Hamilton said in an interview before the game, "This is a decisive battle, and we have reached the edge of the cliff." This is true. The total score is 2-3 behind the Celtics, and the Pistons have no way out. If you want to repeat the scene of annihilating the Lakers for four years, the first thing Motown should do is to win the game in the sixth.

Elton Brand also said before the game that although Rasheed Wallace was suspended for the last game, he would try his best to compete for the seventh game, and then the roaring Buddha would return and their formation would return to its best state. Of course, the old captain also congratulated the Clippers on their promotion. He said, "Congratulations on beating the Lakers, although I am not there, but this is what I have always wanted to do. I hope they can make it to the finals, which will also be my motivation. I want to compete with my old buddies in the finals."
However, Brand was doomed to be disappointed. The Boston Celtics continued their previous good performance. Paul Pierce contributed 12 points in the last quarter. He led the Celtics to make a reversal in the last quarter. They beat the Detroit Pistons 929.
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics eliminated the Pistons by a total score of 42, and advanced to the finals. They competed for the championship with the Los Angeles Clippers. After 21 years, this giant with the most championships finally returned to the finals hall, but it was not the old rival Lakers who fought with them, but the Clippers who had just usurped the throne!
On the second day, espn commented on the game with the title "Pistons coach once again proved that his slow response was outrageous"
In the sixth game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Boston Celtics withstood the pressure and defeated the Detroit Pistons to win the decisive battle. After this game, the Celtics scored 42 points and the total score was eliminated for six consecutive times. The Pistons re-entered the finals after 21 years.
Generally speaking, nba coaches may study a new type of tactics in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the safest and most common tactics are often adopted. At that time, Jeff Van Gundy Tracy mcgrady’s defense of Dirk Nowitzki was a stroke of genius. However, the game was a game of wits between coaches of both sides, and the coach had to do his homework. Unfortunately, Philip Sanders was not qualified in this respect.
Saunders, the Timberwolves in Nisuta, had failed to pass the first round of the playoffs for seven years in a row, proving that he was able to conduct the matches on the spot. He once again revealed his doubt that he would not coach if he entered the playoffs.
In the round robin competition, the top two league teams have also emerged some well-behaved roles in addition to the regular attack of star-to-star bombing. The first two players are naturally Pistons Jason Maxwell, Celtics kendrick Perkins and first-year rookie Al Thornton.
In Rivers’ quick response, Saunders’ dullness became more and more outrageous. Kevin Garter averaged 22 points, 1325 rebounds, 35 assists and 15 blocks in six games. This data has shown that kg is a problem for the Pistons. In this case, if you lose your roar in the sixth game, the Pistons should not hang from the tree of kg. Anyway, there must be an old captain. kg must be restricted to death, so the Pistons should spread the defensive strength to other Celtic players, just like Deng Liwei did against the Lakers.
But Sanders didn’t do this. He insisted that Gatt, the main defense, tried to complete the impossible.
It can be said that the wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel and stubborn, and the ending is that Gatt got 2 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists on 11 shots in the last game, and at the same time, Perkins also leaned back against the tree to enjoy the cool, and got 16 points, 1 rebound and large double doubles on 7 shots.
Let’s look at the fact that both hands are not hard. The Pistons have been beaten, and there have been 7 turnovers in the third quarter, and there have been 15 turnovers. You know, they only averaged one turnovers in the playoffs before.
In the era of the "bad little army" of the Pistons, the "Jordan Law" was issued to limit Michael Jordan, that is, defending Jordan with conventional strength and cutting off his teammates with high strength. This means, together with the vicious means of Rick Mahone and others, really suppressed the flying emperor for a long time. But now why doesn’t the last stand Pistons learn from their predecessors the "Gatt Law"?
In the coming finals, the Clippers might as well learn a lesson from the Pistons. If the Big Three want to limit it, it is almost impossible to complete. The key point is to prevent which old Deng Liwei should be put properly. Now, it is necessary to plan ahead early and repeat the mistakes of the Pistons.
On the last day of May, 2002, the two teams in the East and the West have decided to enter the finals. The two teams are the Los Angeles Clippers in the west and the Boston Celtics in the east.
On June 1st, the schedule of the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics was released, and the finals will be implemented just like the regional finals, which makes both the home team and the visiting team feel unfair. The 2-3-2 green shirts won the home court advantage with their regular season record. The first two games of the finals will be held in Boston.
The first game-June 3, 19: Celtic home.
Game 2-Celtic home at 19:3 on June 5.
Game 3-Clippers home at 19:3 on June 7.
Game 4-June 9th 2: Clippers Home
Game 5-The Clippers’ home court is to be decided on June 11th.
Game 6-The Celtics’ home game is to be decided on June 13th.
Game 7-The Celtics’ home game is to be decided on June 15th.
After the Lakers were eliminated, the Los Angeles Times immediately turned the gun and became a Clippers supporter, which made many Asian fans feel sick, especially Chinese fans. Now most of them are Clippers and Rockets fans. Naturally, they especially hate the old and Clippers, and they really hate the Los Angeles Times’ stupid twin brothers.
However, when the Clippers faced the Celtics, the Los Angeles Times made a very difficult choice for them. The media finally chose to favor the Clippers among the "old enemies" and "deadly enemies". After all, the latter has been bullied for decades, and the hatred of the Lakers is not as deep as that of the Celtics.
After the schedule was released, Dadan made suggestions without conscience. He believed that some ways for the Pistons to deal with the Celtics could be used for reference by the Clippers. For example, in Game 4, the Celtics suffered from the Pistons’ almost crazy defense. The Big Three made 11 shots in total, and the hit rate was less than 3%. The Pistons tried their best to block the restricted area, and even if they fouled, they didn’t give the Celtics a chance to score basketball. At the same time, the Pistons fouled 32 times in the fourth squadron, 11 times more than they fouled in the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals The defensive strategy of self-destruction made the Celtics throw themselves into the basketball team. There were 12 assists, and most of the shots were made outside the penalty area. The shooting percentage was 31%, and the pistons were hungry, which made the Celtics complain.
The Clippers can’t be inferior to the Pistons in defense, and it may get unexpected results to deal with the Celtics Clippers.
Chapter three hundred and twenty upstarts and giants
On June 2, 2002, the Canadian Basketball Association informed the two brothers that the losing match of the Beijing Olympic Games would be on June 25. Two Canadian opponents had drawn the first match, and Canada would play against Nigeria, the third place in the African Championship, and the second match against South Korea, the third place in the Asian Championship.
According to the rules of the unsuccessful competition, Canada can directly get a ticket for the Beijing Olympic Games if it beats these two opponents. If it loses one of them, it will be played in the loser group play-offs, and if it loses two games, it will be eliminated directly.
Africa, Nigeria and Asia, South Korea are not strong teams. Even if Canada doesn’t send two brothers and Nash, there is no small chance to beat its opponents. It will be easy for Canada to enter the Olympic Games even if they play half a game. There is no suspense that Canada will participate in this year’s Olympic Games.
On the same day, Charles Buckley wrote for N, "Many people think that Kobe Bryant, a new mvp, will eventually reach the finals this year. It is true that Kobe Bryant is unstoppable and Phil Jackson is also resourceful. It is even more frightening for the Lakers to average 145 points in the playoffs, but it is not them who finally reached the finals in the West. Although this is a team from Los Angeles with four star players, the competitiveness and strength of this once-bad team are greatly underestimated. Even I didn’t expect them to come this far.
It is rare in history that the Clippers can reach the finals in the first year after the core of the team has undergone a drastic change. I am afraid that the Lakers will win the championship immediately when they choose the magician.
The Clippers’ opponents were the Boston Celtics. Although they stumbled and won an away game in the playoffs last summer, they eliminated the steady and old pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, which fully demonstrated their strength. Paul Pierce Ray Allen and Kevin Gatt did not have worrying ball distribution problems, but they took on their respective roles very tacitly. From the perspective of team anger and player composition, the Celtics are in the best state this season.
Although there have been concerns that Gatt can’t handle the twin brothers, the beast may restrain the truth, Billups may blow up young Rondo Posey and Garcia, which may keep Ray Allen in the doldrums … On the other hand, should the Clippers worry about whether a twin can come out to contain Gatt while the Green Shirts are worried about so many troubles? Will Artest be turned against by Pierce again? What should Ray Allen do if he saves enough people to break out in the finals?
As we all know, Gart and Pierce have never been selfish players. When they create opportunities, who in the Clippers can defend Allen? All three players in Boston are capable of scoring points by themselves, and their personal style will double the threat in attack.
In addition to being strong in offense, the most reliable weapon for the Celtics is their defense. This year, they are ranked first in the league defense list. On the defensive end, the Celtics are not obviously weak. In the game with them, it is often difficult for opponents to get easy jump shots or basket running opportunities. The only possibility for the Clippers is to strengthen their long-range attack efficiency, but even so, the Celtics have the efficiency of holding their opponents down by 316%.
Former Rockets coach now explains on espn that Van Gundy believes that the Clippers can beat the Celtics in Game 6 or 7 and that the twin brotherhood is the key to establishing the Clippers Dynasty.
"The Clippers will definitely beat the same excellent Celtics this year. They have already had the best defense and honed their offense in the playoffs, and now they have excellent twin brothers. I believe that the Clippers can win the final championship and these two little guys are also the strongest contenders for the finals mvp. This will be a great battle. This series will definitely be very eye-catching."
Nba official website announced before the finals that the audience rating of the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals exceeded 122, and it is expected that the audience rating of the finals will surpass the Bull Dynasty to set a new record!

In a blink of an eye, it has reached the third day of the game, and both teams have rested for three days. It is not easy to say that the Celtics have recovered, but most of the Clippers players are already alive and kicking. They are younger than the Celtics, and their recovery ability accounts for a big advantage.
The Clippers arrived in Boston the day before and rented a university arena for a simple recovery training. In the last tactical lesson, Deng Liwei Sr. and the coaching staff explained the key policies for dealing with the Celtics.
At noon on June 3, the two teams came to the stadium to hold a pre-match press conference.
Ji Guo shame this guy is arrogant after entering the finals and can’t be called a snot.
However, many media expected that this king egg was actually low-key before the finals.
But don’t, it’s a makeover. Fox is so cunning that he is arrogant before the game. If he loses, won’t he be hit in the face?
The arrogance of others is to eliminate the Lakers from the finals and immediately stop making offensive remarks when they come to Boston. The Celtics’ home record is inversely proportional to their away record. It is not easy to beat the Celtics in Boston, but it is even more difficult than playing the Lakers away. He thinks it is time to lay low and save people.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter from Los Angeles asked Fox how you feel now that the finals are coming.
Ji Guoshi humbly replied, "I feel very good and excited. You know this is the first time I have had such an opportunity for the finals. I hope it will come soon and I hope I can do well. I can’t wait for it for a long time."
Then the Boston reporter also asked Ji Guo shame, do you know anything about your last opponent, the Celtics? What kind of team do you think they are?
Ji Guoshi continued to keep a low profile and said, "They are a great team with a long history and glory. It is of course great to meet such a great team in the finals in the past. Besides, they are very passionate and their defense is quite good. In addition, they have three excellent star players and a group of experienced veterans and rookies."
The Boston reporter looked at his colleagues in Los Angeles. Is this what they call arrogance, laziness, mental derangement … a disgrace to the country? Doesn’t look like it? This kid has a good tutor!
The Los Angeles media also wondered if this kid remembered to take medicine when he went out today.
A reporter from Boston Globe, the largest local media in Boston, asked Ji Guosheng the last question. A rookie, you and your brother deserve applause for their performance in the playoffs. Since you know something about the Celtics, you will know that if you play against you today, it will be the strongest scorer of the Celtics. Kevin Gatt, do you think you can defend him one-on-one? How will you guard against him?
Ji Guo sneered at a low profile, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t have confidence and didn’t even think about it. He replied, "Of course I have confidence. If I didn’t have confidence, the coach wouldn’t send me to the game. I will follow him closely and try not to leave him too much to start. He is a very capable player and has a good ability to break through the box. If he is not careful, he may leave me behind. I will always concentrate on staying with him throughout the game."
The reporter in Los Angeles found that the fox was particularly cunning today, and some reporters were malicious. Today, the reporter did not believe in evil, leaving Chou He and Deng Liwei, the country of Ji, no matter whether it was difficult or not. So another reporter asked the fox, "Today, against Celtic, your opponent is Kevin Garter, while the opponent of the Clippers in the Western Conference finals is Kobe Bryant. They are both team leaders. So in your opinion, is there any difference between them in the game?"
Ji was ashamed to know this question with a snort of malice. He found out that this reporter had not shot Dasabi for a long time. This new york Times guy is different from L.A. Times Dadan. This idiot is quite insidious. His questions are full of traps every time. Ji was ashamed to think and replied, "I don’t know. They are all great players. They can break through, shoot and create opportunities for their teammates. They are all good leaders. Well, by the way, Kobe is mvp Gatt and the best defender."
The words of the dead fox made Taiwan burst into laughter. Media reporters all over the world were amused by Ji Guo’s shame and wit. Can Dasabi sit still?
Fox can’t even stab him in the back with a knife. Finally, no one gives him a hard time.
Old Deng Liwei and Ji Guoqiu looked at each other. Good feelings. Today, it’s the dead fox’s one-man show. This king egg occupies the microphone every day. It’s too stealing the limelight!
