Chapter 145: Is there a new Sheriff in town? The old Sheriff isn't planning on retiring just ye
Cleveland fans never expected that the Nuggets would only lose two games after coming out of the Western Conference!
Facing the 59-win Suns and the 67-win Mavericks, I played with ease. Both opponents were gentleman sweeps.
On the Suns side, Stoudemire and Nash are both first-team players, and Bell also entered the first defense.
On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki also had a while.
After all, Ryan has defeated three opponents in a row!
For comparison, in the 13 playoff games in his Eastern Conference career, Ajan only faced a total of 3 first-team opponents.
This shows how exaggerated the Nuggets' record is!
Not to mention Cleveland fans, even Denver fans themselves were surprised.
After all, the Suns and Mavericks are very good in the regular season.
The Mavericks even have only one fewer win than the Nuggets.
But in front of the Nuggets, they suddenly seemed to have become a 40-win team!
And the Nuggets have still maintained an unbeaten record at home from the regular season until now!
After all, the Nuggets are unbeaten in 49 games at home this year!
It’s like the red flag doesn’t fall down at home, but colorful flags flutter outside!
After playing in the Western Conference Finals, Jordan felt that his face had never been so painful.
He never imagined that he would be slapped hard after retiring after playing in the NBA for so many years!
Jordan said before that the Nuggets are not one of the best teams in history.
But now the Nuggets have a record of 49 wins and 0 losses at home, so Jordan must admit that the Nuggets are indeed extraordinary!
Take another look at the sculptures being made in my garden.
Jordan even wants to sell his team shares and bid farewell to the basketball circle completely!
Ryan was probably the first person who made Jordan feel like "basketball is not for me."
All the media have also blown up the Nuggets. Under this kind of record, even the media who don’t like Ryan have to be reluctant to say:
"He is the MVP. He has such strength. There is nothing to make a fuss about when he performs like this!"
At most, they reluctantly admit that Ryan is very strong, but there is no way to deny the strength of Ryan and the Nuggets this year!
The most damning thing is that the Nuggets came out of such a dangerous place in the West.
The Cavaliers are still fighting fiercely with the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals!
This makes it even more obvious that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Although the results of the Eastern Conference finals have not yet come out, many media have already made predictions for the finals:
"When all the Nuggets are healthy, no matter which team reaches the finals, it will be difficult to win the O'Brien Cup!"
The Nuggets won the championship, which has become the consensus of almost all media!
ESPN conducted a poll and asked all its commentators and guests to select the team that is likely to win the championship this year.
As a result, out of 13 people, 13 all chose the Nuggets.
Originally, ESPN wanted to invite these guests and commentators to engage in a verbal spat after voting to improve the program's effectiveness.
In the end, everyone voted unanimously, and there was no quarrel at all!
If you want everyone to argue, at least the two options must be evenly matched.
If you asked everyone to choose between the innocent school girl and the charming school girl, it would be really confusing.
But if you ask everyone to choose between the innocent school girl and the roommate No. 6, then the choice is completely meaningless!
In the eyes of all media, no matter who advances between the Cavaliers and Pistons, this will be like the Lakers VS Nets in 2002, with no suspense in the finals.
It is not difficult to imagine how angry Pistons fans and Cavaliers fans were when they saw such a vote.
They were still fighting desperately for a spot in the finals, but before they even made it to the finals, they were sentenced to death in advance.
Cavaliers fans and Pistons fans admit that the Nuggets' performance in the playoffs was indeed too strong.
But who can say for sure when it comes to basketball games?
The 1995 Rockets had only 47 wins in the regular season and were almost eliminated by the Jazz in the first round.
The 1995 Magic killed God's team along the way, and also killed Reggie Miller.
At that time, everyone felt that O'Neal's moment to become king was coming.
But in the end? The underdog Rockets not only defeated the Magic in the finals, but they also swept it 4-0!
The beating made O'Neal say: "Dameng is the first person to insult me on the court!"
Speaking more recently, the miracle of the civilian Pistons in 2004 is also close at hand.
Therefore, Cavaliers fans are not completely desperate yet. They are all looking forward to the team reaching the finals as soon as possible and then stage a counterattack from the lower position!
At this time, James happened to be playing the first truly legendary performance of his career in the battle against the Pistons!
In the last 22 minutes of the battle at Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference Finals, the entire Cavaliers had only one assist.
Because in these 22 minutes, the game belongs to one person's performance!
James attacked the Pistons inside again and again. Whether it was Hamilton or Prince, they were helpless against this super genius whose body was fully developed.
Last season, James was actually able to play with Hamilton and Prince at will, but the Pistons still had Big Ben guarding them inside.
Big Ben is still on the court this year, but he is wearing a Cavaliers jersey.
What should I do if I can’t figure out the opponent’s star? It's simple, either let him join or join him!
Without a big boss, the Pistons had no protection in front of James, allowing him to challenge him.
It was a literal confrontation, with Ajan speeding up the frame and violently dunking. After grabbing the defensive rebound, he directly accelerated the counterattack and wreaked havoc on the basket. He was unstoppable!
After hitting the back and his hands warmed up, James even played difficult three-pointers and step-back mid-range shots, which was amazing!
His will to win seemed to be poured into the basketball, making the basketball incredibly fly into the basket again and again.
Even in the face of a double attack, James can still miraculously score the ball.
As a result, an incredible record was born.
Among the Cavaliers' last 30 points in this game, James scored 29 points!
Except for Ben's two free throws, all the other points were scored by James!
In other words, James scored all the Cavaliers' last sports goals!
And among them, James scored 25 points in a row!
Under his god-level performance, the Cavaliers won the game 109-107!
It can be said that this is a victory that James alone carried the team to grab!
Ajan scored 48 points. Faced with such a performance, even Billups shook his head after the game:
"We threw everything we could at him to stop him, but to no avail!"
Pistons fans looked at James' No. 23 jersey, and even a hint of Jordan flashed through their minds.
After the game, the whole world was in an uproar.
It must be admitted that this is the true playoff masterpiece of James' career.
This is also one of the greatest games in NBA playoff history.
James seemed to have suddenly broken through himself on Mount Tianwang, suddenly woke up, and his desire to win was completely ignited.
At the press conference after the game, James also said righteously: "I will not allow myself to fail again! Our goal is the championship!"
I have to say that Azhan's performance in the East Jue Tianwang Mountain was indeed scary.
He seems to have intentionally responded to the recent public opinion with his performance, telling the world that the Cavaliers are not so easy to mess with!
We are not going to the finals to give away our lives!
There is no doubt that this game also gave Cavaliers fans greater confidence.
He scored 25 points in a row at the last minute. With such a superstar in hand, how could Katsura lose?
The miracles created by Olajuwon and the Pistons' Five Tigers will definitely happen to the Cavaliers!
After the legendary version of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the morale of the knights was greatly boosted. So G6 also won in one go, knocking out the former Eastern Conference king, the Detroit Pistons!
4 to 2, the Cavaliers entered the finals. After Wade VS Ryan last season, the young people from the 2003 class met again in the finals!
23VS0, Little Emperor VS Lion King. The finals that Stern has been promoting for a long time has indeed become a reality!
Everyone thought that there was no suspense in the game before, but James' performance in the Eastern Conference Finals at Tianwangshan was indeed too strong.
This can't help but make people have more expectations for James.
It also gave the Cleveland media the confidence to brag about Liu Bi.
James's favorite henchman, David McMinn, has received a lot of traffic during this period.
Because he wrote an article analyzing the Finals and predicted that the Cavaliers would win in six or seven games!
In his article, he first boasted about James' abilities.
Then he listed the data to express how good the Cavaliers' defense is.
And he believes that the reason why the Suns lost so miserably in the playoffs is because they didn't defend well.
The reason why the Mavericks lost the playoffs is because Nowitzki is too weak as the star player.
As for the knights, neither of these two points is a problem!
Let's not talk about defense. The Cavaliers' defense this season is far ahead of their peers.
And James, in the words of Mike Mainin:
"If there is a playoff MVP, it can only be LeBron!
When the team is in trouble, LeBron can score 25 points to take away the game.
When the team is in trouble, he is often the toughest player! The harder it gets, the harder it gets to the desperate moment!
What about Ryan? In the last round against the Mavericks, he stopped playing when he was flanked and couldn't carry the team.
In one game, Weber, Kirilenko and Ellis all scored 20 points, but Ryan did not score 20 points.
Is this also called a star player?
Don't let Ryan's simple-ball kills fool you.
In terms of the hardness of the star, he is definitely not as good as James!
James carried the team to the finals, while Ryan was carried to the finals by his strong teammates! "
I don’t know whether others believe Mike Mainin’s article, but the Kacun fans have been deceived.
They really believe at this moment that the Cavaliers can compete with the Nuggets, who have destroyed their opponents all the way in the playoffs.
Mike Manin is ESPN's own reporter, so ESPN can't say anything.
But on TNT's side, Sir Flying Pig couldn't stand it anymore.
“I have to give you a heads up.
Ryan is now a one-time championship, one-time DPOY, one-time Finals MVP, two-time regular season MVP, four-time All-Defensive First Team, and two-time All-NBA First Team.
In the same career length, LeBron has not won any of the above honors!
We are talking about two completely different levels of players!
We couldn't care less what Mike Manin said.
I admit that LeBron's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals at Tianwangshan was phenomenal. He's a good player and a good guy.
But in the finals, the Cavaliers may not win a game! "
Kenny Smith on the side laughed:
"Let me make it clear first that I don't know this fat man, and what he said has nothing to do with me. Charles, remember to bring the video of the show when you go to court."
Kenny Smith doesn't want James fans to flood the blog message area. Reggie Miller was forced to turn off the message function because his life was unsatisfactory before.
But Feizhu had an indifferent expression. As an old-school person, he didn't care about things on the Internet at all.
Later, Twitter offered him 3 million to register and use it, but Fliggy refused, saying: "No amount of money will allow me to communicate with some fools on the Internet. Some of them are very evil and stupid." people."
Therefore, Fliggy speaks out
"I'm telling the truth. Those reporters don't dare to speak directly about James, but I dare.
Mike Meinen said the Cavs defended well, and that's no problem. But when he said that the Cavaliers' star player is better than the Nuggets, he was just farting.
As for the blog comment section, it doesn’t matter, I hardly use that thing. "
The outspoken Feizhu didn't realize how much trouble he had caused. Early the next morning, Feizhu was woken up by Kenny Smith's phone call.
Kenny Smith's tone was very anxious: "Charles, please quickly take a look at your blog homepage!"
Feizhu rubbed his eyes: "Did you take the wrong medicine? I didn't post anything on it."
"You posted a lot of content last night, and it was very eye-catching."
"Last night? I went to bed after recording the show last night."
"Idiot, I mean, your account has been stolen!"
Feizhu quickly turned on the computer and clicked on his blog homepage.
Good guy, I don’t know who stole Fliggy’s account and posted a bunch of sexy pictures.
There are P-pictures of Barkley kneeling in front of James and surrendering, and there are P-pictures of Flying Pig lying on the ground licking Ryan's sneakers.
Although these P-pictures are different, the meaning is very clear and unified: "Flying Pig is Ryan's licking dog, but sooner or later he will succumb to LeBron's feet!"
Buckley was furious. Although he was very entertaining, these pictures were still extremely insulting to Fliggy.
He can be ridiculed crazily by Jordan and bullied by Sharks and Kenny.
But why do you, Azhan, step on my head?
He vowed that he would never use these messy things on the Internet again!
For a time, Fliggy’s account was stolen and there was a lot of commotion.
This also adds heat to the changes in this year's finals.
But after all, the account hacking was only done by the fans. Little did they know that James would soon end the game himself.
In an interview after training today, James said:
“You know, Sir Charles Flying Pig is an extremely good player.
But there were times when he was mistaken. At first he said that Yao Ming could not score 19 points in a single game, and then he kissed the donkey's butt.
He has long been a guy whose words cannot be trusted.
What makes what he says believable? Just because he's on TV?
He criticized Mike Manen's article and criticized me, saying I couldn't win a game in the Finals.
However, I don't need his respect at all because he hasn't won a single round of the finals.
Looking back at the 1993 Finals, John Paxson of the Bulls was taking free throws. Where was Barkley? He actually joked with Jordan at that time.
So, can he be considered a tough star player?
I'm tired of swallowing this, Ryan has been given high honors before.
But now, there's a new Sheriff in town! "
James' speech this time was very radical, and it was a direct anger against Barkley.
In fact, the two people's mutual anger will continue for the next ten years.
James felt that Barkley was not qualified to point fingers at him, and Barkley felt that James was exaggerated.
So this was just the beginning of countless fights between the two of them.
James personally came out and tore up the Flying Pig with his own hands, which may have made things more interesting.
Whether it is 2007 or 2023, eating melons will always be the biggest fun for fans.
When this matter exploded in traffic, it was naturally impossible for Ryan to stay out of it.
At the end of today's training, Ryan was surrounded by people in the locker room.
Reporters asked Ryan to comment on James' speech.
Ryan's tone was calm:
"I don't care what LeBron and Charles argue about, but
The old Sheriff isn't planning on retiring just yet! "
Ryan's words can be regarded as indicating his attitude.
He won't give up the championship!
Next, the two police chiefs will have a real battle in the finals!
Stern looked at this wave of traffic and was extremely happy.
James and Ryan are indeed the two largest traffic groups in the league, and their finals are so exciting!
There will be six or seven more games in the finals, and the league won't be able to make a profit?
No matter who wins or loses, it will be dramatic!
If James wins, it will create another era of two heroes competing for hegemony.
If Ryan wins, that's entry into the Emperor's Revenge 1.0 playbook.
But what Stern didn't expect at this time was.
The version of the script "The Emperor's Revenge" will be updated extremely quickly.
What's even more unexpected is that this year's finals won't be able to play as many as six or seven games.
Because in the first game of the Finals, the Cavaliers and James shocked the whole world.
Thanks for the tip from the guy who was sitting alone on the beach watching the sunrise, thank you all!
