With the end of the NBA All-Star weekend, time soon entered March, and each team began to fight for the bayonet stage in order to enter the playoffs. This is especially cruel in the devil's schedule of the shrinking season.

Entering March, New York Knicks coach D'Antoni was fired. After Woodson took office, Jeremy Lin's performance began to cool down.

On March 3, Jeremy Lin suffered from pain in his left knee and entered a state of daily observation.

On April 4, the Knicks officially announced that Jeremy Lin tore his meniscus and was reimbursed for the season.

After the operation, Jeremy Lin has repeatedly stated that he hopes to return to the team as soon as possible and try his best to catch up with the playoffs.

The time came to late April, and the NBA regular season ended in a tense schedule. Under the leadership of Byron Scott, the Cavaliers maintained a stable performance, always occupying the first position in the Eastern Conference, and did not follow closely behind. The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat had the opportunity to overtake, and finally achieved a record of 4 wins and 57 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and the league.

Thanks to the team's No. 2011 performance in the league and Yuan Man's outstanding performance, Yuan Man strongly defeated Le Brown - James won the 12-[-] NBA regular season MVP!

An Asian player, a Chinese player, won the MVP of the NBA regular season. This is an achievement that is enough to be recorded in history, and the whole country is jubilant!

With the help of system props, Yuan Man averaged 32.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks per game this season. Title, for a while, Yuan Man received attention from all over the world. This achievement is even more talked about than the short period of Linsanity.

At the end of the 2012 season, Yuan Man's Cavaliers and Jeremy Lin's Knicks both made it to the playoffs.

The first round of the playoffs kicked off on April 4. There were no surprises in the Eastern Conference. Almost all the top-ranked teams with home court advantage passed the test. The Cavaliers defeated the 28ers 4-0 without giving the opponent Any chance, when Yuan Man was facing Iguodala, he scored 76 points, 35 points, 40 points, and 29 points in four games respectively. He completely beat Iguodala and proved that he won the scoring title this season It is well deserved.

In the game against the 76ers, people found that Yuan Man's fadeaway jumper and pull-up jumper have been practiced so well that they can almost be called Yuan Man's signature moves.

The second-ranked Heat easily defeated the Knicks 4-1. In the series, Jeremy Lin's changing injuries and comeback time made the fans a little disappointed. Lin's crazy aura began to fade and he was eliminated by the Knicks After the playoffs, some stores in New York began to sell Jeremy Lin's related products at a discount.

Faced with the situation of going home to fish, a reporter interviewed relevant staff of the Knicks and asked what Jeremy Lin would do when his contract expired.The Knicks officially expressed their desire to keep Jeremy Lin, but did not renew his contract in advance.

The issue of Jeremy Lin's eligibility for the Byrd clause has been pending, which also brought obstacles to Jeremy Lin's early contract renewal.

The third-ranked Bulls defeated the Magic 4-1. As the Magic were eliminated in the first round, everything seemed to be clear. "Warcraft" Howard should not continue to play for Orlando next season. Almost all Fans think so, including the general manager and head coach of the Magic.

Facing the impact of the Eagles, the old Celtics used their experience to keep the Eagles out of the second round, and entered the Eastern Conference semifinals 4-2 without any risk.

In the West, this time the Spurs won the first place in the West and did not become a tragic team again. They defeated the Jazz 4-0 cleanly in the first round. The entire series did not give the Jazz any chance.

Some reporters began to sympathize with the Houston Rockets, who are ninth in the Western Conference, claiming that if the Rockets can overwhelm the Jazz and rank eighth in the Western Conference, the series with the Spurs will be more exciting and better.

The upstart Thunder, ranked second in the Western Conference, met last year's enemy in the first round, also the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks played very disappointingly this season, only ranked seventh in the Western Conference. The fierce fighting in the Western Conference finals, I didn't expect that after only one year, they would meet in the first round of the playoffs, which is really embarrassing.

The entire Thunder team is waiting for this chance of revenge, and the momentum and vitality of this group of young people completely broke the Mavericks. 4-0, the Thunder reported that they were eliminated from the Western Conference Finals last season. Qiu also announced that the Dallas Mavericks had withdrawn from the championship competition.

Compared with the ease of the previous two teams, the Lakers' road to promotion is extremely thrilling. Facing the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers won very difficultly. With a 3-1 lead, they were dragged into the tiebreaker by the Nuggets , But fortunately, in the battle of Tianwangshan, the Spaniard Gasol broke out and scored 23 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, helping Kobe, who scored 17 points, beat the Nuggets and passed the risk 4-3.

The No.4 Grizzlies were not so lucky. After being dragged into the tie-break by the No.5 Clippers, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies 82-72 and staged the first round of the playoffs this season. The only game in the lower gram.

In the second round of the playoffs, the opponent of the Cavaliers in the semifinals is the old but experienced Celtics. The Cavaliers represent youth and vitality, while the Celtics represent experience and tenacity.

Surprisingly, however, the game turned out to be one-sided. Facing Yuan Man, who was unstoppable in scoring, Irving, who broke through sharply, and Cray, who shot from outside, the old three giants were obviously a beat slower. Lost half on the pitch.

Except for a small loss at home in Boston, the Cavaliers have achieved hearty victories in the other four games.

4-1, the Cavaliers broke into the Eastern Conference Finals. In this way, the Cavaliers not only completed the team owner Dan Gilbert’s task of reaching the second round, but also overfulfilled, so although they entered the Eastern Conference Finals that will be more brutal , but the pressure on Byron Scott's shoulders has eased a lot.

On the other side, the Heat defeated the Bulls 4-2. James once again used the victory to prove that last year's MVP should belong to him, and Rose's Bulls will never be able to step over the Heat.

However, Rose was injured in the first round of the playoffs and was unable to play in the entire second round of the series, so the Cavaliers' victory actually does not prove the gold content of what James said to the media after the game.

Anyway, if you win, you are right in everything you say.

In the West, facing Paul who was trying to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals, Duncan smiled. Before the first game, Duncan talked with Paul with a smile, and stroked Paul's head kindly and friendly.

Then, the Spurs kicked Paul and Griffin home 4-0.

Two consecutive rounds of 4-0 wins reflect the super strength of the Spurs this season.

Another semifinal game in the Western Conference produced surprising results.

The Lakers, with a luxurious division, lost 1-4 to the Thunder in the series.

The Thunder's victory in the playoffs completely announced to the world that another terrible team in the West was born.

A reporter compared the Thunder with the Cavaliers. They also started from a trough, and they also have many young and talented players.

The Thunder have Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and others, and the Cavaliers have Yuan Man, Irving, Klay, Whiteside and others.

The future is very likely to be dominated by these two teams.

The Eastern Conference semifinals were a fierce battle. In the first six games, both sides won 3 games, all of which were home wins. Therefore, the game entered the crucial and thrilling seventh game.

In this game, Yuan Man broke out completely. With the help of props, he entered a burning state and inspired two-fifths of the power of the "Emperor's Eye". Yuan Man scored 51 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 times. Stealing 4 blocked shots, led the team to a 130-95, 35-point victory over the Heat, which was evenly matched with him before, won the Eastern Conference Championship and entered the NBA Finals!
On the other side, the Spurs and Thunder, both of whom entered the Western Conference Finals in a very strong state, also launched a fierce contest. The result is still surprising. The Spurs, which most commentators are optimistic about, lost 2-4.

Charles Barkley believes that the reason why teams like the Spurs, Celtics, and Mavericks were eliminated by their opponents this season is mostly due to the problem of the schedule. The players of these teams are generally older, especially the Celtics. The Boston Celtics and Mavericks have hardly added any players this season, so when facing the young and energetic Cavaliers and Thunder, they are almost helpless. The Spurs have added a lot of talented players during the offseason. A strong player, the coach Popovich also pays great attention to the rotation to protect the player's body and state, but when facing the Thunder, the old legs still lost to the Thunder's youth storm in the 5th and 6th games .

In this way, the previous reporter's prediction was staged in advance. The Cavaliers in the East and the Thunder in the West will meet in the finals.

In the first two games, under the leadership of Yuan Man, the Cavaliers relied on the team's good chemistry to win the first two games 99-91 and 104-100 respectively, taking a 2-0 lead.

But then back to the Thunder's home court, the Thunderstorm broke out. 114-95, the Thunder defeated the Cavaliers by nearly 20 points, allowing the Cavaliers to achieve the biggest loss in the playoffs.

After the game, the team immediately held an emergency meeting to find out the problems that occurred in the game by reviewing the game video and group discussion. The whole team responded very positively and actively discussed at the meeting.

In the fourth game, the performance of the Cavaliers on the field showed a significant rebound. In addition to Yuan Man scoring 30 points and playing an exemplary role, Irving and Klay also played very well, but in this game, Whiteside performed the best. Excellent, scored 24 points and 20 rebounds, scored double 20, the Cavaliers used their lives, and won the key game 110-102 in the away game, thus leading the opponent with a big score of 3-1.

The fifth game was still at the Thunder's home court. Since they would lose the championship if they lost another game, the Thunder team also risked their lives to fight. Amidst the crazy cheers of the home fans, Durant scored 34 points. Brook scored a triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. The Thunder also defeated the Cavaliers 98-89 and chased the big score to 2-3.

In the sixth game, when the two sides were inseparable, a surprising figure appeared, that is, the tall guard Sean Levin, who was traded by the Cavaliers for Ramon Sessions in the middle of the season ston.

After Livingston came on the court, he frequently took advantage of his height to single-play Westbrook. Although he couldn't shoot three-pointers, coach Scott and assistant coach Drew specially formulated offensive tactics for Livingston's very accurate mid-range shots. .

After Yuan Man, Irving and other main players left the field, Livingston led the substitute lineup and played a 12-0 climax.

In this wave of offensive climax, Livingston made 5 of 5 shots and scored 10 points alone, almost opening the score gap between the two sides alone.

When the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Cavaliers had already achieved a 14-point lead, and the Thunder could only struggle to catch up.

However, in the fourth quarter, Yuan Man took over the game and made consecutive mid-range shots, which made it very difficult for the Thunder to chase points.

Finally, in the countdown of the home fans "5, 4, 3, 2, 1", the whole game ended, and countless colorful ribbons immediately floated down from the sky over the Quicken Loans Center, 103-92, the Cavaliers won the sixth Winning at home, thus defeating the Thunder with a total score of 4-2, and won the NBA championship in the 2011-12 season!
Yuan Man held up his right index finger, as if telling everyone that this was his first championship.

The reporters at the scene followed the winning Yuan Man one after another. After hugging the Thunder's Durant, Westbrook and others one by one, a hot beauty threw herself into Yuan Man's arms, without any scruples about the live broadcast. In the camera, Upton and Yuan Man fell into a deep kiss.

The surprise was not over yet. Just as the cameras were aimed at Upton and Yuan Man, the Cavaliers who had been scattered just now suddenly surrounded the two of them. cry.

Yuan Man did not know when he took out a diamond ring from behind, knelt down in front of Upton on one knee, and asked, "Will you marry me?"

Varejao excitedly sent a bouquet of roses in his arms to Yuan Man's hands, and Yuan Man presented the roses and diamond ring together with both hands.

Could there be a more romantic moment than this?
Upton shed tears excitedly, nodded frequently, and then, under the kind reminder of the reporter on the scene, replied loudly: "I am willing!"
