After the whistle sounded to symbolize the end of the race, a handful of streamers fell over the mcI Center!

NbA actually has streamers after every playoff win, but the scale is relatively small, and the biggest is the home championship game, which covers almost the entire stadium.

Li Kaiming and the main players stood up from the bench, and then walked over to high-five the substitutes.

Finally, there was the hug with the opponent, and the Pacers' players were of course convinced that Li Kaiming had beaten them for two consecutive years, so both sides were also relatively friendly.

Paul George even heard Li Kaiming's encouragement to him, but the expression on Paul George's face was a little strange after listening to the encouragement.

Because he clearly heard the guy as big as him in front of him say, "The future is your ......"

Fortunately, Li Kaiming didn't have the bad habit of touching his head like a certain nerd, so he didn't let George who lost the game blow up!

The reason why the two sides are relatively friendly, in addition to the fact that the players are relatively friendly people, there is also a very important reason that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.

If the Wizards win the last game in the tiebreaker, the Pacers will definitely not be convinced, but now that the Gentlemen are swept 4-1, there is naturally no need for conflict.

I greeted the players of the Pacers one by one, and when it came to the last person, Li Kaiming, who was still smiling on his face, suddenly had a frozen expression!

Because this time it was Lance Stephenson who disgusted him all the time!

After doing enough psychological construction, Li Kaiming held back a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying.

"Lance, good fight!"

Lance Stephenson on the other side grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth!

"You're strong, Lee, congratulations!"

Although Stephenson on the field has a bit of a funny mentality, he is still very normal off the field, Li Kaiming hugged him, and the two of them don't know each other anymore.

In fact, Lance Stephenson is okay, although he disgusts you in all kinds of ways, but at least he won't engage in off-the-board moves and dirty moves, and his kind of defense is also allowed in the basketball rules.

The loss in Game 3 of this series was crucial for the Wizards, and the Celtics basically didn't bother the Wizards in the first round, so the Wizards still played at the pace of the regular season.

After losing that game, the Wizards were truly activated in the playoff form, and both the team's tactical system and Li Kaiming's state were significantly upgraded by a level.

This is also the reason why the Pacers couldn't beat the Wizards in the next two games, and when the Wizards showed such a form, no team in this league could beat them!

Ending the series in Washington is the most comfortable for the Wizards' players, as they don't have to fly back to their home court and can sit back and wait for their opponents to qualify.

The Wizards' schedule is the fastest, and the series ends quickly, so they won't know who their opponent is until the next day, so the Wizards have once again ushered in a vacation after the first round.

In fact, there is basically no suspense in the other set of matchups in the East, the Heat team with 66 wins this season and the Bulls who ushered in a major injury, the series score has reached 3-1 a day ago, and tomorrow's game is likely to be the last dance of the season for the Bulls.

The situation in the West is also unexpected, the first in the West, the only Thunder team with 60 wins in the division, was actually beaten 3-1 by the Memphis Grizzlies downstream, and the old and strong Spurs led the Warriors 3-2, if nothing else, the Western Conference Finals will become a matchup between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

The next night, the news came that the Heat easily eliminated the Bulls at home in Game 5 of the series and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Wizards and Heat met in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row!

Last season, Li Kaiming led the Wizards to a difficult victory over the Heat, and this season the significantly stronger Heat made a comeback, what kind of sparks can the two sides have?

The duel on the western side was also quickly decided.

The Grizzlies swept the Thunder 4-1, and Durant's vaunted scoring efficiency was limited to 42 percent under Tony Allen's kraft-like close defense.

That's the strength of the best defensive team for a while, I don't know how to attack, so don't you understand.

The Spurs sent the Golden State Warriors out of the tournament 4-2 and met the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals, and if nothing else, the series between the two teams will be an unprecedented defensive battle!

However, for the players of the Wizards, what happens in the West is not something they have to think about, and the Heat team in front of them is not a good one.

"Okay boys, familiar opponents again, they have a much better squad this season than last season, we need to brace ourselves and fight them well!"

In the Wizards' video room, head coach Sanders clapped his hands while a projector in the conference room began to play clips of the Heat's plays......

At the same time, various sports media and basketball commentators of Emelica also began a heated pre-game discussion.

Although the Wizards are not a traffic team in Emerica, their opponent is the traffic team!

Li Kaiming has been the Eastern Conference ticket king for two consecutive years, but one person can't compare the number of fans with James and Wade Gabosh, plus the other party also has the motherland bonus, and the identity of the son of Emerika, all of which makes the Heat team the team with the most fans.

Of course, there are many people who support the Heat team, and there are many people who hate the Heat team, and the unprecedented peak three have made them accumulate a lot of black fans.

Last season, Kaiming Lee and the Wizards prevented the Heat from reaching the Finals, and this season they have also become the vanguard against the Heat Big Three, so this round of matchups has become a matchup between Heat Big Three fans and the anti-Heat camp in Emelica......

Countless fans and media personalities have taken to social media and forums to share their opinions about the game, and of course, in the eyes of most people, this series will be a very interesting one at the very least.

After a five-day break, on May 21, at half past seven in the evening, in the pre-game interview, Heat player James' speech was undoubtedly the most concerned by all reporters.

"They beat us last season, they're number one in the league this season, they're the toughest opponents, all we have to do is do our best and play hard......"

The Big Three didn't win the championship for two years, which made James restrain a lot in front of the media, and the previous "not one champion, not two, three, four...... Not even seven" James has been hidden in the bottom of his heart.

The interview with the Wizards is more formulaic, and each player seems to say a lot, but a careful analysis reveals that he actually said nothing.

This is Sanders' teaching and regulation for the players, and of course Li Kaiming is also very supportive.

After experiencing the conflict between the rookie game and Arenas, Li Kaiming understood one thing, it is very normal for a team to have contradictions and conflicts, but the hallmark of a mature team is to be able to resolve contradictions and conflicts internally, if the contradictions within the team are all over the media, the team is basically on the verge of collapse.

Besides, the Wizards team at this time is completely on the right track, everyone is doing their part, and there is no need to disobey the coach's command.

In the warm-up session before the game, Li Kaiming came to the sidelines to take photos with the children according to his usual practice, and then signed autographs.

The Wizards know that Li Kaiming has this habit, so every time they arrange some children with poor family conditions to this position for free, this is where NbA does better, humanistic care!

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen above the mcI center.

Wizards: Point guard Sinrich, point guard Klay Thompson, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blach.

Heat: Point guard Mario Chalmers, point guard Dwayne Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh, center Udonis Haslem.

The heat of this series is definitely the highest since the start of the playoffs, as can be seen from the arrangement of tNt's commentators.

Sitting in the commentary box tonight, in addition to one of the veteran commentators at home, Consol, the remaining two people are tNt's ace team Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley!

The pre-match ceremonies and advertisements are all over, and the big battle is about to start!

"Reggie, do you think the two sides have the advantage more obvious from the perspective of the lineup?" Charles Barkley, a loyal fan of Li Kaiming, shook his big bald head and asked Reggie Miller, who was sitting next to him.

The question also caught Consol's attention, and he looked to Reggie Miller with interest to hear what the Hall of Famer and gold medal commentator had to say.

Reggie Miller pondered for a moment, "It's hard for me to see the difference between the two sides in terms of lineups, or in my eyes, the two sides are similar in terms of player configuration. ”

Barkley's eyes widened, "Reggie, what the hell are you talking about, this is the Big Three Heat with James, Wade and Bosh, not a cat or a dog, you actually think they are on the same level as the Wizards' players?" ”

"Don't get excited, Charles, I don't mean that Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson are the same as Dwayne and Chris, on the contrary, I think the latter two are significantly stronger than the former......" Seeing Barkley so excited, Reggie Miller quickly explained.

Leonard and Thompson are not as good as Wade and Bosh, so how do you say that there is not much difference between the two lineups, Barkley pouted, and was about to open his mouth to retort when Reggie Miller spoke again.

"I mean, Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson are not as good as the opposite part, and they were made up by Li Kaiming......"

Reggie Miller's words were a bit tongue-twisting, which made the other two people in the commentary seat stunned for a long time before they reacted.

After figuring it out, even Barkley stared at Reggie Miller's side face in surprise!

Reggie Miller means that although Thompson and Leonard together can only be counted as 1.5 giants, Li Kaiming alone can top 1.5 giants!

In front of the public and in full view, Reggie Miller actually commented on Li Kaiming!

This simply doesn't take LeBron James seriously!
