The defeat of a game can sometimes break the confidence of a team, which is not an untenable thing, and in fact, in the NBA, many teams are extremely shaken in their mood when facing 0-3 or 1-3, or even 2-3, for example, in the West, or in the NBA, the Lakers, who are known as aristocratic teams, this team will never do any struggle in the fourth game after 0-3, and this is considered by them to be aristocratic demeanor, They don't bother to fight for their lives for the sake of that vague hope of other teams.

But after all, in the NBA, most teams in the league are much more vulgar than the Lakers who think they are very graceful and give up the game, such as the Grizzlies, for the Grizzlies, when they face the Celtics, falling behind 1-3 is basically not much different from falling behind 0-3, and in fact, the only difference may be that they don't have to be eliminated at their own doorstep, which may be the only place worth their gratification, but in such a situation, although the Grizzlies can't give up the game as gracefully as the Lakers, But I also know that it will be difficult for me to catch up.

In this case, the team became a little complicated and even at a loss after this game, and in fact, the 72-85 defeat at home in this game did make the team a little dilemma, and even if they wanted to raise their motivation, they may not be able to really raise their motivation at that time, especially after the game, Grizzlies head coach Carlisle looked at his players' frustrated expression, he was even more uncertain, he knew very well, The group of players under his command is a group of extremely determined players, and it can even be said that he is confident that none of his players are soft. Even so, the Celtics on the opposite side still did this team so much damage.

And this kind of damage is still something he can't make up for through his own efforts, after all, these players are actually very tough psychologically, and he can't tell these players to make them stronger, and it is impossible to blame them for their soft egg behavior. Or he can't tell them how to defeat the Celts, and now he doesn't have such an ability, so at this time, he can only lament the Celts' ability to kill people.

In fact, the Chinese's coaching characteristics are like this, and the two apprentices he taught in Vic Forest. Whether it is Duncan or Carter, they are all players with such characteristics, there are many players who are defeated by Duncan, and there are many players who are broken by Carter, and these two are really not enough compared to Zhuang Fei's ability to play a bad team, and even at this time Carlisle thought that his team would be like the original king? Isn't the king just a dead place who was pinched by that Chinese and finally had a psychological disorder?

But the slightly better thing is that the Grizzlies have not defeated the Chinese, but no matter what, if he loses like this, it is really difficult for him not to do such considerations. For a team and a player, it's not terrible to lose, it's terrible that no matter how you lose, you can't find a winning mother and can't see the hope of winning. This feeling and situation is the worst and the most painful, and at this time the Grizzlies are enveloped in such pain, and the Celtics are now like they are being overwhelmed by a little bit.

'It was a terrible game. We weren't beaten with a bit of temper, Celtic were a stronger team and they completely restrained us. It's a very bad loss, we don't have any hope of winning, even if we didn't lose by more than 20 points at the end, we have to applaud Celtic, they did a great job."

At the post-game press conference, in the face of the row of reporters below, Carlisle was also very emotional, although he didn't think he would be able to beat the Celtics in this round of the series before this game, but he also didn't think he would lose so badly, this is a very conclusive conclusion and a game that surprised him, and at this time it was difficult for him to find the strong confidence and desire for the finals in his heart before the start of this round of the series. It's really not much use to think about these things at this time.

"Why lost? It's very simple that we can't score, we are completely guarded by them, our inside and outside play can't be opened, our blocking and pick-and-roll is not effective, whether it is Billups and Carter or Carter and Reed's blocking and dismantling is not very effective, each of them is taller than my players, stronger than my players, no matter what tactics we play, they can always cover us, which makes us extremely oppressive throughout the court, and this game really exposed a lot of our problems, I think this summer we need to add some more players to come in."

"What about Rashid's contract expiring? yes, we've always known that, and we've been keeping an eye on him, he's been great in his two years with the Hawks, he's been one of the best interior players in the league, we've always been proud of him, he's always been one of our own, I know he's a full free agent right now, it's not convenient for me to talk about his contract right now, the NBA doesn't allow that, but as a Grizzlies fan I think I'd expect him to come back to the Grizzlies, the team's salary space? We never worry about that, because we're not short of money, we have all Canadian support, and we can pursue any free agent if we want to."

For Carlisle, as long as you know a little bit about basketball, this Grizzlies is definitely not just his coaching problem, but the team has a huge problem, and this problem is the sequelae of Rasheed Wallace's departure, as one of the biggest big fish in the free market this year, Hawks player Rasheed Wallace is naturally the focus of these people who associate them with the Grizzlies.

And in fact, after the playoffs this year, Rasheed Wallace did say publicly to people that he didn't want to be a little brother anymore, he had no interest in staying with the Hawks, and his first choice was to be able to go to a team that could be the first core, but it was a pity that although Wallace was very popular, but the age was there, and his previous bad deeds were also there, and whoever asked him to be the boss was guilty of two.

In this case, it is impossible for the interior to be the boss, which is why many people think that Rashid will return to the Grizzlies, after all, he can't be a team boss, but he still hopes that his boss can be stronger. Aren't the strongest in the league now Carter, Duncan, and O'Fat? The Lakers are overcrowded, and the Spurs don't need him. Of course, these people were also extremely excited after getting Carlisle's positive response, even Zhuang Fei on the side was shocked when he heard Carlisle say this, you know, if this grizzly bear really finds an inside line of Rashid's level. It's really hard for the Celtics to beat this grizzly bear, of course, all this needs them to get, but even so, Zhuang Fei is a little sideways.

Chauncey made 1 of 7 three-pointers in the game? There's nothing wrong with that, that's his choice, I never doubt his shot selection, his shot is reasonable at any time, but he didn't feel very good today. Maybe James Posey is too tall for him, and he's been pressed to get rid of James Posey's defense, which is really a bit difficult for him, and I gave James Posey the vote for the first line of defense of the year. He's a great defender, like Chauncey was able to choke Wade, and it's hard to change anything about that kind of thing, and that requires his own adjustments. Of course, these games don't affect my satisfaction with him all season."

If the Celtics' selection of the worst players in this series is likely to be Ao and Wade, then for the Grizzlies, it is almost certain that it will be Billups. This civilian MVP, who has been known by many people as the big heart in later generations, has been a famous wave shooting king in the league before coming to the Grizzlies, and the shooting rate is not stable after coming to the Grizzlies, and what is even more criticized is that his shooting rate is below 30% when he faces James Posey directly opposite him in his career, and it is 25% all year round.

And what is even more unacceptable is that the Celtics are the main opponent of the Grizzlies, just like Jordan was afraid of flying squirrels and James Posey was afraid of Iverson, whether it was the Raptors or Iverson's 76ers were not the main opponents of the Bulls and the Celtics, of course, for Billups, he was very sluggish in the face of the Celtics, it was like this in the past, and it is the same now, but a little better, as Carlisle said, he is very good at Wade's defense, The Celtics' hottest rookie of the year, Wade, who had an excellent performance in the previous round, struggled to get off to a start against Billups in this series. This is also a one-thing-to-one, but relative to Billups, the Celtics' dependence on Wade is not as great as the Grizzlies' dependence on Loops.

When the Grizzlies faced the Celtics, especially this one, they exposed a lot of shortcomings, and it was the kind of shortcomings that were difficult to solve, in this case, this post-game press conference almost became a press conference for these reporters to see them off, especially some pessimistic Canadian media, you know, the place they will go to next is Boston, which can basically be said to be nine dead or even ten dead, and it is precisely because of this that the problems that Carlisle chooses to face are also based on the summary of the series, This also made Carlisle a little embarrassed and at the same time made Zhuang Fei on the side shake his head a little, no matter what the advantage of the Celtics is now, after all, this team has not yet won in the end.

"The Grizzlies are a great team, they were champions two seasons ago and now they're doing a great job, like their defense, and this is the first time this season that we've not scored more than 90 points in two consecutive games, and this should be the first time in my career, whether it's in the Timberwolves or in the Celtics now, both of these games are the two worst games we've played offensively, we have a terrible hand, we feel terrible offensively, and of course, The opposition defended well, so it was a lucky thing to win this game, we played our best performance of the season in attack and defence, of course, it seems simpler to defend compared to attack, but I think my team will find their attacking form again."

"Carter's 40 points? Letting Carter get 40 points shouldn't be our mistake, right? I think in the past, Carter was able to play a minimum of 40 points against us, and now we've done a great job, Vince's efficiency is decreasing, and his overall scoring is declining against us, and that's a credit to our defensive system, and I think right now, there shouldn't be any team in the league that can score 50 points or 60 points against us in a game, whether it's Carter or Duncan or Shaq."

Just like many reporters who pay attention to Carlisle's problem is to pay attention to the Grizzlies' actions in the summer or the team's summary of the season, at this time, many reporters are already paying attention to the next round of the Celtics' matchup, and this may also be something different that Zhuang Fei established last season. The Celtics also led the Grizzlies 3-1, but the majority of the media at the time thought that the Grizzlies could pull the score to 3-3, and now, these people no longer have such thoughts.

"Who would the Lakers and Timberwolves prefer to make the Finals? There's no doubt about it, of course it's the Timberwolves, I've always been a Timberwolves fan, I've been following this team as well, they're having some difficulties right now, the 0-3 score is not a reflection of their strength, they have the ability to win the game, but it takes all of them to work and I don't think the Lakers can sweep them, they have a great championship tradition, the Timberwolves have a lot of championship players on the team right now, and I'm sure they can know what to do, And I still believe that Carl can do some amazing things, he has the ability."

After the fourth game between the Celtics and the Grizzlies, almost everyone in the United States was thinking that the Celtics had entered the Finals, and the chances of the Grizzlies in the fifth game were very slim, no matter what kind of mentality these reporters and experts had to make their predictions, but this round of the series matchup was indeed like this, on June 1, the fifth game between the Boston Celtics and the Grizzlies at home, the Celtics defeated the Grizzlies by 9 points 102-93 at home and entered the Finals.

This is also the second year in a row that the Celtics have reached the Finals. (To be continued.) )
