NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 160 Entering the Finals

5 month 19 day.

The Boston Celtics host the Washington Wizards.

This season they scored 48 wins and 34 losses, third in the Eastern Conference.

They won 12 more games than last season.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Wizards and Nets, they are almost the fastest improving team in the league.

Actually, for them.

It doesn't matter whether the Eastern Conference finals meet the Nets or the Wizards.

In the regular season, they played 3 wins and 1 loss against these two teams.

That is to say, there are psychological advantages.

The difference is that the Nets have a better record.

If you play against the Nets, there is no home court advantage.

As for the Wizards.

Paul Pierce said he had something to say.

Pierce has no feelings for the Wizards.

It was Jordan who really made him uncomfortable.

Pierce is not yet 25 years old.

Jordan is 39 years old.

Pierce played all 82 games.

Averaged 26.1 points per game, fourth in the league.

Jordan scored 27.9 points, second in the league.

Pierce scored 48 points in a single game, tied for eighth in the league.

Jordan's highest score is 52 points, fourth in the league.

Because of full attendance, Pierce scored 2144 points throughout the season, second in the league.

However, although Jordan rested for 3 games due to injury, he still has 2205 points, and he is still firmly ahead of Pierce.

Is this old guy really 39 years old?

Now, it's finally reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Celtics first killed last season's Eastern Conference champion, the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson.

In another 5 games, the Gentleman swept the Pistons.

Now, the Celtics have played 3 more games than the Wizards.

Still, Pierce and Walker are confident.

After all, in terms of the team's overall offensive firepower, the Celtics are still better than the Wizards.

"No matter how many points Jordan scored alone, he couldn't replace the entire team."

Before the game, Pierce expressed his determination to win.

He did the same.

Throughout the game, Pierce scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Antoine Walker 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists.

Kenny Anderson and Eric Williams also scored in double figures.

As a result, 114:97.

The Celtics suffered a disastrous home defeat.

Jordan played 39 minutes, 42 points and 4 assists.

Barkley had 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.

Zhou Yao had 3 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.

Hamilton scored 4 points, sprained his foot in the first quarter, and the team doctor said he would miss at least two games.

But Arenas, Lue, Davis, and Laettner scored in double figures.

Jordan's possession time in this game was extremely short.

But he had an extremely hot touch in this game.

Basically the ball gets into his hands and the Wizards score right away.

The Celtics had to put most of their defensive strength on Jordan.

But it gave the Wizards other players more opportunities.

"Fortunately, the league now allows double-teaming without the ball, otherwise Jordan doesn't know how many points he can score in this game!"

Although they lost the game, the Celtics team was not very depressed.

No way, Jordan's touch is too good.

There is a shot, and he can score no matter how double-teamed.

Such a game only lost 17 points, which is not easy.

And the Celtics' offensive performance is also above the standard.

It is impossible for Jordan to have this touch in every game.

If Jordan keeps this shooting percentage every game, then the Celtics will accept their fate.

……

The second game between the Wizards and the Celtics is still in Boston.

The time is July 5th.

Prior to this, the second game of the Western Conference Finals had already been played on May 5.

The Lakers, who won the first game by 7 points, lost 6 points this time.

Kobe Bryant, the best Lakers player in the previous game, was only unsatisfactory this time.

And after the game, news broke out.

It was Kobe who ate a hamburger and got food poisoning.

Whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose is hard to tell.

Seeing that the Kings were able to reverse the Lakers.

The Celtics also seem to see hope.

In Game [-], the Celtics' offense played well.

Pierce scored 32 points and Walker scored 30 points.

The Celtics team scored 105 points.

Moreover, they also limited Jordan's scoring to 25 points.

It's just that Jordan also grabbed 7 rebounds and sent 6 assists.

Hamilton couldn't play.

Arenas, who replaced him, made 17 of 4 shots and scored only 11 points.

Zhou Yao scored a triple-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists.

What no one expected was that the frequent passes from Jordan and Zhou Yao actually helped Barkley score a season-high 40 points.

Successfully told the Celtic generals, your uncle is still your uncle.

Barkley is 39 years old, and previous injuries also made them lose the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

But as long as there is a good helper around.

Barkley is still the one who can kill the game.

The Wizards' score was not as high as the previous game, but 106 is enough.

……

On the 24th, the Western Conference Finals g3.

The Lakers who returned to the home court did not enjoy the home court treatment at all.

The Lakers' shooting percentage was mediocre.

Kobe, in particular, still hasn't fully recovered from the food poisoning.

To make matters worse, the Kings got more free throws.

The Kings lead 2:1.

On the 25th, east g3.

The Wizards who returned to the home court did not disappoint the fans.

And this time it was Zhou Yao who stood up.

25 points is not much to score though.

However, under his tight defense, Pierce, who scored explosively before, only scored 11 points.

The Wizards only scored 91 points, but it was still better than the Celtics' 87 points.

……

On the 26th, the Western Conference Finals g4.

O'Neal, the big insider, was defended with less than 41% shooting rate.

Kobe and O'Neal were almost sent off.

Fortunately, the referee did not give the Kings too many free throws in this game.

The Lakers finally struggled to win a victory.

On the 27th, the Eastern Conference final g4.

The Celtics, who have no way out, must give it a go.

This time, the two teams almost completely gave up on defense.

Even Zhou Yao, who averaged 5 steals per game in the regular season, only got 1 steal in this game.

The two sides come and go, showing the fans what it means to turn the basket into the sea.

The Celtics scored a season-high 131 points.

9 players played and 8 scored in double figures.

48 minutes into a game, they were almost 47 minutes ahead.

It's a pity that after eighteen prayers, the last shiver is missing.

Zhou Yao's only steal of the game happened in the last minute.

Pierce and Walker completed the pick-and-roll, thinking that this goal must be scored.

The result is that there is no chance to even make a move.

……

The Wizards won.

Completed the sweep again.

Back then, the bulls were as strong as the Bulls, but they didn't complete the Eastern Conference sweep and entered the finals.

The 39-year-old Jordan is not old.

On the other hand, compared to the past, the East is really much weaker.

Everyone is cheering and celebrating.

No one noticed that the person who distributed the mineral water to the teammates was Zhou Yao, who had already been the main force in the team.

In other words, as a rookie, this is what he should have done.

Just because of his special relationship with Jordan.

Coupled with the fact that he has already entered the team, he has a brilliant performance.

It was the first time for Zhou Yao to do this kind of miscellaneous work.

Zhou Yao handed Jordan a bottle of water.

Jordan took it politely and took a sip...
