Chapter 188: New Thunder, Full of Expectations for the New Season!

On June 1, 2009, as expected, the Houston Rockets-Los Angeles Lakers series continued until the final game.

It's an extraordinary playoff game, one of the most classic tournaments in recent years, with countless names born in it and each player playing a vital role.

This time, Yao Ming was not injured, and he stayed healthy and killed all sides on the Lakers' inside, Bynum left the court with six fouls in three of the first six games, and while playing an average of 38 minutes per game, Yao Ming handed over 26.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.8 blocks.

The Last Battle!

What is the fate of both teams?

Before the game, no one could predict the final outcome, although the Lakers occupy the home court advantage, but until now, the momentum of the Houston Rockets is obviously more sufficient, Artest is like a madman who keeps entanglement with Kobe, and the founder of the eye-covering faction, Sean Battier, is obviously two forward-level players, but they follow Kobe every inch, which makes the Black Mamba look very uncomfortable.

But the more critical the moment, the more it shows the strength of the superstar!

From the first second of the game, Kobe Bryant showed the demeanor of the team's superstar, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, no matter who stood in front of him, he couldn't stop his fierce impact on the basket!

However...

Although Kobe Bryant played bravely in the first quarter, the Lakers still failed to pull the score away, and the Rockets clung to the score, relying on Yao Ming's absolute advantage on the inside, and unhurriedly grinded a positional battle with the Lakers to attack.

"It's a brutal matchup, you can't imagine who will win at the end of the game, but no matter what, these two teams have shown us an unparalleled excitement, and whoever makes it to the finals will be the absolute winner in our hearts!"

For the commentator's words, Lin Mu sneered in his heart.

No matter what the game process is, there is never a loser in sports competition!

People only remember the winners, and the losing team loses no matter how good it is!

Different in nature, different in conclusion.

In the field of basketball, there is only one real winner!

The winner can be killed!

When the final whistle blew, Lin Mu looked at the result of the game, and his heart was mixed.

88:87!

The Houston Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, who were aiming for a championship trophy, by one point.

Kobe Bryant's dream journey was shattered again, and the Purple and Gold Army, which should have reached the top, has undergone earth-shaking changes because of Lin Mu's rebirth.

Yao Ming was not injured, although Kobe Bryant still hit Da Yao's knee in the game, but Da Yao, who had already lost weight, did not have a big problem, and after the return of the king, he scored eight points in a row, and in the last three minutes, Da Yao single-handedly turned away the Los Angeles Lakers!

"Win! Our Great Wall, he won! ”

The best Houston rockets, the best red memory!

In his previous life, Yao Ming was the most hopeful year to win the championship, who would have thought that the unfulfilled wish in his previous life would be fortunate to be able to witness it in this life.

"It's such a grand ceremony, an epic battle with the Lakers and the Rockets, they took the game to the extreme!"

Barkley sighed, he has not seen such a wonderful game for a long time, since retiring, relying on the inside line and every attack, Yao Ming is like a giant in the inside line overturned, strong body, fierce collision, that is the ultimate hand-to-hand combat enjoyment, if you want to score easily, you must pay two hundred percent hardship, otherwise it is difficult for you to help the team continue to move forward.

On the contrary, compared to the Western Conference Finals, which played seven games, the Eastern Conference Finals exceeded everyone's expectations.

4:2!

The Orlando Magic relied on a star-studded system to completely slash the Cleveland Cavaliers, who ranked first in the regular season, without giving the opponent any chance, and took the opponent away in Game 6!

James, do your best!

After the game, the relevant media put up such a slogan, the Cleveland Cavaliers' rout came faster than expected, they should have reached the finals, and they met with the Western Conference champions, but they fell on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals that should not have failed.

James averaged 44 minutes per game and was able to record 38.5 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds.

He did it all!

Yes!

James did everything on the court, gave it his all, but still couldn't cross the mountains that the Magic had arranged for him.

"Lin, you guy, did you put a curse on the food of the Cavaliers players in advance?"

Durant was a little confused, saying that the good Cavaliers entered the Finals, why was the script a little wrong?

"James should go, that place, not for him."

Lin Mu knows in his heart that this season's loss will be the fuse for James to leave the Cavaliers, when a seed sprouts in his heart, he will continue to grow over time, LeBron, who belongs to the Cleveland period, is about to leave this city that has not won a championship for many years.

The finals started on June 5, the Rockets were bloodless, defeated the Orlando Magic with a score of 4:1, Yao Ming was elected MVP of the finals, ate and slept to fight Warcraft, Howard, who shined in the East Finals, looked so unbearable in front of the Great Wall of China.

Da Yao was full of tears and picked up the final glory that he had been chasing for many years, Maddie was wearing a handsome suit, this sleepy-eyed super scorer who was criticized by many fans, no matter what, he also fulfilled his wish with the team and became the final champion member!

It was a wonderful journey, full of thorns and full of tears.

The hard work is worth it, and everything Da Yao does is for this small miracle that represents honor.

"Thank you to my teammates, they gave me endless strength. Thanks to my coach, I had a lot of friction with him, but it was all resolved in the end. Our goal is the same, we are like good partners, fighting for the championship in the end. ”

'Of course, I would also like to thank the fans who have always supported me, the encouragement during the injury period, the praise during the low period, these are the reasons why I am here.

"Finally, thank you Lin Mu, he made me understand that I still have a lot of unfinished missions."

In the sincere acceptance speech, the whole team of the Rockets lifted the hard-won O'Brien Cup together, Artest was even more tearful, the tough guy also had iron tenderness, and all the despair was swept away at this moment!

Diamond Scola, Sean Battier, and Brooks, who also did well in the series, will be remembered in history, and even if they are no longer teammates next season, those wonderful memories will continue to be remembered by everyone!

.....

Time flies, and Lin Mu has been soaking in the training room with his friends since the end of the game, unable to extricate himself.

During the training time of 770, there is no rest, as long as you do not lie down, you must train yourself to exhaustion.

Lin Mu didn't care about physical fitness at all, but Durant's physical strength had fully increased in the madness of nearly two months, and Kevin Durant, who didn't have a long standby time, if he could only fight on the court for 32 minutes before, then now, 36 minutes is not a problem!

Note!

Fighting here means going all out!

Wei Shao's shooting is also getting better and better, Lefu's weight is decreasing, three-point shooting has become more accurate, and the spatial No. 4 position has also been instilled in Lefu's brain by Lin Mu.

In the face of Lin Mu's high-pressure defense, Harden seems to have adapted to the rhythm of the NBA in advance, and his performance in the heads-up with Lin Mu is even better than Durant.

"Lin, tell me honestly, did you release the water when you were alone with James?"

Durant was a little angry, how could that stinky boy with a mustache and a look like 55 be more powerful than himself.

"Old-timer, as for you?"

It's really not advisable for you to care about other people's mentality all day long!

No wonder you have to blow up your hair when others say a few words in the future, and your psychological tolerance is too poor.

No, he must exercise his ability to resist hits, whether it is on the surface or on the inside, he must be filled with me!

On June 25th, the familiar NBA draft struck again, and this year is known as the year of the full number of guards in history, and countless young talents, with great ambitions and inner ambitions, will set foot on the stage of chasing their dreams.

At least until the energy despairs, there is hope in everyone's heart.

Before the draft began, DeRozan specially called Lin Mu, saying that he would be selected in the first round and then shine in the team.

One thing to say, because of Lin Mu's rebirth, DeRozan's basketball skills have improved rapidly and have become one of the must-choose players for some teams.

Lin Mu was happy in his heart, if he didn't have to go to Toronto Menglong, maybe the name of "Garbage Brother" would be far away from DeRozan, and depression would not have appeared.

The top pick in this year's draft, without a doubt, has to be Blake Griffin!

Brutalist power forward, synonymous with violent basketball, Griffin's athleticism is visible to the naked eye, and although his reach looks like a toy, his versatility is something that every team can't refuse.

As in the previous life, the Los Angeles Clippers, who won the first pick, did not hesitate to select Griffin with the first pick in the first round, and the champion also smiled, took the hat printed with the Clippers logo, and started his new life in Los Angeles.

When the camera was given to Curry, Lin Mu also smiled slightly, this kid was afraid that he was a little tormented in his heart.

Like the college days that were once unfavorable, Stephen Curry, who entered the NBA league, was also not favored.

No high-pick team is willing to waste draft picks for Curry, this is the rumor of the outside world, as far as Lin Mu knows, whether it is the Knicks or the Warriors, they are bound to Curry!

It's just that the confident Knicks were put on the spot by the Warriors, and they thought that their interest was not high, but no one could have imagined that their goal from beginning to end was this "baby-faced assassin" with accurate three-point points!

The Grizzlies did not change their choice, and acquired Hashim Thabit, an interior center from Tanzania, a rough but extremely physical No. 5 player, who played his dominant defensive performance at the University of Connecticut, and even broke the block record held by Aranzo Mourning in his sophomore year, which once shocked the American basketball world.

The Grizzlies still chose Tabit despite having Gasol Jr., and it is clear that Grizzlies management is very optimistic about Tabit's prospects, and with the presence of Will Brook and Conley, they don't think the Grizzlies need to choose a guard player.

But!

Tabitt's future performance will be a big disappointment for the Grizzlies.

Pick up flowers!

In the previous life, the draft pick that should have belonged to the Thunder changed because of Lin Mu's rebirth, and the Thunder only got the qualification for the No. 22 pick in the first round due to the record, and the Timberwolves, the team that hoarded countless draft picks, was lucky to get the No. 3 pick.

Which player will they choose?

According to the current player structure of the Timberwolves, there is no need for them to choose interior players, they are already weak on the outside, and when the guard breaks out, they can also choose a suitable point guard or a strong forward.

James Harden!

Unsurprisingly, the Timberwolves chose James Harden, who excelled in college with the third pick!

There is no change from his previous life, Harden is still the third pick in the first round, but the team has changed, no longer the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Lin Mu in front of the TV, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Harden, but it was in his bag!

Sure enough, five minutes after the Timberwolves drafted Harden, a trade happened!

Interchange!

The Oklahoma City Thunder used Jeff Green to complete the swap with the Timberwolves, and James Harden was finally traded to Oklahoma in the first round!

"Green was traded? Just now? ”

"I'm blanching! Thunder has started charity again? Green had a great season last season, and even a fool can see that his potential is huge! ”

"A rookie player who has proven himself in the playoffs, why would the Thunder trade him?"

Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, the Thunder have done another fortune boy, the same as last season's trade with the Rockets.

"I don't understand, why would the team trade me?"

Jeff Green, who learned the news, was shocked, Lao Tzu has made some names in the league, why do you exchange me for a first-year rookie?

I don't understand!

Lao Tzu is so unpopular with you?

Green held his breath in his heart, and at the same time secretly vowed that when he met the Thunder next season, he must make them look good!

Regarding Green's departure, Lin Mu shook his head with a sigh.

But he didn't say anything, because this is the league, Harden is what Lin Mu wants, the team has fulfilled Lin Mu's wish, and Green's departure needs to be blamed on Lin Mu.

Lin Mu is not a good person, he just wants to go further in this alliance.

The Satamento Kings used the No. 4 pick to acquire two-way guard Tyrek Evans, another representative of the debut at the top, and if the Kings hadn't used those stunts, Evans might have had a more legendary career if he had been playing the role of guard.

After that, the draft didn't go much wrong, the Golden State Warriors won Stephen Curry with the seventh pick, Lin Mu, who wanted to pick up the leak, sighed, my elementary school student, after all, went to the homeland of fame.

The same is true for DeRozan, who was drafted by Toronto's Menglong with the ninth pick, and his journey to the north began.

The Thunder held the No. 22 and No. 25 picks, plus two second-round picks, and under Sam's operation, the veteran Watson plus the No. 22 draft pick was sent to the Indiana Pacers as chips, and the Pacers sent the No. 13 pick in the first round to complete the swap with the Thunder.

In the previous life, Watson, who would have gone to the Pacers in the offseason, made an early trade, plus the No. 22 draft pick was completely within the Pacers' acceptance range, and the players they value will not have a team to compete with, so they pushed the boat and completed the deal with the Thunder.

With the 13th pick, the Thunder did not hesitate to take Jrue Holiday who would be known as "Holiday Brother" in the future, while the Pacers used the No. 22 pick to take Tyler Hansbrough.

Lin Mu's college teammate, Darren Collison was selected by the New Orleans Hornets with the 21st pick in the first round, and after graduating in four years, he can be regarded as successfully stepping into the NBA league.

For this reason, Lin Mu specially sent blessings to the former old captain, no matter what the road ahead, Gan is finished!

With the final first-round pick in the picture, with Jeff Green sent away, the Thunder need to secure a decent bench at the No. 4 spot.

Ty Gibson!

The player, who played against Lin Mu and one of the gangsters on the Bulls' bench in the future, was cut off early and joined the new Oklahoma City Thunder.

In the second round of the draft, the Thunder gave away some cash and the No. 24 pick in the second round, completed the draft trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and won the older Jeff Green, who was nicknamed Real Ama by netizens in his previous life.

At this point, the Thunder's 2009 draft came to a successful conclusion, and all the players Lin Mu needed were earned, although he lost Jeff Green and Erterson, two high-quality players, Lin Mu understood that they were going to really take off in the new season!
