Bai Qiang returned to the house with a sad face, slumped on the sofa and said nothing.
Mei Xiaoyan, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw her lover coming home, so she greeted her warmly and said:
"Aqiang, did your game go well today? Whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll make it for you!"
Mei Xiaoyan was busy and waited for a long time, but Bai Qiang didn't respond.
"What's wrong, Aqiang, what happened?"
Mei Xiaoyan put down what she was doing, walked into the living room, sat next to her lover, and asked with concern.
Bai Qiang is very reasonable and will rarely lose his temper with his girlfriend.
Even if Mei Xiaoyan did something wrong, he would choose to tolerate it.
Two young people living in a foreign country lived a very happy life.
But today Bai Qiang was a bit abnormal, which made Mei Xiaoyan become a monk with two feet.
"I don't know where to start. Anyway, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a difference in the playoffs."
Bai Qiang replied in a deep tone, he seemed to be involved in something big.
As a professional player, what could be more uncomfortable than not being able to play?
No!
Bai Qiang's happiness is to gallop on the battlefield and strive to "kill the enemy".
"What's going on? Is your old injury coming back, or something happened?"
Mei Xiaoyan began to examine Bai Qiang a little eagerly.
My lover, a professional athlete who loves basketball, can’t play anymore?
In other words, what happened to a big accident and you have to retire?
Bai Qiang shook his head and denied Mei Xiaoyan's series of questions.
"My competitive state is far worse than before. The coach has lost confidence in me. I'm afraid..."
Hearing this reply, Mei Xiaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief. It was a blessing in misfortune.
"Aqiang, if you are not in good condition, you can recover through intensive training. Don't be discouraged. I will always be by your side."
Behind a successful man, there is always a woman who is reasonable and understands right from wrong and silently supports him.
…
After four days of duel, the playoff matchup map has been revealed.
First match of play-offs:
The Celtics led by Tatum defeated the Wizards and rose to seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
The Lakers led by James almost defeated the Golden State Dynasty and moved to seventh place in the Western Conference.
Second round of play-offs:
Westbrook led the Wizards to a victory over the Pacers and fell into the playoffs with eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Stephen scored 39 points, but ultimately lost to the young Grizzlies and stopped in front of the playoffs.
The youth team led by Morant rose to eighth in the Western Conference and struggled to enter the playoffs.
NBA playoff matchup rules are:
The first place VS the eighth place, the second place VS the seventh place, the third place VS the sixth place, the fourth place and the fifth place compete.
A total of seven games will be played, and the first to win four games will advance to the second round.
As for the loser, of course he will go home to fish or take a nap.
The Nets' opponent is the Boston Celtics, and the core player is Tatum.
The Celtics were originally led by two stars, but Brown was seriously injured and unable to play for the team.
…
May 23, 2021.
The Barclays Center is filled with unprecedented excitement as the Nets will face the Celtics at home.
Media prediction: Brooklyn will lose at most one game in the first round.
The loss of this game was due to interference from many factors.
For the players, a four-nil sweep was the right choice.
Wouldn't it be nice to conserve your energy to face the next opponent?
Bai Qiang has been obsessed with the training hall in recent days, training like crazy.
If you want to become an immortal, you must first become a demon!
Destiny has always sought out cowards and dealt them cruel blows.
As the saying goes: The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and fate only bullies the poor!
Bai Qiang knew very well that if he bowed to God easily, he would have nothing.
The playoffs are the stage where players' abilities are tested, while the regular season tests the players' physical strength and teamwork.
But the playoffs are different. There is no team that does not desire the championship!
Just like there is no jackal, tiger or leopard who doesn't like delicious little sheep.
The players will also show off the various martial arts skills they have learned in the playoffs.
If you want to sign a high-paying contract, the playoffs are the best platform.
In the Nets locker room, Nash was doing pre-game encouragement.
"Guys, the playoffs are about to begin. This is no different from the regular season. The intensity of the competition will be very different. We need to be a hundred times more energetic and focus all our attention on the court just to defeat our opponents."
Durant and Irving are both players who wear championship rings, and they appear in the playoffs almost every year.
Therefore, their attitude towards the playoffs is no different from ordinary games.
Fluctuations in mentality will affect the performance of players, and a normal mind is the right way!
As for Harden, he has been criticized for missing the ball at critical moments!
He is a regular in the playoffs, but has never reached the finals.
This year is the most promising season for Harden to win the championship in his entire career.
In the Nets team, there were also a number of players sitting in front of the cabinets, chatting and laughing.
Such as James, DeAndre Jordan, Taylor... and other players who have no chance to play.
Since Griffin joined Brooklyn and Clarkston's comeback, Jordan has been completely hidden by Nash.
There is no playing time in the regular season, and even less chance in the playoffs.
Bai Qiang listened without saying a word, hoping that he would get a chance.
The gold-wrapped super system is still in vain, but Bai Qiang believes that hard work will pay off!
As game time approached, Brooklyn's soldiers ran onto the field one after another.
They were greeted by deafening cheers from the fans.
Fans firmly believe that the Nets will win the first championship trophy in team history.
The starting lineups sent by both sides were evenly matched on paper.
The Celtics point guard is Kemba Walker, a brilliant player.
Walker represented his country in the World Cup and performed reasonably well.
However, due to the lack of support from their teammates, the Chinese team only ranked eighth.
The shooting guard is Smart, who is known as the meat version of Curry.
His three-point shooting is good, defense is his specialty, and he has won DPOY.
The small forward position is occupied by Fournier, Brown is injured, and Stevens can only arrange this.
At power forward is Tatum, a Mamba disciple and a rising star in the league.
Tatum is an all-round player with basically no flaws in offense and defense.
The center is Tristan Thompson, a veteran of the Cavaliers and a former champion.
Thompson played 50 games for Boston this season, averaging 7.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.
The Nets' lineup has not changed much, with Ou Shenxian, Harden, Harris, Durant and Griffin.
Harris made his comeback in the playoffs, but his condition is unknown.
In the small gap before the game, Vaughn told Bai Qiang that Nash would not use him in this game.
Bai Qiang just sighed and said nothing.
If you are not allowed to play, you can only sit on the sidelines waving towels and serving tea and water!
