(239) dynasty

On June 15, the fourth game of the finals began at the American Airlines Arena. On the one hand, the king of kings, the two-time champion who stepped on the corpse www.biquge.info of the Purple Lakers to reach the finals, and on the other side is the eastern hegemon, who has recruited and formed a proud alliance upstart.

As soon as the Heat came up, they kept handing the ball to Wade and used his super individual ability to solve the Rockets' defense. Maddy, on the other hand, was very calm, he was not fooled by Wade's scoring streak, but just used his longer arm span to cover his opponent, forcing Wade to finish the offense with a relatively small jump shot. He knew that as long as Wade didn't easily protrude under the basket, whether it was a serious physical drain on him or inducing him to shoot a lot of long-range shots that he wasn't good at, he could help the team win games.

Sure enough, the game went according to Maddy's idea, and Wade scored 14 points in the first quarter, followed by 10 points in the second quarter, 8 points in the third quarter, and 4 points in the final quarter. Wade, who was getting more and more tired, also played more and more, and it was difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility, and Maddie was relieved to hand over the offensive end to his teammates, and he focused all his attention on defense.

Wade's state is also like a microcosm of the whole Heat team, they went from leading in the opening game to being caught up in the middle and then being thrown away in the final quarter, and finally lost 104-98. Although Wade scored a game-high 36 points, Billups, who contributed 26+4+9, was named the best player of the game by the media after the game.

In the fifth game on June 18, there was a tragic atmosphere throughout the Heat team. It's not that they're not strong, it's that the opponent is too perverted. The Heat players had a vague sense of despair that they couldn't beat the Rockets no matter how hard they tried.

In the Rockets' locker room, Adelman, who has always disliked big words, also expressed his thoughts: "Today is probably the most important game of your playing career and my coaching career. Many people believe that only three championships in a row can be called a dynasty. Since the league expanded, only Jordan's Bulls and OK's Lakers have done it. Now we are only one step away from this, and this will be the most glorious game of our career! ”

"Today, we will surely achieve greatness!" Wang Yuanfei continued.

"Yes!" The players are united.

"When I signed and then traded to the Rockets in 2000, I was still nervous." Maddie laughed, "But it turned out to be the most important and correct decision of my life." ”

"I was lucky to be selected by the Rockets." Yao Ming said.

"Before I came here, I was a fringe player who couldn't even secure a place in the main line." Billups remembered the unbearable past.

"Chauncey, you're at least the main rotation player." Reed said: "Before I joined here, I was seen as a second-round pick with no talent. ”

"And me? He almost announced his withdrawal from the draft. Roy laughed.

"Houston is our home and we will always love it!" Bosh said loudly, and Johnson and several others chimed in.

"For our team, for our family, we must win today!" The players shouted.

"Okay, okay, don't get too emotional. Let me, as a data analyst, tell you that now the data proves that we are going to win the championship. Yuan Fei laughed.

"Oh? How? The crowd wondered.

"In the history of the NBA, teams that have won by more than 10 points per 100 rounds in the regular season have won all of them. The only exception came from the Bucks in 1971-72, when two teams won by more than 10 points. In the end, they lost to another 10+ team, and the Lakers, who had a higher goal difference than the Bucks. In other words, only 10+ teams can beat 10+ teams, and there is no other perverted 10+ team in front of us, no one can beat us! ”

(Note: Wang Yuanfei traveled before the 2016 playoffs, so he didn't know that tradition had been broken by then.) In 2016, the Warriors and Spurs both had a net score of 10+ per 100 rounds, but they were eliminated by the Cavaliers and Thunder respectively and missed the championship)

Yuan Fei said this purely to relieve the pressure on the players, he was afraid that the players would be too excited and would restrain himself. The data is only a summary of past matches and has a certain reference role for the future, but it does not predict the future. But speaking out at this point, the players will be a little more relaxed and more confident.

As he expected, the motivation of Ah Shuai and Yuan Fei had a good effect, and the Rockets players were in great shape. Although Wade kept throwing his body to the basket to get fouls, although O'Neal still contributed a double-double of 18+12, and although the two shooters Posey and Williams also supported the team outside the three-point line, it was the Rockets who relied on stronger overall strength to have the last laugh.

By the time the game entered the final 10 seconds, the trailing Heat players had no more fighting spirit to foul. They chose to watch Maddie hold the ball and consume the last time.

These 10 seconds are the 10 seconds of pain and torture for the Heat players, but the 10 seconds for the Rockets players to feel happiness and joy.

And on the other side of the ocean, in China, countless fans are counting down on TV:

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Zero!!"

The game is over! 108:102 The Rockets won away from home, defeating the Heat 4:1 to win three consecutive championships!

Wade, who played almost the full 48 minutes and scored 43 points from 25 free throws, burst into tears. He did everything he could to prove his loyalty and love for Miami, but he couldn't get a championship trophy back. Competitive sports are so cruel, there are always three or five teams that deserve to win the championship, but there will only be one champion in the end.

At the end of the game, Roy and Spanoolis hugged and cried. These two outstanding rookie defenders have contributed immensely to the team's championship, but they have taken on a lot of pressure from behind. When Roy first joined the league, he was evaluated by countless people, and this discrimination constantly motivated him to train hard; And Spann has borne the love of the people of the motherland, and many fans of his parent club in Greece, Athens Marrosi, believe that Spann will not be able to play the main force in the Rockets and has no future. Many fans even begged him to return to Greece to continue his development. But now they have all proven themselves, and although they are not starters, they are an inseparable and important member of a dynasty team!

Amir. Johnson has also stopped crying, which is too happy for a rookie.

The battle-hardened CTM trio will not be as excited as these young people, but they will have a bright smile on their faces.

Until the three of them received the O'Brien Cup, Maddie kissed the trophy affectionately, and then handed it to Yao Ming and held it high. It's a pity that the cheers this time are not so enthusiastic, there is no way, after all, it is an away championship.

Maddie took the microphone and said, "First of all, thank you to my teammates, I was the best player on this team. But this season I missed most of the games because of surgery and they have made this team where it is today, thanks to them. ”

This time, the audience applauded. There is no fan who does not admire Maddy, who has come out of a serious injury and deserves anyone's respect.

Maddie continued: "Secondly, I would like to thank my dear friend Jason. Wang, it was his unique vision that brought us together and made us a dynasty team. Thank you, Jason! ”

Wang Yuanfei was suddenly pushed to the front of the stage by the players, and he was completely unprepared. He took the microphone and thought for a moment before saying, "Winning the championship is not the end, but the beginning of the next stage." Our three-in-a-row title, the first of which saw off the great superstar Hakim. Olajuwon; The second crown saw off our old teammates, the Great Wall of China duo; This third crown also brought a farewell, and another of our Rockets' meritorious veterans is also leaving. So I want to dedicate this trophy to him! ”

Carol. Dawson was ushered to the podium and held the championship trophy aloft. At this moment, old Dawson's tears welled up in his eyes, and he and the players hugged each other tightly.

Like a consolation prize, Wade was honored as the Most Valuable Player of the Finals. He became Jerry in 1969. West is the second superstar after West to fail to win the Finals but win the FMVP. Wade averaged 34.4 points per game in this series, while the Rockets scored more evenly, only Reed and Yao Ming averaged more than 20 points per game, and it is normal to be inferior to Wade in this award.

At the post-match press conference, reporters asked a lot of questions, which made Yuanfei tired.

"McGrady thinks you're the one who brings these players together. Then Carol. What role did Mr. Dawson play? Woking raised another suspicious question.

"To put it simply: I did make a lot of suggestions from a data point of view when it came to the selection of candidates, but it was Mr. Dawson who was negotiating. If you want to ask him about his work, I don't know what he does, so please interview him personally. Wang Yuanfei responded unceremoniously: "But he has already left, and whether he is willing to be interviewed or not has nothing to do with me." ”

"Excuse me Carol. Has Dawson's successor already decided? An ESPN reporter asked.

"Of course." Yuan Fei immediately changed his smile to each other, "Please rest assured that Rocket fans, I will definitely choose an excellent manager for the team, and I will never disappoint everyone!" ”

Behind him, a staff member in a suit and leather shoes laughed when he heard this. This gentleman has big ears and neat hair, and looks very young, but his body is a little bloated. The name tag on his chest shows his name, Darryl. Morey. (To be continued.) )
