Chapter 604 Chapter 601: Sam Hinkie's Philosophy of Success
Face-to-face with James, a near-explosive conflict with Wade, a super-long three-pointer with bare feet, a low-grade fever of 40+10 in a single game, the largest point difference in the history of the NBA Finals.
Stern never expected that a small final G2 would be able to bring up so many topics at the same time.

Otherwise, Wayne is No.1 in active duty?

It's not just a matter of being handsome and doing a good job, Wayne's ability to create topics is also second to none in the league.

Wayne's perfect performance in G2 in the finals is bound to make the next battle in Miami extremely fierce.

The ratings are stable!
Moreover, no matter who wins the championship in the end, it will be beneficial to the league.

If Wayne wins the championship, then his Trail Blazers will become the first team to achieve consecutive championships after the three-peat Lakers.

And if the Heat win the championship, the league will undoubtedly open a new chapter.

You see, whoever wins the championship is full of topics!

Therefore, even Stern is looking forward to the next three games.

I really don't know what the game will be like. The Heat's three consecutive home games will definitely not allow the Blazers to break through easily.

It would be the best if this game can reach the tie-break~
Even if there is no tie-break, how about six games?
Wayne and the Blazers are good everywhere, but every time they play in the finals, they win too easily.

This money is just not enough for fun!
This time, the game is basically stable after six games, and the probability of a tie-break is also very high.

After all, the Heat and the Trail Blazers, one of the teams, will never lose three games in a row, right?
Thinking of this, Stern felt elated.

Well, it is estimated that Stern forgot the slogan of this alliance-miracles happen here.

In the NBA, nothing is absolutely impossible.

Basketball fans all over the world are discussing the finals between the Heat and the Trail Blazers, but for those stars who have been eliminated, they are now thinking about next season.

The logo man is sitting in his office, looking at the scenery outside the window.

In his original vision, the Warriors must now have at least one championship trophy.

Well, in three years, turning a non-existent Western Conference team into a Western Conference Finals team is actually quite remarkable.

In three years, he reached the Western Conference Finals twice, and was one step away from the Finals twice.

This already speaks volumes about the strength of the Warriors.

However, just six games against the Blazers in the Western Conference Finals is not enough for him.

After all, he is Jerry West, and what he desires is to become the godfather of a generation of champions, not three years after three years, and three years after three years.

Maybe it's because of lack of strength, maybe it's because of bad luck.

But in the eyes of Big Logo, the Warriors are not without opportunities these years.

The first year Paul and Howard teamed up was when the Blazers were in decline.

But the Lakers at that time were in full swing.

In the Western Conference Finals, Yao Ming completely restrained Howard, Love was still immature, and the entire team could only rely on Paul to support them, and eventually lost.

If the Warriors hadn't met the Lakers at the time, and if Yao Ming hadn't been there, would the Warriors still have lost?
Last season, both Yao Ming and Kobe began to show signs of aging, and the Warriors had a chance to make a comeback.

But who would have thought that the Dallas Mavericks, who have always had a low sense of presence, would burst out with such terrifying combat effectiveness, directly giving the Warriors a round trip.

The Mavericks are weak, which is indeed one of the three major illusions in the West.

This season, the Lakers and Mavericks were finally beaten to death. The Warriors went all the way and killed the re-emerging Spurs.

However, the Portland Trail Blazers stepped into the top again.

Thinking of the experience of the past three years, the Logo man just wanted to say: "Sin!"

It always feels like the whole world is targeting this Logo.

The Warriors had bad luck, but the facts have also proved that the foundation of Paul + Howard + Love is very good.

Touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals twice in three years is proof. If this is put in the original history, Paoer can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

However, people's desires are always endless. Even though the hard disk is full of seeds, they still seek seeds everywhere.

Obviously, the floor of the Western Conference Finals has been here twice, but he is thinking about the championship again.

The goal of the logo man remains unchanged, the championship!
And if you want a championship, the best way is to stabilize the current lineup.

Today, he was in the office talking with Howard about an early contract extension.

Next season will be Howard's contract year.Although there is still one year left in the contract, Big Logo is still very worried.

If this fails again next season, Howard enters the free agent market in a fit of anger, and the Warriors will not be able to get it.

The best way is to renew the contract in advance and cook the raw rice into mature rice.

At this moment, Howard knocked on the door of Logo's male office.

When Shushou walked in, there was no iconic sunny smile on his face.He frowned tightly, his expression serious.

Big Logo was very enthusiastic, hugged Howard, and then the two exchanged a few words, asking him if the soul saving work went smoothly and what difficulties he encountered.

But in the end, Howard was the first to cut to the chase: "Let's talk about business, Jerry."

"Okay, I still have the same attitude as before. Let's renew the contract in advance, and the maximum salary is no problem."

"No, we have other things to confirm before talking about this.

First of all, me and Chris Paul, who are we at the core. "

It can be seen that Master Huo came prepared today, and he asked a series of life-threatening questions.

"Everything in Oakland belongs to Paul, but in the final analysis it belongs to you, after all, you are still so young."

"I need an exact answer, Jerry, I've had enough of swallowing it. What have we got for this long?
Nothing at all! "

Howard roared angrily. At this time, he really looked like a ferocious monster.

Big Logo had expected such a situation a long time ago. Now Howard is no longer the obedient kid who was coaxed casually.

"Listen, you can only work together if you cooperate"

"Okay, I see, Jerry." Howard roughly interrupted the Logo man, and then he said firmly while looking at the scenery of Oakland outside the window.

"I applied for a trade. Even if you don't trade me, I won't renew my contract with the team next summer."

The league's No. [-] center, one of the few players in the league who can limit Wayne one-on-one, a man who can only replace James.

Just give Chris Paul the second head?

What a joke!
Howard firmly believes that even without swallowing his anger and relying on Paul, he can succeed.

Although it happened suddenly, the big logo is a big logo after all.

He is still unhurried, in fact, he has already made two-handed preparations.

It would be best if Howard could be persuaded to renew his contract.

If not, it's a choice between Howard and Paul.

The Logo man had the answer before, he chose Paul.

Although Howard has a more powerful physical fitness, he can be called a BUG on the defensive end.

But Paul is more suitable to be a good leader. He is the kind of player who can turn seventy or eighty-point teammates into one-hundred-point players.

Although modern NBA history has not had an example of winning a championship with a point guard as the core, someone as strong as Nash can only win the record in the regular season.

But Big Logo knows that someone will take this step.

That being the case, why can't it be Paoer?
Therefore, West also had plans for trading Howard.

Faced with any situation, he will not panic.

Referral is called pattern!

"Are you sure? Do you really think that if you go to other places, you can get closer to the championship than here?"

"I'm sure, Jerry. Thanks, I've grown a lot in the three years in Oakland."

A few hours later, Lakers general manager Kupchak learned that talks between Howard and the Warriors had broken down.

Don't ask him how he knows, because the whole world knows it.

Well, Howard's agent is the old fairy Fagan.

This person likes to engage in these show operations, exposing the content of the conversation between the two parties, on the one hand to put pressure on the warriors.

On the other hand, just like those people who posted "I broke up" circle of friends copywriting, it is equivalent to telling everyone "I am single, all spare tires come after me!"

In fact, the words "If I don't trade, I won't renew my contract next summer" were also taught by Fagan to Howard.

What bad thoughts can beasts have?He just listened to his agent.

This is expressly prohibited under NBA rules and regulations.

So Stern is also very dissatisfied with Fegan's actions.

In short, with Fagan doing this, the entire league has entered the stage of an arms race, and they are all looking to trade Howard.

And the Lakers are the most active of them.

They need to rebuild a lineup of No. [-] SG + No. [-] C, and catch the tail of the peak!
But the problem now is that the Lakers don't have the right chips.

If you want to reach a deal, you must pull one or two more teams into the pit and make a multi-party deal.

At the same time, the 76ers officially announced that they will appoint Tony Dirio, the vice president of basketball operations who has played in the 76ers' management for 22 years, as the new general manager of the team.

This also means that the strategy of the 76ers will undergo major changes.

On the surface, it was Dirio who became the general manager, but in fact he was just a puppet general manager.

His task is to help the new deputy general manager Sam Hinkie make a smooth transition.

In a year or two, Dilio will be back as president of basketball operations.

To put it bluntly, Dilio has the final say on the team's next plan, and Sam Hinkie has the final say.

And Sam Hinkie was able to impress the 76ers management with one sentence: "Trust the process!"

Now, the situation of the 76ers is frantically rubbing back and forth on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Either you don't go in, or you go in and come out after a while, which makes people itchy.

This team needs a historical superstar, otherwise it is destined to be mediocre.

And the best way to get a historical superstar is the draft!

And, not just one draft, what the 76ers need is a large number of high-ranking picks that last for several years.

Unlike the traditional bad show, Hinkie's goal is very ambitious and clear.

Because he knows very well that even if it is a high-ranked pick, the possibility of getting a parallel import is not small.

You can't always imagine that there are players at the level of James, Durant and Wayne in every draft year.

There is no guarantee that when they appear, there is a high enough possibility to have such a high draft pick.

So Hinkie's strategy was to increase the number of experiments.

If we fail to choose once, we choose twice, if we fail to choose twice, we choose three times, and if we fail three times, we will continue to show bad.

To pile up draft picks, it's better to turn the draft into a 76ers roll call.

In this way, the probability of selecting a cornerstone player is undoubtedly greatly increased.

The Thunder management directly called the experts.

Hinkie knew that his actions would definitely cause an uproar, because he violated the original intention of competitive sports.

He didn't think of a way to win, but a way to lose, and once he lost, he was prepared to lose for several years.

He knew Philly fans would yell at him because they couldn't explain to their kids why his favorite team took pride in losing.

But Hinkie is already mentally prepared. To succeed, these prices must be paid.

The first step in the belief process is to clean up the current star of the 76ers-Andre Iguodala.

It's just that Iguodala's big contract is really difficult to directly exchange for draft picks.

The Lakers, 76ers and Warriors, they all have desperate needs.

A huge summer storm is slowly forming.

Although the news that Beast refused to renew the contract with the Warriors in advance is very hot, but during the finals, the popularity is limited after all.

After all, everyone's attention is on the finals at this time.

The grievances between Wayne and the 03 class, and the superstar confrontation between Finsen and Mousse are the most eye-catching ones right now.

After two days of rest, the series G3 finally started in Miami.

Before the start of the game, a sideline reporter interviewed Bosh and asked him how to keep the home court advantage in the three games in Miami.

After listening to this question, Bosh touched his face exaggeratedly, and then looked at the reporter.

"We won't lose face at home!"

This amusing expression coupled with this irrelevant answer made the reporter conclude that Apo has been beaten into a trance!
At the end of the last game, when Bosh and Haslem high-fived, the mental state was already not normal.

From today's perspective, the wave giant is already terminally ill.

No way, the pressure on the Heat's Big Three is indeed great.

Although he returned to the home court, he still had no idea.

Don't look at what Wade said in the press conference as if it was very hot, but he knows the difficulty of these three games better than anyone else.

As for the Trail Blazers, everyone is determined to win consecutive victories in Miami.

No women, no money, no food here in Miami.

Only as long as the championship!
Before the start of today's game, in order to boost morale, Lao Zhan also habitually started the appearance ceremony of spreading magnesium powder.

At that time, the primary school students were just about to play.It was the first time to see mousse dusted with magnesium powder up close, and the elementary school students were very curious.

So, when James was performing a series of actions, the primary school students watched the whole process from the sidelines, and Sabi leaned down and looked up: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh], Xiaohua's work is really good, and I'm a little cool]."

While James was talking, the elementary school students sighed beside him.

After spreading the mousse, he looked at the Sabi elementary school students beside him, and was really speechless.

I really don't know if this guy is mocking or really worshiping.

anyway
Why is it so difficult to play against a team full of idiots!

Is it possible that we are even fools
Pooh!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Seeing Curry's funny look, Wayne couldn't help covering his face.

You can come back quickly, hold back and embarrass me!
After Curry watched James sprinkle the magnesium powder, he ran back bouncing up and down to Wei Ge's side.

"Papa Wei."

"My son, but it's okay to say."

"I think we should also make a similar appearance."

"Oh? Any suggestions?"

"James sprinkled magnesium powder, look, how about you sprinkled me? Pick me up, throw me up and catch me again, it must be so cool!"

Wayne looked at Curry with an expectant face, pinched his head with one hand, and turned Curry to the other side forcefully.

Then, "Gentle" said: "Go back to my seat quickly! If you are stupid again, you will be finished if I don't cut it!"

Wayne is really angry, the key battle is coming, can you be more serious!

How about throwing you away, is it possible for me, Gao Dewei, to do such sand sculpture movements?
Even if I, Wayne, appear on the stage to dance, even if I do push-ups, I won't throw you away!

Your proposal is really insane.

Although Curry showed off a wave of IQ before the game, his performance in today's game was very good.

Outside the three-point line, Curry made 10 of 6 shots and scored 24 points!
In the second half, even in the face of Wade's personal defense, Curry's offensive momentum did not stop.

However, the best performance today is not Curry, nor Wayne.

It was Gasol who played dead for a long time!

Sister-in-law made 14 of 10 shots today, with an exaggerated 71.4% hit rate, and beat the dazed Abo.

Even Wayne was surprised by the behavior of the old sister-in-law.

He felt really good today, turned into a hooker old man, hooked the basket accurately, and made the Dragon King dizzy.

So much so that Wayne became a tool man in the second half, responsible for creating space for his sister-in-law.

Gasol basically has a steady outbreak every round. When you think he is about to disappear, he will tell you with a shocking performance: "In the wind and rain, my sister-in-law will always be with you."

Curry scored 24 points and his sister-in-law scored 26 points. The two have scored 50 points together.

Under such circumstances, Wayne only took 24 points lightly.

But at the same time, he also sent 10 assists and 12 rebounds, hitting a triple-double.

On the Heat's side, Jun Zilei scored 4 points in 4 of 21 from outside the three-point line, allowing the Heat to keep the score tight.

James also scored 25 points today, making 4 of 2 three-pointers.

It was not easy for Mousse to recover, but
Wade pulled it today!
Under the entanglement of Mr. Tony, Wade's knees are not very comfortable today, so it was extremely difficult.

He made only 19 of 7 shots, 36.8% from the field, and scored 19 points.

Although the overturn was not as thorough as that of Mousse in the previous game, it still couldn't help the team out of the predicament.

109 to 100, the Blazers won the third game with a 9-point advantage when the three of Mrs. Weiku were in excellent condition!

To be honest, if it weren't for Jun Zilei's three-point accuracy today, the point difference would never be single digits.

So in the fourth game, when the gentleman Ray was no longer magical, the Heat lost two games in a row by 88 to 92!

The score in this game was very close, because Curry and his sister-in-law were no longer so magical, and the performance of the Heat's Big Three also stabilized.

The hand-to-hand defense of the two teams made the shooting percentage of both sides not so good.

The game has been very anxious, until the last moment the Blazers only led the Heat by 1 point.

This may be the most intense game in the finals so far.

It's a pity that James made a crucial three-pointer at the last moment, and Wayne quickly counterattacked after grabbing the rebound.

Danny Green and Stephenson, the young couple of the Development League, became famous in this year's finals.

A role player can hit key shots when he stands up. This is this year's Portland Trail Blazers.

When the Blazers hit two consecutive cities in Miami, the entire American Airlines Center was silent.

3 to 1, the Blazers took the lead in getting the match point at the Heat's home court!
Boss Si swallowed his saliva as he looked at the Blazers players celebrating wildly on the court.

Brother Wei, slow down, duck baa butterfly~
You did it so fast, who can resist it!

　The first update is here, begging for tickets~
