basketball never sleeps

Chapter 175 After all, not everyone is qualified to be my big brother
"The Pistons have done the best they can, but unfortunately, they met the more powerful Heat."

"Detroit is still one of the best defensive teams in the league. Their attitude and ability are still worthy of respect, but if they want to win the game, they need to do more than just do a good job of defense."

"The Spurs used to be based on defense, but now they have also changed their rhythm and played a fast break following the pace of the times. Attacking to win the audience and defense to win the championship will be a thing of the past."

On the second day of the game between the Heat and the Pistons, ESPN experts commented with a very positive tone.

Are defenses winning championships a thing of the past?

This is a setting that is difficult for all old-school coaches to accept.

But as far as the Eastern and Western Conference finals are concerned, this is the truth.

Don't look at this year's finals between the Spurs and Pistons in history, which created the lowest scoring average and lowest ratings in the finals for several years, and think that this year's Spurs will only play steadily and play defense.

No.

In fact, before the Finals, the Spurs spent most of their time in the Western Conference playing fast breaks in accordance with the version.

Nash, who stepped on his old club and touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, originally made the fast break tactics bigger and stronger to create another glories.

But turning around, the Spurs defeated the Suns in the way the Suns do best.

Western Conference Finals G1, Spurs 121:114 Suns.

There was no overtime, and the two teams played a wonderful confrontation in regular time.

Those who knew it was the Spurs, those who didn't know thought it was the Mavericks who came back after changing their skins.

It's just that one game may not show anything. In G2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs shot down the sun with another fast break.

Popovich, who claims to hate three-pointers the most, witnessed his team shoot 21 three-pointers.

Highlight a mouthful of integrity.

In these two games, Uncle Bao didn't even come out, he just focused on defending Marion, and won easily.

Facts have proved that the Spurs have the ability to play the game well.

Of the 4 conference finals teams, 3 are mainly offensive. Doesn't this explain the problem?

And O'Pang's arrogant speech of "champagne up" unexpectedly did not get much questioning.

American media reporters are much more lazy than domestic paper kings, but they will come to watch the game live.

In the past two games, as long as the Big Three of the Heat are on the court together, the Heat must take the initiative in that scene.

There are some things that cannot be reflected in the data, but they cannot be ignored when watching the game.

ESPN is still considering which team will win the championship, and TNT, which likes to work hard, has already begun to discuss who will become the MVP of the finals.

"Although I am a Sun star, to be honest, I am looking forward to what the Heat will look like after they win the championship, because only when the Heat win the championship can the FMVP selection mechanism really work."

Ever since the Suns lost two home courts, Barkley's expectations for the Suns have dropped again and again. The Suns' defenseless attitude is really not like the Spurs' opponents who can be fast or slow.

Simply stop pretending, it's a showdown, I've been a fan of the Heat for ten years!

"If you want to say that...it's true."

Kenny Smith subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he got to his mouth, he realized that there seemed to be nothing to refute.

"Judging from the current performance of the Heat's three stars, it is true that everyone has a chance."

"Although Shaq has been in decline in the playoffs this year due to injuries, he is Shaq after all, so I still believe that he is the most favorable contender for FMVP."

"Wade, as the current core and arrow of the Heat, undertakes most of the offensive and scoring tasks. In the last two games, he has picked up part of the organizational tasks. I think he is not much worse than last year's Kobe."

"Mo, it's really hard for me to say. On the surface, he is the core of the Heat's playmaker. Although Wade has given Wade a lot of ball handling tasks in these two games, he is still an important supporting point and scoring point for the Heat. And He's the healthiest, too. But he's always played a little less passionately than Wade and Shaq."

"If he can show the momentum of the previous 50+ triple-double in every game, or get a 40+ in the finals, then I think he should have a good chance."

···
On the flight to Detroit, after more than half an hour of discussing the good life of winning the championship in the future, the cabin loaded with the Heat's players returned to silence again.

Wade stared blankly at the three small snacks of different shapes in front of him, a little dazed.

"If you have a chance, I suggest you think more about yourself, Dwyane."

"That guy is old, I didn't mean to spoil your relationship, but you have to know that he is old, you are the most important one for the Heat, if you don't want to be under him for so many years like me, you You need statistics and you need honors to prove yourself."

He remembered the phone call from Los Angeles last night, which was a bit inexplicable, but the manager who was next to him at the time and A Zhan who lived in his home said that the person was right.

It's not hard to guess what the man's purpose is.

In the media's pursuit of boasting, this year's championship seems to have become the Heat's pocket.

He also watched TNT programs, who is the FMVP for?

This is indeed a question worth pondering.

Honor is at hand, and no one can remain indifferent.

Others don't know what's going on in the Heat, doesn't he know?
In theory, Ao Pang can only play for 20 minutes in each game. Like the last game, it’s okay to break out once in a while. Let him stand up every game. That said, the stakes are high.

Moreover, Ao Pang is still negotiating a big contract extension with the team. In order to avoid injuries affecting subsequent contract extensions, he is doomed not to work as hard as Da Ben.

So his competitor was only Mo Wen next to him.

But is Mo Wen really a competitor?

He looked at Mo Wen, who was lazily lying beside him.

Wade bit his lip, struggling to look up at the ceiling.

Mo Wen is not a selfish person. Except for two assists at ordinary times, he seldom pursues scoring. He usually plays as much as he can to make everyone feel comfortable.

All the old players on the team said that Mo Wen was a perfect teammate.

Entering the playoffs, Mo Wen's stats have risen a lot because of his and Ao Pang's injuries.

Wade feels that he is not a selfish person, but that is FMVP!

Although, the FMVP was beaten down by Billups so much.

But, second grade, FMVP, that is also a supreme honor.

In history, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the No. 21 rookie in the West have achieved this achievement.

As a young man who likes to show off, no one can resist this temptation.

When he arrived at the hotel for lunch, Wade, who was overwhelmed with internal friction, pretended to be nonchalant and sat next to Mo Wen.

Seeing that Ao Pang didn't come, he breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting.

"I received a call two days ago, who do you think is calling?"

"Bryant?" Mo Wen, who was brandishing a knife and fork, paused and gave the answer without looking up.

"Hmm! How did you know that?"

"Because I got it too."

"What, he called you too? What did he say?" Wade paused for breath. He seemed to have vaguely thought of something, but he was not so sure.

"He said, let me shoot as many shots as possible, come up with an FMVP, and he will help me get a big contract with Dr. Buss later."

Wade: "???"

"He...he...he told you so?"

Seeing Wade's frightened look, Mo Wen patted his head comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'll just take him as a joke. After all, not everyone is qualified to be my big brother."

"Besides, I can't handle girls in Miami, and Los Angeles is not suitable for me."

···
Mo Wen thought that his arrival had brought a lot of changes to the world, but he still overestimated his influence.

January 2005, 5, afternoon.

In the hotel in Detroit, Mo Wen in front of the TV still witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti completed his pre-match words. Milan broke through Liverpool's steel defense in the opening three minutes. To be more precise, they scored in just 3 seconds.

Immediately after the attack of a group of superstars, AC Milan scored a score of 3:0 in the first half, which was almost a natural gap on a football field.

however--

With 0:3 behind, the classic old song "You will never walk alone" echoed in Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium.

This is also one of the few positive pictures left by English fans or Liverpool fans with English in history.

Immediately afterwards——

6 minutes of darkness...
In the penalty shootout, Shevchenko's right-footed shot was blocked by Dudek...

Mo Wen, who was watching the game on the sofa, wrapped up a small blanket silently.

Look at those crying Italian beauties with pear blossoms and rain on TV, how cute... oh no, how pitiful.

Do not know why.

He also seemed to see the disappointment and tears of the Miami beauty.

The legend of opening champagne at halftime is naturally false.

Who is serious about sports before they win?
Maddie: Don't cue, it's very annoying.

("If it was last year, I would already be thinking about my opponent in the next round" is false, Tmac's original words are "It feels good to enter the second round!")
But the power of metaphysics cannot be ignored.

After all, time travel has happened, what else can't happen.

Damn Shaq, you know some jokes can't be messed around with? !

The sports world in North America is a relatively closed circle. After all, many Americans do not know that there are other countries in the world besides the United States. Relatively, outside sports leagues are not the focus of their attention.

However, because this reversal is so amazing, even if football has no market in North America, it will soon be known and noticed by everyone.

The two teams that were 2:0 received a lot of encouragement from this "miracle".

Pistons: Isn't Liverpool just us?A team of blue-collar workers, a rough and orderly defense, they can do it, so can we, so it doesn't matter if we fall behind, I have the advantage in this wave.

Sun: Evened the score in 6 minutes, I understand, I have to continue to speed up, what the hell!

Almost coincidentally, both teams used Liverpool's example in their pre-match press conferences.

On May 5th, the Eastern Conference Finals G27 kicked off at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At the airport in Miami, a ditch head about 2 meters walked out of the terminal under the escort of two bodyguards behind it.

"Hey, hello, is James there? It's me, Anthony. What the hell am I here? Where are you guys?"

"Where am I? Let me take a look. Terminal P-11 is right at the entrance. Hurry up. If you slow down, I'm afraid I will be recognized."

"What, there is no Terminal P-11, it's impossible, it's in such big characters... Wait, let me ask someone... That's right, it's P-11."

"Detroit doesn't have P-11s... no way."

"Hey, wait, where are you talking about? Detroit?"

　This is not water, I am afraid that everyone will get tired of watching the game all the time...
