At the ***** hotel where the Magic team was staying, Stan Van Gundy frowned. After losing three games in a row, the media questioned him all over the world.

Every season in the NBA, coaches are sacked, some are mid-season, and some are fired at the end of the season. This Vanity Fair is so cruel that even if Van Gundy is a coach who leads the team to the finals, if his performance is not up to the management standards, his position will not be guaranteed.

The Oakland media added fuel to the fire, describing Van Gundy as a "cursed coach", saying that he was destined to have no fate with the championship

From 2003 to 2004, Da Fan served as the coach of the Heat, and led the team to the second round of the Eastern Conference in the first season; In the 2004-2005 season, the Heat lost 3-4 to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Wade and O'Neal were injured in Game 7. This record is good, but next season Dafan was fired by the Heat, Pat Riley personally picked up the whip, and then the Heat won the championship that season.

After two years of hibernation, Dafan came to the Magic in 2007-2008, and still stopped in the second round in the first year, and reached the finals in the second year, which looks good. But now that the finals are 0-3 behind, the fans once again blame the coach.

At this time, the media broke the news that after the third game, in the Magic locker room, head coach Van Gundy and Howard had an unpleasant situation.

Van Gundy said privately: "We don't agree that Howard's attention is on things that he doesn't need to focus on. ”

In Van Gundy's strategy, Howard should focus on rebounding and defense, not scoring. But Howard is also a stubborn man, focusing on the offensive end. In fact, Howard is more dangerous when he plays off the ball, but he doesn't think so.

The media has always regarded O'Neal as a model for Howard, and the Magic has always cultivated him like this, and Howard subtly regarded O'Neal as his target. When the basketball is not in his hands on the court, he is often a little unconfident. This is not obvious now, but Li Zhi, who comes from the future, has seen Howard's real decline.

After leaving the Magic, Howard missed the best growth period of his career due to a back injury, and his skills did not improve much compared to the previous years of his career, but he always wanted to prove himself, and the Lakers, Rockets, Hawks, Hornets, and Warcraft's self-certification path never succeeded.

Van Gundy wanted Howard to be a blue-collar worker in the Finals, but on the news, those Howard targets sprayed him all day long. O'Neal sprayed Abdul-Jabbar, Abdul-Jabbar sprayed Barkley, Howard proved that his heart was getting stronger and stronger, he wanted to get the ball, he wanted to score, and finally a tactical clash with Van Gundy broke out.

However, the person in question, Howard, has low emotional intelligence, he said: "There is no problem between me and Van Gundy, we are still a family, we are just fighting, nothing." ”

Compared with the Magic team, the Warriors are in the right place at the right time, and winning the championship is inevitable. Unless there is a man like Wade, it is impossible to reverse it.

The Warriors are about to sweep, but the ratings for Game 4 have dropped, and there is no way around it. It was the second time in years that the Finals were one-sided, and the year the Spurs swept the Cavaliers was even worse, and the fans didn't care about the process at all, only the result.

At this time, David Stern is very happy, fortunately it is the Warriors who break through in the West, if it is the Lakers and the Rockets, it is impossible to watch, it is defense and iron, and the fans will definitely not buy it. At the very least, the Warriors are an offensive team and play a much better game.

The morale of the Magic players was low to the dust, there was no hope on the inside in the first game, 50% of the outside three-point shooting rate in the second game did not win, and the third game was almost full of starters, and they still lost. If they can win against the Warriors, the Magic must have someone break out in this game, but thinking about the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, the Magic players have no confidence. Kobe Bryant is strong, right? Faced the Warriors and scored 53 points, but they were still eliminated, and their individual offense was not good.

In the home locker room, the Warriors players are very relaxed, full of smiles and full of confidence, and they are strategizing.

Since entering the alliance, Li Zhi has always been the focus, but at this moment, Li Zhi is still looking forward to it. How many superstars don't have such a chance, Nash, Malone, Maddy, Carter, Iverson, have not been able to touch the championship, and now it is only the second season of their careers, and they are about to win the championship.

Looking back on the past two years, Li Zhi felt unusually fulfilled. In his previous life, he was unlucky, calculated by his teammates, sprained his ankle on the court, lost the draft, and waited for a chance to return to the NBA but was injured again.

"Is this how time works?" Li Zhi touched his face and said. Now his career is going well, winning the best rookie in the first year, reaching the finals in the second year, and he is only one step away from the championship.

The court is proud, life is smooth sailing, Avril slowly likes basketball, and the two gradually have a lot of topics, but Li Zhi is unhappy that Avril's fan is Kobe.

In this game, his friends came, and Renault and Ye Xiaoxiao sat next to Avril, which made Li Zhi sigh that Renault's kung fu was amazing, how long has it been?

Teammates from the University of Florida also came, and Horford, Noah, and Brewer brought their families to witness an important moment in Richie's career.

There are also some stars who have cooperated with Li Zhi, Gal Gadot and Scarlett are also present, the NBA Finals is a grand event in the sports circle throughout the year, and there are many big-name stars that Li Zhi does not know, and Li Zhi even saw ***** on a chair.

For this master, Li Zhi likes it, and now Li Zhi really hopes that he will run for president as soon as possible, and it is best to have a second term, and then the economic development rate of the United States will be reduced by at least 20%.

When the players played, the Warriors tried their best to create an atmosphere, the lights went out all over the court, and the highlights of the Warriors since the season were displayed on the big screen.

Barkley commented: "The Bay Area fans are really fanatical, and I'm a little worried about the Magic players. ”

Kenny Smith said: "It's all a team that's playing well, they're still a very young team, and there are a lot of opportunities like that in the future. ”

There was no change to the Magic starters, with the Warriors starting O'Neal and Jordan Jr. returning to the bench to increase their frontcourt attack.

Howard jumped to possession, Courtney Lee immediately went down, Turkegrew passed the ball to the frontcourt, and Lee immediately chased after him, and Courtney Lee was forced to slow down. The Magic wanted to learn from the Warriors to make a fast attack, but was brutally destroyed by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi continued to follow Courtney Lee, and Jackson glanced at Turkoglu. Turkoglu faced Jackson, he stepped back with the ball and changed direction, and then walked inside, Jackson followed him on the side, and Turkoglu had an advantage in height, he dribbled with his back and watched the Magic players' movements.

Alston ran back and got rid of Nick Young to receive the ball in the bottom corner on the left, and Lewis immediately went up to block and block Milicic, who had helped defend in the past. Alston shot a three-pointer in an empty position, and it didn't feel good, and the ball didn't stick to it. O'Neal jammed Howard, and Richie turned around to get the basketball inside.

The ball didn't touch the basket, and Li Zhibai picked up a steal.

Li Zhi got the ball, ran wildly, the front court was misplaced, and Courtney Lee single-handedly defended Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's speed did not decrease, and his body was hard against Courtney Lee inside the three-point line in the middle. Courtney Lee lowered the center and tried to force Li Zhi to slow down, but Li Zhi didn't, the ball was divided, and it was a violent dunk to get the ball again and rush into the penalty area.

2-0。

Courtney Lee turned around and saw Lee hanging from the basket, shaking his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

The fans cheered, Li Zhi was still hanging on the basket, and the referee did not blow the penalty because of this, and waited until the fans' enthusiasm dropped before the magic served.

Courtney Lee stood on the perimeter of the perimeter when he attacked, like an inconsequential person, and his performance in the Finals was so bad that many fans said he was an undercover agent for the Warriors.

Courtney Lee was the No. 22 rookie in the first round in 2008, and to this day, he can be said to be the best of all the rookies, not even Rose has ever made it to the Finals. But even so, Magic fans still didn't let him go, they never thought Kourtney Lee was just a rookie.
