Irving in the fifth game has no change compared to before, making 6 of 21 shots.

Tatum finally scored more than 15 points, and Embiid also scored a 2015 performance.

But none of these can make the Celtics win, and Irving's downturn explains the reasons why the Celtics performed poorly.

The 76ers wing cluster can make the wings of any team in the East silent, and tonight it will just untickle Tatum.

For Irving, Wei Xia should still use the strategy of making any mistakes and then letting the wings repair the defense.

This twisted Celtic has more things to solve and deal with in the upcoming summer, and the contracts of Irving, Horford and others expire.

But seeing the fans of North Shore Garden citing the sign "You are not as good as Isaiah", Wei Xia was very doubtful whether Irving still had the intention to stay in Boston.

Celtic fans saw the downturn in Irving's field and the inefficiency in data, but couldn't see how much power the 76ers used to do this.

If fans don't like you, they will naturally not be considerate.

This is the same everywhere.

"I think you're playing pretty well." At the end of the game, Wei Xia shook hands with Owen, "Defense is not my job alone."

Irving glanced at the fans who wanted to boo him with disdain, "I would be thankful if they could think so!"

"Fans are just too realistic, and they don't always understand the game." As long as the person who is hurt is not himself, everyone can transform into a psychologist and a chicken soup master. "Learn this lesson and turn anger into motivation."

Owen expressed his gratitude to Wei Xia for her encouragement.

Wei Xia could see that he was determined to leave the Celtics. Boston fans didn't like him, and the coaching staff did not really regard him as the core. After losing, he was the target of everyone's crime. Although he did not play well, the Celtics suffered a crushing defeat in this case was definitely not a problem for one person.

“How does it feel to go back to the finals?”

Wei Xia had long thought of asking this question at the press conference.

"I'm very excited." Although it seems as calm as if nothing is wrong.

Kobe was asked more questions at the press conference.

With 12 consecutive wins in the playoffs, it is very likely that he will face the Los Angeles Lakers who have played for 20 years. What is his mood?

"No matter who I meet in the playoffs, I will do my own job." Kobe's answer was very official.

Now that the 76ers have finished their work, the only thing left is the suspense of whether the Lakers can eliminate the defending champion and enter the finals.

In the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals, Tianwang Mountain in the background of 2-2, it is a pure battle of talent supremacy.

Although James is 33 years old and Durant is 30 years old, their talents, namely combat power, are not comparable to anyone on the Warriors.

In this game, James scored 36 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, while Durant scored 44 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in 70% shooting percentage.

The performance of the two of them alone made the Warriors despair.

So much so that Paul's performance with 21 points and 6 assists all looked like an ordinary person.

To this day, the Warriors can still gather a five-star lineup, but their strength and combat power are obviously not as good as in the past three years.

With Curry and Wall signing super big contracts one after another, and next summer, Thompson and Green are facing renewal. With Gasol's already big contract, the Warriors who cannot afford 23 maximum salary will inevitably break up their existing lineup. (2 super big salary, 3 ordinary maximum salary)

By then, the Warriors, who have aging stars and lack talent, will basically fade out of the championship ranks.

Therefore, this season can be seen as their last attempt to win the championship.

In the fifth game, the three Lakers' Heavenly Kings performed like this and only beat the Warriors 6 points.

The Five-Star Warriors tried their best to avoid failure and eventually lost to the Lakers.

3 to 2

The Lakers are only one step away from the finals.

The whole league is waiting.

No, the whole world is waiting.

The 76ers' wait was longer. From defeating the Celtics, they were preparing for the battle, and the main imaginary enemy was the Lakers.

Since you have set the number one imaginary enemy, you will naturally focus on this opponent during training and prepare for the battle seriously.

The Warriors are also capable of playing to the finals, and the 76ers are very familiar with the Warriors.

They have played two difficult series games. The Warriors' current lineup is similar to 2016 and 2015, and their playing style has not changed. So if the Warriors really entered the game, although the 76ers have been training for several days in vain, they will not be too passive.

I used to fight, but now I will fight.

But the Lakers need to be taken seriously.

First of all, they have a theoretically unsolvable wing lineup.

James and Durant scored more than 80% in pick-and-roll between each other.

I hope they fail, but I can only rely on bad touch and mistakes.

Under the existing rules, it is almost impossible to defend against the pick-and-roll of Zhan Du.

The only problem is that Lakers coach Luke Walton, who studied under Steve Cole's egalitarianism, doesn't like to let stars use one tactic to kill their opponents throughout the whole process.

The shortcomings of the coaching staff are one point that 76ers can use.

When the 76ers were training, Siakam was asked to simulate Durant's playing style. To be honest, this was already very strange. What's even more strange is that the secret weapon Wright used to defend Durant was not Wei Xia, not Robertson or others on the wing line, but Zhou Qi.

"Zhou, you have to pretend that Pascal is KD, and you have to pretend that you are in real combat. For example, when he breaks through the emergency stop jump shot like KD, you have to force yourself to slow him down. Only in this way can you simulate the real effect!"

However, Wei Xia and others do not think that watching Siakam hit zombies and jump shots can simulate the real Durant.

It is understandable that Zhou Qi deliberately lags one step behind when defending one step or more, Durant's ability to hold the ball.

He currently weighs 103 kilograms, has a rare movement ability among seven feet long, and has a 233 cm arm length. If anyone of the 76ers can interfere with Durant's shooting head-on, this person can only defend Zhou Qi in front of Durant.

"No, he hasn't made any shots. KD's shooting cannot be so bad!" Cousins ​​said roughly and not roughly.

Wright smiled and said, "Why do you have to worry about these details?"

"Because KD really won't miss those balls." Kobe doesn't like such simulations either.

"Ok." Since that's the case, Wright can only fix the bug himself.

Siakam is the only one of the 76ers who can simulate Durant. Although Zhou Qi is known as Durant in Asia, his dribbling ability is not enough in the NBA.

Wright's way to fix the bug is to force his players to believe: "Whether Pascal's shot is in or not, we think he's in."

This method is very unrestrained, but useful.

So whenever Siakam scored a shot, his teammates would yell: "Good shot, kd!"

Siakam kept smiling awkwardly.

Zhou Qi and Siakam are the secret weapons of the 76ers against Durant.

Add to the already strong wing group, and use Wei Xia to deal with James. If everything goes well, they can limit the individual performance of Lakers stars to a certain extent.

The pick-and-roll of Zhandu is unsolvable, but in history, no team has won the championship by relying solely on an unsolvable position tactic.

On the day of the Western Conference Finals Game 6, the 76ers' training was carried out normally.

In the afternoon, after the training class, half of the people left and half remained.

They held a barbecue dinner at the Sunset Center, and those who attended, including Weisha and his wife, the Kobe family, and the families of Cousins ​​and Oubre.

Zhou Qi was there too, and he was forced to eat a lot of barbecue.

Cousins ​​motivated: "If you want to be stronger, you have to eat like this every day!"

Zhou Qi didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh dryly.

Everyone was eating barbecue while watching the game broadcast.

The Warriors looked passive, and James and Durant dominated the game strongly when they came up, leaving no chance to breathe for the Golden State.

When everyone saw Durant scored 24 points with a 90% shooting percentage in the first half.

Kobe looked at Zhou Qi in confusion: "Do we really want to hand over KD to him to defend?"

"The Lakers don't know cheese, maybe this will be a wonderful move," said Wei Xia.

Cousins ​​said disappointedly: "It may be a bad chess."

"It's a wonderful chess or a bad chess to get the answer until the game starts." Looking at the Lakers' fiercely abused Warriors, Wei Xia was sure of one thing. "We won't lose."

No one agreed with Wei Xia. Although his words were very exciting, the Lakers' strength was beyond doubt.

The combination of James and Durant is the configuration of the United States. Any of them can turn the strong teams in the east and west into championship contenders in one fell swoop. The two got together, and there was no problem of the conflict between the ball and the chemical reaction... Fans can't imagine how they would lose the final.

Wei Xia can imagine, and he is imagining.

"I don't think they are stronger than the Warriors in 2016." Kobe said his conclusion, "You could defeat the Warriors two years ago. Now the situation is much better than two years ago. Have some confidence in yourself, little kids!"

"that is!"

Cousins ​​squealed: "I don't see how they are better than us anyway!"
