NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 587: I never miss anyone

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

In this game, the Knicks team played very well.

Stoudemire staged a "veteran never dies" game, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, contributing the team's second-highest scoring total of 24 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.

After Cousins ??came back in the second half, he also played an advantage on both ends of the offense and defense, scoring 16 points and 11 rebounds.

One of the surprises for the audience is Hassan Whiteside.

Although he only scored 6 points, he grabbed 9 rebounds and sent 5 blocks in the limited playing time.

After the game, Stoudemire and Zou attended the press conference together.

13 points in a single quarter and dunking James, these also made him the focus of questions from reporters at the post-match press conference.

When the press conference was over, Stoudemire had just entered the locker room when he was celebrated by his teammates "cooling down with an ice bucket".

"Knicks!"

"Defending the title!"

By the end, the players raised their hands and chanted their goals for the season together.

After going crazy in the locker room, Lian Dao was about to leave the arena and drive home.

Passing by the training hall, I found that the sound of shooting was still coming from inside.

Lian Dao walked in and found that it was Butler.

"Jimmy, pay attention to the balance between work and rest!"

Butler found out that it was Lian Dao, so he stopped shooting practice and walked over.

Lian Dao threw the water to Butler.

"Thank you, sickle!"

Butler took the water and sat casually on the floor beside Lian Dao.

"Somewhat disappointed? Is it because the coach didn't arrange for you to play tonight?"

Lian Dao asked.

Butler nodded first, then shook his head again.

"I know that there is still a gap in my strength. I have no emotions about Mike's arrangement. I just hate my lack of talent and lack of strength!"

"So I…"

Butler said emotionally.

"So, you want to train hard and get up to Mike's standards, right?"

"Yes, as long as I can improve my strength, as long as I can play, I don't mind sweating a lot!"

Butler's eyes were firm.

"Jimmy, talent is something we cannot decide on our own. It is the upper limit of a player."

"There is no shortage of talented players in the league, but there are very few players whose real strength reaches the upper limit of talent."

"Do you know why?"

Lian Dao turned her head and asked.

Butler thought for a while, then shook his head.

"It's because of hard work. Hard work is not a talent, but it is a necessary condition to maximize the talent."

"It's more like a quality, a character!"

"And you have that quality!"

"Am I really as good as you say?"

Butler scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Of course, rookie, I've never missed anyone."

"Go on, rookie, you will have a chance. And, I believe you will become the most shining star in the 11th session in the future!"

Lian Dao patted Butler on the shoulder, stood up, and walked out.

Butler stared blankly at Lian Dao's back until he disappeared.

Then, Butler's gaze became much firmer, he stood up and walked to the training ground, and started shooting again and again.

…

On the second day after the end of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the curtain of the Western Conference Finals also officially opened.

The result of the game was unexpected.

The Spurs, who were not optimistic, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 101:98 at home.

Although the Spurs easily resolved the battle in the first two rounds, in the eyes of many fans, this is not because of the strength of the Spurs, but because of good luck.

Needless to say, the first-round opponents are the Jazz. It is already a surprise that the rebuilding team can reach eighth in the Western Conference.

The Clippers, the opponent in the semifinals, were dragged by the Grizzlies to play seven games in the first round.

The **** bear is even dubbed by fans as Griffin's fairy rope.

From beginning to end, Griffin was taken care of by Randolph.

The experience of the Clippers let all fans know why all teams in the league are unwilling to meet the Grizzlies.

The other teams in the league know that the Grizzlies can't win the championship, but they just don't want to run into the Grizzlies.

As far as the Grizzlies' defense is concerned, if you don't die, you will peel off your skin.

The key is that this is still the case without Tony Allen.

The Clippers, who eliminated the Grizzlies in seven games, are already in a state of residual blood.

To make matters worse, they still had their most odious back-to-back against the Spurs in Game 1 of the semifinals.

This has heralded the end of the Clippers.

Griffin was tortured to death by Randolph, and then taught to be a man by Duncan again.

The Clippers, who were physically and mentally exhausted, were defeated in the semifinals.

Many fans joked that the Spurs got a big deal when they met the Clippers.

…

However, the Thunder are not like the teams that the Spurs played against in the previous two rounds.

The Thunder are younger, and both the depth of the lineup and the allocation of players are more reasonable.

And this season the Thunder's three juniors are known as the league's most talented combination in the future.

But even so, the Thunder were still educated by the Spurs.

In the face of the Spurs' extreme team offense, the Thunder's defensive counterattack could not be fought at all, and they could only be dragged into a positional battle by the Spurs.

The Spurs also showed their defensive skills in positional warfare, flanking and assisting defenses made the team's overall defense airtight.

The Thunder struggled very much in this situation.

Durant was taken care of by "facial paralysis" Leonard and "martial saint" Jackson in turn. He made 8 of 19 shots and 0 of 4 three-pointers.

Scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists through free throws.

Westbrook made 7 of 21 shots, but made 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Except for these two, none of the Thunder's starters scored in double figures.

Yin Baka, who had performed well before, was defended by Duncan's iron blood and had few chances.

Although the Thunder's substitutes performed well, especially Harden and Westbrook hit three consecutive three-pointers in the last seventeen seconds.

In the last shot, Harden hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

However, they broke out too late, and the Thunder fell behind too much at the last moment, a full 10 points.

And the Spurs were also scoring, and in the end the Thunder still lost the game.

After this game, all fans dare not underestimate the Spurs anymore.

The voices of the league saying "the Spurs are getting old" have all disappeared.

…

The G2 battle between the Knicks and the Heat, one day later, still started at Madison Square Garden.

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

After the G1 victory, the momentum of the Knicks reached its peak, and everyone wanted to go to Miami with a 2:0 advantage.

On the night of the game, Madison Garden was still packed.

The enthusiasm of the fans is still high, and the atmosphere of the game is hot.

According to media reports before the game, the tickets for the Knicks' first two games have been fired by scalpers for more than double.

That's it, it's still hard to get a vote.

It is precisely because it is hard to find a ticket that it is even more difficult for the fans who enter the stadium to hide their enthusiasm.

During the warm-up before the match, fans screamed and shouted from time to time.

Madison has been called a basketball Mecca, and now it truly lives up to its name!

…

After the players from both sides warmed up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineup of the two teams was announced.

Neither team made adjustments to their starting lineups.

The Heat still didn't let Bosh start, which surprised Lian Dao.

The final warm-up is over, and the game will start soon.

In the first half, the Heat played super high-quality offensive and defensive ends~www.innread.com~ Of course, the Knicks' play here is not bad.

The only difference is that Stoudemire and Hassan's performance in this game was obviously not as good as in G1.

It's not that their state has ups and downs, but that Spoelstra has made targeted defenses.

Spoelstra arranged for James to focus on marking Stoudemire, and Stoudemire's space to play was greatly limited.

As for Hassan, he still has many flaws.

The main thing is that Hassan is on the court, and the Heat will catch Hassan's point of dislocation singles on the outside.

Especially Wade, with the help of Bosh's pick-and-roll in the second quarter, specifically aimed at the defect of Hassan's slow pace of switching high-level core guards.

Moreover, Wade's shooting percentage in the second quarter was really high, about 73%, which was quite terrifying.

At the end of the halftime game, the Knicks did not get any cheap like G1.

Instead, the Heat are the ones who have always had the upper hand.

At halftime, the score was 50:58.

This result also made the Knicks fans watching the game a little restless.

They didn't expect the Heat to be so aggressive in G2.

In fact, the Heat have never been weaker than the Knicks.

The real explosive power of the Big Three is quite terrifying.

Especially this season, their cooperation is more perfect, the substitute lineup has been strengthened, and the lineup has reached a new height.

Although the Knicks' lineup is more reasonable, Lian Dao is the only one who can reach the strength of a superstar.

In terms of the configuration of top stars, the current Knicks are weaker than the Heat.
