Not only Auerbach was surprised to be able to return to the playoffs, but Rick Pidino, who had led the team all the way, couldn't believe it!

No one knows better than Pidino how far the level of the other players on this team, except Han Yi and McGrady, is from the requirements of the playoffs!

Ben Wallace, who can only defend, Derrick Coleman, who has gained weight again, Walter McCarty, who is called a big three-point shooter but can only shoot 0.9 three-pointers per game, and a group of rubbish guards who probably can't be rotated in other NBA teams...

This lineup can actually make it to the playoffs? It's incredible!

You know, the last time the Celtics entered the playoffs, they relied on the airborne "Human Film Essence" Dominique Wilkins to barely get to the eighth place in the East!

The season has not yet ended, and the Celtics seem to have started a celebration party in advance to celebrate the Celtics' successful season!

They have the future core inside Han Yi and outside core McGrady, which is enough, and this young combination can make it to the playoffs, which means that their future will be limitless!

Even the most demanding experts must admit that the Celtics, who were still a rebuilding team last season, became the youngest playoff team with a trade. This is definitely a season that can be scored full marks!

The Celtics' management, coaching staff, and players are all very satisfied with this season.

Only Han Yi is not satisfied!

Han Yi looked at the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers, who are above all the teams in the East!

This year, the Celtics played against the Bulls, and the Celtics had 1 win and 3 losses, and against the Pacers, they had 0 wins and 3 losses.

Although the regular season record cannot be equated with the playoff record, Han Yi understands that the current Celtics may fight hard in a game and may win one, but it is impossible to defeat these two old players in a round of series.

"So!"

Han Yi looked at the Miami Heat, which ranked third in the East:

"If we want to make a name for ourselves in the playoffs, we must get to sixth in the East!"

"So next, our goal is to get into the top six!"

"Top six?"

All Celtics players opened their mouths wide. We have already exceeded our team goals for this season, and you, Han Yi, are still not satisfied, right?

You actually want to replace the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are three wins ahead of us, and get to sixth in the East?

To chase three wins in the last eight games, it is not only necessary to win all the time, but also to have the Cavaliers lose in order to have a chance!

This year's Cavaliers have been completely renewed after the introduction of Shawn Kemp. Judging from the personnel configuration, they are really similar to the Celtics.

Shawn Kemp's overall playing style is actually quite similar to Han Yi's current style. Although they have not mastered the complete back-to-the-basket skills, they can always put the ball into the basket in various ways. This new trick can provide a strong scoring guarantee for the team.

The reason why the Cavaliers have a better record than the Celtics is not because Kemp is stronger than Han Yi, but because the role players around Kemp are obviously much more mature!

Willis Burson averages 15 points per game, Zadjunas Ilgauskas averages 14 points per game, Derek Anderson averages 12.2 points per game, Deserik Anderson averages 11.5 points per game, and Brian Knight averages 10.1 points per game!

In addition to Kemp, the Cavaliers actually have five players scoring in double digits. The firepower network woven by the Cavaliers is terrifying!

These role players may not be of much use in the playoffs, but in the regular season, these guys are very strong.

At least much stronger than the Celtics, who only have 26.5 points, 16.5 points, and 11.5 points. Walter McCarty is much stronger than the Celtics, who only have three people scoring in double digits!

Even in the 1990s, when each team could only score around 100 points per game in the NBA, it was hard to find a team with only three players scoring in double digits!

The Denver Nuggets, the king of bad teams with less than 10 wins, ranked last this year, and still had five players scoring in double digits!

If the goal is to enter the playoffs, then our Celtics have already accomplished the task well. If the goal is to rush to sixth place, there is still a long way to go!

But fortunately, according to the current schedule, the Celtics do have a good opportunity. In the penultimate game of the season, the Celtics will go to the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road.

If they win this game, they will get the effect of winning one game and winning two games, but at the same time, if they lose this game, it will also declare that the Celtics' plan to rush to sixth place is directly cold!

But before the fierce battle with the Cavaliers, Han Yi has to go to the snowy Minnesota to teach the Wolves a lessonKids!

Due to the schedule, it was not until April that Han Yi finally met Garnett, who kept talking, in the regular season. In this final stage, they still had to play two games. For the Celtics, this was also a victory that they had to win!

But what a coincidence, this victory was equally important for the Minnesota Timberwolves, because they, like the Celtics, were also trying to reach the sixth place!

And the Timberwolves were only 1.5 wins away from the Portland Trail Blazers, who were currently ranked sixth. The win difference made the Timberwolves even crazier!

Because if the Timberwolves ranked seventh, they would face the Los Angeles Lakers. The young wolf king Garnett's legs went weak when he saw O'Neal of the Lakers.

And if they could reach the sixth place, they would face the Seattle Supersonics. Although the Supersonics were also very strong, the Timberwolves believed that they could still fight hard!

Regardless of winning or not, Garnett believed that he could at least survive against Vin Baker.

So:

Before the game started, Garnett had already made a big statement:

"You all say Han Yi is strong, but I don't think so, because we have played against each other, although he won the data, but I was the one who took away the victory in the end."

"Last time it was in New York, this time it's in Minnesota, it's on my turf, I will teach this kid a lesson!"

Han Yi's answer was the same as last time: "Oh!"

Then he added:

"It's just that he may have forgotten that this time he doesn't have O'Neal, Malone, Gary Payton and Kobe around him!"

PS: I can't lie, although most readers want me to support the Celtics, I want to say that I still want to support the Mavericks! 4:2 to beat the Celtics! ! Let's go! !
