After a fierce and anxious game, Qiao Hai also breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Ervin Gentry and Tang Yi and said, "It's really exciting. ”

"Stimulation?" Gentry and Tang Yi were very speechless, they obviously couldn't understand Qiao Hai's thoughts, but for Qiao Hai, he didn't play much in such an intense and suspenseful key playoff game.

It can be said that from Qiao Hai's first season in charge, coaching the Lakers is a game against the Spurs, his first season in charge of the Grizzlies, and the second playoff trip in the West, and then it may be this time.

In other seasons, Qiao Hai's team has always been able to win the playoffs without any suspense, and even before the game, Qiao Hai was sure that his team would win.

But this game was different, before the game, Qiao Hai thought that the Bobcats had a 70% win rate, which seemed not low, but after the game really started, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated the defense of this Pistons team.

The pace of the game was completely controlled by the Pistons, and Joe had to fight for some advantages in Larry Brown's rhythm.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter of the game, in order not to be dragged into the last moment by the Pistons, Qiao Hai could only choose to sacrifice Wuxiao, relying on the explosion of Wuxiao's physical strength to win the game in one wave.

At the press conference after the game, Qiao Hai, who won the first victory in the Eastern Conference finals, looked very happy because he was full of smiles.

"We got the first game of the series, which was a good start, and it was a thrilling game for us, and the Pistons made it very difficult for us, but luckily, we got over it."

"The five-man lineup in the fourth quarter? That's right, we were only three points ahead at the time, and in order to secure the win, we put on a more intense lineup and won the game, relying on the offensive explosiveness of the five-man lineup, and their physical reinforcement and assistance on the defensive end. ”

"It's a tough game for us to win, so this Eastern Conference Finals, everything is still unknown, I can only say that in the next games, we will try to win every game......"

……

After the game, the mainstream discussion on the Facebook page also spoke highly of the Eastern Conference final game between the Bobcats and the Pistons.

"It was a fierce defensive battle, both teams were at their peak in competitive form, from the beginning to the end, both teams did not make too many mistakes, which is the main reason why the score was able to bite in the first three quarters and even the first half of the fourth quarter." - A user named "Enoughunknonsources".

"I said before the game that Qiao Hai and Larry Brown's fighting style was the biggest attraction of this round of Eastern Finals, and after the game started, neither of them disappointed me, from the very beginning of the game, Larry Brown mastered the key to this game, that is, the rhythm of this game, and the game was dragged into the defensive rhythm by the Pistons."

"But Qiao Hai didn't do nothing, he surprisingly used a regular lineup, played until the fourth quarter, the Bobcats actually took a lead, and then in the fourth quarter, Qiao Hai's adjustment at the critical moment can be called a stroke of genius, and the five small lineups at the critical moment directly helped the Bobcats win the game!"

"It can be said that Qiao Hai's adjustment has become the winner and loser of this game, and he determines the final result of this game!" - A user named "Eric jr".

"This Eastern Conference Finals is much more exciting than the Western Conference Finals, in contrast, the Western Conference Finals are one-sided for the Houston Rockets, and in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bobcats and Pistons are at least evenly matched, so when the East and West each have a game, I decided not to miss every Eastern Conference Finals!" - A user named "shanghainoon12345".

……

In the midst of the high praise and anticipation of thousands of fans, the second game of the Eastern Conference finals between the Bobcats and the Pistons began, and the game was still played at the Time Warner Center.

This game still did not disappoint those fans who spoke highly of the East Finals, and in the first quarter of the game, the two teams were still very anxious.

In the opening game, the Bobcats scored two points first, and then the Pistons returned with three points.

The Bobcats scored two more points to overtake the score, and the Pistons did not show weakness, and another wave of offense, Steve Francis caused a foul, made both free throws, and the Pistons regained the lead......

In the gradual increase in the scores of the two teams, after the first quarter, the score was 26:24, and the Bobcats only led the Pistons by 2 points.

"The playoffs are obviously different from the regular season, the Bobcats in the regular season, they take a not small lead in the first quarter of every game, and in this playoffs, they failed to do that."

After the first quarter, Reggie Miller commented on the first quarter, and Magic Johnson also nodded: "That's right, the Pistons' defense was very successful, they successfully cut the Bobcats' formation, so the Bobcats couldn't play the offense in the regular season." ”

In the second quarter, Qiao Hai, who was already experienced, made a successful adjustment, and he uncharacteristically played a five-small lineup, but the purpose was not to attack, but to defend.

Then, in the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats relied on the fast movement of the small lineup and constantly interfered with the Pistons' perimeter shots on the defensive end, and the Pistons were forced to play inside, but except for Steve Francis, the other players of the Pistons did not have too strong interior offensive power.

So in this quarter, the Bobcats defense of the piston only scored 14 points.

At halftime, the Bobcats took a double-digit lead at 49-38.

"Qiao Hai's adjustment has once again achieved results, almost the same plot as the previous game, the difference is that Qiao Hai's key adjustment has advanced by two full quarters!"

"In this game, just by halftime, the Bobcats had already taken an 11-point lead."

Leading by 11 points at halftime, in the second half, the Bobcats maintained the intensity of the second half.

In the end, they won 98-83 at home, and the overall score of the Eastern Conference Finals has become 2:0, and the Bobcats are ahead, and it seems that their advantage is not small.

But Qiao Hai knows very well that their advantage is not big, and it can even be said that they do not have any advantage at all except for the home advantage of the series!

The next two games will be played in Detroit.

Playing away, the two teams continued to play a scorching game, and in the first away game, the Bobcats proved Qiao Hai's subjective judgment with their performance.

Three minutes before the end of the game, the Bobcats and the Pistons were tied, but at the critical moment, the Pistons' defense exploded, and in the last three minutes, the Bobcats scored only 2 points, while the Pistons scored 6 points.

As a result, the Pistons narrowly defeated the Bobcats by 4 points 92-88 and successfully pulled one back after returning to their home court.

Then, in the fourth game of the series, which was also the second game of the Bobcats on the road, the Pistons made another effort to win 91-78.

After four games, the overall score of the series became 2:2, and the two teams were tied, and it is true that as Qiao Hai said, the Bobcats do not have any advantage, except for the home advantage of the series!
