"Danny, are we going to face defeat again this season?" In the box of TD North Shore Garden Arena, Wycliffe Grausbeck, CEO of the Boston Celtics, was looking at Danny Angie sitting next to him with a depressed face. The Celtics were mired in backwardness.

"Our team has just formed this season, Kevin, Paul, and Ray still need to run in, and there are still some flaws in our roster, so the loss to the Pacers is understandable, and we will definitely try to improve this summer, and we will definitely come back next season." After hearing the boss's questioning, Danny Angie hurriedly explained to the bosses present that it was not that we were not strong, but that the opponent was too strong, and you were unwilling to pay the luxury tax, and it was already very good to be able to play like this this year.

"Hmm." For Danny Ainge's explanation, Wycliffe Grausbeck is also noncommittal, the gap between the Celtics and the Pacers, he can still see that the results of the first season of the Big Three to reach the division finals are actually not bad, but Wycliffe Grausbeck's heart is now uncomfortable, because the outside world is now talking about the main reason why the Celtics lost to the Pacers is that the Celtics' owners are unwilling to invest and are unwilling to pay the luxury tax, this kind of rhetoric is like a thorn, Pierced in the heart of Wycliffe-Grausbeck and difficult to remove.

"Don't worry, boss, with the strength of Kevin and Paul, as long as we can find one to two qualified role players this summer, we will definitely be able to win the championship within three seasons." After seeing the boss's uncertain face, Danny Ainge hurriedly packed tickets to the boss, in fact, if it weren't for the existence of Meng Xu and the Pacers, the Celtics would have hoped to reach the finals this season, but fortunately, this annoying guy is finally retiring, as long as he leaves, then the Celtics will definitely be able to take advantage of his absence to win a championship in the past few years, of course, these words Danny Ainge will never be said on the surface.

"I hope so." After responding to Danny Angie's words with an expressionless face, Wycliffe-Grausbeck took a sip of the red wine on the table, sweet with bitterness, this is Wycliffe-Grausbeck's current state of mind, and it is also a true portrayal of Wycliffe-Grausbeck's 6 years of taking over the Celtics, in 6 years, the market value of the Celtics has more than doubled, Wycliffe-Grausbeck and several of his partners have also made a lot of money from the Celtics, But only Wycliffe-Grausbeck's promise when he took over Celtic never came true.

Back on the court, the third quarter of the game between the two sides has begun, the Pacers still firmly hold the lead, and the Celtics, after all the Big Three appeared, also briefly got up, but only a few minutes later, they were suppressed by the Pacers again, and after this counterattack was suppressed by the Pacers, it was difficult for them to organize an effective counterattack.

"The Celtics' offense, the Pacers' defensive rotation is very good, Ray Allen and Pierce never find a good opportunity, Eddie House, the vacant Eddie House received a pass from Kevin Garnett, but Eddie House hesitated, Tony Allen's defense was in place, and the Celtics missed a very good chance to equalize."

"Eddie House is under too much pressure." Seeing that Eddie House hesitated to make a shot after receiving the ball, Barkley on the commentary bench also shook his head helplessly, God will not give you a second chance, so in Barkley's view, the shot that Eddie House missed is probably the only chance for the Celtics to equalize today, and the equalizer is completely different from the psychological pressure brought by being behind.

Eddie House's hesitation made the Celtics miss a great opportunity to equalize, and on the Pacers' side, looking back, Meng Xu shot a three-pointer, expanding the difference between the two sides to 5 points, after Meng Xu shot this three-pointer, the Celtics bench suddenly fell into despair, and those substitutes who had left their seats nervously were holding their heads with their hands and looking at the scene on the court with a desperate face.

For the Celtics, who have fallen behind 1-3, the reason why they still have the courage to beat the Pacers before the start of this game is because of their obsession with the championship and the desire to win, but when they can't even see the last hope, how can they fight against the Pacers, especially those role players, after losing two consecutive games on the road, they have no fighting spirit.

"The Celtics are finished." After Meng Xu hit a three-point shot, Doug Rivers called a timeout, but looking at the expressions of the Celtics players on the court when they left the court, Kenny Smith knew that the Celtics' hope of recovering the score was very slim.

In the end, at the end of the game, 97-90, the Pacers won today's game with a 7-point advantage, thus eliminating the Celtics with a score of 4-1 and entering the finals of this season.

"At the end of the game, congratulations to the Pacers for beating the Celtics and reaching the Finals again."

"But congratulations to Celtic as well, they have been almost perfect this season and their performances this season have given us a lot of hope for next season."

Although the Celtics were eliminated, the Pacers did not have too much joy, and they did not celebrate much at TD North Shore Garden Arena, because for these Pacers players who have reached the Finals many times and won the championship, defeating the Celtics to reach the Finals is just a routine operation.

"Meng, congratulations." After the game, Meng Xu walked to Kevin Garnett's side, but before Meng Xu could speak, Garnett congratulated Meng Xu first, although he lost the series, Garnett was very generous and hugged Meng Xu.

"Thank you, Kevin." Meng Xu knew that Garnett didn't need to be comforted, so Meng Xu didn't say anything superfluous to him, let alone say that he would come back next year, and the future would be your Balabala.

After separating from Garnett, Meng Xu hugged each other with Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and others, losing is not losing, everyone is a decent person, so there is no need to do it off the field, not to mention that Meng Xu may retire after the end of this season, after a period of greetings and mutual comfort, congratulations, Meng Xu and Garnett walked into the player tunnel together.
