346. Rush to Boston

“Arrogance or confidence?”

Since the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics completed their promotion quickly, their second round of series was arranged by the league to be the first to go

When the first round of the series is about to end, the second round of the series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics was officially put on the agenda

Before this series began, the mouth cannon was first fired

"When Wu Dawei led his New Cleveland Cavaliers to eliminate the Miami Heat, we cannot deny that this is an excellent performance. Such an excellent performance will improve the Cleveland people's self-confidence, but now, we don't know whether Wu Dawei and the Cavaliers are confident or arrogant now!"

"Before this round of series, I went to Cleveland to interview Wu Dawei and the Cavaliers. But from the words of Wu Dawei, the core of the Cavaliers, I see not only their extremely strong confidence! There are also... some arrogance! They don't seem to really take the old powerhouse Boston Celtics to heart. Perhaps Wu Dawei and his Cavaliers teammates all believe that such an elderly basketball team composed of a group of old guys is nothing for their team that has just defeated the popular Miami Heat to win the championship! But past facts have proved that no one who has despised the Celtics will end up not being a good end."

This is a news on the front page of the Herald Sports that Mark Murphy, a reporter from the Boston Herald, published on May 8, before the first game of the second round of the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Suddenly, it caused an uproar! In the Boston area and even the entire Marseille states, this article aroused the positive response of Celtics fans. As a team with a long history, the Boston Celtics' influence in the entire Marseille states is unquestionable!

In an instant, the Celtics' second round opponent Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers became the target of public criticism!

"I respected him very much!"

Soon, Boston TV interviewed passers-by on the streets of the local area. Wu Dawei's view of the Boston Celtics. When facing the camera, a Boston Celtics fan said: "His performance this season and his past experience make him full of legend! It makes people feel that, wow~ Such a person must be very low-key and humble! And his performance in the first round is also very respectable, but I think it was the success of this series that made him feel a little complacent, right? That's why he said such unforgivable words! Tomorrow night, the Celtics will let him know who is the one who should be confident!"

"There is no doubt that the Celtics will run over the arrogant Clevelanders and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with their heads raised from their bodies! Our goal has always been the championship, so I don't think this series will last too long!" Another Boston fan interviewed was more confident about this series.

"The Celtics are in a very good state now, as good as in 2008! So I think the suspense of this round of series will not be too great!" This fan obviously came to this conclusion from the first round of the Celtics' series.

"The Cavaliers are indeed a team that people are underestimated, otherwise they would not be able to defeat the Miami Heat. I think the Cavaliers will cause us some difficulties, but I believe the Celtics can still pass this level and enter the Eastern Conference finals!" Of course, there are also more rational fans in Boston. Although Wu Dawei's arrogant attitude was revealed in the media, many people also understand that the media has always been a group of people who sniffed the ghost fire.

Wu Dawei didn't expect that things would eventually develop like this, but he knew that no matter how many explanations were made at this time, it would be in vain. Since things had already happened, we could only use practical actions to make people shut up.

After defeating the Miami Heat and entering the second round, Wu Dawei has already deeply understood this kind of thing. As long as you have a job in your hands, no matter how big you are, people will only say that you have strong self-confidence rather than like now. People just think that you are so proud of yourself.

After a few days of rest in Cleveland, the Cavaliers set off here and flew to a destination opposite to the previous one. Boston, the capital of Marseille states, had a poor record in the regular season. If the Cavaliers could continue to enter the next round, it would probably be difficult to get a home advantage. The only team behind the Cavaliers to enter the playoffs is the New York Knicks, and this giant team has been eliminated by the Bulls...

It can be said that the Cavaliers are the teams that are still fighting in the playoffs, with the worst record, but because of this, more people will look at them with curious gazes, because everyone wants to see how far such a team can go in this year's playoffs!

Wu Dawei naturally had no idea about such a question. He sat on the plane to Boston, and had only one thought in his mind, that is, to continue the Cleveland Cavaliers' habit of winning in the first round of the playoffs!

This season, the Cavaliers did not set any clear goals in the playoffs. Even after defeating the Miami Heat a few days ago, the team's senior management did not set any hard indicators for the players. In the view of team owner Daniel Gilbert, as long as they can defeat LeBron James and the Miami Heat, the Cavaliers will have exceeded the task this season!

In fact, Wu Dawei has no accurate goal for the next playoffs. He just thinks that taking one step is a step. Of course, being able to go further and further is of course a better result.

If there is a chance, who doesn't want to win the O'Brien Cup?

After crossing a mountain, what appeared in front of Wu Dawei was not the wonderful scenery of a flat mountain, but another mountain that looked more distant and unknown to win the championship, so it would be destined to not be smooth all the way on this road. However, if you can't even afford to make money, how can you win the championship?

Wu Dawei is actually not unfamiliar with the Boston Celtics. After all, this season, the Cavaliers and the Celtics have fought each other four times, and the two sides have won and lost 2:2. It seems that the two teams are in a balanced position, but as the outside world said, in one of the games when the Cavaliers won, the Celtics' main point guard Rajo Rondo was absent due to injury!

This is also one of the reasons why people look at the Cavaliers more towards this round of the series. Of course, the Cavaliers' playoff experience is far less than that of the Celtics composed of a group of old guys

However, Wu Dawei does not regard his team as bad as the outside world. Although Wu Dawei is not sure of winning this round of the series, he definitely has the determination to win.

No matter what others say, it is an indisputable fact that the Cavaliers and the Celtics tied 2:2 in the regular season. Is it true that Rajo Rondo would definitely lose in the Super Cavaliers in that game? Wu Dawei can also say that when the two sides competed in the previous few games, the Cavaliers did not have Chauncey Billups in the backcourt...

So in this kind of thing, it is all about the husband saying that the mother has the right reason. The people who support both sides have their own opinions. No one can convince anyone, and in the end they can only see the truth under their hands!

Whoever wins the game can truly speak loudly after the game is over!

The Cavaliers did not come to Boston early. They came to Boston the day before the game. Before that, they were all staying in Cleveland for training.

The Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat are obviously two completely different teams, but the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott does not intend to make a change to the team's starting lineup in the second round.

The Celtics, who owned Kevin Garnett Jermaine O'Neal and Shaquille O'Neal who was injured in the first round of the series, are obviously an excellent team in reality. At least compared with the Cavaliers' previous opponent, the Miami Heat, their inside line is undoubtedly much better than the Miami people.

So Chris Carman and Andre Varaijo's inside combination is still Byron Scott's number one choice, and it is undoubtedly the number three position. As the core player of the Cavaliers, Wu Dawei's current position in the team is unshakable. Moreover, in this round, Wu Dawei also bears a heavy responsibility. Paul Pierce will compete with him on the court for the remaining two defenders. Chauncey Billups is also the point guard that the Cavaliers cannot play at the moment, and Anthony Parker, as a defensive engineer, obviously plays a more important role. He will be with Ray Allen throughout the game as a shadow.

So judging from the situation where two teams encountered two completely different styles in these two rounds, the current combination of such a lineup of Cleveland Cavaliers is still very reasonable. At least they can still adapt to changes in the same way. There are no obvious shortcomings in the lineup, which is the biggest advantage.

As the first game to start in the second round, and it is also a contest between the veteran strong team Boston Celtics and the emerging team Cleveland Cavaliers. The first game of such a game naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Of course, the news that criticized Wu Dawei's arrogance before the game was not the focus of people's attention. At best, it was just some embellishments of this game. People pay more attention to it. The new and old confrontation between Wu Dawei and the old three giants is definitely the old confrontation between Wu Dawei and the old three.

Are the old guys giving Wu Dawei a warning to the young playoff rookie Wu Dawei on the court, or is Wu Dawei taking advantage of the hot momentum after winning the Heat?
