Chapter 174: After all, not everyone is qualified to be a good son
"The Pistons have done the best they can, but unfortunately they're up against a much stronger Heat."
"Detroit are still one of the best defensive teams in the league, their attitude, their ability is still respectable, but to win games, they need to do more, not just defend well."
"The Spurs used to be on defense, but now they've changed the pace and started to play fast, with offense winning spectators and defense winning championships."
On the second day of the Heat-Pistons game, ESPN's experts commented in a very positive tone.
Defending to win championships is a thing of the past?
It's a premise that's hard for any old-school coach to accept.
But in the case of the East-West finals, that's the case.
Don't look at the history of this year's Spurs and Pistons' Finals, which have created the lowest average points and lowest ratings per game in the Finals in the past few years, and think that this year's Spurs will only play solid and defensively.
Not.
In fact, before the Finals, the Spurs spent most of the time in the West playing the fast break.
Nash, who stepped on his old club and touched the floor of the West Finals, originally made the fast-break tactics bigger and stronger and created brilliance.
But as soon as they turned around, the Spurs beat the Suns in the way they do best.
Western Conference G1, Spurs 121:114 Suns.
There was no overtime, and the two teams played a good matchup in regulation time.
I knew it was a spur, but I didn't know that I thought it was the calf who had changed its skin and came back.
It's just that there may not be anything to be seen in one game, the West Finals G2, and the Spurs shot the Sun down with another fast break.
Popovich, who claims to hate three-point shooting the most, witnessed his team shoot 21 three-pointers.
Highlight a mouthful of integrity.
In these two games, Uncle Bao didn't even go out of the mountain, he only focused on defending Marion, and won easily.
It turns out that Spurs have the ability to play well.
Isn't it telling that 3 of the 4 divisional finalists are attacking?
And Ao Fat's arrogant statement of "champagne up" was surprisingly not questioned much.
American media reporters are much more lazy than domestic roll kings, but they will come to watch the game.
In the past two games, as long as the Heat triumvirate is on the court, the Heat must have the initiative on the field.
There are some things that can't be reflected in the data, but if you look at the game, you can't ignore it.
ESPN is still thinking about which team will win the championship, and TNT, who likes to play the whole thing, has already started to discuss who will be the MVP of the Finals.
"Although I am a Suns celebrity, to be honest, I am looking forward to what the Heat will look like after winning the championship, because only when the Heat win the championship, the selection mechanism of FMVP can really work."
Since the Suns simply lost two home courts, Barkley's expectations for the Suns have dropped again and again, and the Suns' all-offensive and defenseless posture really doesn't look like the opponent of the Spurs who can be fast and slow.
I simply don't pretend, it's a showdown, I'm a ten-year old fan of the Heat!
"If you want to say that... And that's exactly what happened. ”
Kenny Smith subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that there seemed to be nothing to refute.
"Judging from the performance of the three stars of the Heat so far, it is true that everyone has a chance."
"Shaq is in decline due to injuries in the playoffs this year, but after all, he is Shaq, so I still believe he is the most favorable contender for FMVP."
"Wade, as the core and arrow of the Heat now, is responsible for most of the offensive and scoring tasks, and in the last two games, he has picked up some of the organizational tasks, and I think he is not much worse than Kobe Bryant last year."
"Mo, it's really hard for me to say, on the surface, he is the core of the Heat's organization, although these two games have given Wade a lot of ball-holding tasks, but he is still an important response point and scoring point for the Heat. And his health is also the best. However, compared to Wade and Shaq's tough style of play, his style of play is always a little less passionate. ”
"If he can show the momentum of the previous 50+ triple-double in every game, or get a 40+ in the finals, then I think he should also have a good chance."
···
On the flight to Detroit, after more than half an hour of discussing the good life of a future championship, the cabin carrying the Heat players was quiet again.
Wade stared blankly at the three small snacks of different shapes in front of him, a little distracted.
"If you have the chance, I suggest you think more about yourself, Dwyan."
"That guy is old, I don't mean to destroy your relationship, but you must know that he is old, you are the most critical one for the Heat, if you don't want to think about me being pressed under him for so many years, you need data, and you also need honor to prove yourself."
He remembered the phone call from Los Angeles last night, a little inexplicable, but the agent next to him at the time and Ajan, who lived in his home, said that the man was right.
It's not hard to guess what the man's purpose was.
In the media toution, this year's championship seems to have become the Heat's bag.
He also watched TNT's program, who is FMVP for?
This is indeed a question worth pondering.
Honor is at hand, and no one can remain indifferent.
Others don't know what's going on inside the Heat, doesn't he know yet?
Ao Fat can theoretically only play for 20 minutes per game, like the last game, it is okay to break out once in a while, let him stand up every game, which is very risky for Ao Fat's troubled body.
And Ao Fat is still negotiating a big contract extension with the team, and in order to avoid injuries affecting the subsequent contract renewal, he is also destined to not be as desperate as Big Ben.
So his competitor is only Mo Wen next to him.
Is Mo Wen really a competitor?
looked at Mo Wen, who was lazy and lazy next to him, lying on his back.
Wade bit his lip and looked up at the ceiling with some struggle.
Mo Wen is not a selfish person, except for the usual two assists, he rarely pursues scoring, and how to make everyone feel comfortable when he usually plays.
The veteran players in the team all said that Mo Wen was a perfect teammate.
Entering the playoffs, Mo Wen's stats have risen a lot, which is also due to injuries to him and Ao Fat.
Wade doesn't think he's a selfish person either, but that's FMVP!
Although, FMVP was knocked down by Billups.
But, the second grade, FMVP, that's also a supreme honor.
Only Abdul-Jabbar and the No. 21 rookie in the West have ever achieved this feat.
As a young man who likes to be in the limelight, no one can resist this temptation.
When he landed at the hotel for lunch, Wade, who couldn't bear the internal friction, pretended to be casual and sat next to Mo Wen.
Seeing that Ao Fat didn't come, he breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting.
"I got a call two days ago, guess who's calling?"
"Bryant?" Mo Wen, who was wielding a knife and fork, paused and gave an answer without raising his head.
"Hmmm! How do you know? ”
"Because I received it too."
"What, he called you too? Say what? Wade's breath stopped, and he seemed to have a vague thought of something, but not so exactly.
"He said, let me shoot as many shots as I can, make an FMVP, and then he'll help me get a big contract with Dr. Buss."
Wade: "??? ”
"He... He... That's what he told you? ”
Seeing Wade's frightened appearance, Mo Wen patted his head comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I'll just think he's joking, after all, not everyone is qualified to be a good boy."
"Besides, I can't handle the girls in Miami, and that place in Los Angeles is not for me."
···
Mo Wen thought that his arrival had brought a lot of changes to this world, but he still overestimated his influence a little.
Afternoon, 25 May 2005.
In the hotel in Detroit, Mo Wen in front of the TV still witnessed the tragedy.
AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti completed his pre-match remarks as Milan breached Liverpool's steely defence in the opening three minutes, more precisely in just 51 seconds.
Immediately under the attack of a group of superstars, AC Milan played a score of 3:0 in the first half, a football field almost a trench point difference.
And yet—
After falling behind 0:3, Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium reverberated with the classic old song - "You Will Never Go Alone".
This is also one of the few positive images left in history by the fans who brought the English or the Liverpool fans who brought the English.
And then immediately after-
Darkness for 6 minutes···
In the penalty shootout, Shevchenko's right-footed shot was blocked by Dudek in the middle...
Mo Wen, who was watching the game on the sofa, silently wrapped a small blanket.
Look at the crying pear blossoms and rainy beauties on TV, how cute... Oh no, how pathetic.
I don't know why.
He also seemed to see the Miami beauties weeping in disappointment.
The legend of opening champagne at half time is naturally fake.
Who is serious about sports and will work before winning?
Maddie: Don't cue, it's annoying.
("If it had been last year, I would have been thinking about the next round opponent" is false, Tmac's exact words are "It feels good to be in the second round!") ”)
But the power of metaphysics cannot be ignored.
After all, the crossing has happened, and what else can't happen.
Damn Shaq, some jokes can't be messed around?!
The sports scene in North America is a relatively closed circle, after all, many Americans do not know that there are other countries in the world besides the United States, and on the other hand, the sports leagues outside are not the focus of their attention.
However, because the reversal was so shocking, even if there was no market for football in North America, it was quickly noticed.
Both teams that were beaten 2-0 were encouraged by this "miracle".
Piston: Isn't Liverpool us? The team of blue-collar workers, the rough and orderly defense, they can do it, we can do it, so it doesn't matter if you fall behind, this wave of advantage is mine.
Suns: 6 minutes to equalize, understand, you have to continue to accelerate, rush special!
Almost inexorably, both teams used the example of Liverpool in their pre-match press conferences.
On May 27th, the East Decisive G3 was launched at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
At the airport in Miami, a ditch head of about 2 meters walked out of the terminal under the escort of two bodyguards behind him.
"Hey, hello, is James here, it's me, Anthony, why am I here, what about you?"
"Where am I? I'll take a look, Terminal P-11, right here at the door, you guys hurry up, I'm afraid I'll be recognized if it's slow. ”
"What, without Terminal P-11, it's impossible, it's such a big letter... Wait, I'll find someone to ask... That's right, it's the P-11. ”
"There is no P-11 in Detroit... I can't. ”
"Eh, wait, where did you say? Detroit? ”
It's not water, it's not water, I'm afraid everyone will get tired of watching it all the time...
