Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

Chapter 147 Handicap In Las Vegas! Buying Yourself To Win, Is It A Violation Of League Rules?

That night, more than 20,000 fans poured into the Mavericks' home stadium, American Airlines Arena. They couldn't wait to shout and hold justice for Nowitzki's failure to win the MVP!

Of course, here, it is worth mentioning again that the full name of the Mavericks' arena is American Airlines Center, and the full name of the home stadium of the Phoenix Suns is US Airways Center, both of which are referred to as American Airlines Arena.

Similarly, in Miami on the east coast, the home of the Heat is also called the American Airlines Arena.

This is the full name of the arena.

As for the difference between the three arenas, of course they are located in Phoenix, Dallas and Miami respectively, but why they are called this, I can only say: American Airlines is really rich! The ability to make money means that you can do whatever you want!

As for Mavericks fans, they don't care who's American Airlines arena is genuine, they only care about one thing, that is, we won 60 wins, and the team only has this one All-Star and player of the year, why should mp not for us?

This is the question of the entire Dallas, and even the entire Mavericks.

They refuse to accept!

Everyone knows that tonight's Mavericks must be extremely fierce!

Before the start of the game, in the TNT studio, Kenny said: "The Mavericks have never lost at home in this year's playoffs. They have won 5 consecutive home games in the playoffs. Charles, what do you think of the Suns? Can the team capture American Airlines Center today?"

"It's hard, to be honest, it's hard!" Barkley said: "Whenever people mention the Devil's home court, people always think of Salt Lake City and Detroit first, but Dallas is always ignored.

The fans here are crazy and rude, the fans here are passionate and wild, they are full of local Dallas characteristics, and it is very difficult to contribute to them!"

"Especially the inside line of the Suns is too weak! They have been blown away by Kwame Brown and Elton Brand! Now they will usher in Nowitzki, a real killer , even if I'm always a supporter of the Suns, it's hard for me to see my team win tonight."

"But in the Western Conference semifinals last year, Nash relied on his amazing performance, averaging 30+12 per game in the series, and led the team to win the game!" Kenny continued to ask.

"But there was Amare last year! With Amare, although the Suns' interior defense is still not good, their offense can beat opponents! They can consume opponents! Think about it, if Nowitzki is standing opposite Stoudemire Tadamier, how much energy does he need to spend on the defensive end, and when he is facing Boris Diaw, how much energy does he need to spend on defense."

When Barkley, known as the league's number one Lin Mi and Sun Mi, is not optimistic about the Suns, it means that they are really about to encounter an extremely severe test!

In fact, not only Barkley, but the entire market is not very optimistic about the Suns. Although they also advanced to the Western Conference Finals, the opponents of the Suns are the Lakers with 45 wins and the Clippers with 48 wins.

The Mavericks' first-round opponent, the Grizzlies, has 49 wins!

Not to mention that the defending champion, the 63-win Spurs, was eliminated in the semi-finals! The Mavericks came through tough battles, game after game!

The Suns, on the other hand, played like they were pecking at each other. They were inseparable from two teams with more than 40 victories. People could not help but suspect: when the Suns really met the top teams, they what to do?

Except for Nash, can the offense and running and bombing they rely on for survival continue to show their effectiveness when facing a 60-win team?

In the last 30 minutes before the start of the game, Lin Zhan, who kept practicing shooting during the warm-up, was caught by the reporters.

"Lin, can I ask you a few questions?"

The reporter's camera and microphone have already been placed under Lin Zhan's nose. This attitude is simply unbearable for him to refuse.

Fortunately, Lin Zhan is not going to run away. He has been practicing shooting for a long time, and he is really a little tired now, so he nodded and said: "We need to hurry up, we will gather soon."

"The market is very pessimistic about your victory in this round of the series, and the handicap given by Las Vegas is even more exaggerated. What do you think of this?"

"How much is Las Vegas opening~"?" Lin Zhan focused his attention on something strange.

"...

It was also the first time for the reporter to meet a professional athlete who directly asked about the handicap without any concealment. After a moment of stunned, he still said: "Simply put, if you buy you to win, you can get 300 dollars for every 100 yuan you buy. If you buy the Mavericks to win , then for every 100 US dollars in, you can get 150 US dollars!"

The odds are almost doubled!

Lin Zhan frowned, and suddenly said: "If I buy myself to win, can I buy it? Is it against the rules of the league?"

"This..." The reporter was stunned again, what is this guy doing? Want to gamble in front of the camera? Are you crazy!

"Forget it, it shouldn't be allowed, but I have to say, if I could buy it, I would sell my car, house and stocks, and give all my money to buy the Suns to win! We will definitely make it, it's a fortune Opportunity."

"Why are you so confident?"

Because I am very confident. Lin Zhan glanced at the reporter.

What kind of question is this? How do I answer it? Because I am ordinary, I am confident?

"So how are you going to deal with Nowitzki in this game? Do you have any special arrangements?"

"Secret, next question."

"Who's going to defend Nowitzki?"

"Secret, next question."

"Are you going to chase Nowitzki like the last game, cause him to foul, and let him end early?"

"Secret, next question."

The more Lin Zhan answered, the more he felt that the reporter had questions. What were they asking? Are you here to spy on the military situation?

At the same time, Lin Zhan also thinks that this universal attack style is very cool to use!

When you meet someone you don’t want to answer, it’s a great feeling to go straight to it!

In the end, under Lin Zhan's strategy of non-violent non-cooperation, the reporter's interview ended hastily, he really couldn't ask anything, and the competition was about to begin!

"How do you feel Lin? How much does the hand feel come back?" Nash blew on his palm. Tonight is his favorite revenge battle. Nash is the most booed by the entire Dallas people, as if Nash is sorry Dallas [is the same as Nash asked to run away.

"Not very good." Lin Zhan shook his head. In tonight's warm-up, his shooting still hasn't improved obviously, and his touch is still bad.

"Then let's go to the basket more!" Nash nodded.

Everyone will have ups and downs, so since Lin Zhan is not in good form tonight, let's give him less balls.

Facing their old opponent, the Mavericks, the entire Sun team mustered all their strength. They defeated the Mavericks 4-2 last year. Even without Stoudemire this year, the Suns are full of confidence at this time. They have the confidence to kill the Mavericks again. !

The Mavericks, on the other hand, are full of vengeful anger! They just killed their old enemy, the Spurs, their morale and state are at their peak, and their goal for this year is only one day: the championship

This round of the series is destined to be another battle between dragons and tigers!

It's a pity that the first game of this round of the series surprised all the audience and hurt the fans of the Suns even more.

Because the fight is a bit too one-sided!

The Mavericks took advantage of the game from the jump ball. Dampier easily passed the ball to Terry. Terry grabbed the basketball and ran towards the frontcourt crazily. Then he stopped suddenly outside the 3-point line and raised his hand. It's just illogical, if you don't score, you will be pushed to the ground by the coach and hit a 3-pointer.

"Shua!" There was a crisp sound!

Terry's 3-pointer opened the scoring for the game!

At the same time, it also opened a curtain for the Mavericks' super attack wave in the first quarter!

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks didn't feel the slightest sense of exhaustion after finishing the tie-breaker. They all worked hard and everyone could score. Nowitzki, Terry, Howard, Harris, these four singles masters repeatedly The singles, scoring again and again, especially Nowitzki, whether it was Marion or Jackson, were all easily won by him, fancy slings.

Nowitzki seemed to want to prove to the whole world that he is the mvp of this year. He made all 11 shots like crazy in the first quarter and scored 29 points. On the other hand, the Suns, except for Nash who maintained his standard and scored 8 points on 4 of 5 shots, all the rest were all missed.

Lin Zhan is 1 for 3, Marion is 2 for 5, Jackson is 1 for 4, Dior is 0 for 2, and 4 of the five starters are missing. It is reasonable for them to be beaten by the Mavericks.

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks widened the point difference to 20 points!

In the second and third quarters that followed, the Mavericks didn't show any mercy. With wave after wave of offensive frenzy, the Suns retreated steadily, and the point difference became wider and wider.

In the end, the Mavericks easily won the first victory of the series with 121:80 and a 40-point advantage!

In the second game that followed, the Mavericks continued their crazy firepower. Although the Suns still couldn't stop the Mavericks' firepower today, they finally played at their own level on the offensive end. Several major players contributed a lot of points. Contribute to the team to bite the score.

However, in the end, the Mavericks played better. They managed to keep the team's unbeaten record at home and turned the big score of the series into 2:0.

This game was much more exciting than the first game. The Mavericks only narrowly beat the Suns by 6 points 120:114 in the end. Even in the last 40 seconds of the game, the Suns still had a chance to tie, but Lin Zhan had an open space Unable to grasp the 3-point shot, he had no choice but to hit the iron. Instead, the Mavericks grabbed the rebound, and Nowitzki hit a super 3-pointer from outside the 3-point line, directly killing Biying!

This night, Nash scored 29 points and 15 assists for the Suns, Marion scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, Jackson scored 18 points, 5 assists and 3 steals, Diaw scored 19 points, 1 rebound and 11 assists

Barbosa also scored a playoff-high 20 points this season!

Almost everyone on the Suns team was at their best.

Except for one person, Lin Zhan!

In the first game, Lin Zhan only made 3 of 12 shots. He continued his poor performance in the second game. He even performed earlier in this game. He only scored 3 points on 1 of 9 shots. With 0 shots and no wins, Lin Zhan, who kept saving the team and becoming a hero in the first two rounds, suddenly disappeared.

After the first game, all kinds of remarks against Sun and Lin Zhan have been flying all over the sky!

Because Lin Zhan is usually the most arrogant, talks the most, and because he has offended the most people with his actions, he has actually received the most doubts and ridicules!

Even more than all other Suns players!

". "A rookie is an embarrassment! On a stage like the Western Conference finals, a rookie is unreliable!"

"That's right, I guess Lin's legs are already shaking? He must have been scared to tears! Hahaha, go home and cry with your mother in your arms!"

"The Mavericks will win! I think Lin Zhan seemed to be very arrogant before the start of the series, saying that he wanted to sell the house and buy himself to win? I think he bought the wrong house after selling it. The Mavericks won, so he bought it. Will he work so hard for the Mavericks?

"Hahaha, Lin seems to have really said that! His face should be swollen by now! Let him be arrogant! Make him talk big! He deserves it! Steve is not so arrogant."

"If the Suns want to win the championship, they should trade Lin Zhan. The team with him will be treated unfairly and hated by others. It is absolutely impossible to win the championship! If I were the management, I would send him to the Pistons! "

"Send it to Detroit and get beaten to death by the fans while reporting? Hahahaha!"

"Hey, it's a pity for Tyson! I'm afraid he won't be able to beat Lin Zhan, because Lin Zhan will be beaten to death in this round of the series.

"Let us congratulate the Mavericks in advance for winning this year's Western Conference championship! At the same time, let us also congratulate the Suns in advance for winning a division runner-up for two consecutive years! It is also a good honor!

"To be honest, the league should change the rules. The Suns should have met the Mavericks in the semifinals. They should have been eliminated at that time! But the rules made them here. It's not fair! They didn't play in the Western Conference Finals Strength!"

"That's right, they don't deserve to play in the Western Conference Finals, they don't deserve it at all! My grandma won two rounds in a row on a team that won 45 games!"

"I hope that a sweep will allow the league to recognize the loopholes in the current rules!"

On the major websites, there is almost a flood of negative comments and ridicules for the Suns. No one thinks that they still have a chance to win. A large number of fans (with money) think: The Suns are over.

Even if they actually just lost two ordinary away games.

As for the most ruthless Lin Zhan who was exposed by the Internet, he did not participate in the team's post-match meeting, did not stay in the locker room at all, and left directly after saying hello to D'Antoni.

After the meeting, when all the teammates were worried that he would not be able to pass this test, and that he would give up on himself if he sank, Nash and Barbosa volunteered to find Lin Zhan and have a good chat with him.

But they searched a lot, but they couldn't find Lin Zhan in the hotel. Just when these two guys were a little worried, afraid that something would happen to Lin Zhan...they heard a noise coming from the hotel arena. The sound of hitting the ball.

The two followed the sound and found it was Lin Zhan!

Together with Lin Zhan is the team's assistant coach Irwin. In front of the two of them, there is a TV that is playing Lin Zhan's shots in the two games in a loop.

"Lin, shake your wrists a little harder, open your elbows, keep it steady, don't shake your head, it's okay, try to shoot!" Erwin kept directing Lin Zhan's shots, but Lin Zhan didn't say a word He shot the basket, his whole body was soaked, I don't know how long he has been practicing here, but from Erwin's hoarse voice, I can tell that these two people came here to train directly after the game .

"Lin, take a break!"

Nash glanced at Lin Zhan appreciatively and stopped his training.

"Steve Leandro? When did you get it?"

Lin Zhan just saw the two of them. After wiping his sweat with a towel, he was about to sit down when Erwin shouted:

"Don't sit down, talk and recall the details! This will help you get back to your senses!"

I recommend the author's old book "nba: Man of Steel, Reshaping the Glory of the Green Army". It is still the author's account. It has a large volume and looks good. The results are better than this one. It is still discounted recently, and subscriptions are cheaper!.
