Chapter 357: Smoke Bombs
"Thanks, Mr. Danny, we'll meet in the summer if we get the chance, but for now, I'm sorry, I'm concentrating on preparing for the finals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Hanging up the phone call of Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, Li Yang shook his head, this is the third call he refused this morning to invite a meeting, these calls are all from those NBA general managers without exception, and for the meeting requests made by the bigwigs of these league teams, Li Yang also refused without exception.
In fact, Li Yang had already expected such a thing after learning that these people had come to San Toonio before the game, so there was no surprise at this time.
Indeed, the general managers of these NBA teams actually have two plans when they come to San Toonio, one is that once the Spurs are eliminated, they can contact Li Yang as soon as possible, and the other is to see Li Yang's performance in such a key game on the spot.
Obviously, Li Yang's performance in this game is undoubtedly extremely satisfying to these bigwigs, so it is not surprising that Li Yang will receive so many meeting invitations after the game.
It's just that as Li Yang said, at the moment, his mind is in the next finals, so it is impossible to meet these bigwigs.
Li Yang refused, these people naturally would not force it, when they saw that the Spurs advanced to the finals, they knew that Li Yang could not make further contact with them at this time, and the phone call with Li Yang was just a foreshadowing for the summer meeting.
"Honey, what are you going to do this summer?"
Seeing that Li Yang had been receiving calls from the general managers of various teams since he got up, Inya, who was lazily lying on the bed at the moment, couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"I don't know. Li Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, he has nothing to hide from Inya, but he really hasn't thought about this question yet, so naturally it is impossible to answer it.
"Oh!" After hearing Li Yang's words, Inia pouted playfully.
"Hmm!" Immediately after, Inia let out a whisper in her throat, but it was Li Yang who looked at Inia's pouting appearance and couldn't help but secretly kiss her on her seductive red lips.
"Alright, Karen, you go back to sleep, I'm going to practice. ā
After kissing Inya, Li Yang turned around and left, leaving Inia to blink her beautiful eyes in the back, and then closed her eyes and got into the bed.
Li Yang continued to practice in the arena, just like he used to do every day, after a night of celebration and madness with Inya, Li Yang's mood has completely calmed down at the moment, he knows very well that although this round of the Western Conference Finals can be called epic, but for this Spurs, only winning the final championship is the real victory.
When he came to the stadium, Li Yang also waited for his teammates who also came to train soon after, and it was obvious that Li Yang was not the only one with such thoughts.
The Spurs have put last night's game behind them, and they are starting to concentrate on preparing for the next Finals, but on the outside world, about the Western Conference Finals, about Game 7, is not over.
The Spurs and Thunder Western Conference Finals Game 7 to overtime time reached 14.5% of the national ratings, approaching 15%, which has set a record for NBA regional finals, and the result is that the impact after the game is also huge.
With two days to go before the Finals and the Western Conference Finals coming to an end, the talk of Game 7 has even overshadowed the Finals.
"Very bad! It's a terrible feeling! We were hoping to make it to the Finals, but the Spurs are so strong, they're playing very tenacious, they're a championship-caliber team, it's hard to imagine how strong they will be when Tony Parker comes back, and I don't think the Heat can stop them. ā
As the eliminated side, Thunder fans are also praising the Spurs from the bottom of their hearts, and you can imagine how convincing the Spurs' performance in this round of the series is.
On the other hand, Heat fans are worried about the next Finals.
"I've watched the whole game between the Spurs and the Thunder and I have to admit that this Spurs team is really too strong and when Tony Parker returns, they won't have any shortcomings, and before the French sports car returns, there will be some problems with the Spurs' rotation, which is our best chance. ā
Before Parker's return, it is the best opportunity for the Heat to take the initiative, which is generally recognized by the outside world.
In the preview of the finals by those industry experts, the biggest influencing factor was Parker's injury at the top of the list.
While the Spurs eliminated the Thunder without Parker, there's no doubt that the game was tougher than it was with Parker. Except for the first game of the fourth game in which Li Yang's point guard was very uncomfortable, the Spurs fought hard in the other two games to achieve victory.
The thickness of the Heat's bench is better than that of the Thunder, and with the previous Western Conference Finals as a reference, the Heat will naturally be more targeted than the Thunder when dealing with the Spurs' Li Yang point guard lineup.
So in the predictions of various experts, the Heat's best chance is the game before Parker returns from injury, and they have every chance to take advantage of such an opportunity to win the game, and even if they can't win, it will not be so easy for the Spurs to win.
Popovich's coaching staff is also well aware of this, and in the face of the Heat, who are bent on revenge, although Li Yang can continue to play a cameo point guard, Parker's return is equally important.
In the prediction of the Spurs coaching staff, the Heat is very likely to send James to play against Li Yang, which is completely different from the Thunder, and there is no player in the Thunder team who can fight with Li Yang to defend Li Yang alone.
It's just that according to the latest diagnosis of the team doctor Will Severn, it is best for Parker to come back in Game 3 of the Finals, and to be on the safe side, Popovich accepted Will Severn's suggestion, which means that in the first two games of the Finals, the Spurs will continue to face the problem of Parker not being able to play.
It's just that such news is naturally impossible to reveal to the outside world, the day before the first game of the finals will begin, Popovich said seriously in an interview with reporters: "We are discussing the possibility of Tony Parker's comeback with the team doctor, and now all this is not completely certain, but we do not rule out this possibility, Tony will most likely appear in the first game of the finals." ā
Popovich started setting off smoke bombs again.
