Chapter Ninety-Three: Schedule of Divisional Finals

In the end, the Heat team successfully won the opponent at home 96:94, and eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4:1, although Joe contributed 34 points in the whole game, including 24 points in the second half, and also sent 7 rebounds and 3 assists, but he had no choice but to stop his inside Brook Lopez injury, and Garnett only played 25 minutes due to physical problems, resulting in a relatively empty interior line.

In the face of James, who forced a breakthrough, he could only keep using fouls to stop him from wreaking havoc on the basket, so James got 17 free throw opportunities in this game, hit 15 of them, and finally scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Wade also made eight free throws, making all eight of them, and finished with 28 points.

After the game, Ye Xuan originally wanted to leave the court with the crowd, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a reporter, not only Ye Xuan, but also several main players of the Pacers. In desperation, Coach Frank could only say that he could optionally answer a few questions if it was reasonable.

The reporters on the side couldn't wait, and immediately asked, "Mr. Frank Vogel, why did you come to Miami to watch the game today?" ”

Frank shrugged, "We've advanced to the next round, shouldn't we come to Miami to see where we will be in the next round?" ”

Another reporter immediately asked, "So what did you gain after watching this game?" ”

"All I can say is that it's confidential, so I'm not going to tell you anything."

"So let me put it another way, we all know that you faced the Big Three in the Eastern Conference Finals last season in the playoffs, and you lost in the tiebreaker, and you will face them again this year, is there anything special about you?" ”

Ye Xuan on the side glanced at the reporter's work card, and found that the reporter was from the Miami Herald, and immediately understood that this person had bad intentions, and immediately pulled Coach Frank and then spoke first, "I don't know what it was in the Eastern Conference finals last year, and I don't know how strong the Heat team was before, but after I joined the Pacers, I only played one game with the Heat, and we won that game." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the reporter to continue to ask questions, and directly shouted, "Next." Other reporters on the side immediately asked, "Ye, may I ask today, during the halftime today, did you want to give out benefits to the live spectators?" Or are you just because you don't want to accept money from Miami's home stadium? ”

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "If I don't want the opponent's money in the Eastern Conference Finals, I can directly choose not to shoot the basketball, right, even if I play, I can shoot at will, but I think since I have the ability to shoot this ball, why not share this reward with everyone in the audience?" To be honest, their original intention with this event was to provide a benefit for their fans, and I, with all due respect, am not a Heat fan, so I think it would be a good choice to give this benefit back to the Heat fans in this way. ”

Later, another reporter asked, "Can you predict who will have a better chance of getting a ticket to the finals in the west?" We know yesterday the Spurs advanced to the Western Conference Finals, while the Thunder and Clippers are still competing for the next spot. ”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "In the regular season, we beat the Spurs and won the game with the Clippers, but when facing the Thunder, we were beaten and had no power to fight back, if I want to say my personal opinion, I definitely hope that the Clippers can beat the Thunder and the Spurs and then enter the Finals, but in terms of the current score, the Thunder has a higher chance of advancing to the Western Conference Finals." And if you want to talk about strength, I think the Spurs led by Mr. Popovich should have a better chance of entering the Finals, I feel that their style of play this year is a bit restrained by the Thunder. ”

After being interviewed by several reporters, Coach Frank left Miami with a vote of his disciples. What they never expected was that the next day, a reporter actually issued a report taken out of context such as "The Pacers General Said the Clippers Have No Hope of Turning the Tables" and "Ye Xuan Said No One Is Afraid But the Thunder", which also made Ye Xuan sigh that these unscrupulous paparazzi are really unguardable.

The day before this game, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers again at home with a score of 104-82 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. After the Heat and Nets also split the winners, the Heat, Pacers, and Spurs have confirmed their advances, and the three teams now only need to wait for the results of the Clippers and Thunder to determine the timetable for the next round.

On the 22nd, the Thunder successfully defeated the Clippers led by Paul and Griffin 104-98 on the road with Durant's 39 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists and Wei Shao's 19 points and 12 assists. The big score was 4:2 to knock the opponent out of the tournament, and poor Paul was once again blocked from the door of the Western Conference finals.

In this way, all the matchups of the division finals have been determined, and the Eastern Conference finals will be played on the 24th at the Conseco Arena in Indiana, and another game will be played on the 26th. After that, we will move to Miami and play two more matches on the 29th and 31st, and if we can't finish the fight, we will continue on June 2, 5 and 7.

The Spurs' game against the Thunder was played the day after the Pacers' game against the Heat. Of the four remaining teams, experts are generally more optimistic about the Spurs and Heat, with more than 60 percent believing that this year's Finals will be a continuation of last year's Finals. And after Ye Xuan read this report, he also secretly swore that he must slap these 'brick families' in the face.

In the next two days of team training, Ye Xuan slowly began to adapt to Dragic's passing method, this kind of elusive passing, at first also scared his teammates, but after slowly getting used to it, Ye Xuan found that this kind of passing can often work wonders when attacking the position and defending.

And Ye Xuan's flower-wearing butterfly steps are also becoming more and more proficient, and he will even quietly add some small actions when defending. Now Ye Xuan is also studying the talents he has obtained, what can be combined to play a miraculous effect, such as the combination of Brooks's passing and Parker's speed, which can have an effect similar to Wade's lightning step. And the combination of Harden's European step and Brooks' throwing can also improve some shooting percentage.
