Chapter 589 The Three Young Masters of New York Unleash Their Power! Su Yan Chases After the Five Gi
Yes.
The playoffs are not just about pure skill, but also about game experience, and... the desire to win!
Obviously.
The Thunder have no shortage of strength and fighting spirit, and that's what helped them defeat the Nuggets' Big Three.
They are not lacking in talent.
But... Durant, a fourth-year student; Westbrook, a third-year student; and Harden, a second-year student—all three were playing in the playoffs for the second time.
I really have very little experience.
They can win against weaker teams or teams of similar strength by relying on their talent and fighting spirit.
However, if they encounter a stronger team, they will have no chance if they lack experience.
That's all for tonight.
He played a great game, but in the end, Paul and Kobe drew fouls on him repeatedly, ruining the game.
This was a loss.
This is more like a microcosm of the entire series.
Of course... these are also lessons the "Thunder Trio" need to learn on their path to growth!
……
Another venue.
The conference semifinals between the Heat and the Bulls are also in full swing.
Rose, a third-grader, is really strong.
But... he's just one person, while the Heat have three players as freakish as him.
The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and the domain of the "Heat Big Three".
The Heat's pure talent is overflowing.
Rose's "three tall" teammates, however, were unable to perform to their full potential against truly strong opponents in the playoffs, particularly against the current "Heat Big Three."
He couldn't stand alone!
The Heat, with unstoppable force, defeated the Bulls and burned everything in their path!
……
The first match of the regional semifinals has been completed.
Unlike the first round, all eight teams are now very strong, so the outcome of a single match doesn't really mean anything.
The suspense remains.
The outcome remains uncertain.
What will happen next?
Let's start with the Knicks vs. Celtics series.
After the Knicks' blowout victory over the Celtics in Game 1, the Celtics' morale was somewhat shaken.
Two days.
After Coach Doc Rivers relentlessly poured out motivational messages, everyone finally managed to get their mindset back on track.
result……
The Knicks won Game 2 by 21 points again, another game where they were blown out in three quarters.
A dominant 2-0 lead, a rout.
From fans to players, the Celtics are on the verge of collapse, unsure of how to proceed.
"Damn it!"
Doug Rivers gritted his teeth and cursed, his face ashen; he had never expected things to turn out this way.
He didn't have time to think too much.
He had to keep giving the players motivational speeches, so he clapped enthusiastically and encouraged them: "Guys, losing away from home doesn't mean you've lost."
You know very well.
We perform worse when playing away; home is our territory.
North Shore Gardens is known as the "devil's home ground".
We're now back on our home turf. We'll regroup and be determined to win the next two games to tie the score.
Believe in me, believe in yourselves, we can definitely do it.
We're the Big Five! Our only goal this year is to win the championship!!!
A victory achieved through sheer willpower!
We @……! (~)(&&))”
For two whole days, there were no tactical arrangements whatsoever, and Doc Rivers just kept reassuring the players.
These past-their-prime stars have reached a point where their skills won't improve further, and they already have plenty of playoff experience.
They won't become stronger.
If they maintain enough confidence and work together, they can contend for the championship.
There is no doubt about it.
Doug Rivers firmly believed this.
What about this time?!
Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett all still had a strong desire for the championship.
They adjusted back to normal once again.
They regained their confidence and were determined to defeat the "New York Three" on their "devil's home turf".
Good idea.
He is very confident.
As a result... the "New York Three Youngsters" came to Boston and continued to do whatever they wanted at TD Garden, known as the "devil's home court".
Although the Celtics were in better form back at home, they still couldn't escape their fate of losing.
3: 0.
The Knicks are just one game away from sweeping the Celtics.
Even with the acquisition of championship power forward Marc Gasol during last year's offseason, the "new Celtics Big Five" still faced the risk of being swept.
Go round and round.
This ending is truly devastating.
The Celtics' morale is nearly shattered.
The key point is... Doug Rivers, seeing the current situation, didn't know how to offer any comfort.
Unable to offer comfort.
Elimination seems inevitable.
"With such a strong championship-contending roster, why did they perform like this?!" Coach Doc Rivers couldn't understand it.
It's not just him.
The Celtics' management couldn't understand it either; they couldn't accept that a roster that could have at least reached the Finals was eliminated in the second round.
They pressured Rivers, saying that even if elimination was a foregone conclusion, he absolutely could not be swept out of the competition.
We absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be swept at home.
That would be so embarrassing! Fans would definitely yell at them, and it would affect the team's popularity!
The pressure is on Rivers.
He knew in his heart that if such a thing really happened, he would probably be fired during the off-season.
"We can't be swept away! We can't be swept away! We can't be swept away!!!"
He was determined to keep his job.
Rivers took the lead in rallying his team, continuing to encourage them to lower their expectations and not aim to win the series.
They just hope not to be swept aside and not to disappoint the fans.
At first, the "new Celtics Big Five" found it hard to accept, but with Rivers' persistent efforts... they were released.
When the requirements are lowered.
Everyone calmed down and played better than before. In Game 4, the match point, they were in excellent form!
of course.
This doesn't mean the Knicks are in bad form.
Before the game, everyone cheered and shouted, "No Game 5! Let's beat the Celtics tonight and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals smoothly!!!"
Su Yan also switched to serious mode.
It's worth noting that the reason this series was so easy was largely due to Curry's offense and playmaking, and George's defense and fast breaks.
He is no longer fighting alone.
The Celtics can no longer use the same rotation strategy as last season to wear down Su Yan.
G1 and G2.
That's exactly what they did, and they suffered a crushing defeat.
In Game 3, the Celtics focused on Curry and George, freeing up Su Yan, with the same effect.
G4 tonight.
The Celtics, now relaxed, will play at their own pace, without targeting anyone specifically, relying solely on pure skill for a fierce battle!
Let's see who's stronger!
Su Yan was completely freed, and having finally been freed, he was not going to be polite at all.
Activate the carnage mode.
On offense, he can attack any of the Celtics' five stars without discrimination.
On the defensive end, as long as you don't face Garnett and Gasol too deep in the paint.
No matter who he encounters, Su Yan will resolutely defend against them.
Moreover, their offense is effective, and their defense is efficient.
From God's perspective.
You can feel Su Yan single-handedly chasing after the five stars of the Celtics!
