Chapter 349 The biggest winner is Li Ning? Main quest
"The Phoenix Suns return to the Finals stage after many years!"
"Full-level rookie! Chen Yan leads the team to successfully advance!"
"Chen Yan shows off his power and leads the Suns to defeat the Lakers!"
"Unwilling! The two superstars of the Lakers stopped in the Western Conference Finals, and Kobe looked lonely in the post-game interview"
"Shocking! This rookie has done something that even Jordan couldn't do!"
"Lock FMVP in advance? Chen Yan only needs to perform normally and reach the level of the first two rounds"
"The Suns advanced to the finals, and Chen Yan named him to beat the Cavaliers with James."
Heading high into the finals, the outside news is celebrating the Suns' victory.
After defeating the defending champion Spurs and this year's favorite Lakers, the outside world is basically optimistic that the Suns will win this year.
Compared with the international media, the domestic media's reports are very exaggerated. Some directly predicted Chen Yan's fmvp, which did not give any face to the Eastern team. They were already treated as cannon fodder before the finals started.
However, judging from Chen Yan's performance in the Western Conference Finals series, he is indeed the biggest competitor for FMVP, but the premise is that the Suns must win the finals first.
The day after the loss, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa followed the pre-game agreement and invited Phoenix Mayor Amy Talley to dinner in Los Angeles.
If the Suns win, Phoenix Mayor Amy Talley will invite Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to a steak.
During the meal, Emitaly smiled the whole time. The Suns' performance made him feel bright on his face. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa had no choice but to hang the Suns team logo in the city hall until the end of the season.
...
On May 29, after winning the Western Conference Finals, D'Antoni gave the team a day off.
This is Mustache's coaching style. He doesn't like to push his teammates too hard. He believes that a combination of work and rest can bring out the strongest combat effectiveness of this team.
On this day, the Suns players also made different arrangements.
Stoudemire chose to catch up on his sleep at home, because the night before he celebrated his promotion by partying in a nightclub until the early hours of the morning. Dior was taking his two dogs to a nearby park for an outing. In addition to drinking coffee, raising dogs is also one of Dior's major hobbies.
, Grant Hill chose to stay at home with his family, which made him feel at ease, while Nash hired a private physical therapist for a major health care. Back injuries have been bothering Nash throughout his career. In order to maintain his condition in the finals, Nash
You must spend more time taking care of your body than other players.
After Chen Yan slept until 10 o'clock in the morning, he decided to go out to look for food with Swift. Although the two of them did not fight for 300 rounds last night, they still had a small fight until late at night.
Shopping is a common thing for other couples, but it is rare for them. First, they are both too busy. Second, Chen Yan is so well-known in Phoenix that even elementary school students know him.
"Hey! Chen!"
"Chen! You are the best!"
"beat-la!"
"beat-la!"
"beat-la!"
On the street, Chen Yan was quickly recognized by fans.
After being recognized by a fan, a group of fans gathered around him. The fans shouted "Down with the Lakers" at Chen Yan. It was obvious that the fans were still immersed in the joy of defeating the Lakers!
The fans didn't care that they were still on the street. They cheered and surrounded Chen Yan among them. The scene was like a festive carnival.
In the next half hour, Chen Yan kept taking photos with the fans and signing autographs for them.
"Are the fans here so crazy?" Swift asked with a pout after getting rid of the fanatical fans.
Chen Yan spread his hands: "There is no way, it is the playoffs now, and we have just defeated our old enemy the Lakers."
"But we already wear masks?" Swift asked in confusion.
Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "Next time, I will buy a mask, the kind that covers the whole head, otherwise Phoenix fans will still recognize me."
Swift nodded after hearing this. He knew that Chen Yan was not bragging. He was too famous in the city of Phoenix!
The two of them also canceled their lunch and shopping plans. This kind of street shopping is too tiring. Wouldn't it be nice for the two of them to just stay at home and grab some food or order takeout and then sit on the sofa, petting the dog and watching a movie?
That night, the battle between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals resumed.
This is the seventh matchup of this series, and the Suns' opponents in the Finals will also be announced tonight.
In the end, after overtime, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Pistons 81-79 on the road and entered the Finals for the second consecutive year!
After overtime, the two sides still scored such a low score. You can imagine the scene.
This is also the reason why the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals are less than half of those of the Western Conference Finals.
In 4 of the 7 games, both sides scored less than 80 points. Which fan would like to watch such boring games?
Especially after watching the series between the Suns and the Lakers, fans are even more disgusted with such defensive battles.
However, compared to the Pistons, most fans still hope that the Cavaliers will advance. After all, the Pistons' style of play and proper staffing are box office poison. The Cavaliers at least have stars like James. Looking at their score, they are somewhat hopeful.
James was the most important factor in the Cavaliers' victory tonight. He contributed a near-triple-double with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, and assisted Larry Hughes in the game-winning mid-range shot at the last moment of overtime!
O'Neal played 33 minutes, made 5 of 11 shots and 3 of 8 free throws, scoring 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block.
The Shark King combination has become one of the biggest gimmicks this season. O'Neal is no longer at his peak. On the offensive end, his dominance in the penalty area has been reduced by at least 50%. On the defensive end, due to his moving feet and his inability to defend pick-and-rolls, O'Neal has also become a team player.
A flaw on the defensive end.
But even so, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown still said in the post-game interview that O'Neal was an important factor in the team's victory and an indispensable part of the team.
However, most media and fans did not take Mike Brown's words seriously. If there is a level of praise, then Mike Brown is definitely the strongest king. Whether he wins or loses, he can always find a way to praise his players.
Dayton.
The Pistons have been on a decline in the past few years since reaching the top and winning the O'Brien Cup in 2004, especially in the past two seasons when they fell to the Cavaliers led by James. The team's top management is already paying attention to this game.
Consider restructuring.
After the two sides in the finals were announced, the domestic media exclaimed that the biggest winner in the NBA this season was actually Li Ning!
The reason is very simple, O'Neal and Chen Yan are both players signed by Li Ning.
Some fans teased that the NBA is about to usher in a civil war with Li-Ning.
Naturally, Li Ning will not let this gimmick go. They prepared special boots for the finals, [Yan Yi - Coronation] for Chen Yan.
The entire pair of sneakers is made of bright orange covering the upper and midsole, which looks very sexy, and the heel is printed with a commemorative message written by Chen Yan himself to inspire him to fight!
On this night when the opponents of the finals were announced, the main mission of the system was also updated!
Main mission [Road to Champions], mission completion conditions: win the O'Brien Cup! Get the highest honor for NBA players.
Mission reward: [Star Skills Gift Pack]
Star skill gift package?
This reward sounds very tempting, and Chen Yan said that he has another reason to win the finals.
