Chapter 1470 Eastern Finals, Fight the Celtics Again

Boston.

In the Celtics training arena, the players were talking while training, and the focus of the discussion was the Nets.

"I didn't expect the Nets to kill the Bucks. It was incredible in the last few tenths of a second. He did it."

"He is Meng Yun."

"Yeah, he's Meng Yun, it's not surprising that he did this."

The tiebreaker, the zero-second lore, is not only talked about by fans, but also by many players. Even if the Celtics players and the Nets are opponents, they have to admire it. Meng Yun Convinced by his strength.

Durant and Irving are also talking.

But what the two are talking about is not the tiebreaker between the Heat and the Bucks, but the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals.

"It seems that our estimation of the strength of the Nets is still wrong." Irving said: "Their strength is still very strong."

"Well." Durant nodded, "Although he doesn't want to admit it, Meng Yun is indeed one of the strongest players in the league today, comparable to LeBron, and it's no surprise that he can beat the Bucks with the Nets .But I have confidence in us that we will win this time."

Owen laughed: "We will definitely win. Although Meng Yun is strong, the Nets are not strong enough, and we are much stronger than last season."

Durant laughed too.

This is their confidence. They were very unwilling to lose to the Heat last season. It is true that the Heat are strong, but they were not in their best form at that time. After all, Durant just joined, Irving and Brown, Tatu There are also some contradictions between Tom and the others. Brown and Tatum are still thinking about the top position, they are not mature enough, and their strength is not as strong as this season.

But this season is different.

This season their Celtics are stronger, and the strength of the Nets is actually not as good as last season's Heat, so they are very confident.

At the end of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the second round of the Western Conference playoffs has also ended. In the end, the Lakers and Clippers advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and the two teams will compete.

The Lakers have James, Davis, and George, and the Clippers have Leonard and Butler. There is some gap between the two sides in terms of star lineup, but the problem of the Lakers is well known. The role players are not strong enough. ship's.

So the two sides may not have to fight this series.

James was with his teammates and talked about Meng Yun and the Nets: "In fact, the Celtics are the strongest in the East. Although the Nets defeated the Bucks, they are probably not the opponents of the Celtics."

"I think so too, the Nets' lineup is still a bit worse."

"It's a pity Meng Yun, if the teammates around him are stronger."

James didn't say much, but he is not optimistic about the Nets, but he is a little regretful. He hopes to meet Meng Yun in the finals. It seems difficult now.

In fact, the biggest regret is not being able to play with Meng Yun on the same team. James really hopes to be able to do this. It is possible to trade George for Davis, but this is obviously unlikely.

At their level, it is impossible to join forces, otherwise, no matter how other teams play, it is simply useless.

Entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the Eastern Conference finals have officially kicked off.

Boston, TD North Shore Garden Arena.

The game has already started, and the Celtics have Daniel Theis, Durant, Tatum, Hayward, and Irving, which can be regarded as a lineup of one big and four small.

With the Celtics' lineup, they don't need to rely on defense to win, they just need to play the offense that should be enough.It is also at this point, so their starting lineup has always used "one big and four small" to strengthen the offensive and defensive rhythm and improve offensive efficiency.

I saw that Irving came to the frontcourt with the ball and wanted a pick-and-roll, then broke through and passed the ball to Tatum.

Then Durant also took a shot and hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. Irving didn't make many shots by himself, but he made a lot of breakthroughs.

Whoosh!
Irving scored again and passed it to Hayward. After Hayward got the ball, he made a three-pointer and the basketball was hit steadily.

"This attack is too sharp."

"Yeah, the pace is too fast, the Nets can't form an effective defense, double-team, one-on-one, but they can't defend the opponent."

"This can only be an attack versus an attack."

The Celtics' offense is very sharp, there are many players who can score, and the individual abilities of the players are very good. Irving, Durant, Tatum, and Hayward all have strong scoring abilities, and they can all break through. Can tear apart the Nets' defense.

In order not to let the Nets use the overall defensive line to fall on them, the Celtics' offense is very fast, with an average of no more than 3 transfers of the ball per offense. The style of play is somewhat similar, but the lethality is stronger than that of the Warriors.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Nets to form an effective defense. After all, the opponent's players' personal abilities are too strong, and there will always be omissions.

Therefore, it is impossible to restrain the Celtics by defense. The Nets do not have that level of defensive ability and can only rely on offense.

However, this is also not a good way.

"beep"

Coach Atkinson asked for a timeout. He frowned, his face was serious, and he thought for a while before saying, "We need to play more flexibly and have more people score."

The crowd nodded.

This is actually not a solution, and coach Atkinson has no good solution. The situation is that the Celtics' single scoring ability is too strong, and the Nets do not have that kind of super defensive ability, so there is no way to rely on defense to limit it. Celtic.

So the two sides can only compare offense.

However, with the Nets lineup, they can't compare to the Celtics in terms of offense. Meng Yun is strong enough, but other players are not as good as the Celtics.

The defense is not good, the offense is not good, what else can be done?
Coach Atkinson looked at Meng Yun and smiled wryly. Maybe he could only rely on Meng Yun like he did when he played against the Bucks.

The pause ends soon.

The two sides returned to the field, Meng Yun frequently broke through, tore apart the opponent's defense, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball to his teammates to create opportunities for his teammates.

The Nets are not bad at the offensive end. Harris, Anthony and others all scored goals, but just after scoring here, the Celtics can immediately return the color when they turn around. After all, the team's scoring efficiency still can't keep up with the Celtics.
