237. Advance to the Eastern Conference Finals

"Sadly, we lost this series and ended up in the semi-finals."

"As the head coach, I can't help but blame it. It's my reason that the team missed the championship for two consecutive years."

"The Heat are a very good team, and Miami is also a beloved city. I love it very much, but unfortunately, I failed to bring a championship trophy to the team."

"I don't know what next year will be like, and I don't even know what tomorrow will be like, but I know that the Wizards are excellent, and we are also excellent." Spoo said with a sad look at the post-match press conference.

As Spoo finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were obviously a little restless.

Although Spoo did not say it clearly, the meaning of his words was very obvious, which was to bear all the Heat's losses for two consecutive years on himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, Spoel may have to part ways with the Heat this summer.

No matter whose fault is it, some people will definitely stand up and take the blame, and some people will definitely be pushed out to give an explanation to the fans.

And when Spore took the initiative to take responsibility for himself, this undoubtedly reduced the public opinion pressure that the three giants needed to encounter.

“Eric is an excellent basketball coach. He will teach players a lot in private and give new players a lot of exercise opportunities.”

"Everyone has reasons for the team losing, including myself. The loss of the game will make everyone reflect on each other. I believe that the team will definitely get better next year." After Spoil, LeBron James, the star of the head, shook his head and said.

…………………

"The Heat are a team worthy of praise, they are excellent, both players and coaches, but they lack some luck."

"As an opponent, I'm honored to be able to play against this team, but that's what it means to competitive sports, and no one knows what will happen in the future."

"And all I can do is lead the team to play every game well and strive to get the Wizards to go further from the playoffs." In the face of reporters' questions, Yang Fan also praised the Heat.

During the game, the two teams were competitors, but after the game, both teams were just a group of dream chasers.

…………………

As the Wizards defeated the Heat and entered the Eastern Conference Final successfully, another opponent in the Eastern Conference Final, the Hawks had long stood out.

This season, the Hawks scored fourth in the regular season, which led to the Hawks having to fight with the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.

In the end, the two teams fought in high-intensity matches in seven consecutive games. The Hawks passed the 37 points in a single game in the tiebreak battle and successfully entered the semi-finals stage.

In the semi-finals, the Hawks' opponent should be the Bulls who scored the first record in the Eastern Conference.

However, since Derek Ross was reimbursed for the season at the end of the regular season, the Bulls were finished with a black eight by 76ers in the first round and were eliminated with a total score of 2:4.

Although Chicago fans are very unwilling to be the incident of the fact that the team was eliminated by the Hack Eight, this is the case with competitive sports. No one knows which one will come first tomorrow or accident.

With the 76ers reaching the semifinals, this is obviously a cheaper Hawks, because with all the Hawks being healthy, the 76ers are no match at all.

In the end, the Hawks eliminated 76ers in just four games, locked in the Eastern Conference Finals in advance, and then sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, just waiting for the winner between the Heat and the Wizards.

With the Wizards standing out now, the two teams that will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals will naturally be confirmed.

However, the Wizards played two more games than the Hawks in the semi-finals, so in terms of time, the Hawks had a clear advantage.

What's more, the Hawks were originally the team that Yang Fan didn't want to meet in the East.

Because the Hawks are also a team-oriented team, and the team is balanced in offense and defense, both inside and outside, and there are no obvious flaws on both ends of offense and defense, it is definitely a relatively difficult bone to crack.

At least in Yang Fan's eyes, teams like the Hawks are much more difficult to deal with than the Heat.

Especially when the Hawks have Joe Johnson on the offense this season, Josh Smith on the defense, and Horford and Zaza Pachulia on the inside, it is difficult for the Wizards to play too obvious advantages.

It is worth mentioning that McGrady played for the Hawks this season, but while averaging 16 minutes per game, McGrady could only contribute 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

It seems that McGrady wants to get a few rings before retiring to further improve her career status.

In addition, when Yang Fan saw Zaza's miscellaneous, Yang Fan knew that this round of series would definitely not be peaceful.

But Yang Fan just frowned, but was not panicked at all. After all, Mason was there, no accident.

For Mason, a player who has always been paid but never plays, everyone knows what role he is on the court.

So Yang Fan only hopes that Zaza can recognize the reality and not provoke him, otherwise Yang Fan would not mind sending him to retire early to fish.

In the Western Conference, the two teams that eventually advanced to the Western Conference Finals were the Spurs and the Thunder, and this result was completely within people's expectations.

After all, the Spurs are the No. 1 in the league this season, and they swept their opponents 4:0 in the first and second rounds of the playoffs.

No matter from any perspective, the Spurs will definitely have a place in the Western Conference Finals.

As for the Thunder, although it has been suppressed by the league this year and head coach Yang Fan has also traveled to Washington east, the Thunder's winning framework still exists.

Even with the personal abilities of Durant, Curry and Westbrook, it is not difficult to enter the playoffs.

However, in Yang Fan's opinion, the chances of the Spurs entering the finals are still a little higher than those of the Thunder, because the league will definitely not allow the Thunder to achieve the achievements of three consecutive dynasties.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan chose to leave Thunder.

Not to mention whether the Spurs can defeat the Thunder in a head-on battle, once the Thunder enters the finals, it will definitely be more difficult for the league to control the game.

So instead of being in a difficult position at that time, it is better to kill him in the Western Conference Finals. Anyway, losing to the Spurs, the top Spurs in the league, seems to be a relatively normal thing.

…………

Before the Eastern Conference Finals started, although most fans were optimistic about the Curiosity, after all, the Wizards seemed even stronger in terms of their record and defeating the Heat Big Three.

But Yang Fan, as the person involved, did not dare to be careless at all, and did not dare to regard the eagle as his prey.

Especially when Yang Fan has led the team to overthrow the three Heat giants, if he is capsized in the Eastern Conference Final, then Yang Fan will definitely feel very painful...
