Chapter 653: The Upcoming Celestial Empire Derby
Ruan Erniu hugged James after the game, enemies on the field and friends off the court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two share an agent, and their personal relationship is not bad, although they have to say goodbye to each other from time to time, but in general, they are still two people who get along happily.
Advances in technology have made players cleaner in the game, and after many destructive injuries were banned, the relationship between players has become more harmonious.
This is an irreversible trend!
James said, "Congratulations, Kraft! you've done a great job, and I wish you a championship!"
"LeBron, you've played really well, I've just been lucky to have better teammates, you're always the best!
"Take a vacation, then go to Los Angeles for training, maybe a training camp, and this year I should still go to your hometown, the Celestial Empire. ”
Ruan Erniu smiled: "Then see you in the summer!"
In this way, 4:0, the Hawks led 12 consecutive wins in the playoffs and reached the finals.
Once, they were not the favourites for the new season.
Just won the championship, and didn't want to add to the veteran to strengthen the lineup, but replaced the main power forward with a weak team small forward who has never proven himself in the playoffs - John Salmons.
Josh Childis, the best sixth man on the bench, has been lost to the bench, and who has been replaced?
Ronald Murray, who played only 42 games last season and averaged less than 9.4 points per game, and Dragic, a white point guard who has never played in the NBA and is said to be extremely talented, plus Steve Novak, a white shooter who the Rockets don't need.
At that time, some media came out and said that it would be difficult for the Hawks to repeat last year's glory, and Atalanta is not a team with championship fortune.
A season has passed, and Atlanta, who topped the league with a record-breaking 73 wins, has slapped the pundits who underestimate themselves in the face.
Judging from the team's salary ranking this year, the Detroit Pistons ranked tenth in the league with 71.43 million meters, the Orlando Magic ranked fifteenth with 69.67 million meters, and the Cavaliers ranked third in the league with 91.3 million meters.
And what about the Atlanta Eagles?
Even if you include the cut Spiedie Claescotton and Stephen Marbury, who joined with a base salary, they still rank 18th in the league with 69.12 million meters, which is in the lower middle of the 30 teams in the league.
"Championships aren't just about salary, good chemistry is key!" said smug Hawks general manager Billy Knight, describing his success.
But immediately, some people frantically complained about the shit luck of this shit luck.
"Give me a rookie Kraft Nguyen and I can dominate the league too. ”
"Pleading with Eagles owners Bruce Levinson and Michael Giron to cut Billy Knight, I can do his job with half his salary, because I still have the MVP on my two-year cabbage contract. ”
"Billy Knight's luck is that the Trail Blazers general manager and the Thunder general manager helped him make the choice, and to be honest, the people who should be thanked the most for Knight to be named General Manager of the Year are Kevin Pritchard and Sam Presti. ”
……
Well, after the turn of Billy Knight, even Tuoguan (Trail Blazers management) and Detonator (Thunder management) did not let go, and the manager of these two teams that missed Kraft Nguyen has once again become the object of people's complaints and ridicule.
Especially Pritchard, who chose the sick professional Hu Oden, he gradually had no room for refutation, as Ruan Erniu led the Eagles to higher peaks again and again, Pritchard could only be hit in the knee again and again, and he could no longer straighten his waist.
In fact, Sam Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, is not much better, if it weren't for Durant's competitiveness and slowly showing the temperament of tomorrow's superstar, he would also become the kind of fool who needs to be criticized in the eyes of fans.
Assuming that these two are given another chance, what reason do they have not to choose Kraft Nguyen?
After all, he is a man, and he only knows the importance of having Ruan (egg) and choosing Ruan (egg)!
This situation can be recalled, but now it is confused.
One must look forward, and overdwelling on the failures of the past will only lead to complete ruin.
In this regard, the Houstonians have done quite well this season.
If the Atlanta Hawks gave people the biggest surprise in the regular season, then in the playoffs, the Houston Rockets are undoubtedly a super dark horse in the eyes of fans.
No, they are not dark horses, they are Texas cockroaches, and they are the best Xiaoqiang!
The Houstoners, who beat the Trail Blazers all the way and narrowly beat the Lakers in seven ties, finally stepped onto the Western Conference finals again since the Olajuwon era.
The Western Finals were played one day earlier than the Eastern Finals.
The two sides played 2-2 in the first four games, and the most crucial fifth game will return to Denver Heights.
According to the usual rhetoric of the Celestial Empire media, this is a battle of Tianwang Mountain!
Whoever wins G5 will get the match point in advance and seize the initiative.
Ruan Erniu and his teammates watched the live broadcast of the game on TV and came to the conclusion that the Rockets were indeed strong and the Lakers did not lose unjustly.
Carmelo Anthony was once again targeted by the Rockets in the G5.
He shot just 9 of 23 from the field under the repeated defenses of Artest, Battier and even Scola and Landry, and if it weren't for the help of the home whistle and 13 free throws, it can almost be said that he was locked up by the Rockets.
The most surprising thing is that Chauncey Billups, the FMVP, is lost.
He didn't have enough desire to shoot in the face of such a huge mismatch advantage as Aaron Brooks, shooting only 7 shots and hitting 4 of them, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws, for 12 points, 5 assists, and 3 boards.
Aaron Brooks, on the other hand, scored 19 points, five assists and five rebounds on 6-of-12 shooting, 2-of-4 three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws.
While Little Black Bean's historical status has risen, experts have also criticized Billup, saying that he should use more physical confrontation to get Brooks in the low post.
These people completely forgot that the inside line of the rocket had to be Yao Ming, not Dampier.
Da Yao once again easily defeated Superman's outward wear* Hilario, completely blowing up the Samba Beast, and once again proving with his actions that the Beast Flow was ineffective against him.
At 84:93, the Rockets won a crucial victory in Denver Heights and returned to Space City, where they will use their home-court advantage to do everything they can to knock the Nuggets out of the tournament.
Sure enough, the final battle of the Western Finals did not drag on to the G7.
Da Yao played the most gorgeous game of his career, and under the combination of Superman wearing something outside* Hilario and Kenyon Martin, he shot 16 of 20 from the field, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored a big double-double of 40 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists.
JR Smith was probably the Nuggets' most eager to win, shooting 10-of-17 from the field and 4-of-9 from three-point range, scoring a team-high 24 points, second only to Anthony with 25 points.
However, compared to the ultra-low shooting rate and scoring efficiency of the social melon, JR is still the one with the highest win-loss value in the team.
4:2, the Houstoners entered the NBA Finals again after 14 years since the 94-95 season.
For Celestial Empire fans, this is undoubtedly a moment to celebrate.
Because it won't be long before they will see the real Celestial Derby on the stage of the finals.
