Chapter 303 We Are the Champions

After a night of rest, the Clippers flew to Cleveland.

The accompanying staff wore championship ball caps and jerseys. Although they did not show them publicly, the whole team already knew that they would be able to wear clothes and hats only after winning two more games with the Cavaliers. Rookies such as Tucker and Millsap Discuss along the way how to celebrate.

The plane arrived at [-]:[-] p.m., and then took the bus to the hotel. Spoelstra announced a curfew as usual. Anyway, he was not allowed to leave the hotel to play at night during the finals.Su Yang set an example and asked Alba and Scarlett to live in another hotel.

After finishing the settlement and making some adjustments, the general manager Olshey came to report the discussion and said that Kaman did not get a good bargaining chip in the trading market, because Kaman's positioning is very embarrassing, he is young but not a rookie, he has some strength but not Superstar, cheap but not ordinary mid-capacity, starting salary at least 850 million US dollars, a typical pity to eat and discard, whether it is a strong team that is going to hit the championship, or a weak team that is about to rebuild, the demand for him is low. The key field goal percentage is only 45.1%.

In short, it is basically hopeless to exchange Kaman for a high-ranking draft pick, which will lead to the failure of the potential first-round draft plan. We can only fully promote the plan to select Gasol in the second round. He won't be able to enter the NBA until next year.

During the long regular season, the team definitely needs a backup center. If Kaman is sent away and Gasol does not come, it will be more troublesome. Then Varejao can only be used as the backup center, and then Bran will be arranged. Denbas became a backup power forward.

That kind of operation will cause new problems, because Varejao will also face a contract renewal next season, and playing as a substitute is tantamount to lowering the price.

"I have a bold idea!"

Olshey said excitedly, "Using Kaman and Millsap as the main body to sign with the Pistons first and then trade Billups, it happens that Billups wants to leave, and the probability of us directly recruiting Billups is low. After all, we are a three-peat championship team. It is difficult to accept Billups' personality, but the transaction is very different. The Pistons can also get some benefits. Most of them are willing to facilitate this, especially considering that the Pistons intend to enter Rebuild, maybe even give them two more first-round picks, what do you think?"

Su Yang thought quickly after hearing the words.

Kaman's stay is not a good result for him and the team, because Kaman needs a starting position and shooting rights, and the team needs a third superstar to support the next year's regular season. If Billups can be exchanged, then Definitely a win-win option.

What is more difficult is that the Pistons are not so determined to rebuild at present, and Kaman has not shown the ability to make people envious.

After thinking for a while, Su Yang nodded: "You can try, I will discuss with Spoel the plan to let Kaman play more than a dozen."

If it was the previous game against the Lakers, what would you do to make Kaman play more? Even from the fourth to the sixth game, Kaman did not get playing time, and the Cavaliers are too weak. They can temporarily show a wave of operations, but the effect cannot be guaranteed. How about it, it might be a mess.

"Anyway, give him a chance. As for the final result, there is no need to think too much for the time being. Let's take it one step at a time!" Su Yang made a decision, thinking that the current preference is to keep Milicic, but Milicic may not stay, who knows the future have what.

Olshey nodded to express his understanding, and mentioned that the plan to spend US dollars to buy the second-round pick or trade Barea to obtain the second-round pick is going relatively smoothly. There are four second-round picks this year, and they are willing to sell the 44th pick at a price of $200 million."

"purchase!"

Su Yang once again made a decision. The 44th pick has a high probability of picking Gasol Jr. Even if he doesn't come next season, it can be used as a talent reserve for Varejao who may leave in the summer. The cricket is only 200 million US dollars, which is a lot of money. Earn money in the sky.

"I have another idea..."

Olshey continued, "I intend to buy or trade to get a second-round draft pick to try to choose your compatriot and national teammate Sun Yue. This is not to please you, but if we trade Barea away, Pei Dunton chose to retire again, so even if the point guard gets Billups, he still needs a second backup point guard, and Sun Yue, as a big man, is in line with our tradition of tall point guards. Training and small-scale trial training in Los Angeles, the level is up to standard."

"You can choose if you think you can."

Su Yang felt that it didn't matter. The two Chinese on the same team would definitely cause some controversy. The Chinese are using nepotism to erode the interests of the NBA and other insane remarks. Moreover, the Great Sage, as a small player, is easy to be targeted after his debut.

But Dasheng definitely wants a chance. The butterfly effect is estimated to change the choice. The Lakers currently have Cassel.

"The plan is just these two for the time being. I don't think it's necessary for Josh McRoberts. We don't have the opportunity to train him slowly. Instead, we can wait for him to train for a period of time in the future before recruiting him, otherwise he will be easily wasted by us."

"Makes sense."

After talking for half an hour, the discussion is over.

Su Yang took care of the company's affairs for a while, and then took the whole team to dinner, chatting casually about the first black man who is expected to become the president.Iguodala and Payton were delighted that Obama was likely to win, saying there was finally a president of the same color.

Hearing such an exclamation, Su Yang almost laughed out loud, saying to himself that you don't know what you are about to experience, so just have fun.

After dinner, the whole team watched a movie together.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the hotel happened to be playing "Juno" starring Su Yang, and Payton complained about Su Yang's excellent acting skills, "The way you look at the heroine is really a good way to hide the fact that you are a sea king. so innocent..."

The whole team roared with laughter. Su Yang revealed that he has had relationships with at least ten women, and he actually played the role of a middle school student who fell in love for the first time.

Su Yang shrugged slightly, secretly pleased.

Back in the room, Su Yang found Si Bo and chatted about giving Kaman more time to play. He didn't say that it was basically tantamount to watching the goods, but Si Bo understood it in seconds, and also laughed at the fact that a wave of knights has no strength, and they can show off their operations unscrupulously. Remove Milicic.

Early the next morning, the team resumed joint training.

According to the plan, Spoelstra quietly let Kamando cooperate with the starting team for some time, and there were no obvious problems.

ESPN and TNT simultaneously discussed the upcoming third game.

What is rather strange is that the two TV stations did not give what the Cavaliers need to do well to win as usual. Instead, they focused on Su Yang's three-game FMVP + three-game MVP + three-game defense + most defensive player + after averaging a triple-double in the season The historical status, the Cavaliers are out by default, and the Cavaliers were so angry that they tweeted and called to complain, but ESPN and TNT didn't care.

"If Su Yang retires after winning the championship the day after tomorrow, I will rank him second in history. In my opinion, his personal legend has not lost to Jordan, especially when he defeated the US team in the two World Series. Jordan may not be able to lead the team. Other countries beat the U.S. Dream Team, and he is only short of Jordan in basic honors, especially in first-team and scoring titles, but far more than any other player."

"Su Yang said that he would play in the Premier League after four consecutive championships. Everyone thought it was a joke, but I think it is very possible because his company has opened a branch in the UK. He is a guy who is willing to challenge himself, and he is more The deep motivation should be to want positive Asians or Chinese people, even if they are not educated in the West throughout their youth, they can do anything.”

"I'm already expecting Su Yang's sneakers to operate independently like AJ. I guess he will spend money to buy absolute control from Nike, making the Qitian series sneakers his first attempt to enter the physical industry. After he is familiar with the purchase of raw materials and the production of finished products , logistics transportation, after-sales service and other processes, further try to manufacture smartphones and car manufacturing that he often mentioned..."

After all kinds of complaints, ESPN and TNT have successively released interviews and answers from the Cavaliers players, coaching staff, and management.

The outside world is unanimously optimistic that the Clippers will win the finals in four games. Head coach Mike Brown said with a smile: "Our Cleveland is indeed the team with worse records in the past, but we have beaten the Clippers in the past. Our home win rate this season is very good. , the Clippers first keep their two home courts, and then it is our turn to enjoy the home court advantage, and we will have a strong counterattack."

LeBron James said: "I have a good relationship with Su Yang. We started fighting in high school. We have back and forth. Our confrontation will continue. Maybe it will be like In 96 and 97, he was a rookie in two years. Duncan won the championship earlier in 97, but in 96, Iverson made it to the finals for the first time four years later..."

For many media and fans suggesting that LeBron leave Cleveland, owner Gilbert said: "He will never go anywhere. He will always be the pride of Cleveland. We will make aggressive moves in the summer, especially in the free market. We have decided to recruit at least two All-Star players, we will not hesitate to spend the luxury tax, and we will spend the long years with LeBron..."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the third game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers was played at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Perhaps it was a painful experience. The Cavaliers used rookie Daniel Gibson to replace Larry Hughes, who made offensive shots, missed passes, and defense only gambled and steals all kinds of misses. I probably hope that Gibson's three-pointers can be reproduced in Game 31 of the previous Eastern Conference Finals. The miracle of scoring [-] points against the Pistons, especially the [-]-for-[-] three-pointer, can better stretch the space for LeBron.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Clippers won the jump ball.

Su Yang advanced with the ball, seeing LeBron taking the initiative to lead the defense, he felt a little surprised, he raised his hand decisively to signal the team to disperse, then stopped at the top of the arc, bowed his body to lower his center of gravity, swayed in front of him continuously, and suddenly dropped his shoulders and started , deliberately sticking to LeBron, using LeBron's best bulldozer style breakthrough, forcibly crushing to the basket, taking off with the ball calmly, and making a layup steadily, without any interference.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

LeBron responded intentionally, and signaled the whole team to pull away from the same position at the top of the arc, slowly retreated to gather strength, and suddenly pushed the ball to the left.Su Yang saw it, and decisively moved laterally to intercept, collided at the left elbow, and forced LeBron to stop, and the referee whistled for blocking at the same time.

Although it was a foul, Su Yang thought it was worth it.

I just want to emphasize to LeBron that he can intercept his fiercest breakthroughs, don't think about rushing to the basket, just shoot honestly.

It is also a signal to the Clippers teammates, be tough!

With a little arrangement, the game continued, and the Cavaliers kicked off from the sideline.

LeBron once again singled out with the ball, Su Yang intercepted again in advance, and the rush to the basket eventually turned into a turnaround jumper, hitting the iron with a bang.

The Clippers got the rebound and launched a counterattack. Su Yang ran, thinking that he would cooperate with Kaman later, gave up the wide open space to chase the three-pointer, and hit the basket with the protection of the big Z. He deliberately slowed down the pace to let the big Z follow up, deftly drawing a blocking foul.

Immediately following the second attack, Su Yang took the ball at the top of the arc, found a screen to get rid of LeBron, and deliberately made a layup in front of Big Z.

Big Z wanted to defend but didn't dare to defend. Su Yang easily scored two points between the struggles, and Mike Brown clapped his hands rarely in anger.

Turning to the Cavaliers to attack, LeBron called the pick-and-roll, rushed to the right to attract Iguodala's defense, and hurriedly passed the ball to Daniel Gibson who got an open space in the right corner, followed by a three-pointer, but it may be Iguodala Pull back the anti-interference, strike iron.

The Clippers got the rebound and counterattacked, and Su Yang continued to rush to the basket, causing a big Z foul who was determined to defend.Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was forced to take advantage of free throws and arrange for substitute center Boland to appear on the field, and Spoelstra saw this and arranged for Kaman to appear simultaneously.

The Clippers' offense quickly turned into Kaman's low-post one-on-one drills.

With Ray Allen and Su Yang sitting in the guard, the Cavaliers did not dare to double-team. Kaman caught Bollard and beat him violently, fully demonstrating his low-post creeping ability, and scored five times in a row. But couldn't find any solution.

Kaman probably realized that the rest of the game was an opportunity to fully demonstrate. He performed well on the offensive end, and the defensive end was even fuller. He blocked LeBron's rush to the basket one after another, and actively blocked positions and grabbed rebounds. He suddenly played a bit like Dwight. howard.

As Kaman went crazy, the Clippers gradually took control of the situation, and the game became the same as the previous two games. It was very difficult for the Cavaliers to score.

In the third quarter of the game, Su Yang looked at the Cavaliers leading by another 30 points, and complained: "I hope next year's opponent is strong enough, otherwise it will be difficult for me to catch up with Michael Jordan in the finals with a 40-[-] sweep in the finals for three consecutive years." [-]+ scoring record..."

Peyton took the lead in raising his middle finger to despise the Versailles behavior.

Iguodala and others jokingly followed with contempt.

全场比赛打完，快船105比72击败骑士，苏扬三节打卡小砍30分11助攻，而勒布朗23投9中，三分球5投0中，拿到25分7助攻8篮板，还有5个失误3次犯规。

Daniel Gibson, who had high hopes for the Cavaliers before the game, was 10 for 0 under the alternating defense of Su Yang and Iguodala.

With a 3-0 lead in the series, Su Yang attended the post-match press conference and talked about his evaluation of Kaman's 28 points and 15 rebounds. Scale, large-scale running tactical system, he changed from starting to substitute, made a lot of happy sacrifices, and he never had any complaints, very professional..."

After the press conference, Su Yang accompanied Alba and Scarlett to visit the Cleveland Museum of Art, and saw Chinese history such as "Nine Songs", "Xishan Lanruo", "Palace" and "Fan Wang Li Buddha". Classic masterpiece, burst into tears on the spot.

Such unexpected behavior scared Alba and Scarlett to ask the reason, Su Yang shook his head and said it was nothing, we will talk when we go back.

Turning back to the hotel, Olshey came to find him, and happily said that there are already teams that want to restart the Kaman deal, but unfortunately there is no Pistons, probably because the Pistons managed to use Wilcox to prostitute Milicic. Layers have shadows.

"You can increase your strength and try again..." Su Yang made another decision. The knight is too weak, and he can completely change his formation at will.

48 hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the fourth game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers continued at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers changed again. Damon Jones, who has a stronger three-point ability, joined Daniel Gibson to replace the center Z. He formed five small starters with LeBron, Pavlovich and Drew Gooden. Speed ​​up every round.

The Clippers retreated in a timely manner, did not give the Cavaliers a chance to attack, and did not allow the inside line to attack the outside line due to the increase in the Cavaliers' shooters. The use of one-on-one defense and local three-defense and two-two alternately did not give the Cavaliers an easy breakthrough opportunity, or Just for LeBron.

LeBron didn't open, and the Cavaliers' offense collapsed.

After a wave of 18 to 4, Kaman came on the stage and continued to explode. The key was to match up with Big Z, who was temporarily on the bench. When asked why the 07 Finals was the most suspenseful event, everyone need not talk about the result, just say that the Clippers intend to let Kaman fight the contract."

During the complaints, the referees were too lazy to whistle against the Clippers. The gap in strength is too large, and forced control of the field will only increase the jokes.

With the Cavaliers substitute Shannon Brown hitting the iron with a super long three-pointer, the whistle sounded at the end of the game. The Clippers defeated the Cavaliers 103 to 82, eliminated the Cavaliers 4-0 in the series, and won the NBA 2006-2007 season championship.

Su Yang walked to the technical stage, hugged LeBron shoulder to shoulder, and said, "The same sentence, don't let loyalty hurt you."

LeBron nodded in understanding.

The championship award ceremony was held immediately, and Su Yang won the FMVP without any suspense to complete the three-way, all kinds of thanks.

At the same time, far away in Los Angeles, Jr. Buss announced that the Lakers will fight for another year with the original team and will operate at full capacity during the offseason; far away in Salt Lake City, Jazz point guard Fisher reached a contract termination with the management and went home to take care of him. Daughter's decision; Far away in Miami, Wade called Riley and offered to mention that he hoped to recruit Billups or Vince Carter with all his strength, or even his brother LeBron who had just lost.
