The King of the NBA

"The Timberwolves have reached the finals, and they will have a showdown with the Cavaliers next."

"The Cavaliers are strong and strong. They are not inferior to the Timberwolves in terms of lineup strength or bench depth. In terms of the balance and depth of the lineup, I am afraid that only the Cavaliers can compare with the Timberwolves."

"The key is LeBron James."

"Yes, the key is James. A team with James is a championship team. This is not nonsense. James' ability is really terrifying. He is the best player on the planet."

"The Timberwolves also have Ning Yi and Love."

"Can Ning Yi and Love compare with James? What's more, the Cavaliers also have Irving, and Pekovic, JR, and Mozkov have also played well this season. I feel that the Cavaliers are stronger. Weaknesses, under the leadership of James, all the way to the finals, what else can stop them?"

"That's because the teams in the East are weak."

"Speaking of which, the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers still have a festival. It is said that last summer, the Cavaliers actually wanted to poach Love, but they failed, so they changed to Pekovic."

"Love will not leave the Timberwolves, he is not a traitor like Pekovic"

The finals have not yet come, but the fans are already looking forward to it.

The performance of the Timberwolves this season is obvious to all. The stability of Love, the maturity of Ning Yi, the progress of Jokic and Whiteside, and the integration of Turner and Martin have become a strong team. Their lineup is complete. With a solid background, he definitely has the strength to compete for the championship.

But the Cavaliers are also very strong. With James, Irving, Pekovic, JR and other role players, it is no accident that the Cavaliers are kings in the Eastern Conference this season.

What will happen when these two teams play against each other?

Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena.

In the training on the basement floor, the Cavaliers players are training. After they advanced 4-0 and defeated the Eagles to advance to the finals, they rested for two days and then resumed training. They will continue to train until the finals. finals.

"Huh." James panted, stopped training, and came to the sidelines to sit down.

"Here." He handed over a bottle of water with one hand.

James turned his head to see Owen, and smiled: "Thank you."

Irving sat down next to him, and his teammates were still training. It was free training at the moment, and there were only a few days before the finals. Except for the tactical training for the Timberwolves, the players were all free training. After all, the time was too short. What kind of skills may be good, it can only be said to maintain a good state.

Looking at the sweating teammates, Owen said: "LeBron, we will win the finals, won the championship, right?"

James frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, we are the best team, and we will become the championship. I returned to the Cavaliers just for the championship, and I don't care about the rest."

This is the truth, the 30-year-old James has all the honors he should have, scoring champion, regular season mvp, championship, and finals mvp. He has proved that he is one of the best players on the planet. I need to prove myself, and I don't even care about those records and honors.

But he still owes Cleveland a championship trophy.

"Do you know?" James recalled with distant eyes, "I was so happy when I was selected by the Cavaliers. Ohio is my hometown. I have lived here since I was a child. Cleveland is my hometown team. It's my good fortune to play for my hometown team."

Owen knew this, but he still listened carefully.

James said: "At that time I swore, I must bring a championship trophy to Cleveland." After a pause, he said: "But then I left Cleveland, I violated my original intention, but I really Want to have a championship trophy. You know, at that time, the fans in Cleveland regarded me as a traitor, they took down the posters outside the arena, and even a lot of fans burned my jersey.”

"I'm sad but I tell myself I'll be back because I love this city."

"Now that I'm back, in order to fulfill my promise, for my original intention, and for the city I love, I want to bring a championship trophy to this city."

With that said, James looked at Irving: "I am very lucky to have a helper like you around me, as well as JR, Mozkov, and TT. I know we can do a lot of things, and we have done a lot of things. The regular season Eastern Conference record First, get through the first round of the playoffs, the second round, and reach the finals. We did a great job, but I think it’s more than that, we can do more, just in the upcoming finals .”

"We're going to win the championship, trust me!"

Hearing this, Owen's heart shook, his blood began to boil, and he nodded heavily: "Well, I believe in you."

James smiled and said: "No, not only believe in me, but also believe in yourself and our teammates. We are a whole, and we can only win by relying on everyone's strength."

Owen smiled.

Minnesota, Target Center.

The Western Conference Finals had just ended, and Coach Adelman gave the players a day off for everyone to rest, but Ning Yi did not rest, and still came to the arena for training.

This is his persistence, training every day, rain or shine.

Moreover, he doesn't think he is strong enough, he feels that he is not strong enough and needs to improve.

"In the finals, I will face the Cavaliers and James. Compared with James, I am not strong enough." Ning Yi knows exactly what kind of opponent he will face. That is the number one player in the NBA and a small forward at the historical level of the NBA.

In the upcoming finals, he will face James head-on, which makes Ning Yi feel a lot of pressure, but at the same time he can't help being excited about it.

This is different from the regular season. Although Ning Yi also played against James in the regular season, more than once, everyone knows that James in the playoffs is James with full skills.

After more than an hour, Ning Yi's training ended.

Back in the locker room, the bell rang. Ning Yi took out the phone and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. It turned out to be Pekovic's call. He pressed the answer button: "Pekovich."

"Ning." Pekovic's voice came from the other end of the phone. He seemed to be trying to organize his words. After a moment of silence, he said, "It will be the finals soon. To be honest, when I left the Timberwolves, I didn't expect One day, we'll play against each other in the Finals."

As he spoke, there was another silence.

Ning Yi didn't speak.

Pekovic broke the dullness: "I'm sorry. I know it's meaningless for me to say this, but I just want to say it so that I can go to the finals and play against you without distraction."

Ning Yi frowned and said: "You don't need to apologize. From the moment you left, you no longer belong to the Timberwolves. We are no longer teammates. Goodbye."

PS: I stopped updating for a long time before, because I was writing another book at the same time, and I often wrote and wrote the name. So I planned to stop for a while, but I injured my hand, I was injured in playing, I had a fracture, I had an operation, and I haven’t recovered yet, so I can only say that it’s better. Thinking that there is still a book here, I decided to resume the update. The update speed cannot be fast, but at least it needs to be updated and finished.
