Chapter 265: Crying with Joy, Durant
On May 31, 2018, the first game of the Finals was played on the Warriors' home court.
The much-anticipated NBA finals have attracted many media reports.
"Audience friends, this is the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, USA, the NBA Finals will be held in the stadium for a while, the annual NBA Finals, this year is still a battle of the Braves, these two teams are the two strongest teams in the league in recent years."
In front of the camera lens, Bingbing, dressed in beautiful costumes, was smiling like a flower, and was introducing the live broadcast of the event.
"The only disappointment is that this time in the finals, the lack of that familiar figure, Chinese player Wang Feng, Wang Feng, who played in the Warriors and Cavaliers in the first three years, is absent from the finals for the first time this year, and I can't see Wang Feng, I believe that the majority of Chinese fans and friends will feel a little lost, right?"
"But it doesn't matter, we have a special guest today, let's say hello to everyone."
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Feng."
Seeing Wang Feng suddenly appearing in the camera, many fans in front of the TV were stunned, and many people scolded him.
"Made! Dog men and women have been eliminated, and they still have to jump out to show their love for dog food, right? ”
"It's a long life! CCTV also tricked the dog in and killed it? ”
Although Wang Feng and Bingbing's relationship has not yet been officially announced, it is no longer a secret in China, and there is too much news.
Located in Los Angeles, the city of angels, he is also the core leader of the Lakers.
Wang Feng, who is single, is like a standard good man, he doesn't go to nightclubs, he doesn't go to bars, and in the face of many beautiful ladies who take the initiative to give hugs or even openly show their love, he also keeps his distance and is neither humble nor arrogant, the only exception is when he is in the same frame as Bingbing.
Not only is it an interview on CCTV Sports Channel, but this situation also often happens on Wang Feng's Weibo and other social platforms.
There have been more than one paparazzi who have photographed Wang Feng and Bingbing going in and out of restaurants together, and even the high-end apartment that Wang Feng bought with a huge amount of money.
The increasingly intimate relationship between the two really caused some waves on the Internet, just as Bingbing was worried, many people said that she was plotting Wang Feng's identity and money, deliberately approaching, and some words were hard to hear.
But not all of them are like that.
There are more blessings or all kinds of ridicule and envy on the Internet.
The personalities of the two are already very good, one is an athlete who wins glory for the country, and the other is a pure reporter who works hard for CCTV.
Now many people are looking forward to the moment when the two are officially announced, and I believe that day will not wait too long.
"Wang Feng, which side do you think will win the finals between the Cavaliers and the Warriors?"
Bingbing asked.
"Of course it's the Warriors, and the difference between the two sides is too big, just like the Lakers met the Warriors in the division semifinals." Wang Feng shook his head, laughed at himself, and continued.
"But the Cavaliers have James, I used to be teammates with him, so I know very well what kind of player this is, even if the overall strength of the Cavaliers is poor, as long as there is him, there will be a fight, and today's game will be very exciting and intense. But if I had to guess the finals score, I would guess 4:0. ”
As a traverser, Wang Feng really knows the trend of this round of the series.
Although because of the butterfly effect, the Cavaliers' lineup is slightly different from another time and space, Thomas Jr. was not traded to the Lakers, but was traded to other teams, so the Lakers lineup does not have Nance Jr. and Jordan. Clarkson.
But these players are only role players themselves and don't affect the game too much.
The truth was exactly as Wang Feng expected.
In the G1 game, the Cavaliers and the Warriors fought hard until overtime, and James did his best, scoring 51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, and his strong performance conquered everyone, including the Warriors' players.
It's a pity that the Cavaliers still lost the game, and the next three games, the Warriors swept the Cavaliers 4:0 and won the final championship.
James averaged 34 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10 assists per game in four games, the highest points and assists per game in both teams, but even then he couldn't recover.
Durant averaged 31 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in 4 games, and was successfully selected as the FMVP of the Finals.
One thing to say, these two seasons have been no different from suffering for Durant.
Burdened with infamy for the championship, he embarked on the most difficult road, but he didn't admit that he lost to the Cavaliers in the finals, and his mentality exploded.
It's entirely conceivable how determined Durant was to stay with the Warriors last summer, and this season is his last chance.
Wang Feng, Irving left the Cavaliers one after another, the Cavaliers completely disintegrated, and there was no team in the entire league that could compete with the Warriors, if Durant could not win the championship in this case, then he would completely become a clown and be ridiculed by the world.
In the Western Conference finals, the Warriors fell behind 2:3 at one point, and when the Rockets took the lead to get the match point, Durant's mentality almost collapsed, but fortunately, the Warriors resisted in the end, and eliminated the Rockets in two games in a row to enter the finals.
This championship is indeed too "difficult" for Durant.
With the Finals FMVP, Durant thanked the team, his family, and everyone who supported him, and promised that he would continue to chase the championship next season.
But Wang Feng knows that if nothing else, I'm afraid Durant won't have that chance.
Next season, that is, the 18-19 season, is a year of many disasters for the Warriors, several main players have suffered more or less injuries, after entering the playoffs, Durant suffered injuries, in order to win the championship chose to force the injury before recovery, resulting in a ruptured Achilles tendon, the season was reimbursed, and the Warriors also lost to Menglong, losing the game 2:4 in the finals and losing the championship.
After that, Durant chose to leave the Warriors and go to the Nets, forming a new partnership with Irving, who did not mix well with the Celtics, and continued to challenge for the championship, but the rest of the story is known to everyone.
Even if the super backcourt combination of Durant + Irving + Harden was formed, the Nets failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
Unless Durant takes a "difficult" path again in the future, it is unlikely that he will win another championship.
……
Compared to the proud Durant.
James seemed a little lonely.
James, who lost the Finals, looked calm, but he was already thinking about what to do next.
