NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

The first-round series only consisted of four games.

The Knicks, Heat, and Bulls advanced from the Eastern Conference, and it was confirmed that the Heat and Bulls will face off in the semifinals.

The Knicks' opponent is the winner of the Celtics-Magic series.

The Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks have advanced from the Western Conference, and it has been confirmed that the Spurs and Mavericks will face off in the semifinals.

The Lakers' opponent is the winner of the Nuggets-Thunder series.

Let's start with the east.

The Celtics-Magic series is a close contest between two evenly matched teams, with every game being a fierce battle.

They are evenly matched.

They fought to the very end, with each side winning and losing, the score going from 2-2 to 3-3, and then to a decisive Game 7.

The situation is the same.

The Celtics didn't launch many strong attacks, and their fast break frequency wasn't high either; they just wore down the opponents with positional battles.

Everyone can attack, everyone can pass, and everyone can provide support.

The "new Celtics' Big Five" all seem to be very versatile, and they're taking it slow and steady with their attacks.

There's always an opportunity, and we always manage to win.

The Celtics, with their strong desire to win the championship this year, give off a seasoned and composed vibe.

There wasn't much pressure.

But... for some reason, we can't win the game.

The main theme of magic remains... the "one star, four rays" system.

In the crucial Game 7, the Magic's outside shooters were not in good form at the start, and they were behind and at a disadvantage for a long time.

But Dwight Howard's dominance in the paint remains, as he protects the rim time and time again and grabs offensive rebounds repeatedly.

He repeatedly fed the ball to the shooters.

Gradually... shooters like Carter, Nelson, Lewis, and Turkoglu all regained their touch.

Once the touch gets warmed up.

Magic's three-pointers rained down.

They staged a comeback in the third quarter, tying the score and gradually taking the lead.

The Celtics played steadily.

The Magic capitalized on their momentum and extended their lead further with five minutes remaining in the final quarter.

They are leading by 6 points.

They took control of the field.

What about the Celtics?

They felt the pressure; they couldn't let the Magic's shooters keep firing.

They increased their defensive intensity.

Despite the fact that players like Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen were exhausted and their stamina was completely depleted.

But they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Their desire for the championship means they can only win tonight, they cannot afford to lose!

In contrast, magic.

After taking the lead, they got carried away again. Howard wasn't focused enough in the paint, and Lewis started taking wild three-pointers.

Nelson once again looked down on Rondo, giving him an open offensive opportunity.

Only Carter was playing seriously.

"You guys need to be serious! Can you stop relaxing and taking reckless shots just because you're leading?!"

Carter was furious.

He could no longer hold back and, during a timeout, he sternly reprimanded his team members.

"No."

Howard, unaware of the gravity of the situation, chuckled and said, "We're still in the lead."

Do not worry.

"Whenever I get even a little serious, I'm an unstoppable 'monster' under the basket; no one can beat me."

"Then you're taking this seriously!"

Carter didn't hold back and directly confronted Howard, hoping to make him more serious and win the game.

"What do you mean by 'reckless throwing'?!"

Lewis was somewhat dissatisfied, "My shot was fine, it just missed, why are you making such a fuss about it?!"

Why didn't you praise me when I made that three-pointer?

"you sure?"

Carter asked a probing question, "You drifted past Garnett and Pierce and shot a three-pointer."

You think there's nothing wrong with that shot?!

"Well, no."

Lewis is still being stubborn.

Nelson and Turkoglu didn't speak; one was biting his nails, and the other was fiddling with his shoelaces.

Both of them were indifferent and didn't realize the team's performance... which was a big problem.

"you……"

Carter hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Water dripping on stone wears it away; it takes more than a day to achieve this.

The team's lazy atmosphere wasn't just present in the playoffs; it persisted throughout the entire season.

Regular season.

He had subtly reminded everyone multiple times, believing that everyone would take the playoffs seriously and be eager for the championship.

That's not the case.

They were confident, but not important enough, and lacked the desire to win.

Of the three matches they lost, they had a chance to win two of them, but lost them all.

If we lose again tonight, we're eliminated.

Carter didn't want to be eliminated; he wanted to give it his all, to advance, and to win a championship trophy.

He stopped talking, otherwise... if they really started arguing and fighting amongst themselves, it would only backfire.

"Everyone, calm down."

Manager Stan Van Gundy tried to smooth things over, saying, "We're still in the lead, we're all taking this seriously."

Victory is within reach, keep fighting until the last few minutes.

We will definitely advance.

Carter shook his head after hearing the coach's words because... the coach hadn't gotten to the point.

The problem now isn't a lack of ability, but a lack of attitude.

But I can't say it, and I don't have time to say it.

soon.

The pause ends.

The game continues.

Carter's words failed to sway any of the players; everyone continued to play according to their own ideas and rhythm.

result? !

Just like in the first game, they were leading but were ultimately reversed by the Celtics once again.

The Celtics won Game 7.

In the commentary box.

Reggie Miller frowned and said, "Why does it feel like the Magic are all so lacking in energy and passion?!"

They're not that big.

Of course... the "new Celtics' Big Five" are truly strong. Congratulations to the Celtics for winning Game 7, defeating the Magic, and advancing smoothly.

"what!"

Barkley chuckled and explained, "Dwight Howard, 'Warcraft,' has always been an unambitious, carefree boy."

He plays basketball as if he only does it to make money and then go have fun.

He never had a strong desire for the championship, he didn't like training, and he didn't even like basketball.

I play basketball just to make money.

So much so that he has been squandering the basketball talent that God gave him, which will one day be exhausted.

Rashad Lewis, an "elite shooter," also signed a "hundred-million-dollar contract," ensuring he'll be set for life.

He doesn't need to work himself to the bone at all.

The laziness of these two key players will affect the atmosphere in the entire locker room.

This resulted in the team lacking a strong desire to compete for the championship.

Vince Carter was an exception, following Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady winning championship rings last year.

He is the only one of the "Big Four" shooting guards who has never won a championship ring.

His career is rapidly declining, and he has less and less time left.

He is the Magic's most eager player to win a championship.

Unfortunately... it takes two to tango.

He is no longer a "half-man, half-god" who can fly and escape into the earth; he alone cannot turn the tide.

That's why the Magic looked listless and that's why the Celtics came back to win Game 7.

"Yes."

Reggie Miller completely agreed, remarking, "In every crucial playoff game, the desire for the championship must be incredibly high."

otherwise……

You're destined to be a loser!!!
