Chapter 94 New Challengers Have Gathered
But just when everyone thought that this year's East and West finals would be scripted, Carmelo Anthony almost tore up the script in the first game of the Western Conference finals!
Carmelo Anthony scored 39 points in a single game in this game, showing his top scoring ability praised by all media people.

It's just that while he scored 39 points, Kobe Bryant on the Lakers side soared even more fiercely, scoring 40 points alone, 1 point more than him.

The Lakers also relied on his fierce firepower to defuse the offense of Carmelo Anthony, who was holding a "Gatling" chug.

In the end, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers and Nuggets finished playing according to the script.

However, after this game, the fans finally knew why Caron Meytoni was called "a ripe fruit" by so many media this season...

This melon is really cooked!

Hong Lei came to ask, and he was familiar with the kind!

This also makes the fans look forward to the remaining games of the Western Conference Finals. They all want to see what kind of trouble this Nuggets can bring to the Lakers who are aiming to win the championship...

Anthony on the west side almost tore up the script, while Howard on the east side directly tore up the script.

What finals 23vs24!

What LeBron James vs Kobe Bryant!

What is the transfer of rights between Alliance No. 1!

With Lao Tzu here, shout these slogans slowly!

28 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single game...

In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, Dwight Howard directly contributed this kind of data that could only be obtained by insiders in the 90s.

With his performance like this, the Magic beat the Cavaliers 108-105.

LeBron James performed bravely, scoring 42 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but he still had no choice but to become the background board!

In this game, Dwight Howard perfectly interpreted the wise saying "defense wins the game" that is regarded as the truth by many head coaches in basketball!
With him on the inside of the Magic, it was as if he was really banned, and any guy who tried to get close to the basket was stopped.

"Cavaliers, don't think you are stable!"

The Orlando media posted this after the Magic won Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Obviously, winning this battle will greatly improve Orlando's morale!
It was also because the Magic had the next leg first, and the Eastern Conference Finals, like the Western Conference Finals, seemed to have a lot more suspense, even more suspense than the Western Conference Finals.

After all, the Magic won in the end, and the Nuggets fell short. It is still unknown whether this will have a positive or negative impact on their morale!
However, there is no doubt that these two rounds of the series have become more concerned by fans since the first game. This is a certainty.

It is worth mentioning that Howard led the team to win the Cavaliers game, which also had a certain impact on Lin Ri who is training.

"The sun, you can watch Dwight Howard play more. Some of his defensive practices should help you!"

This is what Gentry said to Lin Ri after the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In fact, he wanted to say it a long time ago... He hoped that Lin Ri could watch more Dwight Howard games.

Dwight Howard just won his "Best Defensive Player Award" two days ago. This is the first time in his career that he has won this trophy that is as valuable to a defensive player as the regular season MVP.

This represents his dominance on the defensive end has been recognized.

Just considering that Dwight Howard will encounter the "wheel battle" of the Cavaliers' insiders in the Eastern Conference finals, he originally thought that Dwight Howard would be exhausted, which is of little reference value.

Unexpectedly, the "Tiger" was not consumed by the "pack of wolves". Instead, he overthrew the entire Cavaliers' inside group by himself, and continued to show his dominance on the defensive end.

Then this game is a classic!
Lin Riduo will definitely learn a lot by looking at it.

After all, Howard also has the physical advantage on the defensive end.

Lin Ri said nothing: "I see, coach."

He agreed.

In fact, even if Gentry didn't say it, he would watch it. He watched the first game.

He not only watched the Magic play the Cavaliers, but he also watched the Nuggets play the Lakers. The Lakers also have very good inside players, and he also has something to learn.

Sandek let him and James Harden watch the video of the "New Utah Shuangsha" in Salt Lake City, and the pick-and-roll ability of the two of them rose rapidly during that time.

At that time Lin Ri realized that this is a good habit!
Of course, good habits have to be persisted.

"Dwight often blocks the big Z behind him on the defensive end. The latter is so much taller than him. If the Cavaliers miss the shot, wouldn't it be difficult for him to defend like this to grab defensive rebounds?"

No, the next day he discussed with his defensive coach some of Howard's defensive habits around the basket.

Even if Dwight Howard overthrew the inside group of the Cavaliers by himself, he did some operations that Lin Ri couldn't understand.

The defensive coach couldn't explain clearly in a sentence or two, so he rewatched the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals with him.

The two carefully studied Dwight Howard for a long time.

The interest picked up, and when we had dinner together at noon, we dug up the video of the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets and discussed with the Lakers Twin Towers for a while...

In the next few days, as the East and West finals were played game by game, this interest continued.

In the process of Lin Ri's research with his defensive coach, the East and West finals gradually reached the fourth, fifth, and sixth games...

I have to say that the excitement of these two rounds of the series really exceeded the expectations of too many fans. The Cavaliers and Lakers who were originally thought to be "walks" did not have such a big advantage, and the Magic and Nuggets, who were considered to be "send heads", were not as weak as everyone thought.

Especially the Magic, after being upset in the first game, they returned home and won two consecutive games. Before the fifth game in the Eastern Conference Finals, they led the Cavaliers 3-1. In the first four games, they only lost once at the home of the Cavaliers.

This strong momentum caught everyone's attention.

So even if they failed to kill the Cavaliers in the fifth game, the outside world didn't think the Cavaliers could win.

Because of the sixth game, the Magic will return to their home court!
The Cavaliers have yet to win at home to the Magic in this series!
Facts have also proved that the Cavaliers are indeed not the opponents of the Magic this year. The Cavaliers lost in the sixth game...

And, slightly different from the previous 5 games, LeBron James is also a little lost in this game!

In the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James averaged 37.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8 assists per game. He scored 5+ points in 35 consecutive games. It can be said that he has achieved the ultimate in both offense and defense.

It's a pity that he didn't perform very well in this game. He only scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and failed to lead the team to continue to be strong.

Well... The reason why LeBron James didn't play very well is because Dwight Howard scored 40 points and 14 rebounds in this crucial battle... If Dwight Howard had already blown up the inside of the Cavaliers before, then he directly crushed the inside of the Cavaliers in this game.

The inside line of the Cavaliers was defeated in front of him!

"Warcraft" single-handedly ended the "Little Emperor"'s desire to enter the finals again, and replaced the quota for this year's finals!

At the same time, the entire Orlando is boiling. This is the stage for the Magic to reach the finals again since the 94-95 season, and the final runner-up is also the best result in the history of the Magic!

For Orlando fans, this year's Magic has been revived!
It's just that their opponent in the Finals made them a little desperate-their opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers.

After the Nuggets lost to the Lakers in the first game, although they still wanted to overthrow the Lakers in their momentum, they slowly followed the two-game losing streak in the third game and the fourth game.

Many fans even sighed after watching the Western Conference Finals: "There is no second-round match between the Lakers and the Rockets!"

The Lakers played seven games against the Rockets in the second round.

Inspired by Yao Ming's finger injury and being reimbursed for the season, the bloody Rockets perfectly interpreted what is "Texas Undead Xiaoqiang"!Exhaustion of all means dragged the Lakers to the seventh game of the series.

It can be said to be the only loser who can walk down with his head held high this year.

The Nuggets' battle against the Lakers in the first game of the Western Conference Finals allowed fans to see the possibility of them catching up with the Rockets in the excitement of the game, but unfortunately they did not continue the momentum of the first game.

"Oh? These two sets of insiders are about to meet, coach, who do you think will win?"

Through the observation of these two rounds of Eastern and Western finals, as well as research and discussions with defensive coaches, Lin Ri has gained a lot.

Now that the two groups of his research subjects are about to meet, he is full of anticipation, and wants to see what kind of response these two high-quality insider partners will come up with when they meet each other!

However, Lin Ri is looking forward to returning to Lin Ri, and the outside world is not optimistic about this set of duels.

In the eyes of many media, the Lakers are stronger than the Magic in every aspect, and the "three towers" of the Lakers are not comparable to the Cavaliers' patchwork, old, young, and small insiders.

A lot of gossip also came out. David Stern was very dissatisfied with the Magic's finals. He thought it would be a bad finals.

It can be seen how unfavorable he is to the Magic!

In short, in the eyes of many people, Kobe will finally get the fourth championship ring in his career, which is also the first championship ring he won as the absolute core.

The fact once again did not exceed everyone's expectations, the Lakers simply and neatly killed the Magic 4-1!
The 08-09 season ended with Kobe Bryant lifting the Finals MVP trophy.

The Lakers officially entered the "Kobe era" from the "post-O'Neal era"!
The No.1 throne in the league was officially secured by Kobe.

It is worth mentioning that this is the last championship trophy in the first decade since the NBA entered 2000. The championship trophy in the next season of the NBA will open the second decade of the NBA in the 21st century!

Ten years is undoubtedly a replacement!
Just like the 80s was the battle between "Big Bird" Bird and "Magic" Johnson, and the 90s was Michael Jordan's dominance. In the first decade of 2000, it can be attributed to the "OK" group and Tim Duncan.

After all, if you count it carefully, the eight championship trophies in the past ten years were won by the teams of these three men.

On a more horrifying note...the past decade's NBA Finals teams have at least one face from all three of them.

There is no doubt that the three of them dominated the first decade of the 21st century!
Now that Kobe has won the last championship in the first ten years of the 21st century, it can be regarded as a successful end to their era...

In the past ten years, the "four major shooting guards" have become the main theme of the league, and they have disappeared from the world.

In this decade, the Kings are no longer gorgeous, Seattle no longer has the Supersonics, and Charlotte has one more team called the Bobcats.

Ten years later, the Timberwolves no longer have a "Wolf King", the Raptors have a new "Dragon King", and the "Captain" of the Clippers has changed again and again, and now it has become a "bearded man".

Since then, the "Five Tigers of Civilians" has become a shared fond memory of Detroit fans, the "Three Musketeers" has become the eternal regret of Bucks fans, and the "Golden Two Guns" has also made Denver fans feel somewhat uncomfortable...

So far... the alliance has entered a new era, and new challengers... have also assembled!

　Brothers, please recommend tickets!!!!
