Are the Boston Celtics a team lacking in logos right now?

McHale smiled bitterly again in his heart, the history of the Celtics is undoubted, but that is also history, at this time when Zhuang Fei said this, McHale didn't know how to refute, and even he knew that he himself was actually the symbol of the Celtics, his teammate Bird was too, his predecessor Russell was too, and of course the cardinal, but he also knew that Zhuang Fei was not talking about this.

What the Chinese mean is that the Boston Celtics have now lost their entire legacy, compared to the Los Angeles team.

McHale was in a somewhat complicated mood when he left Zhuang Fei's office, and Zhuang Fei looked at the back of this Hall of Fame player and sighed.

At this time, Zhuang Fei's choice is indeed only the last four teams, no, it should be the last three teams, the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Now the Timberwolves have ended their journey to the Western Conference semifinals, and all the other teams are still playing, but the day after Zhuang Fei received the invitation from the Boston Celtics, as McHale and Zhuang Fei expected, the Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor came, obviously this boss also knows that the last few days are the time for Zhuang Fei to make a decision, personally he can't hope that Zhuang Fei will leave, so his retention is also extremely sincere, Zhuang Fei is also very much looking forward to what promises Glenn Taylor can give him this time, but what makes Zhuang Fei a little disappointed is that the owner is still adding Zhuang Fei's personal salary, but there is no change in the future development of the team. Glenn Taylor did not change his philosophy of running the team because of Zhuang Fei.

This is Glenn Taylor's last retention for Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei naturally knows very well that this is the last negotiation between him and Glenn Taylor.

Like the first round of this season's playoffs, the Timberwolves were also the first to advance in the second round, while the other three matchups except for the Timberwolves were all deadlocked, and all three matchups could not be won or lost in the first six games, which is actually extremely rare, especially the battle between the second Lakers in the West and the Grizzlies in the third in the West this season. The two teams have played each other last season, and last season's result was extremely unfortunate, with the Grizzlies losing the game by a very narrow margin. Coupled with the 2-2 draw between the two teams in the regular season, it can be said that this game is considered to be absolutely able to play a full seven games, even if the Lakers, who have been qualitatively changed by getting Szczebiak, want to beat the Grizzlies It is extremely difficult to beat the Grizzlies.

Many pundits believe that this series will be very close. Even the two teams will compete to the end in every game, but what makes these experts a little faceless is that this round of the series is not as they thought at all, at the beginning of this round of the series, the Grizzlies were strong in the first game to defeat the Lakers who were somewhat underweight, and when the Lakers cheered up after the second defeat to the Grizzlies, and then went to the Grizzlies' home court, the Lakers actually suffered two consecutive defeats on the Grizzlies' home court, although this is because the Grizzlies are too lucky in these two games and the Lakers are not adaptable, but there is no doubt, After four games, the Grizzlies actually led the Lakers by a score of 3-1, such a start and advantage obviously made everyone unbelievable, and even Zhuang Fei was speechless for a while after learning of this result. Even Zhuang Fei wondered in his heart whether the Lakers would kneel on the Grizzlies this year.

Zhuang Fei is very jealous of the strength of the Lakers, so even if the Lakers are 1-3 behind, Zhuang Fei still doesn't think that the Lakers will really surrender like this, Zhuang Fei thinks so, but obviously others don't think so, when the Lakers fell behind 1-3, those experts who puffed up before the game that this was a scorching battle changed their words again. Everyone agreed that the Lakers would be eliminated by the Grizzlies in Game 5, and even Carter, the star of the Grizzlies, followed the tone of his teacher, Coach Z, and said one of Coach Z's most famous quotes. …,

"I'm already thinking about my next opponent"

Carter is really happy, this small forward has been growing smoothly since he came to the NBA, and now it has slowly become a new symbol of the NBA, but he has always looked down on these small forwards, and he is now desperate to go further. Now that Duncan has won the championship, he is also extremely eager for the championship now, at this time the Grizzlies' performance naturally makes his confidence burst, he will never believe that the Lakers will achieve a reversal of the Grizzlies, which is absolutely impossible, so he learned Zhuang Fei's famous saying.

Carter didn't think that his team would be chased back, and other Grizzlies players and supporters didn't think about it, and even when the Lakers returned to their home court in Game 5 to win a game to make the score 2-3, the Grizzlies didn't have much thought, and in the hearts of these people, they would definitely be able to eliminate the Lakers when they returned to their home court, and they had this confidence, because the Grizzlies had won four consecutive games against the Lakers on their home court this season, and they also believed that they could usher in a five-game winning streak against the Lakers.

The Grizzlies who returned to their home court are really strong, they don't have too many plans to underestimate the enemy in their hearts, their self-confidence is also bursting, and their performance is also very good, although they don't have the super luck of the previous two home games, but they also play very well, at least they play all their strength, if the Grizzlies can play like this this season, they have not lost in the regular season or in the playoffs, but this time these Grizzlies players are extremely shocked, They still lost when they played all their strength at home, and they lost by a full 10 points, the Lakers actually won two games in a row against the Grizzlies under everyone's surprise, and finally pulled the score to 3-3, and finally dragged the decisive battle to Staples, the Lakers also reversed all their disadvantages in one fell swoop, and the Lakers are also very likely to complete the drama of falling behind 1-3 again this year and finally turning the tables, and the Grizzlies lost two games in a row at this time is also a great blow to the team's confidence, At this time, in fact, many people have already seen that the balance of victory has tilted in favor of the Lakers, and Zhuang Fei just watched the sixth game of the two teams at home.

The Lakers and Grizzlies played a dramatic game, and this kind of joy and sorrow is not often seen even in the NBA, and compared to this matchup, the other two games are a little more realistic. Stalemate', first of all, the 76ers and the Hornets in this first and fifth game, in fact, in terms of strength, the 76ers are indeed a little higher, but the gap between the two teams does not seem to be as big as imagined, the Hornets' outside line is also the top in the league, Byron Davis, Wesley, Eddie Jones, these three super outside lines are also the guarantee that they beat the Knicks in the first round, although the 76ers have Iverson and Ragabel, but if it is really compared to the overall strength, it may not be able to compare with the Hornets, so it is very understandable that this round of matchups has such a situation, and the two teams in this round of matchups won one by one in the first six games, and then the big score is always stale, has been from 1 to 1 to 3 to 3, the current Hornets are their most fighting spirit, in fact, since the Raptors decided to end this season chestnut Canada, the Hornets are also already thinking about this problem, they actually have two hands to prepare, the first hand is naturally to invite Coach Z to join, but this goal seems a little unlikely, Recently, it has been rumored that Coach Z seems to have assured the ACC league that he will not return to North Carolina as an NBA head coach in recent years, since the first-hand preparation is useless, then the Hornets can only use the second-hand preparation, that is, let the Hornets go as far as possible this season, it is best to win the Eastern championship, so as to attract more fans, for the basketball mecca of North Carolina, no team can really give up, the Hornets naturally do not want to give up, but they also know that this is the last effort, It's just that what makes the Hornets management a little depressed is that even if they easily beat the Knicks in the first round and dragged the first place in the East into the tiebreaker in the second round, North Carolina fans don't have much reaction, these fans would rather go to the warm-up game of this year's NCAA runner-up Wake Forest than watch their playoffs, their attendance is not even as good as the attendance of the Wake Forest warm-up game, such a variance is actually extremely unbelievable.

Of course, the Hornets are playing very tragic this year, they are working hard for their own survival soil, and this season's Heat who are second in the East and the Bucks who are third in the East cannot be described as tragic, and now these two teams can only be said to be miserable, the Heat has always been the first team in the East This season, the former Trail Blazers' all-round forward Grant and rookie Big Q Richardson and guard Eddie House have slowly changed the stubborn disease on the outside, but even such an outside line is facing the Bucks Ray Allen, Kassel and Robinson's three muskets are also tight on the outside, so the competition between the two teams has once again evolved into an internal and external battle, in fact, these two teams have been in this situation in the first two seasons, at that time, because the three muskets were not in place, the Heat was able to suppress them, but this time the fully mature Bucks were a little different, and finally the two teams also entered the battle for the seventh.

On the day when the Grizzlies and Lakers grabbed seven, Timberwolves head coach Zhuang Fei also flew to Los Angeles. (To be continued) RQ
