Chapter 284: Emperor Lin's restless heart, a familiar and unfamiliar finale(2/2)
After eating the cake, several people walked along the street for a while, and then they separated.
After seeing Swift off, Lin Ying turned around and bought a box of cigars from the store next door, then walked to the roadside and started smoking silently.
He is a little confused now.
He doesn't want to fall in love and has his own concerns. He has even always regarded Swift as a friend.
But Swift is so good to her friends and so real and unreserved.
To describe it in one sentence, she is like a little sun, which can make you feel warm and comfortable, and then make you feel happy.
This kind of woman looks like a lunatic, but is really lovable.
After smoking half of the cigar, Lin Ying put it directly on the roadside bridge, then turned and left.
Why do you think so much? Just be friends and be happy. If you really rush to fall in love, you will just become one of the many ex-boyfriends in the end.
But friends can last a lifetime.
…
While Lin Ying was undergoing special training, the Eastern and Western Conference finals were also going on intensely.
The final matchup in the Eastern Conference is the Bulls VS Knicks.
Although the Bulls lost to the Hawks in the first game, they played steadily in the subsequent games and eliminated the Hawks 4-2 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Knicks were relatively clean, sending the Celtics home 4-1, completely destroying the Big Three's hope of winning another championship.
It is worth mentioning that although Garnett has a bad mouth, he performed very well throughout the series, averaging close to 20+10 points per game.
After all, if you say harsh words, he must be the one who wants to win the most.
But Pierce had diarrhea again, and his shooting percentage did not exceed 40% in the entire series.
Sure enough, if there is diarrhea for the first time, there will be a second time, a third time...
As a result, he was given a new name by fans: Rasheed Pierce.
Then let’s go back to the Eastern Conference Finals, Bulls VS Knicks.
Because of the previous MVP award, James fans turned Rose into a charcoal, which of course also caused dissatisfaction from Rose fans.
In this narrow encounter, not only the players and the team are competing, but the two fans are also competing off the court.
Then in G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, just like the season opener, the Bulls won!
103 to 88, quite a win!
It can be seen from the score that the Bulls' iron barrel formation made the Knicks strong enough.
The statistics of the game also illustrate this point. Wade and James did not score more than 20 points in the whole game, but Bosh performed well and scored 30 points.
This directly shows that the best way to solve the problem against the Bulls is shooting.
No matter how powerful your breakthrough is, the three layers of defense inside and outside can still choke you.
This first game also made Bulls fans extremely excited.
Even Jordan stood up and spoke for Rose after this game.
"This kid can bring another 6 championships to Chicago!"
What Jordan said was truly shocking.
Moreover, Jordan usually only exchanged blows with Johnson, so it is really unprecedented to evaluate a player like this.
Although, it can also be explained.
After all, he won the MVP in his third year, and now he leads his team to the Eastern Conference Finals in his third year, and also defeated the Knicks, who are considered the strongest in the league, in the first round.
This can be compared with Iverson's victory over the OK team.
Then, the Bulls never won again...
From a metaphysical point of view, the players compared to Iverson are somewhat sad, and being raped by Jordan was a direct and sudden death.
But a rational analysis of the subsequent games will reveal that James made his changes.
Since it's hard to score on your own offense, you should simply defend instead of attack!
Because the Bulls' offense is actually not very good, they basically play around Rose's breakthrough.
So James and Wade, who were behind, only did one thing, and they pinched Rose together.
Just this one thing paralyzed the Bulls' offense.
No matter how fierce Rose is, he can't get past the combined efforts of James and Way.
Moreover, Rose's passing at this time was not very good, and his outside shooting was even worse.
As for Boozer, he is very good at shooting after the pick-and-roll, but if he is allowed to play with the ball, his lethality is not enough to affect the direction of the series.
So it was expected that the Bulls would lose.
Then after the series went smoothly, fans saw something unexpected, James' back!
In times of adversity, James didn't dare to take it out casually, but after things went smoothly, he also showed off his skills.
His grasp is quite good.
Although he is still far from the level of Kobe, he has also understood the essence of the pivot foot, and he started learning it in the middle of the season, so he must have put in a lot of hard work.
4-1, the Knicks defeated the Bulls and advanced to the finals.
This is also the fourth time in James' eight-year career that he has reached the Finals.
Looking at the Western Conference, the two teams in the Western Conference Finals are the Mavericks and the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies finished the black eight despite not being favored all the way, and then defeated the Thunder. They were full of dark horses.
But what is unexpected is that the Mavericks finally eliminated the Grizzlies with a 4-1 score.
Like the Suns' previous encounters, the Grizzlies were completely unable to suppress Nowitzki.
What a black and white duo, Nowitzki's offense covers the entire half, and there is no need to go inside to fight with you.
And the most outrageous thing is the performance of the rest of the Mavericks. Kidd, Terry, and Marion. The performance of this group of role players is unbelievably stable.
So the finals, Knicks VS Mavericks!
Before the finals started, the league announced the winners of the best team for the final award of the season.
Best Defensive Team: James, Kobe Bryant, Lin Ying, James, Howard
All-Defensive Second Team: Rondo, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Garnett, Tyson Chandler
All-NBA First Team: Rose, Kobe, James, Durant, Howard
All-Pro Second Team: Westbrook, Wade, Lin Ying, Nowitzki, Yao Ming
All-NBA Third Team: Paul, Ginobili, Pau Gasol, Randolph, Duncan
Like last year, Lin Ying finally gained a second team.
Now with Durant and James on the front line, if you want to make the first team, just relying on performances like this this season is obviously not enough.
Then talking about the finals, Lin Ying was also paying close attention during training.
Because to him, a person with open eyes, this is almost a replica of the historical Big Three of the Heat vs. the Mavericks.
Of course, the difference is completely visible. The quality of the Knicks' role players is much better than that of the Heat. Moreover, James can post up and matures earlier.
Chapter completed!
