Chapter 226: The Arrival of the Finals

Good and not bad, bad spirit...

Pacers fans remember how the game started, but they can't remember how it ended.

The whole place was in agony.

No, this feeling of torment was brought home.

Lying in bed at night, still thinking about...

How can O'Neal Jr. play the ball in that position?

Reggie Miller is still old!

Tinsley, this stupid idiot, should go back to playing catch.

gtmd!

The most uncomfortable thing for Pacers fans is that this kind of torture is not just one, but there will be one next!

They can also expect the Pacers to win this game, but...

No matter how you look at it, there seems to be no chance...

They have given up hope long ago!

so……

When the Wizards won by 18 points at halftime, there were no expressions in the eyes of the Pacers fans.

Neither happy nor sad...

If you lose, you lose. What they are more curious about now is what the management's plan is after this season.

They thought it was time to push for reconstruction, but when they looked at Reggie Miller, who was panting with his hands on his hips at the end of the fourth quarter, they thought, should they give this team a chance?

Reggie Miller dedicated all his youth to this team...

No matter what, he should be allowed to win a championship before leaving this league.

If the Pacers rebuild, Reggie Miller will definitely not be able to continue playing.

Who knows when the rebuilding of the league's teams will be successful?

Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just talk about the Chicago Bulls next door. After Michael Jordan left, they have been rebuilding for a long time. There is no sign of revival. They can only drink beer and shout in the bar, "ton ton ton ton ton ton,"

At least we were the strongest in 1990!

Pacers fans don't want to be so stupid.

In the midst of the confusion, the game was over. The dazzling score also represented the Wizards' big lead, reaching 4-0!

The Pacers once again fell to the Wizards.

This is the third consecutive year that they have been defeated by the Wizards. In everyone's eyes, the Pacers should make some changes.

Kenny Smith said bluntly: "No matter what results this team has achieved in the regular season, what things they have done, but when they lose to another team for three consecutive years, such a team,

It is bound to enter the process of reconstruction. This is the same in any era!"

"Reggie Miller is a great player and a respectable opponent, but...his era with the Pacers should be over!"

Not only did he say this, but reporters from the Pacers team also took photos of Reggie Miller's sad end. He felt that this was very likely to be Reggie Miller's last season.

In his opinion, Reggie Miller is retiring, and if he were Reggie Miller, he would also choose to retire...

This question was also asked by the media after the game Reggie Miller.

His answer to this was: "Many things are done after consideration. I will not come back again. This is for sure. Therefore, before leaving, I need to think carefully. The current mood is not suitable for me to make a decision."

Absolute judgment.”

Facing the camera, Reggie Miller had no expression on his face. What he was thinking in his heart was what this guy said when he just faced Jiang Dalin.

"Man, I'm asking you sincerely, are you willing to come to the Wizards? I think it would be complete if at least one championship player retired. This is also where you have persisted for so many years!"

Jiang Dalin's temptation is indeed deep enough for Reggie Miller.

He has been defeated by this team for three consecutive years, so he knows how powerful Jiang Dalin and the Wizards are. If Reggie Miller is asked to choose a team with the highest hope of winning the championship in the league now, then he will not choose the Lakers, but the Lakers.

I would choose the Wizards.

He was a little excited.

But in the end he didn't agree immediately.

As he said to the media at this moment, all the decisions he makes now are based on emotions, so he should wait until his emotions stabilize.

It’s not that Jiang Dalin wants to come up with some kind of “Veteran Dream Realization Plan”. He doesn’t have that much time. Mainly, he thinks that if Hamilton can continue to learn from Reggie Miller, he might be able to have better running ability without the ball.

Get rid of the ability.

To be honest, Jiang Dalin felt like an old father, really worried about the Wizards.

Of course, this is also necessary in order to win the championship.

After defeating the Pacers, Jiang Dalin returned to Washington with the Wizards. As soon as he got off the plane and walked out of the airport passage, everyone on the Wizards team was frightened because there were huge crowds of people on both sides and it was so dark...

This is the Washington guy who came to pick me up.

The moment Jiang Dalin appeared in their sight, a huge shout rang out:

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

With the arrival of Jiang Dalin, the Wizards have reached the finals twice so far. After this time, it will be the third time in a row. If they can win the championship this time, the Wizards will become another "three-time champion" after the Bulls.

The team that won consecutive championships...

A city of mortals, comparable to gods!

What else is there to say, Jiang Dalin is the god of this city!

It is precisely because they know this that the Wizards fans came to pick them up in a tacit understanding. What they picked up was not the Wizards, at least not just the Wizards, but the hope of the city!

After all, we are Washington, Washington!

We have been ignored by the NBA for too long. It’s time for us to rise up.

Jiang Dalin looked at the enthusiastic fans and naturally knew what kind of path he was heading for. If he could win the championship, he would become the first player in the NBA to reach the finals as a core player and win two championship MVPs.

Players…

He also wants to make history!

There is no doubt about this.

Looking to the West, the Lakers and Timberwolves were almost at the same level. The Timberwolves defeated the Spurs, but they seemed powerless when facing the Lakers.

The feeling of the Lakers playing the Timberwolves is similar to playing the Mavericks.

There is almost no difference.

They immediately scored a big score of 3-1. As long as they win one more game, they can enter the finals.

It was also in this game that they could advance to the Finals if they won, and everyone in the Timberwolves also saw what a complete Lakers team would look like when it explodes.

That's called...horror.

After the game, the Timberwolves victim responded that he saw someone banging the ball on his head.

When they reacted, the murderer walked away with an extremely arrogant "overlord step".

That's called cruel and inhumane.

At the end of the game, the Lakers also won 115-85, a 30-point difference.

The Timberwolves management also wanted to say that if it didn't work this year, they would try again next year. But after watching the last game, they thought it wouldn't work next year either. This year was an unexpected bonus.

The Lakers' last game also made the Los Angeles media very happy. They were so happy that they posted articles continuously. All the Los Angeles media believed that the championship that was robbed by Jiang Dalin would definitely be taken back this time!

After all, Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal have been working together for 8 years. The two have won two consecutive championships together and entered the finals four times. This is now the fifth time.

According to the great conditions of a certain star, they only have three consecutive years of runner-up left, and can start their time as an "OK" group!

You know, entering the finals 8 times in a row is even more difficult than winning the championship!

And this is the West!

If this condition is met in the east, an era has begun. To accomplish such a thing in the west...

It’s a real hammer, the “OK” combination is as good as Jordan!

Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant also said one after another that what supported us to the final step was revenge against the Wizards. This is what everyone wants to accomplish!

Other media are also very optimistic about the Lakers.

The main reason is also very simple. It has been three years since the Wizards dealt with the Pacers, which didn't seem like a surprise to the audience.

On the other side, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves!

You must know that this Timberwolves is not simple, they defeated the Spurs with Tim Duncan...

But such a Timberwolves team actually allowed the Lakers to deal with it easily. This kind of contrast will really make them feel that this year's Lakers team is really too strong!

Just like the three young men from the Thunder later, the few times they reversed the Spurs were so fierce that all the media were saying that the Heat were in danger and that they would fall in the Finals again.

Then……

It was a miserable loss 1-4.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that this Lakers team was the Thunder team at that time. They had much more background than the “Three Thunder Young Masters”, but the main thing to say is...

It was the Lakers' strong sense of contrast that made the outside world think this was their year.

And, to be honest, the Lakers are indeed able to match the "right time, right place and right people" factors.

Needless to say, everyone is optimistic about them and thinks they will win. The location is perfect. The first game of the Finals will be played at the Lakers' home court. As for Renhe, that's not to mention.

The Lakers' desire to defeat the Wizards started two years ago...

The Wizards came to the "City of Angels" amid such public opinion.

Jiang Dalin didn't care about the doubts from the outside world and replied: "Will other teams that have won the championship for two consecutive years be questioned like this?"

However, it can be seen that other people are indeed a little excited and nervous in this atmosphere.

After all, most of them are newcomers, and even the current main players are not all starters. For example, Haywood has been on the bench for a year and has just been promoted.

Last year, the main force that faced off against Shaquille O'Neal was the "senior group."

Even if he is not the main defender this year, he will definitely be one of the main defenders.

Another example is Arenas and Boozer, both of whom have just arrived this year and don’t even have championship experience!

At this point, the outside world's judgment of the Wizards is actually not wrong.

Can……

Jiang Dalin just didn't like this feeling of being looked down upon.

The finals came soon, and when the Wizards entered Staples Arena, the audience immediately burst into loud boos.

Just give it to Arenas and the others who have never played in the finals.

It turns out...

Having a strong personality and being nervous are two different things.

The Lakers players came on the field, and amidst the cheers from the audience, two people immediately looked towards the Wizards.

Looking for that figure that they have missed for a long time.

This time... they definitely won't lose again!

The game then comes.

Jiang Dalin faced Shaq. Both of them had serious faces. When the referee blew the whistle, the two of them immediately raised their heads from the beginning. When the ball reached the highest point, the two of them also took off immediately. They showed their enthusiasm from the beginning.

He has the attitude of fighting for every ball.

Jiang Dalin finally touched the ball first.

After throwing the ball back, the ball reached Billups' hands. The crowd immediately booed. Arenas didn't seem to react and even looked around.

After half-time, I suddenly remembered that I was playing a game and got back into the game.

Amidst the huge boos, Billups directed his teammates to move, but because the boos were a bit loud, the Wizards' landing was never quite satisfactory to him.

At times like this, his mind works very quickly. After coming to the Wizards, he quickly understood one thing...

If you have any problem, please contact Jiang Dalin!

So he immediately communicated with Jiang Dalin.

Jiang Dalin caught the ball from a high position and looked at Drew Gooden who was not walking outside. He raised his hand and shot.

The ball hit the net and the scene became quite quiet for a moment.

The ball was played in the backcourt, but Fisher didn't even get the ball this time. Kobe got the ball from the backcourt.

Fisher has been the younger brother of the "OK" group for so many years, and now he vaguely thinks of last year, which seemed to be around this time, something was not quite right with Kobe, and there was something a little bit more wrong with Shaq as well.

Until this playoffs, he thought Kobe had changed, but now it seems...

These two people obviously fell ill only after meeting Jiang Dalin!

Kobe went to the frontcourt to face Arenas. The latter looked very serious and serious, but Kobe's escape was already reflected in the back. Arenas' mere confrontation with him did not prevent his feet from entering the inside.

When he was not paying attention, Kobe reached the free throw line, then raised his hand to catch the ball, and the ball hit the frame.

2-2 draw!

Kobe just looked at him with piercing eyes, without any change in his expression. He was still very serious...

Because for him, a battle had already begun, but it ended very early. So it was not the time for him to be happy at all.

This time Billups made a sudden breakthrough during the command, and during the confrontation he passed the ball to the outside. Arenas caught the ball and failed to move it away with a fake move, so he simply forced a breakthrough.

Kobe was by his side the whole time, and the whole process was perfect, and the ball fell out of the basket with a bang.

Shaq and Jiang Dalin headed together, and Shaq finally protected the ball.

Then it was quickly passed to Kobe. Kobe chased the ball in the frontcourt, and during the confrontation with Arenas, he drove the ball into the basket.

The score went ahead, and the cheers suddenly became louder. The Lakers retreated very quickly because Kobe kept urging everyone to return to defense.
