NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 217 Game , Lin Chuan watched the game, Wade complained
Lin Chuan slept for a long time before waking up.

Since they defeated the Spurs, although the playoff journey is not over yet, Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the regular season, he never expected that there would be a team in the playoffs that could play seven games with them.

And that team even has an average main player age of over 30 years old.

Although Lin Chuan knew that the Spurs should have made it to the finals this season, they even fought seven games with the Heat in the East before narrowly losing the game.

But being pushed to the brink of collapse several times in this series was something he had never imagined.

Now that he had finally defeated his opponent, Lin Chuan had to give himself two days off no matter what.

Not to mention, his nose is still broken and has not healed yet.

Playing a game with a broken bone is very exhausting.

As for last night's game, he didn't even pay attention to it and went to rest.

Today, the first thing he did when he got up was to open his phone to check the results of yesterday's game.

"The Knicks were defeated by the weak Heat in the decisive battle, and the sixth game was played at the American Airlines Center. According to the situation of the Knicks, they should have been eliminated yesterday..."

Lin Chuan thought so and found the results of the game.

110: 108.

The Knicks defeated the Heat and dragged the game into a tiebreaker!
Ok?
Lin Chuan's eyes widened. He didn't expect the Knicks to be so strong.

even……

Anthony's buzzer beater?

Or a buzzer beater?!
Lin Chuan was even more surprised.

I knew he was good at key shots, but I didn't expect him to be so strong.

Even the buzzer-beating shot in the playoffs was made.

After looking at the data, Lin Chuan discovered that with Anthony scoring more than 40 points for the Knicks, the second highest scorer was actually Tyson Chandler.

This defensive center scored 14 points in the third quarter of yesterday's game and 28 points in the whole game, which also broke his single-game playoff scoring record.

As for the Heat, James scored a triple-double of 30 points, while Wade scored the second-highest 23 points on the team. It seemed that both players did not have any major problems in their performance.

However, the team's third star, Bosh, performed very averagely.

He only scored 13 points and 6 rebounds in the whole game.

It seems that the Knicks were able to get through this difficult time only because Chandler beat Bosh?

After looking at the data, Lin Chuan couldn't help but have some speculations about this game.

However, when Lin Chuan scrolled down, he found that many of the tweets with the game tag on Twitter were cursing James.

Some of them even look like fans of the Heat based on their IDs.

Will I be scolded for getting 60+ triple-doubles with a 30% hit rate?
Lin Chuan was a little surprised.

Or is this his familiar style of filling up data?

In fact, the impact of the game is not that great?
He suddenly regretted going to bed too early yesterday and not watching the live broadcast of the game.

If he had turned on the TV yesterday, he could have gotten answers to all his questions about the game.

Pity!
However, there is still one day before the next game, so Lin Chuan might as well go and take a look.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan immediately looked at the tickets for the seventh game between the Knicks and the Heat.

As expected, it is gone.

But Lin Chuan still used his little financial ability and successfully got a ticket to the game.

After confirming that he could go to watch the game in person, Lin Chuan booked a plane ticket without delay.

By the time they had finished their meal, they had already arrived at several venues and were ready to go to the Knicks.

........................

In the afternoon, Durant wanted to practice basketball with Lin Chuan, so he called him.

However, several consecutive calls did not go through.

Durant thought Lin Chuan was probably still sleeping.

After all, the previous games were too exhausting, so it makes sense to take more time to rest.

In the phone recording, Durant said,
"Remember to call me when you wake up, and come to the gym later for training. The finals are coming up soon, so don't slack off."

After sending the message, he drove to the gym and started his shooting training alone.

He didn't know that Lin Chuan was on a plane to New York at this moment, waiting for tomorrow's game.

A few hours later, Lin Chuan landed in New York.

After waiting to check into the hotel, he finally had time to open his phone to check if there was any message he had missed today.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Durant's voice message.

After hearing this, Lin Chuan wanted to laugh.

Still practicing ball.

Isn’t the most important thing now to go and watch the game live and see the situation of the opponents you may meet in the next round?

Lin Chuan called back without saying a word.

"Hello, this is Durant."

Coming from the other end of the phone was Durant's panting voice.

It's not hard to tell that he has been training for a long time, which is why he sounds so tired.

"it's me."

Durant perked up and recognized the person on the other end of the line.

"Lin? Did you sleep all day today? Why did you just hear my voice message now? Man, it's getting dark, you can't slack off for so long! We haven't reached the off-season yet, at least wait until after the finals before playing badly!"

"Who told you I was tanking today? I'm in New York, Kevin."

Lin Chuan quickly spoke up, interrupting Durant who was chattering.

He was afraid that if he remained silent for a while longer, Durant would talk to him for an hour.

I will talk to him later about what he experienced during training today and what he encountered.

"New York? Why did you suddenly run so far?"

Hearing that Lin Chuan had crossed most of the United States and arrived in the east of the United States, the largest city in the United States, New York, he was stunned.

"Dude, are you really not going to practice? Or is there something urgent? But you're not from New York, are you? Besides, the Eastern Conference Finals will start tomorrow, and our opponent in the Finals will be out soon. Come back quickly so we can analyze the situation together and make targeted decisions."

"Come on, stop guessing."

Lin Chuan said,
"I came to New York to watch tomorrow's game, the Heat and the Knicks game seven."

"Fuck! You're going to see it live right now?!"

When Durant heard that Lin Chuan actually chose to go to the scene to watch the game, he immediately became restless.

"I didn't even buy a ticket, how come you went!"

"Shit! As soon as the game ended last night, I thought of going to the scene to collect some information, but when I was about to buy tickets, I found that they were all sold out! Damn New York, big cities are just popular!"

Speaking of this, Durant couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He also didn't understand why he didn't buy the ticket, but Lin Chuan, who went to bed much earlier than him, bought one and was very active and had already arrived in New York City.

"Hehe, this is the power of money, learn from it!"

Lin Chuan laughed loudly, mocking Durant for being too naive and not even thinking of any special means. He then explained to him various means of grabbing tickets, such as scalpers and technology.

"Fuck, so this is the power of high technology."

Durant was stunned by Lin Chuan's words. He suddenly realized why he had been preparing to buy tickets at the first opportunity but could only see that all the tickets were sold out.

After explaining the current situation, Lin Chuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Durant anymore. He hung up the phone and went to the hotel gym to exercise for a while.

There is no stadium here, and it is not safe to practice on the baseball field.

After all, the risk level in downtown New York City is extremely high at night, and Lin Chuan doesn't want to risk his own life to verify whether the world's largest city is safe.

Although he is a basketball player who is over 2.1 meters tall and has a lot of muscles, compared to the Glocks in the hands of those black guys, these muscles can only allow him to rest for a few seconds at night.

I don’t have time to practice basketball, but I still have opportunities to practice my physical fitness and strength in the hotel.

There was a gym downstairs. Lin Chuan took the water provided by the hotel and went to the gym.

Today was supposed to be a leg training day, but Lin Chuan comforted himself by saying that he had to watch a game tomorrow. He was unfamiliar with New York and if he trained his legs he would not be able to run away if he encountered danger, so he forced himself to change it to chest training.

An hour later, Lin Chuan was sweating profusely.

It's time to take a bath.

Thinking so, Lin Chuan sat up from the chair and walked towards the shower room.

When he finished taking a shower and was about to come out, he heard the sounds of other people exercising in the gym.

It’s so late, is there anyone else coming to exercise?

Lin Chuan was a little curious. After all, training in the gym at 12 o'clock didn't sound like a healthy behavior.

Staying up late to exercise, I don’t know whether it is good or bad for my health.

Out of curiosity, Lin Chuan stuck his head out and took a look.

He saw a strong black man about 1.9 meters tall doing squats with his back to him.

This kind of perseverance made Lin Chuan look at him sideways.

Staying up late to train your legs, you probably won’t be planning to go to work tomorrow.

And this figure...

The arms and legs have very obvious muscle lines, and the circumference looks quite large.

You know, this black man is about 40 meters tall. If he wants to look strong to the naked eye, his arms must have a circumference of at least cm.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This old Mi has an amazing physique. He accidentally met a man who was working out in the hotel. He was extremely strong.

If Chinese people also train like this, everyone's physical fitness will improve a lot.

Lin Chuan sighed as the black man in front of him finished a set of squats and turned around to find a chair to sit on and rest for a while.

Only then did he see clearly the face of the man who also came to the gym to exercise.

Those cheeks, those eyes, the person coming, isn't it Wade? !
Lin Chuan immediately called out to the other party and greeted him.

Wade looked up and saw that the other person was Lin Chuan, and his eyes widened.

He didn't expect to see the other person here.

After several conversations, Wade realized that Lin Chuan had come to New York specifically to watch their game against the Knicks.

After chatting for a while, the two also talked about the current game.

Wade couldn't help but sigh and looked at Lin Chuan.

Although Lin Chuan was the man who shattered their hopes of winning the championship last season, there was no barrier between the two at this time.

What happens on the court stays on the court, and there are no conflicts off the court.

"It's a pity that we lost the last game. We clearly had a good chance to win. It was at home, and it was a life-and-death battle between our opponents. We would advance if we won."

"Then why did we lose? I didn't watch the game video, but after looking at the stats, I think everyone was pretty good. Was it just that we had bad luck?"

Lin Chuan asked.

Wade shook his head and denied Lin Chuan's guess.

"Not really, but it's hard to say..."

Wade wanted to complain, but if they advanced, Lin Chuan on the opposite side would be their opponent in the finals.

If we tell the other team about the bad things that happened in the team, wouldn't we be actively exposing our weaknesses to the opponent?

This also made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Just sighed a few more times.

Then he suddenly asked,

"Lin, how is the atmosphere in your team? Or rather, is it among your stars?"

Wade suddenly asked a question that made Lin Chuan a little confused, but he still answered honestly,
"To be honest, everyone has a very good relationship. Maybe it's because they are all young people? The bosses don't fight for the ball very much. During the game, whoever is in good condition will be the main attacker or the main point guard, and the others will be the assistants. Although there have been some minor frictions in the middle, they were quickly resolved."

After hearing Lin Chuan's answer, Wade also looked at his expression, which was very sincere and did not seem fake.

Hearing this, Wade sighed again.

He didn't expect that among brothers, the gap between people would be so huge.

Lin Chuan smiled and said,
"Why do you keep sighing? Tomorrow is your seventh game. Do you have no confidence?"

Wade shook his head and said bitterly,

"You don't understand, this isn't about basketball."

Lin Chuan was still curious and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wade brushed them all off.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to say goodbye.

Watching Lin Chuan leave, Wade took a quick shower and returned to his room.

Lying in bed, he thought about last year's finals again.

Lin Chuan, who had just come on the court at that time, unexpectedly broke out and forcibly changed the score.

In the last two games, even though he was a player coming off the bench, Durant, Westbrook, and Harden in the team did not care about his identity. As long as he had a chance, they would definitely give him the ball.

This also made him the absolute main force in the last two games.

It was a relationship Wade envied.

Because at this moment, he thought of the game clips of the past three years since he teamed up with James.

In the first year, James, who had just won two MVPs, actually scored 8 points in a single game in the finals and averaged less than 20 points per game in the series.

He even made mistakes in the back-to-back rounds against Barea, who was more than 20 centimeters shorter than him.

He originally thought that such an outrageous performance was due to the other party's lack of skill in beating the second-in-command.

But so much time has passed, and he now increasingly suspects that the other person was actually playing him at the time.

The purpose is to become the boss.

If he can't be the boss and can't get the FMVP, he would rather not have the championship.

I would rather be the uncrowned proud child of heaven.

Ugh!
Wade sighed. He never thought that he would be so disappointed with this good brother of many years.

Maybe at that time, it would have been better for him and myself if he had not joined the Heat.

Although he would be fighting a life-and-death battle tomorrow, these things haunted him like a nightmare, causing him to not get a good rest.
