Chapter 174: Another Meeting
"Last season's Eastern Conference Finals, we were eliminated by the Revolutionaries, and I don't want us to repeat the mistakes of last season, so I want you to beat them!"
"I know that the revolutionaries are old powerhouses, and their heritage is still very strong, you may have concerns, but I believe that you will defeat them!"
"All we have to do is get to the finals!"
"The Fortunes of New York!"
“Fight!”
Inspired by Coach Garcia before the game, the New York Fortune Boys began their journey to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row.
The opponent is still last year's Boston Revolutionary, and unlike last year, the young people of the Fortune Team have grown up and still have the strength to compete for the championship.
Four years ago, the Fortunes were just a playoff fringe or even a half-belly team, but now, four years later, they are a team that is fully capable of contending for a championship.
It took them four years to complete their rise.
But now, they are not really rising, they still have to face the enemy who eliminated them last season, the Boston Revolutionaries.
As long as they beat them and make it to the finals, no matter what the final result is, the Fortune Team will be successful.
The first game has officially begun......
The home shouts of the Fortune Players are shocking, and they have a great hostility towards the visiting Revolutionaries.
In fact, not only the Fortune Team, but the entire East has a great deal of hostility towards the Revolutionaries.
After all, this team has occupied the position of the Eastern champion for six consecutive years, and many Eastern teams have lost at his feet, and it is normal for fans to be hostile to him.
In this game, the Fortune Team did not disappoint the fans, Meng Xiaohao slashed 33 points, Derrick's important steal at the last moment, and Middleton's final three-point decision to win the game.
In the first game, the Fortune Players narrowly defeated the Boston Revolutionaries by five points by virtue of their talent.
The same is true for the second game.
Meng Xiaohao played bravely, like a god, slashing 44 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks of terrifying data, completely dominating the offensive and defensive ends, and also refreshing his own records in the playoffs.
In the end, the Fortune Team defeated the Revolutionary Team by 13 points with Meng Xiaohao's anti-sky performance.
But the good times didn't last long, and the third and fourth games were the home of the Revolutionaries, who had to play two games at the Tea Cellars in Boston.
Like the Fortune fans, the Revolutionary fans hate the Fortune Players.
After all, the seventh year of the regular season was snatched away from the first place in the East, and Boston fans were also very unhappy.
With the blessing of home advantage, the Revolutionary team relied on its old and spicy style of play and the advantage of experience to pull back the two-game deficit.
Both teams will be on the same starting line, and whoever wins four games first will advance to the finals.
This is the severe challenge that the Revolutionary Team has faced in the past seven years.
A young, talented, talented team, their growth is inevitable, and the revolutionaries naturally know this.
But what they didn't expect was that the day would come so quickly.
Despite their own equaliser, they can't guarantee that the Fortune Players will win back at home.
……
As it turned out, the revolutionaries were right in their fears.
Back in New York, it's the Fortune Ones again......
In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Meng Xiaohao and Derek's performance was not satisfactory, and the two combined scored 38 points.
But in that game, the Fortune Men still won because they had Middleton, the Fortune Ones who were not a very dazzling third giant.
He scored 40 points and made 11 of 17 three-pointers, setting a new personal three-point shooting record in a single game in the North American League playoffs.
That's what Middleton did, and what did he really do in this game......
Murder and heart......
An unreasonable shot from outside the three-point line bombarded the Revolutionary team's defense, and even if their defense was solid, it couldn't stop Middleton's 100-step penetration.
Middleton is on his way to becoming the best shooter in the North American league, and his regular season three-point shooting is the ninth most all-time shooting, and although he is far from the first, Middleton still has time.
With Middleton's excellent performance, the Fortune Team won the battle of Tianwang Mountain and took the lead in getting the match point.
Once again, the team fell behind, pushing the Revolutionaries into a corner.
This is the first time in seven years that the revolutionaries have lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the playoffs, and the first time that an opponent has taken the lead in the playoffs.
The Fortune Packers have driven the Revolutionaries to the brink.
But the veteran team is the veteran team, and when they are cornered, they will explode with powerful abilities.
There is a good saying......
"If you don't have blood, you won't play!"
In Game 6, the Fortune Players, who wanted to win the game at home in Boston, met with stubborn resistance from the Revolutionaries.
Eight of the team's players scored in double figures, and three scored in 20.
The score, 137 to 113, won by twenty-four points.
The Fortune Packers were beaten and couldn't find the north......
In fact, the performance of the Fortune Team was also very good, and Meng Xiaohao also cut 30+, but helplessly, the attack of the Revolutionary Team was too terrible.
The main reason for the loss of this game is that the Fortune Players have no way to resist the Revolutionary's open-ended attack.
The two sides are tied......
This round of the series made all the fans enthusiastic, and they knew that as long as the Fortune and Revolutionary teams meet, there will definitely be a lot of discussion points, let alone in the Eastern Conference Finals.
A win-win game that everyone wants to see, just like the top 32 of the college league, the tie-break in the North American league playoffs, has attracted much attention.
Old and new, team vs. individual, up-and-coming and ......
These gimmicks alone are enough to make fans interested in this series, not to mention a tie-break match?
At the same time, the Western Conference finals have also reached a tie-break, and the games between the Snow Mountain team and the Star team are also interesting.
At this time, the fans of the Star Team and the Revolutionaries who had been spraying each other for many years suddenly got back together, and the fans of the Fortune Team and the Snow Mountain Team also formed an alliance.
One side represents the dignity and heritage of the old powerhouse, and the other side represents the rise of the emerging team, and the two sides have engaged in a large-scale war of words on social networks.
But no matter how fierce the war of words is, the last place to see the real chapter is still in the game, so countless fans are looking forward to these two tie-breakers.
A famous legend of the North American League once said......
"Grab seven is the best word in the world......"
Game Seven, it's officially started!
