After entering the finals, the entire Spurs team breathed a sigh of relief. The Suns are really difficult to beat. Although it has been predicted in advance that the Suns may be the strongest opponent of the Spurs on the road to the championship, But it has been entangled for more than seven games, and the process is so dangerous, people really didn't expect it.

Stephen's performance in the last game officially confirmed his name. Some media called him a "playoff player" like Larry Bird. After playing in the finals, in the regular season, his performance was mediocre. Of course, this is also related to the Spurs' tactics. In the regular season, Stephen rarely played more than 10 minutes.

After returning to San Antonio, the Spurs began to wait for Houston’s challenge. In fact, the Houston Rockets had already arrived in San Antonio in advance. In comparison, the Spurs had only one day off to welcome the start of the Western Conference Finals, but the Rockets had already rested for seven days. up.

At this time, no one is paying attention to the failed Phoenix Suns. Of course, there is nothing to pay attention to. The players have already started their vacations. There is nothing to pay attention to in the team's summer vacation. Team.

This time, the opponents in the Eastern and Western Conference finals have a common feature. Among the two pairs of opponents, there is an old strong team, namely the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs, while the opponents are all upstarts in the league, whether it is Cleveland The current lineup of the Cavaliers or the Houston Rockets is entering the Finals for the first time.

The new-old duel, and then whether it will form an old-old duel, or a new-new duel, no one can tell the answer to this conjecture, especially in the East, who can enter the finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons, fans vote It turned out to be comparable, and in the ESPN program, among the six experts invited, three were optimistic about the Detroit Pistons and three were optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers.

On the west side, in the fan voting, the Spurs lead the Houston Rockets 71-29 by a large margin. In the same commentary program, only one of the six experts chose to support the Rockets. It's too good to see the strength of the Rockets, although they have a physical advantage.

During the meeting between Stephen and Yao Ming, Yao Ming vowed to Stephen that he would use his strength to prove to those who look down on the Rockets that this season's Rockets are definitely not the previous Rockets. He curled his lips, not to mention, Stephen really looked down on the strength of the Rockets.

Although Yao Ming's strength has increased greatly now, he looks as excited as if he took an aphrodisiac. Of course, no aphrodisiac can make people excited for half a season, but the other positions of the Rockets can't compete with the Spurs at all. than, including McGrady.

Stephen is very confident in defending McGrady. As for the other players of the Rockets, it can be seen from their game against the Jazz that even the Jazz cannot withstand the defensive pressure, let alone the Spurs. Naturally, Stephen He won't reveal to Yao Ming that Vitch has decided to play a defensive game against the Houston Rockets.

Although the inside strength of the Spurs has declined this season, but with whom to compare points, the Rockets teamed up with Yao Ming, an undrafted rookie named Hayes, who is less than 26 meters tall and [-] meters tall. Yao Ming's cooperation made people look weird.

And their backup insiders are the league's well-known two-old combination, one is 33-year-old Juwan Howard, and the other is Mutombo, who is 10 years old on paper, but his actual age is much older than this number. He is old and strong, but after all, he is old and can only maintain an efficient performance for about [-] minutes. It is simply a great risk for the Rockets to entrust their own substitute on such an old player.

If Yao Ming is injured and cannot play, can Mutombo play the whole game or most of the game? Of course, the Rockets have encountered this situation this season. They rely on Hayes, Juwan Howard, The three of Mutombo solved this problem, but this is not a long-term solution after all.

Staying in a team like the Spurs, Stephen's standard requirements for the substitutes are naturally much stricter. This season, the strength of the Spurs' substitutes has declined. If it were changed to last season, the Spurs' inside substitutes would be better than most players in the league. I didn't suffer much when I was in the team.

And the Rockets' outside lineup is not very reliable, not to mention McGrady's body, Alston and Sean Battier are both in good health, but lack of ability, especially the ability on the offensive end, and the Rockets Letting a player of Hyde's level play the sixth man made Stephen wonder whether to say that the Rockets have no ambitions or that Hyde is lucky.

In general, Stephen felt that the Rockets deserved to be a well-known stingy team in the league. The players they signed were not those old players who were out of shape, or those players who were not wanted. Hayes was one of the best in the league with the lowest basic salary in the league. The cooperation of the center forward, this is how to say it.

And the Rockets are also a bit out of luck. The two most important reinforcements this season have not been effective. Spanoulis cannot adapt to the environment and the game here. At the same time, his technical characteristics cannot be played by the Rockets. Wells was too lazy to play with a low salary, seeing that the Rockets' $500 million was in vain.

Of course, in Stephen’s opinion, the main reason is that the Rockets are greedy for petty gains. For a player like Wells, who dares to sign rashly, just say it’s less than 800 million. You want him to give you an annual salary of 250 million. Play hard, how is it possible.

So it's not that Stephen underestimated Yao Ming, but that with Yao Ming's strength, being in the Rockets is a waste. It can't be said that the Rockets don't pay attention to him, and it can't be said that the Rockets are stingy. After all, not everyone can be like him. **Vich has such a good vision, that is, he can sign useful players without spending too much money. People's hearts are broken, and I want Yao Ming to find out about my own tone. If Stephen is killed, Stephen will not go to such a team.

Stephen is a little fed up with the Spurs. The team is not willing to spend money. There are several bosses on it. It’s okay to go to the Rockets Yao Ming. What about McGrady, and with the salary of the two of them , How much salary space is left for myself.

With McGrady's high salary, it was hard to find a pick-up player all over the league, so the Rockets at the time took a gamble to replace him, not to mention several useful players, and took over. There are so many rubbish contracts, so Stephen refused without hesitation, and advised Yao Ming to leave the Rockets as soon as possible if he has the opportunity. How about the two of us find a team to create a big scene together?

Yao Ming shook his head. He had just signed a maximum-salary contract and it was only the first year. It would be so easy to leave. But then he thought again, and asked Stephen if he was interested in playing for the national team with him. Stephen saw Looking at Yao Ming, he didn't take up this topic. This summer, Stephen still has to settle his own contract issues, so he would be interested in traveling so far to play those meaningless games.

Generally speaking, the communication between the two of them failed to achieve their goals, but it played a role in promoting the relationship between the two. After learning that Stephen really did not have the intention to go to the Rockets, Yao Ming curiously asked Stephen where he was planning to go. Stephen shook his head blankly. It was also difficult for him to make a decision. It would be up to the time to see the situation and take one step at a time.

Stephen doesn't know which team will pursue him at that time. Although based on his own performance, there will be many suitors at that time, but it is difficult to say which team is specific. At present, only the Rockets have expressed this meaning, and The possibility of disturbing the morale of the army has not been ruled out.

Now compared to Yao Ming and Stephen, or in terms of commercial value and popularity, Stephen is not as good as Yao Ming, but on the court, Stephen's performance is much better than Yao Ming. Of course, the two are in different positions, so it can't be so Comparison, but it can be seen from the fact that Stephen has broken a huge number of league records.

But it's a bit early to discuss this topic now, because this season is not over yet. Whether the Spurs beat the Rockets or the Rockets beat the Spurs, they still have to stand on the highest stage to win the championship. There is a championship ring, but for this championship, I still have the heart to win it, and I will never be polite just because the opponent is Yao Ming.

Of course, Yao Ming will not be humble just because his opponent is Stephen. He is also very eager for the honor on the court. Unlike other Chinese players who entered the league, he came in with the title of champion. Entering the league has attracted great attention. His fans are not only in China, but there are a large number of fans all over the world.

The Eastern Conference finals started first. At the Palace of Auburn Hills, the home of the Pistons, the two teams fought a defensive battle. Although LeBron James scored a quasi-triple-double, under the strict defense of the Pistons, he only scored 76-79. One rebound and nine assists, can be said to be the most pitiful quasi-triple double, and finally lost the game [-] to [-].

On the second day, it was the match day between the Spurs and the Rockets, the AT&T Center Arena was still packed, and at the beginning of the game, Stephen showed good form, scoring six points in three consecutive shots, But the Rockets were not bad either. Yao Ming made three shots and hit two rebounds. The missed one caused Oberto to foul. He made two free throws and also scored six points.
