NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 196 The “arrogant” Asian boy

D’Antoni brought Wang Song to the post-match press conference as promised.

According to Wang Song’s character in the past, he did not have the habit of attending post-match press conferences.

But today, in addition to creating a historical record of 40 points + 30 rebounds, which was an irresistible reason for participating, the Asian boy took the initiative before D’Antoni invited him.

As soon as he returned to the locker room, he hurried to the press conference with the head coach.

The result was as expected!

In the face of a big win, Wang Song spoke loudly and gave the Celtics a wave of face.

The contrasting face of the Asian boy made the Celtics media, who had been full of bad intentions before the interview, feel helpless and humiliated.

The sharpness shown by the Knicks rookie after the game made them feel unfamiliar!

······

The next day.

The local media in Boston severely criticized Wang Song’s speech yesterday. They portrayed this young man who was different from his usual low-key and humble style as an arrogant and ignorant Asian.

I thought that under this rhythm, many fans would lose their good impression of Wang Song.

They even expected the Knicks fans to turn against them and criticize this “arrogant” Asian boy online.

But what they didn’t expect was that no one paid for their smearing, even if some of the content they explained was Wang Song’s original words.

But the fans’ reaction helped them recall a sentence: In competitive sports, being bad is the original sin.

The fans did not put the pressure of public opinion on the Knicks!

After Wang Song got 40+30, fans on the Internet did not put pressure on Wang Song’s post-match interview, but instead praised and flattered him crazily, and a large number of fans felt that Wang Song, who had subverted his previous image, finally showed his strength.

Both on and off the court, he put enough pressure on the Celtics!

Wang Song’s madness after the game was like a sharp blade stabbing the Celtics’ hearts, causing pain to Boston fans while also making countless fans happy.

Especially in contrast to Pierce’s post-match speech, the attitude of the slum black man towards the fans disgusted many neutral fans.

This behavior ruined the Celtics’ goodwill and pushed many spectators to the Knicks.

For a while, the New York Knicks received more and more support in public opinion.

——【This round of series should end here. Although the Knicks will not be the first team to qualify, the gap in strength between them and the Celtics should be the largest, just like their ranking. 】

——【Good win! Just because of Paul Pierce’s attitude after the game, the Boston team doesn’t deserve to advance. 】

——【Didn’t you see the post-game interview yesterday? After winning Game 3, the Celtics looked so ugly, pulling the banner to the Knicks locker room… What a tasteless thing! 】

——【If we had won yesterday, it would have been fine, at least we could have saved face by tying the score, but this tragic defeat can be said to be the halftime champagne in the basketball world! 】

——【Halftime champagne × pre-game champagne √】

The plane back to New York passed through the sky.

After a big win, the Knicks players had their own carnival last night. The occasional relaxation in the tense playoffs helped to relax the players’ physical and mental state, not to mention after a big win.

“After a night, I still feel like yesterday’s game was a dream.”

“How did we win the game, boss? Yesterday’s game should be engraved on the Celtics’ team history.”

“How can we get 40 points and 30 rebounds without overtime…”

“You shouldn’t ask the boss this question, you should ask Wang!”

···

In the cabin.

After a night of venting, the Knicks players are still full of energy.

Recalling yesterday’s G4, there are endless topics to talk about.

D’Antoni looked at the jubilant players and was happy from the bottom of his heart.

This big win obviously raised the team’s mental outlook to an unimaginable level. D’Antoni believes that before the Eastern Conference Finals, there should be no opponents with a better mental state than the current Knicks.

He did not join in the jokes between the players, but looked at Wang Song.

As the biggest contributor to the Knicks’ victory, Wang Song simply chatted with his teammates and picked up the “Sports Daily” that he asked his assistant coach to buy in the morning.

At the post-match press conference yesterday, the performance of the Asian boy surprised D’Antoni.

I thought that this rookie who showed his edges at the right time would become more agitated after yesterday’s post-match interview.

After all, when he was less than 20 years old, he scored a super double-double of 40+30 in the playoffs of his rookie season, which would make anyone confused for a few days.

But what D’Antoni didn’t expect was that after a night, Wang Song became the calm and stable Knicks rookie again.

On the other side.

Wang Song flipped through the sports newspaper in his hand, looking for the information he wanted to get.

But after flipping through it for a while, he found that the pages were almost dominated by the Knicks’ big win yesterday. Most of the other teams only had one result in the newspapers, but the Knicks were not only full of reports, but even their headshots were all over the reports.

The stable experience value of yesterday’s game was not much. When he played completely freely, the reasonable selling options for G4 were not actually the majority.

But the result is also obvious. His points and rebounds set a new career high, and he completed a 40+30 feat in the playoffs.

Looking at his overwhelming headshots and the Knicks’ dominating the page, Wang Song knew that he would definitely face stronger resistance in the subsequent games, so he wanted to take a look at the opponents in the next round in advance.

Eastern Conference!

Except for the Knicks’ big win, most teams completed G4 in accordance with the rules.

The Pacers and Pistons both swept their opponents with a 4:0 attitude and became the first teams to enter the division semifinals.

Even when they returned to their home court, the Pelicans and Bucks still failed to cause much resistance to the Pacers and Pistons.

Relying on Jermaine O’Neal’s dominance in the interior with an average of 22.3 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in the first round, the Pacers can be said to have won the series without bloodshed.

The Pistons’ backcourt duo of Billups and Hamilton averaged 49 points per game throughout the series, beating the Pelicans’ backcourt duo by 15 points, and the Detroit Five Tigers all had very impressive performances in the first round.

In the entire East, only the matchup between the Nets and the Heat is still full of suspense. After the Heat were overturned by the Nets in G4, the score was 2:2!

The confusing game made the fans of both teams feel very uneasy. Many fans began to worry about being dragged into a tiebreaker before officially entering the decisive battle.

Because once entering the tiebreaker, both the winning and eliminated teams will become very uncomfortable.

Needless to say, the losing side, if being eliminated in the playoffs is a common occurrence in the military, then being eliminated in the tiebreaker is definitely the biggest loser.

The winning side will face the Knicks, who have rested for several days, immediately after the first round of seven games.

As for the match against the Celtics…neither the Heat nor the Nets have considered this.

Because if the Green Army can get out of the first round of the series from a 1:3 disadvantage, then the Celtics will be even more terrifying than the Knicks.
