Chapter 314 The Finale
The Lakers think that they will have the last laugh in this series. Phil Jackson’s reason is very simple. Compared with the aging Spurs, the Lakers are undoubtedly more dynamic. If the two teams decide the winner in the first five games, Then they and the Spurs are [-]-[-], but if the Lakers and the Spurs reach the tiebreaker, how much fuel is left in the GDP's fuel tank?

Popovich does not agree with this point of view. They think that the later the playoffs, although physical strength is very important, it is not the decisive factor. Whoever has a better system and the players there have better experience is the key to victory. Factors, he also secretly ridiculed that Zen master would only teach superstars, whether it is the Bulls’ dynasty period or the Lakers’ OK combination, only the Zen master superstars can achieve results. In the end, it was only after Kupchak forcibly robbed Gasol that he got some time to improve.

Before the game, the coaches of the two teams fought a lot of words, but they really didn't want to meet their opponents in the second round of the Western Conference, because they knew in their hearts that even if they fought to the death in the second round, so what?Their real target this year should be the Rockets.

These two teams are the teams that have made up shots against the Rockets this summer, but who knows that God's will trick people, and neither of the two teams in the last two teams can meet the Rockets in the first few rounds of the playoffs. On the contrary, it was very interesting to challenge the Rockets on the stage of the Western Conference finals after being exhausted.

But even if they are unwilling, they still have to decide a winner. The Spurs and the Lakers dedicated an epic battle to the fans in the tiebreaker. Kobe scored 46 points and 11 rebounds in a crazy way. Shi Fu Duncan did not give up too much. Whether facing his old college rivals Camby or Gasol, Shi Fu always used his steady hook to keep the Spurs alive. In the last 2.6 seconds of regular time At that time, the Spurs trailed by three points, and the Lakers almost used all the manpower on the court to guard Parker, Jamison, Ginobili, Matt Bonner, these good players who could drop three points, but who knew that Shi Fu was here again. Standing up for a moment, he stared at his sister-in-law's drifting three-pointer from the outside and then took the Spurs out of the ghost gate, making the fans of the Staples Arena silent for a while.

But in overtime, as Phil Jackson predicted before the game, those old guys on the Spurs really had no energy.

Duncan only got 6 minutes of rest time in the whole game. Besides him, Jamison got 6 minutes, Ginobili got 4 minutes, and Parker, who was a little younger and stronger, even played the whole game. He will be rotated, but he really has no one to replace, unless he directly announces that he will give up the chance of promotion. At this moment, the old man suddenly misses the Rockets' Totoro very much. This little guy's physical strength is comparable to that of the little emperor in the east. Neoneng has one more core with sufficient physical strength, and his rotation art can be reflected. He is 100% sure that he can win the Lakers in the tie-breaker. Or from another perspective, with Totoro in the Spurs, he will not fight the Lakers at all. Seven games.

Others have always said that Popovich has a good eye for people and is good at discovering the potential of players, but people always make mistakes. You must know that Totoro was the pinnacle when he debuted. Last year, even the Spurs had to compete with the Rockets Fighting Totoro, the Spurs are not without bargaining chips to trade the No. 20 pick. Can the combination of Ginobili + Parker exchange for a bunch of garbage contracts from the Bulls and not get a No. 10 pick?If he really dared to fight at that time, maybe he could continue the Spurs' dynasty in the [-]th century for another [-] years!

But now it’s useless to be Zhuge Liang after the fact. The old man knew that his team was over from the first ball of overtime when Shi Buddha hit the board with a hook from a familiar position. The three-pointer just now took away all of Duncan’s strength. In the end, the Lakers took away the Spurs with a 10-0 overtime score, and successfully joined the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

However, this time the Lakers in the Western Conference finals are just a role to give away. From the first game as a guest at the Toyota Center, the Rockets beat the opponent by 30 points and set the tone for this round of the series.

If the Lakers are healthy, the outside world is not optimistic that they can beat the Rockets, but the two teams are at least 37 open. Experts believe that the Rockets will have to fight the Lakers for at least 6 games to advance to the finals.

But now?In another round of the series against the Spurs, Kobe suffered a contusion of his pinkie, Gasol suffered a strained back, and Kaman was reimbursed for the season due to a strained groin. Almost all Lakers players suffered from injuries except for exhaustion from fighting. There is a gap, how can they compete with the Rockets who are waiting for work?

The Lakers were defeated by four cities in a row and lost the series. This year, the Rockets officially announced that the rebuilding of the Zijin Dynasty had failed. In the three years since the Spaniard was attracted, the Lakers only made it to the Finals once and twice. The Western Conference Finals, this is a remarkable achievement in the eyes of other teams, but if you compare the salary space of the Lakers, you will know that this goal is far from enough for the Lakers.

Kobe and Gasol on the team have reached their contract years, and both are player options. They are likely to choose to jump out of their contracts to join other teams this summer. On the other hand, those high-paid role players still have a few years of burden. The combination of Dee and Kaman also occupies 1/2 of the total salary space of a normal team. The dilemma that the Lakers may face is that next year all the stars will run away, and they will have a bunch of garbage contracts and cannot rebuild. Even if Kobe and Gasol are left to continue to bear the high luxury tax, they seem to be unable to beat the Rockets at full capacity, which is embarrassing.

On the east side, the Cavaliers finally succeeded in shopping against the Celtics. The Big Three are now not as good as the next year. In the past, Pierce could face James and form a mutual explosion, but now Pierce has completely nothing to do with LeBron. The emperor went crazy for five games, won again at the Quicken Loans Center, and dragged a group of CBA teammates to the floor of the finals with a miracle of averaging 34.5 points per game.

James is also desperate this year. The Rockets' 3.5 giants make him see no hope. Although James is still young, the peak period of an athlete is over, and he may completely fall from the altar due to an injury. The little emperor is also determined Going to find his own helper, he was fed up with the feeling of being outnumbered by two fists.

This is his last performance for Cleveland, so the emperor is crazy, but he forgot that Totoro is about to leave Houston. This year is also the record year he left for the Rockets. 34 consecutive victories and 73 wins are auxiliary materials, and Two consecutive championships are the best gift he gave to the Rockets.

In the first game, James scored 42 points, Totoro scored 43 points, and the Rockets won.

第二场比赛詹姆斯打出了32分16板13助的三双，可龙猫打出了23分11板12助11帽的史诗级总决赛四双数据，再次带着火箭主场取胜。

In the third game, James had 41 points and 11 rebounds, and Totoro had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. The Cavaliers used the strength of the whole team to prevent Totoro from going berserk. It took him 29 shots to get back 32 points. In addition, other teammates felt bad. , the little emperor defended one of his home courts.

But this is also the swan song of the little emperor. Totoro, who played his worst performance in the third game, in order to prove that he will not be restricted by the league system, he showed his life in the fourth game, fifth game and sixth game. Unlearned.

42 points, 48 ​​points, 65 points, Totoro played one of the most terrifying playoffs of its own. The average data of 46+10.8+11.1 in the entire finals is the first in history, and many people believe that this is also unprecedented. There are no comers' data, even Totoro himself feels that it is impossible for him to hit this kind of data in his future career.

There is no suspense in the selection of FMVP. Even if the Rockets have another league superstar, Chris Paul is not unconvinced. James, who failed again this time, is completely surpassed by Totoro. Having enjoyed the honor of No.1 in the league, he was completely surpassed by the latecomers. The distress in Lao Zhan's heart can be imagined.

Decades later, Totoro's name has become a legend in the streets and alleys. He won a total of 10 championships in his NBA career, and he also led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal and the world championship championship for the first time. It is conceivable Know how many fans he has around the world.

"Hey, Totoro, what are you doing? Nia is crying for her father again!"

In addition to his status as a basketball star, he is also the father of 12 children, but he is not a full-time dad who has been battered. On the contrary, he has been alone in a small room all day since he retired. His behavior made his 7 wives very strange.

No one knows what he is doing, only Totoro himself knows that he is researching the mysterious system that made him a small forward in the Hall of Fame, and he has researched a lot in the past few decades.

"I didn't expect this thing to be able to pass on skills to others, and it must be done by people from parallel worlds. Then to whom to pass on my basketball skills, I don't want a nigger or a white pig to enjoy the benefits!"

Totoro didn't answer, but instead said to himself.

Suddenly, a poor village in Oklahoma without even a name appeared in front of his eyes. A boy with the same yellow skin and black hair as himself, although his basketball talent was extremely poor but with a determined face appeared in front of him. before.

"Wait, let me see, his name is Cao Xiaochuan, a very interesting name! Since you love basketball so much, then this gift is for you, and you have to cherish it!"
