Chapter 175 The Butterfly Effect

What Lian Feng didn't expect was that after the Hornets were eliminated, Yao Ming would be scolded by trolls on the Internet for no apparent reason.

Um……

The reason is that the Rockets were swept by the Spurs 4-1.

This ending was actually expected.

In this version of the Rockets, the depth of the lineup is the shackle that restricts them from going further.

The Spurs, like the Jazz in history, defeated the Rockets with just one move. That was to double-team Yao Ming and McGrady like crazy.

It's outrageous. The other Rockets players really couldn't make any shots. This scene also completely convinced the other Hornets players that Lien's previous strategy was right.

If they had adopted the strategy of infinitely double-teaming Yao Ming and McGrady, perhaps the Hornets would have gone further.

Byron Scott's idea was not wrong, but he did not expect that the Rockets' role players would really stretch their hips to such an extent.

In fact, the Spurs' method against the Rockets is to double-team Yao Mai on the surface. In fact, the deeper strategy is far more than that. They prevent Yao Ming from receiving the ball, double-team McGrady all the way, and others

It is a mid-to-long range shot, but it never gives a chance to finish in the penalty area.

It's really a good move.

In terms of coaching level, Popovich has indeed surpassed Byron Scott by many miles.

I just don’t know if Adelman will surprise the team next season.

Before you can grow up to the point where you can play one against five, to win the finals, the tactical system, the performance of your teammates, the performance of your opponents and even the on-site referees are all indispensable.

The reason why Yao Ming was scolded is similar to the reason why EDG was scolded in the future League of Legends S series for several years.

In a word, it is the "illusory god of civil war".

Yao Ming defeated Lien Feng and entered the next round. In the eyes of Chinese fans, this was China's "Civil War", so the Civil War attacked with force, and the label of being timid to the outside world was ruthlessly pinned on Yao Ming's head.

.

In this regard, Lian Feng couldn't help but lament the strange thinking of this generation of fans.

Trolls are often unreasonable.

Of course Yao Ming is innocent. The outcome of a basketball game is inherently affected by many factors, such as whether the team's tactical style is consistent, the players' on-the-spot performance, the referee's whistle, etc.

But the trolls can't care that much.

If you stepped on Lian Feng and entered the next round, you carried the hopes of hundreds of millions of fans. If you messed up, this is the original sin.

But I believe that with Yao Ming's strong mind, he will definitely not care about these comments.

The next game started to make Lian Feng a little excited.

The results of the first round of the Western Conference were basically that the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers, the Suns eliminated the Jazz, the Spurs defeated the Nuggets, and the Rockets defeated the Hornets.

However, Kobe showed his lone hero attributes in the series. Kobe averaged 34 points per game, including 49 points in the third game, but it didn't help. The Mavericks eliminated the Lakers with a score of 4 to 1.

.

This time, the resentful Kobe requested a trade from the team, and the East Coast Sharks began to mock Kobe.

Next, the Suns faced the Mavericks in the second round. The fastest running and gunning team in the league faced the Mavericks with Dirk as the core.

The two sides fought for 7 games.

Lian Feng believes that this game between the Suns and the Mavericks may be the most exciting game in the entire series.

Dirk understands Nash just as Nash understands Dirk.

Both of them have reasons why they can't lose.

Nash is the closest to the championship this year, and Lian Feng especially knows that Nash will not be as close to the championship as he was this year for many years to come.

Historically, the Suns were originally supposed to face the Spurs in this round, but then encountered Horry's flagrant foul, which took away two of the Suns' generals, and ultimately completely changed the direction of this series.

And what about Dirk? He just took over the regular season MVP trophy from David Stern after the first round.

He must prove his worth.

Of course, Lian Feng felt that Dirk was already good enough. After all, historically, he had just been hacked and then received the trophy in extreme embarrassment.

After history went awry, the Suns and Mavericks played a wonderful round of games.

To Lian Feng's surprise, the Suns led 3-2 at first and returned to Phoenix in Game 6.

Then, Dirk Nowitzki withstood the pressure and pulled back the game in the away game. The score reached 3-3, and the two sides entered a tiebreaker.

In the last game, Lian Feng specially flew to the scene to watch the game.

As a result, in the last game between the Suns and the Mavericks, the shortcomings of the lack of depth on the bench due to the general's efforts to rejuvenate the Mavericks were infinitely magnified.

The Suns relied on the outstanding performance of Stoudemire, who ranked first in efficiency in the playoffs, to successfully defeat the Mavericks.

Dirk was upset after the game, while Lian Feng muttered over and over again off the court: "That's enough, it's time to be satisfied. It's enough that we didn't get hacked."

Then, the Western Conference finals are the Suns and the Spurs.

This game came later than in history.

Although the two sides met later than in history, it was still as fierce as Lian Feng remembered.

There was blood in the first game between the two sides. Nash's nose was broken by Horry's elbow, and blood flowed. He then put a band-aid on it, once again creating that classic image. Horry was suspended for this flagrant foul.

A one-game suspension completely changed the course of the series.

After the first game, Duncan scored 36 points and 18 rebounds, but was defeated by Nash with 34 points and 11 assists.

In the second game, Stoudemire scored 33 points, and the Spurs made only 6 of 21 three-pointers and made 19 turnovers. In the end, the Suns made 104 and 85, beating the Spurs.

After this game, Lian Feng hesitated and called Nash: "Be careful of Horry."

But what happened next took a turn for the worse. Horry, who returned to the court, fouled Nash again - this time at his own expense, throwing Nash off the court.

Perhaps because of Lian Feng's reminder, Nash was on guard this time and was not seriously injured.

Because he was a second offender, Horry was banned from participating in all subsequent games.

This scene is very similar to history, but fortunately this time it was Phoenix's home court and the referee did not favor the Spurs. Even though Stoudemire and the others rushed onto the court, they were not suspended.

Lian Feng also confirmed through this game that the Spurs were indeed unclean. Horry once admitted that the foul he made on Nash was part of the tactics. Unexpectedly, it was the same in this time and space.

Lian Feng is somewhat disgusted with the Spurs.

I admire Duncan, but I don't like the Spurs.

What happened next was exactly what Lian Feng had hoped for. Although the Spurs came back in Game 3, they were ultimately defeated by the Suns in a row.

The Suns advanced to the finals.

Lian Feng thought this ending was very good. If there hadn't been Horry's flagrant foul in history, the Spurs might not have been able to beat the Suns.

You know, in the fifth game between the Suns and the Spurs in history, in the absence of Diaw and Stoudemire, the Spurs only managed to win with difficulty.

This outcome is what Lian Feng is happy to see.

There were basically no changes in the Eastern Conference, and the Cavaliers still advanced to the finals.

Facts have proved that the finals is still a little early for the 22-year-old LeBron James.

Historically, the Spurs crushed the Cavaliers 4-0, and now the Suns are doing the same thing, just 4-1.

The Suns' defensive strategy was too simple. Stoudemire was behind Marion, covering James' breakthrough route, while Nash used the pick-and-roll and the classic triangle position to punish the Cavaliers crazily on the offensive end.

In the end, Nash won the championship and FMVP. The moment he won the cup, he cried with joy and told reporters: "What else can I ask for?"

So this season there is no more of Duncan's classic line to James: "The future belongs to you, but now the championship belongs to us."

After the series ended, Lian Feng posted a message: In fact, the Suns should thank me for this little butterfly.

However, after thinking about it, Lian Feng immediately deleted this sentiment.

Haha, history is always being created.

There is more history to be made.
