Guard With a Knife

The Duke's incredible performance in the third game of the finals was unanimously called by the world's media: the battle of annihilation!

When the Big Three gathered together, none of them could pose a threat to Duke Snoopy. He led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to slaughter the Big Three like melons and vegetables. Is Snoopy the strongest ruler in the history of the NBA? The words of the author have been heard endlessly.

However, Michael Jordan's supporters still firmly believe that Jordan was stronger back then, because the Utah Jazz in the 1980s and 1990s were no weaker than the Miami Heat.

In their theory, what's the difference between the Miami Heat's paint defense and paper?

No matter how powerful the superstar perimeter star is, he can't go deep into the paint to defend. The finals are all about defense. Look at those old guys on the Lakers. Under the leadership of Snoopy, how powerful their defense is!

Especially the two new recruits in the paint area, coupled with the parallel import second place, under the training of Duke Snoopy, they are now able to stand alone and build a strong barrier on the inside. How many times have the Big Three's defense been disrupted when entering the penalty area?

Therefore, they think Michael Jordan is stronger and more dominant.

This statement obviously also corroborates the statement of the Miami media. They do not admit that the team lost to Snoopy. They only believe that Miami is afraid of paying the luxury tax, so except for the Big Three, all the other players are not as good as the Lakers.

The Lakers...this is a bit of a lie.

Kupchak even wanted to open the payroll and have a duel with the Miami people to see who has the higher salary.

"As a general manager, if you don't have a precise vision, the ability to see through the potential of young players at a glance, and the ability to predict the chemical reactions of older players in advance, then... please pay a high luxury tax and select the most expensive stars on the market."

Kupchak said eloquently in the media: "There are only two ways to chase the championship trophy. You can't spend money and have no vision."

Kupchak has really been floating around lately. He was obviously overwhelmed by the overwhelming praise in the media.

With the rapid rise of the Purple and Gold Army, they appeared in the NBA as a dominant player. Everyone began to call Kupchak the greatest general manager of the 21st century.

Although Kupchak often said in the media that this was due to Snoopy, when people praise him too much, they can't help but get excited and complain in various ways.

…

However, just before Game 4 of the Finals, the Florida media finally revealed a big news.

Dwight Howard, an unrestricted free agent with an expiring contract, arrived in Miami from Orlando and was photographed taking a cruise with the Heat owner. Although the focus of the gossip media is on the female models filling the cruise ship.

However, the basketball media still captured the special message very accurately. He also verified with Dwight Howard in person that Warcraft was obviously not affected by the curse of 'if you can't beat him, join him', and the peak team-up matter did not affect his decision.

"I am completely free now. If a championship team is willing to offer me a contract that matches my worth, why not?"

Dwight Howard told the media with a smile on his face.

Then, he also took the initiative to talk about the current finals: "If I were sitting in the Miami penalty area, the Heat should be leading 3:0 now! This is the intimidation of the first center."

His words certainly sparked quite a discussion.

Although he spent a not very happy season with the Chicago Bulls, and his performance was not as good as expected. However, no one still doubts his strength, or even his dominance at the center position.

So... Howard joins the Heat. With his athletic ability and defensive ability, he can indeed seamlessly connect with the Big Three.

3:0 may be a bit exaggerated, but there is absolutely no problem with a 2:1 lead.

After all, these are three top five players in the league and one top ten player in the league. There has never been such a gorgeous lineup in the history of the NBA. No matter how strong Duke Snoop is or how powerful Kobe Bryant is, it is impossible to compete with these four superstars at their peak!

It's just that... Howard joining the Heat is a bit too... disappointing. He is the number one center in the league. How can the league's No. 1 center join a team that already has the Big Three?

Therefore, when the news came out, many people interpreted it as: This is most likely Dwight Howard's method of raising the price.

Because... after the Chicago Bulls experienced chaos in the playoffs, it is absolutely impossible to offer him a maximum salary for another five years. Now, he has set his sights again on the West. After acquiring James Harden, the Houston Rockets have recently been looking for a dominant inside center in the market, trying to restore the Yao-Mai combination of the year.

However, the shrewd Rockets general manager is obviously reluctant to give Howard, the first center who did not perform well in the playoffs and has back injuries, a contract worth more than four years and US$80 million. What's more, Howard still needs more authority in the contract, which has kept the negotiations at a deadlock.

Now, Howard appears in Miami, naturally wanting to put pressure on Houston.

According to expert analysis, it is difficult for Miami to make up its mind to offer a maximum salary. Their contracts with the Big Three have brought their salary space to near saturation, so they can only make some scraps to supplement other lineups.

With Howard's current attitude, he must be looking for a super maximum salary with an average annual salary of about 2,300.

This is unbearable pressure for the Heat.

But... if you don't bear this super maximum salary and the super luxury tax that comes with it. All their previous efforts have been in vain. The past three finals have proven that the Big Three cannot beat Duke Snoopy. If they continue to be so conservative, either the Big Three will apply for trades one after another, or they will just wait for another two years and wait until the contract is over to break up!

Both of these results are not what the Big Three want to see.

so….

"I think Miami will offer a max salary. They are like gamblers who are losing money. They don't care about the debt. They just want to win everything back."

Steve Nash discusses with Dugger and Kobe Bryant before Game 4. "The main key now is Dwight Howard. After the unpleasant trip to Chicago, will he continue to team up with others? Every superstar wants to save face, and few people will team up with others at their peak. It’s a huge loss to a team with giants.”

Nash said quietly.

However, Kobe Bryant shook his head: "You don't know much about today's young stars. Except for a few players such as Snoopy and Derrick, most of them don't have the character we had back then. For us, at our peak, It would be more uncomfortable to join someone else's team than to kill me. But for these young-bloods, it's not a problem at all. From what I know about Howard, as long as the money is available, he would rather go to Miami than Houston."

"Then... won't it be difficult for us to play next season??" Steve Nash became worried.

"That's what makes it interesting!" The little Duke smiled faintly: "It would be best if the other 28 teams in the league also form a super team. Sweeping them all the way like this year is actually not fun to watch!"

The Duke still behaves calmly and calmly.

The Black Mamba still looked like he had been beaten eight hundred times: He couldn't accept such a crazy Snoopy, how could he be crazier than me? This line should be spoken by me.

However, when he was preparing more domineering words, Artest ran over: "Hey, guys. How many points are we going to win tonight? How about winning by 35 points? This is my lucky number."

Kobe rolled his eyes at him: You will kill yourself sooner or later. So arrogant, okay?

However, before the game starts.

When the reporter interviewed the Black Mamba, the Black Mamba stretched out six fingers very gently: "Do you think there is anything wrong with my sixth finger?"

Forehead….

You just need a son.

The reporter really wanted to reply like this. But his professional ethics did not allow him to care about parenting knowledge, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "So, are you planning to end this game tonight?"

It has to be said that this reporter must be a terrible actor. His expression was even more exaggerated than the women Black Mamba met when he went out for prostitution. He knew: they were acting too.

But the Black Mamba still had the patience to pretend he should be awesome: "At the same time, it also ends Shaquille O'Neal's thoughts. I have long said that this year's Purple and Gold Army is the strongest in history!"

When this sentence reached the TNT live broadcast room, Shark became calm at this time. He did not feel embarrassed or stabbed at all. Instead, he said as he should: "Yes, I agree with Kobe Bryant's argument. But he must also admit that this matter does not have much to do with him. His greatest advantage in this matter is, Good at playing with the best players on the planet in 2001 and Snoopy in 2013!”

"So do you think Kobe Bryant is stronger this year or Kobe Bryant in 2001?" Mr. Barkley, a senior dog fan, asked a meaningful question.

Shark turned out to be even more calm: "I know what you want to say, but it is actually a fact. Snoopy this year is definitely stronger than me back then. I even think he has surpassed Michael Jordan, although many people still don't admit it. But...the only person in the world who can beat the Big Three is Snoopy! This is an indisputable fact! If it were any other team, the Miami Heat would have already booked the championship. But now, they even have to accept 4: 0 sweep ending.”

The shark's calmness made Barkley suddenly at a loss for words.

When the whole world recognized that his idol was the best in the world, he lost a lot of the joy of arguing and the excitement of counterattack and victory.

Now...everything feels dull.

I really hope that Dwight Howard can announce that he will join Miami in July, otherwise there will be no suspense at all.

…

Before the start of the fourth game, the Lakers specially invited a lion dance performance from Chinatown. The Staples Arena was filled with joy, and people who didn't know it thought the Chinese New Year had come early.

In fact, with Kobe Bryant's comeback in this game, Lakers fans are also in a very festive mood.

After a big win in Game 3, almost no fans were worried about winning Game 4.

Everyone is sitting on the Diaoyutai with a confident winning attitude.

And after the game started, this result did appear.

Although the offensive of the Big Three is quite fierce.

But with Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, and Snoop Dou forming a triangle offensive system on the outside. Lord Duke fell into a single on the strong side, Kobe Bryant wandered on the weak side, and Steve Nash connected from outside the three-point line.

A gorgeous and smooth start of the triangle offense that would make Phil Jackson throw away his crutches and dance.

No one can defend Duke alone.

No one can let Kobe Bryant off the ball.

No one can ignore Nash's three-point shooting ability and passing ability.

The three of them are linked together to form multiple-choice questions, and all defenders must be careful. The scariest thing is that even if you get the first few multiple-choice questions right, if you get the last one wrong, you will still lose everything.

Moreover, sometimes even if you do it right, the Duke Dog and the Black Mamba can forcefully obliterate your efforts.

How to play this?

No matter how you play, you will lose points!

Pat Riley was still fighting in the locker room, trying to inspire the players' fighting spirit, so that everyone could fight tenaciously in the last game, fight back, and create a historical miracle of a 3:0 reversal.

But now, when he saw such an exquisite triangle offensive package.

He could only sit back sadly, bury his head in his hands, and stop roaring on the sidelines.

There is no point anymore.

The plan of the Big Three was completely torn up by Snubido, who traded three draft picks that year.

If he had known it would happen today, why would Pat Riley have to use all his tricks?

Such a big move made the whole world excited. In the end, he was killed by the abandoned generals who were traded back then for three consecutive years!

well!

Pat Riley sighed, so sad that he almost fainted in Staples Arena.
