Chapter 464

"Honestly, I'm not surprised at what Minnesota did, and they deserved it, it's what a 70-win regular season team has to do, and for them, getting to the Finals is just something they have to do. Things to do. If you want someone else to be happy, they have to lift the O'Brien Trophy."

ESPN's well-known venomous commentator Bill Simmons published his views on the Timberwolves reaching the finals on Inu.

This news has been supported by countless people. For a while, it has received countless likes and reposts.

Then the focus shifted from west to east.The Eastern Conference Finals will be played between the Pistons and the Heat.

Judging from the regular season record, the Pistons have a great advantage.

The Pistons had the second best record in the league with 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season; the Heat were a bit inferior, with only 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season, overcoming obstacles all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although they have O'Neal, O'Neal's aging is a foregone conclusion.

Most people think that the Pistons will reunite with the Timberwolves in the Finals and stage a second round contest.

Pistons star forward Tayshaun Prince said before the game: "I have no disrespect for Miami, but I do pay attention to Minnesota. They are fast and we can't fall behind. We waited for revenge. One year, no matter what, we will not be blocked in the door of the conference finals. I believe we can continue to compete in the second round of the finals."

Since the Pistons won the championship in 2004, they have been a mountain in the East.

Any Eastern Conference team that wants to make it to the Finals has to turn them over.

In the past three years, no team has done it, and they have always been the strongest team in the East.

Now, the first challenger appears.

Under the leadership of the young Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat launched a strong challenge to the king of the East.

Last year's finals exposed the Pistons' weakness in dealing with wing breakers.

Although Wade is only a third-year player, he is already one of the most powerful breakthrough players in the league, especially his pick-and-roll breakthrough, which caused a devastating blow to the Pistons' defensive system.

The old O'Neill still has some residual prestige. Although he is no longer as brave as before, he still occasionally exerts his residual energy.

There is also a group of ambitious and high-quality role players who work together to assist.

For example, Jason Williams, James Posey, Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, and Alonzo Mourning, all of whom were shining a few years ago, are now working together for the same goal. Get together.

In order to blend the team, the Heat spent a whole season until the start of the playoffs.

If you look at them with the record of the regular season, it will suffer a big loss.

After six hard-fought games, the Heat defeated the Pistons and reached the finals for the first time in team history.

The moment the game whistle sounded, Mourning hugged Wade. This little brother who was several rounds younger than him showed incredible strength.

Wade's performance convinced him that they could challenge the Timberwolves.

Yes, it's time someone pulled the Timberwolves off their horses.

If there is such a team, it must be them - the Miami Heat.

In the first game of the finals, Pat Riley cheered on his disciples in the locker room.

He has faced this moment many times in his coaching career: "I know you are excited, save the excitement for now, I need you to show strength against Minnesota, not funny strength to make people laugh, strength to scare them, I Know you can do it!"

"Of course, coach, we even beat Detroit!" James Posey said.

"Minnesota is far stronger than Detroit." Riley said: "What you can do, they can do. As for who is stronger, you have to talk about your performance on the field. This is a war! I hope See a war, not a game!"

Sanders nodded to his soldiers and said: "I know you have been waiting for this moment for a long time, now let the people of Miami know how much you want to win."

"Coach, you didn't talk much today."

Under normal circumstances, Sanders would make a long speech. His chicken soup can always fill people up, but he said so little tonight, so Garnett was surprised.

Sanders said: "Because I know you are all ready, I don't need to say more, I just need you to see your teammates clearly, this game will be beyond the norm. I think you know very well, this will be a normal game. There will be no easy moments in a meat grinder fight like the Battle of Elden, when your bodies are being hollowed out, I need you to look at your teammates, I hope you can feel the strength from each other, this is not alone It's your game, it's all of you!"

"Tonight's starter, Rocco, I need you to keep up with Dwyane's speed." Sanders' words made Ukić startled, and the latter said loudly: "Coach, I will follow up even if I break my leg." he!"

"Sean, Antoine is not easy to deal with." Sanders said to Battier with a smile.

Battier smiled lightly: "Please rest assured, he will get as few points as his hair tonight."

"Sure enough, Duke came out, and the military order is so cultured." Garnett joked.

Sanders looked at Olowokandi and Garnett again: "The inside depends on you two."

"As long as there are me and KG, our inside line is a no-fly zone!" Olowokandi said confidently.

Then, Sanders looked at Bai Jidong: "White Wolf, lead us to victory."

"You look after it." Just like that, Bai Jidong walked out of the locker room with his teammates.

"Today is very interesting. I have never seen the coach so worried." Bai Jidong said to the people around him.

"That's because Miami is so strong," Garnett said.

"Yeah, Miami is strong." The Minnesota wolves gathered in the tunnel.

Bai Jidong stood in the middle and said, "Simply put, if we win four more games, we can have a holiday."

"It's not easy at all," Christie said.

"Yeah, Miami won't give up the championship." Bai Jidong said: "The championship is on them, we want to snatch the championship from them!"

Bai Jidong clapped his hands and raised his voice: "Rocco, even if you break your leg, you can't let Dwyane attack; Sean, Antoine's hairstyle is very nice. I hope his score tonight will be as you said. As much as his hair, Olo, KG, I'm pointing at you inside."

"White Wolf, we have done so many things, what are you doing?" Olowokandi asked.

Bai Jidong said: "I will lead you to win!"

"YES, that's it!" Garnett roared: "Go to the court!"

"You nasty fellows!"

"You wolves of Apolis!"

In the opening match of the finals, Avril Lavigne was invited to sing the American national anthem.

Bai Jidong touched his chest with one hand, and replaced the American national anthem with the Chinese national anthem in his mind.

That is to say, his mind is full of "rise up, people who don't want to be slaves".

This replacement is difficult because the sound of the scene is very loud.

After playing in the United States for so long, Bai Jidong has learned to listen to the American national anthem as "March of the Volunteers".

"OK, this day has finally come. The most anticipated game in the sports world is the live broadcast of the 2005-2006 NBA Finals. Today is the first game of the finals. The defending champion Minnesota Timberwolves will play against the Miami Heat."

Mike Breen first introduced the general background, and then clarified his views: "I think that Minnesota's advantage lies in the core players who are at their peak, the White Wolf and KG, they are both in their prime and have just entered the peak of their careers. Especially the White Wolf, whose dominance has been maintained since the regular season.”

"Mike, what do you think of the Finals format?" Breen's partner, Hubie Brown, asked.

Breen said: "Minnesota has a better chance of winning, whether it is the regular season record or the playoffs advantage, or the ability of the core players, and they have accumulated the experience of winning the championship last year."

After Brin finished speaking, Hubie went on to say: "My opinion is different from yours. Miami is a temporary team formed by various players. They are running in the whole regular season, and it is not formed until the start of the playoffs. Fighting power, and then what did we see? We saw them singing all the way, unstoppable; secondly, playoff experience, which I think Minnesota has far less experience than Miami. Miami has Antawn Walker, Alonzo in the needle Mourning, Gary Payton, and James Posey have more experience than Minnesota, and as for championship experience, don’t forget that they have Shaquille O’Neal who has achieved a three-peat.”

"From the perspective of overall strength, Minnesota may be stronger, but it is not just hard power that determines the outcome of the game. These objective factors can also affect the game." Brown said.

Brin asked with a smile: "So, you are still on the opposite side of Minnesota?"

"Yeah, I think Miami has a better chance," Brown said.

"The game is about to start, let's look down." The two commentators stood in a clear-cut line. Not only will this not arouse the audience's disgust, but it will also increase the attention of the game. Why not do it?

"James, it seems that you have made big news in the east." Bai Jidong greeted Posey.

Percy said, "You seem disappointed?"

"Do you think I can't be disappointed? I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, thinking of a rematch with Detroit. Now that you've screwed me up, do you think you're angry?" Bai Jidong asked with a smile.

"That's no wonder we, the playoffs are like this, the strong stay, the weak out." Posey said.

Bai Jidong said: "The strong leave the weak out, so you are ready to be out?"

"Don't do this." Posey was immune to Bai Weidong's trash talk.

The Heat started with a jump ball.

Wade made a rush with the ball, but Ukic was prepared and didn't let him rush over.

Immediately, Wade controlled the ball and waited for O'Neal to settle.

Although O'Neill is old, the power of the card position has not diminished.

Olowokandi tried his best to entangle him, and O'Neal easily got stuck.

Olowokandi gritted his teeth, "Damn it!"

"DW!" O'Neal yelled.

Wade immediately lob the past.

It is rumored that O'Neill devoted himself to training last summer in order to win the championship, and lost dozens of pounds of weight.

Judging from the actual effect, Bai Jidong can't feel that he has lost weight at all.

O'Neal's figure is still much bigger than others, and Olowokandi is big enough. Behind O'Neal, he looks like a child who is not fully developed.

The height is enough, but the width of the body is twice as short.

O'Neill slammed into it, and Olowokandi took a big step back with a powerful force.

O'Neal followed with a half-turn, slickly grounded the basket, held the ball with one hand and made a small throw, and scored the ball beautifully.

"This is what I said, Shaq's experience, he can still dominate the game, as long as Miami needs him, he is still unstoppable!" Brown cried out.

The Heat's defense is very tight, and Posey is a famous defensive champion.

Now that Bai Jidong doesn't have the ball in his hands, he is actively defending without the ball.

Without Bai Jidong holding the ball, the Timberwolves' outside offense is a bit difficult.

Ukic is still too young, he has never been a starter in such an important game.

Wade's defense is extremely strong, and he may be intercepted if he is not careful.

The ball finally fell into the hands of Garnett.

The person defending Garnett is Haslem, he is an ordinary insider, not as good as Garnett.

Garnett was a little anxious, and Haslem followed his footsteps, sure that he would not break through because there was no time.

Sure enough, Garnett chose a high jumper, and Haslem successfully interfered with his shot.

"Duang!"

Garnett hit the iron out of bounds.
