After the first two games of the Finals, even the most devout Miami fans on the Internet thought that the Heat should be doomed this year.
ESPN columnist Stephen A. Smith said in his "NBA New Generation Powers" column:
"Although the leader of the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin, is only 21 years old this year, he has already become a double-team player, AMVP, and MVP. We can no longer underestimate this young man!"
In the original column, a Smith said:
"Looking carefully at this round of the finals, you can easily find that except for LeBron, any matchup in other positions will lag behind the Trail Blazers...
Dwyane Wade, I'm sorry, the Flash I once was will never come back.
Chris Bosh, I'm also sorry. In the face of Wang Zelin's dominance at the basket, all insiders are equal.
LeBron's data still looks very beautiful, but if he cannot give the ideal victory, then I think this is the failure of a superstar. What's more, LeBron is still the super giant among the super giants, the number one active player in the league.
!
This is destined to be a sad series for Heat fans.
With all due respect, the dynasty dream of the Big Three is about to be shattered, and the dynasty dream of the Miami Heat should also be shattered...
Because after the first two finals, I didn't see any hope of a comeback from the Heat."
Also on the 9th, another famous reporter from ESPN, Bill Simmons, also said in his Finals review column:
Time seems to be reincarnating, and the era of super insiders dominating the NBA is back!
"Since the 21st century, since Shaquille and Tim have aged one after another, NBA leaders have gradually become classic centers and then moved to the outside. The league has seen a flourishing era of guards and a flourishing small forward...
And starting from this year's playoffs, when the mysterious behemoth from the ancient East has adapted in the first year, we can see that the NBA can no longer limit its opponents.
Comparing the Western Conference playoffs last year and this year, you can find that the Spurs, who suffered Wang Zelin's rookie year, can only watch him do whatever he wants under the basket this year.
It is also under the leadership of Wang Zelin that the Portland Trail Blazers have overcome all obstacles and easily reached the finals after losing only one game in the previous three rounds!"
In addition, at the end of the article, Bill Simmons also expressed his views on the trend of this year's finals. He said bluntly:
"At most 4:1, there can be no 6 games! Of course, from the current point of view, the high probability is 4:0 again!"
Not to mention, after watching the various hindsights after the game... ahem, and various review studies, Wang Zelin felt that there are many talented people in Millikin who are aware of current affairs.
Because judging from the lineups of the two teams this season, the Trail Blazers have been very restrained by the Heat.
The Heat's two strongest points at present, James and Wade, are both top players with a breakthrough style of play. However, the Trail Blazers have a top rim protector like Wang Zelin.
Think about it, in the original time and space, the NBA Finals in 2013 and 2014 were just facing the No. 21 rookie in the Holy City who was in his thirties or almost forty. If he almost overturned in the first year, he would be directly eliminated in the second year.
The Spurs succeeded in revenge with 4:1.
After all, basketball is a game of giants. When a true super insider appears, the entire basketball team will undergo earth-shaking changes for his arrival.
You may not believe it...
Now even the toughest Heat fans have acquiesced in the fact that the Heat were defeated by the Trail Blazers in this group of finals...
"There are championships every year, and this year it's my turn to win."
Looking at various reports on the Internet that praised him, Wang Zelin silently clenched his fists at home.
You know, after touching the O'Brien Cup, which represents the highest honor in the NBA world, God knows how much effort he put in behind the scenes?
What?
What about the system?
Ah……
As we all know, the system only plays a supporting role, and what really supports him to this day is not his unremitting efforts.
Relying on the system is something only incompetent pigs' feet can do.
And a real protagonist like Wang Zelin always relies on himself.
Besides, I don’t even know how many chapters have not appeared in my system. With such pitiful scenes, I really don’t know what this generation of dog authors think?
…
…
According to the schedule, the Finals G3 game between the Trail Blazers and the Heat is scheduled for June 10.
On the evening of the 10th, the G3 game started at American Airlines Arena.
Announced by both sides before the game.
Home team Heat: Chalmers, Wade, James, Lewis, Bosh.
Visiting Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
After the list was announced, it immediately sparked discussion.
During the TNT live broadcast, O'Neal bluntly expressed his disdain for the Heat:
"I really don't know what the Heat coaching staff is thinking. Such a lineup has already caused them to lose two games, so why do they continue to hold on?"
Weber on the side was also puzzled: "Yeah! After the first two games, everyone knows that Chris can't have much impact on Wang on the defensive end. Why don't you change to a body with a tonnage closer to Wang's?"
What about the inside line? Even if it is just a pure blue-collar human shield with no offensive ability, it cannot be good!"
"..."
Tonight, in addition to O'Neal and Webber, TNT has also arranged another commentator, that is the Heat legend, O'Neal's old rival in his rookie year and his good teammate in the fourth championship period.
However, I'm afraid Mourning is also wondering why the Heat haven't changed their formation. Although O'Neal's words are ugly, they are very realistic.
Why are you still holding on to such a lineup?
In the live broadcast of the Imperial TV station, the commentator in charge of the G3 game of the finals was the ever-changing Zhang Bryant Weiping, and his partner tonight was no longer Yu Jia, but a "commentator"
Yang Jian, known as "Big Star".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as he saw the lineups of both sides, Zhang Lili slapped his thigh: "We are sure!"
Damn it, I sided with the Trail Blazers as soon as I came up. This is forcing me to side with the Heat.
Yang Jian glanced at Zhang Lili with resentment and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Ahem, um, Director Zhang, I don't think it's appropriate to make a conclusion so early. The Heat are actually quite strong."
Zhang Liji nodded and said: "The Heat are quite strong, and they are only 0:2 behind now. Thinking back to the 2006 Finals, they were still able to achieve the great feat of winning three games in a row!"
"Well……"
After Zhang Lili said this, not only Yang Jian, but also the fans in front of the TV were speechless.
Is there anyone who praises you so much?
Hey, wait a minute, the 2006 Finals, isn't that...
hiss!
At this moment, countless Chinese fans gradually recalled the various controversies surrounding the 2006 Heat vs. Mavericks Finals.
Heat fans are madly praising Wade, while Mavericks fans and Mavericks owner Cuban are still criticizing the black whistle that year...
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
After all, the 2006 Finals is a thing of the past, and it has become a foregone conclusion that the Heat will be the final winner. For the former Chinese fans, paying attention to this matter is more of a mentality of taking advantage of others.
However, today, they suddenly felt as if they were eating melon at their own home...
Because, no matter how this matter is, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions, because the true meaning caused by this matter does indeed exist.
So, I really can't say whether there will be interference from the alliance tonight.
In the home team's locker room, the Heat coaching team is discussing tonight's game.
Of course, it was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was more about cheering the players on.
Who let them fall behind 0:2 and be the team with low morale?
Spoelstra said to Bosh: "Chris, show off your offensive skills tonight! We are already standing on the edge of the cliff. We must win tonight, because losing another game means nothing. I don't need to say more."
Let’s talk. Boss, we must win this home court.”
Away team locker room.
Terry Stotts waved all the players over, and after seeing his disciples coming over, he said: "In the second game, we caught the opponent off guard, but this kind of thing cannot be done twice. Our strategy tonight is to make steady progress.
Wang, and everyone, please show the same defensive attitude as in the first game! What do 2:1 and 3:0 mean respectively? I don’t need to elaborate too much, right?"
Batum smiled and said: "Coach, don't worry, I won't let LeBron score 2...30 tonight."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After hearing Batum become submissive again midway through his words, everyone started laughing.
Wang Zelin laughed and said: "Nicholas, I didn't realize that you have a pretty good talent as a comedian."
Batum's gag was just the right thing to warm up the show. After all, this is the home of the Heat, and it's the American Airlines Arena where the defending NBA champions have played in the past two years. To say I'm not nervous would be a lie.
"Don't worry, let alone James scoring 30 points, even if he scores 50 points, don't even think about winning tonight! Because behind you, there are us!"
Wang Zelin patted Batum on the shoulder and said seriously.
Batum nodded thoughtfully.
On the stage of this year's finals, he was completely beaten by James, because no matter what defensive measures he took, as long as James wanted to, he could always score easily in front of him.
He was deeply moved by the despair brought about by the league's number one player.
But fortunately, after every game, his team was the last to win, which made Batum's scarred mind feel better.
Tristos also noticed the conversation between the two and came over to chat: "What Wang said makes sense. No matter who it is, as long as they appear on the court, they must show a 200% attitude, because we are a team and have always been better than Miami."
The Heat are a better, better, stronger team!"
The game begins and both sides take the stage.
Once a year, the two strongest teams in the NBA compete on the same stage on the top stage, bringing super high ratings, as well as overwhelming dazzling stars off the court.
The presence of celebrities from all walks of life has brought huge exposure and benefits. The revenue from the front row of the auditorium alone is around one million yuan for each finals, making the team and the league a lot of money.
.
On the black market, some first-row tickets have been sold for more than six figures. Even with Wang Zelin's status, there is nothing he can do to get so many first-row tickets.
However, there is no problem with my parents’ tickets, and they are in the first row.
"Zelin, be careful and don't get hurt."
In fact, this year's team's parents never missed a game in the playoffs and were always on hand to cheer him on.
However, if Wang Zelin remembers correctly, this should be the first time that his father, who has always been accustomed to silence, has spoken thoughtful words asking him to pay attention to his own safety.
Suddenly, Wang Zelin heard the "cordial greetings" from Heat fans that he had never heard since the team entered the stadium, and he immediately understood his father's concern.
Obviously, the craziness of American Airlines Arena has moved even my resolute father. What's more, my mother has been reminding me to pay more attention since the playoffs.
"Yes, I will."
Wang Zelin looked at his parents, replied with a smile, turned around and walked to the technical stage, ready to appear.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to signal the players to come on.
Wang Zelin stood in the middle of the lineup, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "The opponent is going to fight hard tonight. What do you think we should do?"
Lillard spoke first and said coldly: "Desperately? It's not like we haven't tried hard before!"
"You're right!"
Wang Zelin nodded approvingly towards Lillard and continued: "In terms of hard work, we can fight better than our opponents! The Heat are nothing more than that, so let us beat them and win the game!"
"Fuck them!"
"Blow the opponent!"
The Blazers generals and the more than 2,000 Blazers fans present roared and expressed their determination to win.
The jump ball started, Wang Zelin took the lead in touching the ball, and the Blazers got the first right of attack.
Everyone is already accustomed to this.
This is even more true for the Heat. As soon as Bosh jumped up, the other four players retreated quickly, without any ambiguity.
