Chapter 906: The Finals Begin

"So it's already decided? Is it really impossible for Steve to make it to the finals? D'Antoni's issue is also a team-wide concern. Without Nash, the overall offensive strength of the Lakers will decline by at least 2~3 percent. The offensive storm in Los Angeles since the playoffs has become "history".

There are still a lot of problems with this Lakers team, especially the overall problem, which is not obvious when there is Nash, because it is forcibly connected, and there is no more? The Lakers' first 5,060 games in the regular season are a true portrayal, fighting alone, and all kinds of core explosions can fight until Nash's comeback. However, there is also someone who breathes a sigh of relief, and that is Gasol. It's not that he's so dark and insidious in his heart, but he's also hoping that Steve. Nash is fine. But...... You can't deny one thing that there's Steve. When Nash, the Lakers' tactical play, he was very uncomfortable. Quite uncomfortable.

Because he is now old and no longer has the mobility and physical strength of his youth, a large part of the reason why he can play the "second spring" state in the Bulls in the future is that he can play in the Bulls. The Bulls' tactical system is a good fit for Gasol at this age. Slow-paced, positional warfare, plus the inside line and "black. Hard. Coarse" Noah lining, everything is the most suitable environment for Gasol.

And you have to admit that Gasol at this age is definitely not suitable for playing D'Antoni's system.

Whether it is the original time and space or the current time and space, it is the same, he will only play awkward and uncomfortable in this system, so without Nash, he will be able to play a little. Ironically, if it is a pile of stars who cannot complement each other, it can only be "sacrificed" by some stars who are not well adapted. Gasol is good for the triangle attack, but he is not suitable for "running and shooting" and "small ball" now. Of course Tang Qian is OK, Kobe Bryant is back to his full peak, of course it's OK, Nash is the initiator, there are not so many off-ball runs and intersperses, and it is barely enough, and the remaining role players are all under 30 years old. So really count it down, the person who doesn't adapt well, that is, the Spanish Tower, Paul. Gasol too. You have to understand that not everyone can fit all systems. It's as strong as James, why don't you try the "James system"? The power and effect will also be greatly reduced.

This is human nature, Gasol is still a professional player after all, he needs to rely on this to eat, he is completely selfless, that is unrealistic.

"Yes, Steve's condition has been checked in detail, and we can't exercise vigorously for at least half a year." Gary. "Actually, the injury is not to the extent that it needs surgery, but you know, Steve is over 40 years old, if he is in his 20s, I think he can force the injury to play, but 40 years old...... Human functions are no longer sufficient. He'll need to recover for at least that long. This is still a relatively conservative estimate. ”

"Really?" When D'Antoni heard this, his eyes flashed with unconcealable disappointment, which means that he can only be a "hands-off shopkeeper" in the finals. The team's control is back to the way it was at the beginning of the season.

"I'm sorry, Mike, I'm sorry, guys, I ...... at such a critical time" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Lakers: "What do you say, Steve, it's hard to say whether we can enter the Finals now without you, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"yes."

"I don't need it."

"Ugh." Nash suddenly sighed while lying on the bed, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe, I don't have the life to stand on the highest stage." Seeing Nash like this, no one laughed anymore, because everyone knew that this was probably the last chance for the 40-year-old man, but fate played a big joke on him at this time.

This is really a bit cruel.

This is a mood and state of mind that can hardly be experienced by a player who can play.

"Anyway, let's come on, let's cheer with my share, and by the way, let me 'lie down and win' a ring."

……

When I left, basically everyone was in a dull mood, and the loss of Nash in the finals became an established fact.

But the game continues, and the Lakers' schedule this season does not end there.

In the past few days, the NBA's official promotional video has also been released, and it is said that this promotional video costs several times more than the previous Finals promotional video. Looks like David. Stern is really ready to do the ultimate big ticket in his last term.

23vs24, this is almost his ultimate long-cherished wish, and it is also the trump card drama he once wanted to create into the "black and white double evil" and "magic bird duel" in the 80s, but every time because of various accidents, one party always missed the appointment in the finals. This time, it worked.

Moreover, the drama of both sides is so sufficient.

The Miami Heat, currently 4 finals, 2 consecutive championships, if they win another championship, they will create a generation of legendary "Miami Dynasty". What a great honor? You must know that it has been more than ten years since the last dynasty, and the alliance has been divided for more than ten years, and it is in urgent need of a super legend to hold up the scene. James is only 2,829 years old at the moment, which is the golden peak of basketball players. Jordan's Throne of God.

Similarly, the Los Angeles Lakers, who failed to assemble a luxury roster last season and suffered a torn Achilles tendon, rose up this season with a legend that everyone was not optimistic about, fought all the way, and finally ended with the first record in the league. In the Western Conference Finals, after falling behind 0-3 with a big score, he chased four sets in a row, creating the largest series comeback record in NBA history. So legendary, just as sufficient.

What's more, this season, Kobe Bryant didn't know how, he played the "strongest season in history", and he won the honor of one defense + MVP + scoring champion for a while, so it wasn't that James bullied him for his old age. Strong battle, strong matchup, is there anything more amazing and more exciting than this?

It's a pity that James has now changed to No. 6, so the gimmick can only become 6vs24.

Don't you know, as soon as this promotional video came out, the entire media and network exploded, as if all of a sudden, all the basketball topics became 6vs24, Miami Heat VS Los Angeles Lakers. Unlike the original time and space Spurs vs. the Heat, the Spurs are still short of stars, and Duncan has long since taken a back seat. What about the Lakers? It's the opposite.

Cormi and Jamie are estimated to be the two with the most fans on the global Internet.

I'm sorry, Jordan didn't have this developed network in that era, and the generation that watched Jordan ball was already old, and they didn't have so much energy from young people to tear up the Internet.

All kinds of saliva stickers seem to have sprung up wildly overnight.

Who is better Kobe Bryant or James?

Who is more useless teammate Kobe Bryant or James?

Who is the better of Kobe Bryant or James?

If you were a teammate of Kobe Bryant and James, who would you choose to play with?

In all fairness, can non-FMVP champions and MVPs be of equal value?

And the point you get in, it's something like that:

James is at the pinnacle of huddles, Kobe Bryant's second ring, James is efficient, Kobe is a blacksmith, Kobe Bryant 5>2......

It's like a grudge for many years, and it always explodes in one breath.

Especially now, James only has 2 championship rings, and he can't suppress Kobe's situation on the surface, so the fans on both sides are fighting fiercely.

I heard that there are foreign countries where Comi and Jammy pulled out their guns and shot each other because of a quarrel!

I heard that there are roommates in China who are Comi and Jamie fighting each other!

I heard that the canteen is going to temporarily increase security guards to come and inspect!

I heard that the odds and fighting probabilities on the basketball court have skyrocketed!

……

Anyway, right now, the basketball circle has been stirred into a pot of porridge by the names of these two people.

Tang Qian also has a lot of fans in China, but because his current "magnitude" is not enough, he is happy to be idle, and most of his fans have been converted into Kobe Bryant's supporters because of Tang Qian's Lakers.

No way, who told Tang Qian that he was not in Miami.

As a fan, you always have to love the house and Wu, right?

ESPN、. T, Yahoo and other relatively large sports media also urgently arranged a "SHO" to keep up with the people's enthusiasm and began to write about the Lakers and Heat.

It's another typical queue turmoil.

If you follow more deeply, you will know that these media are also biased.

For example, Kobe Bryant has his own "mouthpiece", the Los Angeles Times, Lakers Nation, bleachers, etc., and James is ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc., if you open these media and look at their reports, in general, you will find obvious favoritism.

So the result right now is, if you like the Heat or James, then go to ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Miami Herald. If you like the Lakers or Kobe Bryant, then you can go to the Los Angeles Times, Lakers Republic, Bleachers, . T Sports. But overall, it is still the "mouthpiece" of James's side that is more authoritative and influential, so the overall voice, James and the Heat still have to overpower Kobe and the Lakers.

As for the "tragic situation" in China, it is not to mention it.

Compared with the United States, it can only be said that it is more than good.

Of course, at this time, the interviews of the players on both sides are also naturally coming, which is also the main source of material for the "war of words" in the finals every year.

Some well-known classic remarks and classic examples are also concentrated before and after the finals, concentrated outbreaks and concentrated amplification.

Take Duncan's "The future is yours". For example, Kobe Bryant's "I'm going to rip Philadelphia's heart out" (this made Kobe himself booed every time he went to Philadelphia, until he took his championship ring). For example, "Iverson across Tyron. Lu". For example, "Reed's Return". For example, "Qiao Shen Flu Battle". It's impossible to count.

And during this time, the players "hate each other", which is also a major attraction.

After all, they all want to take the lead.

"I'm still saying that, since I'm here in Miami, I'm going to build a dynasty, and I'm going to win seven championships for the city! And now you know that it's only the second one! Until I get the remaining five, I won't let Miami be beaten by any opponent! It doesn't matter who the opponent is. James spoke.

"The Lakers are strong, but we're going to win because we're 'now'!" Now' belongs to Miami, not to Los Angeles! "I really like Wade, who pretends to be forced, speaks.

"All I know is that now we are the defending champions." Bosh, one of the Big Three, spoke out.

Of course, the Lakers will not show weakness for these Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian both opened their mouths to fight back:

"The reason why Miami won the championship before was because they didn't meet Los Angeles and didn't meet the Lakers."

"James is absolutely impossible to complete the dynasty, at least in Miami! I bet with you! ”

"Do you think this series will go to a tie-break? NONONO~Impossible~ Because all the spirit of grabbing seven in my life was used up in the last round~ I don't want to fight for seven-tie anymore, it's the same for everyone! ”

Then the next day, these words also reached each other's ears through the "journalists".

"The Lakers are strong, but they can't beat us! Because Miami has my KING in! We are destined to become a dynasty! ”

"I agree with LeBron's first half of the sentence, but the latter part, I just want to say, he thinks too much. I'm still saying the same thing, with me, he doesn't want to win the championship! Well, it's that simple! Who will win if I go head-to-head with him? Of course it's me, I'll be alone with my eyes closed, okay? He's called LeBron instead of Michael. ”

"I'm stronger than I was last year, and I have my Miami brothers, we're a brotherhood!"

"Brotherhood? Why don't you say it's a fraternity? Last year he said that he was 50 times stronger than in '07, so now he is 100 times stronger than '07? Did he think he was watching Dragon Ball? (This comic is a huge hit in the United States.,Basically to the extent that everyone knows.,Collect seven dragon balls to summon the dragon.,Lao Mei's Twitter is the source of this meme) I'm looking forward to a James whose combat power has increased 100 times to challenge me.。 Yes, that's what I Tang Qian said, no need to fight a horse, the camera is facing me, I like to talk to people who pretend to be failures! ~James, under the Lakers' basket, I'm waiting for you! ”

All in all, this game has not yet started, and the rendering of all aspects has basically reached the extreme.

The two major traffic kings of the new century each led the team, and the finals finally got together. Stern doesn't even need to be counted to know that this year's NBA Finals ratings, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, are going to break the historical record!

Maybe even for years to come, this will be a monument that will be difficult to break.

The day before the start of the finals, Tang Qianqian reported his safety to his family, and at the same time sent a text message to the rest of the familiar people:

Don't contact me until the finals are over, I'm not available during this time, and I won't turn on the camera.

And this habit has also become one of the most talked about habits of Tang Qian in the future.

Later generations of fans called "Total Decisive Tang" or "Shutdown Tang", which is an extension of this.

On June 5, 2014, US time, the NBA Finals officially began.

The Lakers, who have the home court advantage, took the lead in welcoming the defending champion, the Miami Heat.
