Jeremy Lin's excellent play broke the deadlock between the two sides at half time.

The Cavaliers didn't give the Knicks a chance to fight back, and the margin was maintained in the midfield.

112 to 98.

Yao Ming had 27 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks, Green had 12 points, Artest and Battier had 11 points.

Of course, the most gratifying play was Jeremy Lin, who played 35 minutes, shot 7 of 13, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 6 assists and 2 steals.

This data does not look at people, and some people will definitely believe Paul's data!

New Yorkers may never have imagined that the playoffs would be played by a yellow-skinned defender.

The name Jeremy Lin is remembered by New Yorkers.

In fact, it wasn't just the New Yorkers who changed the way New Yorkers saw Jeremy Lin's game, but the Cavaliers' coaching staff revisited his role.

When Paul was there, Jeremy Lin had limited playing time, and now the team's orthodox No. 2 position is Green alone, is it possible to play double point guard tactics appropriately after Paul's return?

Tang Tian welcomed this change in the coaching staff, but the team never looked at a person.

For Lin, he just got off to a good start.

Against the Wizards, he shot 6 of 12 in 30 minutes, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 17 points and 8 assists, which is not bad compared to the 15 points and 11 assists of the champion Lang Wall.

Against the Lakers, he shot 13 of 19 in 37 minutes, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 36 points and 6 assists! Feel so hot that it explodes!

When asked by the media after the game if he had anything to coach, Kobe Bryant shrugged and said, "He's scored almost 40 points, what else do I have to coach?" ”

Against the Nets, he shot 7-of-17 from the field and 3-of-4 from three-point range in 32 minutes, scoring 20 points and 10 assists, and even overshadowed Deron Williams (19 points, 8 assists, 4 turnovers) on the opposite side.

……

Lin is crazy, not disappearing, but belated!

'He's been great, but I'm not surprised at all because he trains twice as much every day as a normal player. At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian did not forget to pretend to be forced.

"Maybe the only thing I'm worried about right now is that we're probably going to have to pay a lot of money to keep him this summer."

Of course, humor is indispensable.

Jeremy Lin's outstanding play allowed the Cavaliers to maintain an excellent record, and also allowed the Cavaliers to smoothly survive the period of Paul's absence.

About ten days later, Paul returned and quickly found his form after a few adjustments.

The Cavaliers also experimented with a two-point guard strategy, and it worked very well.

This is tantamount to giving the Cavaliers a new set of tactics that can be used before the playoffs, which is a complete blessing in disguise.

And this wave of competitions ended, and the 2011~2012 shrinking season officially came to an end.

The best record is the Chicago Bulls, who have a 57-15 record.

Thibodeau's defensive system for the Bulls has paid off, and perhaps because he has only been in charge for a year, Rose has not suffered a devastating injury this season as he did in his previous life, but instead averaged 26.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game, which is even better than last season.

In second place is the Cavaliers, with a 53-19 record, and although they have experienced a series of turmoil such as James trade and Paul injury, they still finally got the second record in the East.

The Pacers are third with a 50-22 record.

The fourth-ranked Heat are 47-25.

The teams ranked fifth through eighth are the Hawks, Celtics, Knicks, and Magic.

Outside of the playoffs, the brightest in the East is the Charlotte Bobcats, who are frantically struggling and have a final record of 9-63!

In the West, the Spurs have a miraculous 56-16 record, which is even better than the Cavaliers, and the older GDP is even more demonic.

The Thunder are in second place with a 54-18 record.

In third place is the Lakers with 50 wins and 22 losses.

The Suns, led by James, finished fourth in the West with a 47-25 record in the highly competitive West.

The teams ranked fifth through eighth are the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz.

And outside of the playoffs, the standings of several teams in the West are interesting.

The Rockets originally intended to be bad, but with the excellent play of Yi Jianlian and Kevin Martin, they still had a chance to hit the playoffs at the last moment, but unfortunately they failed in the end, and it was the ninth in the West in another year, and Morey secretly spit out a mouthful of old blood.

And even more interesting are the wasps and the king.

The Hornets sent Cousins away and finished in the bottom of the West.

And the Kings, after getting Cousins, intended to rise, Cousins did play gorgeous statistics, but unfortunately the overall strength of the team was too poor, and in the end it only got 26 wins, ranking third from the bottom in the West.

In other words, the Hornets have two top-10 spots at once!

This is a heavenly favor for the city of New Orleans!

With the finalization of the rankings, the first round of matches between the East and West has also been released, and unlike previous years, every group of matches in the East and West this year seems to be full of highlights.

Bulls vs. Magic: This is likely to be Howard's final year in the Magic's playoff game, but his dominance on the interior is still the same, and after Turkoglou's return, the Magic's roster doesn't seem to have changed as it did a few years ago, and the two sides are not at all as different in strength as they seem to be in the rankings.

Cavaliers vs Knicks: This is also a set of suspenseful matchups, after James was sent to the West, the Cavaliers' forward strength declined, and the combination of Anthony and Stoudemire is precisely the strongest forward combination, and the New Yorkers are favored by many media to finally cause an upset.

Heat VS Hawks: After the Hawks renewed Joe Johnson's contract with the highest salary, the recruitment was greatly affected, and the overall strength declined significantly compared with previous years, and although the Heat team failed to get James as they wished, the combination of Wade and Bosh and Beasley still has a strong competitiveness.

Pacers vs Celtics: Aegie didn't end up breaking up the Big Three last offseason, but Ray Allen and Garnett's contracts are set to expire at the same time this summer, and given the past record of the Big Three, this could well be the last year for the three old guys, and the Pacers are clearly the rising upstarts, and their overall strength is significantly more dominant.

In the West, Spurs vs. Jazz (hand-to-hand combat), Thunder vs. Mavericks (the new favorite to win the championship and the clash of former division champions), and Lakers vs. Nuggets (old-school powerhouse vs. the new generation of Kombat Whirlwind) are also full of highlights.

Of course, the much-watched Suns will meet the Grizzlies led by the "Black and White Bears" in the first round.

How far James' first trip to the Western Conference playoffs can go is also the absolute focus of attention of fans in the league.

When the time came to the end of April, the playoffs quietly opened.
