NBA Backer King

  Chapter 657 The finals are coming

  No. 22, the match day of the Western Conference Finals G1 game.

   Blazers: Duncan, Raheem, Darius Max, Derek Anderson, Payton

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, Kenyon Martin, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, Jason Williams

   As a result, without Randolph's Blazers, when Duncan was targeted by the old king, there was really no splash. 101:86, lost the G1 game without any suspense, and the audience did not lead once.

   Payton is also old. He played 33 minutes and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, which couldn't help Duncan.

  Under the full defense of Lao Wang, Duncan made 7 of 18 shots and a shooting percentage of only 38.9%. In addition, he made 3 of 5 free throws and scored 17 points and 10 rebounds.

   Lao Wang played 40 minutes, made 14 of 21 shots, 66.6% shooting, 12 of 14 free throws, scored 40 points and 15 rebounds, and led the team to win the G1 game.

  The next day, ESPN adjusted the predictions for the Western Conference Finals. The probability of the Suns winning increased to 70%, and the Blazers dropped to 30%.

  That night, the Nets and Pistons played the Eastern Conference Finals G1 game.

  Old Wang booked a bar in the hotel to watch the game with his teammates. He also called Kobe Barkley and his teammates, as well as a group of wives from his teammates. There were fifty or sixty people in total, including seven or eight children.

"brush!"

  At the beginning of the game, the Nets attacked, and Dayao pulled out. Ben couldn't defend at all. He tried to shoot a three-pointer and hit the first goal.

  Old Wang nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the hand feels good, pull it outside, Rasheed Wallace can't double-team, and the height of the others is a little lower."

  Barkley laughed and said: "This is Yao's advantage. He can pull out. How can Ben's height prevent him? But O'Neal can't pull out, so he can only be forced to be double-teamed inside by double Wallace."

  Glider smiled and said: "Yao pulls out, and the trolls can only come out to defend, and Ben's height is seriously not enough, and Ben can also defend in the low position.

   But if the trolls are the main defense against Yao, then Yao doesn't need to pull out at all. He can blow up the trolls in the low post, and the trolls can't stand him at all.

  So as long as he has a good handle and can hit the ball when he pulls out, the Pistons will be in trouble. "

  Magic Johnson said: "If the Nets want to win, Yao's shooting must be good. His current state is even better than O'Neal. The Sharks are old."

  Old Wang said: "Even if you don't pull it out, Dayao will shoot from the low post. His turnaround shot, it's hard to guard against him with Big Ben and the sprayer double-teaming, so it depends on how he can play.

Ben and the trolls played against O'Neal. In fact, O'Neal's efficiency was very high, but he didn't take enough shots. According to media information, in the second round of seven games, he took 103 shots in total, averaging less than 15 shots per game. Zizi mainly limits his shots.

  Dayao is actually more difficult to defend, because his offense can cover half the court, and the Pistons can't concentrate their defensive power to double-team him.

  It is also difficult for the Pistons to limit his shots, because as long as he pulls out and is not fixed in the low position, it is difficult to go forward. "

   "Old K, who do you think will enter the finals?" White Chocolate asked.

   "ESPN said five-five, then five-five, everyone has a chance." Lao Wang said with a smile.

  In the end, the Pistons won the game.

  Dayao’s touch didn’t last long. He made 9 of 19 shots and a 47.4% shooting rate, which was not enough to lead the team to defeat the Pistons at home.

   On the 24th, the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals.

In this game, Lao Wang still put all his efforts into defense. Duncan made 4 of 15 shots and his level was greatly lost. His shooting percentage was only a poor 26.7%. 12 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.

   Lao Wang scored 32 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks, and led the Suns to win the G2 game. The advantage of the series is in hand, and the finals are just around the corner.

   On the second day, the Eastern Conference Finals G2 game day.

  The Suns returned to Phoenix on this day. In the evening, Pharaoh invited a group of friends to his home to watch the Eastern Conference Finals G2 game together.

Before the game, he couldn't help but make a phone call to Dayao Zhuangzhuang, and he said after the call: "Dayao, if you can't win the Pistons this time, Kobe said you are not qualified to join forces with him, and he is going to find someone else." A thigh."

"what?"

   Kobe sitting next to him and Dayao on the other end of the phone were stunned at the same time.

   "Old K, don't talk nonsense!"

  Kobe is a little **** off, when did I say that? And I asked Dayao to help me, not me hugging his thigh.

"Ha ha…"

   "Kobe, who is whose thigh?"

   "Yao, come to the Lakers, there will be an extra pendant on your thigh."

  The group of Barkley and the magician Lei Gong were already laughing like crazy, and they all started yelling.

Stimulated by Lao Wang, Dayao broke out. He made 15 of 24 shots and a 62.5% shooting rate. He made 3 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 37 points efficiently and led the team Detonated the Pistons, won the G2 game, and evened the big score.

  After the whole game, he kept pulling out from the low post, playing pick-and-roll tactics with Vince Carter and Kidd on the wing or in the high post, making it difficult for the Pistons to defend.

   On the 26th, the Suns beat the Blazers three times and won the Western Conference Finals.

   Lao Wang still defended Duncan with all his strength, and Duncan made 6 of 17 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 35.3%.

After the game, Magic Johnson was interviewed at the scene and said: "Duncan was strangled at this point, and Anderson's efficiency on the outside was also very low. was swept away."

  In an interview, Barkley said very excitedly: "I think the Suns should play their best in the G4 game and try to sweep the Trail Blazers.

In this way, the Suns entered the finals with a majestic three-round sweep in the Western Conference Finals. Whether it is the Pistons or the Nets, it is impossible for the old K to be the opponent. The incredible record of sweeping completed the championship. "

   "This **** flying pig!"

  Hearing this sentence, Jordan in front of the TV couldn't help cursing.

   In 1995, wasn't the Suns the Bulls who swept him in the finals? Old K even stepped on him to complete the feat of 50 points in the finals, making him an eternal background board.

   On the 27th, the Eastern Conference Finals G3 game.

   The Nets played at home, the Big Three teamed up to contribute 68 points and won the game in one go.

  Although the Pistons also played very good defense, they were not good on the offensive end. The overall shooting percentage was only 37.2%, while the Nets reached 45.5%.

   On the second day, on the 28th, the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals.

   In order to avoid being swept, Duncan tried his best, but still couldn't resist Lao Wang, and in the sixth minute of the third quarter, after being knocked to the ground by Lao Wang's back arch with an iron mountain, Duncan suffered a foot injury.

  With Duncan off the field, the game completely lost suspense, and the Suns completed their sweep of the Trail Blazers.

   So far, the Suns have achieved a three-round sweep in the playoffs, and entered the finals with their heads held high with an invincible attitude.

  In the three-round series, Lao Wang averaged 41.5 minutes per game, averaging 38 points, 15.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.6 steals, 5.2 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 3.2 fouls.

   "Tim, what's the matter with your injury?" After the game, he paused by the Blazers' bench.

  Duncan's face was a bit ugly, and the team doctor who checked him said: "Old K, Tim has signs of plantar fasciitis since he entered the playoffs, which is very troublesome."

   Lao Wang shook his head. He knew this kind of injury. The killer of athletes, Duncan gained weight during the offseason, should be the key cause of the disease.

   "Take a good rest, you have been suffering from floor flow for a long time, I believe this injury has no effect on you." He touched Duncan's head and encouraged him.

   "Okay." Duncan nodded helplessly.

  …

   "Old K's outstanding performance is the only guarantee for the Suns to complete a three-round sweep." Miami Daily.

   "Old K can still play such an incredible record with a group of role players at the age of 32. He really deserves to be the number one active player in NBA history." The Los Angeles Daily reported.

   "Old K has been in his peak form for ten years, even Tim Duncan is dwarfed, and the chances of the Suns defending the championship have exploded!" The Washington Post.

   "The sun is high in the sky, but the Sun King's light still shrouds the alliance!" Phoenix Daily.

  The Suns achieved such an impressive record in the playoffs, which naturally brought praise from the media.

  The Eastern Conference finals are not yet over, and the series has only reached 2-1. ESPN actually announced the predicted probability of winning the championship.

  But only the Suns' championship probability is given, neither the Pistons nor the Nets, and the Suns' championship probability is as high as 90%.

  That is to say, ESPN believes that no matter who the Nets or the Pistons reach the finals, there is only a 10% chance of winning the championship, and they will become the Suns' defeat.

   On the 29th, in the G4 game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons defeated the Nets in the away game, and the two sides tied for two.

   On the 30th, ESPN once again adjusted the Suns' chances of winning the championship, increasing it from 90% to 92%.

   On the 31st, the Pistons returned to the home court and made persistent efforts to win the G5 game and get the Eastern Conference Finals spot.

  The time has entered June. On the 2nd, the Nets returned to their home court to show off and beat the Pistons.

Both teams reached the tiebreaker in the second round, and now they are playing the tiebreaker again. Almost all media agree with ESPN's prediction that no matter who makes it to the finals, these two exhausted teams will fall to the Suns. underfoot.

  After the Western Conference finals, the Suns rested for three days and resumed training from the first.

   On the 3rd, ESPN adjusted the probability of winning again, and the Suns' probability of winning the championship increased from 92% to 95%.

  No. 4, the Palace of Auburn Hills, the game day of the Eastern Conference finals G7 game.

  Pharaoh Wang planned to wait for the Eastern Conference finals to be played two days ago, and to hold a party at home. He invited his friends in Phoenix to get together, and it was set on the 6th.

  The finals will start on the 7th, and the Suns will have a rest on the 6th. Many friends will come to Phoenix to watch the finals on this day, and it happens to be a party.

   "Husband, there are a few domestic stars who will come to watch the finals, and they have already arrived in Los Angeles. Do you want to invite them?" Fei Ge asked.

   "People from your company?"

   "Some are, some are not. Those who are not Feige, their company has already greeted me, hoping to get tickets from me."

   "You can figure it out." He said indifferently.

   "Cheng Long probably won't be here this year, right? 'Mythology' has entered post-production and will be released in September, so time is tight now." Brother Fei asked again.

   "I made a call, but I won't come. Hey, by the way, Brother Fei, didn't Dabao say last year that he would invest in Cheng Long's movie, did he vote?"

   "Voted, this little guy has robbed Fei Ge of half of the share, with his second aunt helping him, he is very courageous." Fei Ge said with a smile.

  …

  In the evening, the tiebreaker broke out in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pistons at home played a fairly standard defense, but they played a mess on the offensive end.

  Larry Brown pursues the concept that I score less, but I will use defense to make you score less than me.

   It's a pity that in this crucial tiebreaker, his idea has not been implemented.

   The Nets thus defeated the Pistons and made it to the finals with difficulty.

   This is also the second time Dayao has reached the finals.

   Lao Wang made a congratulatory phone call after the game and said, "Da Yao, congratulations, you finally won the chance to be swept away by me."

   "Brother, don't try to sweep us away!"

  Dayao said weakly over there.

   "Winning the championship in four rounds, it's so cool to think about it! Haha..." Old Wang laughed and hung up the phone.

  In the visiting team's locker room at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Dayao reluctantly put down his phone, and Kidd, who was listening to the phone next to him, asked, "Yao, what did K say?"

   "He, he said he would sweep us away." Dayao smiled wryly.

   Kidd's face collapsed, and he said unhappily: "That can't be done, we can't be swept away by him. We worked so hard to reach the finals, we didn't go in and be swept away by him."

   "With our current state, it is very difficult to beat Old K!" Vince Carter sighed.

   "Win? Yes, not only can we not be swept away, we also have to win the old K." Kidd shouted cheerily as if he had been reminded.

  Looking at Kidd, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Jason, didn't you ever think about winning old K in the finals?

  After the Eastern Conference finals, the finals will start on the 7th. The Suns have the home court advantage, and the home and away schedule is 232.

   On the 6th, after the old Wang's family had breakfast, the number of people in the family increased, and they began to prepare for the party.

  He invited people from the K Times Club to help him hold a party. The club holds parties every three days. These people are veterans of party planning.

  In the morning, some guests came to the house one after another. By noon, Nuo Da's villa was already full of people.

   From time to time, someone came to the door, and Fei Ge greeted him at the door of the villa.

   "Mr. Yu, hello!"

  At the door, after Zhang Ziyi got off the car, he took a carefully prepared gift, walked two steps quickly to Brother Fei, and greeted him with a little respect.

She filmed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 1999, which is considered to have officially entered the international film industry. In 2000, she filmed Cheng Long's top 2, and then Zhang Yimou's Hero and House of Flying Daggers. This year, she took over the filming of Hollywood directors. Spielberg's "Memoirs of Arts and Skills" can be regarded as the only domestic actress besides Gong Li who can truly go international.

  But she is not an artist of Feige, but in front of Feige's big boss, she knows very well that she must maintain enough respect.

   And if she wants to get better in Hollywood, here's a shortcut.

   "Ziyi is here. Director Zhang called me and said you will be here today. Come in quickly. Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu just arrived. Do you know them?" Fei Ge smiled.

   "I know you. Teacher, this is a little meaning..."

   "You girl, come as soon as you come, what gift do you bring? Come, me, I will take you in."

  Brother Fei was about to take Zhang Ziyi in, when another car came, and ball flower Monica Bellucci got out of the car.

   "Monica, long time no see!"

   "Yu, I feel like your time has stopped, you are as young now as when I first met you nine years ago."

   The two hugged each other. Bellucci looked around and asked, "Where's old K? As the host, he's not entertaining guests at the door?"

   "Don't care about him, come on, I'll take you in. Oh, I'm sorry, Monica, Ziyi..."

  Just as she was about to take the two of them in, another car arrived, so she had to let the two of them go in by themselves, and she continued to stay at the door to greet the guests.

   The two didn't know each other, so they chatted politely, and then they separated after entering the door.

  The front yard of the villa is very large, at least more than 2,000 square meters of grass, and there are many dinner plates full of food. There are probably hundreds of guests who are chatting or eating in groups.

  Zhang Ziyi took a look at those people, most of whom he didn't know, but they were people of status. Among the rest, there were quite a few first-line stars in Hollywood.

  But she is not familiar with these people, so she shouldn't go over to greet them rashly. Just now, Qiu Hua simply greeted her and left.

   She had no choice but to find Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu. Although they were not very familiar, they at least knew each other.

  Pharaoh Wang was hiding with a group of friends on the tennis court in the backyard, setting up a few tables, playing cards in broad daylight.

  Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu were also there, counting the money for him.

   He played blackjack. As the boss, he was the banker and won hundreds of thousands.

   "No, the banker must win, we have to take turns to be the banker." After losing tens of thousands, Barkley quit and wanted to overthrow Lao Wang's banker.

   "That won't work, this is my house, who will be the manor if I don't?" Old Wang resolutely refused.

  Tom Cruise laughed: "Old K, you are the host of the party, it's not good to win money from the guests. This is good, we don't play blackjack, how about playing stud? This way there is no need for a dealer."

   This opinion was immediately agreed by everyone.

   Public anger is hard to offend, so Pharaoh had no choice but to agree.

   "Do you two want to play?" He asked Jiang and Wu.

   "Forget it, it's a big gamble." Huang Sanshi shook his head hastily.

  Jiang Wu was even more silent, he didn't have much money, and among a group of classmates, he was the worst.

  Old Wang gave Huang Sanshi a disgusted look, and said, "I seem to have seen your name on that celebrity list, Xiao Huang, don't cry poor in front of me."

   "Old K, Lao Huang is the 60th, and he earned more than 3.6 million on the surface last year." Jiang Wu said a little enviously.

  Huang Sanshi's face turned bitter, and he said quickly: "More than three million dollars is only hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do I dare to bet? Besides, the money is all with my wife. How much money can I have?"

   "Come on, let's play a few."

  Old Wang collected the capital and divided the winning money between the two.

   "Can I not play?"

   After looking at it, there was at least one hundred thousand dollars, so Jiang Wu hurriedly put the money in his pocket.

   "Bring it if you don't want to play with it." Pharaoh stretched out his big hand.

   "Forget it, let's play. I win the game?" Jiang Wu said helplessly.

   "It's all yours."

   "Old K, what are you doing with your capital?" Barkley shouted at this time.

   "What do you care about me, are you afraid that I won't pay you if I lose?" Lao Wang stared.

   "Old K, oh oh, you don't entertain guests, and you hide here to gamble?"

  A woman's voice sounded, and everyone saw that Roberts and her beautiful niece Emma had arrived.

"uncle."

   Emma shouted when she saw the old queen.

   "Emma is getting more and more beautiful. Hey, Julia." Old Wang praised the little girl.

   "Old K?"

  Roberts pointed to the side, signaling Lao Wang to speak aside.

   "You guys play first."

  Old Wang dropped the cards in his hand and stood up.

  The three walked aside, and Roberts said: "Old K, Emma is going to enter Hollywood. She lacks a good movie. Do you have any chance? I just talked to Yu Ye about it, and she promised to help."

   "Does Emma want to make a movie?" Lao Wang asked with a smile.

  Roberts gave Lao Wang a white look, and said: "She participated in a movie five years ago. Sooner or later, there has been no good chance."

   "With your contacts, there is no good chance?" Old Wang said in surprise.

   "I'm just an actor, and you know the rules of Hollywood. I can't help her too much. You have too many contacts, so I can only ask you for help." Roberts said.

   "Okay, after the finals, I will hold a party in Hollywood to see if there is any chance." Old Wang nodded.

  I have to help with this favor, Roberts has never asked him for help, and Emma is her favorite niece, and Emma has called him uncle since she was a child, so she can be regarded as his niece after all these years.

"that would be great!"

   Roberts smiled happily.

   "How many games?" After talking about things, Old Wang invited.

   "No, I'll go find Yu and talk to her again." Roberts took Emma away after finishing speaking.

   "No way, I only left for a minute, and you lost everything?"

  At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the gaming table, and Buckley laughed loudly. He hurried back to the table, and saw Lao Jiang and Lao Huang looking at him with a wry smile, and there was no money in his hand.

  Barkley laughed loudly, holding a handful of Mis in his hand, and said excitedly: "Old K, I ate your two friends' three of a kind and two pair with a straight, and won them all."

   "I'm X, you guys are so fast? You are bold!" Lao Wang said to Lao Huang and Lao Jiang with a look of admiration.

   "I took three and thought it was too big, but I didn't know that Barkley had a straight." Lao Jiang said with a look of misfortune.

   "I was going to use two pairs to kill the Quartet and earn a few million to go home. In the end, the remaining two parties were bigger than me." Old Huang sighed.

   "After the finals, I will take you to Macau, and use your own money to gamble for three days and three nights, and let me see your courage." Old Wang said angrily.

   "Don't gamble, don't gamble, absolutely don't gamble." The two shook their heads quickly.

   "Old K, take out your money, let's continue playing." Barkley shouted wildly.

   "Sorry, I won't give you a chance. You play, I'm going to entertain guests." Old K really walked away.

   "This guy, why didn't he think about entertaining guests when he won the money just now?" Barkley said dissatisfied.

  Old Wang brought Lao Jiang and Lao Huang to the front, and Yu Fei brought Zhang Ziyi to introduce him. He was not familiar with Zhang Ziyi, so he said hello and left to greet other friends.

   Zhang Ziyi had no regrets seeing old K leave, because Director Zhang told him that old K had no interest or care in the entertainment industry at all, and it was enough for her to have a good relationship with Brother Fei.

   Not long after, all the teammates of the Suns arrived, including Zhu Fangyu.

   "Barkley and the others are behind, you go there to play."

  Old Wang said, and then warned: "They are playing cards, the bet is a bit big, you don't want to participate, just take a look."

   "Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhu Fangyu stayed behind.

   "Go and play, I have nothing to do here. But Dayao will come over later." He said.

   "That kid Yi Jianlian is homesick and returned home after the game. What about Sun Le? He doesn't come to the finals either?" Zhu Fangyu asked.

   "Xiao Le will be here tomorrow." He said.

   After staying in the front yard for an hour, Dayao arrived with Kidd and Vince Carter.

  The party went on until the night before it dissipated. When I woke up, it was the day of the G1 finals.

  7th, late.

  The American West Arena is full of stars.
