The Knicks defeated the Miami Heat 105-95 at home.

In this Wade played 45 minutes, shooting 10-for-20, scoring 36 points, 5 assists, 10 rebounds, and making 16 of 21 free throws.

In this game, Wade had a breakout performance. His 21 free throws showed that the referees were not biased towards the Knicks, but rather towards the Miami Heat.

But even with a sixth man, the Miami Heat still couldn't stop the Knicks led by Li Chen.

In this game, Li Chen played 46 minutes, making 15 of 25 field goals, scoring 48 points and dishing out 16 assists, including 7 of 9 three-pointers and 11 of 11 free throws.

Odom had a good game with 20 points. Wang Zhizhi 16 points, and the other players all scored around 10 points.

Meanwhile, the Western Conference Finals were incredibly intense, with the Dallas Mavericks and the Lakers tied 3-3, forcing a decisive Game 7.

At the start of the first quarter, both teams raced across the court, vying for control of the basket.

The Lakers performed admirably, holding their defense tight and successfully limiting the Dallas Mavericks' scoring in the paint.

With excellent teamwork and accurate shooting, they maintained their lead.

However, the Dallas Mavericks did not give up, and they continued to fight back with three-pointers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Dallas Mavericks by two points, 28-26.

Entering the second quarter, both teams maintained high concentration, and the coaches showcased their coaching methods, especially the legendary coach Phil Jackson.

His strategic planning allowed the Lakers' offensive tactics to pour down like a torrential downpour, putting immense pressure on the Dallas Mavericks.

Their defense was also very solid, which limited the Dallas Mavericks' scoring opportunities.

However, Yao Ming was unexpectedly injured during the game, which undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Lakers.

Losing Yao Ming, a key inside player, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson had to adjust his strategy. He reluctantly brought in Kwame Brown, a draft bust, but Kwame Brown's abilities are worlds apart from Yao Ming's.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks seized the opportunity and gradually closed the gap.

As the third and fourth quarters progressed, the two sides engaged in fierce competition.

Kobe and Nowitzki led their respective teams in attacks against each other, striving to seize every scoring opportunity.

The Lakers held firm on their defense, while the Dallas Mavericks pressed forward relentlessly.

The match became a stalemate, and at one point the score was tied.

In order to reach the NBA Finals, both sides intensified their offense and defense.

Kobe was eager to face off against Li Chen in the NBA Finals, and his burning desire led him to hit a Dallas Mavericks -tying three-pointer on the final possession, sending the game into overtime.

Entering overtime, the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks engaged in an even more intense battle.

Kobe lost Yao Ming player with a significant height advantage in the paint.

He found himself in a predicament where he was often surrounded by two or even three people.

He passed the ball to Kwame Brown, but his shots consistently disappointed Kobe, forcing Kobe to become the Black Mamba.

Kobe Bryant displayed incredible prowess, leading the Lakers into a second overtime.

However, without help, Kobe ultimately failed to replicate his magic.

The Lakers ultimately lost to the Dallas Mavericks 118-121, failing to reach the NBA Finals.

The result of this game was regrettable. The Lakers played two overtime periods against the Dallas Mavericks despite Yao Ming's injury, but ultimately lost.

At the same time, Phil Jackson knew that Yao Ming's current weight was a very serious problem. Yao Ming had to lose weight this summer.

Meanwhile, Li Chen is currently very Heat, practicing three-pointers with David Lee and Louis Williams.

The two didn't refuse; on the contrary, they were very happy. This is typical of low draft picks; they often have a more resilient character than high draft picks.

Because they don't have the resources to squander, they can only work hard, work harder and harder, in order to make a name for themselves in the NBA.

Li Chen didn't expect them to have any outstanding performance in the NBA Finals; he only hoped that the two of them could improve their three-point shooting next season.

Smack! Li Chen slapped Louis Williams on the back of the head, then yelled, "Louis, raise your arm! A proper shooting motion is one of the conditions for improving your shooting percentage!"

Louis Williams winced as he was hit, giving Li Chen a resentful look. He thought to himself, "Our boss usually seems so kind, but he's like a completely different person during training. He's too strict."

At the same time, Li Chen glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? You don't like it?"

Louis Williams hurriedly shook his head.

Seeing Louis Williams pecking at rice like a chicken, he nodded in satisfaction, then looked at David Lee, who was doing physical training on the other side, and nodded as well.

On June 9, the Knicks hosted the Dallas Mavericks, kicking off the 2005-2006 NBA NBA Finals.

The game was held at the AT&T Center in Dallas.

The massive stadium, capable of holding nearly 20,000 people, was bustling with activity.

On the LED screen hanging above the stadium, the names of the two teams kept changing colors, with green and blue intertwining, creating a visual feast.

Knicks' starting lineup

Point Guard Li Chen.

Shooting guard Lou Williams.

Small Forward Odom.

Power Forward David Lee.

Center Wang Zhizhi.

Alvin Gentry still fielded the same lineup that defeated the Miami Heat.

David Lee and Louis Williams' aggressiveness and fighting spirit on the court earned Alvin Gentry's approval.

Of course, Li Chen's recommendation played the vast majority of the role in this.

The Dallas Mavericks' starting lineup is also quite strong.

Point Guard Harris.

Shooting guard Horry.

Small Forward Dampier.

Power Forward Nowitzki.

Center Josh Howard.

As one of the league's best international players, Nowitzki has always earned the recognition of Dallas Mavericks fans with his accurate shooting and excellent Rebounding Ability.

This is also his first year leading a team to the NBA Finals the sole core player.

Li Chen's random S-rank Skill in this match is [Iron Wall and Bronze Barrier].

He then began equipping himself with the following skills: [Unrestrained], [Assist Master], [Co-defense Master], [Pull-up Jumper], and [Miracle Shot].

After the match began, both teams immediately launched a fierce offensive.

Li Chen, with his excellent court vision and outstanding teamwork, scored consecutive points, giving the Knicks the lead.

However, the Mavericks did not lose heart. The interior duo of Nowitzki and Howard put up a good defensive play under the basket, grabbing defensive rebounds one after another and bringing the score back.

The first quarter ended with the score tied at 28.

In the second quarter, both sides traded blows, neither giving an inch.

Wang Zhizhi of the Knicks received consecutive brilliant passes from Li Chen in the paint and scored repeatedly, giving the Knicks the lead again.

However, the Mavericks were not to be outdone. Horry, who had an outstanding performance against his former Lakers, started to shine, hitting three consecutive three-pointers to take the lead.

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Knicks 52-50.

After switching sides, the two sides entered a stalemate.

With his rich experience in the game, the movement speed bonus from [Co-defense Master], and the [Iron Wall and Bronze Barrier] trait, Li Chen was able to stop the Mavericks 'Mavericks offense every time, successfully suppressing their performance.

Led by Nowitzki and Howard, the Mavericks capitalized on their inside advantage, maintaining a defensive counter-attacking strategy.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Mavericks by a narrow margin of 75-73.

In the final decisive quarter, both sides displayed an extremely strong desire to win.

With one minute remaining in the match, the score was tied at 95.

At a crucial moment, Li Chen stepped up once again, leading the Knicks on a 9-3 run thanks to his individual ability and unwavering will.

The Knicks finally took a six-point lead over the Mavericks, 104-98, with one minute remaining in the game.

As the final buzzer sounded, the Knicks players cheered, having successfully defeated the Dallas Mavericks 108-101 in their first game.

Nowitzki played 44 minutes in this game, shooting 14-for-21, scoring 30 points, 6 assists, 14 rebounds, and 6-for-8 from the free-throw line.

Josh Howard played 40 minutes, shooting 10-for-19 for 29 points, including 3-for-5 from three-point range and 6-for-10 from the free-throw line.

These two players performed exceptionally well, but they still couldn't turn the tide against the Knicks.

In this game, Li Chen played 47 minutes, shooting 18-for-30, scoring 49 points, 10 assists, and 3 rebounds, including 6-for-10 from three-point range and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.

Li Chen almost single-handedly turned the tide of the match.

Los Angeles.

Kobe was somewhat frustrated after watching the game. He had also scored 45 points in the previous Game 7, but they still lost.

What struck him as odd was that whenever Li Chen didn't perform well, his teammates would always step up and help him out.

And what about himself? Apart from Yao Ming, none of his teammates stepped up when his shooting touch dropped. Fuck, what's going on?

Yes, Kobe was really upset. If Yao Ming hadn't been injured, and if his teammates had scored a few more points in the second overtime, the Lakers would definitely have made it to the NBA Finals.

Could it be that, as that bastard Li Chen said, I really have a problem with my character?

For a time, Kobe was gripped by self-doubt.

Fuck, God! How could I have such a thought? My character, Kobe Bryant's, is absolutely flawless.

Kobe quickly banished the absurd thought from his mind.

The next day, Li Chen received an unexpected yet perfectly logical phone call.

The caller was Michael Jackson. He was calling mainly to thank Li Chen for helping him with his insomnia.

A moment later, Li Chen hung up MJ's call. He smiled slightly; a life for a life, they were even.

In the ensuing Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the Knicks played inconsistently and lost the game. In Games 3 and 4, the Knicks won two straight at home, taking a 3-1 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the series.

In Game 5, the Dallas Mavericks secured another home victory, NBA Finals into a crucial Game 6.

Li Chen's random S-rank Skill in this match is [Breakthrough Master].

This skill has appeared several times this season, increasing finishing ability by 20% when breaking through defenses.

This finishing ability is incomparable to shooting percentage; accuracy can vary depending on factors such as the player's defensive intensity and attitude.

But this finishing ability is similar to real damage in online games, ignoring the player's defense.

[Assist Master], [Co-defense Master], [Pull-up Jumper], [Fancy], [Miracle Shot].

The Knicks' defense isn't great right now, so Li Chen can't go all out on offense.

However, next season will be better, because there are several big bargains to be found in the 2006 NBA draft.

After the game started, the Knicks won the jump ball, a rare occurrence.

After gaining possession of the ball, Li Chen quickly broke through to attack, pouncing on the Dallas Mavericks' basket like a tiger.

He was as agile as a leopard and as skilled as a lion.

He dribbled like the wind, moving swiftly across the field as if no one could stop him. Every turn and every pause was accompanied by an unpredictable rhythm.

With his excellent dribbling and penetration skills, he made life very difficult for the Dallas Mavericks' defense.

However, the Dallas Mavericks did not give in to Li Chen's aggressive offense.

Like tenacious bullfighters, they tenaciously defended their basket.

The players threw themselves into defense, trying to stop Li Chen's fierce attack.

The paint area became the battleground for the fierce competition between the two sides.

The players' constant shoving and collisions with Li Chen within the confined space, accompanied by the screams of the fans, created an aesthetic of muscular clashes.

In this fierce battle, Li Chen's abilities were fully demonstrated. His physical strength far exceeded everyone's expectations. Only then did everyone realize that Li Chen was not only outstanding in three-point shooting, but his layup was no less impressive than his three-point shot.

Finally, Li Chen fought his way through the Dallas Mavericks' paint and put the basketball into the basket.

The Knicks won their opening game 2-0.

Next, the Dallas Mavericks retaliated with a Nowitzki Golden Rooster Independence.

The score is tied again at 2-2.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Dallas Mavericks 23-22.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Mavericks 52-43, a nine-point advantage.

Everything is moving in a positive direction, and if things continue like this, the Knicks should be able to successfully defend their title.

At this moment, Knicks fans wore happy smiles.

But as the saying goes, anything can happen. After the start of the second half, the Dallas Mavericks were on fire.

They erased the score difference from the first half in just half a quarter.

But this is not the end, it's just the beginning.

Although Li Chen tried his best to reverse the Knicks' decline in the third quarter, they were still three points behind the Dallas Mavericks when the third quarter ended.

With the game entering the final quarter, the Knicks, like a sleeping lion, launched a counterattack.

However, the Dallas Mavericks kept the score close.

With only 30 seconds left in the game, the score was 88-88.

The Dallas Mavericks have possession of the ball.

At this crucial moment, Alvin Gentry called a timeout.

In a domestic live streaming room.

Sun Zhengping said, "This timeout was called very timely."

"Although Alvin Gentry is suspected of riding on Chen's coattails, his coaching skills have clearly improved significantly after several seasons of experience," Zhang Weiping said scathingly.

Sun Zhengping shook his head, then continued his analysis, "Compared to the Knicks, the Mavericks are more eager to complete this offensive play."

Because we could clearly feel the Dallas Mavericks' decline, even if they dragged the game into overtime, their chances of winning were slim.

Therefore, they must make this play, and preferably a three-pointer. That way they will have room to maneuver."

Zhang Weiping nodded in agreement.

Thank you Cangyue Gulan for the two monthly tickets.
