Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 682: streak ended

The East presents the Nets’ dominance, and in the West, the Spurs’ return to the finals after a lapse of seven years seems to be a high probability event. Without Ibaka, there were serious problems with the Thunder team's inside help defense. Durant, who played as much as 45 minutes, was already desperate, but he was helpless with both fists and four hands. I just don’t know, in desperation, will he feel that the Thunder’s bench is so weak that no bench player can stand up and buy even two more minutes of rest for him; will he ever miss his good brother James? Harden, it was Harden who played hard in the Western Conference finals and helped the team collapse the Spurs.

Unconsciously, the Spurs ushered in Butler, and Parsons' growth and strength are obvious to all. And what about the Thunder? Harden, who won the best sixth man, was replaced by Holiday, just because the other party accepted a four-year, 44 million contract. Jeremy Lin, who was once in his hand, let go in vain, and now he is shining brightly in the Jazz. And then continue to shout the slogan of competing for the championship, which is actually exchanging immediate combat power for cheaper combat power or rookie contracts to achieve the purpose of saving money. To be honest, Durant is really a little disappointed in the comparison.

Especially when he finally survived until James gave up the kingship, but watched Curry overtake in a corner, this disappointment became more and more intense.

At this time, the Thunder officially announced an exciting news, the team's power forward Ibaka will return in the third game of the Western Conference finals!

The first time, Durant called Ibaka to stop him from this decision.

A round of a series is nothing, but a forced closure has a huge impact and will ruin a player's career. And speaking, even if the Thunder can break through the Spurs, there is an even more terrifying Nets ahead. Durant didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't deny it subjectively. The Thunder broke through the Nets' blockade this season and had little hope of winning the championship. ,, Ibaka really did not make such a big sacrifice for the dim hope in front of him.

However, Ibaka is not going to take back his decision, even if he knows that this matter will have a great impact in the future, he has already made up his mind.

When he heard the news, Jiang Mingliang didn't feel any trouble. On the contrary, he only felt that this Thunder team was about to start to disintegrate after all.

Compared with the previous life, Harden only exchanged Adams + Lamb + Martin for one-year use rights. In this life, the Thunder have been smarter in dealing with Harden's transactions, a young Holiday who has both offense and defense. It can be used for many years, and the first-round pick Olynyk is also a useful talent. In addition, Westbrook was not injured by Beverley, and he is still flying. Although the Thunder team is not as stunning as it was in 12 years, the lineup is becoming more and more stable. With the growth of this group of young people, the strength is actually slightly. promote. But once the closure is over, Ibaka will inevitably suffer an irreversible decline. It is really difficult to say where the entire Thunder team will go next, and whether it will eventually disintegrate.

Jiang Mingliang himself has coveted Durant for a long time. If there is a chance, the team will have the most leverage to complete this transaction and form one of the strongest duos/trios in history.

. . . . . . .

The physical condition has basically returned to normal. Jiang Mingliang, who has been recuperating for a long time, followed the team to Miami. At this stage of the playoffs, in principle, Jiang Mingliang will choose to stand with the team and "fight side by side".

And the Heat team up and down, this game is also united. The team has been cornered at this moment, and there is no way out. If there is another mistake in this game, a big score of 0:3 is equivalent to a death sentence for the Heat. If you want to keep going, James and Wade have no choice but to fight back.

To a certain extent, in the last game, the Heat once found a way to deal with the Nets, only to be destroyed by the X factor of Boban. But in essence, this line of thinking is correct. Following this dead end, Spoelstra made a certain degree of improvement. In training, he enhanced the players' fast-break positioning and running training, and implemented them into the game.

The refreshment of the Heat after the opening is one aspect, and the referee is more relaxed in the whistle-blowing scale is also one of the reasons why the Heat have taken the initiative since the opening. Wade and Mayo put a lot of effort on Curry at the beginning. Physical confrontation, including some dangerous actions, the referee turned a blind eye, which also made the Nets into a great passive. The game didn't go well, and Fernandez, who had a hot temperament, even had a conflict with Beasley during the game. After another attack, he was hit by the opponent's thug with the ball. Then the two sides almost fought, and the result was naturally One technical foul per person.

Boban's appearance did not contribute to the immediate effect of the previous game. If Boban can stably kill the opponent's inside line in the Eastern Conference finals, he is not Boban, but Yao Ming. He can indeed play with high efficiency, but the premise is that his teammates have to create a good attacking environment for him, and then he can feed back to his teammates to a certain extent.

In the first half of the game, the Nets fell behind by 17 points. Fortunately, before the second quarter, the backcourt combination of Curry and Ray Allen suddenly exerted strength, hitting 4 consecutive 3-pointers in 90 seconds, and 1. The tone narrowed the difference to 9 points.

Although it is still the leading party~www.wuxiahere.com~, the Heat felt the pressure of the Nets up and down, and they did not dare to relax when they returned to the locker room.

The Heat had some bad mentality that got them into trouble again in the third quarter. At the beginning of the second half, Fernandez used his position to find a shooting opportunity, hit the outside shot, and then stole Bosh's careless serve, jumped up directly, and completed the dunk. Instantly reduced the difference to 4 points, and forced Spoelstra to call a timeout 27 seconds into the third quarter.

After returning from the timeout, Bosh, who was under a lot of pressure, felt ashamed and brave, and hit the next four consecutive shots, scoring ten points in a row, helping the Heat to reopen the point difference.

Don't forget that Bosh is also a contract year this season. In the past few years with the Heat, Bosh's performance has been criticized. If there is no good playoff performance, what kind of contract can he get next summer? No one knows either.

The Nets continued to make accurate shots to put pressure on the Heat. However, James and Wade made fouls like a wolf and finally maintained the point difference until the end of the game. In the end, the Heat narrowly defeated the Nets at home 111:105, The big score was rewritten to 1:2, and at the same time, it also ended the Nets' 13-game winning streak in the playoffs.

Although he lost, Jiang Mingliang was satisfied with the performance of the players. In this game, the referee's whistling actually affected the fairness of the game, or it was excessive. From Jiang Mingliang's perspective, disputes, big and small, may add up to 20 points. In this case, the Nets only lost 6 points. In fact, the strength gap between the two sides is still very obvious.

In the next game, the Nets played steadily, and the odds of winning were at least 70%.
