God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 556 Green Army!Green Army!
Chang Wei didn't intend to discuss such a serious issue with Jackson on the sidelines of the court, so he led the latter into a reception room.As soon as the door was closed, Jackson couldn't wait to say: "Now you can always talk, right?"

"Some people always like to ask for blows..." Chang Wei muttered, sat down on the chair opposite Jackson, and said very seriously: "Okay, Damon, I've watched their last few games. Video, I can tell you that the Celtics have a very good chance of making the cut, but if they do make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I'm not sure we'll be able to hold it."

"So you mean this season we can reach the Eastern Conference Finals at most?" Jackson frowned.Chang Wei didn't answer him, but just shrugged, saying that he didn't want to see such a situation, but it was the truth.

Jackson still can't believe it. It seems that he has been stimulated by the Bobcats' entry into the Eastern Conference Finals. Chang Wei fully believes that the goal he has set for the team is the championship.But it is clear that the difficulty is very high, and the Celtics are an obstacle that cannot be ignored.

In order to convince Jackson of his conclusion, Chang Wei took a piece of paper and a pen and explained to Jackson why he came to such a conclusion while writing and drawing on it.In the end, Jackson found to his dismay that unless the team exploded suddenly, and continued to explode for several games, it had no chance of beating the Celtics, if they did advance.

He picked up the paper and looked at it again, and suddenly asked: "Is it impossible for the Pistons to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals?"

Chang Wei spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also hope that they will advance, after all, that is my old club. But in fact, the Celtics have a much greater chance of advancing than them, and it is not just because they won The battle of Tianwang Mountain."

Seeing Jackson's disappointed face, Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What if I'm wrong? Let's wait until the end of the other matchup! Besides, it's a huge achievement for the Bobcats to reach the conference finals." We have made great progress, and we have no reason to demand too much. Damon, it is good to have high demands on ourselves, but it is not right to get into the horns."

Jackson grinned reluctantly. He was still very concerned about whether the team could enter the finals, because it would greatly improve his reputation. Any young coach might hope to lead his team to the finals quickly.

Soon the Pistons used their performance to give Jackson a shot in the arm, and they turned back to the guest at the beginning of the sixth game.Although Wade is still lost on the offensive end, he did not continue to carry the burden of scoring on his shoulders, but assigned it to his teammates.It is very rare for Celtics players to feel cold. Only Pierce kept using mid-range shots to keep the team alive, otherwise they would have been opened up by the Pistons.Even so, the Pistons still led 35 to 23 at the end of the first quarter. Wade did not score in double figures, but he had sent 5 assists, which was the key factor for the team to take the lead.

The North Shore Garden Arena is regarded as one of the most terrifying home games in the NBA. It is difficult for the visiting team to retreat here. The Celtics will also play far beyond normal levels on their own territory.This is even more so in this game. This is their last home game in this round of the series. With a big score and a temporary lead of 3 to 2, they have no reason to let their opponents play wild here.

So the Celtics launched a counterattack in the second quarter. As the second scorer, Ray Allen began to find his shooting touch from beyond the three-point line. They once narrowed the point difference to 5 points.Fortunately, Thomas responded in a timely manner from the outside. Although Garnett is the Celtics' defensive backbone and can go inside and outside, he is also powerless in the face of Thomas, who is younger than himself.

The Pistons re-established a double-digit lead and never gave the Celtics another chance.Under Wade's tandem, the Pistons had six players score in double figures. In the end, they easily defeated the Celtics 104 to 90, and this was the first time they scored more than [-] points in this round of the series.This performance gave Jackson more confidence.

When seeing the Pistons dragging the series into the tiebreaker, Chang Wei was also very relieved, but he still didn't think the Pistons could beat the Celtics in the tiebreaker, although it is reasonable for the two teams to win. It's half and half.

After returning to the home court, the high-spirited Pistons were ready to end the series in one fell swoop, but they bumped into the Celtics' iron wall.The Celtics players ran all over the court without hesitation, chasing the small basketball, biting every guy wearing a Pistons jersey like a pack of mad dogs, and physical contact and fouls were everywhere.Of course, this is largely due to the fact that they have such a passionate defensive axis in Garnett, who brings his attitude to each teammate.

Under the pressure of the Celtics' high-intensity defense, the Pistons made 5 turnovers before halfway through the first quarter. The shooting percentage knows how hard they are on the court.Obviously, the Pistons players have been beaten, even if they have won the championship for three consecutive years.

The opponent's sudden increase in defensive intensity caught the Pistons off guard. They were out of shape throughout the first half, and they were already behind by 13 points at the end of the half, and their shooting percentage still did not increase to more than 40%.

After Brown's adjustments, the Pistons improved a bit in the second half, but unfortunately they were at most equal to the Celtics, which was not enough for them to reverse and win the game.With 4 minutes and 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Brown could only replace all the main players. It was meaningless to stay on the court at this time.

In the end, the Pistons failed to continue the strength of the previous game. They lost the tiebreaker 85 to 100 at their home court and could only watch the Celtics advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. It's hard to accept.When the final whistle sounded, every player in the Pistons was silent. They couldn't imagine that they would miss this year's conference finals.

In the meeting room of the Time Warner Center, Chang Wei grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV, shrugged at Jackson, who cursed in a low voice, he didn't expect the Celtics to be evened by their opponents In the case of a low score, they advanced and became the opponent of the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals.Jackson suddenly remembered Chang Wei's previous thesis, could the Bobcats really only reach the Eastern Conference Finals this year?He wanted to give it a try, and it would be even better if he could go further.
