The NBA Finals of the Boston Celtics started on June 9th, that is, four days after the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves, the time interval of this game is actually not very bad for the Lakers, and it can even be said that it is a very suitable time arrangement, this team is mostly veterans, and four days can make them relax, of course, in the same way, the time of these four days is a little unfavorable for the Lakers, I am afraid that they do not have much time to study the Boston Celtics, It's also impossible to get as much preparation time as the Boston Celtics.

After all, since the end of the game with the Grizzlies on June 1, the Boston Celtics have been preparing for the game against the Lakers these days, and in fact, for the Lakers, the hottest team this year and the most reported by the media, in fact, everyone is no stranger to them, this is a team that is completely in the spotlight, this is a team without any secrets, of course, it is also because of their absolute strength, even if they have no secrets, this team can rely on their own strength to crush the opponentThis is a very helpless thing, as if everyone knows that the Lakers' offense is very simple, either Malone and Payton blocking or Fat and Kobe Bryant's singles, but no one can crack their extremely simple pattern.

And for Zhuang Fei, what surprised him a little was that Phil Jackson, who defeated the Timberwolves on June 5 to enter the Finals, expressed his attitude towards Zhuang Fei for the first time this year, in fact, for many people, as long as the Lakers enter the Finals this year, they can basically win the championship, because many people think that the Lakers are the nemesis of the Celtics, just like the two teams meet in the regular season, the Boston Celtics can be said to be a complete defeat home and away, and in fact, The Lakers and Celtics did have some flavor of mutual restraint, at that time, the Celtics' main offensive tactics were the triangle offense, and the Lakers were perhaps one of the best teams in the league to defend the triangle offense, and at that time the Celtics' defensive system was team defense.

But the Lakers' offense is a very personal offense, and even many times, the Boston Celtics' collective defense is a little bit of a single Ao Fat or a little difficult, in this case, it is not surprising that the offensive and defensive ends of the two games in the regular season were exploded, of course, but for many people, especially Celtics fans, it is too far away to take two games, it all dates back to before January this year, and the Celtics at that time were building their own defensive system. It was also when Wade was being integrated, at that time, the strength of the Celtics was not very strong, or not as strong as many people imagined, at least it was not as good as the Celtics in the finals last season, and it was far inferior. Of course, regardless of the true strength of the Celtics in the first two months of the season, after all, it is a fact that they were double-killed by the Lakers, and in this case, there is no way to be underestimated by the media, or by Phil Jackson.

"Boston Celtics? Originally, I thought our opponent would be the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies beat us in the Finals two years ago, and we are ready to come to the Finals for revenge, but the final opponent is the Celtics, which is not bad, this is a very good team, they were last year's champions, they beat a group of old men with a group of rookies last year, should I say congratulations to them now? Yes, they did a good job, last year the Spurs were a very special team, we were able to win against them, but last year we lost, but now, we don't have the same problems as last year, and without a doubt, we are the strongest, and that's the basis for us to be able to beat Celtic."

"First in the regular season? We didn't think about this, in fact, at present, the overall strength of the western team is far stronger than that of the east. It's the same in terms of the number of top teams and the quality of the lottery teams, so it's very difficult for us to compete for the top spot in the regular season for the Western Conference team, because if the Boston Celtics need to give 85% of their effort to be the first team in the regular season, then we need to give 100% of the effort, but obviously we don't want to give 100% of our strength in the regular season. Since Celtic are 85 per cent, we can do the same, but as you can see, we're not winning a lot, and it's really good that we're able to do that in the West, which proves that we're really stronger."

These are Lakers head coach Phil Jackson's comments on the Boston Celtics after the game with the Timberwolves, although the Lakers' head coach did not explicitly ignore the Celtics, but it is obvious that basically everyone can see the contempt and contempt in the Lakers head coach's tone, in fact, for everyone they know, these words are just Phil Jackson's pressure on the Celtics before the Finals begin, or to create public opinion pressure, and now public opinion has been on the side of the Lakers.

And at this time, the head coach of the Lakers may really be able to make them occupy a better position in the situation, you know, in the United States, whether it is the NBA or the NFL, these professional leagues are greatly affected by public opinion, of course, many times, public opinion guidance is useless or even wrong, but more often this can indeed have an extremely good effect, and for the Lakers, it can suppress the Celtics in momentum, so that the Celtics are more cautious, Then he succeeded, a restrained enemy is no longer a terrible enemy, and an opponent who has always lived under his own strength is not a terrible opponent.

But obviously, Zhuang Fei is no stranger to Phil Jackson's side strategy, because he is the most proficient in this strategy, especially in the Timberwolves' sentence 'I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents' which directly made the King collapse, and Zhuang Fei also used such a strategy against the Grizzlies last season, so almost a day after Phil Jackson just came out and said this, Zhuang Fei, who has rarely accepted non-league interviews, also immediately responded to the Lakers head coach's provocation.

"Yes. The Celtics really don't have anything remarkable, only 11 of our team's 15 players have championship rings, and among these 11 people, only Stephen, Jermaine has three championship rings, and our team's 15 people actually only have a total of 15 championship rings, which is very weak, but I never know, how many championship rings do the Lakers' 15 players have, 20? Thirty? Or forty? ”

"I've always admired the words of former Rockets head coach Tang Shuai, never underestimate the heart of a championship, I think every one of our 15-player team with 15 championship rings has a championship heart, so each of us is extremely determined. We're going to let everybody know we're determined, the Lakers are strong. If you want to say that he is the strongest team in the NBA right now, I don't think many people will object, but I want to say it. The game is not over yet, I hope Mr. Phil Jackson can maintain this optimism in half a month."

Obviously, this is Zhuang Fei's counterattack against Phil Jackson, no matter what the purpose of these two people staged this time whether it is psychological warfare or a war of words, but obviously, this is very in line with the appetite of the media, and it is also very in line with the appetite of the NBA, in fact, there are indeed too many people looking forward to this finals, almost from the first day Zhuang Fei entered the NBA, many people are looking forward to the peak showdown between Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson, and the same almost Zhuang Fei said the famous 'I'm here' in the Timberwolves. Phil Jackson doesn't want to win the championship after the Lakers', and this expectation has been mentioned repeatedly.

Obviously. This year's Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson is the time to fulfill their promises, if this year, Zhuang Fei can beat Phil Jackson, then his promise will be fulfilled, because this year, the Lakers were not able to win the championship again, not to mention whether the Lakers gave up Phil Jackson, even if Phil Jackson himself has no face to stay in the Lakers, it is naturally impossible to win the championship in the Lakers in the future, and Zhuang Fei naturally fulfilled his promise. So for Phil Jackson, if he can win this round of finals, then he may be able to return everything that Zhuang Fei gave him before immediately, and Zhuang Fei's words will become a laughing stock all over the world.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson, before the game started, Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson surprised many reporters to spray each other in the newspaper, such as not long after Zhuang Fei's ring theory was thrown. The Lakers head coach immediately threw out a new theory.

"15 rings, 15 champions' hearts? Hehe, we started with the Kings in the first round and moved on to the Raptors in the second round and the Timberwolves in the third round. We happen to have beaten a total of 15 championship rings, so we didn't find anything that championship rings could give them a bonus? Maybe we can beat 15 rings one more time and take a closer look"

In this war of words or psychological warfare, Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson had a lot of fun. No one wants to admit defeat easily, but in the end, what makes reporters feel strange is that in this war of words, neither the Lakers players nor the Celtics players were involved, this is almost all these two people playing, and this quickly made these people understand something, obviously, these two people have not lost their minds, maybe for them their current strategy is actually to divert the pressure on their players, after all, before the start of this season, many people are saying, If the Celtics and Lakers make it to the Finals, it will be the best Finals in the last 20 years, and when that happens, although the Celtics and Lakers players are a group of very experienced players, the pressure is also frightening.

I don't want my team to be under more pressure before the Finals begin, which is the reason why many people speculate in the media about the big battle between Phil Jackson and Zhuang Fei before this year's Finals, after all, for Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson, they didn't have this habit of fighting war of words before, in fact, the NBA as a whole doesn't play this set very much, so soon, when the game time was approaching, under the watchful eyes of the media, the two head coaches actually closed their voices on June 8th, And June 9th is the day when the finals begin, obviously, perhaps for many media or experts, they guessed correctly, these two people who were originally lifelong rivals worked together to play a play

"A year ago, we won the first championship here in 17 years, and it was a great moment, and at that moment, every single one of you involved was the greatest, and in fact, in my heart, you are really a very special group of players, we had a lot of difficulties at the beginning, we had a lot of troubles, like the Grizzlies, like the Heat, like the Spurs, etc., etc., but we all came through step by step. In the end, you also reached the top of the NBA, and you have become the enviable champion player in the eyes of many NBA players."

"But it's not the end, at the very least, it's not enough to be a stop for our efforts, now, today, this season, you can do this greatness better, you can defend the title in the NBA, you will be the first Celtics team in 34 years to defend the title, all of you will be part of the great history of the Boston Celtics, we started with 1 championship in 17 years, and now we are aiming for 34 years of defending the title, I believe you can do better, and I believe that As long as we want, this year's championship will definitely stay in Boston'

On June 9th, at six o'clock in the evening, North Shore Garden, Boston Celtics locker room, Zhuang Fei was excitedly talking to these Celtics players in front of him, and at this time the Celtics players were also very excited, and even players like Xiao Ao and James Posey, who were extremely easy to agitate, were almost all murderous, even Yao Ming, who had always been introverted, was a little red, and the two assistant coaches of the Boston Celtics on one side, Green and Thibode, were also a little secretly surprised. In fact, they have always been curious about Zhuang Fei's agitation ability.

"We're making history right now, and the opportunity to make history is right in front of us, and you're just one step away from the legend, and it's time for us to take that step." (To be continued.) )
