Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Yuan Shu Era after Yao Mai

After a series of player changes, the main lineup of the Rockets for the new season has been basically determined, the playing time of the center position is shared by Anderson Vallejo and Omile Asik, the power forward position is the absolute core of the team, the new Rockets leader Yuan Shu, the small forward has the "rich and handsome" Chandler Parsons, the starting point guard is James Harden who switched from the Thunder, and the point guard is Jeremy Lin, who played "Lin Crazy" last season.

In addition, the depth of the Rockets' bench players is also enviable, and Greg Oden's performance in the preseason has proved that he still has the ability to play about 15 minutes per game and can contribute a lot to the team, in addition to Oden, there are also Carlos Delfino, Donatas Motaiyunas, Patrick Beverley, Patrick Patterson, Terrence Jones and other bench bandits.

Under the leadership of Yuan Shu, Harden completely got rid of his status as the fourth oldest on the Thunder team and played the best season of his career, Jeremy Lin also completely nirvana with the Rockets and became a qualified team commander, Parsons played a value of 20 million with an annual salary of 900,000, Vallejo and Asik made the Rockets' interior options more extensive, and even Oden had occasional highlights in the game, such as in the first meeting with James's Cavaliers, he contributed 10 blocks in 20 minutes!

Although James returned to the Cavaliers as he wished, the mood and atmosphere of the new season of the Cavaliers are completely different from last season, even though James has a close relationship with the team owner Gilbert and the major shareholder Vercellon, but in the locker room, the media broke the news that James has long lost the support and trust of his teammates.

Although Yuan Shu was transferred again, but still in accordance with the promise made at the time of the proposal, Yuan Shu and Gal Gadot held a wedding before the start of the new season, in addition to James, the stars with heads and faces in the whole league were present to participate in Yuan Shu's lively and grand wedding, thanks to Yuan Shu's good popularity in the entertainment industry and Gadot's influence, many big-name stars in the film and television industry also came to the scene of Yuan Shu and Gadot's wedding, making this already lively wedding even more brilliant.

On the day of Yuan Shu and Gadot's wedding, Han Meimei finally agreed to Li Lei's request.

"Li Lei, thank you for taking care of me and accommodating me since the beginning of junior high school, since we are both adults, I think it's time to confirm our relationship."

In Li Lei's surprised gaze, Han Meimei stood on tiptoe and gave Li Lei her first kiss.

On the night of Yuan Shu and Gadot's wedding, Yuan Shu actually received a new wedding gift from the system: a pink supergod-level item - Rodman's Whip! Spiritual Contract: 100%.

"Listen, what sound, it seems like there's a fierce battle?!" Ayuka, who was in the bridesmaid's room, whispered to Belbin, who lived in the same room.

Belbin listened to it a few times, immediately blushed, and smiled at Ayuka, and the other party immediately responded with a smile, all understand!

"Yuan, I want a baby." Gadot whispered to Yuan Shu, who was sprinting.

......

After marrying Gal Gadot, Yuan Shu finally knew that after he was reborn, he was no longer alone, Yuan Shu, who had the backing of his wife, was more prosperous on the court, and the regrouped Rockets rose under the gaze of Chinese fans, and entered the playoffs with the first place in the West, and the Cavaliers, who put Yuan Shu aside to accept James, only won the third position in the East, ranking in front of the Cavaliers. It's the Boston Celtics, who are betting on their last hope, and the Heat, who are back in value.

In the playoffs, the Rockets swept the Dallas Mavericks 4-0 in the first round, marking the decline of Nowitzki's Mavericks era, and the Cavaliers also beat the Atlanta Hawks 4-1 in the first round, in the second round, the Rockets met the Los Angeles Clippers, in the showdown with Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr., Beverley played the role of a surprise soldier, limiting Paul's play with his life, and Jeremy Lin led the bench as the team's sixth man. Successfully won two more games, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 4-1, created a record of reaching the Western Conference Finals that Yao Mai had not completed in the era, and stood on the stage of the Western Conference Finals again after 16 years.

The Cavaliers faced the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and in the duel with their two brothers, they relied on the excellent play of Leonard and Irving to enter the tiebreaker 3-3.

In the seventh battle of Tianwang Mountain, with 1.8 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers were still 1 point behind the Heat, James plucked up the courage to single out Wade's defense, and after making a tank-like breakthrough to break Wade's defense, he faced Bosh's block, and threw the ball into the hands of Leonard, who was standing on the baseline to watch James' last attack!

Leonard, who was confused, was stunned after receiving the ball, and immediately shot after reacting, and the result was a miraculous hit! The Cavaliers also beat the Heat 4-3 to meet the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference finals, Yuan Shu, who has fully comprehended the essence of the basketball god system, with an average strength of 80+ per data, turned the river and sea in the aging Spurs, and Duncan, who was opposite Yuan Shu, had to admit that he was old, and the Spurs also surprised everyone, and was swept by the Rockets 0-4.

After the game, coach Popovich took the blame for the defeat and admitted that it was time for the team to bring in some young players with quality and potential to improve the team's squad.

In the Eastern Conference finals, after the Cavaliers won three games to take a 3-0 lead, James boasted in front of the media, saying that he was already thinking about the opponent in the Finals, and as a result, the united Celtics miraculously won three games in a row and dragged the game into a tiebreaker.

In this game, Pierce was sent off for two consecutive technical fouls in the third quarter, due to dissatisfaction with the referee's ignorance of James' five-step layup, after the first protest was whistled for a technical foul, Pierce still chased the referee unrelentingly, and was directly sent off the court by the referee mercilessly, and it was this penalty that directly announced the death penalty of the Green Army.

The referee, who was originally a bit biased in this game, made the Celtics play a very awkward game throughout the game, and after trying their best to bite the score in the third quarter, they finally collapsed after Pierce was sent off.

James also got his wish and brought the Cavaliers to the finals, and after two tie-breaks, James also changed the psychological quality that was widely criticized before, and won the tiebreaker. The media seems to have forgotten that the tie-break in the semifinals relied on Leonard's stunner after receiving James' dump, and the tie-break in the Eastern Conference finals relied on the referee.

In this way, the Houston Rockets led by Yuan Shu finally met with the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James, who had a new hatred and an old hatred, in the finals!
