Listening to the words of general manager Steve Cole, Mike D'Antoni, as the head coach, was obviously a little shocked:

"Pack up and send out Amare and Sean? Steve, I heard you right, right? Both of them are All-Star caliber players! ”

"Amare averaged 32 points and 8 rebounds per game in this year's playoffs, which is a superstar's billet, without Amare and Sean, are the Suns still the Suns?"

D'Antoni's mustache stood up, and he saw Kerr's behavior as a desecration of the Suns' success this season by severely undermining the team's existing system.

You must know that even if the Suns failed to reach the end of the playoffs, they have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to last season.

Mike D'Antoni is also a well-deserved head coach.

De Shuai believes that as long as the Suns' current main lineup is maintained, and the team will definitely be able to do well next season if they are strengthened under the framework of Nash, Stoudemire and Marion.

But now the general manager is so ruthless that he wants to send Stoudemire and Marion away, which is an unacceptable result for D'Antoni to say anything.

Steve Cole, however, seemed calm, and explained with a smile on his face:

"Mike, I have never questioned your coaching ability, and I believe that you will lead this Suns team to play better in the future!"

"But in my opinion, finding a way to trade to get Lin and establish him as the core of the team's future will allow the Suns to have a broader future!"

"Amare and Sean are indeed strong and have potential, but how can their ceiling be compared to Lin?"

"Lin is less than Dwayne and Shaquille in terms of shooting power in the Heat this season, and he can still play such an efficient performance, doesn't it say it all?"

Kerr's emotions also became agitated, and he now regrets not knowing how much he regretted not following Nash's advice last offseason to chase Lin Fei with all his might.

So much so that if you want to get Lin Fei now, you can only choose to send away the two all-stars with the highest scores in the team.

D'Antoni was unmoved by Kerr's words, admitting that Lin Fei is very strong, and if the Suns can get Lin Fei in the existing framework, then the overall strength will definitely soar a lot.

But if it is in the way of sending Stoudemire and Marion, then even with Lin Fei, lacking a strong forward and interior line, the double guard of Nash and Lin Fei may not be able to lead the Suns to win the championship.

"Lin's growth is obvious to all, he will become an MVP-level superstar, and the attributes of the perfect 3D player are also very suitable for the Suns' tactical system!"

"But to get Lin at the cost of sending away Amare and Sean, this is something I firmly disagree with!"

"I think the team has to stick to Amaré and Nash, and in the next three years, Phoenix will definitely be able to win a championship!"

In the face of D'Antoni's confidence and stubbornness, Steve Cole didn't say anything more and could only sigh lightly.

exchanging Stoudemire and Sean Marion for Lin Fei is indeed very risky, and if he fails, he is likely to be fired by the boss.

Moreover, if the Heat finally win the championship this season, the team's contradictions will be covered up, even if Steve Kerr wants to bleed heavily, Pat Riley may not agree to send Lin Fei away.

But Lin Fei is not fully compatible with the current system of the Heat, and with his strength and potential, he will definitely not be willing to be the second child by Wade's side all the time.

If the Suns don't fight for it and let other teams cut off Lin Fei, then the Suns in the next few seasons will have one more strong opponent in the league.

From this point of view, Kerr naturally doesn't want the Heat to win the championship, and he expects the Spurs to defeat the Heat Big Three and expose the contradictions within the Heat in advance.

Although the mustachioed D'Antoni did not approve of Cole's use of Stoudemire and Marion in exchange for a Lin Fei,

But as the founder of the run-and-bomb tactics, he naturally coveted the technical characteristics of a top 3D player like Lin Fei.

If the Suns really have Lin Fei, the overall strength will definitely not be worse than the Heat.

But if you want to get Lin Fei without moving the main force, the feasibility is almost zero.

"Lin and the Heat have only signed a two-season contract, if he doesn't prioritize renewing his contract with the Heat, then we can try to pursue him with a maximum salary at that time!"

Steve Kerr shook his head and sighed: "Amare only has the last year left on his rookie contract, and if you want to keep him, you must give him a maximum salary, plus we have already given Sean a maximum salary in advance!" ”

"And Nash's big contract, these three guys are already close to exceeding the salary cap, how can they have the money to pursue Lin with the top salary?"

"So if you want to get Lin, Amare and Sean, you have to go at least one!"

D'Antoni tentatively said: "It's really not good, you can use Sean and Quentin Richardson to pack for Lin, I just don't know if Pat Riley will agree!" ”

Cole shook his head and smiled: "Mike, you underestimate Pat Riley too much, how could he do such a loss-making business?" ”

As the popularity of the finals continues to soar, various media experts have also stood in line, and the public relations departments of the Spurs and Heat have also bought the media through operations to build momentum for the team.

The Heat's 12-game playoff winning streak, the core lineup of Trinity stars and three All-Star starters is unique in history.

Miami-related media even compared the GDP of the Heat Big Three and the Spurs, believing that in addition to Duncan's ability to fight with O'Neal,

Parker and Ginobili are completely out of the same magnitude class as Wade and Lin Fei.

The Spurs were naturally not to be outdone, deliberately fabricating the discord between Lin Fei and Wade, amplifying the contradiction of the conflict between the two balls, and wanting to destroy the unity of the main lineup in the Heat team.

The day before the G1 finals start.

In the training hall of the American Airlines arena.

The Heat players are actively preparing for tomorrow's Finals, and Lin Fei is asking Jason Williams for some dribbling skills.

Wade tried his hand at three-point shooting and now shoots at least 500 three-pointers a day.

Because the projection level does not have an advantage in guards, Wade is more serious about training and strengthening his shortcomings.

Head coach Stan Van Gundy, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, was reading the newspaper with a big belly, and he had a sports newspaper in his hand.

"Lin and Dwayne clash of ball possession is inevitable, did Dwayne steal Lin's regular season MVP?"

A stark news headline caught his eye, and Stan Van Gundy, who was instantly angry, jumped to his feet, eager to tear the newspaper up.

"This is definitely something that the Spurs' public relations team made up again, trying to separate the internal unity of the Heat, they are afraid that they are dreaming!"

Spoelstra, the chief assistant coach next to him, quickly debunked the inside story, then looked at Wade and Lin Fei, who were training on the court, and smiled confidently:

"Dwayne and Lin are both open-minded people, and I'm sure they'll be able to get along peacefully in the Grand Final!"

Stan Van Gundy doesn't have any worries either, knowing that this year's Heat are unbeatable.

Even himself, the head coach, is obviously suspected of winning by the three cores of the Heat.

Throughout the regular season and playoffs, according to ESPN's official statistics, Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy was the head coach with the fewest timeouts per game.

Stan Van Gundy believes that the Heat will be able to win the championship this season, and even the old Spurs will not be the Heat's current opponent.

But next season, next season, there are huge hidden dangers behind the team's success.

Avoiding the Heat's players, Van Gundy sighed in a low voice to Spoelstra beside him:

"No one thought that De Wayne and Lin would be able to grow so quickly, even Michael Jordan, who entered the league back then, was nothing more than that!"

"Although Lin and Dwayne are not in conflict now, next season, these media tricks may really appear!"

"Two basketball geniuses, no one would be willing to assist the other, after all, they are still so young, not like Shaquille is already 33 years old!"

Spoelstra naturally discovered these problems, and the more respectful Wade and Lin Fei were, the more obvious this contradiction became to others.

"It's a bit of a grievance to let Lin keep playing like this, but now that the Heat are united, our goal should be to win this season's championship regardless of everything, isn't it?"

Big Van Gundy smiled and patted his right-hand man on the shoulder, nodded and said, "You're right, next season's matter, let's wait until next season to solve it!" ”

But Stan Van Gundy quietly asked himself a question in his heart:

If the Heat can only keep Wade and Lin Fei alone to lead the team in the end, is he more inclined to keep Dwayne Wade, or Lin Fei?

It was a difficult choice, but Stan Van Gundy knew there would be a day when the choice would come.

Seeing Lin Fei on the court pass Jason Williams with a beautiful crossover, he hit a three-point jump,

Stan Van Gundy remembered Lin Fei at the beginning of the season.

This guy's growth is really terrifying.

As Lin Fei gradually practiced his dribbling ability, he also had a certain level of strong offense with the ball, which completely bid farewell to the previous 3D image of not being able to dribble and only shooting three-point shots and defending.

There has never been a precedent for building a team around a pure 3-and-D player in the NBA today.

That's why, at the start of the season, Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy were more inclined to put Wayne Wade on top of the team.

But now Lin Fei has become more and more well-rounded, and his extraordinary learning and improvement potential makes Stan Van Gundy feel that Lin Fei will eventually become an all-round warrior.

And when the time comes, he will seem to be a strengthened version of Kobe Bryant, with the strength to compete with the peak Jordan, enough to become the core boss of any NBA team.

Build a team around such a superstar, will the box office be less? Will there be fewer fans? Will there be fewer championships?

Obviously, in Stan Van Gundy's mind, Lin Fei and Wade, he is more inclined to the former.

In the office of the general manager of the Heat.

Pat Riley put down the newspaper in his hand, and the expression on his face became solemn.

This season, the Heat are united, winning 12 consecutive games in the playoffs, and the probability of winning the championship is even more crushing the Spurs.

In Riley's view, as long as there are no big surprises in this year's Finals, the championship will be the Heat.

Now that the Finals are just around the corner, everything else doesn't matter, it's the top priority to help the Heat win their first championship in history.

But the natural contradiction between Lin Fei and Wade made Pat Riley have to think and plan in advance.

If Lin Fei and Wade really can only keep one at that time, who will he choose?

The arrival of the finals has made the entire city of Miami rejuvenated.

In the three days leading up to G1 of the Grand Finals, Miami International Airport received a noticeable increase in visitors, and the American Airlines Arena was never short of fans throughout the day.

Today's American Airlines Arena, the new version of the huge poster on the outer wall, the position of the Heat Big Three has also changed, Wade, who won the new MVP, stands in the C position, and O'Neal and Lin Fei are on the left and right.

More Heat fans are also more inclined to admit that although the credit of the Big Three varies, although Wade's popularity and influence are not even as good as O'Neal and Lin Fei,

But now the core boss of this Heat team is Dwayne Wade, and Lin Fei and O'Neal can only be relegated to second place.

After negotiating with the NBA headquarters, Celestial Drama TV specially filmed the Celestial Empire commentary team led by Director Zhang, Yu Jia, Yang Yi and Su Skirt.

Commentary on this exciting round of the NBA Finals live.

With the rapid rise of Lin Fei and Da Yao in the NBA, the huge potential of the Celestial Empire market has also attracted the attention of David Stern.

Starting next season, the NBA will also launch the Celestial Empire game during the preseason, allowing NBA teams to play in the first-tier cities of the Celestial Empire, and the relevant matters are still in preparation.

Because the G1 Finals match was played on the weekend, it was chosen to start at 1 p.m. local time in Miami.

And this time is about half past one in the morning on this side of the Celestial Empire.

Although the live broadcast of the game was advanced from morning to 1 am, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans of the Celestial Empire.

Many loyal fans of the Heat and Lin Fei are even more excited to watch this Finals G1 at night, because it seems to ignite the enthusiasm of the fans even more.

Some fans called three or five friends and friends at home at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, set up a table in front of the TV, made a few snacks, and chatted while waiting for the finals.

Bars in cities all over the Celestial Empire are also extremely hot, almost all of them are preparing to broadcast the NBA Finals live in the early morning.

For these NBA fans, this day is undoubtedly their holiday.

"The finals at half past one in the morning, it feels like a Champions League game, it's so burning!"

"Liverpool staged the Istanbul miracle in May, and tonight's Heat and Spurs should also give fans a classic battle!"
