NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 267 The Eve of the Western Finals
"4:0! It's 4:0 again!!!"

"The San Antonio Spurs swept the Los Angeles Clippers and became the second team in the Western Conference to advance to the conference finals, oh my god!"

"This year's Western Conference is too crazy. There have been sweeps in several consecutive series, especially this year's two conference finalists, the Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs, both advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a sweeping attitude. So, who is the real king of the Western Conference Finals? Let us wait and see!"

ESPN commentator Sergey Breen looked at the Spurs players who did not celebrate too much because of the promotion, but left the field silently, and was once again shocked by their strength.

They say the Spurs are old!

As a result, so far, their road to the championship has gone so smoothly!

Looking at No. 21 of the Spurs, Wang Zelin couldn't help feeling emotional: If Jordan is a well-deserved old hooligan in the 90s, then Duncan is definitely an old hooligan in the 21st century.

Who would have thought that the Spurs will not only enter the finals for the second time, but will also stage a "quit king addiction" drama for James next year.

The Clippers are not wronged in this wave of defeat!
……

Time passed quickly, and it was the night of May 5th.

With the Eastern Pacers knocking out the Knicks and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals to meet the Heat, the two final opponents in the East and West have been freshly released.

此役，步行者队的兰斯史蒂文森成为奇兵，全场19投9中，揽下25分10篮板，加上保罗乔治的23分和米国“高圆圆”的21分12篮板和5个盖帽，步行者全队三人得分上20，进而主场106:94战胜尼克斯队以4:2的总比分摸到了东决地板。

In the last game of the season, the newly promoted scoring champion Carmelo Anthony scored 39 points and 7 rebounds. Except for a slight criticism of only 4 points in the fourth quarter, the overall performance was above the standard.

Had it not been for boxing champion Tyson Chandler who was out early with six fouls in the fourth quarter and only scored 2 points, the two sides might have a tiebreaker.

In this regard, the Miami crowd watching the game will be quite sorry.

But this is already a thing of the past. The media and fans will focus all their enthusiasm on the next Eastern and Western finals.

On the second day after the four teams from the East and the West came out, ESPN was doing things as usual. The topic of the latest "round table meeting" was about the ownership of the finals matchup teams.

Judging from the record of regular season matches.

In the East, the Heat are on the absolute side.

Don't look at the fact that the outside world is touting the Pacers' "New Big Three", and judging from the regular season record, the Pacers are 2:1 to the Heat, and the former is clearly dominant...but it still can't compare to the impact of the Heat's 27-game winning streak in the regular season.

Not long ago, the head of the Heat, LeBron James, was almost unanimously elected as the MVP of the regular season, which brought the morale of the Heat to a new peak.

It's no wonder that the outside world is generally not very optimistic about the young Pacers.

On the western side, at the "round table meeting", experts and journalists had a rare heated discussion.

That's right, the subject of the discussion was about Wang Zelin.

A rookie who has just entered the league to play the fifth position, although there are occasional games that are slightly stretched, but overall, people have to admit that this young man once beat all the active opponents at the center position.

Blow up the newly promoted All-Star center Marc Gasol!
Destroy the first defense + Lianzhuang DPOY winner boxing champion Tyson Chandler!
It even beat Dwight Howard, the recognized No. [-] center in active service!

In the playoffs, his performance did not decrease but increased.

Not only has the average data maintained at 20 points + 10 rebounds per game, but he has also contributed immortal data in a single game many times...

What the hell does he think of his opponent as a human being?

There are such ruthless people on the big stage of the NBA, and it has to be traced back to Tim Duncan as a rookie in the last century.

Today, even if Duncan retires in situ, he is recognized by the outside world as the number one player in NBA history, and his status cannot be shaken.

Therefore, although ESPN has always been reluctant to see Wang Zelin, this does not prevent ESPN experts from bursting out words like "OMG" from time to time.

No way, he is incredible!
This is a full body similar to Duncan.

……

Domestic fans are also talking about Wang Zelin's performance in the playoffs:

"The floor of the Western Conference Finals! That's a height that Dayao never touched!"

"I always feel that King's stamina is better than the regular season, no, it is more than one grade higher than the first round of the series. Is this the scary thing about geniuses?"

"That's necessary. It was said before that Dayao is a once-in-50-year genius in the blue circle of the Celestial Dynasty, so the king is definitely at the level of once in 100 years..."

"I feel that the king has stabilized for a while. After counting the laps, I really can't find a player who performed better than him in the fifth position."

"Okay, stop arguing. The NBA's official Weibo has released the latest news. The list of the best team of the year will be announced on the 23rd, and everything will be clear by then."

"Ah, wouldn't it be a long time to wait for the Spurs and the Trail Blazers to finish the first two games!"

"I hope that the king will continue to work hard and beat Daidai!"

……

fanaticism!

When Wang Zelin stepped into the Western Conference Finals as one of the core players of the Blazers, the domestic reports were overwhelming and never stopped. Countless "Ten Years" and "20 Years" have sprung up like mushrooms.

Such a situation is extremely popular in the country.

After 19 o'clock in the evening on the 12th, the Blazers management decided to pre-sell the home game tickets for Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference Finals in advance, and it was destined that Portland would become a Chinese city in the next period of time.

With the explosive development of network technology, in 13, the NBA ticket purchase method has changed from the previous telephone ticket purchase to a more convenient online ticket purchase.

In terms of Internet penetration rate and population, no country in the world can compare with China.

Just like that sentence: As long as there are people living, there must be Tianchao Post!
As long as there are people living in the country, the network will be covered as much as possible.

Of the 19980 seats that the Rose Garden Arena can accommodate, more than 18000 seats are used for sales, 75% of which are online sales, and the remaining 25% are reserved for local fans.

However, when it came time to snatch tickets, the advantage of a large number of people was fully demonstrated again, and nearly half of the tickets sold online were snatched by domestic fans!

Many of the remaining half were snatched by other Asian countries, and the fans in the United States gained very little...

More than that, the number of votes at home for the Spurs is hard to escape.

Although not as frantic as the Trail Blazers at home, Wang Zelin can definitely see that touch of Dongfanghong in the AT&T Arena, maybe the area is not small.

Away to home?
It is not impossible.

In the past few days, especially the day before the opening game of the Western Conference finals, San Antonio has poured in a large number of faces from China and some Asian countries, including some fans who did not get tickets, and came to San Antonio from a long distance...

The arrival of a large number of foreign fans caught the Antonio city government completely by surprise.

The game hasn't started yet.

Transportation, accommodation, food and other issues have become a big problem for the San Antonio city government.

But thinking of the various economic incomes brought about by this accident, senior government officials can only feel pain and happiness.

Seeing this scene reminded the city of Portland, which has never experienced the baptism of fanaticism of Chinese fans, that the city hall and the Oregon State Council had a big discussion on solutions to the various problems in San Antonio overnight.

This is true for away games, but it is still worth it for home games!
……

On the night of the 19th, after the training ended, Wang Zelin lay alone on the lawn outside, looking up at the starry sky in Portland.

Being able to reach the Western Conference Finals has already exceeded the team's pre-season expectations, and also exceeded the three-year plan he had previously set.

It should be noted that at the beginning of the season, the team's plan was to hone new players and find a new core for team building, while their own ambition was to experience the taste of the playoffs in their rookie year.

But the reality is often more absurd than people expected.

After a short period of confusion, Wang Zelin touched the basketball in his hand, got up, and went back to his room to rest.

The sky is big, the sleep is the biggest!
Now that he has reached the Western Conference Finals, he will definitely fight with his teammates to prove that this season has not been in vain.

　Shock! ! !
　　An author who cheated on the street and was resurrected after several days of feigning death?
　　Is this a distortion of human nature, or a loss of morality?

　　Let's see today...

　　well, let's get back to business.

　　There was bad news at home a few days ago, my uncle fell from the third floor of his house, and he just went there.

　　The death of a relative happened to me in the second year of junior high school. It was my grandma who died.

　　But to be honest, since my grandma divorced my grandpa when my father was 11 years old and remarried to another place, my relationship with my grandma is not as close as that of my cousin in the village.

　　What I saw and heard for a few days after returning home made me sigh: life, what a fucking fuck!

　　I'm better, after all, I'm a young man, and I'm busy when I go back to school, and the pain in my heart can be gradually relieved. I only feel sorry for my second grandfather, who is nearly [-] years old. He should have enjoyed the family happiness of his children and grandchildren, but he was sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man. The youngest son actually left him early. In fact, he was the one who suffered the most.

　　Forget it, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to talk about this with everyone. After thinking about it again and again, when I actually typed out this word, I found that I felt a little relieved, so I decided to post it.

　　In life, Jin Zai is actually an introverted person, not good at talking, and I prefer to express some emotions in words.

　　Having grown up so much, it is the first time to see off relatives in a real sense. I dare not say how much I have grown up, but I still feel a lot of emotions in my heart.

　　I don’t know if I will still write novels when I enter the society in the future, but I will finish writing this book, which will bring an end to my previous efforts; at the same time, I am no longer going to make any guarantees to everyone, it is all false.

　　Cherish what you have at the moment!
