The 22nd, the game day of Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

On this day, Dayao's divine performance last night won widespread praise from the media.

In a small hotel in Portland, Zhang Lili was flipping through some newspapers and suddenly said with emotion: "Yao Yao's character is ten times more humble than Tie Jun's, and there is no violence, Tie Jun's domineering, and no scandals. Typical traditional Chinese*

The image of Chinese people, not only in the United States, but even at home, the media seems to be more willing to support him. In terms of personal image, he is better than Tie Jun and can be called a social model. Look at these American media, almost no bad words are said about him

of.

Tiejun, on the other hand, is violent, domineering, and even rude. He is sometimes unfriendly to the media and has no humility. In fact, he has never been very popular with the American media. The most important thing is that he has achieved too many achievements and is under pressure.

American superstars can't turn around in ten years. This is Tiejun's original sin!

Especially now that he is in his thirties, he is still so strong and will continue to dominate the league without end, and he is even less popular with the American media.

Alas, the American thinking is: If you are too strong, it is your fault. If you are weaker and you are not a threat to us, we will like you.

Su Qun, do you think I am right?"

"Yes, yes, haha..."

Su Qun fell down laughing and couldn't answer the question.

In this game, the Suns played away from home, and most of the players still performed mediocrely. The Blazers finally took advantage of their home court to win, and the Suns lost by 5 points.

At the end of the game, the three main players, Duncan, Randolph, and Payton, were so tired that they lay directly on the floor.

Lao Wang was a little unhappy. His performance today was not ideal. He only scored 24 points and shot 55%. The main reason was that the home whistle was too far away.

Duncan stared at him and deliberately caused a foul on him. Several referees stared at him and fouled him prematurely. He committed his first foul in the second minute of the first quarter. In the fifth minute, he was called for an offensive foul because he knocked over Duncan during the offense.

He sat on the bench and only played intermittently for 31 minutes.

He didn't get many whistles on the offensive end, and only made 6 free throws. Several of Duncan's suspected fouls against him were not seen by the referee.

When he was not on the court, more than half of the Suns' defense collapsed, especially the poor inside defense. Stoudemire played the fifth position, and Marion played the fourth position. They were not tall enough and had not enough tonnage. They were left behind by Duncan and Lang.

Dove was blown away.

Duncan scored 32 points, Randolph scored 21 points, and the two combined to contribute 53 points and 24 rebounds.

The outside line is a little better. When he comes off the court, Zhu Fangyu plays the third position. The defense is good and can fill most of Marion's defensive energy, but it is not as good as when Marion plays the third position.

Back in the locker room, Lao Wang accepted the "comfort" from Dayao.

An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.

"Old K, are you worried about being equalized in the away game?" a reporter asked.

"Even if we get equalized, it doesn't matter." Lao Wang said easily.

"Why? I know you definitely care about winning or losing." the reporter asked.

"Because our advantages are getting bigger and bigger."

Lao Wang further explained: "Did you see Duncan and several other Blazers' main players lying on the floor at the end of the game?"

After the reporters nodded, he continued: "They are working hard. Even with the advantage of home court, they can only win with a slight advantage, but we still have the strength to spare. This is our advantage in the series.

When our advantages accumulate, no one can stop us from heading to the finals, and victory in the series will come naturally."

On the 23rd, Lao Wang did not perform well and was directly demoted to the floor by the media. Duncan and Randolph, who performed well, were promoted to the sky by the American media and became the Portland Gemini.

In the evening, the Eastern Conference finals were played in a different location. Dayao did not perform as well as he did in the previous game, but the Pistons played iron-like defense and defeated the Nets, taking the advantage with a big score of two to one.

On the 24th, the game day of G4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Last night, the teams of the two Chinese nationals both lost. The American media immediately became excited. The Trail Blazers and Pistons were touted as super strong teams. All major media outlets raised the chances of the two teams winning the championship.

ESPN has updated the predictions of the four teams' championship chances. The Suns have been lowered to 30%, the Trail Blazers are 25%, the Pistons are 25%, and the Nets are 20%.

This prediction is relatively rational and has been recognized by many fans and has been reproduced by many media.

While having breakfast, Lao Wang saw ESPN's predicted probability of winning the championship and felt a little bit in agreement. The probability of winning the championship of the three teams including the Trail Blazers was indeed similar.

After breakfast and drinking coffee, several media stationed there obtained permission from the team management to come over for interviews.

"Old K, what do you think of ESPN's prediction of winning the championship?" a reporter asked.

Lao Wang hesitated for a moment and said: "It's okay. The Trail Blazers, Pistons, and Nets are all at the same level. ESPN gives them three similar winning chances."

"Do you completely agree? Do you have any different opinions?" A somewhat disappointed reporter asked expectantly.

Lao Wang chuckled, and several reporters suddenly became excited. They all worked with Lao K all year round and were very familiar with Lao K. When they saw this expression, they knew there was a reversal.

Sure enough, Lao Wang then said: "The difference is almost the same, but the probability given to them by ESPN is a bit high. It's not necessary to say 25% or 20%. I think the three of them together can account for 1%. This is more accurate. You guys

What do you think?"

"Pfft! Haha..."

Several reporters and Lao Wang's teammates burst into laughter.

Lao Wang's words were subsequently posted on the websites of these media outlets and were widely disseminated.

"Ben, Old K said that the Pistons, Nets, and Trail Blazers have a combined winning probability of only 1%. What do you think of his prediction level?"

Immediately, a reporter interviewed Ben Wallace, who went out to throw away garbage bags.

"What did Lao K say? When did he say it? Why didn't I know?" Ben was a little confused. He didn't like to play online.

"Yes, the interview I just accepted was reported online," the reporter said.

Da Ben thought for a while and said with a smile: "The game is a game, off the court is off the court, he is the boss off the court, no matter what he says."

"You have no objection?" the reporter asked in surprise.

"No, although I only played with him for one year, he gave me the opportunity to enter the league. It was he who taught me how to defend, how to rebound, and how to train strength. He also taught me

I respect him as a leader. Except for games, he does whatever he says. Charles Oakley is my big brother, and so is he." Ben said seriously.

Some reporters also rushed to Rashid Valais’ doorstep and interviewed him.

"He said our three teams combined only have 1%? Haha..."

After hearing the reporter's words, Rashid Valais couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Rashid, aren't you angry that Mr. K looks down on your team?" the reporter asked in surprise.

"Why should I be angry? If the Pistons can't beat the Suns, then I will join the Suns, haha... I won't say any more. I'm going to call Old K and ask him to leave a spot for me." Rashidwal came.

The scholar laughed and said.

"..."

The reporter was stunned. If I can't beat you, I will join you. How can I still do this?

Some reporters went to the hotel where the Nets were staying. It happened that the Nets had just had breakfast. After being allowed, they interviewed Kidd and Dayao at the dining table.

"Jason, Yao, have you seen the interview Lao K just gave? It's online." the reporter asked.

"See, he said that our three teams combined have only a 1% chance of winning the championship. Is that true?" Kidd asked with a smile.

"Yes, aren't you angry?" the reporter asked.

The two looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly and laughed.

Kidd said: "Why are we angry? Don't let him speak? No, if so, he will spray us to death. So, he can say whatever he wants."

Dayao nodded and laughed.

"What, only give us 1%? That bastard K is too arrogant, we must kill him this time!" Payton said angrily during an interview in front of his home in Portland.

"It adds up to 1%, three teams." the reporter reminded.

"Three branches? Three branches add up to 1%?"

Payton was stunned and couldn't believe it. After reacting, he immediately sprayed: "His mouth is like a big water pipe. He just sprays water out. There is no logic and he is arrogant..."

The reporter quickly retreated and was sprayed all over his face.

"Tim, can you be interviewed?"

A reporter came to Duncan's door and happened to meet Duncan who was driving his wife to the gym, and quickly came forward to interview him.

"Just a question, I'm in a hurry." Duncan said.

"ok."

The reporter quickly asked: "Old K just said that your Blazers and Nets..."

"That adds up to 1%?"

Duncan was startled, smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, I won't take it to heart."

After he finished speaking, he rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator and left.

"What a big heart! You are indeed a psychology major." Reporter Payton nodded.

In the evening, the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals begins.

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, Nash

Trail Blazers: Duncan, Zach Randolph, Darius Michaels, Derrick Anderson, Payton
