Basketball starts with breathing

The Spurs insisted on the trident of Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili at the beginning of the 20th century, and later signed Leonard and Aldridge. Except for these five players, almost all other players were low-paid, and the price was high.

The Spurs are either veteran contracts or rookie contracts. The Spurs have used all the methods that can take advantage of loopholes to save money. The amazing thing is that they have won five championships like this, which makes people unconvinced.

In contrast, the talents of the Suns are terrifying.In the future, the core players will stay, even if only three of them are kept, Haslem, Marion, and Lu Yu can challenge the Spurs. At this time, the "GDP combination" of the Spurs has not yet reached its peak.

The Sun was interviewed, and coach D'Antoni focused on praising Haslem.

"Haslem has been so good, we can't be the Western Conference champions without him."

Colangelo and his son, who were watching the game at home, attributed Haslem's good performance to Lu Yu's excellent organizational skills. As long as Lu Yu is there, it seems that some players with poor statistics before can play well.

In this way, the Suns have a clear direction for future signings, as long as they sign some players who can defend and catch and shoot.

Haslem played 30 minutes today, made 6 of 4 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 11 points. He only has an annual salary of 300 million.

Lu Yu was interviewed and commented on the future of Parker who praised the Spurs during the game.

"I think Tony Parker will become an All-Star in the future. He has the potential. He is fast, has a sharp breakthrough, and has a stable mid-range shot, but his long-range shot is slightly worse. He is like a weakened version of me. Although we are not playing in the same position, But I see my shadow in him."

Parker had tears in his eyes. At the beginning, because of Popovich's words, he asked Parker to learn more from Lu Yu, and he followed suit for a few years.

"As soon as Parker grows up, I think I'll spend more energy defending."

The reporter asked: "Do you mean that you didn't defend well today?"

"..." Lu Yu bit his lower lip, turned into an emoji, and waved his hand after a moment of silence, "Skip this question, let's talk about something else, such as how attractive topics like championships are."

Then, Lu Yu shouted the championship slogan. "I think the Suns will win the championship, I am very confident about it!"

That night, the Heat VS Pistons series was decided. The Pistons won 69-65 at home and advanced to the finals with a total score of 4-2.

活塞赢球的功臣是本·华莱士，他出战47分钟，靠力量顶死了奥尼尔。他第六战15投7中，罚球8中7，得到了21分15篮板5助攻。

Where is this Wallace, this is obviously Wolf King Garnett.

奥尼尔出战28分钟，8投2中，靠罚球勉强得到6分13篮板2助攻。

Whether O'Neal can win the championship is the biggest gimmick for the Heat. He originally thought that he came from the West to the East and was already invincible. No one in the East could beat them, just like when Lu Yu was in the East.

But it turned out that he met the Pistons.

Lu Yu is now the hottest because of his victory over the Spurs, and people began to discuss the possibility of him leading the Suns to establish a dynasty.

O'Neal is working hard to help the Heat enter the finals. After changing teams, he continues to prove that he is the number one center in the NBA. People are discussing whether he will jump out of his contract in the summer and renew a high-paying long-term contract with the Heat.

It ended up hitting the piston and knocking him out of shape.

Really can't do big, that guy doesn't know what to eat, so he has strength left. He is one of the few players in the East who can stand up to O'Neal.

The Heat's tragic elimination was not without bright spots. Their defense was very good, and the Pistons only scored 85 points in the game with the most.Embarrassingly, this is also the highest score of the two teams in a single game.

In the six games, the two teams scored over 80 points only three times in total, so their ratings were pitifully low, only half of that of the Western Conference Finals series.

In Lu Yu's previous life, in the first season when O'Neal joined the Heat, the Heat swept their opponents 4-0 in the first two rounds. The opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the Pistons who defeated O'Neal last year.

At that time, the Pistons were at their peak. Since 2003, the Pistons have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 6 consecutive seasons.

The two sides fought until the battle of Tianwangshan, and Wade was injured and left the game. Although the Heat won that game, the Heat without Wade quickly lost two games in a row.

This time the Heat lost even more completely.

This is no one else's fault. The Heat's offense has always remained at the superficial concept of "star hoarding", failing to condense the team's combat effectiveness to the end.

"Our defense was pretty good throughout the night." Coach Da Fan said frankly, "But besides giving the ball to O'Neal, we still need to find other ways to score."

The similar tone is so familiar. As early as a week ago, Da Fan denounced the seriousness of his men playing alone at the press conference. At that time, he said: "We need every boy to participate in tactics, and we need players to control and pass the ball. , Looking for open space, now our players are too obsessed with individual offense, and there are problems with positioning and covering."

The Heat's offensive system is not only "problematic", it can only be described as "terrible".

The Heat, which lacked three-point firepower, couldn't score high, and Wade's weakness was also exposed. He couldn't shoot mid-range and long-range shots. In the playoffs, he made a total of one three-pointer, 1 of 14.

So the loss to the Pistons is no surprise.

But the Pistons' entry into the finals gave NBA president David Stern a bit of a headache. His original idea was to let O'Neal and Lu Yu, the two top centers in the East and West, collide with each other, so that there would be enough gimmicks to increase the ratings.

Who knew that the Heat were so unlucky that they asked the referee to help, but they were still devastated and lost directly.

Fans regret not being able to see O'Neal and Lu Yu meet in the Finals, but the Heat have done enough this year, and they should be able to beat the Pistons if they have a good point guard.

The Pistons are really a box office poison and a ratings killer. There are not many fans online to support them.People don't want to see the Iron Bucks team win the championship, the Suns play much better, and the stars soar.

At the press conference after the team's promotion, when mentioning the Suns, everyone in the Pistons was low-key, including the head coach Larry Brown. He said he would do his best in the finals.

Even so, the media did not let go of the Pistons after the game. Many people said that there was no suspense in the finals, because the Pistons were already scared.

"They dare not say that they won the championship, they dare not say that they defended Lu Yu. The end of the Spurs made everyone understand how terrible it is to provoke Lu Yu."

"Larry Brown has long been impressed by Lu Yu. He scored 50 points in his rookie season and beat Iverson hard. Although Billups performed well this year, he can be better than Iverson. okay?"

"The Pistons are better defensively than the Spurs, but their offense is so poor, so what if they can limit the Suns to 100 points? They often don't even get 80 points."

Before the game started, people felt that the Suns would win the finals.This is normal. The Lakers, who had a disorganized lineup in the previous life, reached the finals, and their support rate far outperformed the Pistons.

In an interview, both O'Neal and Wade praised Lu Yu, expressing their optimism for the Suns to win the championship.

Online, fans think so too...

By the way, before the results of the Eastern Conference game came out, a reporter asked Lu Yu about the matchup in the finals: "Which team in the Eastern Conference do you think will advance?"

"Pistons, to be precise, I want the Pistons to enter the finals." Lu Yu smiled.

Another reporter asked: "Why? Do the Pistons have anyone you want to play against?"

"No, because I think the Pistons are easier to play."

This Pistons is indeed much easier to play, because this Pistons team doesn't even have Hamilton. Lu Yu can't figure out how the Pistons without Hamilton beat the Heat. In the previous life, Hamilton even played a tie-breaker. Now without Hamilton, they go straight to 4 Beat the Heat by 2.

This unscientific.

Both teams have plenty of rest time to prepare for the game. On June 6, the first game of the finals will start in Phoenix.

The arena at the American Airlines Center is full. It was renovated in 2003 and can accommodate 19000 spectators. Tickets are still hard to come by.

The reporter interviewed some spectators at the entrance of the arena. No matter men, women or children, they all believed that Solar won the championship for the same reason, because they had the best players in the league.

The fans wanted to witness the historical moment when the Suns won the championship for the first time, and the management generously distributed commemorative T-shirts to them.

Star reporter Jenny went to Phoenix to interview Lu Yu and asked him to predict the game before the game.

One of the most regrettable things for Jenny is that she didn't get into Lu Yu's bed.

As a reporter, she knew some gossip. When she knew who the women Lu Yu might be related to, she knew that the reason why she couldn't get into bed was because she wasn't good-looking enough.

Lu Yu doesn't like that kind of thick body, otherwise Kardashian would not be unable to attract him.

Lu Yu said: "We will win, but it is very difficult for fans to participate in the celebration of winning the championship. After all, the schedule is 22111. I think we can end the game in the fourth game. The Pistons have home court advantage."

"What kind of home court advantage is this?" Jenny laughed and complained, "Aren't you worried that the Pistons will be upset?"

"If they are upset, I would say that we will win the championship at home in Phoenix, but if they can play five games, it means that they have already been upset once. In fact, I think the probability of sweeping is higher." Lu Yu intentionally After a pause, he smiled and said, "In this finals, the Suns will prove that the offense wins the fans, wins the championship, and I don't know what the defense wins. I'll ask the Pistons about this in the future."

This interview was broadcast before the start of the game, and the core self-confidence of the two teams is not at the same level at all.

The core of the Pistons is not clear until now. The newly arrived Rasheed Wallace is definitely not, and Billups is not like it. The core of Larry Brown's heart is Ben Wallace.

Daben refused to accept interviews, got off the back of the bus with an afro expression on his head, and went into the stadium...

Before the start of the finals, some fans on the Internet edited a funny video called "Two extreme defenses, Lu Yu in the regular season and playoffs".

In the regular season, Lu Yu's defense was so-so, and unknown players often scored on Lu Yu's head.

Sometimes when the opponent breaks through, Lu Yu straightens his body and looks up at the sky, which is really embarrassing to the limit. Uchiha Harden's Sharingan and Lu Yu's Kaleidoscope Sharingan are completely incomparable.

The second half of the video is a collection of Lu Yu's defense in the playoffs. He is close-fitting, quickly chasing and defending to interfere with shots, defending the frame with accurate predictions and reaching out for steals, and assisting in stealing steals from behind.

In the video, there is a helpless expression of the point guard facing him, and the statistics of Lu Yu and the players facing him in each round of the playoffs are listed with subtitles.

After watching this video, fans can understand why Lu Yu is called No.1 in the league. In the regular season, he got the highest winning percentage of the season by playing casually. In the playoffs, he is a defensive expert. Other teams want to score in the paint The difficulty rises linearly.

From the perspective of the playoffs, the Suns are a team with three defensive experts.

Battier defends the perimeter, Marion defends the striker, and Lu Yu defends the interior. The Suns don't need to double-team at all, but the Pistons will definitely not be able to double-team Lu Yu. This is the biggest advantage of the Suns.

Because Lu Yu is not O'Neal, he will not compete with Daben on the inside, Daben can win O'Neal, but can his lateral movement speed keep up with Lu Yu?
The first game started immediately. As soon as Lu Yu came out, the home fans cheered loudly, and the morale of the Suns exploded for the Pistons.Except for some stars and celebrities who came to watch the game in the front row, many fans spontaneously uniformed their uniforms and wore Lu Yu's No. 10 jersey.

Big Ben was booed by the fans when he played. The reason is very simple. Ben Wallace is Lu Yu's opponent. The key is that he is not as good-looking as Lu Yu. Yu's grade, the fans were upset.

The starting lineup of the Suns has not changed, it is still Nash, Richardson, Marion, Haslem and Lu Yu.

D'Antoni didn't even think it was necessary to let Nash play a false starter. It would be fine for Nash to play a real starter. He felt that the offense could defeat the Pistons. If Battier started the defense, it would be really good. There is no need to defend desperately.

Five Pistons: Billups, Larry Hughes, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace.

In fact, the reason why the Pistons this season is different from Lu Yu's previous life is because Hamilton, one of the five tigers, remained with the Bulls and became the current Larry Hughes.

Hughes, who had a mediocre defense and was more offensive than defensive, unexpectedly practiced defensive skills in the Pistons.

And the offensive method has not yet fallen, which is why the Pistons can easily solve the Heat 4-2. After all, Hughes can rank among the top [-] in the league in scoring this season.

The most important thing is that Hughes has a good three-point ability.

This year's playoffs, Hughes is in a brave state, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage is 42.9%.

Now Hughes is the strongest offensive point of this team,

But it doesn't look that strong.

This is also the reason why D'Antoni didn't send Battier. Since the opponent doesn't have a strong point of attack, he should just use his own offense to take away the opponent.
