NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

In a [-]-square-meter office, a white man sat in the middle at his desk. There was already a report on the Naik spokesperson plan on the table in front of him, which was placed on the table by his assistant.

The man picked up the report with his right hand and twirled the lower left corner of the A4 paper with his left thumb. After briefly flipping through it a few times, he put the report aside and looked up. The computer screen in front of him was showing this year's NBA Finals. The real-time status of the game.

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Eastern Conference Finals. The suddenly emerging Washington Wizards crushed the Heat, who were missing Bosh, to the ground in the first two games. It seemed that this space battleship had just sailed out of the harbor and was about to be perverted by firepower. of enemy troops sunk.

It can be seen from the different colors of the links displayed on the web page from other links that the man had already read the statistics and post-match news about the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals before checking the report sent by his assistant.

"Hmm! Li Kaiming? It's interesting..." The man held his chin with his index finger and thumb, as if thinking, and then pressed a button next to his right hand.

A cheerful bell rang, and hurried footsteps soon came from outside the office door. The sound came from far away and soon reached the door.

Benedict!Benedict!Benedict!

"Come in!" The man then shouted, and a young man wearing a professional suit walked in, "Supervisor!"

"I've read Karl's report. Except for the part about exonerating them, which I don't like, the rest of the plan was pretty good." The man pointed at the documents on the table, and the assistant immediately came to collect them.

"As for what they said about taking that Li Kaiming under our Naike, I think it's a good idea, but before taking him back, you have a more important thing to do now." Seeing the assistant's eyes turning around, The man pondered for a moment, and then said, "Go and walk over to Stern. We have invested enough in LeBron James, and it's time to reap the rewards..."

The assistant was shocked, but his face remained calm and calm, "Okay, I understand."

……

It may be that the conference finals schedule in the East lags behind that in the West, so during this away trip, the Wizards did not get three or even four days of rest like before. Instead, they followed the same rhythm at home. Two days later, on June 6st, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals will begin in Miami!

So after the second game, the entire Wizards team rushed to the away game without stopping. This precious time during the day must not be used on the road. Besides, Washington is several hours away from Miami by plane, which is quite a lot. Yu flew from the northernmost tip of America's mainland to the southernmost tip.

Therefore, something as relatively insignificant as resting is naturally put together with the rush.

On the second day after arriving in Miami, there were still many training and video sessions, but the rest on the plane obviously could not meet the needs of the Wizards players, so everyone was not in good condition.

Fortunately, the advantage of arriving a day early is that you can have a good sleep the next night. After a night of recovery, when the sunshine poured on the Miami beach on June 6, the Wizards players had already recovered. Seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

Before the Wizards even boarded the team bus to head to American Airlines Arena, head coach Sanders had already received the news.

“The Heat’s Chris Bosh is coming back for this game!”

When Sanders relayed this news to the Wizards players, the players who were training stopped and then looked at each other. Finally, Li Kaiming broke the silence and asked the questions in his heart on behalf of everyone.

"Has it anything to do with us?"

"Ahem!" Sanders choked on Li Kaiming's question, then rolled his eyes and said, "I know you are very confident, but Chris Bosh is back and we need to make some adjustments in the rotation. At the very least, we can’t let Bosh play against our bench.”

In fact, there is one thing that Sanders has not said, that is, Bosh cannot be allowed to face Lewis in the rotation stage. After all, although the latter is also a 208-foot-sized power forward, he does not like it because he is older. The kind of confrontation. If he faced Bosh, wouldn't he be eaten alive?

Although Sanders didn't say it out loud, the Wizards players knew it, so everyone focused their attention on Lewis. Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Lewis' face immediately turned red, but he couldn't tell because of his dark face.

"Isn't it Bosh? Just be careful. There is nothing to be afraid of. Really..."

Crowd: ...

Finally, Li Kaiming stood up and said, "Coach, I can play more tonight, I have enough energy!"

A smile appeared on Sanders' face. He was waiting for your words, and then Sanders gave a few instructions.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Lewis, who was stunned in place and messy in the wind.

Who am I, where am I...

The pre-game interview in the evening can be said to be very lively. There are many people in the world who want to watch the excitement, especially the excitement of the Heat's Big Three.

Last season, Shituoling was bloodbathed by the Silver Horn King, and this season it seems that it will be overthrown by newcomers. This kind of peerless good guy has been rare in decades for both reporters and fans, so almost everyone has a good reputation. All the media sent reporters to squat at the scene, waiting for tonight's protagonist to appear.

When the Heat's Big Three and head coach Spoelstra appeared on the scene, the reporters instantly became a sensation. Dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the four people who were seated one after another. They wanted to rush up and stuff the microphone into their mouths so that they could make it easier for themselves. Get first-hand news.

"Eric, before the last game you said that Chris Bosh's comeback was not planned for the time being, but before this game he urgently announced his comeback. Are the Heat in trouble without him? Chris Bosh's comeback can Can we solve this problem?"

It was such an embarrassing question from the beginning, and Spoelstra's expression was naturally not much better. "Chris is an important part of our team. Without Chris in the first two games, our opponents were asking for everything in our penalty area. I I think Chris' comeback should solve this problem."

After interviewing the coach, the next step is the highlight of the pre-game interview.

"LeBron, what do you think is the main reason why the Heat fell behind 0-2?"

James' face was very gloomy, "Our opponents played very hard and were very smart. They knew how to take advantage of their home court, but when we get to our home court tonight, we will definitely get the game back."

It seems that losing the first two games made the Heat anxious. Not only did Bosh have to make an emergency comeback, but even the pre-game interview phase was on hold, making the reporters who finally came to the scene express their displeasure.

However, the pre-game interview is just an appetizer compared to the game itself. Perhaps knowing that the team is in crisis, Miami fans are particularly enthusiastic tonight and have already begun rehearsing to boo the Wizards during pre-game training. Team.

After the game started, the entire American Airlines Arena turned into a sea of ​​white. Tens of thousands of fans wearing Heat-themed white short-sleeves stood in the densely packed auditorium. If you are a patient with trypophobia, Standing in the middle of the field, I'm afraid the two forces would fight and collapse on the spot.

The entrance ceremony before the game is also very formal. In this kind of game, the pre-game ceremony is actually to prepare the home team for tonight's game, lower the momentum of the Wizards, and cheer for the Heat players.

After everything was ready, the starting players of both sides stood in the middle circle. Blatche and Heat starting center Turiaf stood in the middle of the circle. It seemed that Bosh really came back from injury. For the sake of insurance, Spoelstra did not let Bosh Start directly.

As the whistle blows, the game officially begins!

Blatche undoubtedly crushed Turiaf again in the jump ball, helping the Wizards suppress the Heat from the beginning of the game.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and followed the usual tactics. Li Kaiming stepped forward to cover. This time, two players from the Heat team double-teamed Li Kaiming. Hinrich took this opportunity to drive straight in and cut to the basket with one knife. The Heat center Riav came to help defend, Hinrich passed the ball high and fed Brac an alley-oop under the basket.

And just when the Wizards players thought this would be an ordinary alley-oop, Wade rushed in from the outside. He jumped high, then stretched out his arm and hit Blatche hard with a snap. On the arm!

This slap was so powerful that Brac lost his balance in the air, and the dunk naturally failed.

However, the referee at the bottom line didn't seem to want to blow the whistle...

Blatche quickly got up and complained to the referee, then turned his head and rushed towards the backcourt to defend.

Referees are also human and make mistakes, not to mention this is an away game, so it is normal to be slightly biased towards the Heat.

Sanders complained symbolically on the sidelines, and then comforted himself in his heart, but he would never have thought that this was just the beginning...

The first quarter was not over yet. Blatche, Li Kaiming, and Leonard each received two fouls and had to come off the court for protection.

Damn it, it’s okay to play the main role, why would you also play when I’m on the bench?

Sanders still underestimated the referee's determination to take away the game tonight. After Thompson switched to James, the number of fouls exceeded 3 in just half a quarter. Even Lewis, who barely stretched his hands on the defensive end, also I got fouled after coming on the field...

At halftime, the Wizards' starting five fouled at least 2 times, Leonard had the most 4 fouls, and the rest all had 3 fouls. Even the main players could not play. The Wizards were naturally 41 behind the Heat 54 to 13. point.

The first half was so dark, the second half can always be a little bit more normal...

But Sanders and the Wizards players still thought too much, especially when Li Kaiming left the field with 2 fouls in less than 6 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Wizards finally understood.

As the number one odds-on favorite before the start of the season, as well as the so-called top stars in the league, how could the league let you pass them easily? In tonight's game, the Wizards players will not only face the Heat, but also major players from all major leagues. Team owners, NBA management, various sponsors hidden behind the scenes, and even some gray industries such as betting bookmakers, etc...

Such a group of people are screwed together, let alone the Wizards, the 96 Bulls have to kneel down when they come!

At the end of the game, the Wizards lost to the Heat 79-101 on the road, and the series score came to 2-1.

Li Kaiming only played 28 minutes in the game, and due to fouls, these 28 minutes were cut into pieces. Therefore, he only took 14 shots in the game, hitting 8 of them and only 4 free throws. 20, scoring 4 points, 3 rebounds and [-] assists. Judging from the statistics and performance, this game may be his worst game this season.

On the opposite side, LeBron James' game was as described by the media as a god descending from the earth. He scored a triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. It is worth mentioning that he made 24 free throws in the whole game, one person better than the Wizards. The whole team combined has more...

However, this did not prevent the great King from smiling and saying at the post-match press conference, "We are getting better."
