Chapter 118 Durant Leaves The Team? ! The Finals Against The Spurs! (Ask For Automatic Subscription)
Miami, USA.
American Airlines Center.
at the home of the Miami Heat.
The New York Knicks, playing away from home, won the final victory.
They eliminated the defending champion with a big score of 4:2.
The Knicks became the team that finally made it out of the Eastern Conference.
NBA Commissioner David Stern came to the court and presented the Knicks with the division championship trophy representing the Eastern Conference championship.
With the praise of Knicks players, Chu Han, as the representative of the team, won the silver Eastern Conference Championship trophy.
"Keep it up in the finals, Chu."
David Stern stood next to Chu Han and patted the young man on the shoulder: "I am very much looking forward to your performance in the next series." 1
"Of course, I will continue to do so."
Chu Han nodded in response.
Defeating the Miami Heat is only half the battle.
Just because the New York Knicks entered the finals doesn't mean they have won the final championship.
The real challenge is yet to come!
Only by winning the final championship will the Knicks be truly successful this season.
Compared with the carnival of all Knicks members.
The fans at the American Airlines Center looked very frustrated.
As the defending champions, they stopped in the Eastern Conference finals.
The dream of establishing a Heat dynasty was shattered.
More importantly, it is a foregone conclusion that Loeb/Long James will leave the South Coast.
Not only did the Heat fail to establish a triple crown dynasty, they may even disband the team that won consecutive championships in the past two seasons.
This is also the reason why many Heat fans at the scene were unwilling to leave.
They are unwilling to accept the reality that the glorious Miami Heat will be destroyed in an instant!
But the reality is so cruel.
The Miami Heat are likely to "reshuffle the deck" with their defeat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals!
in an office on the upper floors of the American Airlines Center.
Team general manager Pat Riley has already begun making plans for the offseason.
After James left, the Heat still retained the team of Wade + Bosh.
Even if we patch things up, we still have the strength to fight in the east.
But Wade's degradation is visible to the naked eye.
Riley needs to start planning: When Dwyane Wade can no longer support the team's core position, what kind of cornerstone player does the Heat need to take over the lead?
This is an issue that divine operators need to consider.
Even in his future plans, even Dwyane Wade is not the player who must stay.
The NBA is so cruel.
Even if you are the soul of this team, when you lose your former peak strength, there is still a possibility of being traded by the team!
Of course.
Will Wade be purged this summer?
Who knows~
"I'm very happy that we are back on the stage of the finals. I remember the last time the team entered the finals, it seemed like more than ten years ago?"
Post-match press conference.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson's joy was written on his face: "However, entering the finals is not the time to relax completely. We have more difficult tasks waiting for everyone."
"Now is not the time to be happy. Only if we win the next series, that will be the real time to celebrate..."
Although at the beginning of the season, the Knicks management, and even the whole world, never thought:
The Knicks, who traded Anthony for rookie Chu Han, could actually eliminate the Eastern Conference teams all the way, advance to the Eastern Conference, and advance to the finals?
people usually think that:
It is enough for Chu Han to perform at his level in the first year.
Who cares what results they will achieve this season!
but now.
When the Knicks really make it to the finals, can't you allow the Knicks coach to make some assumptions?
Anyway, we have entered the finals, and we are only four wins away from the final championship.
Let me put it this way: After winning the championship, it is the time when the team really deserves to celebrate.
Not too much, right?
Coach Mike Woodson doesn’t think it’s too much.
"Coach Mike Woodson, congratulations on advancing to the finals. So in the next finals, which team do you want to face more?"
Reporters on the scene asked questions.
The overall situation in the east has been decided.
In the West, although the Spurs lead the Thunder 3:2, don't forget it.
Oklahoma has Dewey's second youngster.
If these two sledgehammers start to swing, the result of G6 is really hard to say.
The situation in the west is not as clear as in the east.
"It can be any team."
Coach Mike Woodson answered fluently: "Whether it's the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder/Thunder...
"Being able to advance out of the Western Conference means they are the best team in the Western Conference."
"I just hope that I can meet the best team in the Western Conference in the finals and give everyone a wonderful series.
"That's all."
What Coach Woodson said was very level.
The situation in the west is indeed unclear.
The Spurs clearly have all the advantages, but Dewey has all the possibilities.
Therefore, he chose not to offend anyone. He said: Beat whoever wins. This is definitely a statement with high emotional intelligence.
It's different from the cheerful postgame interviews here with the Knicks.
In the Miami Heat's post-game interview, the tone of the entire venue was highlighted by one word - mourning!
Team coach Spoelstra attended alone.
Not a single Heat player was with him.
It is worth mentioning that.
Not only were there no Heat players accompanying him.
Many reporters guarding the door of the Heat locker room did not even see any Heat players walk out of the locker room door.
They have locked themselves in the team's locker room from after the game until now.
No player has ever left here.
"This was a failed season and the team's coaching staff needs to be held accountable for it..."
Facing this huge crowd of reporters alone, "Coach Spoelstra came up and took the blame first:
"Throughout the season, the team's tactical system continued to have detailed problems, but the team's coaching staff did not pay attention to these details."
"In the end, our carelessness throughout the season cost us a heavy price in this series.
Coach Spoelstra decisively took the blame. He placed most of the responsibility for the team's failure in the Eastern Conference Finals on himself and the team's coaching staff.
As for the players?
"Our players had a great season and were under tremendous pressure from the first game of the season.
Just like Coach Spoelstra said.
As the defending champion, the Miami Heat lost to the Philadelphia 76ers led by rookie McAway at the beginning of the season.
Since that game, the entire Heat has been in extreme doubt.
As James lost to Chu Han in the selection of various weekly best awards and monthly best awards.
This huge pressure made the entire Heat team breathless.
Under this kind of pressure, they finally reached the Eastern Conference Finals and almost achieved the feat of entering the finals for four consecutive seasons.
In Coach Spoelstra's opinion, this is already quite a difficult achievement.
"I'm proud of the performance of my players."
"All Miami Heat fans, rest assured, we will win it back next season!"
Coach Spoelstra's post-game interview also highlighted a high emotional intelligence.
Take the initiative to take responsibility for the failure and at the same time excuse your players.
The road he has taken has been broadened.
"Next season?"
However, the reporters at the scene obviously did not want to let Coach Spoel go just like this. They keenly captured the key words: "Coach Spoelstra, we all saw that LeBron/Long took the initiative to foul and requested to be kicked off at the end of today's game.
"He even took off his Miami Heat jersey and left the game early.
"Does this mean his career in Miami is over?"
"Next season, will we still see LeBron/Ron James wearing Miami's No. 6 jersey?"
The Miami Heat want to win back the games they lost this season next season.
The first necessary condition is that James don't leave.
But there are various signs from the last moments of this game.
James' departure is inevitable.
Without James, how can the Heat rebound strongly next season?
"I can only say that I have no comment on this issue."
Faced with reporters' tricky questions, Coach Spoelstra chose to refuse to answer: "The team management has not talked to Loeb's team..."
"What decision will he make this summer? I don't know."
Spoelstra really doesn't know how to answer this question.
Whether James stays or goes in the summer is no longer something that coach Spoelstra can control.
In fact, this game may be the last time Spoelstra coaches LeBron/Lon James as a coach.
The next time the two meet, I'm afraid it will be as rivals!
The reporters at the scene seemed to want to dig out some hard facts.
But coach Spoelstra directly refused the follow-up interview, stood up and left the venue.
His retirement represents the official end of the Miami Heat's crazy Big Three era.
After the thrilling series between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks ended.
On all major networks in the United States.
There are endless voices of discussion.
Some people think that Chu Han has become a god this season.
"To be able to lead such a Knicks team, eliminate the defending champion Heat, and advance to the finals, I think Chu Han's performance is enough to be called the best season performance in history!"
"Don't forget, he's just a rookie, guys, this is his first season!"
"In his rookie season, as the absolute core of the team, without strong support around him, he can advance to the finals. I'm afraid I won't find another player like this in NBA history!"
Although, in NBA history, there are players who won FMVP in their rookie season.
The man called Magic Johnson.
But Magician has Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by his side!
Who is around Chu Han?
Some people may say that there is an All-Star starting center Tyson Chandler.
But in fact, the fool said:
Did Chandler become an All-Star starter because of his strength?
That obviously depends on the votes of the Chinese fans!
Why did China fans vote for Chandler?
Isn’t it because of being influenced by Chu Han?
in other words.
Tyson Chandler does not have the ability to start in the All-Star Game. Chu Han leads the team to the finals with a single core!
In his rookie season, he led the team to the finals with a single core. Isn’t this a god-like performance?
Some people also think: James may want to form a new Galaxy Battleship.
"LeB/Ron James can't give up. This summer, the NBA is destined to not be peaceful!"
"I'm starting to look forward to summer
With the news in the free agent market, which team will LeBron/Long go to? What kind of new lineup will he form?"
"No matter what teammate he ends up choosing, I think he needs to find a good wing defender."
"Yes, no matter what LeBron/Long decides in the end, he will definitely need to find an elite defender who can limit Chu Han a little on the defensive end!"
In the eyes of these fans.
No matter where James goes, Chu Han is the biggest obstacle on his way to winning the championship.
After experiencing such a series of confrontations.
James must be very clear that he needs a player by his side who can share the pressure of defending Chu Han.
In the summer NBA, it is not only worth looking forward to where James will go, but also what kind of lineup he will form.
There are also some fans who are beginning to look forward to the final battle in the finals.
"I am very much looking forward to the confrontation between Chu Han and Kevin Durant in the Finals. This is an MVP-level collision!"
Some fans are looking forward to the Thunder and Knicks meeting in the finals.
KD and Chu Han represent the strongest offensive firepower this season.
The two of them started scoring mode on the finals stage, and the scene was absolutely exciting!
"The San Antonio Spurs are definitely going to be another team that goes to the Finals."
"The finals between the New York Knicks and the Spurs will be the ultimate collision of the most extreme individual heroism and the most extreme team!"
Obviously the Spurs are the team leading by a big score now.
More fans still prefer that the Spurs will eliminate their opponents, advance to the finals, and face the Knicks.
By then.
The Spurs, the team with the deepest understanding of team basketball this season, will face off against the Knicks, the team with the strongest personal heroism this season!
Superheroes VS Ultimate Team.
This level of excitement may be no less than that of Chu Han vs. Dewey!
not to mention.
The Spurs do represent the highest level in the Western Conference this season.
The two highest-level teams in the East and West will definitely stage a Mars-Earth-level drama in the finals!
"."Now, we have to start discussing the finals matchup. "
At the T and NT symposium in the evening, the theme of the symposium was also related to the potential matchup in the finals.
Kenny Smith stated directly:
"I want to see the Knicks and Thunder in the finals, and I'm really looking forward to Chu Han and Kevin competing in the finals.
First place vs second place in the MVP list.
Season first in scoring vs. second.
How beautiful is this riding horse?
"Wake up, Kenny, Oklahoma's team can't even advance to the Finals."
Charles Barkley directly poured cold water on him: "Unsurprisingly, the only one who will meet the Knicks in the finals is the San Antonio Spurs.
"To be honest, I really want to see what kind of results Chu Han can give when facing a team-first team like the Spurs."
"After all, Chu Han has never played against the Spurs during the regular season this season!"
Just like Buckley said.
One of the most outrageous coincidences of the season is this:
Chu Han has not played against the Spurs all season!
In the first meeting of the season between the two sides, Chu Han was suspended from the Madison Garden Martial Arts Club and could not play.
In the second meeting of the season between the two sides, Mike Woodson directly rested Chu Han. After all, the team's record was no longer pursued, and Chu Han could rest assuredly.
The Eastern and Western teams meet twice this season.
As a result, Chu Han was not there both times.
This makes people even more excited to see what kind of performance Chu Han will be able to perform when he meets the Spurs for the first time in his career in the finals.
"I'm even more looking forward to the clash between the Knicks and the Spurs, because the tactical matchup between these two teams will be very interesting."
Reggie Miller is at a higher level:
"The Oklahoma City Thunder's tactics are too monotonous, they just keep asking Kevin or Russell to play in isolation.
"But the Knicks are different from the Spurs. They are very tactically versatile."
"Coach Mike Woodson may not be a top coach, but his coaching philosophy is bold enough."
"Not to mention Greg, I'm looking forward to what kind of tactical arrangements he will make against Chu Han.
From a tactical perspective, Thunder/Thunder is really boring.
The Spurs and Knicks, in addition to the player duel, the battle of wits and courage between the coaching staff (the money owner is good) is also a highlight!
With the broadcast of this evening symposium on T, NT.
On the Internet, more fans are beginning to tend to see the finals match between the Spurs and the Knicks.
It seems to be to fulfill the fans' expectations.
May 28th, US time.
United States, Oklahoma.
Thunder/Thing home court.
G6 of the Western Conference Finals begins!
The Spurs, who held match point, gave their opponents no chance to drag the series into a tiebreaker.
Eliminate your opponents through overtime and successfully advance to the finals!
only...
In this game, the Spurs didn't give them a chance at all.
It's just that Lei/Ting failed to grasp it!
Throughout the game, Kevin Durant was still the most trustworthy and absolute core of the Thunder.
The Reaper played 52 minutes, made 12 of 25 shots, scored 31 points and 14 rebounds.
Durant has given it his all.
Ran goose.
Russell Westbrook, the enigmatic, becomes a mole today.
Westbrook played 44 minutes and made 8 of 23 shots, including only 1 of 6 three-pointers.
Although Westbrook relied on attacking the inside to cause damage, Westbrook got a lot of free throws.
But under this, he still had 7 missed classes in the game!
Even more deadly is:
In the crucial overtime.
Westbrook directly scored 1-for-7.
After the whole game.
Kevin Durant was very generous and hugged the entire Spurs team.
Especially when hugging Tim Duncan, the two whispered a few words to each other.
Looking at Duncan's smiling face after he finished speaking, he seemed to be saying to Durant:
Du Zi, the water in the finals is too deep, you can't control it.
Let uncle come!
It's different from Duncan's smile.
Durant's face was filled with bitterness.
Has he lost confidence in his second brother David Westbrook?
Has he lost faith in Oklahoma?
Will he leave Goose City this summer?
Only until this summer will these questions be finally answered.
So far.
The Eastern and Western playoffs are all over.
The final matchup will be the New York Knicks VS San Antonio Spurs.
No. 1 in the East vs. No. 1 in the West!
(There was a bug in the book review section today, and many comments disappeared. I really did not delete them, so I would like to explain!!).
