Finale
PS:
Home of the Toronto Raptors, Air Canada Centre.
At night, the city is shrouded in a hazy color of neon lights.
Above the arena, the sound of a live DJ kept ringing, introducing tonight's game.
"This is the last game of the 2014~2015 Eastern Conference Finals, the Toronto Raptors will play the final tiebreaker against the rival Miami Heat, and the winner will go to the finals at Michigan Stadium this year. This year is one of the greatest seasons in basketball history, and it's clear that everyone wants to make a mark on this special season and take his place. It is worth mentioning that this year is the third year that the Miami Heat Big Three have teamed up, and they have stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and this year's tie-break and special Finals will be their best chance to prove themselves. ”
of style.
Now, before the start of this tiebreaker, fans across the United States have gone crazy, and they are all talking about the fact that this finals is completely for Wu Di.
He's so special that even the league wants to create a sacred career for him today.
Standing at this point in time in June 2015, looking forward, Wu Di has now played in the league for 13 years. The year '06 of his comeback was the beginning of a miracle. It was also him who ended the ordinary. Towards the perfect start.
In 06, he completed revenge, defeated the Spurs and won the first championship of his career, and it was from then that Wu Di's legend began to make every player in the league begin to feel frustrated and powerless, and he couldn't resist.
From 06~08 years, Wu Di achieved the first three consecutive championships in his career, and after three consecutive championships, Wu Di chose to leave the Raptors to join the Kings who had been chasing him for 6 years.
08 to 09 season. Wu Di helped the Kings, who have been at the bottom of the West, to refresh the number of wins in a single season with 66 wins. However, it is a pity that Wu Di did not win the championship in his first year with the Kings, which also put an end to his consecutive championship journey temporarily.
In the 09~10 season, the Kings began a reinforcement plan, and until the trade deadline, they got one of the best defensive interior lines in the league, Marcus Camby, and finally formed a comprehensive offensive and defensive lineup. Wu Di, who averaged 37 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks per game this season, won almost all the important honors in a single season, including the Finals MVP in June.
After helping the Kings win the championship......
Wu Di made the decision to shock the nation and return to the Wizards. It's only a one-year contract, though.
"The old man was sad before he went to heaven. Didn't see the team win a championship either. I still have a grudge against him in my heart, but I hope to help the Wizards win a championship. ”
The main reason why Wu Di was able to make such a decision was that he still had an unspeakable emotion and concern for the Washington Wizards in his heart, and secondly, because of his wife Sophia, Aberlin was her grandfather after all.
Wu Di's actions made him gain the greatest voice in the world.
In the 10~11 season, Washington's lineup has long been a thing, but there are still a few familiar faces and the most important members of the team.
Arenas struggled a bit in form, which started in '09, and he got into all sorts of turmoil and trouble. However, Wu Di's arrival gave him hope, after all, as an NBA player, he hopes to win that special championship with his once best twin partners.
Kwame Brown, now one of the best centers in the West, is a three-time All-Star, has won the Defensive Player of the Year, and is a Bill Russell-style legend. This is also the greatest player Wu Di has made, and of course one of Wu Di's best friends in this life.
Bosh, a special person who was involved in Wu Di's four team trading and leaving the team, the first intersection of the two occurred at that time, although at the beginning, Bosh and Wu Di did not seem to get along so happily, but then they became friends.
And now, Wu Di is back to the Wizards, and Bosh is also the first to welcome, saying that Wu Di's arrival will get the first championship trophy for the Wizards.
Jamal Crawford, the league's super sixth man,. After Wu Di left, he was also the starting guard for the Wizards, scoring 20 points for three consecutive seasons, making him a well-regarded shooting guard. When Wu Di returned, he immediately said that he would return to the position of the sixth man of the team, and he missed that feeling.
The main backbone members are still there, which allowed the Wizards to achieve success in their first year as a team, with Wu Di receiving his fifth career championship ring and fifth Finals MVP.
The 10~11 season is destined to be an extremely memorable season, after the end of the season, the Wizards' management, coaching staff, and players have carried out several months of ideological work on Wu Di, but Wu Di still did not choose to renew his contract.
In September 2011, Wu Di announced that he would return to play for the Toronto Raptors.
"It's the last stop of my career and I'm going to keep playing here until I retire. I'm a veteran who has been in the league for nine years, I'm 30 years old, 30 is a turning point in my life, and the rest of my career will be when I start to enjoy it. ”
Wu Di's remarks before the start of the season dispelled all the general manager's expectations of being able to get Wu Di to join the team, and considering Wu Di's terrible situation, some huddle actions began to be carried out.
Back in his first year with the Raptors, Wu Di began another legendary journey as he continued to show his unmatched dominance.
In the 11~12 season, Wu Di set a new single-season scoring record in his career with an average of 40.2 points per game, which is also the second time he can contribute more than 3,000 points in a single season. And even more legendary, as a scoring guard who takes scoring to the extreme. Able to average 40.2 points per game in a single season. It is undoubtedly comparable to Chamberlain.
After all, it was that era. Data monsters abound. But now it's different, under Wu Di, James averages 30.3 points per game, and Durant averages 30.1 points per game, and the gap between him and Wu Di is too big.
Faced with the miracle of averaging 40+ per game in the first single season after the league restructuring, even Jordan, who is almost 50 years old, said that he was not calm.
"I'm a fan of Wu, to be honest, except for Skywalker Thompson back then. I don't see any guy as my idol. He's really special, and if I could turn back the clock, I hope I can be 28 again and compete with this guy. ”
Wu Di's performance directly detonated the entire Hall of Fame, and those players who were already legends themselves were amazed, Wu Di was already in their ranks, he was a legend among legends.
Magic Johnson said: "Wu Di's career is something that everyone has witnessed, he has shown what is a legend and what is a miracle. A guard who takes scoring to the extreme, his presence will be a great experience in basketball history.
As for what Michael said. I can't give an answer, to be honest. I also want to be able to see the kind of scenes that can only exist in the imagination of Chinese beauty.
Michael and Wu, if it is really in the same era, their peaks coincide together, I think it will be an era of two heroes competing for hegemony before and after.
Well, some people might say that Michael doesn't have three-point ability. But on this point, sometimes I don't want to say more, because it's really a matter of retardation.
But today I think it's important to say that for a player with a lot of talent, he's perfectly capable of being the best three-pointer, and I mean Michael, because he's just as talented as Wu Di. ”
……
The heat of the scoring season has continued, and although Wu Di has already become the best and most influential player in the world, he is still making new history and igniting new enthusiasm among fans.
From the beginning of the 11~12 season, until June 2015, Wu Di has created a new dynasty, he is hitting the four consecutive championships that Jordan has not done, for this reason, the league moved this year's finals to Michigan Stadium, which is a football stadium that can accommodate 110,000 fans.
Of course, there are other reasons for this, and that is the Toronto Raptors' opponent and the team they could face.
Miami Heat, after selecting Kevin Durant in 07, the Miami Heat found an opportunity to rise, and then Pakleli selected John Wall, and the two-star Miami quickly moved towards the rise.
However, even with two talented rising stars, Miami will not be able to make a difference in the playoffs, because the East and even the entire league are dominated by the Toronto Raptors.
In the summer of '12, Pakleli used countless manpower, money and persuasion to finally poach the little emperor LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The following year, that is, the 12~13 season, Miami began a legendary season.
The league's best record of 69-13 suppressed the Toronto Raptors for the entire season, but in the final Eastern Conference Finals, Wu Di's three-point strike in Game 6 helped the Raptors eliminate the Miami Heat in their first year of teaming.
Throughout the series, Miami's shining lights were Kawai Leonard and Jimmy Butler.
The two were potential rookies who were drafted by Pakleli in '11. Leonard is very physically gifted, and after two seasons of training, he already has a clear direction to develop, which is to become a good wing defender and individual defender. As for Jimmy Butler, he is also a good defensive player, and as the team's main substitute, he has fully demonstrated some scoring potential, which means that he has the potential to be a balanced player.
With such potential players and three star players under their leadership, it seems only a matter of time before Miami wins the title.
In the 13~14 season, James, Kevin Durant, Wall, Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Tyson Chandler who got it in the summer, the terrifying Miami Army set sail.
The formation of the Miami Legion is the ultimate performance of the players' huddle, and it is also the pinnacle of the league's players teaming up against Wu Di.
Chandler, James, Durant, Leonard, and Wall make up what is arguably the best starting combination of the season, and on the bench. Miami also has a bunch of cheap shooters and the league's best sixth man at Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, who was drafted in the second round in '12.
Green was a draft legacy. Finished in the second season of his career. He proved it.
Surrounded by a group of brilliant star teammates, Draymond Green, who excelled at learning, quickly developed multiple abilities and became one of the league's all-round players. Throughout the season, Green's ability to attack, defend, assist, shoot three-pointers, grab rebounds, and play in the low post made Pakleli, who returned as coach in the first year, extremely happy, and he admitted that if there were not too many outstanding players, he would definitely rank Green in the starting position.
On the bench, the rise of Green and Butler has made the Miami Heat an unbeatable legion of terror.
At the end of the season, the Miami Heat had a 75-7 record. At this point, even Wu Di has never done it.
The Undefeated Legion made the entire alliance tremble, including Wu Di, who also expressed great pressure, after all, the opponent he faced was too terrible.
However, it was inevitable that no team would be able to knock the Miami Heat out of the playoffs before the Raptors, so the two teams met for the second time.
Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the media in the United States was almost immediately optimistic that the Heat would eventually advance to the Finals.
However, when the seven games were played, Wu Di created a miracle. He killed the Heat with a mid-range shot that looked exactly like Jordan back then, ending a crazy series.
The series between the Heat and Raptors is considered the cream of the pack throughout the season. So there was no special suspense in the next game, 4:1, and the Raptors completed two consecutive championships. In the twelfth year of his career, the 33-year-old Wu Di has already worn seven championship rings on his hands.
In the summer of 2014, the crazy huddle activities continued, and more and more strong teams were successfully formed, which was obviously a manifestation of the league's difficulty for Wu Di.
And this kind of huddle activity has eventually created more and more talented new stars, because more and more teams have no star players, and can only pin their hopes on the annual draft, after all, the departure of more and more famous players has given these rookies too much room for development.
The 2014~2015 season, an unparalleled season, is also destined to be recorded as a legendary season in the history of the league, Wu Di hit four consecutive championships, in the whole process, he will have to face four strong teams with star players in the league, this difficulty is absolutely unprecedented.
At the start of the season, Delon, Wu Di, Granger, Milicic and Oden formed the starting team to continue the championship journey, and on the bench were Paul Millsap, Bledsoe, Ellis, Parsons and Asik.
The advantage of the Raptors is that they are no less than the Heat, or even better, the bench lineup, as for the main force, the Raptors' twin tower combination is difficult to contend with.
Of course, the Raptors also have his weakness, and that is the defensive problems of Granger, who was selected as an All-Star once. It's not that Granger's defense is not good, but if he plays the Heat, he will need to face the Heat's crazy forward attack.
……
The most anticipated season is in full swing, and the regular season is over amid countless highlights, eyeball-blown performances, and frantic competition for honors.
In the final regular season standings, the Raptors are 76-6 and the Heat are 73-9 in first and second place.
As for the MVP of the whole season, it was won by Wu Di, who averaged 34 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals per game, which was also the first time in his career that he was able to contribute 34+6+6+4 in a single season, such a performance has never appeared in the entire NBA history. What is exciting is that Wu Di has won another trophy of his career best defensive player.
In the playoff competition, the Raptors faced the Washington Wizards in the first round, and this season the Washington Wizards won 54 games, but against the Raptors, they won two games and were kicked out of the playoff stage.
In the second round, Wu Di led the team to play a group of All-Stars who were also in the New York Knicks. This round of the series was extremely difficult to play, but in the end, Wu Di still led the team to win 4:3.
When it came to the Eastern Conference Finals, it was not surprising that Wu Di and the Miami Heat led by James and Durant met again, so the Mars met Earth-like series began.
The abilities of James and Durant are clear to everyone. They are the top five players in the league. Now the two are united to fight against Wu Di. Definitely a very scary combination.
This is considered one of the best two-round series of the season, and it is naturally highly anticipated by fans.
There is madness in the swaying shouts and cheers of fans all over the world, which is considered a no-enemy situation among the fans, because everyone is enjoying the game and enjoying the ultimate fight of a bunch of all-star players.
Wu Di was stronger than anyone could have imagined, in the first six games of the series. He used his performance to help the Raptors survive thrills again and again, which made fans also blood rush to watch.
Leonard, James, and Jimmy Butler are all players who can defend Wu Di, and as the team's leading scorer, Wu Di is under too much pressure because of this.
What's even more different is that Durant doesn't have to play against Wu Di at all, so his firepower output has become a key point for the Heat.
The six games of the finals have been played, and the situation of the Raptors and the Heat is evenly matched, and now the battle for seven is completely the test of the players' performance.
This is something that is clear to everyone......
***********
At the Air Canada Centre arena. After reviewing Wu Di's career, a game about the fate of the playoffs between the two teams began.
When the camera is given to each player. There would be a frantic shouting at the scene, which was a rare occurrence.
Obviously, for fans and some of the role players to be able to experience such a series and a great season, it is the highlight of their lives.
The tie-break battle was as exciting as imagined, and the offensive and defensive images of each round could almost be described as gorgeous, and this was a game that had never been seen before.
As Sports Illustrated said, they will make this year's playoffs into comics, anime, movies and television, and so on.
As things stand, it is clear that this is an unprecedentedly wise decision.
Durant's highlight-reel scoring moments, James' big-picture vision, John Wall's lightning-fast impact, and the tough defensive ...... of the likes of Leonard and Jimmy Butler
The Heat are really hard to beat, that's the thought that exists in everyone's mind.
Under the pressure of terror, Wu Di finally survived...... He continues to create Mr. Key's performance moments.
In the final three minutes of the tiebreaker, the entire Heat team was on the verge of a big enemy, even though they had a seven-point advantage. For Pat Riley, he knew that Wu Di would turn on scoring mode, but his superstars couldn't stop Wu Di's crushing.
James, Kawhi Leonard, Butler, Draymond Green, and even Durant, who has a terrifying reach, all tried to defend Woody's shot at one point...... However, everything is helpless after all.
15 points, this is Wu Di's score in the last three minutes, and it was these scores that helped the Raptors narrowly defeat the Miami Heat 117-114 and finally realize the Finals dream.
"I got my tickets to the Michigan Coliseum, and I was happiest." Wu Di, who scored 45 points, made no secret of his excitement, which is also extremely rare in his career of more than ten years.
The defeated Heat team fell into a dead silence, and Zhan Du and others, who were the pride of the sky, this was an unacceptable ending.
"It's been three years, and the nightmare is clearly still going on. Sometimes, some of the feelings are really hard to swallow. It's like at some point, you know what a person is going to do, but with all your heart, there's nothing you can do to stop it. We need to introspect and find a way to defend him. "Throughout the interview, none of the star players of the entire Heat team wanted to mention Wu Di's name, and obviously, the shadow that this person brought to their psychology was too great.
Three days later......
Michigan Stadium, the largest football stadium in the country, is different from the past, and today, more than six-figure basketball fans come here just to watch an unprecedented basketball game.
The number of fans, 111013 to be exact, is a spectacle that has never been seen before.
The sky above the rugby field, blue sky and white clouds, fresh air, and the feeling of the open air make people feel a sense of refreshment.
"The temperature in the stadium is not lower than 30 degrees, does it feel like a player playing in a hot summer day when playing in this environment?"
At the scene, under the cameras from all over the world, reporters were reporting on domestic fans in front of the camera.
The noise of the fans exploded. It feels like you've had your eardrums torn.
"Do you hear that? A feeling that has never been felt before. I even felt like I was watching rugby or even football. But it's a real basketball game, and it's really exciting. ”
Under the roar, in order to let the fans hear what they were saying, the reporters had to shout loudly into the microphone.
The noise is heard in every corner of the world, and every fan can clearly feel the flow of blood in their bodies...... It's a shame that I wasn't able to be there in person.
It's a feeling on everyone's mind......
"Today, there are more than 110,000 fans watching the game at Michigan Stadium. According to incomplete statistics, the number of users watching the finals in the world is not less than 80 million, which is converted into the number of fans, I am afraid that there must be hundreds of millions, which is a terrifying number. ”
The emergence of such a situation is completely a grand occasion in the history of basketball. It is exciting and gratifying that every player on both sides is unleashing their energy.
2880 seconds!
Yes, the time of the game must be accurate to every second, in the eyes of the fans, every second. The results are all exciting, and they all make people feel like crazy.
Enjoy the game!
That's what everyone around the world is thinking about going into the Grand Final. It doesn't matter who it is, without exception.
7 games! Half a month of madness!
Too many people are still unsatisfied...... In their opinion, this is a madness that they can't even enjoy.
Even after the game on June 18, not a single fan left.
At the award ceremony, surrounded by 110,000 people and watched by more than 500 million people, Xiao Hua, the new president of the alliance, delivered his final speech: "It is difficult to have a second grand occasion, and the finals have come to an end. Legendary tournaments, legendary players, legendary fans, it's all over. I want to continue, but there needs to be an end. So...... Congratulations to our legendary FMVP, Wu Di!! ”
……
The 2014~2015 season left a strong mark in the history of the NBA, and in the entire history, there is only one person at the top, that is, the legend of yellow skin, known as the "last great" Wu Di.
With the success of four consecutive championships, Wu Di became the only player who was considered to surpass Michael, but in the face of anyone and the media, Wu Di still said:
"Michael Jordan is still the greatest player in my heart, he represents the spirit of basketball, he is my mentor, always!"
Michael Jordan and Wu Di, these two names have been implicated since 2002, and finally in the subsequent 21-year legendary career, Wu Di represents the entire NBA and world basketball.
……
In June 2023, the last game of Wu Di's career, in the last 3.6 seconds of the seventh game of the finals, Wu Di, who is over 42 years old, received the ball, broke through, made an emergency stop, and made a three-point shot under the defense of his son Wu Xing...... The basketball goes upside down on the hoop and ends up in the hoop.
"The future is mine!"
In the face of the interview, Wu Xing, the best newcomer of the year who led the team to the finals, said with great confidence when he learned that his father officially announced his retirement.
……
For a competitive sport, data is often the best proof, every time you see such a data sheet, everyone is like a mountain on their back, and the feeling of insurmountability has never been shaken.
Wu Di, No. 11 rookie in 2002, No. 14 jersey, 23 years in the NBA.
Participated in 1,818 regular season games, averaging 35.4 minutes per game, averaging 33.1 points, 6.5 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.9 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. Led the team to 1,505 wins.
Participated in 456 playoff games, averaging 37.1 minutes per game, averaging 36.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.1 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Led the team to 404 wins. ”
For Wu Di, who has played more than 2,000 games in his career, some of the records he has set are, in a sense, impossible to break.
'No player has ever been as special as him, and in the beginning, no one imagined that he would be able to reach such heights, but it happened. Wu Di deserves to be synonymous with world basketball, and he has created not only an impossible record, but also a career that can be called an undefeated myth. ”
This is a comment on Wu Di that appears in textbooks all over the world, Wu Di is the only athlete who has become one of the top 100 great men in the history of the world, and the picture accompanying this passage is Wu Di wearing the No. 14 jersey, and he is surrounded by 12 championship trophies, 12 MVP trophies, 12 FMVP trophies, and 16 scoring champions.........
Five years after his retirement, Wu Di said in his speech when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame: "Throughout my career, I know that I have gained too many honors and championship rings, and I can be satisfied. However, I have always felt regretful that I am not well-rounded because I am not a good organizer. ”
