basketball never sleeps

Chapter 175 After all, not everyone is qualified to be my eldest son.

"The Pistons have done the best they can, but unfortunately, they met the more powerful Heat."

"Detroit is still one of the best defensive teams in the league. Their attitude and ability are still worthy of respect, but if they want to win the game, they need to do more, not just defend well."

"The Spurs used to be based on defense, but now they have also changed their rhythm and followed the pace of the times by playing fast breaks. Attack to win the audience and defense to win the championship will be a thing of the past."

On the second day of the game between the Heat and the Pistons, an ESPN expert commented with a very positive tone.

Is defense winning championships a thing of the past?

This is a setting that is difficult for all old-school coaches to accept.

But as far as the Eastern and Western Conference finals are concerned, this is the fact.

Don't look at the history of this year's finals between the Spurs and the Pistons, which resulted in the lowest points per game and lowest ratings in the finals in several years. You may think that this year's Spurs will only play solid and defensive games.

Not really.

In fact, before the Finals, the Spurs spent most of their time in the Western Conference adapting to the version and playing fast breaks.

Nash, who stepped on his old club and reached the Western Conference Finals, originally wanted to make fast break tactics bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

But as soon as they turned around, the Spurs defeated the Suns using the method the Suns are best at.

Western Conference Finals G1, Spurs 121:114 Suns.

There was no overtime, and the two teams played a wonderful battle in regular time.

Those who knew it was the Spurs, but those who didn't know it thought it was the Mavericks who had changed their skins and come back.

It's just that you may not be able to tell much in one game. In G2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs used another fast break to shoot down the sun.

Popovich, who claims to hate three-pointers the most, witnessed his team shoot 21 three-pointers.

To highlight one's mouth is to express one's integrity.

In these two games, Uncle Bao didn't even show up. He only focused on defending Marion and won easily.

Facts have proved that the Spurs have the ability to make the game exciting.

Of the four teams in the conference finals, three are all focused on offense. Doesn’t this explain the problem?

As for Ao Pang's arrogant speech about "starting with champagne", surprisingly he did not receive many questions.

American media reporters are much lazier than domestic reporters, but they will come to watch the game.

In the past two games, as long as the Heat's three giants are on the court together, the Heat will definitely take the initiative.

There are some things that cannot be reflected in the data, but cannot be ignored when watching football.

ESPN is still considering which team will win the championship, while TNT, which likes to be lively, has already begun discussing who will become the Finals MVP.

"Although I am a Sun star, to be honest, I am looking forward to what the Heat will look like after they win the championship, because only when the Heat win the championship can the FMVP selection mechanism truly come into play."

Since the Suns lost two home games, Barkley's expectations for the Suns have dropped again and again. The Suns' all-attack defenseless style is really not a match for the Spurs, who can be fast or slow.

I simply stopped pretending and let’s show off my cards. I am a ten-year-old Heat fan!

"If you want to say that...it's true."

Kenny Smith subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he spoke, he realized that there seemed to be nothing to refute.

"Judging from the current performance of the Heat's three stars, everyone indeed has a chance."

"Although Shaq has been in decline in the playoffs this year due to injuries, he is Shaq after all, so I still believe that he is the most favorable contender for FMVP."

"Wade, as the current core and arrow of the Heat, is responsible for most of the attacking and scoring tasks. In the last two games, he has even taken up some of the organizational tasks. I think he is not much worse than Kobe last year."

"Mo, I can't say that. On the surface, he is the core of the Heat's organization. Although Wade has been given a lot of ball-handling tasks in these two games, he is still the Heat's important support and scoring point. And

His health is also the best. But compared to the tough play of Wade and Shaq, his style of play is always a little less passionate."

"If he can show off his previous 50+ triple-double momentum in every game, or get a 40+ game in the finals, then I think he should have a good chance."

···

On the flight to Detroit, after more than half an hour of discussing the wonderful life of winning a championship in the future, the cabin carrying the Heat players fell silent again.

Wade stared blankly at the three snacks of different shapes placed in front of him, somewhat lost in thought.

"If you have the chance, I suggest you think more about yourself, Dwyane."

"That guy is old. I don't mean to ruin your relationship, but you have to know that he is old. You are the most important person for the Heat. If you don't want to be under him for so many years like me, you

We need data and honors to prove ourselves.”

He thought of the phone call from Los Angeles last night, which was a bit confusing, but the agent who was next to him at the time and Ajan who lived in his home said that the person was right.

It's not hard to guess what purpose that person had.

In the media's pursuit and boasting, this year's championship seems to have become the Heat's bag.

He also watched the TNT program. Who is the FMVP given to?

This is indeed a question worth pondering.

The honor is right in front of you, and no one can remain indifferent.

Others don’t know what’s going on in the Heat, so doesn’t he know?

Theoretically, O'Pang can only play for 20 minutes in each game. Like the last game, it's okay to have an occasional outburst. Let him stand up every game. It's not good for O'Pang's troubled body.

Said, the risk is very high.

Moreover, O'Pang is still negotiating with the team about renewing his big contract. In order to avoid injuries that will affect subsequent contract renewals, he is destined not to work as hard as Ben.

So his only competitor was Mo Wen next to him.

But is Mo Wen really a competitor?

He looked at Mo Wen, who was lazing around and sleeping peacefully.

Wade bit his lip and looked up at the ceiling with some struggle.

Mo Wen is not a selfish person. Apart from getting two assists, he rarely pursues scoring. He usually plays in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable.

The old players on the team all said that Mo Wen was a perfect teammate.

Entering the playoffs, Mo Wen's statistics increased a lot, but that was also because of injuries to him and O'Pang.

Wade feels that he is not a selfish person, but he is FMVP!

Although, the value of FMVP has been reduced by a small amount by Billups.

But, being the second-year FMVP is also a supreme honor.

In history, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the No. 21 pick in the Western Conference have achieved this achievement.

As a young man who likes to be in the limelight, no one can resist this temptation.

When he landed at the hotel for lunch, Wade, who was overwhelmed by internal friction, pretended to be nonchalant and sat next to Mo Wen.

Seeing that Ao Pang didn't come, he breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting.

"I received a phone call two days ago. Who do you think it was?"

"Bryant?" Mo Wen, waving a knife and fork, paused and gave the answer without looking up.

"Hmm! How did you know?"

"Because I received it too."

"What, he hit you too? What did you say?" Wade's breathing paused. He seemed to have vaguely thought of something, but it was not quite clear.

"He said, let me shoot as many shots as possible and become an FMVP, so that he can help me get a big contract from Dr. Bass later."

Wade: "???"

"He...he...he told you that?"

Seeing Wade's frightened look, Mo Wen patted his head comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I just thought he was joking. After all, not everyone is qualified to be my eldest son."

"Besides, I can't handle the girls in Miami. Los Angeles is not suitable for me."

···

Mo Wen thought that his arrival had brought a lot of changes to the world, but he still overestimated his influence.

May 25, 2005, afternoon.

In the hotel in Detroit, Mo Wen, in front of the TV, witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes.

AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti fulfilled his harsh words before the game. Milan broke through Liverpool's steel defense within the first three minutes. To be more precise, it only took them 51 seconds to score.

Then, under the attack of a number of superstars, AC Milan scored 3:0 in the first half, a huge difference on a football field.

However--

With a 0:3 deficit, the classic old song - "You'll Never Walk Alone" echoed in Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium.

This is also one of the few positive images left in history by British fans or Liverpool fans.

And then——

6 Minutes of Darkness···

In the penalty kick, Shevchenko's right-footed shot into the middle was blocked by Dudek...

Mo Wen, who was watching football on the sofa, silently wrapped himself in a small blanket.

Look at the Italian beauties crying and crying, how cute they are... Oh no, how pitiful they are.

Don't know why.

He seemed to also see the disappointed and tearful look of the Miami beauty.

The legend of champagne being opened at halftime is naturally false.

Who is a serious sports person who would rest before winning?

McGrady: Don’t cue, it’s very annoying.

("If it was last year, I would already be thinking about my opponents in the next round" is false. Tmac's original words were "It feels so good to enter the second round!")

But the power of metaphysics cannot be ignored.

After all, time travel has happened, what else can't happen?

Damn it, Shaq, you know some jokes shouldn't be made casually?!

The sports world in North America is a relatively closed circle. After all, many Americans don't know that there are other countries in the world besides the United States. In contrast, external sports leagues are not the focus of their attention.

However, because this reversal was so amazing, even though football had no market in North America, it quickly became known and noticed.

The two teams that were defeated 2:0 were greatly inspired by this "miracle".

Pistons: Aren't we the ones who introduce Liverpool? A team of blue-collar workers, a rough and orderly defense. If they can do it, so can we, so it doesn't matter if we are lagging behind. I have the advantage this time.

Suns: Evened the score in 6 minutes. I understand, you have to keep accelerating. What a rush!

Almost coincidentally, both teams used Liverpool's example in their pre-match press conferences.

On May 27, G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals started at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At the Miami airport, a 2-meter-long ridge head was escorted out of the terminal by two bodyguards behind him.

"Hey, hello, is James here? It's me, Anthony. I'm here. Where are you guys?"

"Where am I? Let me take a look. Terminal P-11 is right at the entrance. Hurry up. If you are slower, I'm afraid I will be recognized."

"What, there is no Terminal P-11, it's impossible, with such big characters... Wait, let me ask someone... That's right, it's P-11."

"Detroit doesn't have a P-11...it can't be done."

"Hey, wait, where did you say? Detroit?"

This is not water, right? I’m afraid that everyone will get tired of watching the competition all the time...
