Chapter 235: The Final Champion
"The weather is so nice!" Looking at the sunny weather outside, Wang Meng couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration. "The weather in Miami is just good, it's really different from New Orleans when it's windy every day."
After the early end of the playoff road, the Hornets announced that they were on vacation, there were no more games, and it was useless to keep the players, so let's go back to vacation and relax.
Wang Meng naturally went out with Taylor to play, they chose Miami, Miami has always been a resort in the United States, with beaches, oceans, and many beautiful women. Of course, there is a more important reason that the Heat and Lakers will play the first game of the Finals in Miami.
After the Hornets were eliminated by the Thunder, the Thunder successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and the battle between the Spurs and the Lakers on the other side is almost over, the GDP is old after all, whether it is Parker vs Paul at point guard, scoring guard Ginobili vs Kobe Bryant or Duncan vs Howard on the inside, the Spurs are in an absolute disadvantage, and finally the Spurs ended the playoffs this season 2:4.
The Lakers and the Thunder met in the Western Conference Finals, and without Westbrook, the Thunder's offensive firepower dropped significantly, and finally lost to the Lakers 1:4.
Since the introduction of Gasol in 07, the Lakers have entered the Finals for five consecutive years, and have won three championships, and they will face the king of the East, the Heat Big Three, in the Finals, and the first game will be played in Miami.
For such a dream lineup showdown, how could Wang Meng miss it? He and Taylor came to Miami early and lived a comfortable life of sunbathing and swimming in the sea every day.
"Beach, ocean, Taylor!" The more Wang Meng thought about it, the more excited he became, in this kind of place it is often the best place to accelerate the relationship with beautiful women, and Wang Meng naturally will not let go of this opportunity.
But.
"Hey, Wang Meng! I'm thirsty, give me that glass of juice! Lis, who was lying on a beach chair far away, said lazily.
"Got it~~~!" Wang Meng's excited expression instantly wilted like a frosted eggplant. "Why did she come! What about a romantic Miami trip for the two?! It's too bad! ”
Liz took the juice and smiled, "Thank you." ”
This situation was completely unexpected by Wang Meng, at first Taylor said that he was going to Miami to play, Wang Meng was very happy, but then when he got on the plane again, he was stunned to find that Liz was also going with him.
"What is she going to do?" Wang Meng remembered that his tone was very puzzled at that time.
"Liz heard that we were going to Miami and said she was idle and bored, so she followed." Taylor felt that it didn't matter, "She's my best friend, she's coming and I'm definitely taking Ra." ”
"I'll rub!" Wang Meng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart at that time, "What should I do with her?" ”
Sure enough, as Wang Meng expected, Liz is a standard 1,000-watt light bulb, which is interfering all the time Wang Meng and Taylor are in love, Taylor has to apply sunscreen to the sun, Liz rushed over to paint Taylor before Wang Meng This kind of thing Wang Meng doesn't want to worry about anymore, what makes Wang Meng most angry is that Lisi has to sleep with Taylor every night, and Wang Meng doesn't even have a chance to do bad things.
"Oh my God! Why did you do this to me! "When I came to Miami, Wang Meng couldn't even eat meat, what kind of pain was this?
Liz glanced at Wang Meng, who looked helpless, and took a sip of juice beautifully, and she was already smiling in her heart, this time Miami was really right, it was so interesting.
Well, let go of the sad trio of Wang Meng and Taylor Liss for the time being, and put your eyes back on the NBA.
Stern has been unusually open in the past two days, the Lakers Big Three collided with the Heat Big Three, and the ratings of the NBA Finals suddenly rose by several percentage points, no way, not to mention anything else, Lakers Paul, Kobe and Howard, Heat James Wade Bosh, each of these six people has a very large fan base, and when they fight together, it is natural that the ratings will rise significantly.
If you look at it on the bright side, the Heat's Big Three seem to be slightly weaker than the Lakers Big Three in terms of prestige and strength, James and Wade, the two outside points, are naturally no worse than the Lakers Paul and Kobe, but the inside Bosh is at an absolute disadvantage in the PK with Howard. Although Bosh has a lot of offensive ability, when facing the interior monster Howard, it is a question of how much of his offensive ability can play, and he also has great pressure on the interior rebounding protection.
Putting this aside, the position configuration of the Lakers' Big Three is undoubtedly much more reasonable than that of the Heat, Paul lives in tandem with Kobe Bryant's main offense, and there is no direct conflict between the two, while the Heat's James Wade is actually a bit overlapping in position, and the characteristics of the two are also very similar, so it feels a bit of a ball possession.
The championship battle between the Lakers and the Heat lasted for 6 games, and the result was unexpected by many people, the Heat Big Three, who were not favored at the beginning, actually defeated the Lakers Big Three and won the championship they have been longing for.
This may seem incredible, but it's understandable when you think about it.
Although the Big Three of the Heat are not as luxurious as the Lakers Big Three, the Heat is not without advantages, at least after the run-in of the last season, the tactical system of the Heat has been very reasonable, and the cooperation between the Big Three is also very skilled, and although the Lakers have a Big Three that are stronger than the Heat, but when the three people were combined, they happened to be unlucky to meet the shrinking season, only played 66 games, and did not have much practice time, and they were not skilled enough to cooperate with each other. And whether it's Paul or Kobe or Howard, the cooperation between these three people is not as good as imagined.
There is no doubt about the strength of the main air Paul, but his strength is based on absolute ball possession, and in the Lakers, he does not have absolute ball possession, because the boss of the Lakers is called Kobe.
Kobe Bryant has never been a player who runs to receive the ball and attack, and the offense with the ball is his strongest and most terrifying means, whenever he wants to attack, Paul's only role is to pull away the player on the outside and watch Kobe attack, and Howard is the same, originally in the Magic at will in the interior of the monster, after coming to the Lakers, he was stunned to find that his role seems to be to grab rebounds, play a secondary offense, or just block and dunk with Paul inside.
To put it mildly, these three Lakers all want to be the boss of the team, and no one wants to be the little brother, this situation is very similar to the Heat last season, the Lakers were strong in the regular season, and they couldn't find this problem, and they could be in the playoffs, especially when they fought against the Heat, who also had the Big Three, this problem was greatly exposed. Compared with the skillful cooperation of the Heat's Big Three, the Lakers' cooperation seems to be only a little bit of cooperation between Paul and Howard, and Kobe Bryant seems to have been unable to integrate into this tactical system.
For the failure of the Lakers, head coach Phil Jackson took all the mistakes on himself, saying that he made a mistake in decision-making, in fact, before the playoffs, Phil talked to Paul, Kobe, and Howard, but the effect was minimal, in the eyes of Paul and Howard, neither of them was convinced, and Kobe Bryant was old, so both of them wanted to be the boss of the Lakers, and in Kobe's point of view, the boss of the Lakers was only him, and Phil had no way in this situation, can only use the same method used to deal with O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and use the championship ring to run the three together, but after all, this is not the time of 2000, more than ten years have passed, and the league is different from the original league after all.
