Chapter 319 The East and West finalists are confirmed, and the turmoil caused by a draft pick
When the final whistle sounded, Chris Bosh and Wade celebrated wantonly and ran around the field, fearing that the small group of Heat fans still on the scene would not see them.
Remember, there are two guys in the Cavaliers team that swept you this year, one is Chris Bosh, who you called "Bo Yibo", and the other is the "ex-Heat" who was stabbed by you Team soul"!
The so-called "the way of heaven has reincarnation, who is spared by the sky"...
When you let us go, did you ever think about today?
So happy, so happy!
After the two yelled loudly, they immediately turned their heads to look for LeBron James.
Can be on site...
Where is LeBron James?
This makes Chris Bosh and Wade very disappointed.
You're so stingy, even if you are eliminated, but brother has advanced anyway, can't you come and hug me?
The sacrifices of the past made it impossible for you to force a smile on your face now?
Based on this measure, if we retire our jerseys at the Heat in the future, you may not be able to come to the scene, right?
Forget it, let's celebrate by ourselves, shall we?
After running around the field, Chris Bosh and Wade hug each other.
Most of the boredom I suffered in Miami in the past was vented at once.
As for the remaining half of the boredom...
They also see an outlet for catharsis!
That is to win the championship!
As long as they win the championship this year, it will be clear at a glance who is the reason why they didn't even make it to the finals in the Heat's "peak group" back then...
It's not that they hate LeBron, but that the current situation belongs to "dead friends never die poor".
There is always someone who has to pay for the failure of the "Peak Big Three" to win the championship...
It can't be him Wade, and it can't be him Chris Bosh, um...
Who else could it be?
whee!
At the same time, LeBron James, who returned to the locker room, hurriedly took a shower, and then was interviewed in casual clothes. It can be seen that the blow was not small, not only the blow of being swept away by Li Wan again, but also the current public opinion...
Two or three years ago, how could he have been so questioned because he was selected for the "Best Team"?
This once again made LeBron clearly realize that his "king bubble" that has not yet been constructed is collapsing. There was still a little structure, but now even a little phantom can't be seen!
If it continues, then the next thing is his shrinking in commercial value...
Then his media company can't reverse the current situation even if it makes noise every day!
Therefore, he hastily accepted the interview at this moment in order to leave early later.
He needs to have a good discussion with his team about the next choice... Right now, it seems that if he stays with the Heat, there is only one result, which is to become more and more passive, and eventually he will no longer have the "Emperor Dream"!
You know, this is his 13th season in the league. Although he entered the league at the age of 18, with 13 years added, he is already 31 years old...
There is only one reason for the vassal kings of the world not to be called emperor at this age, and that is that they dare not be called emperor, and they have too many worries...
But he is different, he wants to be called now.
He needs a championship!
So this summer...
Thinking of this while he was answering the question, he couldn't help frowning, and his face became heavy.
The media reporters around him watched and talked for a long time, did not mention the main point, and LeBron James, who was still settled, suddenly discovered that this "proud son of heaven" who was already "young and mature" and the representative of the "talent" of the league He is a "super genius" who was known as the "little emperor" when he first entered the league. His forehead lines are deeper and his hairline is receding further. He...
old!
Also, can you not be old?
It's been ten years...
There is no doubt that he proved his talent, but his luck was too bad. He just entered the league and met Tim Duncan, and then met Kobe at his peak. In order to violate the decision of "hometown", I thought everything would be a matter of course, but unexpectedly, Li Wan was born again, and this kid is even more ruthless!
Directly became the "Michael Jordan" of the 10s!
An ill-fated career...
Thinking of this, many reporters feel sorry for LeBron James...
I don't know how this "old boy" will go next!
There are reporters who feel sorry for LeBron James, but there are also media, which is crazy.
Just like the media in Cleveland.
On their official website that night, there were more than a dozen detailed records about the Cavaliers sweeping the Heat.
Among them is an article that specifically records the various ugly pictures of LeBron James in this round of the series.It was a relief to see the Cleveland fans.
And early the next morning, the "Cleveland Candide" directly published an article: "LeBron, do you regret it?"
This article isn't just about the Cavaliers sweeping the Heat...
He also severely "wronged" the current public opinion environment of LeBron James.
The whole article can be summed up in two words:
retribution!
But high and high Cleveland fans know full well this won't be their last madness...
ESPN's headline for the day read:
"28-0, LeBron James faced Li Wan for the 7th time in his career, and it is still difficult to win, "LeBron's Nemesis" deserves his name! "
Yes……
ESPN directly called "LeBron nemesis" to describe Li Wan.
It's just that the New York media was very upset when they heard the news.
What level is he, LeBron James, what championship, how many MVPs?
Also worthy of our giegie wearing such a title?
Have you ever heard of Michael Jordan's nickname, "Ewing Buster"?
Isn't that called Ewing "Michael Jordan fermented bean curd"!
It's the same now...
What "LeBron nemesis"...
Be obedient, let's call LeBron James "Li Wan Sufu"!
The Cavaliers reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season.
After the game, when Li Wan was asked "Which team do you want to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?", he said without hesitation: "Need to say? Of course it's the Bulls..."
He was eliminated last season, so of course he has to pay back the hatred!
The Bulls are also in a good situation. They started the Eastern Conference semifinals earlier than the Cavaliers, and they have already finished the fifth game of the series with the Nets.
They were tied 4-2 in the first 2 games. After returning home, through overtime, they defeated the Nets with a 4-point difference and won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain". to 3-2...
Holding the match point, they are now only one step away from the Eastern Conference Finals.
Li Wan's words, seen by the Chicago media, were a "stimulant", giving the Bulls the fighting spirit to deal with their opponents faster.
But what they don't know is...
When Carmelo Anthony saw what Li Wan said, he broke the TV remote control at home.
What!
Just ignore me?
That's not to say, I must go to Dongjue to give him a shot!
It's not just Carmelo Anthony who is full of firepower, but also Chris Paul and Howard.
Under the subtle influence of Anthony for a season, the two of them also rekindled their fighting spirit.
In addition, for 183, he has an additional small reason...
Paul Pierce is also on the Cavaliers!
Between him and Pierce, there is a big account waiting to be settled!
This "morale bonus" allowed the Nets back at home to play the best game since the semifinals. They entered the state early on both ends of the offense and defense, but at the end of the first half, they had already opened up. A double-digit difference, you know...
After the first five games, the biggest difference between them and the Bulls was only 13 points.
From this, we can see how well the Nets played in the first half!
In the second half, they still maintained their focus on both offensive and defensive ends in the first half. In the end, the whole game ended, 115 to 99. In the case of losing the match point, the Nets defeated the Bulls and forced a big score. The tie became a 3-3 tie...
Facing the camera after the game, Carmelo Anthony, who was sweating profusely, uttered the representative quote of his entire career in the future: "Who doesn't want to go to the Eastern Conference Finals?"
The desire to survive, as well as the desire for the Eastern Conference finals, were vividly displayed.
At the same time, the Trail Blazers and Warriors, who were lagging behind in the Western Division, were also full of fighting spirit. They won the fifth game of the series and rewritten the big score to 5-3!
But the following G6 fully demonstrated that the "fighting spirit to win" is also divided into 246 levels.
Compared with the Warriors, the Trail Blazers' "fighting spirit" is at most 4 levels...
In G6, they lost to the Hornets by 113 to 119 at their home court by 6 points, and were finally eliminated by a big score of 2-4.However, at the end of the game, the Rose Garden did not have too many frustrated voices.
With the arrival of Deron Williams and the growth of CJ McCrum, they finally have a stable backcourt. Coupled with the fact that they are definitely the top insiders in the league, they believe that...
In the future west, there is definitely a place for pioneers!
Besides, losing to the "Terminator" is really not ashamed!
On the second day after the Trail Blazers played G6, the "tie-break" between the Bulls and the Nets and the G6 between the Warriors and the Thunder started at the same time.
What Li Wan is more concerned about is definitely the result of the game between the Bulls and the Nets. This game will determine who their opponent is in the Eastern Conference Finals, so...
Li Wan chose to watch g6 between the Warriors and the Thunder.
There is no other reason, just to see if Klay Thompson will "shine Buddha" in this game.
This kind of "foresight" is really a joy that can't be replaced by "fairy water"!
Of course, except for the fat house...
In fact, analyzing from the perspective of "after the fact", the Thunder's 3-1 lead was reversed, and it is not without trace...
The biggest problem lies with the "Wang Zang Combination".
In the first 4 games of the series, the two of them combined to score about 62 points per game.
But playing singles is too exhausting.
Especially since Game [-], when Steve Kerr put Iguodala in front of Kevin Durant just in time.Among the many defenders who limit Kevin Durant's performance, Iguodala's name is definitely on the list and is among the best!
This increases the cost of Kevin Durant's "stand-up singles".
The original Thunder team and the Warriors met in G6 of the Western Conference Finals. Klay Thompson's 11 three-pointers in a single game were the key to the Warriors' escape. Similarly, Kevin Durant made 31 three-pointers in this game. Only 10 shots were made, which was also a very critical factor for the Thunder to lose.
He is tired!
If you are tired, you can’t play well. This is a common characteristic of the superstars in the 10s, from Kevin Durant to James Harden, to Westbrook... let alone the group behind, including Stephen Curry, also has this problem.
Comparing them, you can probably understand why "God" is "God"!
Whether it's the "Flu Battle" or "The Last Shot", they are all classic masterpieces of Michael Jordan's mental strength to support his performance after his body reached the limit...
This game...
Although ahead of the semi-finals!
However, judging from the whole process, not much has changed. Kevin Durant played very hard under the defense of Iguodala.
And Klay Thompson's state came quickly, and he kept hitting three-pointers. In the first half alone, he had hit 5 three-pointers.
Li Wan satisfied his curiosity, so he immediately switched the channel to the game between the Bulls and the Nets.
They started first, so the Warriors only ended at halftime, and the Bulls and Nets had both played to the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter.
The current score is 112 to 109, and the Bulls barely lead by 3 points.
After entering the finals last year, the ability to adjust mentality is different after all.
The last game had the largest single-game score in the series, and this game can still hold its ground...
Jason Kidd called a timeout in the last 2 minutes.
In the past minute, the Nets didn't score a point, but the Bulls scored another point with free throws.Seeing this situation, Jason Kidd decisively used up the last timeout in his hand.
Carmelo Anthony took the towel from his teammate and rubbed his face in boredom.
"Chris, you're passing the ball!" He yelled at Paul, "Why are you playing singles all the time? Give me the ball in the next two rounds!"
"cp3" didn't answer, just wiped his sweat on his own.
Howard looked at him like this, knowing that this guy had committed an old problem again.
But at this time, he also knows that it's not a time for conflicts. The three brothers have been doing well in the past season, and he also likes the feeling of going to nightclubs with Carmelo Anthony. ——It doesn’t matter which nightclub you are in, you can taste the new tea as soon as it arrives in the store. It’s great.
Since Chris doesn't pass the ball to Carmelo Anthony, then when he misses, I grab the rebound and give it to Carmelo, right?
When the "Warcraft" made up his mind on the stage, he patted Anthony on the shoulder specially to let him not be depressed.
Anthony nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the Bulls, his eyes couldn't help but fell on Derrick Rose, and he said in his heart: Damn, let you enter the Eastern Conference Finals, can you beat Li Wan?
Regardless of the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Bulls stepped on the Cavaliers to enter the finals.
but……
Everyone knows what the Cavaliers went through last season.
Just look at the regular season record this season. The Bulls have never won against the Cavaliers...
This is going to the Eastern Conference finals, isn't it clear that Li Wan will be sent to the finals?
Their Nets are different, they won the Cavaliers in the first game of the season...
so bro...
Who should enter the Eastern Conference finals, do you really have no score in your heart?
What good does it do you to keep sending Li Wan to the finals?
Carmelo Anthony really didn't expect that it would be fine if someone stopped him in the West, but now that he is in the East, someone will stop him, what the hell...
Li Wan's "dog luck" is too good, right?
No!
Absolutely not!
I can't let him go on like this!
Carmelo Anthony is determined to kill.
The cameraman on the sidelines recorded the scene in time.
"Death Eye Melon Version" is officially launched.
The game resumed, Chris Paul going his own way, facing Jimmy Butler's defense, missed a jumper, Howard yelled from the double-team of two big men, enjoyed grabbing the rebound, and then found Anthony, a strong Flicked the ball and almost made a mistake, but Carmelo Anthony still got the ball.
Facing Luol Deng's defense, a standard "three-threat" shot was made and a quick three-pointer was scored.
The difference is 3 points.
"Yes!"
Carmelo Anthony clenches his fist hard.
At the same time, he gestured to Chris Paul: Did you see it?
I can shoot and score!
Will you die if you give me the ball?
Chris Paul met his eyes, but quickly moved away, but the expression on his face was a little more determined.
When Derrick Rose came to the frontcourt, he took what he had learned all his life, made a big move, and broke the ball.Derrick Rose, who felt violated, subconsciously glanced at the referee on the sidelines...
Didn't blow!
Before he had time to jump, he chased forward. Chris Paul's steal really caught the Bulls off guard, and he scored an easy layup in the frontcourt.
He also looked back at Carmelo Anthony, as if saying, I can do it too!
It's not that I can't!
The time fell below the last 1 minute.
Derrick Rose's signature layup was tracked by Howard at a critical moment, and he reached out to block his last pull.
If it was before, it would definitely be too late to return to defense.
But who made the "three-second zone" shrink now!
The ball was solidly blocked, but fortunately Derrick Rose grabbed the rebound himself and caused Howard's foul.
It was just that during the scramble, his hand twisted a bit, which affected his free throw feel, and he made 2 of 1 free throws.
At the time of the last attack, Chris Paul pressed the time in the frontcourt and quickly broke through with the ball.
The Bulls' defense was very good on this ball, and they caught up with his breakthrough in time. Chris Paul, who had no room to shoot, turned around to find someone.
A precise pass found Carmelo Anthony who was emptied.
He actually passed it on?
Howard didn't expect it, and Anthony who got the ball didn't expect it...
In fact, Chris Paul didn't expect that he was completely "throwing the pot"!
But judging by the results...
In order to double-team him, Luol Deng left his position, leaving Anthony with a brief opportunity to open the phone.
After a quick adjustment, Carmelo Anthony raised his hand and shot. The ball crossed a perfect arc and fell steadily into the basket.
in!
The Nets went ahead by 6.4 point with 1 seconds left in the game.
"Defense, defend!"
Jason Kidd yelled there as soon as the ball was scored.
His rich court experience made him very clear that 6.4 seconds is a good opportunity to steal chickens.
I have to say that Kidd's "anti-gank awareness" is really full.After the Bulls served, Derrick Rose, who was about to advance quickly, saw no chance and called their last timeout of the game.
To defend against 2 points or to defend against 3 points, that is the question...
In the case of only leading by 1 point, this problem is actually very difficult to solve!
In the end, Jason Kidd's eyes fell on Howard. Looking at the first three-consecutive "Best Defensive Player Award" guy in NBA history, he chose to "believe first, then question".
The timeout ended and Derrick Rose got the ball smoothly.
The timely expansion of the Nets made Rose only choose to break through.
But obviously, the Nets knew very well that the Bulls' final attack would be handed over to Rose, so the entire contraction speed was very fast and the interception was very successful.Right in front of Derrick Rose.
This is what Ross was waiting for.
Having partnered with Jimmy Butler for so many years, he already has enough trust in his little brother.
Everyone knew I was going to layup at the last moment, and I did!
But no one will know...
My breakthrough layup is to give my little brother a better shot.
After receiving the ball from the high position, Jimmy Butler raised his hand and shot.
And at this moment, Howard actually rushed out and blocked Jimmy Butler's shot.
"beep!"
The ball hit the ground and rolled towards the baseline, the final whistle sounded, and the game...
it's over!
114 to 113, at the Bulls' home court, relying on Carmelo Anthony's quasi-three-point "lore" and Howard's chasing block, the Nets won the "tie-break" victory.
Officially advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
"Dwight's block is so beautiful!" Drexler was full of praise, which reminded him of his former teammate "Dream" Olajuwon, who also had such a wonderful shot at the time. "Famous scene".
Although that difficulty is much higher.
Howard is only on the two-point line, and Olajuwon is actually defending the three-point line...
but……
There is no doubt that this will be the representative moment of Howard's entire career!
Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul rushed towards Howard for the first time, but seeing Howard stepping on the logo to perform "Superman Returns", they followed suit.
"Let's congratulate the Nets for reaching the Eastern Conference Finals!"
Bill Wharton yelled, and at this time the big screen at the scene showed Jimmy Butler.
Frustration can't be concealed on Michael Jordan's face...
This is the first time he has executed the last shot, so the result is naturally a slap in the face.
"However, there is really no need for him to feel depressed. His career has just begun. Back then, Kobe made three consecutive shots in the playoffs. No one thought that his future would be so great! "
Noah also gave Jimmy Butler a "touch head kill" immediately.
Such a result is a pity, but he doesn't want Jimmy Butler to blame himself too much.
Derrick Rose patted Jimmy Butler on the shoulder: "Man, it's not your mistake, it's our entire team's mistake!"
If he hadn't been blocked by Howard before, if he hadn't been intercepted by Chris Paul, they wouldn't have needed to play this last round of offense.
"This time, the responsibility lies with me!"
"Wind City Rose" took the responsibility on himself after the game.
Looking at such a responsible Derrick Rose, the Chicago media was disappointed, but also a little more satisfied.Either way, Ross fits the bill for their new "Lord of the Windy City."
Even now, he has not led the Bulls to a championship...
"Hit the knight!"
"Hit the knight!"
"We're going to fight knights!"
Everyone in the Nets returned to the locker room, shouting excitedly, celebrating their narrow escape.
I have to say, I was really lucky.
In the last few attacks, if there was a slight mistake, it was impossible for them to leave the United Arena with a victory...
Enough!
Hard enough!
Carmelo Anthony thinks back on his performance at critical moments, and then thinks about Chris Paul and Howard's performance at critical moments. He is also more and more confident about the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals.
Wait to die, Li Wan!
When interviewed by the media, he said directly: "We will win, we will enter the finals, I believe we can do this!"
This attitude, combined with his "Pupil of Death" in the game...
ESPN's news on the second day is: This is definitely the most aggressive year of Carmelo Anthony's career!
However, the Nets were able to reverse the Bulls and complete the reversal of chasing two games in a row. It is certainly not easy, but the headlines of the next day...
Belonging to the Warriors and Klay Thompson!
As Li Wan predicted, this G6 became Klay Thompson's "Battle of Fame" in the playoffs.
A total of 11 three-pointers were scored in the game, and finally scored 38 points, helping the team "escape from death" at the Thunder's home court.
Counting the previous victory, the Warriors have chased 2 games in a row, rewriting the big score to a 3-3 tie!
In the next game, they not only have the home court advantage, but also have an absolute momentum advantage.More importantly, most of the media can see at this moment that the Thunder's "double stick singles" tactic is not as effective as the previous few games because of the physical fitness of Kevin Durant and Westbrook. .
The New Orleans media took the opportunity to post: "I believe that Oklahomans have never missed James Harden as much as they do now!"
This is finding a place for Harden!
But the Oklahoma media can't refute their words, especially in the current situation. With James Harden's "big double-double" performance of 26 points and 13 assists per game, the Hornets have reached the Western Conference Finals, while the Thunder It is very likely that with a 3-1 lead, they will be chased by the Warriors for 3 consecutive games to complete the comeback and set a shameful record.
Rather...
The biggest problem for the Thunder right now is...
There is no third person on the team who can stand up!
In fact, the New Orleans media felt very sorry for this.
It's not yin and yang...
But if the Thunder advance, then James Harden will meet the Thunder. What could be more exciting than "the former owner who knows nothing about his skills"?
Look how excited Cleveland people are after the Cavaliers eliminated the Heat!
They were expected to hit a similar G-spot.
It's a pity that this Thunder team's "Wang Bo combination" is really a bit disappointing...
But just when everyone thought the Thunder's decline was evident, Kevin Durant activated the account of "The Strongest Reaper" because of this.
In the life-and-death G7, Kevin Durant showed a strong momentum from the beginning of the game. The shots after the "double change" were called "extremely accurate".
But in this game, Stephen Curry also found his "shooting bag", especially the "Sharp Shooter" account password outside the three-point line. Those top three-point shots made Westbrook, who was defending him, a little tempered. No, because of this, he was eager to chase points and made a lot of mistakes.
The node that sealed the victory was at 5 minutes and 13 seconds of the fourth quarter. Under the defense of Iguodala and Green in turn, Kevin Durant had a physical crisis, and his scoring efficiency collapsed.
The Warriors also opened the point difference to more than 15 points at this time. In the end, at the end of the game, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 119-102 at home and won the "tie-break".
At the same time, it has also become another team that has pulled three games in a row and completed a major reversal when it fell behind 1-3.
It is worth mentioning that the last team to do this was none other than Kevin Durant and the Thunder.At that time, they fell behind the Spurs 1-3 in the Western Conference Finals, then eliminated the Spurs in 3 consecutive games and entered the finals...
The moment the victory was sealed, the Warriors visibly relaxed.
In the past period of time, since the series with the Thunder, their mental pressure has not been small, especially when the team fell behind 1-3, all kinds of doubts flooded in like a tide.
They are also known as "the best record in the regular season", "the best record in history by relying on opportunism"...
Stephen Curry, as the top card of this team, has also been questioned because of his poor performance.
Even the MVP of the regular season, which was originally a certainty, has become unstable amidst this wave of public opinion.
Fortunately, they finally survived the catastrophe and broke into the Western Conference Finals tenaciously.
In fact...
These experiences are also an important factor for the Warriors to achieve the reputation of "cosmic bravery"!
It is also after experiencing these life-threatening sufferings that such a gorgeous Warriors team just now... These people are not the "space battleships" that the league has affirmed from the beginning, and doubts have surrounded them for at least 2 years.
The first championship did not quell all the doubts, and just now we have 73 wins and 9 losses; in the current situation, it can be clearly seen that 73 wins and 9 losses still have not quelled doubts, but if the team is a little unstable, these Doubts will still come up like the tide...
But it is this time after time of growth that makes their hearts as hard as a rock.
Speaking of which, LeBron James and the Cavaliers, who also experienced a 1-3 deficit to a 4-3 comeback, still experienced it in the finals, but lost for the next two years.It's okay to lose for two years in a row, and the losers are so irresistible...
It can be seen how watery this wave of big reversal is, those transformations that should have happened, can't be seen in this team at all...
Now that they have climbed over this mountain, it can be clearly seen that the eyes of everyone in the Warriors team are becoming more and more resolute!
Lu Xun once said: "The biggest factor that prevents a player from becoming a better player is self-confidence. As long as he is confident, there is nothing he cannot do. On the contrary, if he does not have self-confidence, then he cannot do anything!"
The roster of the Western Conference Finals has been settled, and the entire atmosphere of the Eastern Conference Finals has also been rendered.
The Nets defeated the Bulls and reached the final Eastern Conference Finals...
Don't say it!
There are really a lot of gimmicks.
First of all, for New York fans, one thing that is enough to make them happy is that they can see the majestic appearance of Li Wan's husband in New York again!
what?
Brooks is not New York, but a New York suburb?
No, no, how is it possible, is it the suburbs of New York?
This is called "New Countryside"!
As long as you can see Li Wan, you can call it a "metropolis".
Then there is the old grievances between Chris Paul and Paul Pierce, the "Banana Boat Brothers Civil War" between Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, and the "Youth Memories Killing" between Li Wan and Howard again... …
It’s just that when Chris Paul heard these gimmicks, he was very dissatisfied: what level is my Chris Paul, and what level is he Paul Pierce?A substitute rotation player deserves to talk to me about gimmicks?
He is just a small reason for me to advance to the Eastern Finals...
Do you understand the small reason?
Carmelo Anthony was also dissatisfied: "What level is Melo, and what level is he Wade? A sixth man on the team is also worthy of making stunts with me?"
Howard is the only one who is satisfied among the three brothers.
It is an honor to be able to "confront" Li Wan in public opinion these days!
He was very fortunate that he had been teammates with Li Wan back then, and the fact that he was snatching the "boss" even made him feel proud, so he went out to inquire, who ever competed with Li Wan for the position of the boss, and finally won him? !
This is also an honor!
"Warcraft" strongly requested the league to award him a special award to commemorate this great moment...
On May 5, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals will start in Cleveland.
On the morning of the same day, the league officials held the annual lottery meeting in Madison Square Garden.
The major "bad masters" who have been busy for the "No. 16 pick" all season gathered together to attack the final "No. [-] pick" in the [-] draft.
The final result was no different from the original one. The 76ers team won the "No. 76 lottery". Hinkie, who was far away in the general manager's office of the [-]ers, showed a triumphant smile. Another "genius newcomer" was about to debut!
In addition, Cleveland got an exciting news:
The Timberwolves' final pick was the 4th pick in the first round...
One pick short of their protected pick!
In other words, the second condition of Griffin's "Eight Sage Kings" deal with the Timberwolves last year took effect: the Cavaliers' 27th pick in the first round this year will be exchanged with the Timberwolves' fourth pick in the first round... …
The Cavaliers, which ranks third in the league's record list, have the fourth pick in the first round of 2016...
between……
How can I explain it!
In 2016, the overall quality of the draft was not bad. Having the fourth pick in the first round this year means that the Cavaliers will have another rookie with unlimited potential...
The growth of Wiggins represents Li Wan's side, and there is enough suitable space for newcomers to grow!
Even if this lottery finally selects a rookie who has grown into an ordinary main force, but...
do not forget!
He has a "child labor contract".
Griffin can use the saved money to add another fierce player!
Is it true that "the poor get poorer and the rich get richer"?
When this deal was exposed in the league, all general managers wanted to swap roles with Griffin...
The cards for the Cavaliers in the next few years are too easy to play!
The Cleveland media raved about this: "Griffin once again proved that he is an extremely good general manager. The reason why the past Cavaliers have messed up is not his responsibility, but because we did not correctly recognize what we have. Yeah, that's not a player like Wan Li, that guy was just born in Akron next to Cleveland, we're so emotional..."
Ok……
The Cleveland media took the opportunity to smack LeBron James again.
When Griffin was interviewed, he also attributed the credit to Li Wan: "This is the advantage of having Li Wan. He makes signings easy. Some people say that Cleveland can't recruit big-name players. I agree with that." Admit it, but everyone has to admit that Cleveland can't recruit stars, but the O'Brien Cup can! If you can become famous here, no player will give up such an opportunity!"
He is not afraid that Li Wan will be put on by other players in the league because of this...
Because next, the Cavaliers will move to Columbus, which has a larger population.
The commercial value there is better than Cleveland in all aspects, and it is destined to attract more attention.
Cleveland's woes won't be repeated there.
And still that sentence...
A city cannot recruit stars, but a championship trophy can!
As long as they win the championship this season, there will only be more and more veterans who will hug their thighs for this.
Li Wan, Chris Bosh and Wiggins' "basic set" are here, and they don't actually need any "old age" stars to join...
Ok?
Griffin suddenly realized that he was really getting bolder now, and he didn't care if there were any stars joining.
He finally discovered the disadvantages of owning Li Wan:
That is too easy to be complacent!
This news is a "heavy blow" to the rest of the league.
The Cavaliers got this bargaining chip, not to mention going to a higher level, it is even more powerful, and the difficulty of defeating Li Wan suddenly increased. Others don't know, anyway, Pat Riley in the general manager's office of the Heat has made up his mind:
reconstruction!
Similarly, LeBron James, who had been discussing with his team for several days, did not hesitate to express his strongest thoughts after hearing the news:
I'm going to "Superteam"!
Just kidding, such a strong Cavaliers team also got a fourth overall pick in the first round. If they don't go to a super team, how can they compete with Li Wan!
Ok……
You can't blame me for forming a super team, it was Li Wanxian who used the super team to beat me!
Just like when I formed the "Big Three" back then, it was also because Boston formed the "Big Three" first!
what?
People are grouping the "Big Three of the Elderly", and I am grouping the "Big Three of the Peak"?
Huh~
Is it necessary to subdivide the "Big Three" and the "Big Three" in this way?
Besides, I don't form the "Peak Big Three", how can I beat the "Boston Big Three"?
Just like that, they even called me "coloured contact lenses", bah, no, they shot out my "death pupils"!
Similarly, even Carmelo Anthony, who has always called himself "Lee Wan Kexing", realized that this may be his only chance to prove himself in this life, and the Cavaliers really can't touch it in the future...
This time, we must win!
