On April 24ri, the last journey of the 2011-2012 season finally started after the regular season. Due to the shrinking season, the time for players to rest was squeezed out from the cracks of their nails.

After the playoffs begin, all teams will start to experience a compact schedule of two days and one game. This situation will continue until the third round of the game before returning to normal.

However, between the regular season and the playoffs, the league official still allowed the teams entering the playoffs to get about the same rest time. Although the time in less than six days is not comparable to the usual one-week holiday, the league really can't arrange it.

The shrinking season disrupts all plans, so naturally everything can be done simply and quickly. Otherwise, this year will be the Olympic year. If the finals only start in June, then the ratings may be greatly reduced.

After all, the Olympics will start in August. If the finals are not held until July, then there is no doubt that when countries have already started preparing for the Olympics, the theme of various sports channels will definitely not be to report the NBA finals in blockbusters, but to various countries for the preparations for the upcoming London Olympics.

The shrinking season is coming to the Olympic Year again, no wonder the NBA official is a little busy. Besides, during the Olympics, the Dream Team, which has attracted much attention from the world, naturally needs to be screened from the league. If there is not enough preparation time, if the Dream Team makes another trip to Athens in 2004, it will really make the world laugh!

This is definitely the place that both the US Basketball Association and the NBA officials are most reluctant to see. After all, it is the largest basketball country in the world. Of course, the United States hopes that they can stand out in all the world's major competitions, just like the strong military power of the United States!

Therefore, we can only aggrieved the players in the league.

The 2012 first-round series match between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks attracted more than just the attention of fans and media from Cleveland and New York. At the same time, far away from the other side of the Pacific, there are naturally many Chinese fans who have attracted enough attention to the showdown in this series.

Yao Ming is destined to be unable to participate in the London Olympics, so naturally, Wu Dawei became the only hope for Chinese fans in this Olympics!

Chinese fans hope that Wu Dawei can take on the responsibility that Yao Ming once took on the Chinese team to support the sky of this Eastern power team so that they will not lose Yao Ming and perform thousands of feet in the World Championships.

Although there are two players in China playing in the NBA, for Yi Jianlian, who basically cannot play in Dallas, with Wu Dawei, the Chinese ball fans will of course put more hope on Wu Dawei, who is currently the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wu Dawei's 30+10+7+4+3 data this season has made Chinese fans feel that the chance of glorifying their ancestors has increased greatly. Even Yao Ming at his peak has never obtained such terrifying data.

Therefore, in addition to the attention of fans from both Americans, the Cleveland Cavaliers' home game against the New York Knicks held on April 24, it is the most concerned by Chinese fans.

China zhongyāng TV station sent a team of reporters before the start of this round of series to allow all Chinese fans to obtain the situation and information from the scene as soon as possible.

Although it is only the first round of the series, the attention is still very high. After all, it has entered the playoffs now, and the theme of winning or going home has remained unchanged for a century, which is why people are always very interested in the elimination capital of the playoffs.

Although in most people's opinion, there is actually not much suspense in the first round series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks. The strong strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers fully guarantees that they can pass the first round.

However, some supporters of the New York Knicks believe that the Knicks are not completely out of the way in this series. After all, New York has a strong enough lineup on the books. Although they have lost Jeremy Lin, a defender who broke out in the middle of the season, the lineup composed of Cameron Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler and JR Smith, makes people always ignite a glimmer of hope.

No matter how painful rude they experienced in the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Wu Dawei, their huge fame is always affecting people's views and opinions about them.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the "luxury lineup" formed by these stars that even the head coach of the team, Mike D'Anthony, who knows the strength of this team best, has some upset hopes.

After all, no one will just surrender, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still a team that has had a deep grudge against the New York Knicks in the past two seasons. If it weren't for the last resort, how could the New Yorkers willingly become the stepping stone for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship?

So even if there is only a slight hope, they will do their best to fight in this round of series.

Moreover, the New York Knicks also have enough reasons to fight in this round of the game that the outside world thinks they have no hope. Cameron Anthony does not want everyone to think that he is just a piece of flies in front of Wu Dawei, and Amare Stoudemire hopes to have a very outstanding performance to let everyone know that he is the core of this team. JR Smith, who has been newly promoted to the New York Knicks, hopes to avenge Wu Dawei's love for a good-looking revenge in the last match between the two sides!

Although this round of series that was filled with smoke before the start of the game was considered a duel of great strength by the outside world, it was also full of gimmicks.

However, no matter how good the gimmick is, or how ambitions the New Yorkers are, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have one idea about this round of series, that is, to win the New York Knicks as soon as possible. Although it has not been said in public, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers do not think that the New York Knicks can cause any difficulties to the Cleveland Cavaliers in this round of series.

Their strength on the books is the frightening paper tiger. Everyone can see the New York Knicks' record this season. If their strength is really as strong as on the books, then at least the bottom line should be the top four in the East, rather than being in the sixth position, they feel trembling when facing their opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

This should be commonly known as the pseudo-strong team.

On April 24ri, the first game of the first round of the playoffs that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time will be launched in the entire league, and the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks are also among them.

In the evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers' home speed loan center in Cleveland began to rush. Cleveland fans quickly sat the Cavaliers' home court.

The reporters have been staying at the Quick Loan Center since the daytime. Although everyone knows what players will say when they encounter interviews with reporters; before the start of this game, there were still a large number of reporters squatting in the underground parking lot. Every reporter wants to listen to the players, coaches and even officials of the two teams before the start of this long game.

There is no doubt that the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers are full of confidence in this. After all, they are the strong side, the side with a record, and will also be the side who will be at home tonight. They will have hysterical cheers from 20,000 fans on the scene in the game tonight.

As for the New York Knicks who play away, of course, some people will cheer for them. Not all of them are in TV series, computers, and in the Quick Loan Center tonight, there will also be people cheering for their performance.

That is, the loyal fans of the New York Knicks who came to Cleveland, the great director Spike Lee, Spike Lee had already booked tickets on the side of the Quick Loan Center before the start of this round of series. As a loyal fan of the Knicks, basically as long as the Knicks appear, Spike Lee will follow!

However, even with such a loyal fan, in most people's opinion, the New York Knicks will still be in danger in this game on April 24ri. This is the playoffs. As a favorite to win the championship, it is obviously impossible for the New York Knicks to give too many opportunities!

At the door of their home, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely show their strength and use a refreshing victory to open a brilliant curtain for their playoff journey this season!

So in the interview, the fans of the New York Knicks were almost cautious, while the Cleveland Cavaliers were all confident. In this game, there was already a difference in confidence between the two sides, not to mention that in most people, there was a huge gap in their objective strength!

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are determined to win this season, April 24ri is the real starting point for their entry into the Finals! Starting today and until June, they will continue to win the coveted trophy! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
