On May 22, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics lost 102-128 to the Heat, trailing 3-0 in the series and just one game away from elimination.
After suffering such a dismal defeat and trailing 3-0, Celtic coach Mazura became the target of attention.
In a post-match interview, asked if Mazura had lost control of the dressing room, Mazura replied: "That's true, that's why I need to get better, I need to understand what the team needs." Then the reporter asked: "Why did this happen?" Mazura replied: "I don't know." ”
Asked why the team lost, Mazura said: "We lost our defensive system, and most importantly, how can we rebuild our defensive system. And the other side has the mentality to win, and we don't, we have to get it back. ”
In addition, Mazura said: "I didn't prepare our players for this game, I should have prepared the players better and put them in a better position, and the responsibility for the loss was on me. ”
It is worth mentioning that after the last Celtics loss to the Heat, Mazura has already encountered bloody criticism, when the team's star Tatum stood up and took the initiative, saying: "He has always supported us, and we have always supported him. He didn't make a mistake, and it wasn't him who threw the ball and the mistake, it was me who threw the ball, it was I who made the mistake. ”
Earlier in the season, former Celtics coach Udoka was sacked for violating team discipline and Mazura was appointed as interim manager. But the team, which reached the finals last season, is now on the verge of elimination after trailing their opponents 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals. Predictably, if the Celtics are out, it will be difficult for Mazura to escape class. And now he has revealed that he has lost control of the locker room, and is seen as a precursor to class.
According to the schedule, the Celtics and Heat will meet in the fourth leg of the series on May 24, when the Heat will continue to be at home. If the Green Army loses again, they will end the season.
