The Boston Celtics played easily in their first playoff game, both in terms of score and on the field, the Cavaliers, a team that rose rapidly in the second half of the schedule, are now somewhat completely contained in front of the Celtics, which has never been seen in the crazy Cavaliers some time ago. []

It can be said that the Celtics have contained this team from the root, so the media who predicted the extremely difficult battle between Zhuang Fei and the Celtics in this round of playoffs before the game are also a little embarrassed.

"We played to our strengths, we used our characteristics very successfully, and that's the key to our win in this game, the Cavaliers are a very strong team, I think so far, I don't think we will have such a huge advantage in the next game, but no matter what, the winner of this round will be Celtic, and my opinion on that has not changed."

Zhuang Fei was also in a good mood at the post-game press conference, after all, the victory in this game can allow Zhuang Fei to establish the foundation and direction of defeating the Cavaliers, this is not a simple victory, so John Lucas on the side is also very aware of this, so the Cavaliers head coach who swore before the game is in a bad mood now.

"The NBA team has been pushing another NBA team to death? It's really rare before, this game was an accident, we never thought it would happen, we never prepared like this, it was really my mistake in that regard, as Coach Z said. We're a strong team, we're a playoff team at the same level as the Celtics, we're not going to be forced to death by them again, we're going to show you a different Cavaliers in the next game, I swear, we're not going to lose this series."

It's an absolute shame to be killed by a team in an NBA game with a gambling defense like pressing, which is usually against a team or player who is one level weaker than their own strength and talent. Just like the U.S. team playing full-court pressing or half-time pressing against international teams in the international arena, this is the difference in strength, which is like the Chinese team going to the international arena and being played to death by other teams in this way. This is the absolute difference in strength, and no matter how much other so-called cracking methods say, it is useless. And in the NBA, most teams are close in strength. Even the first in the league and the bottom of the league can't play like this, but in this game, this kind of thing happened, which really made Lucas very depressed, which was basically telling others in disguise that his Cavaliers and Celtics were not on the same level.

Of course, although the head coach of the Cavaliers has always attributed this to an accident, but in his heart the head coach is not calm, before this round of the series, he really did not think that the Celtics actually suppressed the Cavaliers in five positions in terms of speed, height and strength, which is the first time in the NBA that such a level difference is estimated. Even in the NBA, there is no such bizarre comparison.

At this time, the head coach is also completely in a headache, if the opponent makes up his mind to play one-on-one with you purely based on talent, the former Rockets legend really can't find a way, and what makes him even more speechless is that the first round of the NBA playoffs is a best-of-five system, and now he doesn't have much time to find a way. []

In the post-game press conference of this game, Zhuang Fei never said much to stimulate the Cavaliers. On the contrary, these reporters are constantly stimulating the current head coach of the Cavaliers, John Lucas, which also makes the coach only care about explaining to reporters in the post-game press conference. …,

This year's playoffs are a little different from previous years' games in terms of time arrangement, although this year is also in the first two days of the playoffs, sixteen teams are divided into eight groups, in the first two days are four groups of teams playing every day, but the second game after that is only two teams on the court every day, so the second game of the Boston Celtics and Cavaliers is also scheduled for April 25, that is, four days later, for the playoffs, such a break is a bit long.

The day after the Boston Celtics beat the Cavaliers at home. Basically most of the media coverage revolved around this game, in fact, there were three other games played at the same time as the Boston Celtics vs. Cavaliers, but in terms of the final results, those three games were not as dramatic as this game, and what was supposed to be a similar prediction turned out to be one-sided.

It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics no longer care about this kind of public opinion.

'How are the players doing now'

In the chairman's office of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei looked at Stephen Green, who had just come in from the training hall, with a smile and asked, Zhuang Fei did not give these Celtics players a holiday after the last game, and they don't need to take a vacation for these young players now, and even Zhuang Fei is ready to give Celtics players more training these days, in addition to the extra practice, many of the Celtics players are playing the playoffs for the first time, and Zhuang Fei is also very worried about these emotional things.

"It's good now, these players are very excited now, and it looks like they all want to come early in the next game," Stephen Green also said with a smile, and Zhuang Fei also nodded after listening to Stephen Green's words.

Zhuang Fei is a head coach who has been dealing with young players, he is very aware of the characteristics of young players, these young players are extremely full of emotions before they encounter setbacks, which is also the advantage of young people, when they play smoothly, they will become more and more crazy, for Zhuang Fei in the first round of the playoffs Celtics players in this state is not a bad thing, for an opponent like the Cavaliers just need to be more crazy.

"Stephen, you have to pay more attention to the physical condition of these players recently" Zhuang Fei finally instructed the assistant coach, emotional excitement and fullness is a good thing, but it also needs to be controlled, if these people have all their energy on the training ground, this is also an extremely undesirable thing for Zhuang Fei, and now Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green still need to keep these players hungry.

Naturally, Stephen Green is also clear about this. So after getting Zhuang Fei's task, the assistant coach also smiled without hesitation, nodded and left.

"Sometimes the rest period of the game is more cumbersome and difficult than the game" Zhuang Fei finally looked at Stephen Green's back and sighed, every NBA head coach will want to have an assistant coach who can handle anything for himself, especially the daily affairs of the team, the daily affairs of the NBA are extremely trivial, it is impossible for a head coach to spend most of his time on this when studying the opponent, and at this time a very capable assistant coach is needed, Even in some NBA teams, the head coach is just a conductor on the court. For example, Phil Jackson of the Lakers, he has a lot more assistant coaches than Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei thinks that the reason why he needs to develop Green has not hired another assistant coach. Although the assistant coach was a bit of a scramble at the beginning, now the assistant coach is able to handle these things very well.

Zhuang Fei has always considered himself a lucky man, and this is not just because of the dynastic system. But whether he is in Wake Forest, or the Timberwolves, or the current Celtics, he has a very good assistant coach, which can take a huge burden off him. So not long ago, Green said that he was ready to resign, and he was also shocked, because now Zhuang Fei can't find anyone who can replace Green in a short period of time. …,

"Zhuang, congratulations, you have been named the NBA Coach of the Year in the regular season"

Just when Zhuang Fei was still thinking about his assistant coach, the team's deputy general manager Danny Anji ran in with some excitement, and then he was still at the door and began to shout at Zhuang Fei.

"I'm the best manager?" Zhuang Fei looked at Danny Anji, who was standing in front of him with an excited face, and was stunned.

The competition for the best head coach position this season is fierce, and Zhuang Fei doesn't think he has a chance to win the award, although he has brought the reorganized Celtics to the second place in the Eastern Conference No. 2, but the coaches who can bring the team to such an improvement this season are the Wizards' D'Antoni and the Pistons' Rick Carlisle. Both coaches have also achieved great breakthroughs in their own teams.

And Zhuang Fei was the best head coach last year, and the NBA best head coach has not even appeared in Lian Zhuang, although Zhuang Fei was in the Timberwolves last year, Zhuang Fei has always believed that the league will have higher requirements for himself.

In addition to these reasons, there is an even more important reason that this season Grizzlies head coach Jerry West has played the league's longest 34-game winning streak and finished first in the league. It can be said that in addition to not getting as much progress as Zhuang Fei and the Celtics, this coach is not worse than himself in any way, and it can even be said that he is even better, and he is the best coach of the season in Zhuang Fei's heart.

"Congratulations, Zhuang, you became the first person in NBA history to win the NBA Head Coach of the Year award. You are also the person who has won the best coach in the NBA the most times, the same as Nelson and Pat Riley" Danny Ange looked at Zhuang Fei a little stunned and then reconfirmed that the last time a coach won the title of best coach in the Boston Celtics was back in 1979-1980, and it has been 22 years since then, so Danny Ange is also extremely excited about this honor.

"What about Jerry? Why not him," Zhuang Fei asked, looking at the somewhat excited deputy general manager of the Boston Celtics.

"Mr. Jerry West is the best general manager of the year," Danny Anji glanced at Zhuang Fei with some curiosity and replied, and Zhuang Fei also had a sudden feeling of realization after hearing Danny Anji's answer.

"So that's the case" Zhuang Fei finally smiled helplessly, in the eyes of the league, Jerry West is more like a trader than a commander, and Zhuang Fei is the opposite, originally this season both of them are general managers and head coaches, and both of them have the strength to win these two awards, but in the end, the league is based on the most suitable candidates.

Zhuang Fei won the best head coach of the season, which also caused a sensation in the NBA circle and the media, naturally there are many people who are crying out for Jerry West, and some people are lamenting Zhuang Fei's good luck and strength, after all, there are only two people like Zhuang Fei who can win three best coaches, and none like him have won a row, and more importantly, this head coach has only been in the NBA for four years, and he has won three awards in four years, which is definitely an amazing achievement.

Although the outside world is still hyping about Zhuang Fei's best head coach, the second game between Zhuang Fei and the Cavaliers started on time at North Shore Garden on April 25.

If the Cavaliers want to defeat the Celtics, they must crack the defensive strategy of the Celtics using their physical talents to press directly, in fact, it is very simple to say for this kind of defense, that is, to put the ball in the hands of the most suitable player and let him solve the problem one-on-one, you must know that under this kind of defense, the space of the defensive team is very open, it can be said that as long as you break through your own defensive players, there is a smooth road inside, which is a gambling tactic that can beat the defensive team into a sieve.

And in the second game, the Cavaliers did have a great strengthening in this regard, although the Boston Celtics were absolutely superior in physical talent, but the Cavaliers who were only prepared were not so easy to deal with, but what made John Lucas speechless was that even if the Cavaliers can handle this kind of defense very well now, they can also take advantage of the Celtics' defensive openings to score easily, but the team still lost the final game, and the final score was 105-97, and the Cavaliers lost by 8 points away. It also allowed the Boston Celtics to get a match point at home.

In fact, Zhuang Fei never thought of using tight defense to completely play dead knights when he used tight defense, Zhuang Fei knew that this was unrealistic.

Pressing defense is just a pretense, when Zhuang Fei let the Cavaliers and Lucas focus all their energy on how to break the Celtics' pressing, the Celtics let the Cavaliers slowly forget their biggest weapon, that is, the rhythm of the game, when this team loses this weapon, no matter how they play with the Celtics' pressing, this team will not be the opponent of the Celtics, and the reason why the Cavaliers lost this game is also for this reason, Right now, the team hasn't noticed the priorities or the way to do it yet.
