Center first

Chapter 362
The finals, this may be the craziest day in every NBA season. They can rely on this final day to attract the attention of tens of millions of people every year. If the NBA is a money-absorbing machine, then the total The finale must have been the moment this machine hit maximum power, and the classic fights it has created are as memorable as the economy it can deliver.

Every year, David Stein will rely on this final peak duel to complete his domination of the basketball world. Although this year's playoffs did not stage the 23VS24 swingman duel he planned, but now it seems that the effect is also Not bad, at least his current desk is full of broadcast applications from country Z, which is almost another peak after YAO landed in the NBA.

That Miami big man is likely to become another flash point after YAO, he is just a first-year rookie, he is not yet a superstar, but the energy contained in this little guy is the same as his performance on the field, deep Unpredictable, even David Stein can't estimate what kind of achievements this little guy will achieve in the future, maybe this kid will attract more attention from others than YAO.

After all, in the basketball world, grades determine everything. No matter how famous Yao is, he only broke into the second round for the first time after playing in the regular season for several years. But that kid from Miami caught everyone's attention. To his existence, whether it is an old fritters or a rookie who entered the NBA at the same time as him.

In the first year of entering the NBA, he was able to directly enter the finals, and he was regarded as one of the absolute core of the team, and on his way to the promotion, he defeated the Little Emperor and Warcraft consecutively. Such achievements may be for a rookie It is already brilliant enough, but that kid seems not satisfied with everything that has happened now. He has already stepped into the finals, and he will definitely not stop his footsteps.

"The most disparate finals matchup? A group of ignorant guys, how crazy are those lunatics in Miami, haven't you seen it? This will definitely not be a one-sided finals, and there is another game. Their main force The players will come back and God knows if these guys will do miracles again."

David Stein was typing on the stack of documents on the desktop while making his own predictions for the finals that would start in a few days. He knew that the guys on the Miami Heat had never been the kind of people who could easily bow their heads. Guys, even if the opponent can win the game, they will pay a heavy price.

It's a good idea for the strongest swingman to face the most popular rookie king. Maybe people who are tired of the stereotyped finals atmosphere will enjoy a different feeling this year. Now the entire NBA knows that, As long as there is a Miami Heat game, there is never a dull moment.

If the original Kings team had the most gorgeous offensive mode, then today's Miami Heat team has the most desperate attacking posture. They never care who their opponent is. From the moment the game starts, I have already made up my mind to smash anyone, those crazy people, maybe they will really bring people a different finals.

"I hope that the performance of those guys can make our ratings another miracle. It seems that these guys are used to the word miracle. Alas, an old lunatic leads a group of little lunatics. This is definitely a team that will surprise anyone A team that can feel headaches." Although David Stein covered his head with his hands, he could still tell from the wrinkles at the corners of this guy's eyes that this guy was snickering there.

A big guy from Asia, maybe David Stein is no longer thinking about who will win the finals, his smile contains his greed for that huge market, maybe that big guy from Miami It is a perfect opportunity for him to open up the Asian territory, little guy, let me see what kind of changes you will bring to this alliance.

When the basketball sections of all the TV stations have already started to warm up for the finals, it is relatively calm but the two teams are preparing for the final battle. They even canceled the daily media meeting. Everyone knows this final round What does the game represent? Even veterans like Pat Riley and Jackson dare not neglect in the slightest. They must make all preparations to deal with the upcoming finals.

On June 2009.6.5th, Pat Riley posted a piece of paper on the wall of the training hall. It said [-]. Everyone knew what kind of day it was, a beautiful weekend, and it was also a beautiful weekend for Miami. The day when the Heat are preparing to challenge the Lakers at the Staples Center, the finals will officially kick off at that moment.

"We still have three days to adjust our status. I know you are tired now, but the highest stage is waiting for us. Should we really be a foil like those boring newspapers say? Please Tell me with your voice, when facing such a powerful opponent, should we really bow our heads obediently and let others step on our heads, or let us look up to see the opponent take the championship in front of us trophy?"

Pat Riley's words are always so sharp, he understands what these guys are thinking now, a powerful opponent, an omnipotent super swingman, these are all in front of the Miami Heat However, Pat Riley never considered the strength of his opponent. He only wanted to hear whether his players had the courage to fight to the death.

He is a famous iron-blooded coach, and he has never had that kind of cowardly guy in his hands. What he wants is to let these guys roar out. How does the opponent's strength have anything to do with me?I play at my own pace, and it’s not about popularity. Besides, the Lakers have overturned. They lost to the Pistons when they were at their strongest, and this season, the Heat lost Wade. You beat your opponent, why can't you do it again?Who can guarantee that the Heat will not win?

"We have killed the most popular little emperor, and we have also broken the dream of the Magic. Now we may be the most relaxed finals participants in history. As for the result? We seem to have never been favored. Now Same, but we always like to surprise people, and this time is no exception."

Lin Yi answered Pat Riley's question while wiping his sweat with a towel, while the other guys roared angrily and kept waving their fists. These guys don't care about themselves now. Who is the opponent, as if they want to run to the court to beat up those Lakers players, this is a team composed of a group of veterans and rookies, they are not afraid of anything.

"OK, boys, I hope that when you get to the Staples Center, you can also maintain this mentality. We can afford to lose in such a matchup, but the opponent cannot afford to lose. This is our psychology. Advantage, I hope that the current newspapers are full of reports about the Lakers. The more they do, the more pressure they will have, and the safer we will be. So, we don’t have to fear anything now, don’t we? Lakers? A Very good opponents, they deserve to fight us."

Pat Riley's sly smile on the corner of his mouth is so helpless, he always despises those opponents habitually, even if the current situation of the Miami Heat is like this, he doesn't care, it is a kind of The habit of looking down on others and ignoring opponents psychologically may be a way for this magician to remove the pressure for these players.

But when he sat back in his own office after finishing a day's training, he would frown. Spoelstra, who followed him recently, of course knew what this Qiansheng coach was worrying about. It is indeed too difficult for the Miami people to kill the Lakers with the current staffing.

"Boss, there is one more game, and your pressure will return to my shoulders now." Spoelstra can only use this way to joke with his boss, there is still one more game, the Philippines His suspension period is coming, but for the first game on June 6th, Pat Riley has to figure out a way. This stubborn old man will never give up easily.

"Now I really think you shouldn't just throw a tactical board. Anyway, it's a ten-game penalty. You might as well just throw a stool. But I'm free in one game, and I'll let you, a kid, experience it for yourself. Let’s see how torturous the finals are.” Pat Riley’s frowning brows can be relaxed at this time, but he knows very well that Spoelstra alone wants to win against the wise Zen master ,too difficult.

"Our opponent is not a guy like Van Gundy who is easy to deal with. The guy with the white beard and white hair has been fighting with me in this league for decades. From the player to the coach, we have never really conquered. I have passed the opponent, so I don't want to lose face in this kind of arena, and I will not choose to give up the game, at least I will cause some trouble for that guy." Pat Riley pointed to the head portrait of Jackson in the newspaper and said, That was his old opponent, but this time they met, it seemed that he himself was the disadvantaged party.

When the reporters were warming up for the finals, in addition to comparing the absolute cores of the two teams, they also gossip about the qualifications and past honors of the head coaches. Not to mention that these two equally wise guys are the same kind of people. They both had extremely gorgeous coaching careers. Regardless of whether Pat Riley has withdrawn from the ranks of first-line coaches now, this guy is temporarily coaching In the past few games, people have been able to recall how old and cunning this guy is. Look at Van Gundy's depressed expression after losing the game, it can already explain everything.

And Phil Jackson, who just won George Karl, has written his own legend in this league with three consecutive championships. If he can win this championship again, he will already surpass the "Red" Cardinal "Auerbach's great existence, perhaps no one in the coaching world can surpass him.

Pat Riley may not have as many championship rings as Phil Jackson, but four championship rings and a "SHOW TIME" era are enough for him to support his appearance, not to mention that this guy is the second most winning game in NBA history Don't forget that he has been elected NBA Coach of the Year three times, and is the only head coach in NBA history who has won this honor in three different teams.

Honor is just a way of comparison between these giants. The media is just showing these things, lest the young people forget the history created by these old guys, but the role these things can play now, more It is exaggeration, used to heighten the atmosphere of the confrontation between the two people, their biggest selling point is the grievances that have appeared between the two people.

The newspapers have already dug up the feud between Pat Riley and Zen Master. These two old enemies who have been fighting from the player era to the coaching bench have once again stood at both ends of the field. The relationship between them The war of words may once again become one of the focuses of the media, and the grievances that have continued from the Knicks and Bulls era may continue to escalate in this finals.

But an old fritter like Pat Riley will definitely be very careful in every word he says when facing reporters, "He has long passed the age of worrying about these problems, and I have long passed the age of worrying about these problems Age, our age and our minds are not what we used to be, and the squabbles at that time were just stupid mistakes we made when we were young. I didn’t think about those squabbles after that.” Regarding the original dispute, Pat Riley This way to resolve it.

"Actually, Phil and I never had any grudges. It's just that you guys insisted on writing it as a grudge between us. I never, I emphasize, never intended to teach anyone. Maybe I will because Losing games and getting out of control, occasionally swearing. But all I do is prepare my team. You reporters can write what you like."
"I respect Phil very much, because he has nine rings on his hand, he is the best of the best in the coaching pile. I will not try my best to teach better than him, the past It was a battle between the Bulls and the Knicks, not me and him, and we beat them one year just because Jordan retired. Nothing personal other than that."

Although Pat Riley tried his best to avoid the grievances between him and Phil Jackson, everyone could hear the implication from his words, "We beat them in a certain year only because Jordan retired. "This cunning old guy is indirectly satirizing Phil Jackson, a guy who often holds the thighs of superstars. He can get so many victories and championship rings only because he knows how to choose teams. Or he will choose which thigh to hug.

"Boss, you scold people so artistically..." Spoelstra really admires Pat Riley, an old world like Pat Riley, especially when it comes to dealing with reporters. There are really too many things to learn. . .

"We are all civilized people. Pointing at someone's face and scolding them is very degrading." Pat Riley has long been accustomed to speaking in such a way of holding a gun and wearing a stick. As for the opponent's reaction, He won't take care of it, anyway, after he's done talking, it's fine if he's happy, and others have a dime relationship with me?

The war of words before the game always spread silently, but Zen Master's calmness and Pat Riley's cunning always prevented those reporters from finding a chance to provoke the war. These two old slickers knew clearly that now Their opponents are not the kind of guys who can easily tease each other with words. They want to find the opponent's flaws, and the best way is to find them on the field, not in the newspapers.

"Continue to use double centers? NO, I don't think this is a good idea." Pat Riley said to Spoelstra beside him while facing the Lakers game screen on the TV screen.

"Don't forget, how many big men over two meters are there on the Lakers? And don't forget who our backup force is. At least in the first game, we didn't have the capital to fight with our opponents. Damn, I'm really I really hate why Wade and Bell were punished for [-] games, damn Cleveland people, what a fucking delay, and now I have no one under my staff." Pat Riley has been in the past two days I don't know how many times I have scolded the Cavaliers.

"This old man still cares about winning the game, especially when facing his old enemy." Spoelstra can understand this from Pat Riley's performance. It seems that no matter how great the coach is , They always care about their own face.

"Return to the formation of a single center. Don't forget, our opponent has two big men inside. Even if Lin Yi and Magloire are on the field at the same time, they may not take any advantage. Therefore, the double center Give up the tactics for now, I don’t want to use my last bit of capital to fight the opponent, what I want is not a victory in a game, but the entire series.” When Pat Riley said this, he was very Seriously, he's not joking, he's been looking for a chance to win since he entered the finals.

Although it is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, Spoelstra is definitely not as crazy as Pat Riley to win the entire series. Maybe he is not confident enough, but that fortune teller But there is no doubt that there is such a possibility, and even this old guy never intends to give up the victory to his opponent.

If the Miami Heat are a crazy team, the people leading them are just as crazy. . .Win the Lakers?This old guy is definitely not just talking. . .

(Six points and eight assists...uh... how can I evaluate Xiaozi's performance? It can only be said that it is recovering, okay, not too bad, but the Knicks and the Nets lost again today , Are the surrounding areas of New York collectively cursed? Or are they too corrupt? This is indeed a BUG...)
