Compared to the regular season, although the playoffs are intensive, they are not as frequent as the regular season, and the next game of the Trail Blazers will not be played until April 21, still at the Rose Garden Arena. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoYe Feng felt very unhappy about losing the first game, but when all the games on this day were over, he was surprised, because except for the Cavaliers who beat the Pistons 102-84, the other three games, the higher-ranked teams actually lost all of them. The Celtics lost 103-105 to the Bulls, the Spurs lost 97-105 to the Mavericks, and with the Trail Blazers, three teams suffered a loss, which is not a good sign.

The second day was also four games, and this time there was only one game in which the 76ers narrowly defeated the third-place Magic 100-98 to become the fourth team to play the playoffs in the first game. The other three games were the Hawks' 90-64 win over the Heat, the Nuggets' 113-84 win over the Hornets, and the Lakers' 113-100 win over the Jazz. There were only two games on the third day, and the Spurs and Celtics, who lost the first game, finally found face, the former defeated the Mavericks 105-84, and the latter narrowly defeated the Bulls 118-115, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on the Trail Blazers, forcing them to go all out to win.

In fact, the whole Trail Blazers team has not been idle in the past two days, and McMillan specially invited his good friend back then, and is also a famous point guard in the history of the league, "Glove" Payton, to give this group of little guys a training session. Payton is no easy character, having been named to the All-Defensive Team for nine consecutive seasons, winning the steal king and the best defensive player, and his nickname "The Gloves" comes from his strong defensive ability. In addition, Peyton's temper is also well known, he usually has a bad temper, and he dares to scold Jordan at his peak in person, and he is also a hot-tempered person.

McMillan's arrangement made the players suffer, especially Ye Feng and Roy, who were repaired by Artest and Battier in the game, and were "destroyed" by him a little too much. Payton is a well-known trash talk master in the history of the league, and even if he retires, he will not lose the "heroism" of the year, and the Trail Blazers players can't raise their heads one by one. He kept walking around the players as he scolded at the top of his voice: "I watched your first playoff game, and to be honest, I'm curious how you guys managed to win 54 and if Nate gave you some weird hormone ......"

McMillan's face darkened: Although Nima is an old teammate, is it really appropriate for you to blacken me in front of me like this? Payton ignored his murderous gaze and continued: "The playoffs are meant to be a life-and-death battlefield, and you can choose to give up a few games in the regular season because of overwork or a more favorable ranking, but not in the playoffs, every playoff game requires you to work hard, and after a series, you can either go forward or go home." I don't know why Nate had such high hopes for you when you were in the first game, when you were in the SuperSonics, you rookies should have been pressed to the bench to see how the veterans played. ”

However, Payton complained and complained, and he also tried his best to deal with the players under his old teammates. It's not been a long time since Game 2 starts, and he doesn't plan to stuff all the tricks he knows into the heads of the Trail Blazers players, he only picks the most important and needs the most at the moment. Everyone also automatically blocked the old guy's complaints anytime and anywhere, just for those tricks that would make him perform better in the second game. I have to say that Payton is indeed an old monster, 17 seasons, 1335 regular season games, 154 playoff games, the Trail Blazers' five starters add up to a fraction of his total, that is, McMillan intersected with him in Seattle back then, so he could dig out such a great god and mention them a few words at this time.

While Payton's trash talk was everywhere, the Trail Blazers' players listened attentively for the simple reason that the first game was a shame for them. Don't say that the Spurs and Celtics had the same experience that day, pushing yourself and others on the NBA court is the most unreliable thing, you lose is losing, the fourth in the West lost to the fifth in the West, it seems nothing, it is just a win gap, but in fact it is very embarrassing. Everyone felt ashamed of the slogans and songs of the home fans, and they scuffled on the court over and over again against Payton's spittle.

That's right, it's a scuffle, and the word physical confrontation is a bit elegant, in Payton's eyes, the playoffs are a meat grinder, and the finals are the 2.0 version of the meat grinder, and they basically can't do the opponent without a bit of tough action. Why did the Heat and Knicks not stop in the playoffs? Because they dare to fight tough battles, one of them is a big man who is as hard as a stone. It's not the era of iron-bloodedness, but this toughness won't go out of style, especially in the playoffs.

Ye Feng listened most carefully, there was no way, it was impossible for him not to listen carefully to Peyton's lecture. Artest himself is a flank with a fiery temperament and a strong respect for physical confrontation, and the ribs that were hit in the first playoff game here still hurt faintly. Since the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident" passed, Artest put all his strength on the court, although he still glared at the slightest disagreement as if he was going to fight, but he was more willing to see the opponent in pain on the defensive end, and Ye Feng was the latest victim. If you want to fight such a guy, you have to be tougher than him.

Everyone is a bloody young man, and losing the first game without Maddie for the Rockets is a shame for them, and such a shame can only be washed away by victory. It's nothing to lose a home game, there are still six games in the future, maybe not even six games, who can stay and continue the journey, who can only go home to prepare for a vacation, it will soon be clear, Ye Feng certainly doesn't want to be the latter, and no one in the team wants to be the latter. Although it is not yet time to fight against the odds, who can say for sure? The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, that breath still stubbornly stopped in the chest cavity and refused to disperse.

In that case, let's turn him upside down!
