That's the price of youth.

Simmons is right, the 76ers sent away the experienced Miller in exchange for the little-known Lowry for the overall healthy development of the team. If Miller was in possession of the ball in those key games, with the old experience of the old point guard, it is indeed unlikely that those undeserved error choices will occur.

But on the flip side, would the 76ers have been able to drag the game to the end without Lowry's hard work in regulation time?

"Ignore him." Chen Mu smiled slightly, reached out and patted Lowry's shoulder.

"But......" Lowry's face turned red, and his expression was quite ugly.

"That's it, ignore him, he's talking nonsense!" Iguodala glanced at Chen Mu in understanding, and also patted Lowry on the shoulder.

He ...... Is it nonsense? Lowry was a little unsure, the two team bosses in front of him said so, it should be nonsense. But why does it sound so reasonable?

"Don't listen to Andre, he's talking nonsense." Chen Mu glanced at Iguodala and said, "Simmons is right, you are indeed the biggest reason for losing those games. ”

……

Is there anything so comforting as you???

Iguodala glanced at Chen Mu frantically, although he knew that Chen Mu was such a character, he had something to say, and he never turned around.

But you're sincere, and you're going to have an occasion, right? Didn't you see that Lowry was frustrated at this time, and you still said that the loss was someone's fault? Lori's frustration isn't enough to put it in??

"Right...... It's my fault......"

Lowry also understood that Iguodala was really fooling himself and wanted to comfort himself, and the team boss calmly stated a fact.

Losing can't be said to be anyone's fault, but those games. It was indeed their own mistakes that led to the team's defeat.

Alas...... If I could do it all over again, and do those key moments again, I wouldn't have chosen that way, maybe we could......

"It's a pity that there is no way to redo it."

Chen Mu's words were in Luo Rui's heart. Lori was shocked when he heard this, and looked up at Chen Mu, who continued to stare at the TV.

"I know how you feel, that's how we all came here." Chen Mu continued: "I made a lot of mistakes at critical moments, and there were a lot of brain-dead moves. ”

"Poof......

Iguodala laughed out loud.

"Andre wasn't much better, we had a chance to win in regulation when we played the Pistons in the playoffs last season, but he fell into the defensive trap of the opposition. And then I threw a hell of a shot, and if I hadn't made a big splash in overtime, we would have lost. ”

Iguodala couldn't laugh anymore, and it was Korver's turn to cough a few times and pretend to be serious.

"And Kyle, you say he's right, he's really right, but you say he's not right, sometimes it's not. After 11 consecutive wins, we lost a wave. Look at how much of your biography he wasted? Chen Mu continued to speak venomously.

Korver was also silent.

'We're a young team and we're improving. yes, Simmons was right, if it had been Miller, maybe we wouldn't have lost those games. Chen Mu continued: "But we will lose the future. ”

We will lose the future.

Sending Miller away and getting Lowry is just for tactical fit. Do you just want to make the fast attack more sharp?

Of course not.

Whether it is Chen Mu, who proposed the idea of a trade, or Cheeks and Billikin, who finally completed the deal, the purpose is to change the team's blood. Send away the old point guard who won** is not so strong, and usher in Lowry, who is full of anger to prove himself. Including sending away Hunter, who is bent on a big contract, and getting Milicic and Evans. Everything the 76ers do is for the future of the team.

"It's not about winning or losing one or two games, it's about you." Chen Mu looked back at Lori, his eyes were like knives: "What can you bring us." ”

"In the not-too-distant future."

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and continued to watch TV quietly.

Lowry was on the side, the shame on his face gradually fading, leaving behind a faint sense of perseverance.

yes, what can I bring to the team.

What I can bring to the 76ers may not be as dazzling as Miller in the short term, but what about the future?

What kind of player can I become in the near future?

With them around, can I carry the banner of Philadelphia's backcourt and bring something different to the team?

Lowry's fists clenched slowly.

"Let's talk about the West first."

As in previous years, Simmons began to analyze the situation of the upcoming playoffs after talking about some specific teams.

"The Lakers faced the Nuggets in the first round, the combination and confrontation of the 96 generation and the 03 generation, Kobe, Anthony, Iverson, haha, three scoring champions. In terms of lineup, the Lakers' advantage is still relatively obvious, and it is very difficult for the Nuggets to pass the test, my prediction is 4 to 1, at most 4 to 2, and the Lakers will pass. ”

Simmons continued: "The Suns vs. Mavericks in the first round are another very interesting matchup, Nash vs. Dirk, reappeared yesterday, I don't know if they accidentally passed the ball to each other. This group of Suns still has a relatively large advantage, and the Mavericks have problems with their backcourt speed and defense, and it is estimated that the Suns will pass 4-1. ”

"Hornets vs. Rockets, if Yao can't come back, the Hornets lose more than 1 game is a failure. Of course, of course, I know that they still have ten consecutive wins without Yao, but the truth is cruel. 4 to 0, basically no suspense. ”

"The most interesting matchup in the Western Conference, Jazz vs. Spurs, I personally am still optimistic about the Spurs, after all, they are old powerhouses, and they have a 'past' of playoff power. But the game may be a bit more intense, and the Spurs will have some problems defensively against a point guard of Delon's type, 4-2 or 4-3, and the Spurs will pass. ”

"If the first round is played according to this pattern, the second round will be the Lakers vs. Spurs, and the Suns vs. Hornets. The Spurs may fall in the semifinals, the Lakers' momentum is too strong, and Kobe's problem, the Spurs are difficult to deal with. Simmons continued: "On the Suns and Hornets' side, the matchup between the old and new assist kings, the inside Sun has an advantage, and the Sun passes. ”

"You mean the Western Conference Finals will be the Lakers vs. the Suns?" The host smiled: "That's really a set of duels that everyone is looking forward to." ”

"That's right, I don't dare to make up my mind about this set of matchups, if I have to say it, well......" Simmons frowned and thought for a moment: "The sun is over, because I'm a Celtic brainless fan, BEATLA!" Ha ha! ”

"Quite an unreliable prediction." The host made a joke: "And what about the eastern side?" ”

"Well, the east, it's interesting too."

Simmons looked at the ranking table and said: "The Celtics have passed the Hawks properly, but the overall playing style of the Hawks and the athleticism of the forward line are estimated to bring some trouble to Boston." 6 games, 6 games, Celtic passed. ”

"Detroit vs. Philadelphia, haha, the old grudges are here again!"

Simmons was excited for a while, and said: "In the playoffs last season, the 76ers were killed 4-1 by the Pistons in the first round, although everyone predicted a sweep, and I also predicted a sweep, but the 76ers' boys did a very good job, and my face is still hurting." ”

"The 76ers have improved this year, but the Pistons' backcourt has also improved, and the interior is a little weak. The key is the overall play style of the Pistons, there are few individual ball-handling singles, and the 76ers' man-to-man defensive advantage is difficult to play. ”

Simmons is right, the 76ers' outside Lowry and Iguodala are good defenders, and the one-on-one confrontation of Chen Mu on the inside is also worthy of most of the league's interior lines. But against teams with rich and complex tactics, the 76ers always struggle.

This is because Cheeks itself is limited, and the second is because in addition to these three points, Korver and Daim Porter are all guys who get dizzy when they encounter a change of defense, and they belong to defenders with obvious flaws. The most stark example of this was against the Rockets, where the 76ers were beaten by the same tactic five times and scored four times.

It just so happens that the Pistons team under Sanders is a strong team with an incomparably rich tactical choice.

"The 76ers have improved, we can all see that the Chinese kid is difficult for the Pistons to defend, and a group of promising young people this season is expected to explode in one or two games and cause some problems for the Pistons. And the old hatred from last season is still there, and the 76ers' boys may fight hard and want shame. ”

Simmons continued: "But overall, the strength advantage is a real advantage, and the Pistons will still advance, estimated within 6 games." ”

Within 6 games, the Pistons advanced.

Compared to last season, before the playoffs began, almost the world thought that the Pistons would sweep the promotion, and now the 76ers are in a much better situation.

However, it was still the first round of the tour and it was lost.

This prediction is still relatively reliable, Lowry is good, but what about Billups?

Korver is great, but he's up against Hamilton, the master of movement off the ball.

Iguodala? How effective can his entanglement skills do against Prince?

Chen Mu on the inside line is the only strong point of the 76ers, and the decline of Rashid has basically lost the suspense of this group of matchups. But the Pistons' interior thickness is good, and Mark Hill's outburst gives the Pistons more confidence to play multiplayer rotation. A completely different defensive style and a completely different defensive concept will bring some obstacles to Chen Mu?

The Pistons advanced in six games, which doesn't seem like an unacceptable ending for the two teams in second and seventh.

But Chen Mu and Iguodala still have a trace of faith in their hearts.

A glimmer of faith in winning and qualifying.

"Let's go, don't look at it."

Chen Mu got up and walked to the instrument room.

"We're going to advance, whatever you think, that's what I'll say." (To be continued......)

PS: The Warriors have finally lost!

My fawn picked up a bargain, but it was also spelled out by the young players! Worthy of respect!
