The Knicks team returned to the hotel to rest after the game. It was already 1:00 a.m. After the game, the players attended the press conference and had no intention of celebrating at nightclubs.

In addition to being physically tired, New York players were also lying in the hospital without knowing whether they died. This made the Knicks team excited and had some worries while winning.

The price of winning this game is a bit high, and the Knicks' bench lineup is not very deep. The lack of Gallinari will have a great impact on D'Antoni's rotation.

Espn reported after the game

The NBA playoffs continued, the Knicks won three consecutive games to win match points, and the Big Apple made all the self-righteous experts lose their glasses. When you look at the young players in their roster, can you think that they made the Hawks lose the game at home and make the fans yell the slogan "Larry Drew out" in anger?

The Hawks' poor performance also made their head coach Larry Drew fidget. After the game, Phillips's stadium shouted to get him out of class. If the young coach couldn't pass the Knicks level, he might not appear on the sidelines next season.

In this game, the Hawks used their advantage on the defensive end to suppress the Knicks, but they also paid too much fouls on the defensive end. Until the storm changed at the end of the third quarter, the problem of the weak substitute lineup appeared again, and the team's offense also had problems. The Knicks took the opportunity to counterattack, and the players hit shots one after another, quickly narrowed the score gap and overtaken.

The Knicks are still in a disadvantageous position in terms of shooting percentage, rebounding, etc. today, but they use their own characteristics to make a fuss about three-pointers and breakthroughs. The Knicks made 13 of 30 shots in the game, while the Hawks made only 3 of 12 shots.

The Knicks also strengthened their breakthrough and offensive aggressiveness, which also made them very effective. The Knicks, who played away from home, received 29 free throw opportunities, and they got points at the free throw line. Although the Hawks who played at home have the advantage of the inside, they are obviously not strong enough in the offense. They only got 14 free throw opportunities, which is also an important reason why the Hawks lost at home.

The New Yorkers are currently leading the Hawks 3:2. This gives them hope to advance to the second round of the playoffs. From the 99-00 season to this season, the Knicks have only reached the playoffs once in 10 years and were eliminated in the first round. The last time they reached the second round of the playoffs was in the era of Alan Houston, Ratrill Sprewell and Patrick Ewing. Now New York fans have once again seen hopes for the team to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Hugo, Iguodala and David Lee are the new tridents of the Knicks, who are becoming more mature and confident. Although Hugo is only 20 years old, the young rookie shocked the entire league as early as the beginning of the season, and he has become the leader of the league's under-22 players.

Hugo is not a traditional organizational defender, his attack ability is very strong. In today's game, his shooting percentage was not very good, but he still created many fouls through his aggressive breakthrough. Hugo, who contributed 37 points in the whole game, scored consecutive points at a critical moment in the third quarter to help the team overtake the score. He was only a little short of completing the four consecutive games of 40+ in the playoffs.

Now it is close to the second round of the playoffs that has broken its 10-year history, but the young player is still very calm after the game. Hugo emphasized at the post-match press conference: "We still need to maintain fighting spirit and aggressiveness now. The pressure is not on our side now, we must maintain our desire to win."

The next afternoon, Gallinari, who looked unlucky, came to the airport to meet with the team. In addition to his ugly face, the Italians looked in a bad spirit.

After asking, Emperor Wu found out that Gallinari's preliminary diagnosis in the hospital was "a right shoulder rotator cuff tear". Although the injury has not been confirmed to be as good as it is, he can tell that 80% of it was a muscle tissue tear, and only such injuries will always be painful, and they usually have to undergo repair surgery. Gallinari's season has been reimbursed by 80% of it.

However, this guy is quite professional and has not taken strong painkillers. He has been in pain since he was so painful that he has not closed his eyes, so he looks so depressed.

Generally, drugs with strong pain relief effects must have side effects that damage nerves and addictiveness, which are even more harmful to athletes. Those pain relief drugs with low side effects are not good. Many players simply endure it after being injured and do not take pain relief drugs.

Knicks players all know that life is not easy after being injured, and they praise Garlinari for being a manly man, and he is really a "tough guy"...

However, after boarding the plane, Gallinari quickly revealed his true colors. This guy actually took out his dama and started to fight himself... It was not that he did not take painkillers. Instead, he knew that the pain relief effect of striking grass was better, which was shameless.

Emperor Wu really wanted to slap him, so it would be better to take painkillers.

What's even more annoying is that these grasses were provided by his boss. James Dolan's nickname of "brainless" was indeed not for nothing. He could do such an outrageous thing as dama to his players.

The Knicks players browsed today's reports on the plane. Of course, they are not afraid of watching the news when winning. Who wouldn't like to be praised?

Da Bendan of the Los Angeles Times mentioned a topic that attracted many fans, saying: "If the Knicks scored in the second round, is McGrady still considered a first-round virgin? This is a funny question. In my opinion, he is still a first-round virgin, because even if the Knicks advanced, they have nothing to do with him."

McGrady was also on the plane. He was a little fat. Even compared to the McGrady who just traded, he is much fatter now. But he is still the McGrady who always squints his eyes. His hair and beard are very well trimmed, and he looks like a celebrity fan when sitting in the special plane.

Not long ago, McGrady said in a talk show that "the blow to him by injury is devastating, and he has almost lost his enthusiasm for basketball." Yesterday, McGrady also accepted some reporters' reports after the game. Although D'Antoni did not send him on the court in the last two games, McGrady still expressed her confidence in the team's promotion: "I am very confident that the team will meet the Cavaliers in the first round in the Eastern Conference Finals. If the Lakers or the Spurs play in the finals, I don't think the Cavaliers can win, and I don't even think they can beat my Knicks in a seven-game series. I'm so confident."

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers easily took the Bucks away at home. Although Jennings scored 28 points, they did not pose too much threat to the Cavaliers. Many fans have always believed that the Cavaliers rely on LeBron alone. This sentence is barely valid on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the Cavaliers are much stronger than the Knicks and the Bucks. In the game, usually the lower the score between the two teams, the more the Cavaliers have James' benefits.

The Celtics did not give the Bobcats too many opportunities at home. The four giants without injuries have completely figured out the Bobcats' background. After five games, the Charlottes could no longer come up with new tricks. The Celtics suppressed their opponents in the whole game and successfully won two match points.

In this way, after five games in the first round of the East and West playoffs, three teams have advanced first.

Lakers (4) vs (2) Thunder in the Western Conference; Mavericks (2) vs (3) Spurs; Suns (3) vs (2) Trail Blazers; Nuggets (2) vs (3) Jazz.

Eastern Division Cavaliers (4) vs (1) Bucks; Magic (4) vs (0) Heat; Hawks (2) vs (3) Knicks; Celtics (3) vs (2) Bobcats.

If the Knicks can enter the next round, their opponents will be waiting for them in front of them. Orlando Magic is the only team to sweep their opponents in the first round this year. They can't wait to teach the New Yorkers a hard lesson. Who told the Knicks to treat them as soft persimmons before the start of the playoffs? Now, we have to see who is soft persimmons?

There is only one day off between the fifth and sixth games in the first round, and the Knicks will face the Hawks again on the 30th. New York fans are worried about whether their players can stay in shape.

Many fans know that a player often has a super magical game in the first game, but becomes a bad person in the next game. In addition to the opponent's targeted defense, there are some other reasons, such as the carnival after being carried out after being proud of his condition, which may sound incredible, but it often appears in the NBA.

Some people in the United States like to enjoy the present. They think that life should be free and do whatever they want. So when they are proud, they will hang out with wine, fight against grass, and have a love party. These are common things.

This depravity in Europe and the United States improved after it became popular in the 1960s and 1970s, but some people still advocated such a life, especially black people who were originally from poor origins, who could easily get lost in the world of flowery life once they had money, and their self-discipline was generally very low.

Emperor Wu is not interested in such a life. Not only that, he also has high requirements for his teammates. The "ban on entertainment" he issued before the start of the playoffs is rare in NBA history, with the purpose of making his teammates not too indulgent during the playoffs.

In the regular season, he turned a blind eye to these things, and he had no right to interfere in other people's lives. However, during the playoffs, Wu Huang could never allow players to quarrel and go to nightclubs to have fun. Even if many media have always said that his "entertainment ban" was arrogant and domineering, Wu Huang still firmly implemented it in the team.

He knew very well that even if he had perverted physical recovery ability like himself, if he worked too much overtime at night, he would only play three quarters the next day, and his feet would be weak in the fourth quarter. If he would fight with wine and grass like them, he would be weak in the first half of the next day, and it would be strange if he didn't turn into a blacksmith.

The Knicks' management has learned the painful lessons from the previous group of cancer players. Only when rebuilding, they will choose professional players Iguodala, David Lee, Danny Green and Wu Huang are all players who rarely go to nightclubs. They are more self-disciplined, and it is precisely because of them taking the lead that the Knicks' atmosphere will be completely renewed.
