NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 253 Finals opponent

Larry Brown’s remarks can be said to have dealt a deep blow to Milicic!

This rookie who came all the way from Serbia was publicly disliked by the coach just because he was unable to play in the playoffs due to illness.

It is conceivable how big a blow this is to a rookie player.

At the same time, it is also foreseeable what the current situation of this Pistons team will face after being eliminated this season.

Although Milicic’s performance throughout his career was not outstanding, clay people also have three-point fire. Larry Brown not only deliberately suppressed the performance of the Serbian kid in the regular season, but also spoke out after being eliminated in the playoffs.

On the other side.

The Knicks coaching staff who were also interviewed were naturally asked this question.

“Without a doubt, the best player in today’s game is our superstar, Wang!”

“He scored 40 points, 17 rebounds and 9 blocks in this game. He is outstanding… There is no doubt about it! And this has been proven by the world long before entering the NBA. He was able to lead North Carolina to the championship in the ‘Crazy Three’ in his freshman year. There is no need to say more about the strength and growth rate of the Asian boy.”

“But what I want to say is that the statement that giving the Pistons a super rookie like Wang can lead the team to the championship sounds a bit naive, and it sounds like something the coaching staff can say when they are not awake. If the Pistons want to win a rookie who can lead the team in the playoffs by training Milicic, it is wishful thinking! ”

“Even if it is Wang, it is difficult to grow to this level today in the high-pressure environment of the Pistons.”

“I think if Coach Larry wants to attribute the reason to a rookie who failed to play, it is better to focus more on his own skills and tactics and leadership ability, which is a way to significantly improve his coaching ability.”

···

Listening to the speeches of the coaching staff of both sides in front of the camera, even the interviewing reporters were a little ashamed.

After six games of fierce battle, the two old foxes took off their disguises.

The humility and courtesy that lasted for a whole season were now completely shattered on the night when the results came out, to be precise, after Larry Brown’s outrageous remarks.

This also means that the Eastern Conference finals have come to a real end.

The next day.

The amazing quotes of the two coaches after the game were quickly made into reports and distributed to fans around the world.

“The Eastern Conference Finals champion is out, who is the final winner?”

“The Pistons failed to protect the last stubbornness of the Motor City fans, and the twin towers in the interior were both offline in the final quarter!”

“The Asian boy scored 40 points to lead the team to the finals. It is our duty to revive the glory of the Knicks!”

“Wang Song: Give them a little Asian shock!”

This news came from the New York Times in Detroit, which was almost sold out the moment it was released. Even the day before the release, Knicks fans who were always paying attention to the game situation completed the advance reservation.

Finals!

The attraction of these three words to Knicks fans is indescribable.

The last Knicks championship trophy dates back to thirty years ago. In all these years, let alone the O’Brien Cup, even the Knicks fans on the playoffs almost forgot what it felt like.

Not to mention the finals, the highest hall that is infinitely close to the championship trophy!

Even when the Knicks won consecutive games in the regular season and broke the regular season win record, many fans were still skeptical about the direction of the Knicks in the playoffs.

After all, how far can a team with rookies as the core go in the playoffs?

Especially this Knicks team is led by Asians who are often targeted. There have always been home court whistles and superstar whistles in the league, and this phenomenon has increased exponentially in the playoffs.

Rookie!

Even if you are a rookie who has created league history, you have to lie down quietly and grind your qualifications and sharpen your spirit before the league will let you stand out.

To be able to break into the finals under layers of siege… fans can imagine the difficulty of this matter just by thinking about it.

In addition to buying newspapers and magazines to support the home team, more fans have started their own carnival on the Internet.

——【Unbelievable! I thought the Knicks would bring the game back to New York, and I was ready to buy tickets for the seventh game to watch the seventh game in person! 】

——【Luckily there was no Game 7, otherwise it would have been very frightening and torturous for me to watch. It has almost become a tradition for the Knicks to be overturned in key games.

】

——【No way, the Knicks have a bug, the game doesn’t need to go to the seventh game to send the Detroit garbage man on vacation. 】

——【Wang Song’s performance in this game is really eye-catching. The most important thing is that no one in the Pistons can stop his pace. The two inside pillars were absent in the final quarter. I am Larry Brown and I don’t know how to play. 】

——【It should be said that Ben Wallace has a bit of temper, but this Pistons really can’t do without him. 】

——【Although it is a very happy thing to advance to the finals, in order to avoid becoming a background board like the Pistons, I think we need to watch the battle between the Timberwolves and the Lakers later. 】

——【It’s necessary to watch this. If Garnett hadn’t been tough on the court, the Lakers would have started preparing for the finals long ago. Garnett can be tough for 1 game, 2 games… but not 3 games! 】

——【Indeed, if the Knicks used their status as the No. 1 team in the regular season to win the first two rounds, it was still a bit difficult to play the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals. If it weren’t for the obvious shortcomings of Ben Wallace, it would be hard to say who would win the Eastern Conference Finals.】

Fans on the Internet had different opinions, and no conclusion could be reached for a while, but Knicks fans reached a consensus.

Whether the Knicks’ opponent in the finals is the Timberwolves or the Lakers, they will be extremely difficult opponents.

There is no need to say much about the Lakers. Even though they are facing contradictions and watching the OK Dynasty about to disintegrate, they still showed absolute dominance in the first three rounds of the series. In addition to OK, they also have the endorsement of All-Star players such as Payton and Malone.

As for the other team in the Western Conference Finals – the Timberwolves!

Whether it is the “Wolf King” who just completed the buzzer-beater against O’Neal, or the “Alien” Sam Cassell and the “Madman” Latrell Sprewell, they are all top players in their positions in the league.

The Timberwolves now are not the No. 1 draft pick team that fished in troubled waters ten years later, and they have been constantly picking No. 1 draft picks.

After signing Kevin Garnett with the No. 5 pick in 1995, the Timberwolves executives have been constantly building a strong Western team with him as the core.

This year is Garnett’s ninth season. Whether it is the Timberwolves’ No. 1 in the West or Garnett himself becoming a strong candidate for MVP this season… it is just a signal to the outside world.

Minnesota, the winter city, has the strength of a championship team!
