182. The little thing about the Union

Not all teams are as civilized as the Pistons and the Nets, and the reason why they have swept the Nets has not made over-the-top moves, which is related to the strength of the Pistons' chaotic battle, the Pistons with two Wallaces are called the NBA's KO team, no one dares to mess with them, the Nets are now knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood, and they can only endure grievances and dissatisfaction.

In Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Kings and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miller vs. Timberwolves bench player Darrick Murphy. Martin almost got into a fight, and if it weren't for the two bosses, Garnett and Webb, who had a good personal relationship, the first group fight of the playoffs would have been caused by the two. After that, Miller was sent off the court, and as he left the court, Miller made a series of movements to cut throats, touch JJ, and lift his crotch to Timberwolves fans.

The price was a $10,000 N.B.A. fine and a suspension.

You know, the game between the Kings and the Timberwolves has been full of fire. Garnett is in a hurry to sweep the opponent to grab the MVP, and the Kings are eager to take out the Timberwolves and reach the Western Conference Finals to teach the Lakers a lesson, so that both sides intend to provoke the opponent in the game to affect the opponent's emotions. It's just that Miller and Martin's irritation methods are a bit special, and the two of them started a hug and wrestle!

"My mother, it almost turned into a street fight." Mirisic, who watched the live TV broadcast, said this to Huaben.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Hua Ben, he is busy now. won a number of honors such as MVP, Best Defensive Player, Best Improved Player, Defensive First Row, etc., McDonald's was in a hurry to calculate money with him, and according to the contract, these honors were all green dollars. McDonald's doesn't feel distressed about this, they can't wait for Huaben to get the regular season, All-Star Game, and Finals MVP, and then take all the awards into their arms and become the NBA's No. 1 superstar.

If nothing else, Huaben will become the new signboard of the NBA, so Nike, Adidas, Jordan, And1 and other big-name sports product manufacturers have contacted him and unanimously asked him to endorse, as for the price, this is easy to discuss.

Jordan directly came forward in person, although it was just a phone call, but said that he would come to the Finals in person, provided that the Pistons could reach the Finals.

Huaben is not very interested in the Jordan brand, but he loves Nike very much, but it is a pity that Bell and Scarlett put pressure on him together, and Eva also advised him not to sign with these big companies, and the Wende series of sneakers produced by Hunter is a good choice.

Eva specially called Huaben and stated the benefits: "If Adidas is willing to give you a lifetime contract, then this can be considered, Nike and other companies forget it, it's just about money, are you still short of money now?" I inspected Wende's market, not bad, their shoes have been praised a lot in the field of middle-aged and elderly people, which shows that there is no problem with the quality of shoes, as long as you open the youth market after endorsement, it will definitely set off a technological storm in the field of sneakers. I'm haggling with Hunter and Mendes right now, and I want you not to pay endorsement fees, but to ask for shares, 49% shares! I'm very bullish on the market prospects of this sneaker. ”

Hummer also called him vigorously, "Ben, take the time to shoot a commercial." "Shoot your sister, don't you see that I'm busy playing the playoffs? I'm going to win the championship this season, but Hua Ben doesn't care, just wait for the finals to shoot commercials, and he's looking forward to working with Julie.

In Huaben's phone calls, the second round of the NBA playoffs came to an end, and the top four teams were finally decided.

The Miami Sports Journal reported on the game between the Heat and the Pacers with the headline "NBA Overall Quality Rises Rapidly, Heat's Great Season Ends."

Truth be told, the overall quality of this year's NBA playoffs is a lot better than in previous years, especially in the second round. The meeting between the Lakers and the Spurs, the two oldest powerhouses in the West, made fans enthusiastic to watch, and the GDP combination vs F4, how many fans can this gimmick alone attract? What's more, the two teams have teamed up to win all the championships in the past five seasons.

The Kings and Timberwolves are a game you win and I win a game, and the game is even more bloody, and the matchup between Garnett and Webb, the two top three power forwards in the West, is evocative. In the East, the Pistons swept the Nets with great momentum, and the Heat's tough challenge to the big brother in the East also made people watch their blood boiling.

Although the Pacers eventually advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, fans have to admit that the Heat this season is definitely worthy of respect. Less than halfway through the regular season, head coach Pat Brown. Riley resigned, and the Heat started with a seven-game losing streak, and there was no hope at that time. Riley once said, "If you squeeze an orange harder, you'll get a glass of orange juice; If you squeeze one that harder, you will get a glass of milk (this phrase is said by fat people), and in the same way you put a person under pressure and you will discover his potential. ”

So, we saw the potential of the Heat, and then took over the new coach Stan. Van Gundy once showed the potential of the gods, and in the final stage of the regular season, the Heat shocked the entire league by entering the playoffs with a 13-game winning streak at home. But that's not all, the Heat defeated the Hornets in the first round, and dragged the Pacers in the first two home games in the second round, until they lost by three points at the third home court and missed out on the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although defeated, these four words were vividly interpreted by the Heat! Moreover, Huaben also knows that it was from this playoffs that Wade began his great journey, and he will become the most offensive guard in the NBA in the next decade!

In an interview with the media, Huaben praised Wade: "Last year's draft was very successful, LeBron can almost be said to be the strongest champion in the last decade, our Darko you have also seen, he is fully capable of becoming the new interior ruler, the Nuggets' little fat man is not bad, Carter's new little brother Bosh is even better." And then I have to mention Dwyan, he's fantastic, this is a guy who can dominate the game, if he can stay healthy, I can't think of anyone in the league who can attack more than him, of course the AI can, but the two don't have the same defensive ability, and I hope he can be selected for the Olympic national team this summer, he has the qualifications. ”

That's true, Wade is not only playing with a ferocious offense and defensive iron, but he is not selfish, which leads to the excellence of the Heat, because they are forged into an unusually united whole, Wade said in an interview: "We have to see where we can go with our group together." ”

It is this sentence that inspires the Heat to unite as one. Although the Heat are currently out of the finals, countless fans still have deep respect for them, and as the new helm of the Heat, Wade has begun to make a name for himself.

On May 19, the Timberwolves and Kings played a battle against Tianwang Mountain, and the first game of the playoffs appeared, and the other three teams had already advanced, so the game received national attention.

With 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 5 blocks, the 28-year-old Garnett tonight (wow, guys, remember what we were doing when the Wolves were 28) played bravely and successfully beat the opposing Chris. Webb, who narrowly defeated the Kings 83-80 at home, entered the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-3 and met the Lakers.

This is perhaps the most meaningful life the Wolf King has ever had, he touched the finals for the first time, and got the MVP for the first time, even though it was only the Western Conference finals, although the MVP was still shared. He enthused after the game: "I felt great to win the race, especially when I was born! "After winning what is almost the most crucial victory in the Timberwolves' history, they will face the Lakers who have already advanced to the Western Conference Finals, but the Timberwolves have home-court advantage.

On the Timberwolves' side, in addition to Garnett's excellent performance, the old demon Sam. Cassel also returned to form, with 23 points and 7 assists, Sprewell 14 points, Szzerbiak 10 points, they combined for 79 points, and the Timberwolves team as a whole only 83 points!

The King didn't play bad tonight, Doug. Christie scored 21 points, and Mike Brown scored 21 points. Bibby 15 points, Brad. Miller scored 11 points, but Webb was dumbfounded. Seeing the talented power forward lost in the basket against Garnett again and again, Wajben sadly knew that he would be the scapegoat for the King's elimination this time, and he was not far from leaving Sacramento.

The Kings lost this game, the Timberwolves' defense was too solid, Garnett's performance made people question why he didn't share the best defensive player with Waben, he was alone on the inside, the Kings struggled to find a way to crack it, and the team shot less than 35% (30 of 81), of which Stojakovic shot 3 of 12 and Bibby shot 4 of 13.

After losing this game, the Kings became only the second team in NBA history to lose Game 7 in three consecutive years, the first being the Lakers from '60 to '62, which made Kings fans furious. The old coach Adelman said wistfully after the game: "I thought the ball would go in at the end......"

Webber, who scored 16 points, fell to his knees in disappointment after the loss, but the hearts of the fans will not be moved by him, as he did in the loss to the Lakers in 2002 and the Mavericks last year, and he was criticized for acting on a show.

Saunders, the coach of the season, was in high spirits and triumphant after the game, praising Garnett's performance, "Garnett was under a lot of pressure before the game, but he persevered and you can see that he was very calm and composed during the game. Then he vaguely stated that the team was bound to win the championship, "Seven games can prove a lot, most of the time, it is the strong who win the final victory." ”

On the morning of May 17, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 88-76 at home, successfully staged a big comeback and sent the defending champion Spurs home with a total score of 4-2. You know, the Spurs won the two Lakers' home games first, and at one point people thought that F4 would definitely be eliminated.

Think about it, what kind of team are Spurs? Calm, hard, can't beat or drag, this is a playoff powerhouse, and has won two championships in the past five years!

But F4 showed its horror, after the adjustment of the lady group, Kobe and O'Neal gave up their prejudices and worked together on the court, Malone and Payton also puffed up their remaining powers, winning four games in a row!
