As the 76ers happily boarded their flight to Philadelphia, the largest conference room at the North Shore Garden Arena was silent, with all the Celtics players sitting in their chairs and their heads hanging down, ready to meet the head coach's storm.

Surprisingly, O'Brien didn't get angry, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to say something. Looking at the silent players, he knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Now the big score of the series is 3-1, and if we lose one more game, our season will be over, I want to ask you, are you willing to be eliminated directly by the 76ers?" ”

No one spoke, not even the star Pierce, who was still immersed in the sadness of losing. O'Brien also knew that everyone might not answer, and he didn't expect it, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "I know that our overall strength is still far inferior to the other side, at least we don't have so many scoring points, they have Iverson, they have Reed, they have Arenas, they have Lewis, and we only have Paul and Antoine, which is a clear difference." ”

"But I don't want to go home in the next game, 4-1 and 4-0 are not too different, we are second in the East, the best team in the East other than the 76ers! Is there really that big a gap between us and them? I don't think so, as long as we stick together, we can still win the next game. ”

O'Brien patted everyone on the shoulder as he walked slowly, and when he was done with a lap, he said, "It's true that Paul and Antoine are at the heart of us, but I want everyone to contribute as well." Even if this power is very small, when everyone's power is combined, we will definitely have the strength to defeat each other! ”

"So, boys, let's fight together, I don't want to end this season early, and I don't think you want to let the whole season's efforts go to waste, fight one game at a time, maybe we can really do a miracle."

The whole 76ers didn't know that O'Brien was playing chicken blood on his players, and now they were so sleepy that they couldn't keep their eyes open. Although they beat their opponents in the game that just ended and even controlled the situation throughout the game, it was based on their crazy running, and the main players needed a lot of rest after a game.

Listening to the sound of snoring in his ears, Chang Wei couldn't sleep, he was still thinking about the next game. However, he also doesn't think the Celtics can cause any trouble, his mind has flown to the West, and now that the Spurs and Lakers are inseparable, the inside and outside combination of Duncan and Parker has begun to show their power. But it's no surprise who wins, and the Lakers needless to say, the Spurs have the potential to beat any team as long as they have Duncan, even if they don't have Ginobili on their roster.

Thinking like this, Chang Wei fell asleep unconsciously, and in his dream he built a team composed of all All-Star players, established a great dynasty comparable to the Bulls, and then ...... And then there is no more!

When the plane landed at Philadelphia International Airport, Chang Wei woke up and wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth without a trace. Indeed, if it is the lineup of the dream, it is easy to build a dynasty, but it seems that now is not the time to think about it, the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals will start the day after tomorrow, and it would be great for the 76ers to win it in one go.

Back at the arena, Brown told the players to disband themselves and go back to rest, while he planned to go back to the office to watch the footage. Of course, in the end, he didn't make the trip, for an old man, staying up late to watch the video is very hurtful, Chang Wei and other assistant coaches persuaded the old man, and finally he shook his head and went back to sleep. For the 76ers, whether it is a player or a head coach, what they need most is rest, and only by staying in good shape can they face the next games.

Maybe it's the inner stimulus of the win, and the positive behavior in the training session is what Brown wants to see, because it at least means that the players will give it their all for the next game, rather than the hellish "let's take a break" mentality, which would mean that they may rest until they are eliminated by the opponent.

But when you have the match point in hand, you can't make your mentality as if you're 3-1 down, and all the positivity is limited. Of course, no one will criticize them for doing so, Brown didn't say anything, in fact, anyone will have a little slack at this time, and the 76ers players are already very good.

However, that didn't give them extra time off, and Brown had a good reason: "It's not your time to rest yet, I'm going to give you a day off when you get to the finals, and you're going to have a long and exciting vacation when you win the championship." Oh no, maybe you're too busy to go on vacation by then. ”

Now that the manager has said that, what else can you say? Then keep practicing! Anyway, with their physical fitness, they can have a real match after training, which is nothing difficult to accept.

However, at this time, the 76ers did not know what kind of Celtics they were going to face. As an internet joke goes, now they're cheetahs and the Celts are rabbits, cheetahs run just to forage for food, and rabbits run to survive. Their hunger for victory is obsessive enough, but it still doesn't seem to be as good as the Celtics.

Now that each of them is gearing up for the start of Game 5, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to be able to sweep their opponents early in the next game, if the Western Conference Finals are not won in five games. And it's on their home turf, it's better to qualify at home than away, at least they don't have much chance to celebrate on the road.

A win in this game is inevitable for the 76ers, who are already desperate to reach the Finals for the second consecutive season, and of course it would be even better if they could win the championship for two consecutive seasons. But whether the West is the Lakers or the Spurs in the end, it is a difficult opponent to deal with, and in their opinion, that is their real opponent, the Celtics? Forget it!

Everyone was talking about the possibility of winning the title for two consecutive seasons before the game, and no one mentioned the opponent in this game at all. Looking at their radiant faces, Chang Wei felt palpitations for no reason: This won't milk you to death, right?
