Chapter 111: The opponent of the Eastern Conference Finals

There were seven big battles between the Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. Forrest gump

The Celtics first drew 1:1 with the Detroit Pistons at their home stadium TD North Shore Garden Stadium, and then went to Detroit Motor City, where the Celtics won two consecutive victories under the leadership of the Green Army Big Three, bringing the total score to 3:1.

It's another tie-breaker.

However, in the seventh game between the two teams, the Celtics easily defeated the Detroit Pistons with a score of 65-84 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals at TD North Shore Garden Stadium, which did not play the same performance as predicted by the media.

In this way, the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals all appeared, one was the Cleveland Cavaliers, who advanced in the first and second rounds, but fell into trade rumors, and the other was the Boston Celtics, who stumbled in the first and second rounds.

In the West, the second round of the playoffs ended first.

The second round of the Western Conference playoffs, Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz; New Orleans Hornets vs San Antonio Spurs.

The first to end was the Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz game. In this round of the series, the Los Angeles Lakers first took the lead in winning two games at home against the Utah Jazz, and then went to the Utah Jazz's home energy center arena, but there was a great discomfort.

The Utah Jazz have always been a tough team at home, and the Energy Center Arena has always been known as the home of the Devils. In the midst of the loud roar of the **, under the air pressure of the Utah Plateau, the Lakers lost two games in a row at the Energy Center Arena. But back in Los Angeles, back at the Staples Center, they got back to their form and snapped a clean third win.

When visiting the Energy Center arena again, the Los Angeles Lakers seemed to have adapted to the special climate of Utah after the first two games, and the boos in the stands did not have a violent impact on them, although Deron Williams once played a jīng lottery with Boozer, but the Los Angeles Lakers, who were running steadily, were not disturbed by the cooperation of the two, and finally won the fourth victory of the series with a score of 107:100,

In the other round of the series, the Hornets VS Spurs game once again had a 'tie-breaker' battle, the old Spurs, the young Hornets, the most stable defense, two teams with extremely opposite styles collided together, and it did bring a basketball feast like Mars hitting the earth to the fans.

Tony Parker, the MVP of the last Finals, showed his decline in front of the young "Queen Bee" Paul, not only was all the statistics suppressed by Paul all the way, but his sluggish state even made him suffer from his ** Vicky.

After Tony Parker was crowned the MVP of the Finals, Vicky rarely yelled at her as often as Parker did when he first entered the Spurs, but in this series, Tony Parker was comprehensively suppressed by Paul, which annoyed Vicky and once again sacrificed his long-collected hair dryer and scolded Parker again.

Especially after the crucial sixth game, in which Tony Parker played 34 minutes but only scored 4-of-17 shooting, 4-of-6 free throws, and had 5 assists. Its sluggish performance directly led to the Spurs losing a crucial sixth game and losing the opportunity to end the series early.

After this match, Vicky even sent a fire at the post-match press conference, mercilessly scolding Tony Parker for being 'unprofessional'!

And, even more exciting. After the game, the media broke the news that Vicky was angry at Eva Longoria. Among the words used are a series of extremely insulting words, such as "slut", "slut", "bitch", "big breast", "brainless", etc.

Eva Longoria, the star of the currently hit American drama "Desperate Housewives", is also the wife of Tony Parker. In the 2006-2007 season, after the Spurs defeated all teams to win the championship again, and it was also the first time that Tony Parker surpassed his big brother Duncan and was elected MVP of the Finals, he and Eva Longoria officially announced their marriage.

However, this marriage has been blocked and vetoed by Spurs coach ** Vic, and there is even a grapevine that the reason why Vicky scolded Eva after the Spurs lost was because he believed that 'Eva's excessive demand in bed consumed Tony's physical strength and made his performance on the court decline'

Now the media is most concerned about whether Eva Longoria will sue Vicky after learning all this, and how will Parker, who is caught in it, deal with himself, will he support his wife or his coach?

However, even if so much has happened, it can't affect the stability that Spurs have always had. Compared to the immature Hornets, the Spurs have too much experience in the tournament, and the more dangerous they are, the more calm and efficient they become. The Spurs in the regular season and the Spurs in the playoffs are two completely different teams, and that's what it says. ** Vicky, a military-turned, iron-blooded commander, once again showed his control of the team and his ability to mobilize the game at critical moments.

In the crucial seventh game, at the ATA Center Arena, the Spurs showed their incomparable efficiency and tenacity from the beginning, and the game was incorporated into the rhythm that the Spurs were accustomed to from the beginning, and the pick-and-roll offense that the Hornets used in the previous games was difficult to maintain fluidity in this game. David West was sleepwalking all over the game under Duncan's defense, and Tony Parker also showed excellent form in Game 7 after being scolded by Vic, although he still couldn't organize Paul, but he could form a mutual explosion.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Hornets, the biggest dark horse of the season, with a record of 98-92 and a total score of 4-3, and entered the Western Conference finals with the Lakers.

Zhang Kong knew that if he reached the finals. Then the Cavaliers' opponent in the Finals is most likely the Lakers. The Lakers in history were not so strong in this year, and their outside defense was not very good, and their most reliable outside defender at that time was their star Kobe, but in order to ensure Kobe's physical strength on the offensive end, the Lakers could not choose Kobe to defend the opponent's leading outside star.

And this season, the Lakers' best defender on the outside is Artest, the best defensive player in the past.

Artest arrived at the Lakers a year earlier than in history, and although he still couldn't fit into the triangle offense as he did historically, the Lakers didn't need him to fit into the triangle offense. Artest, who is a year younger, is more energetic, more physical, faster and more comfortable defending the perimeter superstar than the Lakers' two-time champion. However, relatively speaking, Artest's defensive efficiency against speed-type breakers is not very good, and the Spurs' two main breakers, Tony Parker, take the speed route, known as a small sports car, he is the best at using speed to eat opponents. Ginobili, on the other hand, has a balance of speed and feints, and his league-famous serpentine break is definitely one of the toughest to deal with on the defensive end. It's also possible that this Spurs will cause big problems for the Lakers instead.

And the day after the Celtics series, Zhang Kong suddenly held a press conference.

An hour before the press conference, the audience was already filled with media from all sides. To talk about Zhang Kong, he originally did not have such influence. After all, he has only been in the league for a year, and he entered the league as the last show, so he has received almost no attention. Although because of his series of somewhat unnatural data, his attention soared like a rocket, and then because of the scandal with Ivanka, his attention skyrocketed.

But in the remote western city of Cleveland, and the fact that the two have not had a new intersection since the hotel scandal, the fast-changing media has forgotten about it.

The reason why so much media came.

It's still because of Zhang Kong's transfer rumors.
