In this way, the four groups of semifinals, only the Heat and Pacers were left without a winner.
On May 26, 2012, LeBron James received the regular season MVP trophy at home, and this season, he averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and the team record ranked second in the East.
At the beginning of the game, commentator Charles Barkley exclaimed: "LeBron James took off his hairband, his hairline was exposed, what was he going to do?" ”
Before he could think about it, Zhan and Wei began to take turns to wield.
In the first half, LeBron James, who took off his headband, scored 24 points, and Cheek Wai scored 16 points, and the two combined for 40 points to help the Heat take a 15-point lead.
In the second half, LeBron James did not choose to rest, and he continued to fight and scored one after another, helping the Heat extend their lead.
In the end, the Heat won by 23 points, won the Eastern Conference semifinals tie-break, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
After the game, LeBron James was interviewed, and when faced with the question everyone wanted to ask, he said: "Why take off the belt? Because I'm the strongest without a headband! ”
At this point, the semifinals of the East and West are all over, and the finals of the two divisions have also begun, and the first one is the matchup between the Heat and the Celtics, which still has some historical roots. LeBron James was beaten to Miami by the Green Army, and this battle is equivalent to LeBron James's revenge battle.
However, in the first game, LeBron James put on a headband again, and seemed to underestimate the Celtics.
But the aging and weak Green Army could not resist the impact of the Heat in its prime, and at the end of the fourth quarter, the Heat easily won the first game.
The Eastern Conference Finals have become no longer suspenseful, and in the eyes of many people, the Western Conference Finals will be a battle of the century, will the Thunder win by virtue of their youth, or will the Spurs rely on their old spicy and team to win? No one knew until the game was over.
However, it is worth mentioning that before the start of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder announced that Sergi Ibaka could not participate in the first game with the Spurs due to injury, and the four young people lost one less, so the major spinach companies immediately lowered the odds.
On May 29, 2012, the league announced the All-NBA team, and Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul were named to the first team; Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Andrew Bynum, Spurs players Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook were named to the second team; Carmelo Anthony, Deke Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler, Lagalondo and Dwyane Wade were named to the third team.
A little later, the first battle between the Spurs and the Thunder began.
In Miami, LeBron James finished the day's workout, he didn't practice and didn't leave the gym directly, took a shower in the locker room, and then turned on the TV.
"LeBron, aren't you going back?" McMiller packed his things and looked up at James.
"Yes." James sat in his chair and on the TV, and the game between the Spurs and Thunder was about to begin.
"Spurs vs. Thunder? Watch their games? McMiller shook his head. There's nothing to see LeBron, this season, we're going to win the championship! ”
LeBron James smiled: "Mike, I think so too, but I still want to know about our opponents, their matches are held in the evening, and by that time our training is over, and it doesn't get in the way, doesn't it?" ”
McMiller seemed to be convinced, and he nodded, stopped moving, sat aside, and watched with James.
In San Antonio, in the home team's locker room, the Spurs have already changed their clothes, and Popovich is standing in the center of the court, making a pregame speech.
"As you know, what are our goals for this season? That's right, it's the championship, and we've been going all the way, the regular season is the first in the league, and the first two rounds of the playoffs are going well, but that doesn't mean we're invincible, it doesn't mean we don't have opponents! Look at our opponents this time, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are they? Kevin Durant, the league's leading scorer, All-Round Team, second-ranked MVP in the regular season, All-Second Team, All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook, James Harden, the best sixth man, and Sergi Ibaka, the league's blocker......"
"If you look at our lineup, there's only one All-Star point guard in the league, Tony Parker, who can't compare to the Thunder, so this time, we're the biggest opponent, and we need to give everything we can to win every game! The grand finals are beckoning! ”
"So the starting lineup for this game is point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Kowhi Leonard, power forward Boris Dio, center Tim Duncan, fight, buddies!"
Popovich finally shouted a slogan, and the very cooperative crowd in the locker room shouted.
"Fight!"
AT& Inside the T arena, the Spurs are back in the Western Conference Finals, and the fanatical Holy City fans are already standing in their seats, waiting for the game to begin.
The starters of both teams took their positions in the center circle and were ready to jump the ball, the cheers and screams of the fans on the sidelines grew louder and louder, and as the referee blew the whistle, the basketball flew into the sky, and Kevin Durant and Tim Duncan, who were in charge of jumping the ball, jumped high and met in the air.
In the end, Kevin Durant, who was better at bounce, got the basketball, and the Thunder attacked first.
In this game, because of Sergi Ibaka's injury, the Thunder adjusted their starting lineup, Kevin Durant went to the power forward position, Saab Seforosa went to the small forward position, and three-point shooter Daquin Cook was the starter.
Sergi Ibaka's injury stretched the Thunder's rotation lineup, on the one hand, the Thunder wanted to maintain their scoring advantage on the inside, so they put Kevin Durant at the power forward position, and on the other hand, they wanted James Harden to stay on the bench so that he could come off the bench and contribute firepower to the Thunder, so Daqinn Cook, the 10,000-year-old water cooler manager, got the chance to start.
In the first wave of the Thunder's offense, Anxi faced Kevin Durant, but this offense was finally ended by Russell Westbrook, the fast-improving All-Star point guard who faced Tony Parker's defense, passed Tony Parker with the speed of the first step, and then used Kendrick Perkins' blocking and pick-and-roll cover, and hit a mid-range jumper to score two points.
Throughout the offensive process, Anxi stubbornly entangled Kevin Durant, making Kevin Durant feel that he was uncomfortable even running. (To be continued.) )
