Chapter 144
Compared with the regular season, although the playoffs are more intense, the schedule is not as frequent as the regular season. The Blazers' next game will not be played until April 4, and it will still be at the Rose Garden Arena.For losing the first game, Ye Feng felt very unhappy, but after all the games of the day were over, he was surprised, because except for the Cavaliers' 21-102 victory over the Pistons, the other three games were ranked higher All the teams lost.The Celtics lost 84 to 103 to the Bulls, and the Spurs lost to the Mavericks 105 to 97. In addition to the Trail Blazers, there are actually three teams that have suffered defeats. This is not a good sign.
The second day also had four games. This time, only one game had an embarrassing situation. The 76ers, the sixth in the Eastern Conference, narrowly defeated the third-ranked Magic 100-98, becoming the fourth team in the playoffs to go to the next game. team.In the other three games, the Eagles beat the Heat 90-64, the Nuggets beat the Hornets 113-84, and the Lakers beat the Jazz 113-100.There were only two games on the third day. The Spurs and Celtics, who had lost the first game, finally regained face. The former defeated the Mavericks 105 to 84, and the latter narrowly beat the Bulls 118 to 115. This virtually put a lot of pressure on the Blazers , forcing them to do their best to win.
In fact, the Trail Blazers team has not been idle in these two days. McMillan specially invited his good friend back then and the famous point guard "Glove" Payton in the history of the league to give these little guys Take a training session.Payton is not a simple role. He has been selected to the best defensive team for nine consecutive seasons, and has also won the steals king and the best defensive player. His nickname of "glove" comes from his strong defensive ability.In addition, Payton's temper is also well known. He usually has a bad temper, and he dared to scold Jordan in his peak face to face. He is also a hot-tempered person.
McMillan's arrangement made the players suffer, especially Ye Feng and Roy, who were repaired by Artest and Battier during the game, were "destroyed" by him. too much.Payton is a well-known trash talker in the history of the league. Even after retiring, he did not lose his "magnificence" back then.As he kept walking around the players, he scolded at the top of his voice: "I watched your first playoff game. To be honest, I'm curious how you won 54 wins. Did Nate give it to you?" What kind of weird hormones were given..."
McMillan's face darkened: Although Nima is an old teammate, is it really appropriate for you to slander me in front of me?Payton ignored his murderous eyes, and continued: "The playoffs are a battle of life and death. In the regular season, you can selectively give up a few games due to overwork or a more favorable ranking, but the playoffs No, every playoff game requires you to work hard. After a series, you can either go forward or go home. Just like your first game, I really don’t know why Nate will report this to you The big hope is that when you were in the Sonics, you rookies should have been pushed on the bench to watch how the veterans play."
However, Payton's complaints are all complaints, and he has exhausted his thoughts on the players under his old teammates.It wasn't long before the second game started, and he didn't intend to put all the methods he knew into the minds of the Blazers players. He only picked the most important and most needed ones.Everyone also automatically blocked the old guy's complaints anytime and anywhere, just for those tricks that would make him perform better in the second game.I have to say that Payton is indeed an old monster. In 17 seasons, 1335 regular season games, and 154 playoff games, the five starters of the Blazers did not add up to his fraction, which means that McMillan had a close relationship with him in Seattle. Only in order to dig out such a great god, let me mention a few words to them at this time.
Although Payton's trash talk is everywhere, the Blazers players listened carefully, for the simple reason that the first game was a shame for them.Don’t say that the Spurs and the Celtics had the same experience that day. Pushing yourself and others is the most unreliable thing in the NBA. If you lose, you lose. The fourth in the Western Conference lost to the fifth in the Western Conference. It seems nothing. It's only a win gap, but it's actually very embarrassing.Everyone felt ashamed of the slogans and songs of the home fans, and they scuffled on the court over and over again against Payton's spittle.
That's right, it's just a scuffle. Physical confrontation is an understatement. In Peyton's eyes, the playoffs are a meat grinder, and the finals are the 2.0 version of the meat grinder. Basically, there is nothing tough about it. Can't beat the opponent.Why were the two teams, the Heat and the Knicks, afraid that everyone would not stop until the playoffs?Because they dare to fight tough battles, any random player in the team is a burly guy who is as hard as a rock.Although it is no longer the era when iron and blood were king, this kind of toughness will not become obsolete, especially in the playoffs.
Ye Feng listened most carefully, there was no way he could not listen carefully to Peyton's lecture.Artest himself is a hot-tempered wing who highly respects physical confrontation. Thinking of the ribs hit in the first playoffs here, he still feels a little pain.Since the "Auburn Hills Palace incident" that year, Artest has put all his tyranny on the court. Although he will still stare at his eyes as if he wants to fight when he disagrees, he is more willing to defend Duan saw that the other party was in pain, and Ye Feng was the latest victim.If you want to fight against such a guy, you have to be tougher than him.
Everyone is a bloody young man. It is a shame for them to lose the first game without McGrady, and such a shame can only be washed away with victory.It's okay to lose a home game, there are still six games to come, maybe not even six games, who can stay and continue the journey, who can only go home and prepare for vacation, it will be decided soon, Ye Feng certainly doesn't want to It's the latter, and no one in the team wants to be the latter.Although it's not time to fight back, who can say for sure?The so-called one bang, then decline again, three times exhausted, that breath still stubbornly stays in the chest cavity and refuses to dissipate.
If this is the case, let him be turned upside down!
