NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 354 Another year of finals!
NBA President Xiao Hua also came to the stadium from the auditorium and shook hands with the Lakers players one by one.

He usually presents awards in person at the end of the finals, and this is the first time that he presented awards in person in the Western Conference finals.

Buss Jr. and Kupchak also excitedly came to the court to celebrate together.

Lin Tian is also extremely excited today. In his opinion, after defeating the Warriors, the Cavaliers are really not that scary.

He couldn't even think of how the Lakers would lose against the Cavaliers.

The Warriors have won, are you still afraid of a Cavaliers?
And then he will have five days of rest, which is very important to Lin Tian.

After Xiao Hua presented the awards to the team, Lin Tian and the others participated in the post-match press conference.

After finishing these things, when he returned to his apartment, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

I don't know if he was too excited, but Lin Tian tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

He simply took out his phone to check today's news.

[The Lakers narrowly beat the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker!Top the Western Conference for the second consecutive year and join the Cavaliers in the Finals! 】

[Lin Tian played 20 minutes with an injury and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists!Show off the team leader! 】

[Durant was interviewed and bluntly said that the team played too badly, this is not the Warriors he is familiar with. 】

[Obvious internal strife?After the game, Green said that some people in the team were not united and destroyed the atmosphere in the locker room! 】

[The dynasty collapsed before it was established?Where will Durant go this summer? 】

……

The bad locker room atmosphere of the Warriors has long been known to everyone. With the failure of the Western Conference Finals, Durant's reputation has declined again.

The contradiction between him and Green can even be said to have reached the point of mutual incompatibility.

Although Durant signed a two-year contract with the Warriors, no one knows whether he will stay with the Warriors next season.

The Warriors are a very humane team, especially for some veterans, Green is the previous champion.

If Durant wants the team to trade Green away, no one knows who the Warriors will keep.

Lin Tian shook his head and couldn't help but smile wryly.

If it weren't for his appearance, Durant and the Warriors would undoubtedly win the championship trophy this year.

But his arrival has already completely rewritten history.

For Durant, he can only say sorry in his heart.

As for whether Durant will stay with the Golden State Warriors this summer, this is not what Lin Tian needs to care about now.

Thinking that he was close to the next championship trophy, Lin Tian fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Lin Tian didn't give himself a holiday. As usual, he came to the arena after eating breakfast.

When passing by the collection room of the arena, he took another look at the western championship trophy that he received last night.

This trophy is uglier than the O'Brien Trophy, but it is still an honor anyway.

When I came to the training hall, my teammates had basically arrived.

They won't have another day off until the finals are over.

Today's training is undoubtedly aimed at the formation of the Cavaliers' lineup.

In the past two seasons, the Lakers played the Cavaliers much more easily than the Warriors.

The Warriors have four All-Stars, and the Warriors, at best, have three, and Love didn't even make an All-Star this season.

Such a team is difficult to shake the Lakers.

"Lin! Is your ankle feeling better today?"

Seeing Lin Tian, ​​Nick Yang quickly walked over.

Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "I feel much better."

Of course he's lying, he's been through a tough fight last night and it's not going to be that easy with his ankle injury.

Just to prevent his teammates from worrying about him, Lin Tiancai didn't tell the truth.

Lin Tian's words really pleased the players, Howard smiled and said: "Great! Now we can easily catch the Cavaliers!"

Wade also showed a rare look of expectation: "I have never faced LeBron in the finals!"

He and James are well-known iron buddies in the league, and their relationship has even been rumored to be a good story.

"Wade! I think you should teach James a lesson! He didn't tell you in advance when he left Miami." Howard said.

"Hahahaha! Don't mention this, I will get angry if you mention this! I wish I could dunk him on the head!"

A few people were chatting, and Scott appeared, and he clapped his hands: "Hey! Guys! Get moving and train! Don't be lazy!"

Then, Scott looked at Lin Tian again, "Lin, don't get me wrong, I didn't mention you, your most important task now is to heal your injuries."

Lin Tian nodded, and then began to do zippers with the help of the rehabilitation teacher.

In the past few days when the Lakers and Cavaliers are training crazily, NBA officials and major media are also hyping the upcoming finals.

The marriage between Durant and the Warriors was only regarded as a joke after dinner.

What attracts the most attention is the annual finals.

In the past few days, Lin Tian's training intensity is not high, and his ankle injury is getting better day by day.

On June 6th, the morning of the finals, Lin Tian almost didn't even feel that he was injured.

At 7:1 p.m., at the Staples Center Arena, there is still an hour before the official start of G[-].

After the players from both sides entered the field, they greeted each other quite simply.

Among them, what attracted the most media attention was the friendship between Wade and James. The two chatted for several minutes, but they were not talking about things on the court.

After the chat, James was filled with emotion when he saw Wade return to the Lakers camp.

The reason why he left the Heat at the beginning, in addition to going home, was because Wade's state had declined to a certain extent.

Since leaving the Heat, James never imagined that Wade would one day meet him in the Finals.

If he loses to the Lakers in the finals this time, James' face may have no place to put it.

After the warm-up for both sides, the game began.

The Lakers' starting lineup: Dellavedova, Wade, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker and Howard.

Cavaliers starting: Irving, jr Smith, James, Love and Tristan Thompson.

Compared with last season's Finals, the Cavaliers' starting lineup hasn't changed even a single one.

The Lakers have all changed players in the starting backcourt, or they have strengthened in all aspects.

After the game started, James played the ball for his teammates as usual, allowing Love and Irving to play more singles.

Irving's breakthrough ability is stronger than Curry's, but his three-point ability is weaker than Curry's, so Dellavedova is more defensive against him.

After being Irving's substitute for so long, Dellavedova knows Irving's breakthrough habit very well, and he defended it well.

And Tucker, who has a soft style of play, suffered a lot in singles, and the Lakers established a lead early on.
