Chapter 603: The craziest playoff scramble

"There is really no suspense that they lost this game, it is not easy to escape from the Spurs after such a random fight"

Now the playoffs have begun to enter the white-hot stage, the Boston Celtics have won both games on their home court, which is a perfect way to keep their home court advantage, and like the Boston Celtics, the Spurs in the West are also perfectly defending their home court advantage on their home court.\\

Even the Spurs even the process of the game is very similar to the Boston Celtics, the last game this team defeated the Lakers 89-82 at home, the Lakers forgot their boss Fat in the last minute of the last game, and finally made the team fail, and this second game, the Boston Celtics won by 11 points at home, which is a big victory.

The Spurs defeated the Lakers 114-95 at home by 19 points, which was also a big victory, and even the Spurs only used three quarters to drag this matchup into garbage time, because at the end of the third quarter, the difference in this game has reached 27 points, it can be said that this is a complete slaughter, unlike the last game when the Spurs beat the Lakers, the last game of the Lakers was able to adhere to the tactics of the interior for most of the game, and the final loss was not lost on the inside.

And in this game, the Los Angeles Lakers did not adhere to the inside-based strategy like the last game at the beginning, and at the beginning the team borrowed the methods of Zhuang Fei and the Spurs, because in this season, the best record in the face of the Spurs is the Boston Celtics, and this season the Boston Celtics completed the double kill of the Spurs, in this case, it is not a bad thing for Phil Jackson to learn from Zhuang Fei's methods.

It's just obvious that even if the Lakers have Kobe, it is impossible for him to cause big damage to the Spurs on the outside by himself, because the Lakers are outside after 7 in the first quarter of this game, 2 of 9 in the second quarter, 2 of 7 in the third quarter, and 8 of 23 in the third quarter, the Lakers' leading player only made 4 fouls on Eric Williams in the face of Eric Williams' defense, and only got 10 free throws, in fact, for an outside player, It's not a small time to have 10 free throws in a game, but it's obvious that the Lakers want to kill the Spurs' outside line, and it is far from enough to only make 10 free throws, because except for Kobe, the other Lakers don't have a free throw opportunity outside, and the whole team points at Kobe, but Kobe Bryant not only has a very low shooting rate in the face of Eric Williams and Scott Pippen's rotational defense, but also fails to complete the task assigned by Phil Jackson.

Zhuang Fei can see that Phil Jackson is giving up his tradition in this game and seeking change, but it is clear that from the results of the game, his gamble to seek change is a failure, this game because of his gamble, the Lakers, who could compete with the Spurs in terms of strength, finally caused this kind of tragedy almost in recent years, so after this game, Zhuang Fei can see the accusations of those bookmakers against the Lakers head coach from the various media that he received today, so to speak, At this time, the head coach who brought the Lakers to the verge of being swept by the Spurs is on the verge of Xinyu's collapse, or most of the reputation he has gained with the Bulls has almost disappeared at this time, and this is the reality, no one will always wait for you to rise, what everyone wants to see is a rapid rise and immediate results.

In fact, for the Lakers head coach who has now completely lost control of the team, Zhuang Fei is now more sympathetic to his old opponent, the current Lakers are no longer a triangular offensive team at all, for this team where Kobe Bryant and Ao Fat take turns to pick the hammer, Phil Jackson really doesn't know what to do, he has never been good at dealing with these problems, if the relationship between Jordan and Pippen is really harmonious in the Bulls, it is estimated that he will be as anxious as he is now in the Lakers, The current Kobe Bryant is not Pippen, and O'Fat is not Jordan. Sometimes there's not much you can do for a manager.

"Coach, do you think the Lakers are running out of skills now?" In Zhuang Fei's office, the team's assistant coach Stephen Green stood on Zhuang Fei's side and asked, because of Szebiak, he paid more attention to the Lakers' game, although this season's Lakers three leaders have some taste of nominal existence, but the Lakers' hard power is indeed very strong, even better than the Spurs, such a team is difficult for anyone to believe that they will continue to lose.

"Of course not" Zhuang Fei looked at Green with a smile and continued: "The Lakers did not fail in this series, they performed well for most of the first game, as long as they can keep going, they can cause enough trouble for the Spurs, and even complete the reversal, the only uncertainty now is how much control Phil Jackson still has over the Lakers' locker room, if it really gets out of control, then this team is really finished"

"If the Lakers want to win, then Szczebiak will snort and score more than 20 points, this is not a hard indicator, but the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Ao Fat must play the ball again, whether it is to Szzambiak or others, but from the current point of view, it seems to be extremely difficult for this Laker to become selfless" Finally, Zhuang Fei also said with emotion.

"Is this Laker going to be more selfless?" When Zhuang Fei said this, Stephen Green on the side shook his head helplessly, because the second game between the Lakers and the Spurs was after excluding the garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Lakers had a total of 56 shots in the first three quarters, and Fat and Kobe Bryant accounted for a total of 40 times, and the team's three leaders Szzerbiak hit 2 times out of five shots and scored 5 points, Szzambiak's five shots were already the most shots among other Lakers players besides Fat and Kobe, and the Lakers had 10 assists in the whole game, Excluding the 5 assists in garbage time in the fourth quarter, the team only had an outrageous 5 assists in the first three quarters. It's almost impossible, at least Stephen Green is not optimistic that this team can find a way to rise again, and it can be said that the Spurs have already stepped into the division finals with one foot in the Boston Celtics.

Of course, this year's playoffs have been exciting, not only because the overall performance of the stars this year has been excellent, but also because almost every matchup this year has not been too strong or weak, except for the Spurs, Lakers and Celtics Heat, the two games have been 2-0, the other two matchups are all 1-1, and the team with home-court advantage has lost one on its own home court.

The game between the Wizards and the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies wanted to play directly against the Wizards in the first game, replacing the team's starting point guard from Billups to Terry, and finally the team suffered one of the biggest defeats of the season, and in the second game, the Grizzlies who were back on track were difficult to pull back a city on their home court, and from the final result of 98-92, the difference in strength between these two teams is still small, plus these two teams are the only civil war group in the top five of this year's regular season, Therefore, this round of games between the Grizzlies and the Wizards is also considered by many to be a must-grab for seven.

In the other game, the offensive battle between the Kings and the Mavericks was a little weird, in the first game, Peja broke the Mavericks' second and third positions, and that game was also won by the Kings at home, and in the second game, the situation was not at all like the last game, for an offensive team, many times their dependence on the player's hand is more huge than the team's tactical system, this game is very illustrative of this problem, under the Mavericks' joint defense, McBibby's three-point score in this game is 1 of 8, Except for Peja's three-point shooting rate of 4-of-6, the Kings shot 3-of-22 from three-point range, so even if Webb and Peja teamed up to score 55 points in the third quarter of the game, the fourth quarter still entered garbage time, because the King's 85 points in the first three quarters could not guarantee their advantage at all, because the Mavericks on the other side had 113 points after the end of the third quarter, 113 points in the third quarter, including 83 points in the first half, The reason why the Mavericks are like this is that in the first three quarters, the team's three-point shot was 15 of 28, of which Finley alone was 10 of 14, surpassing Carter's record of 9 three-pointers on the spot, second only to the record set by Reggie Miller not long ago, this Mavericks guard also scored a game-high 42 points in the third quarter of the game, it can be said that for such an offensive team, this is not any reason, these two teams are too strong in the ability to convuls, So the outcome of this round of the series largely depends on who of the two teams can be more convulsive, for an ordinary playoff team, being able to score 110 points in a single game can basically ensure a win, and the matchup between the Mavericks and the Kings, even if they score 120 points, is not insurance, the last game of the Mavericks is 110 points to lose, and this game of the Kings is 110 points to lose.

It is because there are so many strange matchups in the divisional semifinals this year, so now the divisional semifinals are getting more and more exciting, and for the Boston Celtics and Zhuang Fei, they need to go away after the end of the two games at home, although the Boston Celtics at home have basically found a way to deal with the Heat, it can be said that they have taken the initiative into their own hands, but in terms of actual situation, the gap between the Boston Celtics and the Heat in this round of the series is still extremely small, Even if Haslem can limit the Heat's No. 5 tactic, but Zhuang Fei is impossible to let Haslem play the whole game, because then the Boston Celtics have no way to attack, so now the Boston Celtics must be able to ensure that they and the Heat score is about the same in the first three quarters, until the final fourth quarter puts Haslem to fight the winner, it can be said that in the face of this Heat, it is not a simple thing to hold on in the first three quarters, at least Maddie's hand can't be too bad.

May 10, 2003, this is the first game of the Boston Celtics away to the Heat, and it is also a crucial game for this series, if the Boston Celtics win this game, then it is basically certain that the team will advance, because no team in the history can reverse the situation of 0-3, but if the Boston Celtics lose this game, then the Celtics and the Heat still have a game, and may even play the sixth game, of course, For Zhuang Fei and the Celtics, they are not afraid to play a few more games with the Heat now, but even so, Zhuang Fei still hopes that this away game can be won, which can be regarded as a complete defeat of the confidence of the Heat players to resist while occupying a psychological advantage.

Zhuang Fei very much hopes that the Boston Celtics can play a wonderful game away from home, but for the Boston Celtics players, their performance in this game is a little more than enough and not enough, of course, they also hope to be able to win this game wonderfully, and then end this round of somewhat abusive series as soon as possible, but it is clear that in this away trip, these Boston Celtics players have not been able to maintain their feelings, especially the team's two leading players, Arenas and Maddy, Because of the deterrence of the Heat's interior line, this makes the Boston Celtics often need to find opportunities on the periphery, this style of play is extremely inappropriate for away games, after all, the away environment is not home, basically, every away team is not guaranteed in terms of shooting percentage, especially the first away game like this game, so the Boston Celtics did not complete the task of being evenly matched with the Heat in the first three quarters of this game, but lost by 12 points, Even in the fourth quarter, the team finally tried their best to recover 4 points, but in the end it was 88 to the Miami Heat, and the total score of the two teams became 1-2.

Of course, it is naturally the best choice for Zhuang Fei to win a three-0 advantage, after all, this can confirm the promotion, but the first loss is not the end of the world, because in the fourth game between the two sides on May 12, the Boston Celtics won back one game on the home court of the Heat, and the Boston Celtics did not play as frequently as the third game, and in the first three quarters of the competition, they also played a tie, and the final score was 98-92, The Boston Celtics won their third win of the series and also earned match point.

Compared with the Boston Celtics' normal 2-0 to 3-0 match point, the Spurs were much more unlucky, and the team was directly 2-0 by the Lakers from 2-0, and the two teams stood on the same running line again......
