"So is it confirmed? Is it really impossible for Steve to participate in the Finals?" D'Antoni's question is also the focus of the Lakers team. Without Nash, the Lakers' overall offensive strength will drop by at least 2
~30%. Los Angeles’ offensive storm since the playoffs has become “history”.
There are still many problems with this Lakers team, especially the overall problem. It was not obvious when Nash was there because it was forcibly connected. What if it is gone? The first 5060 games of the Lakers regular season were a true portrayal. They played alone.
All kinds of cores must explode to fight for Nash's comeback. However, some people breathed a sigh of relief, and that was Gasol. It's not that he has so much darkness and insidiousness in his heart, he also hopes that Steve Nash will be fine.
.But...you can't deny that when Steve Nash was around, he was very uncomfortable with the Lakers' tactics. Very uncomfortable.
Because he is older now and no longer has the mobility and physical fitness he had when he was young. In the future, he can play a "second spring" with the Bulls. A large part of the reason is that the Bulls' tactical system is very suitable for this age.
Gasol's slow pace, positional warfare, and the "black, hard, and rough" Noah inside to help, everything is the most suitable environment for Gasol.
And you have to admit that Gasol at this age is definitely not suitable for playing in D'Antoni's system.
This is true whether it is the original time and space or the current time and space. In this system, he will only play awkwardly and uncomfortable, so without Nash, he will be able to perform a little better. It is ironic to say that if they are stars who cannot complement each other
The accumulation can only "sacrifice" some stars with low adaptability. Gasol is very suitable for the triangle offense, but he is not suitable for "run and gun" and "small ball" now. Of course Tang Qian is OK, and Kobe has recovered.
The all-round peak is of course OK. Nash is the initiator, and there is not so much running and interspersing without the ball, which is still acceptable. The remaining role players are all under 30 years old. So in real terms, those who cannot adapt well are also
It’s the Spanish Goddess, Pau Gasol. You have to understand, not everyone can adapt to all systems. If you are as strong as James, why don’t you try the "James system"? The power and effect will be equally great
discount.
This is human nature. After all, Gasol is still a professional player and he needs to rely on this to make a living. He has no selfish motives at all. That is unrealistic.
"Yes, we have examined Steve's situation in detail. He cannot exercise strenuously for at least half a year." Gary Vitti said: "Actually, the injury is not serious enough to require surgery, but you have to know that Steve
He is over 40 years old. If he is in his 20s, I think he can be forced to play with injuries, but at 40... a person's functions are no longer enough. He needs at least this long to recover. This is still a relatively conservative estimate.
Already."
"Really?" Hearing this, D'Antoni's eyes flashed with unconcealable disappointment. This meant that he could only be the "hands-off boss" in the finals. The team's control has once again returned to the situation at the beginning of the season.
.
"I'm sorry, Mike, I'm sorry, everyone, at such a critical time, I..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by members of the Lakers team: "What are you talking about, Steve, we wouldn't be here now without you"
It’s hard to say whether we can make it to the finals, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”
"yes."
"It's no use."
"Alas." Nash suddenly sighed while lying on the bed, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe, I don't have the life to stand on the highest stage." Seeing Nash like this, no one could laugh anymore, because everyone
Everyone knew that this was probably the last chance for this 40-year-old man, but fate played a big joke on him at this time.
This is really a bit cruel.
This is a mood and state of mind that players who can play can hardly experience.
"Anyway, everyone, come on, do it for my sake, and let me 'win' a ring by the way."
…
When we left, basically everyone was in a depressed mood. Losing Nash in the finals had become an established fact.
But the game is still going on, and the Lakers' schedule this season does not end here.
In the past few days, the NBA's official promotional video has also been released. It is said that the cost of this promotional video is several times that of the previous finals promotional video. It seems that David Stern is really preparing to do something in his last term.
The final big vote.
23vs24, this is almost his ultimate long-cherished wish, and it was also the ace drama that he once wanted to create like the "Black and White" and "Magic Bird Showdown" in the 1980s, but every time due to various accidents, one side always missed the agreement in the finals. This
times, it finally succeeded.
Moreover, the drama on both sides is so abundant.
The Miami Heat are currently in 4 Finals and 2 consecutive championships. If they win another championship, they will create a legendary "Miami Dynasty". What a great honor? You have to know that the league has been a long time since the last dynasty.
The heroes have been divided for more than ten years, and there is an urgent need for a super legend to hold up the scene. James is only 2829 years old at the moment, which is the golden peak period of basketball players. Once successful, he may really have a chance to challenge Michael Jordan's throne of God.
Similarly, the Los Angeles Lakers failed to build a luxurious lineup last season, and Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon and was retired. This season, when everyone was not optimistic about it, they made a legendary rise, fought back all the way, and finally ended with the league's first record. Western Conference
In the finals, even after falling behind 0-3, they chased four consecutive sets, creating the largest series comeback record in NBA history. So the legend is equally abundant.
More importantly, Kobe Bryant somehow managed to have the "strongest season in history" this season, with first defense + MVP + scoring title, so it's not James who bullied him. A strong battle.
, a strong showdown, is there anything more amazing and exciting than this?
It's a pity that James has changed to wearing No. 6, so the gimmick can only be changed to 6VS24.
You don’t know, as soon as this promotional video came out, the entire media and the Internet exploded. It seemed that all the basketball topics suddenly became 6VS24, Miami Heat VS Los Angeles Lakers. It was different from the Spurs vs. Heat in the original time and space.
, the Spurs still lack star power, and Duncan is getting old and has long been relegated to the second line. What about the Lakers? It's the complete opposite.
Comey and James are probably the two people with the most online fans in the world.
I'm sorry, Jordan didn't have such a developed Internet in his day, and the generation that watched Jordan's games is already older, and they don't have as much energy as young people to fight on the Internet.
All kinds of saliva posts appeared like crazy overnight.
Who is better, Kobe or James?
Who is more useless to his teammates, Kobe or James?
Who, Kobe or James, improves his teammates more?
If you were a teammate of Kobe and James, who would you choose to play with?
To be fair, can non-FMVP championships and MVPs be of equal value?
As soon as you enter, there will be a conversation similar to this:
James is at his peak, Kobe is the second ring, James is very efficient, Kobe is a blacksmith, Kobe is 52...
It was as if years of grievances had finally exploded in one breath.
Especially now, James only has two championship rings, and obviously he can't beat Kobe's situation, so the competition between fans from both sides is extremely fierce.
I heard that in foreign countries, Comey and James pulled out guns and shot each other because of a quarrel!
I heard that there are roommates in China who are fighting with each other!
I heard that the canteen will temporarily add security guards to inspect it!
I heard that the probability of quarrels and fights on the basketball court has skyrocketed!
…
Anyway, right now, the basketball circle has been turned into a mess by the names of these two people.
Tang Qian also has a lot of fans in China, but because his current "weight" is not enough, he is happy and leisurely. Most of his fans have become Kobe supporters because Tang Qian plays for the Lakers.
There is no way, who told Tang Qian not to be in Miami?
As a football fan, you always have to love your home and your surroundings, right?
&, Yahoo and other major sports media also urgently arranged a "SHOW" to keep up with the public's enthusiasm and began to write special articles about the Lakers and Heat.
Another typical incident of taking sides.
If you pay more attention, you will know that these media are also biased.
For example, Kobe has his own "mouthpiece", the Los Angeles Times, Lakers Nation, Bleachers, etc., while James has ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. If you open these media and look at their reports, generally speaking, you will find obvious favoritism.
.
So the current result is that if you like the Heat or James, then please go to ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and the Miami Herald. If you like the Lakers or Kobe, then please go to the Los Angeles Times, Laker Nation, and Bleachers.
and T.N.T Sports. But generally speaking, James' "mouthpiece" is more authoritative and influential, so in terms of overall voice, James and the Heat still have to overpower Kobe and the Lakers.
As for the "tragic situation" in the country, let's not even mention it.
Compared to the United States, it can only be said to be even worse.
Of course, at this time, interviews with players from both sides will naturally come, which is also the main source of material for the "war of words" in the finals every year.
Some famous and classic examples of classic speeches also broke out and amplified in a concentrated manner before and after the finals.
For example, Duncan's "The future is yours". For example, Kobe's "I'm going to rip the heart out of Philadelphia" (this made Kobe himself booed every time he went to Philadelphia, and it wasn't until he got his championship ring that he slowly
pacify). For example, "Iverson crossed Tyronn Lue". Such as "Reed's return". Such as "Joe God's flu battle". It's simply too many to count.
During this period, the players "quarreled" with each other, which was also a highlight.
After all, they all want to be the first to win.
"I still say the same thing. Since I came to Miami, I will create a dynasty. I will win 7 championships for this city! And now you also know that it is only the second one! After I get the rest
Five years ago, I will not let Miami be defeated by any opponent! No matter who the opponent is," James said.
"The Lakers are very strong, but we will win because we are the 'now'! The 'now' belongs to Miami, not Los Angeles!" Wade, who likes to show off, said.
"I only know that now we are the defending champions." Bosh, one of the Big Three, said.
Of course, the Lakers would not show weakness to these. Kobe and Tang Qian both spoke back:
"The reason Miami won the championship before was because they didn't meet Los Angeles or the Lakers."
"It's absolutely impossible for James to complete the dynasty, at least in Miami! I bet you!"
"Do you think this series will go to a tie-break? NONONO~ It's impossible~ Because all the spirit of the tie-break in my life was used up in the last round~ I don't want to play a tie-break anymore.
It’s the same for everyone!”
Then a day later, these words reached the other party's ears through "reporters".
"The Lakers are very strong, but they can't beat us! Because I am KING in Miami! We are destined to become a dynasty!"
"I agree with the first half of LeBron's sentence, but in the end, I just want to say that he thinks too much. I still say the same thing, as long as I am here, he can't even try to win the championship! Well, it's that simple! I will challenge him one-on-one
Who's going to win? Of course it's me, I can fight with my eyes closed, okay? His name is LeBron, not Michael."
"I'm already stronger than last year, and I have my Miami brothers, we are a band of brothers!"
"Brotherhood? Why not say it is a brotherhood? Last year he said that he was 50 times stronger than in 2007, so now he is 100 times stronger than in 2007? Did he think he was watching Dragon Ball? (This comic is in
The American fire is basically known to everyone. Collect the seven dragon balls to summon the dragon. The old American’s Twitter is the source of this meme.) I am looking forward to a James whose combat power has increased 100 times to challenge me. Yes.
, this is what I, Tang Qian, said, no need to fight, the camera is pointed at me, I like to talk to people who have failed in pretending to be cool! ~ James, I’m waiting for you to come to the Lakers’ basket!”
All in all, this game has not even started yet, and the rendering in all aspects has basically reached its extreme.
The two traffic kings of the new century each lead their teams and finally meet in the finals. David Stern knows without even using statistics that the ratings of this year's NBA Finals will definitely, absolutely, absolutely break the historical record!
This may even be a monument that is difficult to break for many years to come.
The day before the finals started, Tang Qianqian reported to his family that he was safe, and at the same time sent a text message to other familiar people:
Please do not contact me before the finals are over. I am not free during this time and will not turn on my phone.
And this habit has become one of Tang Qian's most talked-about little habits in the future.
Fans in later generations called them "Final Tang" or "Shutdown Tang", which is an extension of this.
On June 5, 2014, U.S. time, the NBA Finals officially began.
The Lakers, who have home court advantage, are the first to welcome the defending champion, the Miami Heat.
PS: I don’t know why, but the weather here has dropped to about ten degrees, and it’s going to snow all of a sudden. Xiao Zi may not have paid attention, she seems to have a cold~ I’m dizzy, am I really getting old?
