Chapter 587: The Tragic Peak Loser
Chapter 587: The Tragic Peak Loser
(I still think that the duel between Kidd and Nash was a miracle, even if Kidd was not at his peak at that time, and I still think that it was a great tragedy for Ray Allen to meet a large number of gods at his peak)
"Coach, now it seems that the matter is perfectly resolved"
In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Stephen Green, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, looked at Zhuang Fei and said with a smile, and after the Boston Celtics finished speaking, Zhuang Fei also nodded slightly, for Stephen Green, he didn't expect that his teacher would have such a huge appeal in Minnesota, just a statement, so that those almost crazy Timberwolves fans all calmed down, this matter is like a legendary fairy tale, just like many media said, In the history of the NBA, only Zhuang Fei is such a head coach can do this, not in the past, and may not be the same in the future, for such a point of view, Stephen Green is very much in agreement, in the history of the NBA, there may be many coaches who have more championships than their teachers, have deep qualifications, and have been in a team for a long time, but all this is not the standard for judging a head coach's influence on fans and teams. Come on,.!
"This matter is not over yet, it still needs to see Mr. George Carr's performance next season" Zhuang Fei looked at his disciple, and then said with some sighs, although he asked the Timberwolves fans to give George Carl a chance to prove himself again, those Timberwolves fans did not continue to entangle now, but if George Carl is still like this next season, then it is estimated that he will definitely leave. In the final analysis, Zhuang Fei just gave George Carl a reprieve, and could not give him a death-free card.
"If Mr. Carl still can't get back on track with the Timberwolves next season, then it's a very good choice to get out of class, and it's all because we are looking at the wrong person" Stephen Green looked at his teacher with a little melancholy and said with a smile, in his opinion, Zhuang Fei has done this step enough, and there is no need to guarantee anything for George Karl's future.
"That's right, it's me thinking too much, if there is no way to succeed in the Timberwolves for two seasons, it means that we have a wrong vision, he really does not have the ability to lead the Timberwolves" After hearing Green's words, Zhuang Fei, who was originally a little melancholy, was also a lot brighter in his heart, the authorities were fascinated, and compared with Green, Zhuang Fei's feelings for the Timberwolves were deeper, and they were also deeper.
"That's right, Stephen, the Heat's scouting report is ready" Looking at the disciple Zhuang Fei who had just come in front of him, he asked with a smile again, the game between the Boston Celtics and the Heat is on May 6th, that is, it will start tomorrow at the North Shore Garden, in fact, this is not the first scouting report of the Heat, the Boston Celtics have done many scouting reports before, just before the game starts, It is necessary to make a summary analysis of some specific conditions of Heat players, or whether the latest physical conditions of some Heat players are injured, etc. So after Zhuang Fei asked this, Green quickly put a stack of reports in his hand on Zhuang Fei's table, and Zhuang Fei just glanced down at it, just nodded and didn't say much, because most of the things in it Zhuang Fei had seen a few days ago.
Now that all the games in the first round of the NBA have been over, the Boston Celtics' opponent is the Heat, who defeated the Pistons with a score of 4-1 in the first round, this team's performance in the first round is extremely good, and it can even be said to be magical, because most people think that this team and the Pistons are actually half a catty, but the final result is that this team almost defeated the Pistons in a sweeping manner, which directly led to the departure of Pistons head coach Carlisle. It can be said that the current state of the Heat is extremely good, In particular, Zhuang Fei found from the scouting report that the Heat core Mourning's assists in the first half of the season were 1.8 per game, but after the second half of the season, the number of assists reached 5.3, and the player's mistakes were also much higher in the second half of the season than in the first half of the season, after adding the end of the first round of five games, the inside average of 20 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game also made Zhuang Fei very concerned, it is obvious that the strange change in the player's data in the second half of the season is because the team is now under the leadership of Pat Riley to fully start playing the No. 5 tactic, and judging from the current situation, this team's No. 5 tactic is playing well.
Of course, in addition to the Boston Celtics and the Heat in the first round, another match in the East is the Grizzlies, who are second in the East, and the Wizards, who are third in the East, in the first round of the competition, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Pacers with a score of 4-1, the Grizzlies and the Pacers were opponents in the first round in the playoffs last season, so they are absolutely familiar to these two teams, the current new leader of the Pacers, Joe Johnson, is also an alumnus of the same school as Carter, and is also known as Carter Jr., And the score of this round of the series is like the gap between Carter and Joe Johnson, the Pacers are a little difficult to reach the Grizzlies, if it weren't for the fourth Reggie Miller broke out at home, slashing 44 points, 11 of 15 three-pointers broke the NBA playoffs single-game three-point record in one fell swoop, the previous record was 9 held by Carter and Rex Chapman, the NBA's current all-time leading scorer directly raised this record by 2, but a team's victory needs to rely on such magic, Then for this team, they are not far from defeat, after all, Reggie Miller is now older, and it can score fewer and fewer times, in this case, the Pacers almost won the fourth game of Reggie Miller's scoring by a narrow score, and the other four games were all big losses of more than 15 points.
It can be said that compared with the Boston Celtics in the first round, the first round of the Vancouver Grizzlies is more strong and freehand, so after the first round of games, many experts are still optimistic that this team can successfully defend the title, the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies and the Heat in the East are all five games to advance, and compared with these three teams, the Wizards' road to promotion is a little worrying, because this team has played six games with the Nets, and even almost played seven. Because in the sixth game between the two sides, the Wizards led by Nash and Jordan played 2 overtimes with the Nets at the home court of the Nets, and finally beat the Nets with a terrifying score of 161-157, and the two teams scored a total of 318 points in this record game, the league's new triple-double Kidd scored a game-high 44 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists, while Nash on the other side was 42 points, 5 rebounds and 16 assists, Jordan also scored 33 points, The Nets seven-man scoring double-double, the Wizards are six scoring double-doubles, plus the two teams hit 33 three-pointers in a game together, it can be said that from any aspect, this game is almost the ultimate offensive battle in the basketball game, especially the performance of the two point guards of these two teams is the first time in NBA history that two dominant point guards have played 40+14 data in a game. So after the Nets were eliminated, everyone also felt that it was a pity, this year Kidd's form has reached his peak, and it can be said that this team is only a little bit behind the five strongest teams in the league.
Kidd is in good shape now, and has reached his personal peak, but in the end he was blocked by the Wizards and Nash out of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Kidd has the same experience as the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the SuperSonics are sixth in the West, and the Mavericks are third in the West, and the ranking is also consistent with the Wizards and the Nets, and the intensity of this round of matchups is much higher than that of the Wizards and the Nets, the Wizards and the Nets played a total of 3 overtimes in six games, while the Mavericks and the SuperSonics played 7 overtimes in seven games, Among them, the tie-break battle between these two teams played four overtimes, and in the end, the Mavericks defeated the SuperSonics 144-141 with Finley's three-point shot at the last moment, and in this round of the series between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, SuperSonics star Ray Allen averaged 46.5 points per game, and the average number of three-pointers per game was 6, this player's 55 points in the seventh game also made him one of the league's 50-point clubs in the playoffs, if you look at individual performance, the playoff average of 46.5 points and 5.5 assists per game, in seven games 40+ scoring guard is not worse than Kidd, although because of the overtime of this round of matchups, the defender averaged 51 minutes per game, Although the Mavericks' defense is fragile, his performance can still be said to be perfect, and it can even be said that the defeat is even more tragic, and it is extremely painful for any team and any player to leave the game in the form of a shutout.
Of course, these two games are the two most intense matchups in the first round of this year's playoffs, although the Lakers and Timberwolves also played seven games, but almost none of these seven games were within 5 points, basically two teams won quickly or one team made too many mistakes or the other team seized the opportunity to win, so although the big score of this matchup was very intense, the game process was not as perfect as the other two matchups, Those two matchups can make everyone feel that all four teams have performed perfectly, just because the opponents are more perfect.
In the West, apart from these two games, the game between the Spurs and the Warriors is almost the least suspenseful, Anthony Walker has been in a bit of a dip at the end of the season, and the team is now adjusting to the situation, in which case it is a little unrealistic for this team to compete with the Spurs. So this series is also the only one in the first round of this year's playoffs to sweep 4-0, and in the other game between the Kings and the Trail Blazers, the Kings defeated the Trail Blazers led by Gasol and alien Kassel with a score of 4-1.
