Time is on May 5th.

The opening day of the semi-finals.

There were no upsets in the first round of the playoffs, and the only one who could barely be considered unpopular was that the Mavericks were swept in the first round.

Actually, this is not a bad thing.

Although the Mavericks were the Western Conference champions last season, they did not consolidate their lineup during the offseason and did not make any more reinforcements. They just dismantled the east and the west.

For them, nothing can be removed except Nowitzki.

This season, they are more like a team that is scrambling to live.

There is also the Bulls. They are no longer favored by those who have lost Ross. With the efforts of others, they fought with the Celtics until the seventh game before losing.

Their performance is amazing, but it also makes people feel confused about the future of Wind City.

Can roses be reborn with fire? This is a question.

Then, it's the opening day of the semi-finals.

For this day, the Raptors waited for a long time.

The opponent in the semi-finals was the New York Knicks, and Anthony scored his best career performance this season.

Under his leadership, the Knicks defeated the Hawks in six games and successfully broke through.

Before the game started, Li Xing saw something strange on Calderon.

This is a disturbing strangeness. Li Xing didn't know what this was, and his intuition told him that this was not a good sign.

The bloody BUFF state means he may be injured today?

"Yes."

The system answered him.

"What is that?"

"Curse state, he is in a bad state tonight, maybe he has encountered something."

Li Xing walked to Calderon and asked, "Jose, are you okay?"

Calderon was in a daze, and Li Xing's question made him hesitate for a while. Then, he replied: "I'm fine, why do you ask like that?"

"Do you want to take a break?"

Calderon felt more and more that Li Xing really had some special abilities. He did have his own worries, but this was a private matter and he didn't want to affect others.

Even if Li Xing said this, he was very determined: "I'm fine, don't worry, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Haven't had a good sleep?

Li Xing also had many nights without sleeping well, but he had never been in such a state.

Since Calderon refused to say it, Li Xing would not force him.

Because the time has come, he will naturally say that there is no need to force him to do anything.

Even if he is in such a bad state, it doesn't mean that he will be 100% injured.

As long as you are careful, you can keep your injuries away from yourself.

Moreover, Calderon's game style is still very healthy.

He is not like Ross, who always breaks through to take care of the other person's feelings, and always makes him look like a beacon fire.

Calderon's game style is not that intense.

"This is the first game of the semi-finals, guys, take out all the energy and make the fans who come to the scene happy to go home!"

“lets  go!”

“Raptors!”

Everyone shouted slogans together, Li Xing took the lead in front, and all the players ran together.

The cheers from the stadium in the route center suddenly enveloped everyone, and the shouts of fans echoed, as if they could sublimate the heart.

Then, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Byron Davis walked over together.

This is the leader in New York.

Anthony has officially integrated into the Knicks this season. If you want to select the top superstar rankings in the league, where do people usually place Anthony? The top five are a bit too high; then between 10-20, it seems a bit too low. Yes, this is the positioning of Anthony's entire career.

Proficient in various offensive skills and physical talent that is not inferior to LeBron James makes Anthony a natural scoring machine. He likes all kinds of back-dance dance moves, and many skills that players can't learn throughout his life. He is ready in his rookie season.

He is really good at scoring, worthy of being one of the most powerful scoring machines in history.

After last season's All-Star Game, Anthony returned to his hometown as he wished and worked with Amal Stoudemire.

After failing to pursue LeBron James, New York finally had its own superstar combination. From the longest-time Willis Reed, Walter Fraser, Earl Monroe, Bernard King to later Patrick Ewing, the Knicks have always believed in superstars and big scenes, just like this city that best represents the United States, always believing in superstars and big scenes.

For New York, fans who have experienced the team's last championship have become the head of the family, and older ones are gray-haired and may not come to watch the game on site.

Every story about the New York Knicks will always end with a tragedy, but the city never gave up hope. Just like Spike Lee, the big director who has been sitting on the side of Madison Garden Square to support the team since the initial epic showdown between New York and Indiana and Chicago, is almost touching.

Therefore, Anthony joined forces with Stoudemire to lead the Knicks forward, and for fans, there is probably nothing more full of things than this.

Anthony finally stood in front of everyone, picked up the king's staff that should have belonged to him, and challenged the real king.

Li Xing was surrounded by DeRozan and Banyani. His eyes swept over Anthony and Stoudemire. Davis, who was declining in the rivers, was directly ignored by him.

Anthony is undoubtedly the most threatening offensive point for the Knicks, with a score of 94, which is only one point away from the superstar.

For DeRozan, this series will be a serious test.

Tony Allen is not good at defending Anthony's body, strength and skills, and the burden of defending him can only make DeRozan, Pondsett and Barnes take turns.

"Although our regular season record is far inferior to you, this is the playoffs, we will all look forward and will never lose to you, I promise!"

Anthony smiled frivolously, with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Stoudemire then said, "Melo, what you said is too simple, you should say that."

"The Raptors, wash your neck and wait for death!"

Stoudemire is very similar to the bosses in the story who are the villains in the story before they start fighting and are hurried out to scold and ask for the show.

But he is not a little brother at all, he is the number two of the Knicks.

Li Xing also noticed him, and he also had a rating of 90.

Leaving Nash, Stoudemire also ushered in the peak of his career.

However, Li Xing discovered that he had serious injuries.

His hidden dangers are different from those of Calderon. His hidden dangers have existed for a long time. Before, with the Suns, he was able to get out of minimally invasive knee surgery with his superb medical skills.

Now, he is still very healthy, but he just doesn't know when the disease will come to him.

"Let's see the truth on the field!"

Stoudemire had spoken, Li Xing felt that there was no need to answer, Banyani was too lazy to answer, and DeRozan was afraid of embarrassment between the two sides, so he answered casually.

"The players from both sides are doing the final warm-up, and the game tonight will determine a lot!"

Quincy Angus simply broadcasts pre-match highlights in the commentary seat.

His partner also has a lot of connection with the Knicks, or it is a bad fate.

His name is Isaiah Thomas, former Knicks coach, general manager, and the creator of a series of New York tragedies.

As a player, few people can achieve the achievements of the Smiling Assassin. Just beating the "God and Demon Bird" at the same time is enough to be arrogant in the world.

As a coach and general manager, his years in New York are a textbook-like pit.

After retiring, the Smiling Assassin, like many famous NBA stars, did not want to leave the NBA arena just like this, so he chose to continue to play his "remaining heat" in the team's management and coach positions.

However, he obviously did not have that talent, especially in New York, when Thomas made the Knicks "crazy" and eventually he could only "split up" with the team.

To this day, New York basketball fans still regard Thomas as a sinner.

Now that the Assassin has been moving to comment on his commentary for many years, fans can't forgive him. It can be imagined how hated his "performance" back then.

Today, the first-row seats of the route center exclusively belonging to the Witch Group also sat in more than double-digit audiences.

Starting from Theron on the far left, there are 11 people.

They were fully armed, and Theron gave the order and cheered for Li Xing together.

Just imagine, you are both men and basketball players, why can you have a double-digit girlfriend, but we can only hold a flower alone? Why?

Before the game started, Li Xing felt full of malice from his teammates.

"Stay away from me," Evans said disgusted.

Wherever Li Xing went, his teammates quietly retreated, wishing to distance him ten meters away, which proved that he was not an ordinary person and could not compare to them.

Li Xing was very sad. He didn't expect his cute teammates to treat him like this.

A funny scene happened. Li Xing ran to the Knicks with the ball to practice shooting, and the audience was anxious to shout.

"Rachy, I'm wrong!"
