Chapter 307: The Quality of Modesty

Historically, teams have come back 2-0.

This gives the Magic team proof of the existence of a comeback, for that glimmer of hope.

Even if there is no 2-0 comeback, the Magic have a chance to be the first team, right?

Just looking at the Kings fans who are in ecstasy, there always seems to be a feeling that they have won the game?

The Amway Center fans began to leave the stadium, and it was a terrible night that no one wanted to recall, and in the final loss to the Kings in a crucial matchup.

Before the game, it was thought that the two teams could go toe-to-toe, and now there is a lot of wonder if the Magic can take a game away from Sacramento.

Originally, Orlando fans also questioned that the league's best coach should also have Stan Van Gundy's name. But now that the game is over, the fans don't want to talk about it anymore. Any coach, after actually meeting Wang Mingming, there is a feeling of superiority, this is not Stan Van Gundy's problem, judging from the performance of previous famous coaches such as Gentry and Adelman, this has almost become a common problem.

"Sit down."

At the post-match press conference, Wang Ming motioned for everyone to sit down, which was just a routine operation.

"Well, yes, the players played a great game, and I saw the resilience of Sacramento, which probably represents a king spirit, a western spirit."

If you win and blow yourself, if you lose, you blow the other side, Wang Mingming's set of words is already familiar to reporters.

"Coach Wang, can you comment on Dwight Howard's performance? It was the second Grand Final of his career. Orlando's media stood up, and despite the loss, Howard had a big double-double of 26 points and 18 rebounds in this game, which was on par with a bunch of celebrities, which was the only point of consolation in Orlando.

Wang Ming nodded: "Of course, Dwight is the most talented young man I have ever seen, you may have seen the depth of the sea, but you never know the limits of the sky, Dwight he has improved, compared to the first game, this game, he is obviously more mature, and he has caused us great difficulties on the inside." I remember there was an empty receiver who turned around, oh my god, his whole head was going to go over the basket, talent, I think he had a chance to dominate the league in the future, yes, he's Duncan's successor. ”

The media in Orlando were satisfied, and their gaze at Wang Mingming softened a lot.

Hey, if you lose, you lose, after all, your skills are not as good as others, but at least Coach Wang Mingming is very friendly, and seeing that Coach Wang Mingming praised Howard so much, he looked very appreciative.

Wait a minute........

After the reporter sat down, his pupils contracted suddenly, and Coach Wang Mingming's words had just mentioned Duncan, and a trace of horror flashed on his face.

Who is Duncan, Duncan is a living fossil of the Spurs, one of the league's greatest interior players in the past decade, a four-time champion in the league, and Duncan's successor, isn't that optimistic that Howard can win the championship in the future? If it's just appreciation, there's no need to build momentum for Howard like this, right? And if you win the championship, the first thing to go through should not be Wang Mingming's pass? If appreciation becomes a liking, and the strong join forces with each other........

Could it be that Wang Mingming's real intention is to coach "Warcraft" in the future? Create another dynasty team?

Thinking of this, this reporter felt a burst of excitement from the depths of his heart, this is big news, everyone's eyes are on the game, only he has a unique vision, sees through Wang Mingming's true thoughts, and sees through the future situation of this alliance!

Wang Ming was stunned, he didn't know what was wrong with this reporter, he just felt that his complexion kept changing, and it was extremely strange.

At this time, other media raised questions, and Wang immediately set his sights on reporters from other media tomorrow, and several female reporters were extremely informative.

.......

The Kings celebrated the evening and flew back to Sacramento the next day.

At the Sacramento airport, the Kings team seemed to have won the championship, and they were warmly welcomed by the fans, and there was an unexpected pick-up service.

"There is still such an operation." Wang was also surprised tomorrow, and it was rare for him to be picked up by fans in the series.

He took a closer look, and the fans were holding photos of the King's entire team, including headshots of Wang Mingming, Kidd and others, as well as a sign that read: "Welcome home the Kings' Warriors." ”

"We're warriors." DeRozan was a little excited, the young man's nose was sour, and his sense of identity with the city and the team rose infinitely.

Wang Ming waved his hand, smiled and led everyone away.

The fans were reluctant to disperse for a long time.

"Gotta win for the Kings." On the bus, DeRozan and others were still in turmoil, everyone chatted about the pick-up of fans, and basically everyone had their own supporters coming.

"Let's take a break when we go back, and tomorrow we will start preparing for the G3 match, and this time, no one will hinder us anymore and won't let us use the stadium."

Wang Ming said, and shrugged his shoulders.

Kidd replied with a smile: "Even if we weren't allowed to use the pitch for training, we still beat them." ”

Everyone laughed and talked about it, and it was indeed with relish.

Wang Ming frowned and didn't say much, but his tone still became a little harsh: "Although we are 2-0 ahead, the challenge will still come, a few years ago, the Mavericks were overturned after leading 2-0." I don't want to see anyone late for tomorrow's training. ”

When everyone heard Wang Mingming's stern tone, their hearts suddenly sank, and they didn't dare to smile anymore, and suddenly became serious.

........

On June 8th, the G3 battle of the finals.

It was held on time and punctually inside the Arco Arena in Sacramento.

Summer is coming, the grand sporting events make fans feel the excitement of summer even more, and the playoffs that lasted for a month and a half are now coming to an end, and all basketball fans are focused on the series.

This is a grand stage, and every move of the players will be infinitely magnified.

On this stage, the stars of the team will be the only publicity point for the league's news, and all the news containing the stars of the two teams will be pushed at the top.

Helicopters flew over the Arco Arena, and the stadium was full of people.

The two teams are very familiar with each other, and in the third meeting, the Kings have the advantage of the home court.

said that it was the advantage of occupying the home court, but from the perspective of the league, it is definitely not willing to watch the Magic team be swept like this, and a few fewer games will cost the league a lot less income.

What's more, the more anxious the event is conducive to the improvement of the broadcast performance.

However, on the home court of the Kings, all the referee can do is be impartial.

That's good news for the Magic players, and the rest of the equation is the threat on both ends of the floor and the pressure created by the fans.

Before the game, Lewis said that he wanted to change the sluggish performance of the first two games, and in the opening attack, Lewis used a change of pace in the strong attack to easily cut Chris Bosh, and then he scored points in the relay in the fast break twice, and there was a slam dunk in the air, which led to a 6-0 start for the Magic.

Artay's back-to-back fouls on both ends of the floor exacerbated the Kings' poor start as the Magic led 12-5 after the half.

Wang didn't expect the referee to be so biased tomorrow, Artest, he could only replace Cosby and Magic to attack, and more importantly, there was one less gate on the outside.

After the timeout, the scene took a clear turn, Kidd broke through to face Nelson with a three-pointer successfully, forcing Nelson to also commit two fouls to the intermission, which can be regarded as the referee's balance, Chris Bosh also hit a shot, and the Kings used the transition offense to score consecutive points. Vince Carter, who had an excellent performance in the last quarter of the last game, lost all 5 shots in a single quarter under the strict defense of DeRozan and others, and although Howard scored twice, he was still unable to stop the Kings from accumulating a 21-5 offensive momentum, and the Kings led 26-17 at the end of the first quarter.

The Kings continued their momentum early in the second quarter, with Bosh and Uudri hitting three-pointers one after another, and the Kings extended their advantage to 37-20. Redick made a long-range shot and a close-range basket to alleviate the Magic's situation. Led by Redick and Howard, the Magic trailed 29-37 midway through the second quarter, but Kidd helped Bosh get a dunk to solidify the Kings.

In the latter part of the second quarter, the two sides fought around a double-digit point difference, and Boshk even had a strong attack to ensure that the Lakers scored more points; Carter didn't shoot in the second quarter, scoring 0 points at halftime, and Garcia hit only 1 three-pointer on 8 shots in the first half. At halftime, the Kings led 52-40.

Vince Carter, who was always on the Kings' tight defense, still missed consecutive shots early in the third quarter, but only used free throws to open; Howard's strong offense continued, free throws increased points, and he went head-to-head with the Kings. Although Garcia hit a three-pointer, he quickly received a fourth foul and had to go out to adjust.

In the tug-of-war between the two sides around the seven-point difference, Chandler and DeRozan successively sent blocks to Lewis; After Blanton-Buss forced a strong attack to cut the deficit to five points, Kidd quickly responded with a three-pointer to secure a 67-61 lead for the Kings at the end of the third quarter.

Just entering the final quarter, Garcia was judged to be the fifth foul when he was competing with Artey, but under the continuous impact of Lewis and Nelson, the Magic chased it to 67-68; Bosh then scored three straight goals to help the Kings rebuild their advantage 76-70. After Howard hit a three-pointer, Garcia hit a long-range shot and the Magic continued to chase after him.

Howard led the Celtics to 80-82 with two minutes into the final quarter. After Bosh returned the shot, the ball was knocked out of bounds by Bosh when Lewis attacked and held, and the referee ruled the king after negotiation; In the Kings' offense, Artest and Carter fought for the ball and went out of bounds, and the referee awarded the ball to the Magic after negotiation, but Carter still missed the long shot, and Bosh hit a fast three-pointer, and the Kings took a decisive lead in 48.87 seconds in the final quarter.

Although Garcia then formed a three-point opportunity, but with Howard attacking the foul, the Magic resorted to foul tactics and was powerless.

In the end, the Kings won the game 91-84.

3-0, the Kings won the match point, the Magic team worked hard for the whole game, almost turned the tables, but lost the game again, Howard looked at the court with blank eyes, but his soul had already flown away.

ESPN circled the comparison chart, Shaquille O'Neal, who reached the Finals for the first time that year, also fell behind 0-3 when facing the Rockets, and was finally swept by the Rockets, creating a great center matchup in the history of the Finals.

But this time, Howard was more like being beaten by the Kings, who have played well in every game, and this one was a performance by Chris Bosh, who scored a game-high 35 points, added 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, and dominated the game on both ends of the floor.

And the Magic outside line was a mess, Carter was blocked by DeRozan, and Garcia faced Cosby, but he couldn't play as well as he should.

The two rookies of the Kings played better than the old fritters.

The fans were cheering, the dawn of victory was already beckoning to the king, and the dream of the championship finally appeared in front of everyone after more than 50 years.

......

Two days later, June 10.

2010 Finals G4 Battle.

The Kings defeated the Magic 103-97 with the cheers of the fans, won the last game, and won the championship this season!

The full-time whistle blew and the whole of Sacramento went crazy.

Everyone rushed into the field, around the King's players, around the King's uniform group, around the King's mascot, and celebrated wildly.

Champagne fills the sky, streamers fly, and at this moment, everyone enjoys the joy of victory.

"We are champions!"

"We are champions!"

The Kings players tightly surrounded Wang Mingming, and everyone put their arms together, as if they were doing a pre-game ritual, circled around, and roared loudly.

A season's hard work is actually a lifetime of pursuit.

Jason Kidd, Artest, Tyson Chandler, these players who have been in the league for many years are already tearful and excited at the moment.

Especially Jason Kidd, holding Wang Mingming, kept thanking him.

"Thank you, coach, thank you ......."

Last summer, Kidd struggled with the Mavericks, and although he eventually fell out with the Mavericks over money, he reckons to stay with the Mavericks if Wang doesn't come to him tomorrow, after all, that's the only way he can think of working with the supergiant.

Later, Wang took him to Sacramento, a small, little-known city that he probably never saw at the height of his career.

This year, he seems to be back at the top, and this year, he has enjoyed what is a real game.

Kidd feels that Wang Mingming is the most amazing and strongest coach he has ever experienced, such as Wang Mingming's employment in every game, there are almost no mistakes, who is in good shape and who is not in good shape, Wang Mingming can see through it at a glance, which greatly facilitates the Kings team to play the strongest strength.

Although Wang has repeatedly emphasized that it is the efforts of the Kings players themselves, the more he says so, the more the Kings players feel that the coach is humble.

"Yes, they Chinese are good at everything, they are too modest, and the coach is like this, without the coach, there will definitely be no champion."

Later, in an interview to celebrate the victory parade, Chris Bosh said.
