Chapter 56 Grand Champion

On June 6, the second game of the finals started. Pistons scoring leader Richard Hamilton was completely lost in this game. He made 12 shots, only hit five goals and scored 15 points.

Tayshaun Prince was even less efficient, making 3 of [-] shots and only scoring a poor [-] points.

Under Yao Ming's instigation, Big Ben hit double figures again in this game, and his shooting percentage was 40%, which was still not enough.

In this game, the Rockets defended very hard. Although the scoring efficiency of the role players was very low today, they won the game with their own defense. In the end, the Rockets beat the Pistons by 103 points 74:29!
After the game, the media looked down on the Pistons one-sidedly, thinking that there was a problem with their defense and that they could not limit the scoring of the Rockets' Big Three. This is the biggest problem they need to solve at present.

Especially late, his three-point shooting percentage in these two games combined was only 54%, but this was still fatal to the Pistons. Appears to be extremely passive when falling behind.

Yao Ming's strength has also been affirmed. After two games, he was extremely efficient and unstoppable against the league's best defensive player.

Some fans on the Internet have begun to preach that Ben Wallace's defense is seriously overrated, and he is just a system player.

In addition to being overrated on the defensive end, he is almost completely useless on the offensive end. The Rockets often empty it completely, causing the Pistons to play four players against five players on the offensive end for a long time. It is difficult not to lose.

On June 6, the battlefield moved to the Toyota Center in Houston, where the Pistons played a beautiful game.

Especially Ben Wallace, today he shot 70% from the field, scored 15 points and 11 rebounds. Hamilton also returned to normal, scoring 47 points with a 25% shooting percentage, providing the team with a strong fire support.

However, this is of no use. They couldn't restrain the faults of the Rockets' Big Three, which were fully exposed in this game.

In the first two games, Yao Ming was overwhelming inside the Pistons. Larry Brown finally made up his mind that no matter how the Rockets shot outside, they would double-team Yao Ming.

As a result, Yao Ming's scoring was indeed restricted today, but he made crazy late shots.

He can often get open shots from outside the three-point line, which is almost the same as sending points for being late.

In the end, he was late and scored 17 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, scored 42 points super efficiently, and raised the finals three-pointer record to an unsurpassable level.

However, the birth of this record has long been expected by the media.

After all, late shots only shoot three-pointers, and the shooting percentage is super high. If he is allowed to shoot 20-30 times a game like some people, the three-pointer record is not a problem for him at all.

Late performed well on the perimeter, and McGrady was also driven. In this game, he scored a triple-double again, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

With a total score of 0:3 behind, the Pistons were all up and down.

In the post-match interview, Larry Brown was no longer stubborn, admitting that he had made a major decision-making error in his defensive strategy, and believed that the late three-pointer was the biggest threat to the Pistons.

Ben Wallace had a black face throughout the press conference. When the media asked him how he felt about the matchup with Yao Ming, Ben Wallace almost left the meeting.

Now no one is optimistic about the Pistons anymore. Even the local media in Detroit believe that the Rockets' Big Three are too strong, and the Pistons are already very passive. I hope that the Pistons players can work hard not to be swept away.

The Pistons made a lot of defensive moves in the fourth game. It can be seen that they really don't want to be swept.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Rockets had a big lead, and Ben Wallace was in a hurry. After Yao Ming completed the dunk, Big Ben angrily pushed Yao Ming.

Unprepared, Yao Ming was pushed and staggered, tripped over Rasheed Wallace, and the two rolled together.

Roaring Tianzun is not a good-tempered person, and he just punches when he turns over and gets up.

As a result, Late had rushed over, blocked in front of Yao Ming, blocked with his left arm, and pushed Rasheed Wallace aside.

The Piston players immediately surrounded him, but seeing that Late had already put on a stance, he suddenly remembered that this guy was also a fierce man, so he didn't dare to continue.

The referee rushed up immediately and sent Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Yao Ming and late together.

Losing the two most important inside cores, the Pistons players have no fighting spirit, while the Rockets have a relaxed atmosphere. Scott Padgett and David Wesley, who replaced Yao Ming and came late, are in excellent condition. have.

In the end, the Pistons lost and lost, and the Rockets swept the Pistons to win the championship.

Yao Ming was standing at the entrance of the player tunnel, and when the game ended, he rushed out immediately, excited like a child, hugging every player.

McGrady's eyes were full of tears, and he was so excited that he hugged Yao Ming tightly in the end, the two of them hugged each other and cried.

Being late as the third giant of the Rockets was also very excited, but he didn't show it clearly, he just shook hands with the Pistons players in the past.

Billups is very personable, congratulations for winning the championship late.

Ben Wallace didn't have a good face, he snorted coldly and refused to respond to being late.

After a brief celebration, president David Stern smiled and awarded the championship trophy to the Rockets.

The Rockets looked at each other and finally pushed Yao Ming out to accept the trophy.

Yao Ming has a high emotional intelligence. After celebrating with the trophy, he passed the trophy to McGrady.

In the end, every player of the Rockets held the trophy with their own hands, leaving the most brilliant picture of their careers.

There is almost no suspense in the selection of FMVP. Although McGrady performed well in the finals, Yao Ming used his dominance at the basket and strong defense to get quite luxurious statistics.

Yao Ming averaged 28.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. He dominated the game both offensively and defensively.

The funny thing is, before this, almost no one thought that Yao Ming's defense was very strong. Everyone only saw his weakness of slow movement, but did not see his deterrence at the basket.

After the baptism of the finals, no one dares to ignore Yao Ming's defense now.

Bill Russell handed the FMVP trophy to Yao Ming, and praised with a smile: "Yao, your performance is great, you are a well-deserved FMVP!"

Holding the trophy, Yao Ming cried again.

At the beginning of this season's regular season, the Rockets' record is not very good. McGrady has just transferred over and has almost no cooperation with Yao Ming. The two play their own games.

The media didn't care about this at all, they just criticized Yao Ming for growing too slowly to lead the Rockets to win.

How much heartache there is is not enough for outsiders.

Especially for a period of time in the middle, McGrady's state was extremely poor, but his style of play was very selfish. The two even almost had a quarrel, but in the end they won the championship together!
After crying for a while, Yao Ming grabbed McGrady and asked him to grab the FMVP trophy with him: "Tracey, you also have a share of this FMVP."

McGrady was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and bumped fists heavily with Yao Ming: "No! Yao, your performance in the finals this time was great, and it should be yours. But I hope that next season, this trophy will belong to me. !"

Then the players entered the locker room and celebrated again. Several players couldn't hold back their tears.

Van Gundy touched his bald forehead, with an expression on his face as if he was still in a dream.

That night, Houston held a championship parade celebration, and the whole of Houston became a sea of ​​joy.

Finals FMVP Yao Ming has become the most successful representative of the Chinese in the United States.

The championship celebration lasted for three days before Houston gradually calmed down.

Yao Ming contacted late and said that after a few days of rest, he will return to China to participate in the Asian Championships.

Late knew what he was thinking, but he just told him not to force himself, and he didn't have to fight so hard in Asian-level competitions.

Yao Ming was going back to China, and Dazhi, who couldn't return to China, couldn't continue to stay at Yao Ming's house for training, so he ran to find him and was late.

After rigorous training, the muscles of Dazhi's body became stronger.

"Brother Big Zhi, it seems that you have trained very hard, and the results are not bad."

Wang Zhizhi had an unlovable expression on his face: "If you don't work hard, you can't do it. In fact, during this period of time, I feel that I am almost like a robot. When to sleep, when to eat, and how much to eat are all stipulated to death. But being able to clearly feel the progress in myself has given me motivation."

"No matter what you do, you have to work hard to gain something. There is never a shortage of supermen in the NBA. Our physical fitness is indeed not as good as them. This is an undeniable fact, so we can only use more efforts to make ourselves stand. Stand firm."

Wang Zhizhi expressed disbelief: "You are so smart, do you want to exercise like me?"

Late shook his head: "Of course I have to practice, but my situation is more complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. In short, I know how to use my own advantages better."

After all, he was late and changed the subject: "There are still 20 days left, and the summer league will start. Have you contacted the team yet?"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhizhi seemed particularly disappointed.

"Not yet, I've contacted almost all the teams, but they don't seem to be interested in me."

Late sighed: "If you don't think Cleveland is a small city, I can help you contact the Cavaliers."

"This is not good, I have already troubled you so much." Wang Zhizhi was a little embarrassed.

Late waved his hand: "We are in a foreign country, of course we have to help each other, not to mention that James is a smart man, and he is quite smooth, so it shouldn't be troublesome."

Although James is only a second-year rookie, he is already the undoubted leader of the Cavaliers.

His talent is at the top level in history, especially when he breaks through, he rushes like a tank, and it takes a certain amount of courage to defend him.

When he was late to play the Cavaliers away, James secretly solicited him and exchanged phone numbers with each other. Now is the time to use him.
