and Lowry made shots one after another in the third quarter, the Raptors also hit an 8:0 offensive shock wave, briefly reducing the score to 4 points.

But Anthony first made a three-pointer through the pick-and-roll, and then received an assist from Jiang Mu's backcourt. One step away from the three-point line, he hit another three-pointer.

This is not over yet, Anthony, who felt the fiery touch, made another three-pointer like the performance in the three-point feast in the Olympics, and he still hit it!

First, he was beaten 8:0, and Anthony responded with a 9:0 alone, and the Raptors were stunned.

Coach Casey called a timeout at the right time, and after the restart, Anthony was given special care. He missed a three-pointer, which was equivalent to interrupting the fiery touch.

But Jiang Mu felt a little more relaxed because of this, and the hand feeling slowly returned.

In the second half of the third quarter, Jiang Mu changed his previous sluggish state and scored 12 points from inside and outside shots.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had widened the point difference to 89 points with 74:15.

The Raptors looked powerless in the fourth quarter.

Although the Raptors players headed by DeRozan and Lowry tried their best, they still did not stop this defeat.

The Knicks finally defeated the Raptors 112:99 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a score of 4:1 in the series!
Zhang Weiping: "Let's congratulate Jiang Mu and congratulate the Knicks for reaching the Eastern Conference Finals! This is the best result our players have achieved in the NBA! It's really exciting. We can imagine how much Jiang Mu, who led the team, felt in his heart." Happy!"

O'Neill: "Sure enough, it was really predicted by China Jiang, which added a lot of legendary color. I still don't know how he could guess it. Now that I think about it, maybe there is only one thing for sure, that That is, he must have confidence in his own strength!"

Barkley: "It's really unbelievable! But the Knicks who entered the Eastern Conference finals are really amazing and deserve congratulations. Let us congratulate the New Yorkers together!"

Post-match interviews, media room!

Reporter: "Jiang! It's really unbelievable. How did you predict 4 consecutive victories? You really did it!"

Jiang Mu: "Actually, this is not a prediction. It's like I said I would eat breakfast for four consecutive days. I will do it and then do it. It's that simple! But to be honest, I just hate failure, so I'm a little angry Composition, more to cheer for myself, or to set goals for myself! Although I have the confidence to lead the team to advance, but winning 4 games in a row is indeed a bit overstated. After all, the tenacity of the Raptors is obvious to all! We also occupy Some luck, if luck is not on our side, the Raptors can win at least three games, that is to say, the probability of our two teams advancing is actually [-]-[-] points!"

Reporter: "You are really an amazing person, you shouldn't be called the devil, maybe we should call you God!"

Jiang Mu: "No, no, no! The people there don't believe in God! We only believe in ourselves!"

Reporter: "What do you think about the next series, which is the Eastern Conference Finals against LeBron's Cavaliers? Or will you predict anything in advance?"

Jiang Mu thought for a while.

"No! I can't predict anything, because the Cavaliers are a team with the ability to win the championship. After all, as long as there is LeBron in the team, then this team can guarantee at least the lower limit of the conference finals! What's more, they have Kyrie And Kevin, two giants!"

Reporter: "We all hope that you can predict something, otherwise we always feel that something is missing. After all, because of your prediction, this round of the series has become much more exciting than previous years."

Jiang Mu laughed out loud.

It can't be said that the Thunder will win consecutively and advance, and then enter the tiebreaker with the Warriors, right?

The gimmick will definitely be enough, but it also offended the three teams of the Spurs, Warriors and Thunder.

It is definitely not happy to say that the Thunder will advance to the Spurs 4:2!

It is said that the Warriors eliminated the Thunder 4:3, and the Thunder would definitely not be happy.

Even the Warriors are probably not happy. They only lost 82 games in 9 games in the regular season. Now they lose three games in 7 games?

Who do you look down on?
The next day, May 5, the only inconclusive series was played at the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Game 12 of the two-team series.

If the Thunder win, it will verify Westbrook's remarks.

People also want to see whether the Warriors will meet the traditional powerhouse Spurs or the dynamic and talented Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

The rhythm of the game still seems to be the rhythm of the Spurs, and it seems that every team will fall into their rhythm when they encounter the Spurs.

In fact, the Spurs and the Thunder have a lot of history.

The Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals in the 2013-2014 season, but were eliminated by the Spurs at that time.

Last season (2014-2015 season), the Thunder were plagued by injuries and failed to even make the playoffs.

The Spurs in the away game did not go well in the first quarter. Popovich even adjusted the regular lineup, but the effect was not good.

With 3 minutes and 57 seconds left in the first quarter, the Spurs led 19-13, but Westbrook made consecutive shots and Durant also succeeded consecutively. The Thunder ended the first quarter with a wave of 12-0, leading to a 25- 19 out of the Spurs.

With 4 minutes and 08 seconds left in the second quarter, Leonard made a mid-range shot, and the Spurs trailed only 29-38. Only hit one shot.

The Thunder blossomed inside and outside. With 2.3 seconds left in the second quarter, Durant hit a three-pointer. After they shot 17-2, they took a 55-31 lead.

In the first half, the Spurs made 8 of 0 three-pointers, only 5 assists, and only 2 points from the bench.

雷霆三分球11投4中，助攻12次，替补得到6分，在篮板上以25-22占优势。

More importantly, the Thunder shot close to 50 percent, while the Spurs made only 45 of 14 shots, or 31 percent.

The Spurs stepped up their offense in the second half, but they were still helpless on defense, and the gap between the two sides was still widening.

With 10 minutes and 43 seconds left in the third quarter, the Thunder had extended their advantage to 27 points.

After three quarters, the Spurs trailed 65-91.

In the last quarter, the Spurs even sent veteran Andre Miller, but this does not mean that they have disarmed, and the core players are still on the court.

Duncan apparently convinced Popovich, and after the two talked for a while, Popovich agreed that Duncan would continue playing.

The Spurs' defense improved, starting the fourth quarter with a wave of 12-3. With 7 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game, Duncan hit a hook and the Spurs chased the score to 77-94, forcing the Thunder to call a timeout.

With 4 minutes and 09 seconds left in the game, Danny Green hit a three-pointer. After that, he caused a malicious foul by Westbrook in the fast break, but the Spurs only scored 1 point in two free throws and fell behind 88-99.

The Spurs had a chance to narrow the gap to single digits, but with 3 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game, Duncan tried to dunk vigorously after being unmarked, but was blocked. Leading 101-88.

Westbrook became the last person to kill the game. With 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in the game, he hit a three-pointer. After that, he made a layup and the Thunder opened the gap 106-90.

Although the Spurs fought until the last moment, it was too late and finally accepted the defeat, and the journey of this season came to an end.

After two years, the Thunder made a comeback and avenged it.
