the rest, only noise

Chapter 1495 You can be as happy as you want when the time comes

The day after the 76ers were eliminated, they got a consolation prize.

Wilson and O'Neill were selected together for the first round.

In addition to them, the other three candidates for the first round are Bodi Loga, Kobe and Duncan.

To some extent, the selection of the two increased the embarrassment of the 76ers.

As the only team in the league with double first-team players, it has stopped in the semifinals for two consecutive years, and the ways of losing are similar, which can only prove that the 76ers have structural problems.Moreover, this problem is not something that Wilson and O'Neill can solve.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Yuqing, who played the best performance of his career, squeezed out many players and was selected as the third team of the best team.

He is the first Chinese player selected to the best team in history.

Playoffs continue.

The four teams that made it to the conference finals this year are the same as last year.

But the result was different.

The defending champion Heat will fight against the Knicks again. Unlike last year, Duncan can no longer abuse New York's restricted area as he pleases.

The benefits Webber brings to the Knicks are no small feat.

Although Webber and Duncan are not players of the same level, having a superstar at the [-]th position is very critical for the Knicks at this stage.

Because the Heat itself only has Duncan as an inside superstar, in addition to Webber, the Knicks also have the old Ewing and Dalembert and Randolph, two plug-and-play rookies.

Moreover, this year's Heat does not have the perfect chemistry like last year.

The main reason is Stephen Jackson and Gilbert Arenas.

Both want more ball possession, and the Heat can no longer play as smoothly as they did last year.

After the first four games, the defending champion who was optimistic before the game fell behind the Knicks 1-3.

第五场，邓肯只休息2分钟，在46分钟内砍下45分18篮板4助攻6盖帽，艰难地从纽约人手上赢下比赛。

After the game, Rudy Tomjanovich looked at the statistics and said in disbelief: "Thank God, Tim doesn't have any more helpers. We have a lot to sum up, but I can guarantee that Tim will not have this again." performance."

The desperate Heat united, and Billy Donovan gave up the "Soul of Louie". Every road coach didn't have a hard core, but in the sixth game, he directly let Duncan play for 48 minutes.

Tomjanovich, who just said a few days ago that Duncan would not have the performance of the fifth game, watched Duncan beat Ewing to exhaustion and let Webber leave the field for six fouls. The Knicks had to let Dalem Porter came up to guard the penalty area.

This is how Duncan plays when the Heat are desperate.

He scored a career-high 56 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in the sixth game, but this was enough to make him a great performance, but he met Miller who turned into "Noah".

There's something to be said for Reggie Miller's Game [-].

Miller is very clear that if Duncan is forced to drag the game to the seventh game, then everything will be hard to say.

In his view, Duncan is like a combination of Ewing and Sampson, and a superstar who has no flaws, has a great offense and a great defense, and is enough to make everyone around him as great as he is. Seven is too risky.

In the fourth quarter, Miller scored six three-pointers in a single quarter, making Duncan's superb performance come to naught, and Liu Yuqing, who responded to his three three-pointers, also looked eclipsed.

114 is better than 108
The Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-2 and advanced to the Finals.

At the end of the fight, Duncan couldn't even lift his hands.

Since entering the league in 1997, this is his first real loss.

Ewing came over with a cheerful face, and gently hugged Duncan, "You played well, the future is yours, but now I am going to win my ninth ring."

After finishing speaking, the gorilla, who never knew how to take care of each other's feelings, went to send Donovan his best wishes.

The future is yours.
What kind of person can come up with such hateful words to bless the future of his defeated opponent?
Duncan secretly decided that when he was old, he would also find a victim to say this sentence.

When Ewing saw Donovan, the first thing he said was: "Have you been in contact with that person recently?"

Donovan knew that the man Ewing was referring to was Louie.

"I haven't contacted you for a while. I heard that Coach Lu has been taking care of his health recently."

"Oh, then I can only say goodbye to you, Billy." Ewing said again, "You guys are great, the future is yours."

Ewing still didn't know why Louis insisted on making him say this to Duncan.

From the standpoint of the winner, this sentence sounds cheap.

But he enjoys this kind of "generosity" that he wins and now gives the future to his opponent.

However, Ewing, who gave Duncan the future, did not win the present.

The popular candidate for the number one center in history came to the finals with confidence, but was suppressed by the talent of the Lakers.

It is also a combination of young and old, the combination of Garnett and Malone, or the combination of Malone and Ben, the effect is obviously stronger than the Knicks insider.

The main problem is with Webb.

The top power forwards of this generation seem to be mutually reinforcing. Garnett has nothing to do with Dirk Nowitzki, and he will be suppressed every time they meet. Webber does not have much weight in front of Garnett, and he will be beaten violently in the matchup.

Ewing is too old, Webber adapts to become soft, and the Knicks' hopes fall on Hill, Tracy McGrady and Miller.

As a result, Kobe and McGrady exploded each other, Artest choked Hill's offense, and Miller played a ghostly game.

The Knicks, who were aiming to win the ninth championship of the Ewing era, fell in the sixth game.

With a big score of 4 to 2, the Lakers defeated the Knicks and won the cup for the fifth time in six years. Garnett, who completely blasted Webber on both offense and defense, was elected FMVP.

Kobe is the MVP of this season, and Garnett is the FMVP of the Finals. In the Miracle Generation, three people have become MVPs. It seems that Garnett will be elected MVP sooner or later.

Although Nash can't see signs of mutating into an MVP-level player for the time being, who can be sure that he will not be able to do so in the future?

So far, most of Louis' prophecy about the Generation of Miracles has come true.

Professional basketball is under their rule.

Seeing Deng, Ke, Jia, Bo, and Na like this, people can truly realize how powerful the Lakers were when they gathered these people in the first team.

Louis has been quite free recently, because the Celtics only have a second-round pick this year, and basically they can only pick up the misses.

The first-round pick was given to the Lakers as early as last year.

Fortunately, the Celtics have a good record and did not send a lottery pick to the defending champion.

The Lakers got the 22nd pick in this year's first round from the Celtics.

Louis has always said that Zhao Yuanzheng is a very spiritual person.

This year, Zhao Yuanzheng used the Celtics' first-round pick "flexibly".

He didn't read his own scout's report, but called Louis directly to ask who to choose.

"Old Lu, just say who is most worthy of the No. 22 show this year."

Louis was blindsided when he received the call.

The Lakers are so strong now, isn't this mid-to-late first-round pick just a waste?What about other teams if they draft another useful player?
Of course, whether the Lakers are strong in the short term has nothing to do with Louis.

He Kai is now rebuilding the team, the championship or something, he doesn't care how you fight for it.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't help you, but we have been friends for so many years, and it is not appropriate for me not to help you."

Hearing what Louis said, Zhao Yuanzheng knew that things were not simple.

"Let's go ahead, I'll give you a suggestion, you give me your No. 29 pick in the first round."

"That's easy to say."

After the two finished summing up, they began to talk about business.

Louis asked professionally: "Which position do you want to strengthen?"

Zhao Yuanzheng thought for a while and asked, "I prefer wing players with long arms and legs."

Louie decided to work hard on the championship team.

"Tyshaun Prince, if someone picks ahead of you, you can also try to trade him back. He is the most worthy player at this position."

Zhao Yuanzheng immediately remembered the name, and he believed in Louis' vision.

Just as he was about to talk about something else, Louis on the other end of the phone started to talk: "About your first round, I'll trade you with any random player."

Zhao Yuanzheng said sensiblely: "Just be happy."

"I'd be happier if you sold me your second round."

Our second round?Zhao Yuanzheng remembers that the Lakers are the 29th pick in the second round this year.

In theory, this position is not much different from losing the draft.

"Okay." Zhao Yuanzheng smiled, "However, the old way, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. I made you happy. Do you have to express it when we draft next year?"

"That's easy to say, and you can be as happy as you want at that time."

It's hard to imagine that this is a conversation between a godfather and the shadow general manager of a wealthy team, it's very crooked.
