Center first

Chapter 307
It took the Miami Heat five games to reach the second round, but it was flanked by a Cleveland Cavaliers that had reached the second round earlier than it did. When Wade once again became the opponent of LeBron James, all Newspapers and magazines have already targeted these two people in advance. After all, such a swingman duel is the main theme of this league now.

However, the local newspapers in Cleveland only regard Miami as a stumbling block for them to continue to advance to the finals. Their eyes have already set their sights on the west. In their view, only the guy who leads the Zijin dynasty can be worthy of it Come to a peak matchup with the little emperor, the danger these guys in Miami can bring to the Cavaliers is really limited now.

Even these guys are still talking about their own predictions there, their little emperor will use the fastest speed to solve the opponent, just like the Pistons who were just slaughtered by them 4:0, these former Eastern champions are now in In the eyes of the reporters here, it was just a foil before the emperor ascended the throne.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who are in good shape, will not bow to any opponents, including the seemingly powerful Lakers. You must know that the current number one in the league is the Cavaliers, not the Lakers. Although that is just the ranking of the regular season, but They already possessed the momentum of ignoring all opponents.

As for the Miami Heat's victory over the Eagles, in the eyes of Cavaliers supporters, it is only because the Eagles are too weak. Don't forget, you Miami people only finished the game in five games, and we Cleveland But we swept the championships of the previous years with a [-]-[-]. According to our opponents, we are more than one grade better than you.

Facing the contempt of the opponent, the Miami Heat did not express any dissatisfaction. They were happy to see their opponents underestimating them infinitely. The bad taste of this group of guys is to overthrow their opponents when others look down on them. The ground, and then step on it with the feet wearing spiked shoes, oh, not stepping, stomping, or jumping hard on the opponent's body a few times?
Spoelstra is about to think of a way to make the other party continue to despise him so much, come on baby, hurry up and despise me, don't treat us as an opponent, you can belittle us as much as you want, Then when it's time for the competition, I will directly kick your ass with my feet, kicking you directly into the sea to wake up.

However, when Lin Yi and Wade saw Spoelstra's face, they couldn't continue to use words to describe themselves as a shameless head coach, except that they could shed a drop of sweat on their heads and expressed speechlessness. Now, when this guy said to the TV screen, come and despise me, it sounded like he was whispering to the little chimpanzee-like emperor on TV, come on, come and despise me !sweat.

However, the local media in Miami are not as generous as the team. They have sent a challenge message to their counterparts in Cleveland, and it is very obvious in their newspaper pages that Lin Yi ended the quick loan arena. The game was infinitely magnified, and their title was also very dazzling, "End again, the emperor's dream is broken", such a title made Lin Yi a little helpless.

"Uh... Do you really want to be so confrontational?" Lin Yi pointed to the headlines in the newspaper and said to Wade a little speechlessly. Lin Yi really didn't like the life surrounded by those media with microphones every day, but who Let him be in the limelight in the previous game too much. If you don't interview him, who will you interview?It's just that he will refuse all the topics that ask him to predict the game. What's the point of predicting?It would be better if you come to the scene and see for yourself.

Anyway, Lin Yi doesn't care who his opponent is, what about the little emperor, it's not that he hasn't fought before, he still remembers the way that chimpanzee-like guy once roared in the American Airlines arena, this guy took advantage of his injury This Qiu Linyi can still remember those acts of beating, smashing and looting here, he must use the same method to fight back at the opponent's home court.

"Then what are you going to do? Let those guys shut their mouths? Don't forget, these guys eat this bowl of rice. If you want them to shut up, what else can they do? Let them quarrel, anyway The game is up to us to play, so what are we afraid of?" Wade is used to this kind of war of words, and he saw more than this when he played against the Mavericks in the Finals.

"War of words is one of the characteristics of the playoffs. Look, this is only the second round. It will become more lively as it goes on. They will definitely bring out all the grievances between the two teams, regardless of whether it is hundreds of years All previous grievances will be infinitely magnified here, even the news that your ancestor stole an egg from the other ancestor hundreds of years ago will be elevated to the level of hatred."

"Anyway, these guys are relying on these things to sell money. Let them make trouble. It's not like we stand on the TV station and point our noses at each other. More reports like this are also a kind of fun for us. You I don’t know, old Horry and the others care most about these things every day, and it’s quite enjoyable to watch those reporters scolding each other.” Lin Yi looked at Wade, who was grinning big, and he Really nothing more to say.

Wade is already familiar with these tricks of the media people to death, he doesn't care what these guys will say now, he just wants to rest quietly for a few days, and then improve his competitive state to the best. His old opponent is still waiting for him in the playoffs, and he doesn't want that guy who has been suppressing him to continue enjoying such a comfortable life.

Between Miami and Cleveland, there is only one team that can move on. He, Wade, will never give up this opportunity. He will defend his own honor and let everyone remember that he is the 03 class The most successful striker, not the little emperor held in the hands of thousands of people, he wants everyone to know that The Flash is the best person.

Of course, he cannot do without the help of this big guy beside him. Only when this little guy continues to perform strongly will he have a chance to win the highest honor. He can feel that the guy next to him also has the same strength as him. Lin Yi is no longer the only person who spends time in the basketball gym every day, Wade and Lin Yi are the last to leave here most of the time.

This kind of running-in also makes the inspiration between them more and more. When these two guys are conducting offensive and defensive training, it is definitely a nightmare moment for Haslem and Chalmers. Almost without using any language to communicate, a look between them is enough to make the other party understand. This silent tacit understanding makes Spoelstra very satisfied.

Not only during training, these two guys like to hang out together, even after training, Wade and Lin Yi often sit in the head coach's office and work hard facing the TV screen. After the season, he seldom does anything, but now he has regained his interest, and he often exchanges with Lin Yi how they feel about the game.

Maybe the head coaches of those teams with the ability to win the championship are envious of these two guys under Spoelstra, because this is not only how strong the talents are between the two people, but also whether the temper between them is It's not easy to meet a tacit combination, but fortunately Miami has such a pair now, and the harmony between them makes people jealous.

"Oh, this title is very good. It seems that after you arrive at the Quicken Loans Arena, you will definitely be greeted with a lot more boos than me, haha, but the angle of this picture is really good, I like it very much now It’s cool to see you shooting people flying.” Wade grinned at the picture in the newspaper.

Anyway, in private, Wade never looked like a person who was six or seven years older than Lin Yi. This guy more often used the unique black humor to make Lin Yi change lively, but Wade was very tragic. What happened to him was that Lin Yi could always choke him out of breath with one or two sentences, just like when he used various languages ​​to stimulate his opponent on the field.

Lin Yi looked at the moment when he slapped James and forced a layup on the newspaper, and he was a little speechless. He knew what Wade was laughing at, because this guy himself would not be treated like this, so he would laugh so wretchedly. However, from time to time, Lin Yi would use his own methods to attack the head of the Miami Heat.

"When the world championships are held, the one who was photographed flying may be you. Oh, by the way, I will definitely let the reporters put the picture in such a large size and publish it in our country's newspapers. There must be many People see your heroic appearance." Lin turned around and walked out of the locker room as soon as he left a sentence, leaving only Wade sitting there with his mouth wide open and unable to speak.

"Damn it! I strongly demand to quit the national team! Lin Yi, you bastard, I won't pass the ball to you in the next game! I'll torture you! Threat me!" Wade yelled out nervously in the locker room This made the staff who passed by here puzzled, and no one knew what Wade was going crazy about.

Miami ended their own game early, which won them enough rest time, and it also gave Spoelstra and his assistant time to study the tape of Cleveland's recent games. Free time to find out the opponent's flaws. The first two games were played in Cleveland. If they want to pass their opponents and enter the Eastern Conference finals, it is best to win a game at the opponent's home court.

However, it is not that simple to win a victory in the Quicken Loans Arena. There are only two teams that can take the victory from there this season. One is Peter Pan Kobe leading the Lakers, but it’s okay, The other team is the Miami Heat that ended the opponent's record of winning at home. When seeing this result, Spoelstra can still think of Lin Yi's wonderful performance in that game.

However, Spoelstra seems to have completely miscalculated the situation in the East. He originally expected that the Miami Heat would have two to three days of adjustment time, and then they would immediately fly to Cleveland to prepare for the first game of the second round. , but the battle situation in the lower half of the east has pushed this time back by at least two or three days, because someone capsized again in the gutter.

127:128, the Celtics were once again overthrown by the young Bulls in the away game. Looking at this score, even those who have not seen the game process may think that there is definitely another match between the two teams. There was more than one overtime. The two teams only played six games in total, but they had to go through overtime in four games. This may not have been thought of by anyone.

What's more, in these four overtime games, the Celtics, who have always been known for their rich experience, lost three games in a row. This may be even more unexpected, especially in the sixth game. Toughness is even more frightening. If someone said that the Bulls might be able to make the defending champion lose the possibility of promotion, not many people would disagree with such a view.

Because their performance is enough to win everyone's respect, even the diehard fans in Boston have to applaud this group of young Bulls, because in addition to being fierce, these guys also have superhuman toughness. Being able to defeat such a powerful opponent in overtime, the Bulls, like the revived Heat, have already performed dazzling enough, but the fans in Chicago are not satisfied. They hope to see these guys continue to perform like this until they really to regain that O'Brien Cup.

Derrick Rose, who has been regarded by Chicagoans as Jordan's successor, has sounded the crisis bell for the Celtics. Now no one can limit the breakthrough attack of the 08 No. Some people are already saying that this year's playoffs are the moment for the rise of the 08 class, and the performance of Lin Yi and Derek Rose is the best comment.

Now there may not be many people who will continue to advocate that the Celtics are replicating last year's road to the championship. Now many people are wondering whether the defending champion can still cross the threshold of the first round of the playoffs. Great The big three in China can't concentrate all their energy in every game like last year. This is the biggest crisis for the Celtics.

Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen, the explosive points of these three people cannot be concentrated together. The three games they won also depended on their individual performance to determine the outcome. Outbursts can't control the rhythm of the game. Apart from the wolf king, they can't find a second reliable fulcrum for their inside line.

Even in this game, Ray Allen has been fighting his opponent for 59 minutes like his old life, and he scored 51 points with his powerful shooting skills, but this will not save the Celtics from losing. , Garnett's continued downturn and Pierce's intermittent disappearance have caused the Celtics to lose the control they should have had.

Maybe Pierce and Garnett's six fouls at the last moment were an excuse for them to lose the game, but anyone can see that this year's Celtics are not as sharp as last year's Hulk. I don't know how far this group of defending champions can go. Maybe now even the most loyal fans in Boston are beginning to doubt whether this team can continue its glory this year.

However, the weak performance of the Celtics allowed another team to see an opportunity. In the subsequent game, the Orlando Magic locked in the 114ers at home with a score of 89:76. The third semifinal ticket in the East, without Howard, the monster at the basket, the Magic relied on the strong performance of Turkoglu and Lewis to defeat their opponents.

The stability of the overall strength gives the Magic the ability to go to the Eastern Conference finals, or even the finals. Even if the Celtics can end the Bulls in the next home game, they have to consider whether they are Can really take advantage of Orlando, don't forget, this team also has a dominant big man inside.

Whether the sluggish wolf king can use his body to withstand the invasion of Warcraft, no one is sure, at least the current Celtics are not optimistic, maybe they need to look at the glorious history on their honor book to motivate themselves Otherwise, the defending champion is likely to stage a tragedy, at least the Bulls don't have any fear of them now.

If the Celtics are eliminated, that is the scene Spoelstra would like to see the most. This team, which is currently in a slump, may be the most dangerous of the three teams that are the most threatening to the Heat. That one, their experience in the finals and playoffs is what the other three teams lack most. They will not have the slightest sense of unfamiliarity with such a battlefield. The threat will be the most deadly, so if the Bulls can really eliminate them now, it will be the most perfect ending.

Moreover, the Celtics' inside line may be the team that puts the most pressure on Lin Yi. After all, compared to the slow-moving Big Z and Howard, the last thing Lin Yi wants to touch is Wolf King Garnett. The battle between the two made him fight very hard. If possible, he might be more willing to touch that strong monster.

But that's something to think about in the future. If they want to enter the Eastern Conference finals, the first threshold they have to cross is Cleveland. Lin Yi and Wade have already started the final sprint for the meeting in a few days. Take the first step in the opponent's home court and show the sharpest blade to harvest the little emperor's desire for victory.

But before this duel begins, Wade and Lin Yi still have to enjoy a so-called coronation ceremony. When the first round of the playoffs is drawing to a close, all the selection activities for this season have also come to an end. , although it has not been announced to the public immediately, the gossip from inside has filled the sports pages of many newspapers.

On the issue of the ownership of the regular season MVP between Kobe and the little emperor, there is finally a conclusion. Last year's MVP winner failed to continue his way to defend the title. LeBron has basically locked the highest personal honor in this regular season. , but the leader of the Lakers, who has already won this award, doesn't seem to mind the result. All his thoughts are now aimed at the trophy in the playoffs.

However, the local newspapers in Cleveland made a big report on this undisclosed news. They want to use this honor to stimulate their next opponent, MVP, King of the World. Maybe this honor will give the little emperor's quarter Adding more glory to the playoffs would allow him to start exuding a much-desired sparkle before taking the throne.

"Is this kind of publicity interesting? MVP is not a gold medal for avoiding death." Lin Yi looked at the report on TV and turned to Wade and said.

"They think this will scare us, but these guys seem to have forgotten something. I have won the finals MVP. Can this scene scare me?" Wade pouted It doesn't matter, but he will not be polite to the MVP in the game.

"Don't talk about Chen Zhima and rotten millet. They can only remember your misery last season. However, I don't mind going to the opponent's home court to destroy such a coronation ceremony. It seems very interesting to do so. "The smile on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth is sometimes not only gentle, many times Wade can see that there is a bit of evil in it.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Riley asked me to tell you, the best rookie of the year must be yours, there is no suspense, don't look at that guy Derek playing crazy these days, but combined one Congratulations, kid, this is your first honor in the regular season.” Wade patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, he thought this reward was very important for Lin Yi To put it lightly, the Miami Heat changed because of this guy, and he clearly deserves more credit.

"I don't feel much. If you can't win that guy, even if you give me the MVP, I feel that it is a very boring award. In the next game, we must let that guy know that this league is not only He is alone, and I really enjoy being a challenger." Lin Yi pointed to the little emperor and Wade that appeared on the TV screen.

"I don't have any problem. That guy's butt is big enough. Let's kick it one by one. If he suffers a loss in his home court, I will be more psychologically balanced." Wade pointed at Lin Yi When Ya smiled, that cold white tooth seemed ready to tear off a piece of flesh from his opponent, but Lin Yi also used the same kind of smile to look forward to the start of the next match with this guy.

The best rookie challenged the new MVP, what a matchup, I am afraid that some people can't wait to see this kind of game now, how much storm it can cause for the league, let us wait and see, at least the fans in Miami believe that they The team will never let them down, because these guys never know what it means to be afraid.

Overturning the throne is still regarded as a stepping stone, and only when the game starts can one know that a wonderful duel is about to be staged. . . .

Countdown. . .start. . .

(Uh, when I saw the sports news today, I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was not short-sighted, 0:3 Fulham, uh...Manchester United, you...this...too 2...)
