Maddie's lack of calm became a major issue at the subsequent press conference, where Maddie did not even show up at the press conference.

Hu Qingniu was happy to be idle, and handed over the situation to the silver-haired old fox Pat Riley, who was already silver-haired, with long guns and short cannons aimed at him, Riley tried his best to explain the situation, and Hu Qingniu left the field early.

The mentality this year is completely different from last year, where the team was clearly not dominant and did not have a home advantage. And the Pistons are united, and the willpower of the players is much stronger than that of the Bobcats.

This year, the Bobcats have experienced Big Mac O'Neal at the helm, and Wade is no longer a rookie egg. The main player of the team is much stronger than last year.

On the contrary, on the Heat's side, Maddie is still in the really scorching playoffs for the first time. The Eastern Conference Finals are certainly not comparable to the first round. Carter, although experienced, was choked by Tony Allen's "glove-style" kraft candy defense inherited from Payton.

The cousin combination is the core of the team, and although Weber is the central axis of the inner line, he does not have the strong pulling force of the outside line, and he cannot take any advantage of the big one.

The news of the team's cancer was overwhelming, and Maddie didn't expect her impulsive actions to cause such an uproar. You know, there are only two sets of matchups left in the league now, and either group will get a lot more attention than before.

Otherwise, why say that the playoffs are the stage for superstars, the entire 82 games of the regular season are actually not as impressive as a series in the end. Many of the players who have exploded in the playoffs will be able to get good contracts on the free market for the rest of the day. Hu Qingniu was most impressed by Biyombo, who won a four-year, $72 million contract from the Magic by stealing rebounds from the Cavaliers.

What happened then was that Maddie officially apologized to the fans, explaining that she was too impulsive for her irrational behavior. Riley also came out to help, he has experienced strong winds and waves, he has seen too many young players lose their temper, although it was to dump him in the face, but he really didn't take it to heart. Anyway, the Heat team looks like a harmonious mess, which only enhances the sense of cohesion.

Not long after the incident with the Heat, the Eastern and Western finals were played alternately, that is, on alternate days.

The report came from the Western Conference finals, and Ginobili made a layup to beat the Rockets, with a score of 85:83, an ultra-low score.

The score of the last game was 140:126, and this one fell directly to more than 80 points at the same time, because both sides switched strategies and came up with their own reinforced concrete defense.

Yao Ming, who has played well all the way, was directly offset by Duncan in this game. Both were entangled throughout the game and didn't get many chances.

Yao Ming scored only 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting, the lowest score in the playoffs of his career, and in previous series, Yao Ming was almost always the team's top scorer, and in some games even scored half of the team's points. Fortunately, Yao Ming also got 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, contributing on the defensive end.

Yao Ming didn't score points, Duncan was even worse, you must know that the inside line was originally an inch high and an inch strong, in order to contain Yao Ming, who was 2.26 meters, Duncan only shot 6 baskets in the whole game, hit 3 balls, and scored only 8 points. Similarly, Duncan contributed heavily on the defensive end, with seven blocks and 16 rebounds.

The performances on the offensive end were all handed over to their respective second-in-command, Hardaway of the Rockets and Ginobili of the Spurs.

Hardaway had 23 points and 11 assists in the game, and he was already a good player in such a defensive battle, but he didn't expect Ginobili to score 33 points, a serpentine breakthrough, and a weird layup, which was unheard of.

Hu Qingniu knows that since 04, Ginobili has entered his peak, and the 04-05 season playoffs in history are the playoffs where Ginobili killed all sides, and many people think that the MVP of the 05 finals should be awarded to Ginobili. Ginobili gave people an amazing look in this round of the series, like a peerless assassin flying in a steel castle.

Averaging 20 points per game in a series with an average score of more than 80 points in a round is equivalent to averaging 30 points per game in the 16-17 finals.

In this game, although the Rockets carried it to the end, they still lost to the demon knife out of the sheath.

That layup, maybe Da Yao's hand can be sealed a little longer, or maybe Hardaway can be stopped if he is a little more resolute, but the final result is already a fact. The infinite possibilities of the last moment happen to be the infinite charm of basketball.

The Spurs held on to their home court, and the series score returned to the starting line, 1:1. But the Spurs have lost home-court advantage, and Popovich will have to think carefully about how to deal with Houston's Devils away.

The game is over, but the media is buzzing about one of the topics.

Two consecutive Western Conference Finals rounds have been settled by players from outside the United States. The first was Yao Ming from Asia, and the second was Manu Ginobili from Latin America.

This season, at least three other teams have established a core of stars from outside the United States, Yao Ming of the Rockets, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and Nash of the Suns. Even the troika of the Spurs, Parker is from France, Manu is from Argentina, and Duncan is an American, but he was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands, far from the continental United States.

With these four teams just in the top four in the West, Stern's globalization strategy looks to be paying off. But it also made the American media panic whether the advantage of American basketball in the world would be wiped out if this continued. You know, just 8 months ago, they lost the Olympics.

The rapid rise of Yao Ming, Ginobili and Nowitzki has made Americans worry that whether to protect American basketball has become a topic that can be discussed.

Of course, it didn't take long for the media to put the microphone into Stern's mouth and ask him to talk about what seems to be a serious issue at the moment.

Although Stern is dismissive of this issue, he only cares about the globalization process of the NBA, but he knows that he can't say it bluntly on this issue, and he should use a soft policy and not stimulate the patriotism of most people.

"First of all, I'm very happy to have players from China, from Germany, from Argentina in the NBA that have a high status in the NBA, obviously they are all good players in the world. Like the United States, the NBA also believes in tolerance and is keen to communicate with the world, and I think you don't have to worry about the future of American basketball at all, because our young generation is also rising, Wade, Kobe, Maddy, James, Anthony, Bosh, these are the future of American basketball. History has long proven that closing oneself can only lead to backwardness, and the globalization of the NBA will surely promote the improvement of basketball around the world. ”
