Chapter 581: Champion Declaration

"How did the ball go in? I don't know, I didn't think if he would score when I made the shot, it's not that I wasn't confident in my three-point shot, it's that the coach didn't give me the task to shoot, and when the team was called out, he just said to me, ' You need to do the right thing', and then he gave me that three-point shot, and to be honest, I was surprised because we had a lot of time to do a lot of set-ups, whether it was a three-point or a two-point game, but the coach ended up opting for the three-pointer, and in fact it was a great decision, and we won the game with this victory."

"Of course, I certainly don't want to be on the bench when my teammates are fighting, but it's a special feeling for me, I don't think the coach did anything wrong, I think he did the right thing, I really didn't fit to stay on the court at the time, so I'm here to apologize to the coach and the fans and my teammates, they were great, they were amazing in this game, they were the best group of players in the NBA and I'm proud to be on a team like this."

At the press conference after the Boston Celtics and 76ers game, the Boston Celtics star Maddy was very excited, although he spent most of the game on the bench, but in the final moments of the game, in the face of Ragabel's defense, the Celtics' three-point strike still made him the first hero among the Boston Celtics players after the game, of course, The hero, who was supposed to save the Celtics, was a little embarrassed when he was mentioned by the media after the game. ,!

"What happened to me and Raga? It's not a big deal, we used to be friends, and we will be friends in the future, but this half month we are enemies, enemies to the death, I will do everything to beat him, the same, he will do anything to beat me, our goal is the same, we are all to lead the team to the next round, so I don't think there is anything about everything he has on the court, and in the same way, everything that happens to me on the court is extremely normal, he is a great pursuer of victory, And so do I, that's all"

Basically, people who watched this game know that Maddie sat on the cold bench in the half of the game must have something to do with Ragabel, but in the face of this somewhat sensitive topic, the Celtics player did not answer directly, and after the game, Maddie faced the reporter when he was excited and regretful and a little embarrassed compared to the gods, Zhuang Fei was much more relaxed at the press conference, although the Boston Celtics won this game very hard, but it was won and won very exciting, and more importantly, After this game, these Celtics players should mature, even if they don't mature much, it will still be an improvement, at least the team's boss Maddie will not be as immature as before.

Of course, the Boston Celtics won an expected game in this game, for the result of this game, these media reporters did not feel that there was anything wrong, compared with the performance of the Boston Celtics players on the field, especially compared with Maddie's strange situation, the result of this game is not something they care about, naturally in the game Maddie was suppressed on the bench by Zhuang Fei became the focus of these media exploration.

"You should also see that Maddy is a key player for our team, he scored the most crucial goal at the last moment, this is one of his main values for the team, he performed very well in this game, I have no problem with him, I think he will not only show today, he will continue to perform like this in the future, I have unparalleled confidence in him" Zhuang Fei looked at the media in the audience and said in a relaxed tone, but at this time, the eyes of the 76ers head coach Collins on Zhuang Fei's side were a little hollow, I'm afraid that at this time, the head coach of the 76ers has not woken up from such a blow, maybe he is still in the midst of gains and losses when this coach comes, but at this time everyone's focus is not on him.

"The performance of Iverson and the 76ers? They've done a great job, I know Iverson very well and I know the 76ers, we've met in the Finals before, and they can create a lot of threats for us, especially Iverson, he's one of the best players in the league, he's the scoring champion this year, maybe he's the best scorer on the planet, it's always going to be very difficult when you're facing an opponent like that, James tried his best in this game, but he still allowed Iverson to score 58 points, and we still almost let him finish the shootout, of course, Iverson is not the only 76ers player who showed sรจ in this game, Raga also did a good job in this game, I know he can shoot threes, I know he can defend, but I didn't think he could do so well in this game, I think Tracy will always remember this game "When talking about Iverson of the 76ers and his former Wake Forest disciple, Zhuang Fei is still very relaxed. These two guys are almost the two most outstanding performers of the 76ers in this game.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Phil Jackson said yesterday that this year's Lakers are still the favorites for the championship, and he is still more optimistic about the Grizzlies in the East, what do you think about this matter?" At the end of the press conference, Zhuang Fei received a special question. The first game of the Boston Celtics playoffs is the second day of this year's NBA playoffs, and the league has played three playoff games in advance yesterday, and the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves was yesterday, after yesterday Phil Jackson led the Lakers to defeat the Timberwolves, the fifth in the West, 108-104 on the road, the Lakers' head coach is a bad breath, although the Timberwolves no longer have Zhuang Fei, but it is still the absolute powerhouse in the West, plus the two teams are also old enemies, It can be said that after beating the Timberwolves on the road, the Lakers head coach, who has been controversial this season, is also a rare arrogance, once again bringing up the issue of the Lakers' championship, and it can be said that Phil Jackson's words after the game with the Timberwolves yesterday were very influential.

"Of course, Mr. Phil is right, the Lakers are indeed one of the favorites in the league, they are stronger than many teams, the third and seventh in the league's scoring list are on their team, they should be one of the strongest in the league, but, again, the same is true for the Boston Celtics, as for who is better between us and the Grizzlies? I don't know, maybe I won't know until after the game, of course, I'm looking forward to meeting the Lakers again in this year's Finals, but just like Phil is watching out for us and the Grizzlies, I also hope that they can be more effective when they meet the Spurs. โ€

The Boston Celtics and 76ers game caused a lot of sensation in the NBA the next day, which is inevitable, any player who scores 58 points in a playoff game will be the focus, and any game with a lore and a counter-lore will also be the focus, when these two factors appear in the same game, the news value of this game is not comparable to the average game, and this game also has Maddie sitting on the bench.

It's just because of the Boston Celtics' victory in this game, so not too many people delved into what happened to Maddie and Zhuang Fei in this game after the game. Zhuang Fei didn't say it, and neither did the Celtics players and Maddy, so the focus of the final game was also on Zhuang Fei's speech at the press conference, which could be seen as a challenge to Phil Jackson.

"Coach Z is ready to attack the championship again, maybe he can successfully avenge the Grizzlies to reach the final championship this year, but in any case, this year's NBA competition will be quite fierce, in addition to the five teams we are familiar with, now the Lakers are also joining the circle, I think in the near future, I am afraid that it is not only Jackson and Coach Z who will release their championship declaration to the media"

Of course, many people focused on the post-game press conference after the game, including some words from Maddie and those words from Zhuang Fei, but also for many people, this game almost set the tone for this series, and after the Boston Celtics counterattacked the 76ers, they almost confirmed one thing to everyone, that is, the 76ers really stood on the edge of the cliff in this series.

No expert would be optimistic about the 76ers before the start of this series, but in the first game the 76ers played extremely amazing, and even almost beat the Celtics on the road, but in the end it fell short, if this team can really beat the Celtics, then it will be okay, this game will really be suspenseful, but this is completely just a fairy tale, and the winner of the final game is still the Celtics.

In this case, no one would think that Zhuang Fei would give the 76ers another chance like today, that Chinese is famous in the NBA for being difficult to beat, and in the face of weakling, that Chinese is almost unpopular, which is why he has repeatedly been able to achieve excellent results in the regular season.

And in fact, the media's predictions are not unfounded.

On March 22, 2003, the second game between the Boston Celtics and the 76ers at home, the Celtics almost defeated the 76ers in a sweeping manner, and the score of the last game was 115-88, the Boston Celtics won 18 points at home, and Iverson's star Iverson was not as hot as the last game, this game was only 45 points on 16-of-36 shooting, and the Celtics were in addition to Yao Ming's highest 18 points. The starting four and the bench three scored in double figures.

After this game, Boston also led the 76ers 2-0. (To be continued)
