Chapter 331 2011~2012 NBA Championship
It shouldn't, it won't, it won't be possible.
This is what New York fans and James fans are thinking at the moment.
It only happens three times. It is impossible for this kind of thing to happen a third time.
And they don't feel like the Knicks have lost their chance.
It's just a 0-2 deficit.
James is not the confused James he used to be.
The experience of last year's finals has allowed him to grow into a historical superstar.
The disadvantage is only temporary.
"The Knicks will start to fight back in New York! The final score will be 4 to 2!"
This comment received responses from many fans.
It’s not that they are stupid, but the Mavericks have a criminal record!
In the 2006 Finals, the Mavericks also had the home court advantage, also 2-0, and in the end, the Heat lost 2-4!
The Knicks' lineup is much better than the Heat's back then!
Before G3 started, Durant came to see Lin Ying.
The Knicks are now at a disadvantage. It will be interesting to go to Madison to watch the Finals.
But Durant looked a little sad when he came this time.
After asking around, I found out that it turned out that Harden's contract renewal situation was not going well.
The free market in July has not yet arrived, but the connection between players and teams is actually always there.
The NBA controls this aspect very strictly, and has punished many people for this matter in history.
But that's actually useless.
For example, because the general manager of a team has a good personal relationship with a certain player, shouldn't he be able to have dinner together?
Who knows if they have negotiated a contract.
Lin Ying also recalled that this year in history, Harden broke down with the Thunder over contract renewal and was sent to the Rockets.
It's just that the possibility of Harden going to the Rockets is not high now.
First, the Rockets' first-round pick is valuable, and second, they don't have Martin's bargaining chip that the Thunder are interested in.
According to what Durant said, Harden still has to leave the team, but it may be to change places.
Lin Ying just said a few words of comfort and didn't offer any advice.
First, the Thunder management probably won't listen to Durant, and second, Harden staying in the Thunder may not be a good thing.
Lu Bu's words are quite right. A man who lives in heaven and earth can't live in depression for a long time.
If you want to create some achievements in the NBA, how can you get ahead by playing sixth man all the time?
Of course this is just a small episode.
They had arrived in Madison while chatting.
This time Scarlett and Swift were busy with their own affairs and did not come together. They sat in the middle and watched the game.
But even though they kept a low profile, they were still discovered early by the photographers at the scene.
One is really handsome and the other is handsome, they are really too eye-catching among the crowd.
"Do you think it'll be a sweep?"
Durant pretended not to see the camera and turned to chat with Lin Ying.
"Disaster."
Lin Ying said one word.
Although because of the decision, Stern no longer treats James as highly as before.
But the ratings of the finals are still very important.
The two previous times James was swept by the Cavaliers had a certain amount of chance involved.
As long as the Cavaliers have a reliable helper, James will not be so miserable.
The Knicks have two reliable helpers.
Sure enough, after the game started, the referee's whistle was very obvious.
This is "Stern's Sanction".
If the Mavericks want to win this game, they must do 5 versus 8.
Nowitzki was whistled for two fouls early in the first quarter and his face was extremely ugly.
No need to guess, the picture that comes to his mind at this moment must be the scene when he played against the Heat 6 years ago.
Going round and round, like reincarnation.
But fortunately, the referees did not exaggerate too much. After all, if it goes too far, the league will be criticized miserably.
So after Nowitzki went down, Yao Ming had a whistle.
Then, the Knicks failed to widen the point difference...
[I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it]
This is not a problem with James or anyone else, but simply a problem of lineup restraint.
The Knicks' defense basically relies on one-man defense on the perimeter, and they will definitely have an advantage against the Lakers.
But when faced with a team with a strong inside line, as mentioned before, Bynum and Hibbert both played like the league's top centers.
Then they met the true No. 1 center in the league.
This is really like when the Mavericks were beaten by the Warriors and restrained to death.
Well, it was Liang Jingru who gave those fans the courage to think that the Knicks could replicate the Heat's 4-2 comeback to win the championship.
What to do?
Then blow it!
Nowitzki couldn't reach out at all on the court. He was originally a defensive weakness and directly sank into a defensive black hole.
So unlike the previous two games where the Mavericks clearly had the advantage, in this game both sides played an evenly matched offensive battle.
"This is too dark!"
Not long after the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, when Nowitzki left the game due to his sixth foul, Durant couldn't help but speak.
On the court, Nowitzki threw a towel in frustration after being sent off!
Lin Ying coughed.
There is actually no way around this.
First, Nowitzki himself is not good at defense and is easily targeted;
Second, if you don’t brag like this, the Mavericks will win!
If you just brag like this, you may blow Nowitzki's FMVP!
But something unexpected happened again.
After Nowitzki was sent off, not only did the Mavericks not collapse, but they became more and more courageous!
In ancient times, throwing a cup was used as a trumpet, but today, throwing a towel is used as a trumpet for counterattack!
With Yao Ming's strong attack in the paint, the Mavericks can shoot more from the outside!
This immediately confused Durant.
Are the Mavericks that strong?
eager.
Lin Ying saw that familiar thing again.
This season they just want to win the championship, no matter who they play, no matter how many of the five are playing!
Champions, they only want champions!
At the beginning, the Knicks were still resisting hard, but slowly, that resistance was defeated by the Mavericks' offensive.
Even James' mentality fluctuated, and he couldn't break into the Mavericks' inside line.
As for outside shooting, after the mentality fluctuates, the more you cast, the less likely it is!
Historically, the Rockets have made 0 of 26 three-pointers. Are they really their cup of tea?
How is that possible!
That Magic Ball team was the only team in the league that could rival the Warriors in three-point shooting that season!
Mentality, really is the mentality!
The Mavericks' desire, and then the desire to play, flooded the Knicks like a tidal wave.
Lin Ying came to a conclusion after seeing it.
Even if he is on the Knicks now, it will be difficult for him to beat the Mavericks.
This is no longer just a matter of strength!
105 to 101!
The Mavericks were trailing by 12 points at most, but they finally completed the comeback and took a 3-0 lead!
"We can now congratulate the people of Dallas in advance. They are only one step away from the first championship in team history!"
Over in the dugout, Mike Breen congratulated the Mavericks.
The Mavericks played in awe tonight.
In literary terms, they exude the aura of a championship!
The big score is 0 to 3.
Social media was particularly quiet after the game on this day.
Only a few loyal James fans were saying some encouraging words.
It is against this background that something James said in an interview once again aroused heated discussion among fans.
While the Knicks were preparing for the game, a reporter interviewed James and asked about the current situation of the Finals.
"No team in NBA history has ever completed a 0-3 comeback. Do you think the Knicks still have a chance?"
This is a trap question.
Because whether it is or is not, it will cause huge controversy.
But James gave the answer almost without thinking.
"Someone has to do it, why can't it be us?"
This is a direct imitation of Lin Ying's championship declaration when he was with the Suns: "Someone has to win, why can't it be us."
But this is definitely not imitation, but a subconscious statement.
Just like you have seen many famous quotes and aphorisms, you will subconsciously use them many times.
James probably doesn’t even remember who said this.
But this is indeed a very positive statement.
And this kind of statement will inevitably lead to new controversy.
It's like James and New York fans have found a leader again, and this time it's James himself, regaining confidence.
But some fans found the remarks a bit funny.
This is the NBA Finals! Strength speaks for itself. I really thought it was the anime world, relying on words to make a comeback!
"Shadow, did you see that? LeBron actually quoted what you said!"
Durant had just withdrawn from the battlefield of social media and couldn't help but call Lin Ying to complain.
By the way, he asked Lin Ying to watch the finals G4 together.
"Your mouth is on others, you can't decide what others say."
Lin Ying was very calm. Compared to the historical situation where Draymond Green directly said that he regarded Jonathan Kuminga as his son, this was nothing.
But he still wants to see G4.
Although theoretically speaking, the possibility of the Big Three Heat being swept in the finals is very low, after all, if that happens, it will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.
But now the Mavericks do have that opportunity.
If such a small probability event really happened, it would be very meaningful to witness it with one's own eyes.
Ever since, the much-anticipated G4, Lin Ying and Durant, each appeared in Madison Square with Swift and Scarlett Johansson.
Also present on this day were league president Stern and a number of league staff.
Although it was only the fourth game of the finals, the score of 3-0 had already reached the Mavericks' match point.
If the Mavericks really win G4, the championship award ceremony will be held directly on site!
The game started soon, and Yao Ming took the lead for the Mavericks.
As soon as Nowitzki came up, he was very tough and asked for the ball in the high post to beat Bosh. He also turned around beautifully and scored 2+1 on Bosh!
After scoring the goal, Nowitzki roared like a primitive man with his full beard.
He was sent off for 6 fouls in the last game, but he was holding back his energy tonight!
What’s more, what you can see about this ball is that the whistle seems to be normal!
This is undoubtedly the best news for the Mavericks.
Although we won the last game with 5 on 8, who likes to play on such a scale?
Lin Ying also looked at it and came back to his senses.
Speaking of which, when the Suns played against the Cavaliers, it was a similar process.
Stern's control will not last an entire series, because it will become as fake as the Silver era in history.
His control of the field seemed to give the lagging side a chance.
If you grasp it, it will be the 2006 Heat.
If you can't grasp it, you will be the Cavaliers in 2010.
If you think so, the Mavericks are really going to sweep it!
However, the trend of the game is not as simple as it seems. The Knicks are not the Cavaliers, and they also showed their best form in the last battle.
So in general, tonight's game is a game where both sides are online, similar to G1 in the finals.
Then……
The Knicks' final result was the same as G1, losing!
After four quarters of fierce battle, 116 to 121.
Led by Nowitzki's 37 points, the Mavericks had the most beautiful victory in the Finals.
After winning this victory, they swept the Knicks 4-0 and won the first championship in team history!
They completed the perfect revenge against the Knicks!
When Richardson's final three-pointer came out of the frame, the Mavericks players had already begun to celebrate wildly.
There Carter stretched out his hands and said a prayer of thanks to God;
Yao Ming raised his hands with firm eyes;
Artest excitedly ran and shouted around the court like a child;
At this time, the old Kidd gave the primitive Nowitzki a loving hug;
There were tears in Nowitzki's eyes that he couldn't hide;
If the Suns' championship two years ago was the championship dream of a group of old boys, then now it is another group of old boys!
Likewise, it is also the youth of another group of people!
At this time, the Knicks had quickly left the field after a simple handshake.
The kind that feels like you will die if you stay in the stadium for one more second.
It was only at this time that Lin Ying came to his senses.
As before, he really didn't expect the Mavericks to sweep.
You want to talk about restraint. When the Warriors restrained the Mavericks, they only ended up with a 4-2 score.
Moreover, the Knicks' performance in the Finals, except for G2, the other three games had nothing to do with hip stretching.
But just like that, the Mavericks gave him a gentleman sweep.
I can only say that Yao Ming is awesome, Nowitzki is awesome, and the Mavericks are awesome!
And it was a pity that the Mavericks failed to win the finals last year as they did in history, but this year's championship is even more valuable!
Look at the way the Mavericks have come, they defeated the Spurs, the Lakers, and then the Knicks, three super teams, and they killed two!
This has nothing to do with luck, it’s all about strength, the strength gained from playing!
Stern handed the championship trophy to Cuban, who turned around and handed it to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki and Yao Ming lifted the championship trophy together. This moment is the most glorious moment for the Mavericks!
Lin Ying also stood up and applauded the Mavericks.
This champion is well deserved!
After the award ceremony, it was immediately followed by the ownership of FMVP.
"The winner of the 2012 NBA Finals Bill Russell Trophy is...Dirk Nowitzki!"
There is not much suspense. Although his performance was limited in G3 due to foul problems, his performance in the remaining three games can be described as perfect.
In 4 finals games, he averaged 26 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.8%!
Although Yao Ming also averaged 19.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, it obviously still cannot affect this result.
Nowitzki has somewhat calmed down from his previous excitement.
His first move after receiving the trophy was to stroke his thick beard on his chin and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
