On May 30, 2008, there was only one hour left before 12 a.m. The victory and loss of the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals had been decided, and the team that advanced had the answer. The Los Angeles Clippers, the dark horse, was blacked out to the end. They first blacked the Spurs, then swept the Jazz, and now they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, the favorite to win the championship, entering the finals for the first time in history!

The promotion of the Los Angeles Clippers was not unexpected. They had this strength, but they rose up extremely quickly. Most American fans thought that they should have to wait a few seasons before they became the league protagonists. But unexpectedly, the Clippers successfully counterattacked in their first season, hoping to challenge the record of their team's legendary player.

This is like a civilian who is a man who is defeated by a rich and handsome man and a rich second generation in a few seconds. It is not true that he married a rich and beautiful woman. Even if everyone knows that this civilian is far more talented than a rich and handsome man and a rich second generation, everyone always thinks that this should not be the case. A bad team like the Clippers, including this year, has only entered the top four times in the playoffs. How could it be possible to eliminate the Purple Gold Noble?

In everyone's impression, the Clippers are not even considered civilians. The civilians refer to the team like the Pistons Five Tigers. The Clippers can only be considered as the ** silk in ** silk, referred to as ** Chinese!

After the Lakers lost their first away game, coach Feier Jackson was very dissatisfied with the current division finals used by the NBA. In the Zen Master's opinion, there are many unscientific aspects of the 2-3-2 schedule. After being eliminated, he complained about this game again: "In basketball games, morale is a very important part. But you should know that playing three games in a away game in a long time is a long time. It is difficult for you to maintain your morale."

Since the NBA changed the finals to 2-3-2 in the 1984-85 season, only two teams won three consecutive games at home. The two teams were the Pistons in 2004 and the Heat in 2006. Both teams eventually won the championship.

The opponent that the Pistons defeated in 2004 was the Lakers coached by Feier Jackson. Therefore, this experience left a deep impression on the Zen master.

"It's very difficult to maintain its state when playing three games away. The team I led lost three games in Detroit back then. I think that was the first time the home team won three games in a row at home. It's really difficult. I really hope to go back to the game system where I played two home games first. But it's obvious that the facts are no longer changing now, and I hope the league will pay attention to this matter next season."

Ji Guoxiong expressed his opinion on this after the game. The little fox said frankly: "I know many people look down on us and think that we should have been playing the team badly and we should not win the championship. There are also many people who still don't think that we two brothers have the potential to become superstars." As soon as the Dead Fox finished speaking, the reporters in the audience couldn't help but take a breath. They were all shocked by the fox's shocking remarks.

"Listen, this guy's tone is too big, right?" Many reporters subconsciously wanted to sarcastically after hearing Ji Guomeng's words. But after thinking about it carefully, this bastard brought a super bad team to the finals in his first season, and it was not too much to say this. There are not many people in the entire NBA history for nearly a hundred years. Those who can do it are not just superstars, but phenomenal stars who dominate an era.

When Ji Guomeng saw these reporters want to refute but lack confidence, he felt very happy. He was a little arrogant, but he never let go of the big talk before he achieved his wings, and he would not just yell like a fool like "punching the gorilla and kicking the little black snake" as soon as he entered the league. Those who often follow him can find that every time Ji Guomeng advances to a round, he will become arrogant with his achievements after achieving a certain degree of success. Therefore, although many people don't like his villain's appearance, it is undeniable that he is indeed qualified to say these words now.

"You think I am arrogant, and I also feel that I deserve a beating! But, you can recall how the media in that era evaluated him when the Magic led the team to the championship in his first season? So I think the problem has arisen again. Why do you think it's incredible to replace a yellow man with a big bad team like the Clippers?" Ji Guomeng said as he even became excited and shouted to the media with some disobedience: "I'm very happy today. I'm impatient to announce to the world again that we are the strongest team this year. We have an excellent coaching team, we have the strongest inside combination, we have the strongest point guard, we have the best defensive player, we have the best sixth man and a substitute, so we will be the champion!"

At the press conference after the Clippers advanced to the finals, Ji Guomo looked a little overly excited. This guy once again talked to media from all over the world, turning this press conference into his own one-man show. People who don’t know would think this was his exclusive interview. The Dead Fox is a typical McGrath!

In the end, even the senior executives of the league couldn't stand it anymore and quickly sent someone to take Ji Guomeng for a urine test because they suspected that the bastard who taught the reporter must have had excessive stimulants before the game, otherwise how could he be so excited?

On May 31, just after the "**Silk Turnover" was staged in the western city of Luo City, the east also ushered in a war between civilians and nobles, but this time the people who laughed the last time were no longer civilians.

Hamilton said in an interview before the game: "This battle cannot be missed. This is a battle that determines life and death. We have reached the edge of the cliff." The Mask Man said that, "The Celtics are 2-3 in total, and the Pistons have no way out. If you want to repeat the scene of annihilation of the Lakers in 2004, the first thing Auto City has to do is to win the game in Game 6.

Elton Brand also said before the game that although Rashid Wallace was suspended in this game, he would do his best to compete for the team for the chance to play the seventh game. At that time, the roaring Heavenly Master will return and their lineup will return to its best form. Of course, the old captain also expressed congratulations on the Clippers' promotion. He said: "Congratulations to the Clippers for defeating the Lakers. Although I am not there, this is what I have always wanted to do. I hope they can enter the finals, which will also become my motivation. I want to compete with my old guys in the finals."

However, Brand is destined to be disappointed. The Boston Celtics continued their good performance in the previous game in this game. Paul Pierce contributed 12 points in the last quarter, and he led the Celtics to a reversal in the last quarter. They defeated the Detroit Pistons 92:89.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics finally eliminated the Pistons with a total score of 4-2 to advance to the finals. They will compete with the Los Angeles Clippers for the championship. After 21 years, the giants with the most championships have finally returned to the finals. However, it was not the old enemy Lakers who fought with them, but the ** Silk Clippers who had just usurped the throne!

Espn commented on the game the next day with the title "The Pistons coach once again proved his incompetence and his slow response".

In the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics, who played at home, withstood the pressure and defeated the strong rival Detroit Pistons 92-89, winning the final victory. After this game, the Celtics eliminated the Pistons who entered the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive times with a total score of 4-2, and re-entered the finals after 21 years.

Generally speaking, NBA coaches may also study new tactics in the regular season, and in the playoffs where they dare not blink their eyelids casually, they often use the safest and most commonly used tactics. So when Jeff Van Gundy used Tracy McGrady to defend Dirk Nowitzki, the method of making a magical comedy. However, the game is a stage for both coaches to fight wits, and the rapid response to the situation on the court is also a lesson that the coach must do. Unfortunately, Philip Sanders is not very qualified in this regard.

Previously, in the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sanders proved his incompetence in on-the-spot command for seven consecutive years but in the first round of the playoffs. In this round of the series, he once again revealed his characteristics of "will not coach if he enters the playoffs."

In this round of series, in addition to the star's regular attacks on the bombing, the two top teams in the league also emerged with some well-performing role players. The two led the two are naturally Jason Mark Hill of the Pistons, Kendrick Perkins of the Celtics and first-year rookie Al Thorton.

Against the backdrop of Rivers' quick reaction, Sanders's slowness became more and more outrageous. In 6 games, Kevin Garnett averaged 22 points, 13.25 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. This data has shown that kg is unsolvable for the Pistons. Since that is the case, the Pistons who lost the Roaring Heavenly Lord in the sixth game should not be hung on the tree of kg. Anyway, there is only the old captain, kg must not be restricted to death. Then the Pistons should disperse the defensive intensity to other Celtic players, just like Old Dunleavy did when he played against the Lakers.

However, Sanders did not do so. He insisted on defending Garnett, trying to complete impossible tasks.

This can only be said that wishes are beautiful, reality is cruel, and the stubborn ending is: Garnett made 11 of 18 shots in the last game and scored 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists. At the same time, Perkins, who was busy picking up the bargain, also leaned against the big tree to enjoy the cool off, and scored another big double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds on 7 of 10 shots.

Let’s look at the Pistons, who were both hands, were beaten to lose sight of each other. They made 7 mistakes in the third quarter and 15 mistakes in the whole game. You should know that they had only averaged 10 mistakes in the playoffs before.

In the era of the "Bad Boys" of the Pistons, the "Jordan Law" was invented in order to limit Michael Jordan, that is, to defend Jordan with regular strength, and at the same time cut off his contact with his teammates with high intensity. This method cooperated with the ruthless methods of Rick, Ma Hong and others, and indeed suppressed the Flying Emperor for a long time. But now, why didn't the Pistons, who fought against the water, learn the "Garnett Law" from their predecessors?

In the next finals, the Clippers might as well learn from the Pistons' lessons. If the Big Three wants to limit them all, this is almost an impossible task. So, the focus is on guard against which one and put that one appropriately. Old Dunleavy should plan early now to avoid repeating the Pistons' mistakes.

On the last day of May 2008, the two teams that finally advanced from the east and west had already been decided, and the two teams that finally entered the finals were the Los Angeles Clippers in the west and the Boston Celtics in the east.

On June 1, the schedules of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Boston Celtics were released. The finals will be the same as those in the division finals, with a 2-3-2 match system that both the home team and the away team feel unfair. The Celtics have a home advantage with their regular season record. The first two games of the finals will be played in Boston.

The first game - June 3rd at 19:00 Celtic home game

Game 2 - June 05 19:30 Celtic home court

Game 3 - June 07 19:30 Home Clippers

Game 4 - June 9 20:00 Home Clippers

Game 5 - June 11 to be decided, the Clippers' home court

Game 6 - June 13 to be decided, Celtics' home court

Game 7 - June 15th to be decided, Celtics' home court

After the Lakers were eliminated, the Los Angeles Times immediately turned the gun and became a supporter of the Clippers, which made many Asian fans feel disgusted. In particular, most domestic fans are now fans of the Clippers and Rockets. Naturally, they particularly hate the Los Angeles Times, who is against the Clippers. That big fool honestly slandered the twin brothers, and they hate it very much.

But when the Clippers faced the Celtics, the Los Angeles Times made a very difficult choice for them in line with the reality that there would be no news to report if the Celtics did not report it. The relatives and media in Los Angeles finally chose to favor the Clippers among their "old enemies" and "dead enemies". After all, the latter has been bullied for decades, and the hatred with the Lakers is not as deep as the Celtics.

After the schedule was released, Da Bendan advised the Clippers against his conscience. He believed that some ways the Pistons could be learned from the Clippers. For example, the Celtics encountered the Pistons' almost crazy defense in Game 4. The Big Three made 11 of 38 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%. The Pistons made a move on defense and blocked the penalty area with all their might. Even if the foul was not given the Celtics' chance to score at the basket. At the same time, the Pistons made 32 fouls in the fourth game, which was 11 more fouls than they averaged in the first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals. This defensive strategy of killing enemies with one thousand and losing 800 on their own made the Celtics in a mess. The basketball was unable to send to the basket. The team only had 12 assists, most of the shooting was completed outside the penalty area, and the shooting percentage was only 31.8%. The Pistons' hungry wolf defense made the Celtics complain.
