Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 569 James' last game in the NBA!
May 5, Boston, Celtics training hall.

After losing the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals in Charlotte last night, the Celtics returned to Boston overnight, rested for a morning, and started training in the afternoon.

Because, tomorrow night, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played.

It was also the Celtics' first home game, and this game determined a lot of things.

If they can win, it will be 2 to 1, and the Celtics still have a chance to win this series.

If they still lose, the score will become 0 to 3, and the Celtics will be finished.

Facing Coach D, we were trailing 0-3. This was no joke. There was definitely no hope at all.

Coach D was still able to play even when trailing 0-3, but for the others, don’t even think about it, there is no chance at all.

Therefore, if the Celtics want to succeed this season, they must win the next game.

After the previous two games, the Celtics were actually very desperate.

Because in the previous two games, Coach D used two different starting lineups, and both times he easily defeated the Celtics.

The Bobcats' starting lineup for the first game was Duncan, O'Neal, Ding Yanyuhang, Rose and Parker.

In the second game, the Bobcats' starting lineup was Duncan, Marion, Norman Powell, Batum and Grant Hill. In the end, the Celtics still lost badly.

Grant Hill's one-on-one breakthrough showed the Celtics' so-called top five forwards what it means to be invincible in a breakthrough and to surpass Jordan in one step.

Hill's breakthrough, coupled with Duncan's suppression of Davis in the interior, and Batum, Marion, and Norman Powell's three-point shooting, made the Celtics play very awkwardly.

The key is that Grant Hill has more than just a breakthrough and lightning-like first step. His back-to-the-basket shot looks no worse than Leonard's. Even if he is not as good as Jordan, he is second to Jordan.

Otherwise, Du Kang wanted to resurrect Grant Hill directly.

Grant Hill is really strong.

When he was young, he had unrivaled talent and explosive speed. Before retiring, he had mastered his fadeaway jump shot and shooting to the top level.

According to the recovery mechanism of the Dream Back to the Peak card, Grant Hill and O'Neal triggered the peak ratio of their attributes because they still have pursuits and very strong pursuits.

In other words, using the Dream Back to Peak card, Hill and O'Neal have the athletic ability of their youth and the skills of their older age.

If this isn't invincible, then what is invincible?

The Dream Back to Peak card is too friendly for a player like Hill who had unrivaled athletic ability when he was young and developed top offensive skills when he was older.

There is no doubt that Grant Hill was invincible for 20 minutes of the game.

In these 20 minutes, Hill beat the Celtics to death.

This is what makes the Celtics desperate.

Coach D used two completely different starting lineups in the two games, except for Duncan, and defeated the Celtics.

If it weren't for Coach D's commitment to Duncan that he would start every home game, I'm afraid Coach D would use two completely different starting lineups in two games.

And we will definitely win in the end.

If you were a Celtics player, what would your mentality be like?

Of course, that situation is very bad.

If Coach D hadn't said after the last game that Jordan and Beasley would play in the next game, the Celtics probably wouldn't have had any confidence at all.

Speaking of which, it’s really interesting.

Who would have thought that Jordan and Beasley, the top and second-in-command of the Bobcats, would become the players that opponents expected to play and undercover players in the eyes of opponents.

It's really hard to believe.

This is also why after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, many experts and media joked that in Coach D's team, there is no such thing as a leader, second in command, or a third in command. In Coach D's team, you are the leader in whatever position Coach D lets you be.

There is really nothing wrong with this statement.

Because this was the situation with the first Lakers team Coach D led after coming to the NBA.

In Coach D's first season in the NBA, during the regular season, Kobe was undercover like crazy and missed shots in almost every game. However, Coach D led the Lakers to a 40-game winning streak in the regular season.

Is Kobe the boss at this stage?

Obviously, Howard is the boss.

But in the playoffs, Howard started to go undercover again for a long time.

So is Howard the boss?

Nor is it.

In the playoffs, the top five guards were Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Iverson and Nash.

In Coach D's second season, it became even more obvious.

Yao Ming, McGrady, and Kobe, these three, in the second season, McGrady and Kobe played supporting roles for Yao Ming for a long time. Any of the three can be the boss, it just depends on who is willing to step forward.

Even the Lakers have lost the concept of being the boss since this season.

If the debate and fight between Howard and Kobe for the top spot was going on during that season, then Coach D's second season started to fade.

Until last season, when Kobe, McGrady, Yao Ming and Roy were ruled out for the season, the Lakers were completely without their leader.

Ebanks is just the leader of the team. Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, Jokic and McCaw, as well as Wade, Seth Curry, even Garnett and Pierce, are not the real boss of the team.

Even Wade, who won the regular season MVP and Finals MVP, also won the best sixth man award and played as a substitute for the team for a long time.

The only player in NBA history to win the NBA double MVP as the best sixth man.

In last season's Lakers, in last season's team led by Coach D, the concept of the so-called star player has been completely diluted.

But by this season, this is no longer a downplayed concept, it is simply that there is no so-called number one player at all.

This season, in the regular season, every player on Coach D’s team has been the boss on the court.

Even Myles Turner, Thabeet and Norman Powell, three very young and very green players, have played as main attackers and core players in the game.

It can be said that every one of the 15 players on the Bobcats has room to perform.

And, the key is, Coach D let them play as the core, and they were all competent.

Therefore, when the Bobcats continued to win, the Bobcats in the best condition at that time were considered to be a team with 15 core players.

In every game, Coach D can find a lineup that can restrain the opponent and target the opponent madly. The Bobcats claim that they can target any opponent in the league.

In fact, the specialness of this Bobcats team can be seen from here.

It’s just that these NBA media experts and fans are so forgetful.

Later, the Bobcats' winning streak ended, and the Bobcats no longer had such an extreme rotation, so there was no such saying.

Now, after the past two games, the league is remembering just how terrifying the team Coach D has built is.

It is indeed quite terrifying.

Facing the Celtics, who claimed that the probability of winning this series was over 95%, in the end, they were targeted by Coach D like this.

All I can say is that many experts who support the Celtics were slapped in the face by Coach D.

The Celtics are playing like this now, trailing 0-2. In fact, the most embarrassed people are not only the Celtics fans and players, but also the group of experts at ESPN.

That was really uncomfortable.

Now fans all over the world are madly slapping ESPN in the face.

Many people ridiculed that ESPN was James' last die-hard fan.

Even Rihanna has stopped being a fan now.

Her identity as a James fan and James' jerseys have become the spice of role-playing between her and Embiid.

Rihanna no longer posts anything about James on Twitter. Now Rihanna's Twitter has become a place to post pictures of her daily love life with Embiid.

I can only say that the fans are really mean.

However, ESPN has been madly supporting James since his debut. Now that James has become like this, they still stick with him.

Even a fool, no, a blind person, can hear that James now has basically nothing except a good body.

With such a good body, he can't dribble because of his poor skills and doesn't dare to run on the offensive end, so he can only be a waste on the offensive end.

Such a player, if he cannot be effective on the defensive end, is basically a complete waste and a burden.

The Celtics were defeated in the past two games, and the main reason was James' collapse.

In the past two games, the Bobcats have replaced 9 starters except Duncan, and James really couldn't play any of them.

It would be fine if he couldn't beat these Bobcats players, but on the defensive end, James couldn't keep up and was often distracted.

It seems that without Beasley and Jordan, James has become distracted.

Now many Celtics have asked the team to pardon James.

James' contract has become a complete garbage contract.

As long as the league continues to focus on James's traveling, James will have no chance of becoming a star in the future.

A player who trembles even when dribbling should not appear on the NBA court.

So much so that many of James' fans said that he should have gone directly to the CBA or retired after last season's finals.

He shouldn't be in the NBA.

Coach D's failure to kick James out of the NBA was not a sign of kindness, but rather the greatest malice towards James.

Let the whole world see what level of player James would be if he stopped traveling.

Now even the most brainless fans would not say that James' hard power has reached the All-Star level.

Even though James has many MVPs, including FMVP and championships, except for ESPN's historical ranking which still ranks James 20th, other authoritative media do not even rank him in the top 100.

According to TNT, "A player whose hard power is only at the level of a role player is not qualified to participate in the historical ranking. Apart from the league's rationalization of walking, various changes to adapt to his rules, and his corruption of the league environment, we can't see any contribution of James to the NBA and basketball. He is a parasite that sucks blood from the league and his teammates. Even if we rank him ahead of Canaan, Canaan will not accept it. Historical status first requires the majority of people to accept it. If the majority of people behind him do not accept it, then naturally it is impossible for him to get this position."

This statement is really interesting.

Jordan ranks first, and most of the 100 or even 200 people behind him are convinced.

Then Jordan is first, that's fine. If you are not convinced, stand up and compete with Jordan and see who everyone chooses.

James' current situation is that even if he is ranked 1000th, ahead of Canaan, most of the players behind James, such as Canaan, Covington, Barea, etc., are not convinced by James.

After TNT said this, Kanan, who was already fishing, actually responded.

Said TNT could put West ahead of him, any West could, but not LeBron James.

Then TNT also made a very funny spoof of James VS Canaan to see who has a higher historical status.

In the end, 99% of the fans chose Kanan.

"Kanan is my D's dad!"

"Kanan is a priest. The status of a priest is even higher than that of God!"

"Comparing James' historical status with Canan is an insult to the priest. Take out Jordan, the priest is invincible!"

Although this is a bit of a joke.

However, we can also see what the overwhelming public opinion among NBA fans is like at this time.

It can be said that most neutral fans do not have a good impression of these Celtics players.

James is the representative.

In addition, the Celtics fans were very unkind and went to Charlotte and shouted, Jordan, I am your dad.

At this moment, the Celtics are the target of ridicule by fans.

James is the most ridiculed, Leonard is second, George is third, and Smart is fourth. Except for Davis who has almost no black spots, the other four starters all have black spots.

The current Celtics are truly a group of villains who are hated by everyone.

The Celtics team with O'Neal, Garnett and Pierce were all villains.

However, the alliance's favorability is quite high.

And this Celtic...

I can only say, really can only say, that James has hurt me badly.

James has really damaged public opinion.

If it weren't for Leonard's fate-changing buzzer-beater in the last round against the 76ers, which whitewashed Leonard a little, the Celtics would probably be in a worse situation now.

Is the power of public opinion important in the NBA?
Of course it is important.

For example, Celtics fans are very quiet right now.

"Coach D put Jordan and Beasley in the starting lineup, which is giving the Celtics a victory. Such a victory is better off not having it!"

"It's a pain in the ass 0-4. Go to hell. Go to hell. I don't want to watch any more NBA games this summer. Two first-round picks from the Nets only resulted in this kind of result? Disgusting!"

"This summer, either James or Amazing Monty must go away. I never want to see James appear in the NDRC again!"

In such an atmosphere, it is very difficult for the Celtics to make a comeback in Game 3.

So, on the Internet, a large number of neutral fans such as Bobcats fans and Lakers fans began to mock Celtics fans.

"Even if Coach D gives you a gift, you can't win!"

"You still want to win another game. It's ridiculous. Coach D asked Jordan to go to Boston to be your dad!"

The already depressed Celtics fans became even more depressed and irritable.

The angry Celtics fans, of course, put the pressure on the Celtics.

"If the Celtics can't win the next game, all Celtics players will get out and rebuild next season!!!"

This is not just a slogan shouted by Celtics fans.

In the Celtics locker room before the game.

In the past two games, the Celtics collapsed so quickly that Danny Ainge is under great pressure.

Is this the Celtics he created?

The current Celtics are completely a supporting role in the NBA, and are not at the same level as the protagonist Coach D.

The experts had a 97% chance of advancing, but they collapsed at the start of both games.

Danny Ainge's mentality collapsed along with the game.

So, Danny Ainge, said the same thing.

And he said it while looking at James.

"If we lose this game, the Celtics will rebuild next season, and none of you will be left alive! I mean what I say, show your blood in this game and let our fans see that you have this damn thing!"

James' heart was trembling.

He vowed that if he left the Celtics, no NBA team would take him in.

If he loses this game, he won't have a chance to compete in the next game.

So, this game may be his, King James' last game in the NBA!
No!

I do not want!
I still have to prove myself!

I haven't proven myself yet, and I don't want to leave the NBA yet!

Bloody!
Bloody!!

Bloody!!!
James' eyes were red.
