NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 272. 273. Alliance of Different Types (78)

For the Celtics, Pierce, who played against Wallace in this game, played 38 minutes and only made 18 of 6 shots, 5 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 6 of 5 free throws. Although he also scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

But without leading the team to win, the offensive efficiency was greatly restricted by Gerald Wallace.

With the end of this game, the score of this round of the series came:

1:0
Bobcats in the away game, but took the lead in getting this round of the series off to a good start.

Let the final result of this round of the series become more confusing.

After the game ended, the local fans in Charlotte also started to celebrate with the city.

A newly established NBA team not only made it to the playoffs, but also went down in the first game of the playoffs and successfully won the game away.

It also made Bobcats fans start endless fantasies.

In the post-match press conference:
Reporter: "Coach Liu Rui, the Bobcats are sixth in the Eastern Conference, and they beat the Celtics on the road in this game."

"It has also become the only existence in the four games today, the only one to win the game, so what do you want to say about the final victory of this game?"

Liu Rui: "First of all, I am very happy with the victory of this game, but it is also the hard work of everyone in the team to win this game away."

"Because the victory in this game is the result of the players' unceasing efforts, and the coaching staff's unceasing research, and finally exchanged for it together."

"The Celtics are a very good team, including their head coach Rivers, who is also a very good coach."

"Although we have won this game so far, in the future, we will definitely play steadily, and we will not have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy."

Even though Liu Rui is currently very excited, he still has to be as modest as possible when facing the reporter's interview.

After all, before this round of the series is over, everything is possible.

Reporter: "Before this game, the duel between Wallace and Pierce has always been called a rivalry between rivals. Do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Liu Rui: "Well... first of all, this matter is very interesting. Whether it is Wallace or Pierce, both of them are very good players."

"This can be seen from the fact that both of them were selected as All-Stars this year. The most important thing is that the two are of the same age and are very young. Therefore, I think it is very possible to call their rivals."

This kind of topical hype can bring a lot of popularity to players.

So of course Liu Rui doesn't mind helping his disciples spread the word.

After answering a few more questions from the reporter, Liu Rui took the players back and prepared to leave.

Next, the two teams will have a day's rest before ushering in the next duel on the 25th.

The venue for the next matchup will still be the home court of the Celtics.

At least for now, in Liu Rui's view, the Celtics are already hard to be opponents of the Bobcats.

Because with the addition of the Bobcats this season, there are excellent offensive candidates at various positions.

On the other hand, when the Celtics are playing with a tailwind, every player can add to the cake, but when it comes to a tough battle, only Pierce and Ricky Davis can stand out on the offensive end.

But for these two people, Liu Rui focused on arranging some defensive tricks.

So if there is no accident, the Bobcats are likely to beat the Celtics and enter the next round of the showdown.

And once the Bobcats break through the first round and enter the Eastern Conference semifinals, it will be a great recognition for Liu Rui.

And the benefits brought to Liu Rui are also huge.

And Liu Rui's contract with the Bobcats this season is a one-year contract.

If the Bobcats want to keep Liu Rui during the offseason, I am afraid they will have to offer a huge contract.

In fact, not long ago, general manager Smith approached him more than once, saying that the team wanted to renew his contract in advance.

But they were all rejected by Liu Rui on the grounds of preparing for the playoffs.

Because of course Liu Rui wants to sign a bigger coaching contract. For NBA coaches, the salary each coach gets is a measure of the coach's personal strength.

And just as it happens, I can also use the contract to let the Bobcats follow my suggestion as much as possible and carry out some operations during this offseason.

Everyone in the Bobcats who won the game also rested in a local hotel in Boston.

After all, the two sides are away from the second game, and there is only one day of rest in between.

…………

April 4

With all the games played on the second day, all the teams that won a good start in the first round of the playoffs will also be released.

In addition to the Bobcats in the East, the remaining three teams are the Heat, Pistons and Wizards without any suspense.

In the West are the Suns, Mavericks, Sonics and Spurs.

In the first round of the playoffs, except for the Bobcats, all the high-ranked teams won the game.

It is precisely because of this that in the first round of the playoffs, the Bobcats became an outlier.

The name of the dark horse is also becoming more and more resounding.

And once again put Bobcats on the top of the hot search.

And every time during the playoffs, every time a game ends, there will always be some idle experts who analyze the video of the last game.

While making money from traffic, increase your popularity by the way.

And just today, the second day after the game with the Celtics.

In the analysis of many experts, more and more people support the Bobcats will be upset in the first round, defeating the Celtics on the next gram.

Among them, the Bobcats 4:3 Celtics had the highest click-through rate, which has exceeded 50% on the Internet.

The Celtics 4:3 Bobcats support rate, currently only 26.1%.

There are even some unscrupulous merchants who see business opportunities and place all kinds of exaggerated advertisements on the Internet.

It is said that the reason why the Bobcats are so good this season is that a group of unknown young people not only made it to the playoffs, but also got upset in the first round of the playoffs.

It is because the players in the team drink XX drinks in their usual training, and take this opportunity to promote their own three-no products.

What's even more frightening is that in the face of this kind of sales promotion, some people actually believe...

Ignored the news on the Internet, although Liu Rui currently has great confidence that he can lead the Bobcats to defeat the Celtics and advance to the next round.

But after all, there are too many unstable factors in the game, so before the game, Liu Rui still watched the replay of the game.

While looking for the Celtics' offensive habits, it is also to look at what mistakes the Bobcats made in the last game.

Fortunately, in the next game, try to avoid...
