The winner of the tie-break was the Celtics, proving once again that this is a playoff game without dark horses.

Wizards head coach Brooks gentlemanly congratulated the Celtics after the game, saying, "My players have been fighting, and this is what we've been doing this season, and we've never backed down. But to give credit to Celtic, they played brilliantly. ”

Wall faced the camera and said: "The result of Game 7 was not what I wanted, but I definitely gave it my all, I threw the ball and finished the game the way I wanted, at least I took the initiative, I can accept the defeat and will use it as motivation for next season." ”

However, Wizards big man Gortat directly expressed his displeasure, "I don't think we can do the necessary effort in all 48 minutes. ”

'We lost our composure and the opponent used the timing to pull the score. We lost because our defence was in doubt, not because of the team's attack. ”

In an interview, the Celtics head coach praised Thomas Jr., "Dude, he's a tough guy. ”

"His determination and his ability to deal with problems on this stage is a very, very, very rare level."

Thomas Jr. also said: "I've always had injuries, but this is a playoff game and I have no excuses. ”

"It was an unbelievable moment for us and I dreamed of winning this fight. Especially in the Garden Arena...... The fans here are really crazy. ”

"I haven't played the Eastern Conference Finals on my resume before...... At this point in the season, anything can happen and we believe in ourselves. ”

On May 16, the Spurs and Warriors started Game 2.

Having studied the footage of the game, the Spurs were well prepared for this game.

It's just that I didn't expect Curry to go berserk at the beginning, and the Spurs didn't get the opening advantage on the court.

Curry is only one aspect, and the most important thing is that Aldridge has a problem.

The Spurs made a dream start last time, that is, Aldridge was able to score on the inside, and their three strong points echoed each other, leaving the Warriors at a loss.

But Aldridge is not in good shape this season, and Ade has always had such a problem this season, and his ability is definitely at an All-Star level, which is unstable.

It's just a matter of meeting other teams, and in the Western Conference Peak Matchup, Aldridge's problems caused the Spurs to lose the lead, and by the time they adjusted their tactics, they were already 20 points behind.

In the second half, the Spurs desperately chased the points, but the Warriors were very attacking, and they finally fell short and lost a home court.

** Vicky said after the game: "We need Aldridge to step up and score for the team, he should play with more confidence,...... He had too few shots to do that. He needs to score, to score in all sorts of ways. I think in the third game he has to step up and take more responsibility, both for himself and for his team-mates. ”

"If the Spurs do the right thing, play by the rules of basketball and play hard, we can win."

'You need to try to build good momentum and keep the advantage and focus the whole game. "The Spurs are a great team, and you have to be mentally tough against a team like that, and we know what needs to be done to win," Curry said in his post-game interview. ”

'There were three things we did better than before, the intensity of the defence, the pressure and the level of focus. It's the playoffs, you need to take every minute and every opportunity. ”

Zhang Xiaotian also felt the pressure, as Curry said, the Warriors did a better job defensively, and they are opponents who deserve enough attention.

After thinking about it for a while, he simply used all the remaining victory points to improve the three-point and mid-range shots.

The Spurs' defense is actually pretty good, although it's a bit difficult to face the Warriors.

In attack, he needs to do better, and the better he plays, the more chances the other players get.

After the improvement, his stats in the system have become very good-looking.

[Basketball stats (full value 100), power: 82+8.2, speed: 75+6, bounce: 75+6, three-point: 90, mid-range shot: 90, layup: 80, dunk: 80, confrontation: 84+8.4, defense: 88, ball control: 75+4.5, passing: 70+4.2, steal: 70+4.2, inside: 80, rebound: 73+4.4, block: 70+4.2, stability: 80+4.8. 】

Zhang Xiaotian believes that his current strength can also put a lot of pressure on the opponent in the first three quarters of the game.

At this time, the East Decisive finally came belatedly.

The Celtics did not do a good job of limiting James and Love, allowing the Cavaliers to gain a big advantage in the first half, and they had to lose helplessly after the unsuccessful pursuit in the third quarter.

Cavaliers coach Lue was delighted: "I think in the first half we defended really well, but in the second half we were a little bit tired and it was the result of too much rest. Our main goal was to play Thomas Jr. against him and force him to hand over the ball. Their fans were so crazy that we attacked early to silence the crowd. I think it was a good day. ”

Speaking after the game, James said, "I just wanted to play aggressively. On the road you have to play aggressively and I took the opportunity to get into the box just to put pressure on the opposition defence. ”

'The energy, the defensive intensity, we stuck to the game plan and there were some ups and downs in the third quarter, which we didn't like as a team, but we had enough energy from the start.

Celtics head coach Stevens said: "It's unbelievable, but James has really gotten stronger, he's really better than when I first came into the league and coached the Celtics. As you get older, you get more experience and more experience, and you get to see more things. I really don't think he's going to get any better after that year, but he did. He's a good athlete, a great player. ”

Celtics guard Bradley also said: "We need to do a lot, we need to go back and watch the footage and look at how to defend their pick-and-roll, they play a lot of pick-and-rolls, especially LeBron James, and we figure out how to defend them. ”

The Spurs and Warriors have already played twice, but this time they will have two more days off.

As a result, the Celtics and the Cavaliers made progress and began the second battle.

This Green Army played a bit of a collapse, not only did not limit the big three of the Cavaliers, but their own offense was also a mess, and the best performance was rookie Jaylen Brown, which shows that they are really out of trouble.

In fact, this situation was also expected before the game, although the Celtics were the first in the regular season, in the playoffs, they lacked a strong enough winning star.

Thomas Jr. still has natural flaws, but the 44-point defeat is not their true level. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
