Chapter 408: Ownership of the Championship (continued)
Stern is very happy to play like this, it would be better if the Spurs were replaced by the Clippers, the president can't help but feel a little sorry when he thinks of this, a good team is going to fall apart, and he wasted all his efforts last offseason!
If it is the Clippers and Thunder who enter the Western Conference finals this year, then Stern will definitely make the game between the two teams play seven games, no matter what method is used, the collision of the two Young Guards must be very exciting. ≦ to see the latest ≧≦ chapters≧≦ Baidu ≧≦ search for ≧≦ products≧≦ books≧≦ online ≧
And the two teams also have great highlights, such as Durant who entered the league a year earlier, Westbrook who entered the league in the same year, and Huang Yu's draft pick is high for both of them, but Huang Yu has won 3 championships, and he has also won a lot of personal achievements such as MVP and FMVP! On the other hand, the two of the Thunder together did not have as many honors as Huang Yu alone.
But it's useless to say anything now, the Clippers finally formed a pseudo-Big Three lineup, which will disintegrate in less than a year, of course, there is a large part of the reason for Sterling, but the Clippers' three star players do not make a clear statement is also the main reason for the split of the team.
Paul wants blood James left and right, but he has to be alone at critical moments, if he has James's scoring ability, even if he loses in the end, there will be no voice to blame, but even if it is not the series between the Spurs and the Clippers, the few games with the Grizzlies, Huang Yu is absent, Griffin is dumb, and Paul himself failed to move, Paul led the team to lead the Hornets to the playoffs in the past few years, regardless of consumption, often played more than 40 minutes, and the best result was also the second round, and the result was injured the next year to play a season.
On the other hand, Huang Yu can be said to be amazing data, such a player can do anything in the regular season, but if he really enters the playoffs, he may be able to stumble through the first round, but the team that can enter the second round or even the semifinals, that team without a defensive giant, once Huang Yu's scoring efficiency declines and there is no scoring point that can stand up, it is only a matter of time before he loses.
As for Griffin, the president can't see his future now, it's not that he doesn't want to predict, but a player like him who eats on his body, the ups and downs will be very sudden, and the slap in the face Mr. President has done enough in his life, Ma is going to retire and let go of everything, so let the face have a good rest!
However, thinking of retirement, Mr. President slowly fell into the memory that he had been in the NBA for many years
"Congratulations Russell, you're in the finals, come on and win the championship!"
After the fifth battle between the Spurs and the Thunder, Huang Yu called Westbrook to congratulate him.
"Don't make a fuss, although I'm glad you said that, but it's just 3-2 now, and you can't take it lightly!"
Westbrook said seriously, but Huang Yu, who has known him for so many years, knows how happy this thing is now!
Westbrook's performance in the first few games was not very good, with points without assists, assists without points, and no points for assists, and the hit rate was frighteningly low.
But the battle of Tianwang Mountain Westbrook did not drop the chain, the Thunder three less and cut 70 points, overturned the Spurs on the road, and also gave the Spurs the third game of the playoffs, of course, it was also three consecutive kneeling!
The playoffs have always been about who takes the lead in winning the away game, the greater the chance of winning the series, such as winning all the first two home games in the series, and winning one of the next two away games, it will make the balance of victory tilt in your favor, if it is three consecutive wins, then the goddess of victory is at least ninety percent on your side, as long as you win one game can sweep the opponent, and the myth of being overturned 3-0 in NBA history has not yet appeared, 1-3 is quite a lot.
----------
"I'm serious, Russell, you have a good chance of reaching the Finals, you must know that the Spurs haven't won the championship in several years~!"
Although Huang Yu said so, he added a sentence in his heart, "At least not yet".
Although it has been mythical that the Spurs only won the championship in even-numbered years, sports competitions don't believe in this, but it's still nice to hear that Huang Yu is so confident in himself.
"Oh! By the way, you called me, not just to congratulate me on winning Tianwang Mountain, right? ”
Westbrook reflected, you must know that Huang Yu has not shown up for almost half a month in order to avoid reporters! The Clippers players have been interviewed almost all over again, but he has never been found.
"Ugh! That's right, Russell, you must help me fix Chalmers when you get into the finals, this thing actually tweeted congratulations on my exit! ”
Huang Yu said unhappily on the other end of the phone.
"Oh my God, that was a few days ago, are you going to be a primitive?"
Westbrook was shocked, which guy from Chalmers tweeted congratulations to Huang Yu on getting out of the playoffs, and that was the day after the fourth game between the Clippers and the Spurs, did Huang Yu see it?
"Uh, Russell, you think too much, I saw that you can probably win the Spurs, so I asked you, otherwise it would be a shame if you agreed and were eliminated by the Spurs, you said yes!"
Listening to the slightly twisted words on the other end of the phone, Westbrook was about to explode.
"Get out, take a taxi, if you don't have a car, you can fly * roll!"
"Drop! ~Drip! ~Drip! ~Drip! ~Drip! ~”
There was a busy tone on the phone.
"Stingy!"
Huang Yu muttered, threw away his bath towel, jumped into the water suddenly, and when he put his head out of the water again, he came directly to Ai who was sitting on the other side!
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Ai looking into the distance, Huang Yu couldn't help asking.
"Honey, why is there such a big gap between the rich and the poor in such a beautiful place!
Ai said with a melancholy expression.
"I don't know about this, to be honest, if it weren't for you wanting to come here, I wouldn't have come to this country at all, this country doesn't like Chinese people at all, and I don't want to know why the gap between the rich and the poor is poor."
After Huang Yu finished speaking, he leaned back and slowly floated to the middle of the pool.
What Ai wants to do Huang Yu knows very well, so he directly blocked what Ai was going to say next, although Huang Yu set up a foundation under his subordinates, but Huang Yu would rather take the money back to Huaxia to build some hope primary schools, even if some moths are greedy, he will not use the money here.
Huang Yu thought he was going to sleep on the sofa, but he didn't know if Ai had figured it out or planned to settle accounts after the autumn, so he still let Huang Yu sleep in bed.
If it is Huaxia's girlfriend Huang Yu, it is estimated that only someone will die on the sofa, and it is even possible to put you to bed, but it is possible to kick you down in the middle of the night! There is no way that now feminism is no longer satisfied with the treatment of half the sky, and some feminists have turned into mad dogs, and it is really terrible to catch and bite!
Holding Ai in his arms, Huang Yu gave Ai Kop a little bit about the Indian * Chinese exclusion incident, as well as the death toll and property damage in these incidents, and then Ai shrunk into the quilt with a guilty face, and swayed a cheap smile, he didn't check those information in the toilet in vain just now.
----------
Huang Yu continued to live his fairy life, but the Finals have entered the white-hot stage, and after the Thunder defeated the Spurs and gave him three consecutive defeats, the Eastern Heat also came to a three-in-a-row kneel.
The collision of the old and new giants has always been the topic of hype in the East Finals, but Bosh has always been injured and absent, which overshadows the matchup, especially the average performance of Wade in the first two games, and the Heat's two consecutive defeats, which made many media sing the Heat.
So in the key game of Game 5, Bosh returned, and the Heat formed the strongest lineup.
Although the Heat returned to their home court after two consecutive defeats, the fans did not lose faith in them, and when Bosh came off the bench, the fans in the audience cheered and applauded him.
Bosh didn't rush to show himself after his comeback, but continued to adapt, making his first shot after three minutes of debut, turning around and hitting the board from close range.
A minute later, Bosh faced Garnett's defense, hooked up and drew a foul on Garnett, and scored three points with free throws to give the Heat a double-digit lead at 24-13.
At the beginning of the second quarter, although James was very aggressive, most of the Heat's attacks were in his hands, although the first 7 points were scored by him, but this caused others to feel cold, and the Heat only scored 1 point on free throws in the next three minutes.
The Celtics took the opportunity to score 8 points in a row and successfully narrowed the gap to 5 points, at this time Bosh, who performed well in the first quarter, appeared again, Garnett wanted to avenge the first quarter at this time, and in the face of Garnett, who had a strong desire to attack, Bosh had to put more of his physical strength on the defensive end.
Bosh was defensive, Wade was cold on 4-0 shots, James' shooting rate also dropped, and the Heat failed to score in the final four minutes of the quarter, leading by just two points at 42-40 at halftime.
----------
The Heat's role players had a good third quarter, midway through the quarter, Battier hit a three-pointer and Haslem followed up with a hook shot to put the Heat back up 59-50.
It's a pity that the Heat's offense failed to continue, and in the last 6 minutes of the quarter, they failed to shoot again, and the Celtics' "Big Three" took turns attacking and gradually exceeded the score. With 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the quarter, Garnett Road received the ball, the defender didn't have time to follow, he flew and dunked, and when Jones chased the defense, it was too late, and he took a foul, Garnett made a free throw, and the Celtics chased the score to 60-60, which was their first draw in the game.
Petrus also hit a basket after that, and Durin made a three-pointer to put the Celtics up 65-60 after three quarters.
The scoring advantage that the Heat had built up with great difficulty disappeared without a trace, and the two teams fell into a tug-of-war at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
didn't score a point in the third quarter, and in the first half of the fourth quarter, he still didn't believe in evil, shot 1 out of 4, and successfully pulled his life rate down a little bit, and in the first three quarters, Rondo only had 4 assists, but there were also 4 turnovers.
Probably knowing that his performance was the same, Rondo focused on passing and defending, sending a series of wonderful passes to help the Celtics gain the advantage in the tug-of-war.
The team was tied several times, and with 52.9 seconds left, Pierce hit a three-pointer under James' tight defense to give the Celtics a 90-86 lead.
After each team missed a goal, Wade forced a foul with 15.2 seconds left before the end of the game, and made two free throws to close the gap to two points. Unfortunately, it was too late, the Heat had to foul, and Ray Allen also made two free throws.
The Heat had no solution, and although James broke through to score, the Celtics didn't have a problem with free throws. The Heat then missed a three-pointer and missed a chance.
So far, the process of the Eastern and Western finals has been exactly the same, with the originally underdog team taking the top spot 3-2.
----------
While the situation became clearer, some commentators began to boldly predict the ownership of the championship, and Huang Yu looked at those comments with disdain.
If the Spurs enter the Finals, then they can play a few rounds against the Heat Big Three or the Celtics Big Three, and even have a Finals tie-break.
But if the Thunder make it to the Finals, it's a send-off! Maybe the Thunder can take advantage of the situation to win a game, but then they will be pressed to the ground by the Heat and rubbed with rich experience!
Although Huang Yu remembered that the Thunder defeated the Spurs to enter the Finals, and he also hoped that the Thunder could reach the Finals in his heart, but the championship is over, it's a big deal to take Westbrook to play in the future, if the guy who loves to drink bathwater wins the championship, the media should stir up the topic of the league's No. 1 small forward, as for James, since he went to Miami to huddle, the No. 1 small forward is rarely mentioned, of course, the most important thing is that the Heat will often put him in the No. 4 position.
The Spurs were forced to have no way out, 3-2 and they were kneeling three times in a row, completely at a disadvantage, now in this situation, either win or go back to their hometown, if the Spurs still have reservations before, today they released all their power, from the beginning, crazy bombardment of the Thunder's basket.
Ginoli continued to start, hitting an opening three-pointer followed by two follow-up shots from distance, and all three offenses came from Parker's assists. Parker then attacked on his own, hitting four straight shots in 85 seconds to give the Spurs a 15-8 lead.
The Spurs' ammunition arsenal had just opened, and Parker not only hit the basket in a row, but even shot three-pointers, and by the end of the second quarter, he had 17 points and five assists. The Thunder were a little flustered under the Spurs' frantic attack, and they suffered from gains and losses in the offense, with more turnovers, and the gap between the two teams reached 18 points at most. After the first quarter, the Thunder could only chase the score to 20-34.
Gary Neal did not travel with the team to the city because of an injury, and then arrived by plane himself. He started the second quarter with a three-pointer, Harden just hit a three-pointer, and Jackson Ma shot from distance. From the first quarter to the first three minutes of the quarter, the Spurs shot a whopping 63 percent. With 7:13 left in the quarter, Ginoli hit another three-pointer to give the Spurs a 48-30 lead.
The Spurs' shooting percentage finally dropped after that, and the Thunder narrowed the gap to 13 points several times. Durant hit a three-pointer at the end of the quarter and the Thunder trailed 48-63 at halftime.
The Spurs shot 54.5% in the half, shooting 9 out of 15 three-pointers, Jackson who came off the bench broke out, shooting 4 three-pointers and scoring 12 points, Parker had 21 points and 10 assists, and the bombardment in the half court directly blinded the Thunder.
