NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 280 281. A Respectable Opponent (77) Asking for a Monthly Ticket!

As the game finally ended, Bobcats players began to celebrate each other crazily, and the atmosphere of the entire home court was instantly ignited.

After all, this can definitely be called a classic moment in this round of the series.

While the Bobcats players were celebrating wildly at home, the Celtics seemed a little out of place.

Head coach Rivers stood on the edge of the coach's bench, looking blankly at the scoreboard above his head.

Maybe he is very disappointed now, maybe he is not disappointed now.

Because before this game, if there is no expectation, naturally there will be no disappointment.

Celtics star Pierce hugged his old opponent Wallace after the game, and quickly returned to the locker room alone.

As for whether the man shed tears in the corridor of the dressing room, no one knows.

"Congratulations, I hope you can go a little further, this is not in vain for you to defeat us."

Rivers and Liu Rui hugged on the sidelines of the arena, but Rivers felt a little bitter at this time.

Seeing Liu Rui who was so young in front of him, Rivers also shook his head helplessly, but no one knew what he was thinking at this time...

"The loss of this round of the series is not due to you. The Celtics lineup currently has a lot of loopholes. After the team strengthens in the future, I believe you will definitely become a better coach."

"And I said in the preseason that I have always enjoyed watching your coaching games, so I hope today's events will not have too much impact on you."

"You have to believe that if the Celtics lineup is better, this round of the series will become an unknown."

"And the reason why I was able to lead the team to win this round of the series does not necessarily mean that I am better than you. To be honest, I have a lot of luck, so don't be discouraged."

Looking at Rivers in front of him, Liu Rui was deeply afraid that his defeat this time would bring about some psychological shadow.

So Liu Rui was also the first to enlighten him.

And as Liu Rui said, being able to beat the Celtics definitely has some elements of luck.

After all, things like God's perspective are always linked to luck.

It's just the final result of the game, which will not change, and luck, after all, is also a part of strength.

"Oh... okay, I look forward to the next fight with you, and hope that by then, I can defeat you head-on."

At this time, Rivers heard Liu Rui, who was much younger than him, standing in front of him and enlightening him, although he was a little uncomfortable.

But I have to admit that after listening to Liu Rui's words, Rivers did feel a lot better.

Especially after Liu Rui won the previous few games, facing the reporter's interview, he didn't say anything irritating because of his youthful vigor.

Instead, he emphasized many times to the media that Rivers is an excellent coach.

This made Rivers' favor for him soar.

Although off the field, many news reports from Liu Rui give people the impression that he is everywhere, so he will definitely be an unstable young head coach, traveling arrogantly.

But at least, in Rivers' view at this time, Liu Rui is already considered a good coach, no matter in terms of coaching ability or character.

"By the way, I hope you can go further, so that after being defeated by you, I won't look too embarrassed, haha."

After chatting with Liu Rui for a while, Rivers also made a joke.

Although he signed a contract with the Celtics for several years, but this year's loss in the playoffs, I don't know if the Celtics' management will take any action.

So the mentality at this time is gradually beginning to look away.

After all, the NBA is such a place, tomorrow or accident, you never know which will come first.

"Hey, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time. It's okay not to mention this matter, but I get a little angry when I mention it. My opponent in the next round will basically be the Pistons."

"To be honest, in this league, I may have the confidence to fight against other teams, but against the Pistons, the chances of us winning the game are too slim."

"Although these words sound a bit like raising the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige, it is also a bit heartbreaking, but it is indeed the truth."

Liu Rui, who was quite happy at first, smiled wryly when he heard what Rivers said.

Thinking of the next round of the series, the Bobcats will challenge the Pistons.

It also made Liu Rui feel a headache, because facing the Pistons, it is no longer possible to defeat the Pistons simply by relying on tactics and cleverness.

This Pistons is not only iron-blooded, its defense is impenetrable, and its mobility is top-notch.

With the spear of the Bobcats today, it may be difficult to pierce the shield of the Pistons.

The players celebrated excitedly on the field, enjoying the cheers of the home fans.

For these young players, this simply satisfies their vanity.

And Gerald Wallace, sitting on the floor at this time, with sweat on his face and braces in his mouth, kept looking up at the direction Pierce was leaving...

In this game, Wallace faced Pierce's sharp offense and played the worst battle in this round of the series.

全场比赛华莱士出场了29分钟，12投仅4中，三分线外4中0，罚球2中1，仅拿下了9分9篮板4助攻的数据，但确背负了5次犯规。

It's also because of putting too much energy into the defensive end and being affected by fouls.

Let Wallace feel very bad on the offensive end of this game.

In this game, Pierce, who was facing off against Wallace, played his best battle in this round of the series.

In the first three games, Pierce was one-on-one, and Wallace limited the offensive efficiency.

Although the Celtics eventually lost the game, Pierce still proved to people that he definitely has the strength to perform better under Wallace's defense.

皮尔斯全场比赛出场了41分钟，27投16中，三分线外7中3，罚球6中5，砍下了40分6篮板2助攻的数据。

And 40 points is also a new high for Pierce's personal career playoffs.

After the end of the first round of the series, the most stable performance in the Bobcats, of course, is Okafor.

奥卡福在第一轮系列赛中，场均出场29.6分钟，能够贡献出13.1分9.5篮板4.6助攻1.1抢断以及1.5次的封盖。

Both offensive and defensive systems have given the Bobcats a lot of help.

In addition to Okafor, Mo Williams on the back line of the Bobcats performed equally well against Payton in the first round of the series.

Averaging 31.2 minutes per game, Mo was able to contribute 14.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and had a 36.7% three-point shooting percentage.

It is also one of the contributors to the Bobcats sweeping the Celtics in this round of the series.

With the complete end of the game, the Bobcats also locked in the Eastern Conference semifinals in advance.

The opponent in the next round will be the decider between the Pistons and the 76ers.

Before that, the Bobcats will be able to get a very adequate rest time.

After the game, Pierce, who walked back to the locker room alone, covered his face with his hands in the passage, holding back tears so that they would not fall.

Halfway through, Pierce stopped without warning, put down his hand, turned around and glanced behind him.

Even if there are only staff in the channel behind Pierce, they don't know everything on the field.

But Pierce stood still for a long time, with tears hanging on his face, and raised his thumb in the air, as if he saw everything...

　Sad, respectable, and sympathetic.

　　Maybe a little cruel, but life is like this, tomorrow or the unexpected, you never know which will come first.

　　Writing about the coach's legendary life and rewriting the regrets among regrets has always been Lao Mao's idea of ​​writing books...

　　The same is true in life, everyone is their own hero, instead of caring too much about what others think, it is better to find someone who understands you, even if it is an opponent...

　　__________
　　Well, stories have to be written and life has to go on.

　　The old cat asks for a monthly pass! !Ask for a recommendation ticket! !

　　After all, this is what a book depends on, and I hope you can support it, thank you brothers!
