The score was once caught up by Boston, and even overtaken, and the two sides began to alternate leads. The Knicks have Lamar as a good commander on their side, and the Boston Celtics rely on the explosive twin stars and their ample bench depth.

Until the end of the game, the score of the two sides still could not be opened. With fourteen seconds left before the end of the game, Anthony Walker's mid-range shot gave the Boston Celtics a one-point lead over the Knicks and took the initiative of the game.

The last ten seconds have become a stage for the coaches of both sides to fight wits and courage, and the two sides have called timeouts one after another, and the short time has been magnified dozens of times.

In the end, Lamar completed the stunner mission, and a long-range three-pointer sent the Boston Celtics on a vacation flight. Lamar also got his fifth three-pointer of the game.

Notably, Lamar had 21 assists in this game, setting a career record for himself in the playoffs.

Lamar's words stunned Pierce, who didn't look back, but just said, "Next year, even if I win, but I'll be back!"

With that, Pierce pushed through the crowd and plunged into the tunnel of players, while Lamar was quickly surrounded by his teammates and walked to the dressing room.

The press conference after the game was very tacit, and both sides went to France at the same time.

The reporters' questions were unexpectedly thrown at Pierce. In this game, he scored 38 points alone, setting a personal record for points in a single playoff game, but Pierce, who lost the entire series, did not have a smile on his face.

"There was a lot of clamor before the game for the Boston Celtics to win the game, and you made a victory declaration to the Boston fans before the game. How do you feel about today's result?"

Such a sharp question, if it had been placed in the past, the local media in Boston would never have asked it, but today's defeat made everyone hold their breath!

Pierce looked very calm, and after a while, he said: "It's a pity that the game was lost! But after all, the city of Rome is not built in a day, our team played well today, and I did my best today! This season is over, although it is a pity, but we have made the playoffs after all." ”

"We're not ashamed to lose to a team like the Knicks, and now like Lamar said before, we can go on vacation, good luck to them. ”

Pierce's answer made everyone on the scene stunned, when did the relationship between the two of them fight to the death in the game be so good?

Lamar wasn't surprised by this, and his opponents on and off the field were friends. He also recognizes Pierce's strength! No one would mind making an extra powerful friend.

"Lamar, what do you think of today's game, and you didn't score the same way you used to in the whole game, do you have any injuries ad_250_left?"

"It was a great game, it was one of the hardest games I've had this season! The Boston Celtics have improved a lot and I think we're going to have to get to know this opponent again from next season. ”

'As for scoring, I don't think it's anything to be aware of, I just did what a team leader should do. My team-mates had a good chance and I would have passed the ball over! I didn't score a lot today, but I was happy. It shows that my teammates have improved a lot!"

Lamar told the truth, so many stars in the future will always have to sacrifice their own data.

It's a pity that the reporters don't believe Lamar's nonsense. In the reporter's understanding, Lamar is an offensive maniac, and at the beginning of the Lakers, he could even grab the right to shoot Shaq and Kobe!

After asking a few more questions, the press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

Lamar and Pierce didn't say a word other than a few eye contacts.

It's just that Lamar knows that when the two meet again next year, Pierce will become even stronger and more difficult to deal with!

That's not good news for the Knicks, but for Lamar, having a tough opponent could make his career even more exciting. He's looking forward to his next encounter with the Boston Celtics.

"It's unbelievable that Pierce would say congratulations to us. Until the press conference was over, back at the dressing party, Van Gundy still didn't believe that everything that had just happened was true.

Lamar said with a smile while sorting out his equipment: "It's no fuss, fighting to the death on the field is for your own professionalism! ”

"Teammate?" Dampoter, who had just watched the live broadcast of the press conference, jumped up and said, "This is simply a precursor to the destruction of the universe!" Lamar, do you want to get that guy to the Knicks? Hell! That kid won't retaliate against me then, will you? Why don't you call him and apologize!"

Lamar looked at Dampotter's strange appearance and said angrily: "I see that the best bargaining chip for trading Pierce is you!"

"Oh! no!"

"You'd better be honest in the next round, and if you dare to do anything bad to the Roaring Celestial, I'm sure he'll rip that thing off you. ”

Dampotter rolled his eyes and went to the shower bare-assed.

Lamar packed his things and was about to go home when his phone rang. Open a text message and the sender is Vince Carter.

After reading the content of the text message, Lamar's originally very calm eyes immediately flashed with essence.

"Congratulations on knocking out Boston, but that's the end of your season!"

The first round of the 2002 playoffs was gone, and it was not much different from what the experts had predicted, with the winning teams knocking out their opponents.

The last to finish the game was the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards, and the result was a thrilling victory for the skilled Toronto at the Vojovia Arena.

Before they played each other, it was assumed that the Raptors would definitely eliminate their opponents with a clean 3-0 victory.

Because no matter from the situation of the two sides in the regular season this season, or the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the two are not on the same level at all.

Although at the beginning of the season, Toronto lost Vince Carter, the anchor, and Antonio Davis, a powerful interior player, the overall structure of the team has not been broken, and many powerful players have been introduced.

But some things are just hard to predict, after the first game was blown up by Toronto, the whole Wizards team seemed to suddenly open up under the reprimand and roar of Qiao.

In the second game, the Wizards relied on the performance of Jordan, Hamilton, and parallel importer Kwame Brown to overturn Toronto on the road, which was really surprising.

The Wizards, who tasted the sweetness of the third game, continued to work hard, and used the San Antonio Spurs' best grinder on their home court, and won another victory on the Raptors who were determined to get revenge. Take the initiative into your own hands.

At this time, the Raptors woke up like a dream, and finally got revenge in the fourth game, pulling the overall score to a 2:2 draw.

Back in Toronto, the Raptors didn't make the same mistake again. It was a tough win, but the result was good.

Vince Carter once again proved his strength to the people, and with injuries full of injuries, he Carter had the last laugh in the battle with the old flying man Joe.

The New Jersey Nets were arguably the smoothest of the rest of the games in the East, completing their encirclement of the Indiana Pacers and picking up their only sweep of the playoffs this season.

In these four games, the Nets, led by Kidd and Martin, will have a series of attacks on the Indiana Pacers. Makes Pacers big man O'Neal Jr. miserable.

O'Neill Jr. didn't have a good helper by his side, Reggie Miller was injured, and Artest was suspended. Little O'Neill always has the intention to kill the enemy, and he has no power to return to the sky.

After the first round, the Eastern Conference semifinals will be Toronto Raptors vs. New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons.

The war is raging in the east, and the west is also not calm.

The San Antonio Spurs were eliminated by their opponents with an aggregate score of 2:3 after five games with Sagramento Guoji.

With the return of Chris Webber, the Kings, who have swept almost the entire league, are now once again showing their kingly style. Divac, Webber, Stojakovic, Christie, McBibby, the starting five are not comparable to the Spurs who have begun to age, both in terms of physical condition and competitive condition.

Admiral David Robinson is getting older, and he's now having a hard time bringing anything more to the Spurs on the interior than just shooting from the ground. (=semi-/float*-raw+).

The team's new boss, Tim Duncan, also played more than 60 games intermittently throughout the season due to injury. Finally, he was basically healthy before the start of the playoffs, but it was difficult to face Chris Webber in his prime.

Stojakovic's precise three-pointer poured salt into the Spurs' wounds. The total score of 2:3 can be regarded as a fig leaf.

The game between the Lakers and Suns was a one-sided affair from start to finish. Marbury, a lone wolf from the Timberwolves, is still alone in the face of the Lakers' challenge.

Although he didn't get caught in the end, at least he was the only one in the entire series who fought to the end in front of the Lakers.

It's just that after the Suns' season ended, Marbury's dissatisfaction soon came from within the team. He has now truly realized that he does not have a strong helper around him, and it has become a luxury for him alone, not to mention competing for the championship, or even making the playoffs.

Marbury now regrets leaving the Timberwolves a little bit and misses the days when Kevin was by his side.

In light of this, Marbury didn't even have a hot and communication with the Suns' management, and directly announced that he would either find him a helper or trade him.
