Chapter 583: The Dignity of a Fighter

"Coach, do we need to change the starters now?"

Boston, North Shore Garden Arena, in front of the Boston Celtics bench, Boston Celtics assistant coach Stephen Green said to his teacher with some questions, at this time the head coach of the Boston Celtics was staring at the court with his eyes tight, just like at the beginning of the game.

For Stephen Green, his own coach is very attractive, this teacher no matter what game, at any time of the game, he can fully focus all his attention on the court, which is also the reason why it can most intuitively grasp the general trend of the court, although this seems not difficult, but when Stephen Green really imitated it, he found that this is not as simple as imagined, the feeling of concentrating all his attention and running back and forth with all the players on the court made him extremely tired, Not to mention holding on to an entire game like Zhuang Fei, even if it is a quarter of time, this is an extremely difficult thing for the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics.

It's just that at this time, after Green looked at the situation on the court again, the assistant coach was still ready to interrupt Zhuang Fei's attention, because the current situation on the court could not continue to persist like this, but what made Green very helpless was that his teacher still looked at the court without saying a word as if he didn't hear his reminder. Zhuang Fei's performance can only make Green keep shaking his head on the side.

Now Green wants to interrupt Zhuang Fei not because the Boston Celtics are performing very badly on the court now, on the contrary, this team is performing very well now, it can be said that this team has performed extremely well from the beginning, and this team has almost completely occupied the initiative on the court from the beginning, the 76ers were suppressed and breathless, it is obvious that the Boston Celtics players in this game are not ready to drop the chain anymore, and Zhuang Fei's reprimand to these players in the locker room also played a role.

It is precisely because of this that almost at the end of the first quarter of this game, the Boston Celtics had a 5-point lead, and when the two sides finished the first half, even the 76ers' leading player Iverson still did not rest for a minute in the first half, but after the end of the first half, the Boston Celtics have expanded the difference to more than 10 points, and after the end of the third quarter, with Iverson's shooting rate and physical condition declining, the team even led by 20 points after the end of the third quarterIf it weren't for the fact that all the main players of the 76ers were still on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, then in the fourth quarter, in fact, for the Celtics, it should be possible to replace all the main players, and then the game officially entered garbage time.

The 76ers still did not give up in this game, or more accurately, the team's boss Iverson still did not give up, even if there were five minutes left in the final game, although at this time the Boston Celtics had a home lead of more than 25 points and were about to run to 30 points, but the 76ers boss still did not seem to be ready to go down, in this case, the head coach of the Boston Celtics Zhuang Fei was also extremely stubborn and did not replace his starter first.

Obviously, if the Boston Celtics don't replace the main player first, then according to Iverson's personality, it is impossible for him to let the team coach replace him, this fighter is not like ending this playoffs, even if this game is so abusive for him, he doesn't want this year's playoffs to end like this, this is his work for a season, in this case, the player's reluctance and nostalgia for the playoffs can be seen, this year they can bully the inexperienced young Bulls to reach the playoffs, But what about next year? What about later? These are extremely uncertain things.

So after Zhuang Fei saw the figure of the extremely persistent 76ers player on the court, Zhuang Fei was also ready to give the last five minutes of this game to the fighter who forced the Celtics into trouble this year. As long as the player is unwilling to play by himself, Zhuang Fei has no intention of replacing the main players of the Celtics.

"Let's hope he can regain his confidence and confidence in his team after this game," Zhuang Fei finally glanced at the 76ers fighter before turning around and walking back to his seat and sitting down. At this time, the Boston Celtics fans in the audience also burst into extremely warm applause after seeing Zhuang Fei sit down.

"Coach Z is a good guy who gives himself the last dignity of his opponent"

On the commentary bench of the North Shore Garden, the former legendary superstar Barkley of the 76ers, who has always been not very interested in the Boston Celtics and Zhuang Fei, actually praised Zhuang Fei for the first time, which also surprised Kenny Smith beside him, he is very clear that this partner around him has a lot of resentment against this Chinese, although this former NBA superstar worked with Zhuang Fei when he was on the Dream Three team, but as one of the main generals of the dream team that was defeated by Wake Forest, This legendary insider's sense of Zhuang Fei is not much worse than that of O'Neil, and in this case, it is really not easy for this famous commentator to be able to say this.

"Yes, Iverson doesn't want to get off the court, Coach Z is also willing to do it, Iverson is a hero, even if he and his team were bloodied by the Celtics in this series, but his performance is no worse than any player on the court, and even his performance alone can be worth the sum of the other 76ers players, if you calculate it now, this player's total score is 40% of all the 76ers' points in this round of the series, he has done well enough, but he lacks a helper, a Ragabel is not enough, He also needs a helper like Mutombo" Kenny Smith also glanced at the 76ers leader on the court and continued: "If Iverson is a hero, then Coach Z is a warrior who respects heroes, in his bones this coach is very perfectionist, he is a perfectionist, maybe this is also the difference between this coach and those other coaches like Popovich or Larry Brown or Phil Jackson who pursue victory, he is more epic or literary" Kenny Smith actually laughed when he finished the last sentence, and Barkley on the side also smiled and nodded after hearing Kenny Smith's evaluation.

"But anyway, we can now congratulate the Boston Celtics, although they have had a lot of twists and turns in this series, but their strength is still not comparable to the 76ers, they won this series very well, this is a very beautiful series, congratulations to the Celtics, congratulations to Coach Z" Kenny Smith looked at the two sides on the court who were still playing, but he had already begun to summarize the game.

"It's just that for this Celtics, now the playoffs are just the beginning, and the 76ers are only the weakest of the eight Eastern Conference playoff teams, if the Boston Celtics are facing the Heat now, then if this team is still as wrong as the first round, then I think the final result must not be like this, for Coach Z, he needs to get his players excited, and then get into the groove earlier, Because in the next game, whether it's the Heat in the second round or the Grizzlies and Wizards who are likely to face in the division finals, these teams won't give them much room to make mistakes."

"However, I think this should be extremely clear to Coach Z, who has won two NBA championships" Finally, after Kenny Smith finished speaking, the referee of the game, Bavita, also blew the final whistle of the game, and when the game came to an end, more than 20,000 Boston Celtics fans on the scene once again brought the North Shore Garden into the high court, and the Boston Celtics players on the court were also extremely excited to rush to Zhuang Feina on the bench, It's just the first round of the playoffs, but it's still something to get excited about.

"Good job, guys" Zhuang Fei watched the Boston Celtics players coming down from the court and high-fived his disciples one by one to celebrate, and after getting Zhuang Fei's affirmation, these Celtics players were also even more happy, but at this time, a certain player of the 76ers came over with a somewhat embarrassed face. And Zhuang Fei and the Celtics players also shook their heads with a wry smile when they saw this 76ers player, and then looked at Maddie with an ambiguous face.

"Tracy, your performance in this series is outstanding, better than I expected, congratulations" Ragabel stretched out his hand to Maddie with a sincere face, and at this time, Maddie hesitated for a while, and finally shook his hand with Ragabel under the gaze of all the Celtics players and coaches.

"Finally, Tracy, I'm sorry"

When Zhuang Fei on the side watched Ragabel give Maddie a hard hug who was still in shock, Zhuang Fei also nodded with a little smile. Although Ragabel has been a bit of a bad learner in his two seasons with Larry Brown, some of the essential things are still the same as they were when he was at Wake Forest.

And after Ragabel apologized, Maddie and Bell, who were originally good friends, naturally couldn't have any more gaps, they were both a group of young people, and some things were just a matter of words.

Although the estrangement between Ragabel and Maddie was lifted, when Zhuang Fei looked at Iverson, who was still squatting in the middle of the court, meeting with one hand and stroking the floor of the North Shore Garden with the other, Zhuang Fei's mood was also a little emotional.

Even if you don't want to? And how?

Something is over when it's over. (To be continued)
