It can only be said that Wade still knows Haslem very well.

Before the game, he said that Haslem would not let Wayne score more than 40 points, and you see, Haslem could have made Wayne miserable today.

It's so miserable that I can't get 40 points, which is really pitiful.

Well, it's about Haslem pathetic......

18 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, in the era of 40 or 50 points per game in the future, this does not seem to be a great statistic.

But in this style of play that still emphasizes muscle defense, 18 points in a single quarter is already an exaggerated number.

What's more, it's still in the playoffs.

In 2003, Tracey during the Magic period also performed a miracle of 18 points in a single quarter in the playoffs.

But at that time, he was a top scorer.

At this time, Wayne is just a first-year rookie.

Therefore, his 18 points in a single quarter is even more exaggerated.

This is also the highest individual score in a single quarter of the playoffs in the history of the Pacers!

When Miller scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds, the single-quarter score was not so high.

Wayne really made the most of the stage of Tianwang Mountain.

And the fear created by the Grim Reaper of the Seal City has spread to the west.

When Popovich witnessed Wayne's 18-point miracle in a single quarter in front of the TV, the old man was still a little panicked.

Although Haslem does not match Wayne, he is better suited to the muscular No. 4 position, so he is tough.

There's really nothing wrong with preventing Wayne from doing this.

But even so, 18 points in the fourth quarter upset Popovich......

There are some people you just let him open up and vote for him, and he can't do it.

Take the Heat's twin Jones as an example, if there is anyone who has the most chances in this round of the series, it is undoubtedly the two of them.

But they don't talk about 18 points in a single quarter, they can score 18 points in a single game, Pat. Riley could have crooked a smile.

So, Haslem can't guard against Wayne is one thing.

But Wayne does have something of his own.

I don't know why, Popovich vaguely felt a toothache.

Otherwise, in the finals, you will also get a mouth guard to wear?

Or...... Strike first!

The next day, sure enough, the battle of Tianwang Mountain was a mess.

Of course, all this heat belongs to Wayne alone.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, he completely buried the magical Heat No. 3.

Wayne scored 38 points in the game, and in terms of scoring, Wade once gave a 40-point performance in a single game.

But because it was the battle of Tianwang Mountain, people subconsciously thought that Wayne's 38 points were more valuable than Wade's 40 points.

Jiejie is the additional effect of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and Jiejie is the additional bonus of the Touchstone of the star.

Wayne's quote in an interview: "The future belongs to Wade." ”

It has undoubtedly become one of the classic quotations.

Deng Dudu originally wanted to say this to Wayne after winning the finals, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Wayne.

Misstep, misstep.

Many media outlets have said that Indianapolis has found a real Byrd successor this time.

But Lord Ba believes that Wayne has actually surpassed Bird, at least in the area of beeping, which is beyond Bird.

The reason is simple: "Bird pretending to beep was also beaten, and Wayne ...... Absolutely no one would dare to fight the best fighters! ”

In this way, Wayne did crush Bird to death.

And in China, Wayne was almost blown to the same level as Jordan.

"18 points in a single quarter, Michael. The strongest rookie after Jordan is born! ”

"Wade cried after the game, and the 03rd class was beaten and cried again!"

"The little giant Wayne led the team to a big victory over the Heat and headed for the Finals!"

The domestic media all exploded, and so did the domestic fans.

Although Yao Ming played well in the NBA, he has not broken through the first round of the playoffs so far.

In the playoffs, he has yet to show a very dominant performance.

So Wayne, this is completely opening the door to a new world for Chinese fans!

Although Battle once won a championship with the Spurs, he was the first Chinese player to win a championship in the NBA.

But he didn't play in the playoffs at all, just playing as a "shark simulator" in training.

So buying a championship is really not high for Battle.

And if Wayne can enter the finals this time, it will be the first time that a Chinese player will enter the finals as a main player, which is a completely different concept.

Think about it and know what kind of sensation it will cause in China.

The domestic media blows the mosaic championship every year, isn't it because there is a market for it, and the fans are looking forward to it.

And now, Wayne has a chance to fulfill the dream of Chinese fans. Chinese players winning the NBA will no longer be just a crooked fantasy in the newspapers every year.

Now, things are all going well for the Pacers, and they just need one more win in Indianapolis to make their way to the Finals.

This team will once again be pushing for their championship dreams.

As players, they just need to play their game well.

But as the team's general manager, Donnie. Walsh has other things to do besides playing.

For example, there is a draft that will start in half a month.

"Daniel. Granger? Do you think this guy from the University of New Mexico deserves to trade up for a draft pick? Bird looked at the report on his desk, a little confused.

Granger...... Isn't it just a version of Wayne with enhanced athleticism and weakened height and arm span?

As it stands, Granger is also an all-around forward who can swing in the third or fourth position, shoot, dunk and defend.

Entering the NBA is the kind of all-around or all-in-one.

It's the same as last year's Wayne.

In Bird's opinion, Granger can do, but ...... There's no need!

"It's always time to try, our picks this year and the picks that Seattle gave us were just the end of the round. At the end of the round, I didn't have any particular favorite. Walsh spread his hands.

"Luther. Isn't Hyde a good smell? Coming off the bench to play a defensive type is just the right way to complement our bench depth. We don't know if Reggie will be in the squad next season. ”

"I listened to you last season, and this season, it's time to listen to me, Larry. I'm really optimistic about him and I think he can be a core level player. Walsh was resolute.

It wasn't until now that Bird realized that something wasn't right, and the smile on his face faded.

Co-authored Walsh: It's not just about the draft with himself.

This Nima is establishing his status and rights!

You Bird got someone you like in the team, then I'll have to make a whole one!

Bird was a little angry, what about the basketball things that I said were in charge of?

How can you old Tang go back on your word?

This is not the first time the two have disagreed.

Well, when Bird was a head coach, maybe the two could get along well.

But when Bird did get into management and actually took some of Walsh's rights, there was inevitably a disagreement.

Who doesn't want a team to build on their own terms?

Who wants to have someone around them to tie their hands and feet?

Perhaps at the beginning, the owner of the team, Herbert. Simon is hoping that Walsh and Bird can produce a 1+1=2 effect.

But it turns out that the construction of the team management, like the construction of the squad, is far from simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Walsh has his own team-building policy, and Bird has his own approach.

This crack has been around for a long time, and the two quarreled over whether to choose Wayne last year.

It's just that the Pacers have been doing okay in the past few years, so the crack is expanding very slowly.

When the two encounter disagreements, they basically take a step back and it's over.

But now, Bird vaguely felt as if even victory wouldn't be able to stop the pace of their split.

"Well, I respect your choice, Donnie. At the moment, I just want to focus on the game. We're going to the finals, man. This year, I feel like we have a great opportunity. ”

"That's right, Bird, we're going to win."

"Well, definitely, I won't wait for next time."

After Bird finished speaking, he walked out of the door of the general manager's office.

Cracks or something, let's put them aside.

In any case, he will first bring a championship trophy to his hometown.

※※※

After the battle of Tianwang Mountain on the eastern side, the Spurs also cleanly solved the Suns in G5.

This means that the Spurs have advanced to the Finals twice in three years, and they are indeed Ivy League Western Conference Ivies.

If you choose the right champion, you can do whatever you want.

If we talk about the regular season, D'Antoni wants to tell the league that times have changed.

Then in the playoffs, the Spurs told the mustache: "Times haven't changed."

At the American Airlines Center arena in Phoenix, Suns fans witnessed the moment when the Spurs lifted the Western Conference championship.

At this point, they were probably able to understand Ray. Aaron's anger was up.

Bruce. Although Bowen didn't blackfoot Nash in this round of the series, there were a lot of small moves that should have been made.

Kicks, elbows, malicious ramming...... Nash had to be glad that he had made it through the series safely.

Watching Bowen's bad guy win the Western Conference championship trophy in a grand manner, Phoenix fans felt quite uncomfortable.

Nash won the MVP but lost the chance to compete for a championship.

If he could, he might rather trade MVP for a ticket to the Finals.

At the press conference after the medal ceremony, most reporters asked Popovich questions about the finals.

Since it's related to the Finals, the Pacers and Wayne definitely can't skip it.

"The Pacers now have a 3-2 lead over the Heat, what do you think are their chances of making it to the Finals?"

"All I care about is my own game, friend."

"So, if you had to choose, which opponent would you rather face?"

"No matter who we face, we're going to give it our all."

Popovich's attitude annoyed the reporters.

After all, it's an old man, what to say and what not to say, Popovich knows it very well.

Popovich coped with ease, but the smile on the old man's face disappeared when an Indian reporter stood up.

"Craig, are you scared of Way? Why don't you talk about similar questions? ”

"Me? Fear Wei? His filthy deeds may scare others, but they don't scare me. Popovich pretended to be calm, but in fact he felt that his teeth were starting to hurt, and the problem was too substantial!

That's right, I'm just afraid of meeting Wayne!

It's not that I'm timid, it's mainly Wayne...... Whoever changes is panicked!

"Dirty? You mean, like Bruce. Is Bowen a dirty deed? The Yincheng reporter asked again and again that he was deliberately here to do something today.

“...... Bruce just defends like that, and I'm happy with his defensive style. ”

Well, you'll never wake up an old double standard.

"What's so dirty about Nawei? Just because Bowen couldn't get his feet on his feet, he accidentally knocked out your teeth, so you've been haunted by it? At the end of the day, it's Bowen who makes the first move, uh...... Moving feet! ”

Bowen: I eat with my feet, why can't I?

Popovich did not continue to answer, but simply stood up and left the press conference.

Having just won the division title and leaving the court in a rage, Popovich may be the first ever.

This Western championship is really worrying.

Of course, that's not the most worrying thing.

Because a day later, in Indian, Polis, the most worrying thing for Popovich was happening.

After suffering a major blow in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Heat did not rise up as Miami fans imagined, winning two games in a row.

After experiencing setbacks, they are a little lacking in stamina.

In the sixth game, Wade was completely lost, completely losing the spirit he had before.

Eddie. Jones also lost his touch and did not take responsibility as the second scorer.

It is estimated that after this game, Wade and Shaq will start complaining that Eddie is too soft to fight hard.

In the original history, Eddie didn't go like this.

The offense of the entire Heat team can only be supported by the aging shark.

You can see how tough the Heat were on the offensive end today.

Shaq played so hard today that Barkley joked: "He will probably lose 10 pounds after this fight." ”

Under Xiao Ao's tight defense, Shaq shot a series-high 18 times, got a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds, grabbed his former shadow, and played the second place in the regular season MVP.

But helplessly Wade and Eddie. Jones is really lagging his feet, and the Heat are shooting only 40.6% from the field and 23.1% from three-point range today.

With such a low shooting percentage, Wade and Jones have to bear the main responsibility.

Shaq did his best, teammate CBA.

Kobe Bryant felt that this was the best playoff game he had ever seen this year!

Shaq, Shaq, you're right, Wade is indeed better than me.

Even the iron is more broken than my cow!

"Hmph, regret it, Shaq, it's useless for you to regret your intestines, you've lost me forever! Live with your brother Wei for the rest of your life! ”

Tsundere Kobe, who didn't make the playoffs, Milu confidently felt that Shaq, who made it to the division finals, would miss him......

The game was over in the third quarter, as the Pacers had already led the Heat by 22 points.

The entire fourth quarter was pretty much garbage time.

The fans of India City were also agitated because of this.

After five years, the Eastern Conference champions are back in Indianapolis!

This year, no Pistons came out to mess around, no heartbreaking losses.

This team is in perhaps the best form of the team and is heading for the O'Brien Cup.

"This time, there were no surprises! The Indiana Pacers closed the game cleanly at home. 4-2, the Pacers successfully advanced!

This also means that the long-awaited Spurs VS Pacers finals are about to be staged! ”

Popovich's hands trembled as he watched the Pacers players lift the Eastern Conference championship trophy on television.

Bad fate, it's just bad fate!

Wayne couldn't help but cheer as he watched the suit-clad Bird lift the Eastern Conference championship trophy above his head.

It's only a division champion, but it's also a champion, so I'm very happy!

But just as he was about to reach for the championship trophy, a sudden ringing in his ears rang.

This...... After many days, it's finally time to work again!

Wayne hurriedly called up the mission interface and took a look, obediently......

This time it was exciting.

This task reward is actually related to stupidity!
