Chapter 657 The Arrival of the Finals

On the 22th, the Western Conference Finals G1 match day.

Trail Blazers: Duncan, Raheem, Darius Mikes, Derek Anderson, Payton

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Kenyon Martin, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, Jason Williams
As a result, without Randolph's Blazers, when Duncan was targeted by Lao Wang, there was really no splash, 101:86, lost the G1 game without any suspense, and the audience did not lead once.

Payton is also old. He played 33 minutes and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, which couldn't help Duncan.

Under the full defense of Lao Wang, Duncan made 18 of 7 shots and a shooting percentage of only 38.9%. In addition, he made 5 of 3 free throws and scored 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Lao Wang played 40 minutes, made 21 of 14 shots, 66.6% shooting, 14 of 12 free throws, scored 40 points and 15 rebounds, and led the team to win the G1 game.

The next day, ESPN adjusted its predictions for the Western Conference finals. The Suns' chances of winning increased to 70%, while the Trail Blazers dropped to 30%.

That night, the Eastern Conference G1 game between the Nets and the Pistons started.

Lao Wang booked a bar in the hotel and watched the game with his teammates. He also called Kobe Barkley and his teammates, as well as a group of wives from his teammates. There were five or sixty people in total, including seven or eight children.

"brush!"

At the beginning, the Nets attacked, and Dayao pulled out. Ben couldn't defend at all. He tried to shoot a three-pointer and hit the first goal.

Old Wang nodded and said, "That's right, as long as you have a good grip, Rasheed Wallace won't be able to double-team if you pull it outside, and the height of the others will be a bit lower."

Barkley said with a smile: "This is Yao's advantage. He can pull out. How can Ben's height prevent him? But O'Neal can't pull out, so he can only be forced to be double-teamed by double Wallace inside."

The glider laughed and said, "Yao pulls out, and the trolls can only come out to defend. Ben's height is seriously not enough, and Ben can defend from the low position.

But if the trolls are allowed to defend Yao, then Yao doesn't need to be pulled out at all. He can beat the trolls in the low post, and the trolls can't stand him at all.

So as long as he has a good handle and can hit the ball when he pulls it out, the Pistons will be in trouble. "

Magic Johnson said: "If the Nets want to win, Yao's shooting must be good. His current state is even better than O'Neal. The Sharks are old."

Lao Wang said: "Even if you don't pull it out, Dayao will shoot from the low post. His turnaround shot, it's hard to guard against him when he is double-teamed by Da Ben and the sprayer, so it depends on how he can play himself.

Ben and the trolls played O'Neal. In fact, O'Neal's efficiency was very high, but he didn't take enough shots. According to media data, in the second round of seven games, he took a total of 103 shots, averaging less than 15 shots per game. Ben and the trolls mainly restricted his shots.

Dayao is actually more difficult to guard, because his offense can cover half the court, and the Pistons can't concentrate their defensive power to double-team him.

It is also difficult for the Pistons to limit his shots, because as long as he pulls out and is not fixed in the low position, it is difficult to go forward. "

"Old K, who do you think will enter the finals?" White Chocolate asked.

"ESPN said five-five, then five-five, everyone has a chance." Lao Wang said with a smile.

In the end, the Pistons won the game.

Dayao's touch didn't last long. He made 19 of 9 shots and a 47.4% shooting rate, which was not enough to lead the team to beat the Pistons at home.

On the 24th, the Western Conference Finals G2 battle.

In this game, Lao Wang still devoted all his efforts to defending. Duncan made 15 of 4 shots, and his standard was greatly lost. His shooting percentage was only a poor 26.7%.

Lao Wang scored 32 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks, and led the Suns to win the G2 game. The advantage of the series is in hand, and the finals are just around the corner.

On the second day, the Eastern Conference Finals G2 game day.

The Suns returned to Phoenix that day. In the evening, Pharaoh invited a group of friends to his home to watch the Eastern Conference Finals G2 game together.

Before the game, he couldn't help but make a phone call to Yao Zhuangzhuang. After the call, he said, "Dayao, if you can't beat the Pistons this time, Kobe said you are not qualified to join forces with him. He is going to find another thigh."

"what?"

Kobe sitting next to him and Dayao on the other end of the phone were stunned at the same time.

"Old K, don't talk nonsense!"

Kobe was a little pissed off, when did I say that?And I asked Dayao to help me, not me hugging his thigh.

"Ha ha……"

"Kobe, who is whose thigh?"

"Yao, come to the Lakers, there will be an extra pendant on your thigh."

Barkley and the magician Lei Gong were already laughing like crazy, and they all started yelling.

Stimulated by Lao Wang, Dayao broke out. He made 24 of 15 shots and a 62.5% shooting rate. He made 6 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 4 free throws. He scored 37 points efficiently.

After the whole game, he kept pulling out from the low post, playing pick-and-roll tactics with Vince Carter and Kidd on the wing or in the high post, making it difficult for the Pistons to defend.

On the 26th, the Suns beat the Blazers three times and won the Western Conference Finals.

Lao Wang still defended Duncan with all his strength, and Duncan made 17 of 6 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 35.3%.

After the game, Magic Johnson was interviewed at the scene and said: "Duncan was strangled at this point, and Anderson's efficiency on the outside was also very low. The Blazers' offensive tactics could not be launched. Basically, there was no hope of getting back. I can only beg not to be swept."

In an interview, Barkley said very excitedly: "I think the Suns should play their best in the G4 game and try to sweep the Trail Blazers.

In this way, the Suns entered the finals with a majestic three-round sweep in the Western Conference Finals. Whether it is the Pistons or the Nets, it is impossible to be the opponent of Old K. I even hope that the Suns can replicate the feat of 95 and complete the championship with an incredible record of four sweeps. "

"This damned flying pig!"

Hearing this sentence, Jordan in front of the TV couldn't help cursing.

In 95, wasn't the Suns the Bulls who swept him in the finals?Old K even stepped on him to complete the feat of 50 points in the finals, making him an eternal background board.

On the 27th, the Eastern Conference Finals G3 battle.

The Nets played at home, and the Big Three jointly contributed 68 points to win the game in one go.

Although the Pistons also played very good defense, they were not good on the offensive end. The overall shooting percentage was only 37.2%, while the Nets reached 45.5%.

On the second day, on the 28th, the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals.

In order to avoid being swept, Duncan tried his best, but still couldn't resist Lao Wang, and in the 6th minute of the third quarter, after being knocked to the ground by Lao Wang's back arch with an iron mountain, Duncan suffered a foot injury.

With Duncan off the field, the game completely lost suspense, and the Suns completed their sweep of the Trail Blazers.

So far, the Suns have achieved a three-round sweep in the playoffs, and reached the finals with their heads held high with an invincible attitude.

老王在三轮系列赛中，场均41.5分钟，场均轰下38分15.8篮板7.1助攻1.6抢断5.2盖帽1.9失误3.2犯规的强悍数据。

"Tim, what's the matter with your injury?" After the game, he paused by the Blazers' bench.

Duncan's face was a little ugly, and the team doctor who examined his injury said, "Old K, Tim has shown signs of plantar fasciitis since he entered the playoffs, which is very troublesome."

Lao Wang shook his head. He knew this kind of injury. The killer of athletes, Duncan's weight gain during the offseason should be the key cause of the disease.

"Take a good rest, you have been suffering from floor flow for a long time, I believe this injury will not affect you." He patted Duncan's head and encouraged him.

"Okay." Duncan nodded helplessly.

……

"Old K's outstanding performance is the only guarantee for the Suns to complete a three-round sweep." Miami Daily.

"Old K can lead a group of role players to play such an incredible record at the age of 32. He really deserves to be the number one active player in NBA history." The Los Angeles Daily reported.

"Old K has been at his peak for ten years, even Tim Duncan is dwarfed by comparison. The chances of the Suns defending the championship have exploded!" Washington Post.

"When the sun is shining, the Sun King's light still envelopes the alliance!" Phoenix Daily.

The Suns achieved such an impressive record in the playoffs, which naturally brought praise from the media.

The Eastern Conference finals are not yet over, and the series has only reached [-]-[-]. ESPN actually announced the predicted probability of winning the championship.

But only the Suns' championship probability is given, neither the Pistons nor the Nets, and the Suns' championship probability is as high as 90%.

In other words, ESPN believes that no matter who the Nets or the Pistons reach the finals, there is only a 10% chance of winning the championship, and they will become the Suns' defeat.

On the 29th, in the G4 game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons defeated the Nets in the away game, and the two sides tied for two.

On the 30th, ESPN once again adjusted the Suns' chances of winning the championship, increasing it from 90% to 92%.

On the 31st, the Pistons returned to the home court and made persistent efforts to win the G5 game and get the Eastern Conference Finals spot.

The time has entered June, and on the 2nd, the Nets returned to their home court to show off their power and beat the Pistons. The two sides tied for three and will have a tiebreaker.

Both teams reached the tie-breaker in the second round, and now they are playing the tie-breaker again. Almost all media agree with ESPN's prediction that no matter who makes it to the Finals, these two exhausted teams will fall at the feet of the Suns.

After the Western Conference Finals, the Suns rested for three days and resumed training on the [-]st.

On the 3rd, ESPN adjusted the probability of winning again, and the Suns' probability of winning the championship increased from 92% to 95%.

On the 4th, the Palace of Auburn Hills, the game day of the Eastern Conference finals G7 game.

Two days ago, Lao Wang was planning to wait for the Eastern Conference finals to be played, and to hold a party at home. He invited his friends in Phoenix to gather together, and it was set on the 6th.

The finals will start on the 7th, and the Suns will have a rest on the [-]th. Many friends will come to Phoenix to watch the finals on this day, and it happens to be a party.

"Husband, there are a few domestic stars who will come to watch the finals, and they have already arrived in Los Angeles, do you want to invite them?" Fei Ge asked.

"People from your company?"

"Some are, some are not. Those few are not from Feige, and their company has already greeted me, hoping to get tickets from me."

"You figure it out." He said indifferently.

"Cheng Long probably won't be here this year. 'Mythology' is in post-production and it will be released in September. Time is tight now." Brother Fei asked again.

"I called, but I'm not coming. Hey, by the way, Brother Fei, didn't Dabao say last year that he would invest in Cheng Long's movie, did he vote?"

"Voted, this little guy has taken half of Feige's share, and he is very brave with his second aunt helping him." Fei Ge said with a smile.

……

In the evening, the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker broke out. The Pistons at home played a fairly standard defense, but they played a mess on the offensive end.

The idea Larry Brown pursues is that I score less, but I will use defense to make you score less than me.

It's a pity that in this crucial tiebreaker, his idea has not been implemented.

The Nets thus defeated the Pistons and made it to the finals with difficulty.

This is also the second time Dayao has reached the finals.

Lao Wang made a congratulatory phone call after the game and said, "Dayao, congratulations, you finally won the chance to be swept by me."

"Brother, don't try to sweep us away!"

Dayao said weakly over there.

"Winning the championship in four rounds, it's so cool to think about it! Haha..." Old Wang laughed and hung up the phone.

In the visiting team's locker room at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Dayao reluctantly put down his phone, and Kidd, who was eavesdropping next to him, asked, "Yao, what did old K say?"

"He, he said he would sweep us away." Dayao smiled wryly.

Kidd's face collapsed, and he said unhappily: "That can't be done, we can't be swept away by him. We worked so hard to reach the finals, we didn't go in and be swept away by him."

"With our current state, it's very difficult to beat Old K!" Vince Carter sighed.

"Win? That's right. Not only can we not be swept away, but we also need to win against Old K." Kidd cheered up as if he had been reminded.

Looking at Kidd, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Jason, didn't you ever think about winning old K in the finals?
After the Eastern Conference finals, the finals will start on the 7th. The Suns have the home court advantage, and the home and away schedule is [-].

On the 6th, after the old Wang's family had breakfast, the number of people in the family increased and they began to prepare for the party.

He invited people from the K Times Club to help him organize the party. The club holds parties every three days. These people are veterans of party planning.

In the morning, some guests came to the house one after another. By noon, Nuo Da's villa was already full of people.

From time to time, people came to the door, and Brother Fei greeted him at the door of the villa.

"Mr. Yu, hello!"

At the door, after Zhang Ziyi got off the car, she took a carefully prepared gift, walked quickly to Brother Fei, and greeted him with a little respect.

In 99, she filmed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which officially entered the international film scene. In 00, she filmed Cheng Long's Top 2, and then Zhang Yimou's Hero and House of Flying Daggers. This year, she took over the filming of Hollywood director Spielberg's "Memoirs of Art and Skills". She is the only domestic actress besides Gong Li who can truly go international.

But she is not an artist of Feige, but in front of Feige's big boss, she knows very well that she must maintain enough respect.

And if she hopes to get better in Hollywood, here's a shortcut.

"Ziyi is here. Director Zhang called me and said you'll be here today. Go in quickly. Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu just arrived. Do you know them?" Brother Fei smiled.

"I know you. Teacher, this is a little meaning..."

"You girl, come as soon as you come, what gift do you bring? Come, me, I will take you in."

Brother Fei was about to take Zhang Ziyi in when another car came, and ball flower Monica Bellucci got out of the car.

"Monica, long time no see!"

"Yu, I feel that your time has stopped, you are as young now as when I first met you nine years ago."

The two hugged each other. Bellucci looked around and asked, "Where's old K? As the host, he's not entertaining guests at the door?"

"Don't care about him, come on, I'll take you in. Oh, I'm sorry, Monica, Ziyi..."

Just as she was about to take the two of them in, another car arrived, so she had to let the two of them go in by themselves, and she continued to stay at the door to greet the guests.

The two didn't know each other, so they chatted politely, and then they separated after entering the door.

The front yard of the villa is very large, with at least 2000 square meters of grass, and there are many plates full of food. There are probably hundreds of guests who are chatting or eating in groups.

Zhang Ziyi took a look at those people. Most of them didn't know each other, but they seemed to be people of status. Among the rest, there were quite a few first-line stars in Hollywood.

However, she was not familiar with these people, so she couldn't rush to greet them. Just now, Qiu Hua simply greeted her and left.

She had no choice but to find Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu. Although they were not very familiar, they at least knew each other.

At this time, Lao Wang was hiding with a group of friends on the tennis court in the backyard, setting up a few tables, and playing cards in broad daylight.

Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu were also there, counting the money for him.

He played blackjack. As the boss, he was the banker and won hundreds of thousands.

"No, the banker must win, we have to take turns to be the banker." After losing tens of thousands, Barkley resigned and wanted to overthrow Lao Wang's banker.

"That won't work, this is my house, who will be the manor if I don't?" Old Wang resolutely refused.

Tom Cruise laughed and said: "Old K, you are the host of the party, it's not good to win money from the guests. This is good, we don't play blackjack, how about playing stud? This way there is no need for a dealer."

This opinion was immediately agreed by everyone.

Public anger is hard to offend, so Pharaoh had no choice but to agree.

"Do you two want to play?" He asked Jiang and Wu.

"Forget it, it's a big gamble." Huang Sanshi shook his head hastily.

Jiang Wu was even more silent, he didn't have much money, and among a group of classmates, he was the worst.

Lao Wang gave Huang Sanshi a disgusted look, and said, "I seem to have seen your name on that celebrity list, Xiao Huang, don't cry poor in front of me."

"Old K, Lao Huang is No. 60, and he earned more than 360 million on the surface last year." Jiang Wu said a little enviously.

Huang Sanshi's face turned bitter, and he quickly said, "More than 300 million is only hundreds of thousands of dollars, do I dare to bet? Besides, the money is all with my wife, how much money can I have?"

"Come on, let's play a few games."

Lao Wang collected the capital and divided the winning money between the two of them.

"Can I not play?"

After looking at it, there was at least one hundred thousand US dollars, Jiang Wu hurriedly put the money in his pocket.

"Bring it if you don't want to play with it." Pharaoh stretched out his big hand.

"Forget it, let's play. I win the game?" Jiang Wu said helplessly.

"It's all yours."

"Old K, what are you doing with your capital?" Buckley shouted at this moment.

"What do you care about me, are you afraid that I won't pay you if I lose?" Lao Wang stared.

"Old K, oh oh, you don't entertain guests, and you hide here to gamble?"

A woman's voice sounded, and everyone saw that Big Mouth Roberts and her beautiful niece Emma had arrived.

"uncle."

Emma shouted when she saw the old queen.

"Emma is getting more and more beautiful. Hey, Julia." Old Wang praised the little girl.

"Old K?"

Roberts pointed to the side, signaling Lao Wang to speak aside.

"You play first."

Old Wang dropped the cards in his hand and stood up.

The three walked aside, and Roberts said: "Old K, Emma is going to enter Hollywood, and she is short of a good movie. Do you have any chance? I just talked about this with Yu Ye, and she promised to help."

"Does Emma want to make a movie?" Old Wang asked with a smile.

Roberts gave Lao Wang a white look, and said, "She has been in a movie five years ago, and sooner or later, there have been no good opportunities."

"With your contacts, there is no good chance?" Old Wang said in surprise.

"I'm just an actor, and you know the rules of Hollywood. I can't help her too much. You have too many contacts, so I can only ask you for help." Roberts said.

"Okay, after the finals, I'll hold a party in Hollywood to see if there are any opportunities." Old Wang nodded.

This favor has to be helped, Roberts has never asked him for help, and Emma is her favorite niece, and Emma has called him uncle since she was a child, so she can be regarded as his niece after all these years.

"that would be great!"

Roberts smiled happily.

"How many games?" After talking about things, Old Wang invited.

"No, I'll go to Yu and talk to her again." Roberts took Emma away after finishing speaking.

"No way, I only left for 1 minute, and you all lost?"

At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the gambling table, and Buckley laughed loudly. He hurried back to the table, and saw Lao Jiang and Lao Huang looking at him with a wry smile, and there was no money in his hand.

Barkley laughed loudly, holding a handful of Mis in his hand, and said excitedly: "Old K, I used a straight to eat the threes and two pairs of your two friends, and won them all."

"I'm X, you guys are so fast? You are bold!" Lao Wang said to Lao Huang and Lao Jiang with admiration.

"I took the three of a kind and thought it was too big. I didn't know that Barkley had a straight." Lao Jiang said with a look of misfortune.

"I was going to use two pairs to kill the Quartet and earn a few million to go home. In the end, the remaining two parties were bigger than me." Old Huang sighed.

"After the finals, I'll take you to Macau, and use your own money to gamble for three days and three nights, and let me see your courage." Old Wang said angrily.

"Don't gamble, don't gamble, absolutely don't gamble." The two quickly shook their heads.

"Old K, take out your money, let's continue playing." Barkley shouted wildly.

"I'm sorry, I won't give you a chance. You play, I'm going to entertain guests." Old K walked away as expected.

"This guy, why didn't he think about entertaining guests when he won the money just now?" Barkley said dissatisfied.

Lao Wang brought Lao Jiang Lao Huang to the front, and Yu Fei brought Zhang Ziyi to introduce him. He was not familiar with Zhang Ziyi, so he said hello and left to greet other friends.

Zhang Ziyi didn't regret seeing old K leaving, because Director Zhang told him that old K had no interest or care in the entertainment industry at all, and it was enough for her to have a good relationship with Brother Fei.

Not long after, all the teammates of the Suns arrived, including Zhu Fangyu.

"Barkley and the others are behind, you go there to play."

Lao Wang said a word, and then warned: "They are playing cards, the bet is a bit big, you don't want to participate, just take a look."

"Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhu Fangyu stayed behind.

"Go and play, I have nothing to do here. But Dayao will come over later." He said.

"That kid Yi Jianlian is homesick. He returned home after the game. What about Sun Le? He doesn't come to the finals either?" Zhu Fangyu asked.

"Xiao Le will be here tomorrow." He said.

After staying in the front yard for an hour, Dayao arrived with Kidd and Vince Carter.

The party lasted until the evening, and when I woke up, it was the day of the G1 finals.

7th, late.

The American West Arena is full of stars.
