Vol 2 Chapter 468: The last green shirt (one / four!)

After the game press conference, team general manager Cole, coach Gentry, core James and Nash attended the press conference.
"In a failed season, will the team make reinforcements during the offseason?" A reporter asked Cole.
"Failed season? No, we have just started. There are many external factors for the loss of the first round. T-ma's injury and short run-in time. This is not a failed season, but there is no doubt that we will be in the offseason. Reinforcement period. "Cole said with a smile.
"Steve, your contract will expire this summer. Will you stay in Phoenix?" The reporter asked Nash.
"This is my home." Nash said with a smile, glancing at James afterwards.
"LeBron, you have a player option in the summer, will you execute, and then stay in Phoenix? Stay here, with the fans who are crazy for you." The reporter finally asked James.
"Yes, the fans here are crazy, I love Phoenix, and I am willing to be a member of the Suns again, but that is all summer, and we will have an answer at that time." James did not give an affirmative answer, but gave Gave a positive signal.
...
The first round of the Suns led to a heated discussion among fans, but the fierce playoffs will never lack topics.
The next day after this, the Celtics and Pacers opened the sixth game of the series in Boston.
This is the last home game for the Celtics. If they lose, they will tie up with the Pacers in Indiana.
In the history of the NBA, there are countless games in the tie-break. There are more than 20 finals, but the home team's victory is as high as 70%. If you choose, no team will want to play the tie-break in the away game.
So for the Celtics, this is the best time to win the series.
For the Pacers, who are already third in the regular season, they are even more so.
The match between the two sides was full of physical confrontation at the beginning, and the field was full of gunpowder. Both teams defended with all their strength, and the scene has always been deadlocked.
Until the fourth quarter, the Celtics showed their playoff experience, began to constantly break through the inside to kill, and slowly established a leading advantage.
86 to 81, in the end, the Celtics won this defensive battle, eliminated the Pacers 4-2 to advance to the second round, successfully achieved "Black Six". Jinmanman struggle diary
Garnett and Pierce both contributed 20+. Rondo also had a quasi triple-double with 9 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
It was also after this game that the two rounds of the East and West came out.
West: Thunder vs. Lakers, duel between old and new aristocrats; Spurs vs. Grizzlies, last season's Black Eight grudges, this time extended to the second round;
East: The Bulls VS the Heat, the two newly-advanced teams meet in a narrow path; the Cavaliers VS Celtics, Tang Tian launched the sixth championship trophy of his career, and his opponent is the last Celtics.
TNT's latest program also conducted a final analysis of the four groups.
When talking about the Cavaliers and the Celtics, Buckley thought for a long time before saying: "This is the smallest group of suspense. The playoff experience is the only advantage of the Bostonians."
"Is the Cavaliers inexperienced?" O'Neill asked with a smile.
Buckley raised his hand in the air, without holding a word for a long time, and finally looked at O'Neill slightly: "You must give them a chance!"
"Well guys, although a little smaller, Boston still has a chance to win." Smith said at this time.
"Look, Kenny knows the ball. He always supports me." Buckley opened his mouth wide.
"But the advantage of the Bostonians is not their experience, but their strike line. The combination of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce is stronger and more mature than the Knicks' strike line. New Yorkers are much stronger, "Smith continued.
Buckley's face was a little swollen, but his skin was indeed thick, and he immediately said, "This is what I haven't had time to say."
After he finished, O'Neill and Smith smirked directly.
...
"This is a game. Whether our front line can be held or not will determine the direction of the entire series." At the regular meeting of the Cavaliers' coaching staff, Casey said first.
"I think Dwyane is right. This round of the series will be a defensive battle, a melee battle, and our striker will play a decisive role." Kassel also said.
The other teaching assistants nodded one after another. Head of cultural circle
Buckley and Smith saw what they saw, and the Cavaliers coaching staff could see it.
The combination of Anthony and Stoudemire, one does not pass the ball, the other is not reused, looks gorgeous, but flashy.
But Garnett and Pierce are both old partners, and this year's playoffs are very good. This is a combination of 1 + 1> 2.
When the Cavaliers had James, the striker did not lose or even dominated, but without James, everything was reversed.
Tang Tian has not commented, he can see all these things, but he has some ideas of his own, although it may not be very mature.
After the regular meeting, Tang Tian called Kassel to his office alone.
"What do you think of the Celtics' internal configuration?" Tang Tian asked after sitting down.
"In the regular season and the first round, they used a combination of Bath and Garnett, but I think if they match us, they may use two big men, Steensma and Hollins, they are both Standard flesh shield inside. "Kassel analyzed.
"Did you watch the first round game between the Thunder and the Mavericks?" Tang Tian then asked.
"Look, they ..." Kassel responded slowly, saying what he soon realized, "Do you want to defeat the Celtics from the inside?"
He seemed a little surprised ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This idea is different from the previous regular meeting or the mainstream view of most people.
Tang Tian nodded: "Single inside, there is also a breakthrough impact outside."
Cassell is not the same as Casey. The latter belongs to the old-school coach and emphasizes defense. However, Cassell's tactical ideas and ideas are more active, so Tang Tiancai asked him alone.
"This is a very novel idea." Kassel said with excitement. He realized that Tang Tian asked him what the Celtics' inner line configuration meant.
Garnett is one year old, and his ability has deteriorated significantly. He can still carry Yao Ming two years ago. It is difficult to say now, so as he said before, the Celtics will definitely use Steen more. Smar and Hollins are inside two, but that is two meat shields. If the Cavaliers really want to fight against them, they are difficult to stand inside. It is estimated that they will be beaten in a few rounds.
"But there may be risks," Kassel said after being excited.
Tang Tian looked at him curiously.
