MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 627 Finals vs. Pistons
Chapter 627 Finals vs. Pistons
On the 25th, the Suns returned to Phoenix.
That night, the Nets defeated the Pistons, and the two sides tied 2-2.
Dayao scored 32 points and 12 rebounds, shot 55% from the field, and sent 6 big blocks, another explosion.
"Dayao, you are so unstable! If you continue to delay, your physical fitness is a problem. If you can solve it as soon as possible, solve the piston as soon as possible."
"Brother, I can't help it. Their defense is too strong. It's better for me to pull it out. As long as I'm close to the basket, there are very few opportunities for singles."
Old Wang chatted with Dayao, and felt that there was a high probability that he would play against the Pistons in the finals, because Dayao told him that he had some physical problems, he was very tired from the game, and his recovery after the game was not good.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you lose, after the Eastern Conference finals, go back to China and take a good rest, prepare for the Olympics, I will take you to win the gold medal."
"Brother, what I said, I still want to join you in the finals."
"It doesn't make any sense. You should accept your fate. With the current strength of the Nets, the only way to reach the finals is to be swept away by us."
"That's not necessarily the case. After I pull out, you have to follow. The inside is empty, and Stoudemire can't defend the restricted area."
"Why should I come out? Just let Stoudemire switch on you. I control the penalty area, add rebounds, and use fast breaks. Halftime can wear down your physical fitness. Even if you play the god-level performance last time, it's okay. Chance to win."
"Ugh!"
…
On the 26th, the G5 game of the Western Conference Finals.
Before he died, Duncan struggled desperately, but he barely fought for half of the game. In the second half, he couldn't play at all. He walked and played. Under the fast break of the Suns, the Blazers collapsed.
Duncan had continuous cramp in the third quarter, so Dunleavy had to replace him, remove the main players, and throw in the towel.
"Congratulations to the Suns, they eliminated the Trail Blazers 4-1 and entered the finals!" Su Qun shouted excitedly before the game was over.
"Let's watch Dayao now. If he can also reach the finals, then this finals will be the Chinese Derby." Zhang Lili also said excitedly.
Su Qun said excitedly: "Dayao led his team to the finals in the second season of his debut. In the third season, that is, last season, he successfully won the championship. If he reaches the finals again this season, he will be in the finals for three consecutive years. In the final, this performance was not worse than that of old K."
Zhang rationally said with a smile: "After all, debut is the pinnacle! But the Eastern Conference is relatively weak, and he still can't compare with the Iron Army. The Iron Army has won two championships in the past three years. Even if the Nets reach the finals this year, they will definitely not be able to beat the Suns."
Su Qun nodded and said, "I just don't know how Dayao can perform against Old K."
Zhang Lili laughed and said: "Dayao's current tonnage is 135 kilograms. Although he is 5 kilograms heavier than Tie Jun and his lower body strength is also very strong, his center of gravity is higher and his basic strength is far inferior to Tie Jun. It is difficult to hold Tie Jun. Back attack, and the speed is a lot slower than the Tiejun, and the effect of going around the front will not be very good. He must rely on the help of his teammates to defend against the Tiejun, and his single defense will be blown up.
On the offensive end, his turnaround jumper in the low post, and turnaround step-back jumper are all incomprehensible, and the Tiejun can't prevent them.
In addition, the hook is also good. His hook and turning and retreating steps were all taught by Tie Jun. Now Tie Jun can't prevent his low attack.
Especially if it is pulled out to make a high-level fort, once the touch comes, anyone, including the Suns, can blow it up, and there is no way to defend against it. "
Su Qun said with a smile: "Once Dayao gets the ball on the offensive end, the only things that can limit him are physical fitness and touch."
"right."
Zhang rationally nodded and smiled: "On the whole, if the Nets and the Suns meet in the Finals, the Suns will definitely have the upper hand.
Yao is the same as Duncan. Even if he can persist in the first few games of the series, he will be dragged down by the Suns' fast break tactics.
Moreover, the strength of the Nets is not as good as that of the Blazers. Yao does not have a good helper in the interior, and his performance may not be as good as that of the Blazers. "
At this time, it was Saturday morning in China. Dabao saw his father entered the finals, and immediately shouted excitedly to his mother: "Brother Fei, I'm going to the United States to watch the finals."
"What are you calling me? Dabao, you are getting more and more unruly." Brother Fei, who had a big belly, got angry.
"Mom, here it is."
Zhou Zhou, who was playing next to her, saw her mother angry. The four-year-old girl was very filial. She quickly picked up the feather duster on the coffee table and handed it over, making Brother Fei dumbfounded.
Dabao glared at Zhou Zhou, little girl, why are you so fooled now?
He was not afraid at all, and he yelled again with a smile: "Mom, dear mother, please ask me for leave and let me go to the United States, I beg you."
"Don't even think about it!"
Brother Fei glared at Dabao and said, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your father when you ask for leave to watch the game in the United States? He usually doesn't beat you, but he can beat you to death if you get annoyed."
Speaking of this, she changed the subject and said temptingly: "Why don't you go to the United States to study, and American elementary schools will have summer vacation on June 1st, so you can watch your dad play the finals every year."
Dabao said dejectedly: "Forget it, I think Fengshen Street is more suitable for me."
"Okay, Dabao, don't make your mother angry. You and grandpa watch Zhou Zhou at home, don't take Zhou Zhou outside to play."
Sister Liu came out with two big bags. Brother Fei's due date is approaching, and he is going to the hospital for delivery today. Everything is ready.
"understood."
Dabao promised well, as soon as Liu Damei and Fei Ge left, he immediately left Zhou Zhou and ran out to play. Wang Aiguo and Zhou Zhou couldn't help shouting behind them.
"Brother Fei, are you in the hospital?"
"Just came in, don't worry, this is the third child, familiar with the way, everything is OK."
After the game, Lao Wang returned to the villa in the middle of the night, and called Fei Ge before going to bed.
"I've decided on the name of the third child, Wang Zhenhua, nickname..."
"The nickname is Erbao, his grandmother has already thought about it. Husband, I have agreed, this is the last child."
"Well, do you want to have another baby?"
"No, one child every four years. I will be 37 years old in four years. I am too old to have children. It is very dangerous."
"All right, two men and one woman are enough."
Not long after Brother Fei hung up the phone, groups of people who came to visit her appeared.
After the popular Ge Ge drama in the past few years, the domestic film and television circle has now become an entertainment circle, actors have become stars, and the development of film and television has kept up with the pace of domestic economic development and has developed rapidly.
The Nortel actors who ate and drank on Fengshen Street in the past are now big names in the circle, and there are not a few top-tier ones, occupying half of the circle. These people have now become the cash cows in the hands of Brother Fei.
In addition, the company owns the resources and channels of Hollywood. Even domestic directors such as Director Zhang are united with Feige Film and Television. Feige has become the largest private film and television company in China. The combined size of the next few film and television companies Not as good as the Feige family.
She is already planning to go public. At the beginning of this year, she reorganized the company into Feige Media Group. She is going through the procedures step by step. It is expected to complete the listing next year and become the first domestic film and television company to go public.
The current Brother Fei is already an important figure in the entertainment industry, and only the artists and stars of Feige Company come to visit her, wave after wave.
…
On the 27th, the Pistons defeated the Nets, 3 to 2, and won the battle of Tianwangshan.
On the 28th, New York, the NBA held the 2004 draft lottery ceremony.
This year, the league has expanded its army and added a team, changing from 29 teams to 30 teams.
The added team is called the Charlotte Bobcats. After the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans, the city has been planning to build a new team.
In the end, the Magic got the No. 1 pick, the Clippers got the No. 2 pick, and the Spurs got the No. 3 lottery.
However, the Bobcats got the second pick of the Clippers through a trade.
Jordan also participated in the lottery ceremony. He has always hoped to become the big boss of a team, but he has no chance.
Now he is very unsatisfactory in the Wizards. The big boss forced him to come back last time. After he didn't agree, he was disliked by the big boss, which reduced his power in the Wizards, which made him very unhappy.
Last year, when the Bobcats were preparing to build, he had the idea of playing this team, but he owned 5% of the shares of the Wizards, so he failed to do so.
But he has not given up on the Bobcats, and has been in touch with the big boss of the Bobcats, but he has not yet made up his mind to give up the shares of the Wizards.
The Bobcats' big boss also hopes that Jordan can become the team's small boss, so that the team can use Jordan's influence to get more attention.
…
On the 29th, the Pistons defeated the Nets again and reached the finals with a score of 4-2.
Lao Wang immediately contacted Dayao and told him: "Dayao, after a physical examination, go back to China. Don't go to the national team to report. I have already coordinated with Director Liu. After two months of rest, at the end of July or early August Let's report together.
After we report for duty, we don’t need to participate in those warm-up matches. We just play a few training games within the team and get in touch with our teammates.
During your rest period, you should rest completely in the first month, and then you can carry out appropriate recovery training in the second month. The amount should not be too large, and the focus should be on recovery. "
"Okay, brother, then I wish you success in the finals, the seventh championship, envy!" Dayao said.
"There is nothing to envy. When you see me crown after crown in the future, you will gradually become numb." Lao Wang immediately boasted.
"Brother, is it true that the United States does not pay taxes for bragging?"
"Ha, boy, what I've been bragging about has basically come true."
"Then I only have one championship, brother, you can retire early, let me win a few more championships."
"O'Neal probably wants to leave, why don't you go to the Lakers and join forces with that kid Kobe? Your personality matches him very well, and there will be no conflicts."
"Forget it, I still have a chance to enter the finals if I stay in the east. If I go to the west, I'm afraid I will be like a postman, and I won't even be able to touch the floor of the finals for the rest of my life."
…
On the evening of the 29th, ESPN updated its championship probability prediction on the official website overnight.
Suns 70%, Pistons 30%.
Although the Pistons played the same defense as an iron barrel, they are the strongest defensive team in the league, and there has always been a saying that defense wins the championship, but the media is still not optimistic about the victory of this civilian team. The probability can be seen.
On May 30th, the schedule of the finals was announced, starting on June 1st, with a seven-match four-win system, and the home and away games are two-three-two.
The last time Pharaoh won the championship was in the 99/00 season. He was born on Friday, Friday, and won the championship in June, completing a dynasty of three consecutive championships.
He was 27 years old that year, and now three seasons have passed. This is the fourth season, and he is 31 years old. Whether it is his fans in the United States or his fans in China, they all hope that this time he can play again. Win the championship and continue to be brilliant.
Especially in China, before the Olympic Games came, the attention of this finals even surpassed the attention of the Olympic Games.
Since Lao Wang joined the league in 1992, until today, the most popular sport in China is basketball. In 2000, Lao Wang won three consecutive championships, and the men's basketball team won the Olympic silver medal. The atmosphere of basketball has reached its peak. He became the second child. If Lao Wang hadn’t retired due to injury in 2001 and hadn’t won the championship in the past three or four years. In 2002, the men’s football team entered the World Cup. The situation of football in China would be even worse. Stronger than previous years.
On the 31st, at 9 o'clock this morning, the league announced the best lineup.
Pharaoh was selected for a first team. This is also his 6th double team, 8th best team, and 6th defensive team.
At 11:00, Sissy arrived in Phoenix.
"uncle."
Old Wang went to the airport to pick up someone. The girl was always a little afraid of him, so she hurriedly shouted when she saw him.
"Your godmother will do some unnecessary things. It's unnecessary. You can just be a star and make a good movie. Don't learn from those Hollywood stars. Why are you chasing the popularity of the finals? Didn't you hear that you are already on the front line in China? ? An Jing is filming in China, hone her acting skills, don't let people say it's a vase, and rely on resources to get the upper hand." As soon as they met, Lao Wang said in a long-winded manner.
"oh oh."
She was scolded as soon as they met, but fortunately she got used to it. Sissy didn't know what to say, so she could only nod her head repeatedly.
"Let's go, go home first."
After getting in the car, Lao Wang said again: "Your godmother wants you to develop in Hollywood, to be an international star, let me tell you, now that Cheng Long has returned to China to develop, he said that the cultural differences between the two sides are too great, The domestic market is your market, there is no need to invest too much energy here, I think what he said is right, how about you see it for yourself?"
Cissy stuck out her tongue quietly. How could she dare to object? She is only under 17 years old and has no opinion.
"Just be obedient. If there is a good opportunity here, you will definitely be considered. If we want to shoot, we will definitely shoot the female number one, at most the female number two. It doesn't matter if you don't shoot other small roles. You are mixed up in the country. Run away There is absolutely no need to come out to shoot a small role with few lines, and I lose face. By the way, is Dabao obedient at home during this time?" Old Wang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked.
"Well, it's pretty good. It's good to study. I practice every day."
"That's good."
Old Wang didn't notice at all that Sissy was fooling him and didn't answer his question directly.
"You stay at home. I have training in the afternoon, so I don't eat lunch at home. By the way, Sissy, Cheng Long will come to watch the finals tomorrow at 3:00 pm. I don't have time. You and him have met many times. Pick me up at the airport for me."
"Got it, Uncle."
Send Sissy home, it’s almost noon, there is a chef and nanny at home, don’t let him take care of it, after putting her down and explaining, he went to the team by himself.
After he arrived at the headquarters, he ate a nutritious meal and participated in a tactical meeting with his teammates.
At the beginning of the meeting, Van Gundy Jr. said: "The main center of the Pistons is Ben Wallace. He is the team's defensive core and spiritual leader. He is tough in defense, can carry and top, and is top-notch in single defense and cooperative defense.
He teamed up with the main power forward Rasheed Wallace, who is also excellent in single-defense and assisting defense, and can turn the Pistons' penalty area into an iron barrel. The Nets lose on this point, so we can't be careless.
The main small forward is Tyshawn Prince. He is tall, 206 cm, has three-pointers, can shoot well, has excellent mobility, excellent wingspan, is good at low-post offensive skills, and has a strong ability to attack with the ball.
And the defense is very good, spider-style defense, single defense and assist defense are good, and the awareness of supplementary defense is very strong. He is the defensive trump card of the Pistons on the flank.
The main shooting guard is Richard Hamilton, the scoring leader of the Pistons this season, with an average of 17.6 points per game. But the three-point ability is average, and he is one of the best mid-range shooters today.
What I want to say is that Hamilton is the epitome of this Pistons. He is always in a calm, stable, and tough state on the field, and is always full of aggressiveness and hunger for victory.
The main point guard, Chauncey Billups, is the second scoring point of the Pistons this season. He is good at three-pointers and has a strong ability to make strong shots.
He is also the key man of the Pistons. He has a big heart and a cold-blooded family. He has a very high pass success rate and rarely makes mistakes. He is one of the best point guards at present.
His defense is also very strong, both single defense and cooperative defense are strong, his body is strong, and his confrontation ability is good.
In addition, he used to be a player of our Suns, but he chose to leave because he could not see the hope of winning the championship here.
What I want to remind is that the five main players of the Pistons are all defensive champions. What we have to face is a suffocating iron barrel formation. We have to be stronger than one level, we must be vigilant, and we must not underestimate them.
Also, on their bench, Okur, Campbell and others are not weak, so we can't be careless. "
D'Antoni has been thinking about how to play against the Pistons. The Pistons don't have big men like the Blazers. Each of the five main players is fast. If they play fast break, they should not be dragged down like the Blazers.
In addition, the Pistons play man-to-man defense, and all of them can run and are good at stalking. The Suns' fast break tactics are likely to be defended, and they need to be prepared to play positional warfare.
Daben and Spray teamed up, and in the Eastern Conference finals, Yao's offense at the basket was not very good. Yao's defense was not as good as that of old K, but the low-post offense was also unsolvable. Then in the finals, old K can be in their hands Take advantage?
The answer he gave himself was that the old K should be able to take advantage of some advantages, but the offensive efficiency will definitely be suppressed by the two Wallaces.
He and the coaching staff have analyzed the Pistons' style of play. It is a defensive style of play that will not let you score even if I don't score myself, so he actually has no hope for other people's offense.
The five main players of the Suns, Stoudemire and Marion, do not have the ability to attack with the ball.
Joe Johnson's singles ability is not outstanding, his efficiency is not enough, and he cannot take on important tasks.
So if the old K can't play enough advantage in this point, and there is no advantage in other positions, maybe the Suns will capsize in the gutter.
In the end, he and the coaching staff decided on how to play the G1 finals.
Defensively, because the Pistons are a purely defensive team. Larry Brown only likes man-to-man defense. The tactic of cutting the ball.
Let the old K pull out, Nash breaks through with the ball, and play a sudden point tactic, or Stoudemire and Marion cut in without the ball on the flank, and Nash and old K pass the ball, playing a pass-and-cut tactic.
At this time, after finally thinking it over, he said: "Everyone, on the defensive end, the Pistons have a lot of offensive points. Except for Ben Wallace, the other four can attack, and Hamilton's running position is too coquettish. Joe Johnson must not be able to keep up." His, in order to prevent our defensive formation from being torn by his off-ball movement, so we play zone defense."
Old Wang couldn't help but nodded. Although he had good speed, he didn't want to chase that undead guy when he switched defenses.
D'Antoni continued: "Their low post offense is not a threat. Rasheed Wallace's offense in the paint area is only 25%, and the mid-range shots account for 75%. As long as the old K is in the low post, we can completely defend it.
But pay attention to their breakthroughs. Hamilton, Prince, including Billups, are all capable of breakthroughs.
They are stronger on the perimeter. Billups and Prince have two three-pointers, and Rasheed Wallace can also shoot three-pointers. Therefore, our zone defense, according to Jeff's suggestion, plays a three-two zone defense, Main defense outside shooters. "
Xiao Fan next to him nodded, and continued: "Three-two defense expands the defensive area, which is also conducive to defensive counterattacks, but we must pay attention to some defensive blind spots.
For example, the sides, bottom corners, and the penalty area below the free throw line, these positions require low-post defenders to fill in the gaps in time..."
D'Antoni said again: "If the No. 1 position is restricted and can't play pass-cut or sudden-point tactics, immediately give the ball to Old K and let him solve the problem.
If the fast break tactics are not effective, don't force a fast break, and leave everything to the old K. "
