NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 169: The Heat won the championship, and the volute was shot while lying down

The Bulls, who lost the battle of Tianwangshan, seemed to have been relieved in one breath. When they returned to their home court two days later, they could no longer show the momentum of winning the previous two home games. They lost to the Heat 91:97 and lost the sixth game. .

The final score of the Eastern Conference finals was fixed at 4:2. The Bulls were defeated by the Heat and stopped in the Eastern Conference finals.

Despite losing the game, the fans at the Bulls' home court gave the players their warmest applause.

The Bulls were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals and fight the Heat in six games, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Before the start of the regular season, who would have thought that the Bulls with this lineup could go all the way to this point?

The team that can enter the Eastern Conference Finals is basically one of the best teams in the league. After all, the results are better than the Bulls. There are only two teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences combined.

Wang Chongdong's scoring average in the final series was fixed at 36.5 points, shooting 48.8% from the field, in addition to 8.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists. His personal data performance is still explosive.

However, it was difficult for him to defeat four with two fists. With the combination of Wade, who averaged 28 points per game, and O'Neal, who averaged 22+10 points, Wang Chong's playoff journey as the team's first core force for the first time in his career came to an end.

Throughout the playoffs, Wang Chong played a total of 16 games in the three-round series. He swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in the first round, defeated the Pistons 4:2 in the second round, and then lost to the Heat 2:4 in the Eastern Conference Finals. He averaged 16 games per game. 36 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 52% from the field, 41% from the three-point range, and 92% from the free throw line. Not only did his scoring not decrease compared to the regular season, but it was higher. He also hit 180 like during the regular season. An efficient performance by the club.

In terms of performance at the statistical level alone, Wang Chong can almost be said to be the most dominant star in the entire 05-06 season, bar none.

There is nothing wrong with this. No one can compete with Wang Chong at the data level, including the two championship teams in the East and West that successfully advanced to the finals.

The Heat in the Eastern Conference reached the Finals, and the Western Conference Finals also continued to develop according to the historical process. In the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks faced the Suns who lacked Stoudemire. They had an absolute advantage in the lineup and defeated the Suns 4:2 to enter the Finals. .

As a result, the finals matchup of the 05-06 season has returned to the script of Heat vs. Mavericks. Wang Chong estimates that there is a high probability that the Heat will let two chase four, and Wade will win the championship with the help of Wade who showed his prowess in the finals. Championship trophy.

O'Neal will also win the fifth championship trophy in his career. Winning an extra championship and FMVP with the Lakers will undoubtedly elevate O'Neal's historical status again, and may even equal Duncan's historical status in the future. Struggle with each other, rather than being steadily overpowered by the other party.

Of course, in this era of Wang Chong's continuous rise, there is still a question mark as to whether Duncan can successfully win the next two championships, whether it is the championship in the 06-07 season next year or the championship in the next 13-14 season. , any one missing will have a certain impact on Duncan's historical status.

But this is inevitable. The emergence of Wang Chong is probably bad news for any star in this era, because he will take away many of their honors and achievements.

Many people are already suffering from it. James has always been under the shadow of Wang Chong in the first three years of his career. Anthony was beaten several times by Wang Chong. This season, Kobe's scoring champion was also beaten by Wang Chong. Take it away forcefully.

This is just the beginning. Next season, the overall rating will be 97. Wang Chong, who has won multiple badges, will gain more personal honors, including the highest personal honor, regular season MVP. The one who will be unlucky then may be Dirk. Nowitzki, it was Nowitzki who led the Mavericks to 06 wins in the original regular season of the 07-67 season.

The only exception to this may be O'Neal, who won the fourth championship with the Lakers thanks to Wang Chong. However, O'Neal's peak period has passed, and his era in the league is about to pass, so he will naturally not be impacted by Wang Chong.

-

The plot of the Heat vs. Mavericks in the NBA 2005-06 season finals is the same as Wang Chong is familiar with.

The Mavericks have home court advantage due to their record, and have defeated the Heat in their first two home games, taking a 2-0 lead.

O'Neal seemed extremely powerless in these two games, and his previous dominance was no longer the same. He had 17 points and 7 rebounds in the first game, and only 5 points and 6 rebounds in the second game, which made people realize that the Sharks are really old.

At this time, people thought that the strong Mavericks would win the game in one go.

No one would have thought that starting from the third game, Wade would take over O'Neal's baton and play a shocking game.

June 2006, 6, American Airlines Arena, Miami.

The reporters who had gathered outside the arena early saw a tall figure that excited them.

Wang Chong, who stopped in the Eastern Conference finals but was called the most dominant player throughout the season, appeared outside the arena with his girlfriend Jessica Alba, dressed in casual clothes, obviously coming to watch the finals.

"Mr. Wang Chong!"

Immediately, a reporter stopped Wang Chong outside the arena for an interview.

"Sorry to bother you, are you here to watch the game today?"

Faced with such a question, Wang Chong wanted to retort, "Why, aren't you here to watch the game or just take a walk outside the arena during this time?"

But he still held it back and said with a smile: "Of course, although Shaq and Dwayne and I were life-and-death opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals, outside of the game, these two people have a very good relationship with me. Friends, former teammates and partners, I am here today to cheer them on."

"Before this game, the Heat were already 0:2 behind and were in a very bad situation. Do you think the Heat have a chance to win this game? From a neutral perspective, which team do you think will win the championship? champion?"

"Of course it's the Heat. I have personally experienced what a terrible duo O'Neal and Wade are. The only one who can compete with them is the OK combination from a few years ago." Wang Chong said without thinking: " Although the Heat are now 0:2 behind, as long as they figure out the Mavericks' style of play, they will immediately turn around and win the finals with a winning streak."

Wang Chong dared to say this, of course, because as a time traveler, he had opened his eyes.

Most of the things about the future that he remembers now are about basketball and the NBA, and because of his existence, the butterfly effect has caused great changes in many things. There are not many opportunities to show off and show his foresight like he is now. , naturally you have to make a fuss.

Currently, due to the Mavericks' 2:0 lead and O'Neal's sluggish performance, there are very few people who are optimistic that the Heat can win the championship. Wang Chong's tone and attitude are so determined. Once the plot develops as he said, this kind of advanced strategy will Discernment is sure to be sought after.

Of course, this kind of thing is relative. If Wang Chong's prediction is correct, he will be praised to the sky, but if the prediction result is wrong, he will also be ridiculed. After all, with Wang Chong's current performance on the field, if If there was anything that could attack him, it would be trivial things like this outside the arena.

Wang Chong, who had his eyes open, could not guess wrong.

<divclass="contentadv"> Before the game started, Wang Chong interacted with Wade and O'Neal on the sidelines. After the game started, Wang Chong witnessed Wade, who was in full swing, shooting 26 of 14 from the field. In the game, he made 18 of 13 free throws, scored 42 points and 13 rebounds, and led the team to a narrow victory over the Mavericks by 2 points.

This victory was extremely thrilling, because before the start of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still held a 9-point lead.

Unexpectedly, in the fourth quarter, Wade scored 15 points in a single quarter, leading the Heat to a score of 30:19 in a single quarter, reversing the game and retaining the opportunity for the Heat to comeback.

Heat fans are afraid just thinking about it. If Wade fails to resist at the last moment of this game and is won by the Mavericks, the score becomes 3:0, and the Heat will have no hope of coming back.

But this is just the beginning of Wade's personal performance.

Two days later, still at the Heat's home court, Wade scored another 36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, helping the team gain another victory and tie the total score to 2:2.

The two teams are back on the same starting line. The previous feeling that the Heat was suppressed by the Mavericks has disappeared. Now the problem the Mavericks face is no longer how to limit the performance of the Sharks. Wade is obviously a greater threat to them.

But unlike the aging Sharks who can be targeted, Wade, who has shown confidence through these two home games, is really unstoppable on the court.

On June 6, Game 18 of the Finals returned to the Mavericks' home court, and the Mavericks' main shooting guard Jason Terry was hot in this game, scoring 56 points with a 35% shooting rate.

However, the Mavericks fought against the Heat in overtime, but still lost to the Heat with a score of 100:101, losing the crucial Tianwangshan battle at their home court.

而韦德在这场比赛中再砍43分4篮板4助攻数据，罚球达到了夸张的25罚21中。

It's not a joke, but Wade does have special care from the referee's whistle at this time, which greatly increases his lethality under the basket.

But it is an indisputable fact that Wade can get past outside defenders and reach the penalty area every time. If it were other players, even if the referee wanted to help, he would not be able to do it.

The Heat, who had won three consecutive games and took the lead in winning the match point with a big score of 3:3, did not give the Mavericks any chance.

On June 6, in Game 20 of the Finals, at the Heat's home court, Wade made 18 of 10 shots and 21 of 16 free throws. He scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the Heat to a 95:92 victory over the Mavericks, a big score of 4 :2 won and successfully won the 2005-06 NBA championship.

With averages of 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the six games of the Finals, Wade was undoubtedly elected as the Finals FMVP, becoming the first player among the 03 rookie class to win the FMVP.

Although he won the championship two years later than Wang Chong, Wade's championship is obviously much more valuable than Wang Chong's championship in 04.

Wang Chong could only be ranked third in the Lakers team at that time. The team leader was O'Neal and the second player was Kobe. Even if it weren't for Gary Payton and Karl Malone's performance in the playoffs, they became a team. For the standard Wolong Phoenix, it is not certain whether Wang Chong will be the third player in the team.

Wade is different. Although at the beginning of the season and even at the beginning of the playoffs, O'Neal was still recognized by the Heat as the strongest and biggest star, and was also the team leader by default. This has been true since O'Neal was selected for the first team. De but only the second formation can be seen.

However, as the playoffs progressed, O'Neal, whose competitive status declined due to aging and injuries, became increasingly unable to cope with his performance on the court. When the Heat defeated the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, Wade's contribution was already greater than O'Neal's.

In the finals, O'Neal, who was in poor form, averaged only 13.7 points and 10.2 rebounds in six games, which was a huge gap compared to 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Therefore, there was no possibility of competing with Wade for FMVP. .

Even so, O'Neal was very happy, smiling like a 300-pound fat man.

This championship is of great significance to O'Neal.

When he left the Lakers two years ago, he was kicked out. He obviously won four championships for the team and made great contributions, but in the face of interests, the Lakers still chose to send him away and praise Kobe.

From that moment on, O'Neal had secretly vowed to win the championship with the Heat and slap the Lakers owner and general manager in the face.

This is why O'Neal stated in a high-profile manner as soon as he came to the Heat that he was here to assist Wade in winning the championship. He did not want to experience another OK combination-style struggle for power in the Heat. In order to get revenge, he was willing to put down his body to assist a fledgling rookie. .

And now, after successfully winning the O'Brien Cup, for O'Neal, everything he has paid is worth it.

O'Neal's victory definitely caused times the mental damage to Lakers fans.

O'Neal won the championship with the Heat, and Wang Chong also reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the Bulls. What about Kobe's Lakers? Oh, they were eliminated in the second round by the Suns without Stoudemire.

Anyone who sees this scene can't help but think that if the Lakers had renewed O'Neal's contract with the maximum salary, Wang Chong would not have taken the initiative to apply for a trade because of the difference in the distribution of ball rights with Kobe. With O'Neal, Wang Chonghe What will happen to the Lakers team with Kobe Bryant's Big Three in the next two years?

The conclusion can actually be easily reached by just using your toes.

With all three of them present, the Lakers will definitely overcome all obstacles and win the championship last year, and continue to win this year, imitating Jordan and the Bulls in creating a second three-peat dynasty!

Thinking of this, the Lakers fans were naturally very angry. While they scolded the team's general manager Kupchak, they didn't even benefit from Kobe.

No one has forgotten that both O'Neal and Wang Chong left the team because Kobe acted like a monster and caused irreconcilable conflicts.

It would be fine if Kobe could stand up, but now O'Neal and Wang Chong have better leadership results than him, so what else can be done? I can only be scolded silently.

The Lakers can only salivate now, counting on the free market opening after the end of the season to acquire a strong enough star player through trade and signings, and cooperate with Kobe who has reached his peak to try to launch an impact on the championship.
