Chapter 656: He'll Be Back
"We played a great game, that's what we've been looking forward to, we proved that we're a good team, a strong team that can win an NBA championship, and the fact that this game will help us finish the next series better, it's a great win, I think we've found the rhythm to win now, I swear, we're going to keep winning."
On June 13, 2003, at the post-game press conference at the SBC Center Arena in San Antonio, all the reporters at the scene focused on the front press platform, and sitting on the stage were the head coaches of the Spurs and Boston Celtics in this game, Veky and Zhuang Fei, at this time, the expressions of these two players were also extremely rich, especially as the head coach of the home team. ,!
This is the third game between the Boston Celtics and the Spurs, and the importance of this game is undoubted, as long as the Boston Celtics win one game in this game, then the series is over, of course, if you want to win the playoffs, you must win four games, but for the Boston Celtics, or for any NBA team, it is very difficult to win four games in a row, not to mention that this series is still the Finals, and there is no weak team in the Finals, Trying to win four games in a row in the finals and then sweep the opponent has only happened nine times in history.
The NBA has a history of 57 years, and the probability of only nine times in the NBA Finals in 56 is extremely low, and in these nine times, Zhuang Fei accounted for 2 times, which can also be seen how rebellious Zhuang Fei's record of winning 10 consecutive games in the Finals is, of course, for any record, there is a final shattering of a failure, Zhuang Fei's finals winning streak is the same, in today's death, Boston Celtics into the third game of the away game and the Spurs, The Boston Celtics head coach ushered in his first loss in the Finals, and the Boston Celtics also failed to put on a 3-0 score on the road, of course, for the Spurs they once again dragged this series into a more suspenseful road, at least this team proved that they can beat the Boston Celtics at home. And such a victory doesn't have to be just an accident or a miracle. They have the real strength to repeat this.
"Mr. Vicky, would you consider this the most important fight of your career? You shattered Coach Z's winning streak"
At the post-game press conference, Spurs head coach Vicky was very happy and active, for him the first two games were very depressed, the first game, he wanted to play a conspiracy, but in the end he stole the chicken and let himself lose a bottom, and in the second game, in the case of a good opportunity, the Spurs finally gave Parker the opportunity to kill and quasi-kill, and finally Parker missed the last two Spurs shots, and the failure of these two games was extremely embarrassing, Especially for Vicky, he doesn't like such defeats, because such failures do not mean that they have no chance of winning, but that they are obviously unlucky at the last moments, especially in the second game, if the first game is his own sin, the second game he is not convinced.
So in this game, in the third game between the two sides, after the Spurs completed their revenge at home with 100-89, the head coach of the Spurs has already begun to be excited and a little passionate, if the madness of the Spurs head coach in front of the media is pretended to be in the first finals meeting between the two teams, then this time it is absolutely from the heart, this game is not a simple game, the Spurs won this game by 11 points, and the Boston Celtics were suppressed all over the court, Especially in this game, Boston Celtics scored 1, and China scored only 20 minutes, scored 5 points and 6 rebounds, and stayed on the bench with 5 fouls on his back.
Even at the last moment, the Chinese head coach did not replace him, of course Vicky knows why, this is to protect Yao Ming's last bit of self-confidence and self-esteem, if he is sent off in this game, then it can be said that he was really defeated by Duncan, it is impossible to recover in this round of the series, then in the end, the Spurs can also win the advantage of this round of the finals and even win the Boston Celtics in the end.
For Vicky, sometimes he feels very lucky, because he is also suffering from Zhuang Fei's current embarrassment, Duncan played Yao Ming very badly, and the same Arenas played Parker very badly, but compared with Yao Ming's current depression, Parker has never been emotionally depressed, in fact, since Parker came to the Spurs, Vicky himself was surprised by the hardness of the French player's nerves, in the Spurs, he did not scold Duncan except for coming out, Which of the others wasn't trained by him to compete? Especially this French defender, even a game of Vicky did not scold him a few words are uncomfortable, stunned in such a growth environment, this young French player has been improving, and Vicky found that the more he scolded, the faster he improved, compared to Yao Ming, Vicky does have a reason to be thankful.
"Of course, for me to win any Finals is great, and to win this crucial battle is naturally the greatest, and maybe this game can bring us another championship"
Vicky laughed and said that at this point he had only won one game. It is naturally an extremely arrogant thing to say this unashamedly at this time, but for the Spurs head coach, now his team has indeed grasped the opportunity to win, especially after Yao Ming's problems at this point, as long as Yao Ming's confidence does not recover, he is sure enough to win all the next two games, when the Spurs reach a total score of 3-2, let alone Zhuang Fei, even if the god of basketball is reborn, He is also sure that he will steal a win at Boston Celtic's home stadium and finally achieve the championship, and this is only based on the fact that Yao Ming recovers his form and confidence in the last two games, and if Yao Ming continues like this in this round of finals, then he even thinks his team will win all the next games.
Of course, for Vicky's current wild words, although most of the reporters on the scene don't like Zhuang Fei very much, but they don't believe in Vicky's remarks, because they never thought that this round of the series Spurs would play as easily as Vicky described, just because the final winner of this game is Vicky, so these reporters did not refute, in the NBA, there are also unspoken rules here, as long as it is what the head coach of the winning side says, no matter what arrogant remarks are correct, Because in the NBA, winning is everything, like a player who goes 1-of-20 in a game, but if the final shot is a killer shot, then no one will accuse him of missing all 19 shots in front of him.
Although for these reporters, they don't care whether Vicky's words can be realized, but these people are looking forward to Zhuang Fei's reaction after facing Vicky's provocation, but what disappoints these reporters is that the arrogant Z coach and Vicky's Z coach, who has always been incompatible, are listening expressionlessly at this time, and there is no intention to refute at all, if it weren't for the Chinese head coach still opening his eyes, these reporters would have thought he was asleep.
"Mr. Zhuang, what are your thoughts on this match, do you think what Mr. Vicky said is correct? Could this be a turning point for this series? ”
Although Zhuang Fei remained silent and didn't want to speak after losing this game, it didn't mean that these reporters could let him go, even Vicky on the side looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile on his face, at this time he also enjoyed the happiness of embarrassing Zhuang Fei, but he didn't know if Zhuang Fei was really embarrassed, but he just thought so in his heart.
"Huh? This game? It was a wonderful game, like Vicky said, you also saw that Duncan scored 30 points and 20 rebounds again in this game, and he played great, and in the same game, Stephen Kerr and Stephen Smith actually scored two goals, and it was really a great game for the Spurs, and if the Spurs can perform like this in every game then I definitely support Mr. Vicky, we will lose the series in the end, but I think, this thing is not so easy to happen, If that's the case, then the overall score is 3-0 now, and maybe after the next game I should congratulate Mr. Vicky on winning the championship, and I don't need to decide the winner in the sixth or seventh game."
Zhuang Fei didn't speak at this time without a trace of expression like just now, on the contrary, there was still a smile on his face, and when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, all the reporters in the audience laughed, of course, except for the media in San Antonio, although Zhuang Fei has been complimenting Vicky with this, but who wouldn't hear that this is sarcasm?
Therefore, Weiqi, who was still excited just now, turned cold again at this time, and his eyes when he looked at Zhuang Fei became even more aggressive.
"Mr. Zhuang, Yao Ming's performance in these games has not been good, have you considered letting him go?"
Although Zhuang Fei's ridiculous and sarcastic words made the atmosphere of the scene relaxed, when the reporter threw this question again, the reporters in the audience looked at Zhuang Fei with a serious face again, for these people, they hoped to create something different.
It's just that what disappointed these people was that Zhuang Fei got up directly from his seat after throwing off a sentence, and then turned around and left, leaving a group of stunned people who looked at Zhuang Fei's back.
"He'll be back, I think you'll see, soon"
