Two days later, at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, the Hornets scored 119-111 to change the score of the series with the Celtics to 3-0.

In this game, as the chief director of the NBA's large-scale reality show, in order to avoid the Celtics being defeated, Stern specially greeted the referees before the game, hoping that they could take care of the Celtics "a little" in the game.

However, even though the Celtics made a total of 47 free throws in the game, they couldn't capitalize on the opportunity to beat the Hornets on the night.

Because in the game, James, who is rare on the Celtics side to get 22 free throws this season, only hit 11 of them.

Over the years, James has been increasing his muscle mass in order to gain more power on the court, so this has also made his free throw shots often unstable.

In addition, the strength shown by the Hornets in this series also put a lot of mental pressure on James.

For James, who is now 29 years old, he can't believe that the Celtics led by him will have such a big gap from the real Eastern powerhouse.

To know......

No matter how hard it is for the Hornets to play in this series......

In the market, no one thinks that the current Hornets can compare with the Knicks and the Heat in terms of hard power.

Can ...... now

Not to mention the Heat and Knicks, in James's opinion, he doesn't even know how to work hard to beat this Hornets.

North Shore Garden Arena, G3 battle, when the spook timer went to zero, looking at Paul, the good brother who would always share the experience of frustration with him in the past, was stunned at first, and then confused......

A mood called despair enveloped James almost instantly.

In this moment, in stark contrast to James......

Undoubtedly, it was my cannon that took the limelight in this series.

All right......

James may not believe it when he says it......

In fact, at this moment, Paul doesn't know why he can win so easily.

Paul is well aware that just last season, he was often frustrated by not being able to lead his team to victory.

But what about this season?

After the G3 game, Paul, who knew that the Hornets had advanced to the second round, turned his eyes to the man who was talking and laughing with his assistants on the sidelines, he was stunned at first, and then stunned, and then showed a happy smile.

Paul knows that the joy of winning this season is not because he is better than last season, but because he ......

That man really knows how to "magic"!

"If I could, I would play for the king for the rest of my life until the end of the world!" After the G3 war, in an interview, I saw Paul say this.

A day later, the G4 clash between the Hornets and Celtics continued at the North Shore Garden Arena.

Although the Hornets had a 3-0 lead before the start of the game, compared with the first three games, this was the most serious game for Wang Shuo.

Why?

Because after the Hornets have all but confirmed a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Wang Shuo is clear that it is time for the Hornets to start preparing for the upcoming Eastern Conference semifinals.

According to the schedule, the Hornets will face the winner between the Cavaliers and Pacers after successfully qualifying.

Wang Shuo knows that compared to the Celtics, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Pacers, the Hornets are not sure of beating them.

Therefore, at this moment, the knight and the pacer were already in a bitter battle as Wang Shuo had predicted......

Wang Shuo must make sure the Hornets can complete the sweep of the Celtics on this night to increase the Hornets' chances of winning the next series!

Before the start of the G4 game, in the crowded away team locker room, Wang Shuo said to everyone in an unquestionable tone: "I hope you can forget the first three games on this night."

In this game, I don't want to see you lose because you were slack on the pitch.

I won't stress the importance of this game to you repeatedly, but you should know that I have always worked with players who have a championship in mind. ”

Hearing this, in the away team's locker room, which was still giggling, the faces of all the Hornets players subconsciously became serious.

This year, although Wang Shuo has never mentioned the goal of the Hornets to everyone.

But everyone knows that the goal of the team led by this god of coaching must be to win the league.

Of course, in the NBA, even Wang Shuo can't win all the time.

Can......

If you don't have the heart to win a championship forever, then how can you make history in the NBA?

Wang Shuo hopes that from this moment on, all Hornets players will realize that they have officially joined the NBA championship sequence.

And on the night of the G4 battle, this wasp did not disappoint Wang Shuo.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, the halftime game was over, only to see the scoreboard, 72-35.

At the legendary stadium, where more than a dozen championship flags were hung from the dome, most of the fans had already left the stadium early after halftime, except for some Celtic diehards.

After Wang Shuo's instigation before the game, the Hornets players on the court played a suffocating defense on this night.

The forward line of Leonard, Klay, Butler and Middleton not only effectively limited the scoring of Pierce and James on the court, but also the talented young players returned to support the team's offense in a game where Curry was rather sluggish.

After this game, it was time for Kuhei to climax again.

Because with Curry shooting only 2 of 8 in the first half, can you believe that the Hornets can open up a margin of more than 30 points?

On this night, the one who can best understand Curry's depressed mood must be Jordan.

Because it was in the Wizards......

There are quite a few games, and Jordan will be like Curry did tonight......

No racing experience.

Fortunately, unlike Jordan, Curry's heart is not so small.

Therefore, knowing that his hand feels average, in the second half of the game, Curry also frequently used his involvement on the court to create a more comfortable output environment for his teammates.

On the Celtics' bench, after three quarters, as the score of the two teams stretched to 50 points, a strong sense of frustration immediately surged into the heart of Kerr, who was already sluggish at the moment.

At this moment, James, who has been replaced by Kerr, is in the same desperate mood.

This round of the series is for James, who was still trying to "kill gods" before the game......

Definitely a major blow.

Because, James, who thought he would bottom out this season, could have imagined that he would be greeted in front of him with such an unacceptable ending?

In the end, 142-81, the Hornets completed the sweep of the Celtics with a 61-point victory on the road, and after this game, successfully gave the Celtics, a team with a glorious past, a somewhat embarrassing record:

The record for the largest loss margin in team history.

From the Cavaliers to the Clippers to the Celtics.

From the "81 tragedy" of the year to the "61 tragedy" at the moment, after the game, I saw James, who has been known for losing completely and winning hard since entering the league, walked back to the locker room without saying a word.

At this moment, no one knows what this proud son of heaven who was named "" when he was young is thinking.

But one thing is certain......

After this series, no one will believe that James can bring even one championship to this Celtics team.

After all, for three consecutive years, he has led a round of tours...... Plus also led the Celtics to such a humiliating defeat on this night......

Where do you ask Celtics fans to borrow the courage to continue believing in James?

Fortunately, the next day, Curry, who only scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Hornets in the G4 game, successfully shared the firepower for James.

No way.

This is what is called the desire to wear a crown, and you must bear its weight.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, except for someone who could shake off the pot when he didn't perform well, and could release his teammates' "military power" in conversation and laughter......

In the NBA, if he wants to be a real king, Curry will also have to learn to dare to face doubts in the future.

You must know that at this moment, he is no longer the elementary school student who can thrive under the protection of Kobe.

Rather, it needs to be the head of the Wasp in its own right.

……

In the East, after the Hornets successfully advanced to the semifinals, the next day, the Heat and Knicks also eliminated the 76ers and Wizards with a score of 4-1 respectively.

Because there is a certain hard power gap between the 76ers and the Heat, the end of this series in five games is basically in line with public expectations.

But the Knicks and Wizards are ...... this round of the series

It's obviously so unexpected.

Because before the start of the game, it was generally believed that the Wizards, who had Dajia and Randolph on the inside, had the strength to fight with the Knicks, who had been "declining" in recent years.

However, after the start of the playoffs......

With the exception of one game won by the Wizards in G4, the Knicks have shown their overwhelming dominance in the other four games.

As it turns out, Mike Brown's wellness tactics during the regular season did fool quite a few people.

Even a considerable number of people believe that this Knicks team is no longer the courage it used to be.

But this group of people may not believe it......

In Wang Shuo's eyes, the current Knicks are still the strongest team in the East.

Admittedly, Duncan turned 37 in late April this year......

But a player like Duncan, if you measure his quality by just his age......

Then he will definitely use his on-court performance to make you doubt life.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, even in the finals next season, Duncan was able to cut "15+10" for the Spurs on average per game, and together with his teammates, he led the Spurs to easily defeat the Heat led by James with a score of 4-1.

Therefore, with a "pervert" like Duncan, how can you estimate his strength based on his age?

In addition, after the transformation in this life, Yao Ming's physical condition has also been maintained quite well.

Just looking at the data, Xiao Yao's personal excel panel has indeed slipped to an average of 17.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season......

But a few people noticed that Yao Ming's data was played in an average of about 29 minutes per game?

Wang Shuo is well aware that the weakness shown by the Knicks in the regular season is only because as Mike Brown grows up, he has realized the true meaning of the NBA.

To put it simply......

A team that aspires to a championship, no matter how well you play in the regular season, if you can't win the championship, then you are a failure.

Obviously, the Wizards aren't ready to face the Knicks in the playoffs.

And this is also a big shortcoming of Wizards head coach Mark Jackson.

That's ......

When something happens on the pitch that goes beyond his expectations, he often doesn't react until after the game is over.

In this round of the series, the Wizards, who are far less prepared than the Knicks, can only say that they have lost unjustly in Wang Shuo's eyes.

In the final series of this year's Eastern Conference first round, the Cavaliers advanced to the next round after seven games against the Pacers.

In this series with the Pacers, Mike Malone can say that more than anyone else wants the Cavaliers to beat the Pacers.

Especially when the Hornets eliminated the Celtics in the first round with little to no effort.

Although from the start, Malone didn't think that the Celtics, led by James, could cause problems for his former mentor......

But I can't believe that the Celtics would lose so completely.

As a result, Malone, who wants to beat the Pacers quickly, also committed a big taboo as a team's head coach in this series:

- If you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Although the knights are younger, they are also more energetic......

But they wanted to beat the Pacers quickly, but because of this, they showed a lot of flaws in this series.

It's a pity that Xiao Si is not the Xiao Si of the year after all.

With the passage of time, in the past two years, the famous "Little Overlord" has significantly declined a lot in his finishing ability on the court.

Coupled with the fact that George still needed time to grow, Granger was again suppressed by Joe Johnson in this series......

Therefore, the knights were able to advance in the end.

According to the schedule, the next two semi-final matches in the East are as follows:

The Heat face the Knicks, and the Hornets face off against the Cavaliers.

In the regular season, in four games against the Cavaliers, the Hornets and the Cavaliers fought to a 2-2 draw.

The Cavaliers have Westbrook in the starting lineup who can tangle Curry.

In addition, Griffin, who grew up under Ma Long, has also improved his ability to fight tough battles in recent years.

In addition, the Cavaliers still have a certain amount of lineup depth on the bench, so both Wang Shuo and his assistants agree that this series with the Cavaliers is destined to be a fierce battle.

In Wang Shuo's view, in this round of the upcoming Eastern Conference semifinals, the key to the Hornets' winning game is to see how far the Hornets' forward defenders have grown after a season of evolution.

Wang Shuo knew very well that if he naively thought that the Hornets' group of young players had grown up after the team swept the Celtics 4-0, it would be in this series against the Cavaliers......

Then he is destined to pay the price for his naivety.

As we all know, in the NBA, abuse has never had any reference value.

Only by playing against strong opponents can we test the gold content of a team.

Therefore, the next round of the Eastern Conference semifinals ......

Undoubtedly, it is the time to test whether this Hornets has the strength to join the NBA championship sequence!
