Chapter 105 The Eastern Conference Finals Begin

"Hey, old guy, we've entered the Eastern Conference Finals!" Yang Shuai yelled after punching Garnett hard.fast

"Yes, boy, that's good news, haha."

"We won!" "Eastern Finals, here we come!"

The Celtics clapped and celebrated each other on the bench before lining up to shake hands with the Cavaliers as they eliminated another team.

James stood at the forefront of the Cavaliers team, and then shook hands with the Celtic players in front one by one. When he reached the sixth, he saw Yang Shuai. He paused in the air and turned his face away, but his hand was still stretched out.

Handsome Yang took a look at the other party's reluctance, curled his lips and retracted his half-stretched hand, and then held it with Ilgauskas behind him.

James waited for a while and found that no one shook hands with him. He turned his face and saw that Yang Shuai's hand was separated from Ilgauskas's hand, and then turned to Ben Wallace. Already black and blue.After a hasty handshake with the Celtics behind, James stepped into the player channel at a faster pace.

Of course Handsome Yang knows that the other party is upset, but so what?He was even more upset when he saw James. In this case, he would definitely not give up the opportunity to taunt the other party.

After shaking hands with the Cavaliers players, the Celtics players thanked the fans on the spot, and then entered the locker room. The originally quiet locker room became lively in an instant.

"Eastern Finals, great, I will be the rookie who has gone the farthest this year, I must be." Yang Shuai whistled and shouted, and then punched Garnett: "Hey, old guy, Are you pretending to be deep?"

Garnett grinned, "Cleveland is a thing of the past. I'm thinking about the next round. We're still one step away from the Finals."

Yang Shuai pouted, stretched his waist and said, "Detroit Pistons? Can they stop us?"

Speaking of this, Yang Shuai stood up suddenly, came to the center of the locker room and clapped his hands: "Hey, brothers, we have entered the Eastern Conference Finals, how do you feel?"

The Celtics players looked at each other and yelled, "Brilliant, man!"

"Very good, we've killed the Atlanta guys, we've killed the Cleveland guys, and next, we're going to kill the Detroit guys, right?"

"Yes, kill the people of Detroit!"

"We are the best, aren't we?" Yang Shuai raised his voice and shouted, shaking his fist.

"We are the best!" "Our goal is the championship!" "We can defeat all opponents!"

At the beginning, everyone just had a playful attitude, but with loud roars, all the Celtic players got into the mood. In the end, all the players stood up with clenched fists, and pushed open the locker room Rivers who came in was taken aback by the atmosphere, and he shouted nervously, not understanding what happened: "What's going on, guys?"

"Hahaha!" The originally enthusiastic atmosphere changed instantly, and all the Celtic players laughed, making Rivers confused, but he finally understood that nothing bad happened.

"Looks like guys are very excited, you can certainly do this. I can't find any faults with your performance in this round of the series, it was very good! This is a night for us to celebrate, but, we don't Can relax, we're just in the Eastern Conference Finals, not the Finals, not a championship. The Detroit Pistons are a strong team, so..."

"So, guys, we must show our best form, and then, kill them!" Yang Shuai took Rivers' words and shouted, while other Celtics players followed suit.

"Kill them!"

After taking a look at Yang Shuai, Rivers shook his head with a smile and said, "This guy."

Celtics fans celebrated their advance to the next round at the Garden, while Cavaliers fans grieved in front of the screens.

The elimination of the Cavaliers made those who had high hopes for James feel disappointed, but what should be said has been said after the end of the last game. Although some people still have a glimmer of hope, most people have accepted the defeat the result of.

James did attend the press conference this time, and left in a hurry after saying a few cutscenes. Facing the sharp questions from the reporters, he couldn't defend himself. How could he say, "The game is very unfair, the referee is in control Contest"?If so, he'll be drowned in saliva.

"My condition is not good, which is why we have always been weak throughout the series." James did not say so.

"The Celtics' defense is very strong. They found a way to limit my offense, which made me very passive in the game." James didn't say that either.

"I need more support. When I encountered a double or even a triple team, no teammates stood up in time. We just experienced a big deal, but I think the team needs to make greater changes." James said said.

Whether James admits it or not, at least in the short term he will fade out of people's sight, and the eyes of basketball fans and the media will be on those stars and teams who are still in the playoffs.

"Yang, what do you think of this series?"

"What do you think of this series? It's too easy! Yes, it's too easy." At the press conference after the game, when the reporter asked this question, Yang Shuai repeated it, as if he was afraid that the reporter would not listen. clear.

"They were the Eastern Conference champions last year, but it doesn't mean they have the strength to enter the finals. The only Eastern team that can enter the finals is the Boston Celtics! Detroit Pistons? They are great, but I don't think they You can stop us." Handsome Yang is as confident as ever, which also represents the views of the vast majority of Celtics players and fans.

The surprise in the first round and the sluggishness of the offense and defense did worry the Celtics fans for a while, but with the adjustment of the Celtics, they seemed to see the Celtics who dominated the regular season again. .

"4:1 victory over the Cavaliers, the Celtics are unstoppable" "Goal, the finals!" "The Celtics' Road to Revival" Most of the local media in Boston adopted this extremely confident headline. Everyone realized that the Celtics are making steady progress on the road to the championship, and they have such strength.

The final of the Eastern Conference has been determined to be the Celtics vs. Pistons. The day before the Celtics vs. Cavaliers game, the Pistons also eliminated the Orlando Magic where Warcraft Howard is located with a big score of 4:1.

Compared with the East, the situation in the West is not so clear. The game between the Lakers and the Jazz was on the same day as the game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, but their kick-off time was later. In the end, the Lakers won the game with a total score of 3:2 Leading the opponent, won the battle of Tianwangshan.

In another duel, the Spurs, the champions before the last game, encountered some troubles. They temporarily fell behind the Hornets with a total score of 2:3. If they want to enter the Western Conference Finals, they need to win all the next two games.

Because the results of the Western Conference matchup have not yet come out, the Celtics and Pistons have ample time to rest, and both teams have started training specially prepared for each other.

The styles of the Celtics and Pistons are actually very similar. Both teams are good at defense, and even overlap in star positions.In the interior, the Celtics have the league's top power forward Kevin Garnett, and the Pistons are not too bad. Although the Roaring God Rasheed Wallace has declined with age, he still He is a very threatening figure at the power forward position.

At the small forward position, the Celtics have Pierce, and the Pistons also have the extremely comprehensive little prince Tayshaun-Prince, both of whom can attack and defend.Of course, in terms of pure offensive power, Pierce is better than Prince in terms of scoring means and ability.

As a shooting guard, Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton have similar styles. Both of them are good at running, but Hamilton is better at mid-range shots, while Ray Allen is more lethal outside the three-point line. .However, in terms of organizing offense and attacking with the ball, Ray Allen is better than Hamilton.

Judging from these three positions alone, the Celtics' Big Three undoubtedly have the upper hand, but the Pistons also have an extremely dangerous figure, Chauncey Billups.

As the brain of the Pistons offense, Billups has the strength of an all-star point guard. Whether it is organizing an offense or attacking with the ball, whether it is a breakthrough or a long-range shot, Billups has a skill, and he can do it quite well.

Although Rondo has grown rapidly this year, he can't take advantage of the slightest advantage in the matchup with Billups. The matchup in this position is very likely to change the direction of the game.

Taking into account the strength of the starting players, the strengths of the two teams can basically be equal. At this time, the on-the-spot performance of the stars is particularly important. The state is the key factor that determines who will have the upper hand in the final start of the two teams.

After comparing the starters, it was time for the substitutes. Although during the regular season, including the first four games against the Hawks in the first round, the outside world unanimously questioned the strength of the Celtics' substitutes, and many experts pointed out that the Celtics' offense Too much reliance on the Big Three.But with the stable performance of Yang Shuai and Cassel in the playoffs, this doubt has gradually weakened.In addition, the performance of the two inside players, Bowyer and PJ Brown, has also attracted the attention of many people.

Teams playing against the Celtics will find that the Celtics' bench strength is stronger than expected, both offensively and defensively, and they even have the ability to affect the outcome of the game. This is perfectly demonstrated against the Cavaliers.

The matchup in the Western Conference finally came to fruition after a few days. The Lakers who won the match point did not give the Jazz a chance in the sixth game. The Jazz who eliminated the Rockets finally stopped the Western Conference Semifinals 2:4, and the Lakers won the Western Conference Finals. right.

In another round of confrontation, the seasoned Spurs pulled two consecutive rounds when they fell behind 2:3, and finally eliminated the young Hornets 4:3, allowing this dark horse of the season to end their 07-08 season after the second round of the Western Conference. Like the previously eliminated teams, they can enter the summer vacation.

In this way, the four teams in the East and West finals have been determined, the Lakers in the West against the Spurs, the Celtics in the East against the Pistons, and the day after the seventh game between the Spurs and the Hornets in the West, the Celtics in the East against the Pistons. The Pistons' finals officially started.
