Chapter 980
Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks, the two kings of the NBA, no matter who wins the championship, it is a helpless choice for them.
As for the Minnesota Timberwolves, it has long been forgotten. Since the mad Sprewell had a rabies attack in front of the media before the start of the playoffs, everyone in the Timberwolves except for the wolf king Kevin Garnett has been implicated and has become the object of fan rejection.
When Kobe Bryant was interviewed by reporters after the game, he was also a little helpless: "It's really a helpless thing to be born in the same era as a player like Lamar Odom!" I'm sure he thinks the same thing as me now. I don't want to meet him, but there is only one championship, and both of us can only fight for it with all our might. Regardless of the final win or defeat, I think for the two of us will only be a good game, not the championship itself! ”
Kobe Bryant is lamenting that "he is born and he is bright", and he also has the same feeling in Minnesota.
The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Minnesota Timberwolves, the three strongest teams in the league today, are acceptable for fans to win the championship in the end. But the thought of two teams ending up hating each other makes it difficult for them to make a choice.
The bandits in New York, the Five Lucky Stars in Los Angeles, and the three-headed monster of the Timberwolves are enough to be on the side of the league in any era. But it's a pity that they were born in the same era, and it is destined that there will only be one final winner between these three strong teams. It is simply impossible for them to coexist and take turns to sit in the bank.
In another day, there will be war in the east, and no matter how difficult the trade-offs may be, people will still have to face this day.
"Are you going now?" After Van Gundy announced that training was over, Lamar immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave, and Dampot asked in some confusion.
Because even in normal times, Lamar never left so early.
"Isn't the training over?"
Dampoter was stunned: "But tomorrow is the Eastern Conference Finals!" I think we should, yes! Should be a little more prepared! ”
Lamar smiled: "A little fuller? You mean we should practice? All right! Samuel, there's no need for it now! You can't be O'Neill tonight if you don't sleep, get some rest. With that, Lamar left without looking back.
Dampott asked Battier puzzled, "What's wrong with Lamar today?" Isn't he usually a training maniac? Why is it so abnormal today? ”
Battier glared at Dampotter angrily, "Abnormal? I think you're the one who is the pervert! I don't want to get hurt again, so if you want to practice, you can do it yourself. I'm going home to sleep, and tomorrow there's a bunch of old guys waiting for me to clean up! ”
Dampotter pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "If that madman doesn't practice, the neurosis will stay!" ”
By the time Dampoter left, the Knicks' training hall was empty. Even though the Eastern Conference Finals will start tomorrow, it seems that the Knicks' preparation is still very easy, but I don't know what kind of situation is on the Detroit Pistons
The Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks did not come as a surprise to Larry Brown, a coach who changed coaches from another team. In fact, he's been preparing for this since the day the playoffs start.
The Knicks are a formidable enemy, and Larry Brown knows that all too well.
The two teams have faced each other four times this season, and in direct conversations with the Knicks, the Pistons have been losers in each case.
Although after the start of the playoffs, the Pistons returned to show excellent competitive form, and also won the New Jersey Nets in the East with the strong performance of the five tigers in the final moments. But Larry Brown and his teammates are well aware that this so-called strength is nothing more than luck on the Detroiters' side.
Larry Brown has always admired Lamar as a player. In his opinion, Lamar is even greater than any player in the history of the league!
His outstanding attacking ability, good overall view, good defensive skills, and his innate leadership temperament are much better than many players!
Although Lamar's temper is a little worse, it is not flawed. Lamar is known as the No. 1 star in the NBA, and he deserves it.
As for the speculation from the outside world, Larry Brown has also heard it. He's well aware that people are more bullish on the Knicks' prospects, and rightly so. Whoever makes Lamar the most popular basketball player in the world today, it is not uncommon for fans to be optimistic about his team.
If this had been the case when he was still coaching the Philadelphia 76ers, Larry Brown would have stood up to refute the speculation and vowed to take out the opponent and make everyone who looked down on them slap themselves. But now the old handsome will not!
Although Larry Brown is still the imposing iron-blooded coach on the court, an old stubborn that no one can despise, his mentality has calmed down a lot after experiencing a love affair with his lover Alan Iverson.
Larry Brown began to fall silent off the pitch, as if there were many things that didn't alarm him, even the trademark scolding on the pitch was rarely seen.
Many people have speculated that after leaving his beloved Philadelphia 76ers, Larry Brown's heart will also stay there. After all, there is another beloved disciple in Philadelphia who haunts him to move back - Alan Iverson.
But in fact, Larry Brown has never regretted his decision to leave Philadelphia. He loved that team, he loved that city even more, and there was the proudest disciple in his life.
For Larry Brown, AI is the brainchild of his coaching career, but it was also his proudest disciple who broke his heart.
He will never forget the way the AI looked into his eyes when he once again clashed with the AI's philosophy of how he played. As he gets older, he tries to get the AI to change its rampage style, but the AI has always stubbornly stuck to his philosophy.
Gradually, Larry Brown was disappointed, and he felt that the championship was getting farther and farther away from him. At this time, the management of the Philadelphia 76ers also began to feel dissatisfied with him who controlled the power of the team. In the end, Larry Brown chose to leave the team with no hope in the end, leaving the team with no hope in sight and moving to a new environment to continue his championship journey.
The reason why he chose the Detroit Pistons was also because he was shocked by the sincerity and plan of Joe Dumas, the general manager of the Detroit Pistons.
At that time, the Detroit Pistons had already traded their favorite players, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, plus the team's rookie Prince. If you add yourself, the combat effectiveness of this team can only be described as terrifying.
In the end, Larry Brown was moved, and when he arrived in Detroit, he gradually kneaded the originally incompatible five tigers into a whole.
At the beginning, Larry Brown also thought that with the current lineup of the Detroit Pistons, although he did not dare to say that he had dominated the league for a long time, at least it was no problem to win the O'Brien Cup.
But when he led the Pistons to the Madison Square Garden arena to challenge the Knicks for the first time with confidence, they reaped a crushing defeat. At this time, Larry Brown realized that although the team's roster has never been stronger, if they want to win a championship, they will have to face an enemy that they cannot ignore - the New York Knicks.
The night before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, it was held at the Madison Garden Arena, home of the New York Knicks. It's late, but it's still brightly lit, and the stadium looks very empty without the fans who usually come here to cheer for the Knicks, and only the sound of "bang bang" that doesn't come out shows that there are still people inside.
After today's practice, all of the Knicks players chose to go home with Lamar leaving, but one returned to the arena shortly after leaving.
Grant Hill was halfway through the drive when he suddenly made a U-turn and headed back to the training gym. Although he has been in the NBA for more than a decade, when he faced the Finals test for the first time, the experienced veteran was inevitably a little nervous.
Changing into sportswear and grabbing a basketball, Grant Hill began to run slowly around the court with the ball. He has good ball handling skills and was originally known as one of the four players in the league who can play all positions, the other three being Anthony Walker, Tony Kukoc, Kevin Garnett, and of course, Lamar is now added.
But now the situation is different, he is no longer the successor of Jordan back then, he has become a helping hand by that guy's side. Of course, he is no longer a hero in a tragic story, this time he has to hold his fate firmly in his hands, and the championship is his only goal.
After leaving the Orlando Magic to join the Knicks, Hill began training aggressively after recovering from injury. The reason why he willingly served as Sean Battier's backup was for the championship.
Although Grant Hill has not played a lot of minutes since the start of the playoffs this season, and sometimes only has the opportunity to play in garbage time at the end of the fourth quarter, Grant Hill does not mind at all, and he cherishes every opportunity to play. And Hill also cleverly used this little time to adjust his condition to the best.
With his ball feeling getting better and better lately, Grant Hill is feeling very excited. He even can't wait for tomorrow's game to start as soon as possible, and he wants to prove that the best Hill is back. And the Knicks are definitely capable of winning the championship, no matter who the opponent is, there is no way to stop him.
