Chapter 115: Eastern Conference Finals

The moment he saw Garnett play again, Wang Cannon was a little stunned.

Even a layman like Wang Dacang can see that Garnett's sprain is not completely healed, and even when he walks, he still looks limp a little.

Playing like this is completely reckless, but even so, Garnett still held his head high when he came on the court and never went down.

The audience applauded thunderously, although Garnett is not a Boston native, but what Garnett has dedicated to the Celtics in the past three years has left this group of mean fans speechless.

"You are our hero! Garnett! ”

Wang Cannon didn't understand very much, Garnett what was this for? Is it worth risking an injury to win a game? A player of Garnett's age is likely to fall back into retirement once he gets injured. Is it really worth betting on your future career just for this game, a playoff win?

No matter how Wang Cannon didn't understand, Garnett was already standing on the field, not only that, but Garnett didn't forget to bump into Wang Cannon.

"Sorry boy, I'm playing again! Just stay there! ”

Wang Cannon didn't fight back, he didn't dare to fight back, but at this moment, Wang Cannon suddenly felt that when facing such an alliance veteran, it was necessary for him to give him a respect.

Although Garnett does not need the respect that is given.

Clenching his fists tightly, Wang Dacang has already made up his mind that he wants to use his best state and best expression to express his respect for this unyielding veteran!

The game continued, although Garnett stubbornly returned to the court, but the sprained foot could not be suppressed simply by will, because of the foot injury. Garnett's speed is completely incomparable, and his defense on the inside is far less than before. His play did not stabilize the situation as expected, but only moved the disadvantage back a little.

The Celtics were still on the back foot, and as the game time increased, the disadvantage became more and more significant.

Garnett didn't make the end of the game, after the third quarter. He went to the bench to apply ice, and then, on Rivers' orders, returned to the locker room to continue treatment, and he never appeared on the court again.

The game in the fourth quarter was even more suspenseful, and the Heat finally won the third game amid the boos of the Celtics, with a total score of 3:0, which was already eliminated by the Celtics.

Because there has never been a team in history that has been 3-0 down and can complete the reversal.

As soon as the game is over. The Heat players are all excited to hug each other and celebrate, especially the Big Three of Wade James Bosh, who have paid too much for the championship, and every victory in the playoffs is equivalent to their self-redemption, which is very important to them.

At this time, James suddenly found that Wang Cannon had been standing on the field. Even if the game was won, he was indifferent, as if he didn't react to what was going on.

"Hey! What are you doing? James stepped forward and hammered the king's cannon. Asked happily.

"I said." Wang Cannon looked at the dejected Celtics players not far away, and he noticed that the veterans of Pierce and Ray Allen all had a glimmer of sparkle in their eyes, which were obviously tears. "Is a championship really that good thing? Why are you all so eager to get it? ”

James was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Cannon. Usually, Wang Cannon's always cynical and grinning expression is now gone. His expression was extremely serious.

"Of course!" Almost without hesitation, James said directly and decisively: "The O'Brien Cup is something that every basketball player and every NBA player dreams of, and I have dreamed of winning that trophy countless times!" That's the most important reason why I left my hometown and came to Miami. ”

"But why?" Wang Cannon asked puzzledly, "Isn't that a trophy?" It's not a trophy of pure gold, is it really that good? How do NBA stars make bad money? Why desperately take that worthless trophy? ”

"For the champion!" This moment. James's face was also extremely stern, "No matter where you are, as long as it is a competition, there will be a first!" A good player, his goal will only be first! ”

"First" Wang Cannon looked at the position of the Celtics players again and did not speak for a long time.

At the post-game press conference, to everyone's surprise, Wang Cannon, who has always been open-mouthed, turned out to be unprecedentedly normal.

"Garnett is the toughest player I've ever seen, I enjoyed playing against him, his spirit of not admitting defeat inspired me a lot, and I'm going to try to learn from him!"

Wang Dacang's speech disappointed all the reporters, and they thought that Wang Dacang would spray Garnett at the press conference after the game. After all, in the arena, Garnett did everything to limit Wang Cannon, and all kinds of small actions came out.

Official words like this can't squeeze out any newsworthiness at all, when did Wang Cannon learn this?

The reporters could not have imagined that Wang Dacang did not have the concept of official discourse in his mind at all, and his "professional agent" also did not have this concept, he always spoke casually, and he could say whatever he wanted, and what he said at the press conference today was all from the heart, but the reporters present, including those who heard Wang Dacang's interview afterwards, did not take it to heart.

The reason is very simple, who will take the official words to heart?

In any case, the Celtics' road to the playoffs is almost over, and after 3-0, even if there is still a home court advantage, the Celtics have no chance of winning. The Heat is too strong, and there is a BUG-like king cannon in addition to the Big Three, and there is no second one in the league with such a configuration, even if it is the Lakers, who are the first in the league in terms of player salaries, it is much worse than that.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the Celtics team finally reluctantly decided to give up the last game.

In the fourth game, the main players of the Celtics did not play much, and the Big Three only played in the first quarter and never played again, while Rondo played on the court for a long time, but he was only alone.

The Celtics lost again in Game 4 and were eliminated by the Heat with a total score of 4-0.

Although the Celtics were obviously releasing water in the fourth game and did not contribute to the work, the fans at the Celtics home stadium were not angry. They know very well that Rivers is looking forward to a comeback for the Celtics next season.

In the fourth game, if the Celtics work hard, it is absolutely no problem to pull back a game, and the Heat, who have won nine times out of ten, will definitely not dare to fight the Celtics, in case the player is injured, it will be a big loss, so if the Celtics want to get a victory to save face, the Heat will definitely not dare to fight against the Celtics.

But what's the point of that victory? Just to look good on face and prove that the Celtics were not swept 4-0 by the Heat?

Rivers thinks more and further.

Although the current Celtics are old, Yu Wei is still there, and with the summer reinforcements, they may be able to make a comeback.

If you insist on winning a game purely for the sake of face, it is likely that the players will be injured too desperately, and Garnett was a good example in the last game.

No one can guarantee that Garnett was not as lucky as Garnett in the last game, only a slight sprain, and if he was reimbursed for a season, it would be a loss that the Celtics could not accept.

Regardless, the Celtics' playoff season is over, being ended by the Celtics in the second round.

While the Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, the opponents in the finals were almost clear.

Although the game between the Bulls and the Magic is not over yet, the Bulls have a 3-1 lead over the Magic, and it is estimated that winning is not too much of a problem.

The situation in the East is quite decent, nothing particularly surprising happens, the Heat's victory over the Celtics, and the Bulls' upcoming victory over the Magic, which are very normal things.

On the contrary, the situation in the west is somewhat unpredictable.

Not to mention the Spurs, who were eliminated by the Black Eight in the first round, the Lakers, the biggest favorites to win the championship, were swept directly by the low-key Mavericks in the second round of the game with the Mavericks. 4:0, the defending champion Lakers, who won two consecutive championships, was eliminated by the Mavericks, which surprised many people.

Sportra was also very surprised, originally he used the Lakers as an imaginary enemy of the Finals in terms of tactical preparation, but he didn't expect the Lakers to be eliminated so early.

For the Heat, that's a good thing. After all, what the Heat are most afraid of is a team with strong internal strength like the Lakers, even if there is a king cannon, the Heat's internal line is still the biggest shortcoming, and the two teams that have advanced in the West, the Thunder, the Mavericks, and the inside line are not particularly tough.

The Mavericks' inside line may be slightly stronger, with Nowitzki and Chandler's deposits, the Mavericks' inside line is actually not weak, of course, whether Nowitzki is considered an inside line is still up for debate.

In short, the two strongest enemies, the Lakers and the Spurs, have been eliminated one after another, which should be a good thing for the Heat, and in this way, the Heat's hopes of winning the championship are getting bigger and bigger.

Soon, the Bulls eliminated the Magic 4-1 in total, and the Thunder also eliminated the Grizzlies 4-2. The list of East and West finalists has also been officially arranged.

Heat vs. Bulls, Thunder vs. Mavericks.

The Heat, who are first in the East, and the Bulls, who are second in the East, will have a bloody battle for the ticket to the Finals!

Wang Dacang originally wanted to prepare well before the game against the Bulls, and practiced the free throws a little higher with the help of the training module, but before he could arrange the training plan, his arrangement was disrupted by a phone call. (To be continued......)
