Chapter 699: Chen Jiyuan, who protects the short
Although it was hard, the result was still good, and the Knicks, who won the fourth game, can already be said to have entered the finals with half a foot.
At this time, the most important thing Thibodeau needs to do is to let the players play hard as always, Thibodeau needs to pour cold water on the players at this time, and the Knicks players cannot be infinitely inflated, otherwise, not to mention that they are not prepared for the Celtics to turn the tables, such a mentality, it is easy to suffer if you enter the Finals.
After all, the opponent after entering the Finals, if it is the Suns, fortunately, the Suns are not very experienced in the Finals, but the Suns have playoff experience. If it's the Lakers, that's the guy who has been in the Finals every year for the last two years. Since Gasol came, the team that has entered the Finals for two consecutive years to play against the Celtics is naturally extremely experienced.
What the Knicks lacked was experience. Although there are veterans in the team, few veterans have entered the finals. Not to mention, the Knicks' main lineup is almost all young players.
Although the Knicks are leading the Celtics 3:1, it can't be said that they will definitely enter the finals, after all, there are teams that have been overturned 3:1 in the playoffs, and the most recent is the Lakers who are still playing in the Western Conference finals, which is the team that has been overturned 3:1 recently. by their current opponents, the Suns. In the 2006 playoffs, the Lakers, who took the lead in winning three consecutive cities, were later reversed by the Suns.
Neither Thibodeau nor Chen Jiyuan wants the Knicks to become the ninth team to be reversed like this.
The Knicks completed a 3-1 lead, while the Lakers were in a stalemate, and the Lakers and Suns played a 2-2 tie.
In this case, the fifth game will be crucial, and the victory or defeat will most likely determine the victory or loss of the entire series.
Kobe Bryant is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling to lose to the Suns. In the playoffs, Bryant lost to the Suns enough times that Bryant didn't want to experience that again.
In Game 5, the Knicks managed to win the Eastern Conference championship trophy in front of all the fans on their home court.
I don't know if it's because of the fatigue caused by the last three-overtime, anyway, in this game, the Celtics' Big Three played very badly, and most of the Knicks were young guys, no problem, and they could jump on a dunk after a day off.
The Celtics are not all in their seventies or eighties, but they are about the same. A handful of old bones, you have to count and toss.
In the fifth game, the Knicks easily won on their home court, although the Celtics never gave up the game, and the heart for victory never stopped beating.
However, with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score margin was around 20 points and was not narrowed. Rivers finally had to give up the game.
The Knicks won the game with a score of 117:97.
It's really cool to qualify at home.
Enjoying the crazy shouts of all the New York home fans, enjoying their crazy love. There's nothing more exciting than that.
The moment the game ended. Chen Jiyuan came to the middle of the field, holding his hands high, enjoying the adoring cheers of all the fans. Chen Jiyuan not only proves to all New York fans, but also proves to fans all over the world that the Knicks are strong, the team is strong, and he is strong.
After the game, when Chen Jiyuan was still in the players' tunnel, while the photographer was still there, Britney jumped directly on Chen Jiyuan's body and hung on Chen Jiyuan's body. Fortunately, Britney's motor nerves are not bad, and Chen Jiyuan also reacted immediately.
That's why I put my hands on Britney, otherwise, Britney might have fallen to the ground ugly.
Britney was lying on Chen Jiyuan's back, and Chen Jiyuan should have felt the existence of the two soft masses on his back.
"There is only one last step left before the dream."
This is what Britney whispered in Chen Jiyuan's ear, Chen Jiyuan nodded, for the championship, of course, Chen Jiyuan is also very yearning.
Although he got it in the Cavaliers, it was that time that made Chen Jiyuan yearn for the championship even more, and he was even more yearning for the fact that he led the team to win the championship.
Ivanka watched from the side, pulled Chen Jiyuan, and said in a calm tone: "Hurry up, there is a camera shooting." ”
Chen Jiyuan didn't think much about it, so he half-squatted and motioned for Britney to go down.
After Britney landed, Chen Jiyuan couldn't see the glance of Britney glaring at Ivanka behind him, nor could he see the faint smug smile on the corner of Ivanka's mouth.
In the post-game interview, Thibodeau and Rivers still had a good relationship. Therefore, in the process of being interviewed, Thibodeau still tried his best to save face for his opponent and praise his opponent.
But the relationship between the head coach is the relationship between the head coach.
There were many clashes between the two teams on the pitch, as well as countless small actions that were ignored. So that both teams don't have a good impression of each other.
Especially Chen Jiyuan and Garnett, this is a game related to the ticket issue of the finals, so they naturally played desperately. Neither side wants to lose the game, neither wants to stop there. Naturally, it is impossible to get up in harmony.
Especially in the process of Garnett's play, there are constant small movements, and Lefu is also devastated. In the process of aligning with Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan also experienced these actions a lot. Chen Jiyuan was naturally not to be outdone, and returned it as much as possible.
In the post-game interview, a reporter asked Chen Jiyuan: "You performed very well today, do you think this is because the Celtics' main team was more tired in the three-overtime game the day before yesterday?" ”
Chen Jiyuan didn't care about this or that, and didn't save face for the three elders of the Celtics at all: "I don't know if there is this reason, but our strength is stronger than our opponents, and this is the reason why we were able to win the game and successfully advance." ”
Soon, another reporter asked: "The Celtics have committed quite bad fouls on you several times, what do you think of such behavior?" "It's a complete act of fanning the flames and other acts of fighting.
"Oh, that's part of the game, of course, it's a terrible experience when that happens, you know, I'm strong, I'm not afraid of any opponent, but only if you don't act out of line."
Not only Chen Jiyuan, but Lefu is also full of complaints about Garnett.
When Lefu was interviewed, although he did not name who it was, he bluntly said, "The opponent's small actions really annoy me." And as soon as I make a move, they will ask the referee for a foul in a very exaggerated way. He looks very weak. ”
Lefou's words instantly made the reporters excited.
And just as the reporters thought, when these words were reported, Lefu was instantly scolded for being inhuman.
You know, what is the status of the wolf king in the NBA, and what is the status of Lefu in the NBA? It's not a level at all, is it?
Lefou, a young man who has only been in the NBA for so two years, what is he going to do with the wolf king. That's the king who has been famous in the NBA for more than ten years, and Lefu is at best a little guy who has performed well.
Now this little guy dares to shoot at the king. It's almost like looking for death.
Lefou's performance in the entire series with the Celtics was not very good, which made Lefu very upset, and he felt upset that he was not strong enough, and at this time, he had to endure Garnett's small actions and various behaviors in every game, and for the sake of the game, he couldn't get angry. Lefu is really aggrieved, no, no, no.
That's why after the game, Lefu will have such a statement.
As a power forward, Lefu did not play against anyone other than Garnett in the entire series. Therefore, Lefou's speech is naturally about Garnett. This is also the main reason why Lefu was angry by the majority of fans.
Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Suns is also over, and the Lakers have successfully won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain, no matter who advances, the Knicks have a little time to rest and adjust their state.
During this time, Chen Jiyuan was worried that Lefu was feeling pressure because of the fans' comments. So I also talked to Lefu on purpose. Whether it has an effect or not, Chen Jiyuan is not clear. After all, this thing must have to go through it yourself, and after experiencing it, you can mature in your heart and be able to deal with these things.
When Chen Jiyuan was training in the team, Britney found Chen Jiyuan and said that there is a newspaper that wants to interview you, my uncle and their boss are good friends, and I hope you can give face. Chen Jiyuan didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.
Chen Jiyuan accepted this interview after the training, and the reporter said to Chen Jiyuan: "Does Kevin's irrational behavior a few days ago make him very troubled now? ”
As soon as Chen Jiyuan heard this, he instantly burst out.
Although there is still a smile on his face, but in this smile, there is no warmth, and all I see is a cold winter.
"Irrational behavior? Kevin's? I don't know what you're talking about, I don't understand what you're asking? Hehe, I think you should think about what you're talking about? ”
Before this reporter spoke, the reporter was choked, but not to be outdone: "Kevin Love publicly sprayed Kevin Garnett a few days ago, doesn't Kevin Love have nothing to say now?" ”
"Huh!" Chen Jiyuan didn't care whether what this reporter said was true or not, but Chen Jiyuan completely received his provocative meaning.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Kevin never sprayed Kevin Garnett, he just said some facts, those were part of the game, and the post-game interview was just part of the game, I don't think there's anything irrational about that, and I don't think Kevin Lefu should have anything to say. As for the interview between us, I don't think I have much more to say. ”
After saying this, Chen Jiyuan turned around and left.
