Chang Wei didn't intend to discuss such a serious issue with Jackson on the sidelines of the court, so he led the latter to a reception room. As soon as the door was closed, Jackson couldn't wait to say, "Now you can always talk, right?" ”

"Some people always like to blow themselves...... Chang Wei muttered as he sat down in the chair opposite Jackson and said very seriously: "Okay Damon, I've watched the footage of these games from them, and I can tell you that the Celtics have a very good chance of making the cut, but if they do make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I'm not sure we can withstand it." ”

"So you mean we're going to get to the Eastern Conference Finals at most this season?" Jackson's brow furrowed. Chang Wei didn't answer him, just shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't want to see such a situation either, but it was a fact.

Jackson still can't believe it, it looks like he's been stimulated by the Bobcats' break into the East finals, and Chang Wei is fully convinced that the goal he has set for his team is to win the championship. But it is clear that the difficulty is very high, and the Celtic are an obstacle that cannot be ignored.

In order to convince Jackson of his conclusion, Chang Wei took a piece of paper and a pen in his hand, and explained to Jackson why he had come to such a conclusion while writing and drawing on it. In the end, Jackson was dismayed to find out that unless the team suddenly exploded, and it continued for several games, there was no chance of beating the Celtics, if they did qualify.

He picked up the piece of paper and looked at it again and again, and suddenly asked, "Couldn't it be the Pistons who advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals?" ”

Chang Wei spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also hope that they will advance, after all, it is my old club." But the fact is that the Celtics have a much better chance of advancing than they do, and it's not just because they won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. ”

Seeing Jackson's look of loss, Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What if I say something wrong?" Let's wait until the other set of duels is over! Besides, the Bobcats' reach for the Division Finals is already a huge step forward, and there's no reason to ask for too much. Damon, it's good to be high for yourself, but it's not right if you get into the horns. ”

Jackson grinned, he was still very concerned about whether the team would make it to the Finals, as it would greatly enhance his popularity, and any young manager would probably want to lead the team to the Finals quickly.

Soon the Pistons gave Jackson a shot in the arm with their performance, and they were anti-visitors from the beginning of Game 6. Although Wade is still lost on the offensive end, he does not continue to carry the scoring burden on his shoulders, but instead delegates it to his teammates. And the Celtics players have a very rare cold hand, only Pierce continues to use mid-range shots to keep the team alive, otherwise they would have been pulled away by the Pistons with a wave of climaxes. Still, the Pistons led 35-23 at the end of the first quarter, and Wade didn't score in double figures, but he had already dished out five assists, which was a key factor in the team's lead.

North Shore Garden is regarded as one of the NBA's most terrifying home courts, where visitors will struggle to get out of the way and the Celtics will be playing far above normal on their own turf. This is even more true of this game, which is their last home game of the series, and the big score is temporarily 3-2 ahead, and they have no reason to let their opponents go wild here.

So in the second quarter, the Celtics launched a comeback, and Ray Allen, the second-leading scorer, began to find his shooting touch outside the three-point line, and they narrowed the gap to five points at one point. Fortunately, Thomas responded in a timely manner on the outside, although Garnett is the backbone of the Celtics' defense and can play inside and out, but he is also powerless in the face of Thomas, who is younger than himself.

The Pistons re-established a double-digit lead and never gave the Celtics a chance again. With Wade's tandem, six Pistons scored in double figures as they easily defeated the Celtics 104-90 for the first time in the series. Such a performance gave Jackson more confidence.

Chang Wei was also very relieved to see the Pistons drag the series into the tiebreaker, but he still didn't think the Pistons could beat the Celtics in the tiebreaker, although it stands to reason that the probability of the two teams winning is half to half.

Back at home, the scrappy Pistons were ready to end the series in one fell swoop, but they ran headlong into the Celtics' copper wall. The Celtics players ran all over the court without sparing their physical strength, chasing the tiny basketball, tearing at everyone in a Pistons jersey like a pack of mad dogs, and physical contact and fouls were everywhere. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that they have Garnett's passionate defensive axis, and he brings his attitude to every teammate.

Under the pressure of the Celtics' high-intensity defense, the Pistons had five turnovers before the halfway point of the first quarter, which also made them 8 points behind their opponents, which didn't seem like much, but look at how hard they were on the court by not shooting more than 35% from the field. It's clear that the Pistons players have been stunned, even though they've won three championships in a row.

The Pistons' abrupt increase in defensive intensity caught the Pistons off guard, and they were out of shape throughout the first half, and by halftime they were already trailing by 13 points, and their shooting percentage still hadn't improved to more than 40 percent.

After Brown's adjustments, the Pistons improved a little in the second half, but unfortunately they were at best tied with the Celtics, which was not enough for them to come back and win the game. With 4:17 left in the fourth quarter, Brown had to replace all of his main players off the court, and there was no point in staying on the court at this time.

In the end, the Pistons failed to continue their strong last-game performance, losing the tiebreaker 85-100 on their home court and only to see the Celtics advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, which is difficult for a dynasty team to accept. When the final whistle blew, every Pistons player was silent, and they couldn't imagine that they had missed this year's division finals.

In the conference room at the Time Warner Center, Chang Wei grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV, shrugging his shoulders at Jackson, who whispered a curse to his mother, he didn't expect the Celtics to advance after being tied by the opponent and become the Bobcats' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jackson suddenly remembered Chang Wei's previous assertion, could it be that the Bobcats could only go to the Eastern Conference Finals this year? He wanted to give it a try, and it would be better if he could go further.
