"Luckily, I thought we'd not be able to watch the Boston Celtics at North Shore Garden for more than a week, but now it seems like we're so lucky, the 76ers are doing well, I swear, I'm going to be a fan of Allen Iverson in the future, he's doing a good job in Philadelphia."

April 28, 2003, North Shore Garden Arena, Boston, as a comparison' Young' Boston Celtics fans, Markmoth has never experienced the most glorious moments of the legendary Boston Celtics, he has no impression of Russell, and he also has a vague impression of the Cardinal, because in the era when these two great gods ruled the Celtics and the League, he was not born yet, even when Larry Bird ruled the league, Markmuth was only a child of only a few years old, and when Larry Bird retired, he was slowly able to remember, so for this group of fans who grew up with the dark years of the Boston Celtics, some legends have gone away, and even far away to be traced, so these people like the legends more than those legends that are now in Boston, in the North Shore Garden, and this team, which was recently called the 'Celtic Miracle' led by Zhuang Fei, has naturally become the only favorite team among these people, and the only team that can give them the most tangible sense of honor and pleasure. ,!

And for these young fans, many of whom are 80 or even 85, the Boston Celtics are almost all of their lives at this time, and there is even a very mysterious fan organization recently, and it is very simple to join this organization, then you can't miss any home game of the Boston Celtics, no matter what the reason, you can't be absent, otherwise you will be expelled, in fact, in the NBA, most teams have their own solid fan organizations, some are based on the street, Some of them are for a certain star on the team, and some may have the same expectations for the team, but there are really not many fan organizations that want the Celtics' crazy young people to come together with the theme of not missing any home game, and for these people, they even sickly hope that the Boston Celtics can play the best game to the decisive moment in every game, and they also hope that the Boston Celtics can stage a tie-break with their opponents in every series, and Markmuth is a member of this fan groupFor them, the Boston Celtics had better be able to play a full seven games to clean up the 76ers.

"Me too, but I think this game is the end of the series, I think you know very well what kind of person our manager is, he won't allow a game to be lost with the same problems, I think we won at home today"

Just after Markmuth finished speaking, a young Celtics fan next to him was also a little regretful, he and Moose were organized by the same fan, this game was the fifth game of the playoffs between the Celtics and the 76ers this season, before this game, the Boston Celtics maintained a big lead of 3-1.

After the Boston Celtics easily won two games on their home court, the team rushed directly to Philadelphia, when this group of Boston Celtics players went to Philadelphia, no one thought that this team would encounter obstacles in Philadelphia, and even after the Boston Celtics set off, some people began to celebrate for the Boston Celtics to enter the second round early, and even the Boston Celtics working players were not ready to sell tickets. In this case, it can be said that the Boston Celtics who went to Philadelphia were playing a joke on them. Because of the two away games against the 76ers, the Boston Celtics didn't have two games without suspense at all, as many expected.

The 76ers who came out of two consecutive away losses played very tenaciously on their home court, at least the 76ers faced by the Boston Celtics in the third game were much higher than the 76ers in the second game in terms of spirit and other aspects, and even more crazy than the 76ers who cornered the Boston Celtics in the first game, so with the home court advantage and crazy play, as well as the high shooting rate of the team's boss Iverson, It's fair to say that the team gave the Boston Celtics and the media pundits who trumpeted that the Celtics would sweep the 76ers with a big suffocation in Game 3. The same 76ers also beat the formidable Celtics 101-95 in their first home game.

Of course, after the third game between the two sides, the Boston Celtics are still the Boston Celtics, and the 76ers still have a huge gap with the Celtics in terms of strength, especially after the Boston Celtics gained a foothold in Philadelphia, directly in the fourth game, the Boston Celtics also pulled back one percent, and the score of the game was 119-105, naturally, after four games, the Boston Celtics did not sweep the 76ers as expected, But the team also led the 76ers by a score of 3-1, which was considered to have won the match point before their home game.

For now, Boston Celtics fans are still extremely conservative, although this game is basically certain that the team can advance early, but most Boston Celtics fans still came to the North Shore Garden team two hours early to cheer for the team, hoping to be able to face the team with the team from the moment the team walked out of the locker room passage. It seems to be a bit difficult' game, of course, this group of fans naturally really hopes that the team can really solve the battle in this one.

"Ho, just came the news, the fifth Heat in the West defeated the Pistons 4-1 at home, and after the Pistons lost, their head coach Carlisle was out of class, it seems that this game is likely to have the same result, if the Boston Celtics can beat the 76ers, then their next round opponent will be the fifth in the West, the Heat, now the Boston Celtics are in good shape, and it is not a big problem to come to this game"

In the commentary booth of North Shore Garden, TNT's famous commentator Kenny Smith was a little surprised after receiving a news and introduced the just-ended game between the Pistons and the Heat to the fans in front of the TV, the two games were broadcast live in a row, after the game between the Heat and the Pistons, the game between the Boston Celtics and the 76ers was about to start, and at this time the players and coaches of both sides were also ready to enter the court from the locker room

In the home locker room of Boston's North Shore Garden, the Boston Celtics players were looking at their head coach with a serious face, and Zhuang Fei was quietly scanning these Celtics players.

"I hope this game will be our last game at home in the first round, we didn't show enough dominance in the first four games, we played hard in two of the first four games, if you follow the inertia, this game will be like the first game and the third game you will have a crazy comeback from the 76ers, and Iverson will probably pick up like the first and third games, and then keep scoring, keep hitting our team"

"It's the worst I can think of, but even if that happens, my only request is that this game will be the one that will end this series, because now I can't find any reason for you to lose to the 76ers again, and after these four games, I'm sure you should know enough about the 76ers that we can't afford to lose again."

"Our goal this year is the championship, so from now on, you need to put all your energy into the game, we need to concentrate from now on" Zhuang Fei glanced at the Boston Celtics again when he finished saying this, it can be said that although the Celtics have led 3-1 in this series, the performance of this team is not completely satisfactory, and this team is still not fully in the state of playoff contention, Obviously, a series of victories in the final moments of the regular season and that terrifying 72-win record made these players have some unnecessary arrogance in their psychology, which made the Boston Celtics in this round of the series almost capsize on the 76ers, so in the last two games, Zhuang Fei will admonish this group of Celtics players before almost every game, and these Celtics players did a good job in the period after the game started, of course, this is only the opening time, Therefore, in the last few games, many people will find that Zhuang Fei, who rarely calls a timeout, has shouted extremely diligently in the last two games.

Although the current situation of the Boston Celtics is not particularly good, but what makes Zhuang Fei more gratifying is that the players of the Boston Celtics are indeed seeking change, and these people's hunger for the game is also slowly increasing.

"Coach, don't worry, we won't lose this game again" Just after Zhuang Fei mobilized, the team's boss Maddie also waved his tightly held right hand with a firm face and said with a serious face, and almost at the same time as Maddie finished speaking, the team's substitute guard Arenas also echoed, as for the other Boston Celtics players, they all nodded after the two of them spoke.

"That's it, from now on, we have to do our best to win every game," Zhuang Fei said with a smile as he looked at the Celtic players who were a little excited at this time. At this time, the faces of these Boston Celtics players also became excited

This series is very difficult for the 76ers, this team is not in its best condition, if it weren't for Iverson carrying his body again and again to impact the Boston Celtics' interior line, if this series wasn't for Ragabel almost stopping Maddie with wrestling again and again, so that Maddie couldn't play normally and the Celtics couldn't play normally, then this round of the series would have been over a long time ago, So the 76ers' head coach Collins is a little unbelievable that the team can play like this with the championship favorite Celtics, although he had dreams of leading the team to beat the Celtics before this series, and he also once wondered if the whole United States would go crazy for the 76ers if the 76ers really beat the Celtics?

But a dream is just a dream after all, and a dream is just a dream after all, when the head coach of the 76ers appeared in the North Shore Garden with his team, these 76ers players and coaches from afar felt the heat here again, and when these 76ers players and coaches watched the group of Celtics players almost complete their appearance ceremony under the sound of the fans overturning the court, the faces of these 76ers players were not so good-looking. No one wants to play in such an away environment.

"Allen, don't be too tight, this game just goes with the flow, you've done well enough in this series" Looking at the gritted teeth beside him, Collins also gently patted the shoulder of his team boss and said softly.

If this team really lost to the Celtics, then the team is probably the only one who is most unwilling to be the league's new scoring champion, Collins knows very well that the ambitious guard does not want to fail, and his performance in this series is also worthy of victory, but even so, such a 76ers will not be able to fulfill his dream. So at this time, Collins felt in his heart that he and his team were sorry for this small player.

"I understand" Iverson's face only changed again after being patted by Collins, but soon the defender's clenched fists also loosened, and his face calmed down. Seeing Iverson like Collins, it was also a little distracted, the defender is already injured, and at this time he even doesn't want his leading players to perform too well. This is also a very ambivalent psychology.

At this time, Zhuang Fei, who was on the bench of the Boston Celtics and watched his players walk onto the court one by one, naturally didn't know what was happening on the 76ers' side now.

And when the warm-up of the starters of both sides ended, the game officially began. (To be continued)
