The Boston Celtics and Heat game was played on April 7, and after this game, on April 8, the Boston Celtics needed to travel long distances to the Raptors to play back-to-back games, although the Grizzlies are not in the league now, but it is clear that he is a typical Western team, and in this case, for the rest of the league's Eastern teams, going to Vancouver to play back-to-back games is the most painful thing.

And the same is true for the Grizzlies, in this case, this is definitely a bad thing for the entire East, but this effect is slowly forgotten by everyone over time, with the progress of society, such a distance will become less and less of a problem, in this case, even if the Bobcats enter the league in the new season, the NBA does not plan to throw the Grizzlies back to the West, of course, even if the league wants to return them to the West, those general managers in the West are not willing to accept it, It was not easy to get rid of the four-strong domination of the Grizzlies, Timberwolves and Lakers and Spurs, and now it is absolutely impossible to make another one.

Therefore, it is estimated that this Grizzly bear must stay in the East in the future, whether it is reasonable or not, although for the future society, when the speed of the plane is improved, when the transportation is more convenient, then such a distance is no problem for any team, but now, such a distance is indeed a big problem for the Celtics, but fortunately, it is now the end of the season, and the Celtics also have an absolute advantage over the Lakers, in this case, Zhuang Fei is not necessary to fight with the Grizzlies. So for the Celtics, although this game was hard, it didn't have much impact on the Celtics, after all, for the Celtics and the Grizzlies, the two teams are now the first and second in the East.

But there isn't much overlap of interests, after all, the record is too bad, and at most, the Grizzlies fans are a little concerned about the Celtics' elimination of them last season, so in this game. Neither the Celtics nor the Grizzlies plan to win this game, they are both adjusting the team's state for the playoffs, for example, the Grizzlies will definitely play 25 minutes and 30 minutes as the main players in the previous games. The Celtics completely gave up the main lineup in the last game against the Heat, and in this game Zhuang Fei let James Posey and Jackson take the starting combination of Kirilenko and Haslem and Prince, for most of the league's fish belly teams, Zhuang Fei's rotation of the second team can also be beaten, but in the face of this Grizzlies.

Although the Grizzlies did not try their best, it was not something that the Celtics could beat, neither the quality of personnel nor the tactical ability of the Celtics lineup was comparable to the Grizzlies, and this game was actually 20 points behind the Grizzlies in the first half, although the Grizzlies did not intend to try their best. But because of the home game. Their main force also played the whole first half, and after the second half, although the Grizzlies began a large-scale rotation, but because the hole dug in the first half was too big, in the end, even if the Boston Celtics pursued hard, but in the end they were unable to pull the score back.

The final result of this game was also 100-108, the Boston Celtics lost to the Grizzlies by 8 points, and the Grizzlies' star Carter only played 22 minutes in the first half and cut down 20 points and 10 rebounds, the guard who played the No. 4 position this season performed quite well. At least he really adapted to the position role in the No. 4 position, and in fact, as the season progressed, the Grizzlies' dominant player data became more and more beautiful again, at the beginning of the season, when the first person in the league played the No. 4 position full-time for the first time, because of the organization of the doppelganger team, the data was only 25+10+6 quasi-Bird data.

Because Bird's career average data is 25+10+6, this data is the threshold for the NBA to enter Bird's data, for example, like 30+6+6 is Jordan's data, these two are the standard for judging whether a player really achieves the top three all-arounds, of course, in addition to the data of these two people, there is also Magic's 20+10+7, which is even more difficult to do, and before Carter's transformation, he was a standard' Jordan-type' player, but after the transformation, he barely reached Bird's standard at the beginning of the season to now can be said to have fully met Bird's standard, you know, although Bird's career data is 25+10+6, but Bird's peak years, that is, before he was injured, he was a standard 28+10+6 player.

And now, after the season is coming to an end, Carter's data is also here, and now Carter's average data per game is 28.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists, although the assist is a new career low, but it still really enters the highest field of Bird's data, in this case, Carter is also the only player in the league who played Jordan 30+6+6 and Bird's 28+10+6, and it is precisely because of this that at the end of the season, The previous two regular season MVPs once again came to the top of the MVP rankings under the touting of public opinion, and with the addition of Ao Fat and Maddie, who were in front of him, this year's data can only be regarded as average.

Of course, this is also compared to him, in this case, the player's call for three consecutive MVPs this year is getting louder and louder, of course, for the NBA, it is normal for these three people to still win MVP this season, Carter's data, Maddie's record and the bonus of last year's championship, as well as Ao Fat's record this year and his qualifications in the league for more than ten years, these three have their own advantages, but the advantages are not obvious.

Of course, in addition to the Grizzlies' Carter who surprised Zhuang Fei a little in this game, the performance of Boston Celtics Kirilenko also surprised Zhuang Fei, because in this game, with James Posey leading the team, the all-round forward actually made 16 shots in this game, although 16 shots is not much for any player in a game, but this is the most shots by Kirilenko this season.

And it's not when he feels right, this game, the all-round striker who shot 16 times, finally only hit 5 of them, and this is what surprised Zhuang Fei, if it was before, this guy would definitely not shoot again after missing three or four balls, but this game The striker started with 6 shots and 0 shots, in this case, the young Russian still finally raised the shooting rate to 16 in 5, at least in Zhuang Fei's current look, The Russian seems to have a message of melting the ice and warming up, which is definitely great news for the Celtics on their journey to the playoffs.

Kirilenko's recovery or untying the knot is a very happy thing for Zhuang Fei, and it is precisely because of this that this also dispels the depression brought by this defeat to Zhuang Fei, although for Zhuang Fei, it is now the adjustment stage of the team, but he still does not want to lose, this is also Zhuang Fei's habit in the NCAA, he won all three years in the NCAA, and the NCAA Championship, that is, the knockout round, has always been a single game to decide the winner, in this case, almost all NCAA teams will not have a good impression of losing, This is true even during the regular season.

And in the same way, it is precisely because of such a habit that one of the reasons why Zhuang Fei's record has been very high since he entered the NBA, because in the history of the NBA, in fact, for many teams, they can get more than 70 wins, as long as they are willing, but in the end, before Zhuang Fei, only the Bulls did it, and this is also related to the concept of most NBA teams, sometimes these teams will give up some games because of various relationships, And Zhuang Fei is almost never willing to give up any game, even when the team is adjusting.

2004, April 10th, Atlanta, this is the third game of the Boston Celtics in the last 4 days, and the opponent of this game is the Atlanta Hawks, the team is currently ranked fourth in the West, if the record is calculated by the record of this team is the fifth in the East, not as good as the Heat, just because the Atlantic Division where the Heat is located has two teams in the top four in the East, so as the second in the Eastern Division, he is the fourth in the East over the Heat, and in fact, for the Hawks and the Heat, There is no difference between the fourth and fifth in the East.

After all, the playoffs are not based on rankings to arrange home court advantage, home court advantage is a record, although it is said that there is not much relationship with the ranking between the Heat, anyway, fourth is to play fifth, but for the Hawks and Bulls and the Pacers and Cavaliers there is a huge relationship, these four teams are all in the Central Division, according to the record ranking, these three teams are the fifth in the East, sixth, seventh, eight and what is even more terrifying is that the records of these four teams are only two games at most, and the records of the Cavaliers and the Hawks are exactly the same, With two teams ranked sixth and fourth just because of the win-loss relationship, if the Hawks end up losing to the Cavaliers in a ranking battle, then the team will drop straight from fourth to sixth.

And the fourth and sixth opponents are not the same, the fourth opponent is the Heat, the sixth opponent is the Wizards, the gap between the two is obvious, so for the four teams in the East this year, all of them are frantically competing for the fourth, and in fact, even now, these four teams have hope, it can be said that the difficulty of this game for the Celtics is conceivable, and now the Hawks are a gambler who has been playing the last game of the regular season. In a sense, this team is much harder to play than the Grizzlies.

In fact, the Celtics, who did not intend to fight hard in this game, were finally defeated 90-86 by the crazy Hawks on the road, and this was also the first consecutive defeat of the Celtics this season, after the defeat, the Celtics' record became 69-11 in 80 games, while the Lakers' record was 68-12, and the suspense was suddenly born.
