On May 21, the Eastern Conference finals began.
The pistons have arrived in Charlotte ahead of schedule. Yao Ming had a dinner with Richard the night before and had a chat.
I didn't talk about the game. It's nothing to talk about. Winning is winning. It's all up to the East. It's impossible for anyone to release water.
They are mainly talking about the next draft.
Richard didn't hide it either, telling Yao Ming his idea of choosing Sun Yue.
He is not afraid of piston cutting Hu. Sun Yue's strength is not good. If it is in his own hands, he can use some props to support Sun Yue's strength, so that Sun Yue can mix in the league.
But if the pistons choose Sun Yue, Sun Yue will be fired by the pistons in less than a season. It will be the same when Richard is picking up Sun Yue.
I heard that Richard was not ready to use the top spot to choose Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming was slightly disappointed.
But the disappointment was only fleeting. He knew that Richard had his reasons for not electing Yi Jianlian.
Maybe the pirate team didn't have Yi Jianlian's position, which in Yao Ming's view should be the biggest possibility.
Yi's draft prospects are good. No matter which team is chosen, considering the vast Chinese market and Yi's good talent, it is unlikely that Yi will play as a substitute all the time.
There are so many talents available for the pirate team, especially for Milicic. If Yi Jianlian joins the team, the first competitor is Milicic
How can Yi Jianlian compete with Milicic? Last season, Milicic ranked third in MVP after Nowitzki and Yao Ming.
Such a league position, if Yi Jianlian's new melon egg gets rid of the starting position, that would be funny.
Don't say Milicic, Yao Ming feels Yi Jianlian can compete with Millsap is two things.
Yao Ming knows Richard well. He knows that in Richard's team, it's all about strength. If you don't have strength, even if you are his compatriot, Richard can't give too much preferential treatment.
……
Dongjue's G1 kick-off, which made Richard realize that the team can't really do without a super center.
Monin is now much better than Valerie Joe, but he is still at a disadvantage in front of Yao Ming.
The only thing to be thankful for is that this disadvantage is not so great as to make Richard unbearable.
If monen is not so strong, the pirate team can only send Valerie Joe to match Yao Ming. It's impossible to imagine what kind of scum Yao Ming will make of Valerie Joe.
Just a few minutes later, the idea of improving the strength of the internal line took root in Richard's mind.
Without a strong Super Center, Richard has no sense of security.
After getting Oden next year, Richard is going to find a way to get O'Neill. In this case, it's a double insurance.
Richard doesn't know if Oden can really fulfill his talent, but he has a lot of assurance.
As for O'Neill, he did well in the Suns, but it's hard to say whether the pirates can play the suns.
And O'Neill's experience is also a valuable asset for young centers.
……
As the game continued, Richard could clearly feel the referee favoring their pirate team.
He didn't think much about it. He thought it was the referee's home advantage
By the end of G1, the pirates had won seven points, but the seven point lead was actually a penalty advantage.
The pirates had 12 more free throws than the pistons in the game.
It can be seen that the strength of the pirate team is not much better than that of the piston.
It's the last two years that the pistons have lost their strength. I'm afraid the pirates will not be their match tonight if they change to the top pistons.
The win of the game made Richard a little scared, and the next G2 was to make Richard sweat behind the tension.
With the last three seconds to go, the pistons were one point ahead, and the referee blew Clarke's foul.
In fact, this foul belongs to the type of blow but not blow, which is more likely, but the referee blew it and gave Granger two free throws.
Granger withstood the pressure, made two free throws and shot Detroit.
The difference between the free throws of the pistons and the pirates is not small
Richard can't understand. What the hell is stern doing? How does stern feel like he's taking the pirates to the finals?
In fact, Richard is right. Now stern really wants to make Charlotte reach the final and win the championship.
Of course, it's impossible to deliver. Stern doesn't have that ability. The only thing he can do is to let the pirates get more free throws and less away disadvantages at home.If the pirate team's strength is not good, even Stern's taking care of the pirate team like this, it will not help.
In history, there are so many teams who have taken advantage of free throws that they have been hanged by their opponents in the series.
There are even teams that have been swept
Stern certainly didn't want to help Richard. His goal was to seize Charlotte's market with NFL.
If Charlotte can win this season, he will undoubtedly attract more fans for the pirate team. If he continues to be strong for a few years, he can accumulate a group of iron fans.
The consumption ability of fans is so much. Maybe they won't watch NFL games after watching NBA games. After all, the ticket money is not a small amount.
Stern in order to be able to serve in his own term, the NBA will be promoted to the second largest sports league in North America, it can be said that there is no need for its extreme.
Richard, as a beneficiary, would not say much even if he knew about it.
In addition, before Richard's pioneer and piston strong period, stern did not give Richard less obstacles, the number of free throws per game, Richard's team is less than the opponent.
But in the face of absolute strength, the number of free throws can be ignored.
……
It's Detroit's home court, but they didn't get any home court advantage. The referee whistled fairly.
This justice is just injustice to the piston.
However, with the strong performance of the players, the pistons still kept their home court.
To G4, it is Fengshui turn in turn. In this game, Granger played against the sky and scored 38 points in the whole game, leading the team directly to win this crucial game.
Granger is really too low-key, low-key to the piston side did not pay much attention to Granger this point.
The pistons put their defensive focus on the iron triangle of Milicic, igodara and Paul, which made Granger explode.
This game can be said to be Granger's fiendish battle. In this crucial game, dongjue scored 38 points with super high score, which directly brought Granger into the field of vision of the fans.
With a smart and elegant attack, clean and effective defense, and an approachable appearance, Granger suddenly became popular.
After four games, the pirates led 3-1, pushing the pistons to the edge of the cliff.
Naturally, the piston fans are not willing to play. After four games, they have no advantage in whistles. How could they be willing to play with the favoured pirate team of the League red fruit.
In the past, I'm afraid the piston fans have been able to spray their opponents into the sky, but because the opponent is Richard, they can't.
Richard is famous for their pistons. He led the pistons to win the championship twice. The jerseys were hung over the palace of Auburn mountain. How could fans spray Richard.
Not to Richard, the fans direct fire at stern
Stern doesn't care about this. As long as it's good for the league, he will not hesitate to stick to it even if he is criticized by many people.
Compared with Stern's great righteousness, sometimes Richard's actions seem to be petty.
But Richard didn't even think about why he was the Savior. He just wanted to make up for the regrets of his previous life and make his life happier.
……
East to G5, home to the pirates.
The importance of the game needless to say, the pirate stadium is full of countless fans. If it wasn't for the stadium not to sell tickets, it is estimated that the ceiling is now full of fans watching the game.
As long as we win this game, the pirate team will be able to reach the finals for the first time in the history of the team. This kind of game witnessing history, no one wants to miss it.
Not only the fans, but also many people came to the basketball circle.
Paul Allen came to watch the ball in person, with Tina and Jody, three people holding a baby, sitting on the sidelines.
The three children are almost two years old. When they see their father, they wave their hands and call for him.
Not only did the Richard family come, but also his cheap cousin, Bisley, came to the scene tonight.
To Richard's surprise, Durant and Curie were sitting next to the boy.
It's no surprise that Durant is sitting next to them. They are like conjoined babies. Before entering the league, they did everything together.
Durant's face was full of excitement. He knew that the pirates had won the top spot, and he had a 99.99% chance of being selected by Richard.
Henceforth, the pirate arena is the place where he plays. Durant grins to the back of his head.
I don't know what kind of expression he would have when he saw that he was chosen by the trailblazers.
As for Kuri's collusion with Bisley, Richard never thought of it.
But in a flash, both Bisley and Curie are about to join Purdue University. It's reasonable for them to get together.Seeing Bisley and Curie talking and laughing, Richard was very comfortable.
Curie is a good boy, really a good boy.
The family is harmonious, and I haven't heard of any dust incident in KULI.
The main thing is a good temper. No matter on or off the field, they are quite modest and respectful to their opponents and teammates.
Personal life habits are also quite positive energy. I have never heard Kuri complain about anything, let alone that he has been contaminated with drugs.
Beasley, a bastard, may be infected by the library and get rid of some stinking problems.
The talent of this product has no problem at all. The biggest problem is that there are many stinking problems. Basically, players can make stinking problems with this product.
Laziness, drugs, disobedience, arrogance
