May 18.
The East and West playoffs are all over.
The Lakers defeated the Spurs 4:2 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals. This is also the first time that the Lakers have entered the Western Conference Finals again since the 0304 season.
Kobe was naturally very happy. He finally proved that without O’Neal, he could bring the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals. Of course, the most important thing is to win the championship.
Kobe knows very well that only by winning the championship can the world’s mouth be blocked.
At the end of the moment after the game, the world’s media has surrounded the Lakers.
This already constant traffic team, because Kobe and the Lakers once again reached the Western Conference Finals, the momentum is soaring and even faintly has the momentum of the biggest favorite of the championship.
When he successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, Kobe faced Craig Sager’s postgame interview on the court.
“The next stage is the highest stage in the Western Division. You will face the Trail Blazers who advanced early and got enough rest. They have a player who won the league’s scoring title in a rookie season, and a group of young talents with good strength. , The Rockets and the Hornets were defeated by them one after another.”
“So, are the Lakers ready?”
Faced with such a problem, Kobe looked very calm.
“I’ll beat Zhang Jun on the court, beat the Trail Blazers.”
In the East, the Cavaliers and the Celtics fought a **** tiebreaker. In this game, James scored 45 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, but failed to win a game for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won 92:97 Unfortunately lost the game.
Just a few points away, just a few points away from James can eliminate this Celtics Big Three team, but unfortunately he did not have a reliable teammate throughout the series.
The most outstanding teammate is Delonte West, who averaged 11 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game in this round of the series. This is already the second highest scoring average in the Cavaliers.
At the end of the game, Kenny Smith couldn’t help but said: “I got news from some players. They said that Cleveland is an unattractive city. If two teams are willing to offer them the same price, they will Choose to go to another city without hesitation, no matter where that city is or which team it is.”
Barkley nodded and said: “Cleveland is an industrial city. No player likes it. These players have a lot of money, so they prefer big cities like Los Angeles or New York.”
This is also the reason why it is difficult for the Cavaliers to introduce strong players who are in their prime. Those players hold a lot of money in their hands, and they are still young and need too much energy to consume.
So the players who are willing to come to Cleveland are either unknown or veterans who are already in their prime, and even for their type of players, the Cavaliers have to pay far more than other teams to attract their attention. and join.
Barkley can already see what James will look like in the next ten years. He will spend his entire career for this city, and then it will be difficult to bring a championship to this city throughout his life.

Of course, James will get a lot of data and glory, he will become the best individual, but he will never become the strongest individual in nba.
Because the playoffs are the stage for testing stars, a player who fails to lead the team to win a championship will not be ranked too high in NBA history.
“Look at the top ten historical superstars selected by the NBA today. How many of them have no championships?”
“James dared to choose the No. 23 jersey in his rookie season, and Sima Zhaozhi’s heart is well known that if he wants to break the series of records and glory set by Michael Jordan, he must win the championship.”
Barkley would like to say that the best way out for James is to join a team that can compete for the championship in the twilight of his career after spending his entire life for the Cavaliers like Kevin Garnett of the Celtics. Then he won the championship as the second master.
That’s pretty good.
Because even Barkley himself has never won a championship ring in his entire career.
“The championship is not easy.”
………
May 19.
The league released the East and West finals schedule, West: Lakers vs Trail Blazers, East: Celtics vs Pistons.
The first game started on May 20, with the Lakers hosting the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers team arrived in Los Angeles two days in advance. Zhang Jun smelled a familiar smell the first time he got off the plane, and couldn’t help but stay on the ladder for a while.
Aldridge came out from behind, saw Zhang Jun who had been standing still in front of him thought of something, patted him on the shoulder and said.
“This is your hometown before this season. You are the son of California. Now you are going to be their enemy when you return to your hometown.”
Luo Yin, who was on the side, remembered at this time that Zhang Jun is a talented player, the hottest college student in California, and his status in the hearts of young Los Angeles fans is even higher than that of Kobe, who is already the star of the Lakers.
And now, the hero who used to be a California fan is now coming to fight them with his own hands.
Luo Yin couldn’t help but think of his college career, then he sighed and rubbed Zhang Jun’s head, he didn’t say much.
Zhang Jun turned his head and looked at the two with a smile on his face and said, “I have only one purpose on the court, and that is to win.”
“This is the awareness that a player should have, and it is also his responsibility. This is the awe of competitive sports.”
“So I don’t think about anything else and I never respect anyone on the pitch.”
Aldridge remembers what Zhang Jun once said. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was Zhang Jun’s NBA debut. Coincidentally, that game was played against the Lakers. Coincidentally, he almost knocked Kobe down at that time. Said the same thing after the game.
Aldridge was a little surprised and said: “The coincidence makes me feel like fate, Zhang Jun, I have a hunch that you will face off against Kobe frequently in this round of the series, and the two of you will fight fiercely.”
Luo Yin nodded in agreement.
Although he is the team’s shooting guard, the two have different styles of play on the court, and Zhang Jun has the talent and advantages on the defensive end. It may be better for him to defend Kobe than Luo Yin.

Although they have not been notified by the coaching staff at this point, there is a high probability that this will be the case, so Luo Yin also believes that at least Zhang Jun will bear a large part of the important task of defending Kobe.
“Anti-Kobe?”
“I’m pretty excited too.”
The hotel where the Trail Blazers stayed.
After watching Monty Williams go and come back, Volunteer’s Nate McMillan stood up and asked: “Have the players rested?”
Monty Williams shook his head bitterly and said: “After getting off the plane, Zhang Jun asked me if the team was ready for training. He went to shooting training early, saying that he had some insights in the middle distance and needed to practice Experiment on the field.”
Nate McMillan has long been used to Zhang Jun as a training freak. This guy always conducts extra training after games, and has practiced on the court privately behind the team’s coaching staff many times.
When the Trail Blazers started the training camp, Zhang Jun had repeatedly looked for players in the team to play heads-up. At that time, he had already shown signs of being a master of training.
As the regular season continued, Zhang Jun’s training intensity and frequency continued to increase. He was still a training expert, and he was simply a training maniac.
If the team hadn’t suddenly assigned Zhang Jun a coaching veteran named Francis, Nate McMillan might not have known that Zhang Jun would often assign training tasks to himself.
“That boy, I would be surprised if he didn’t go to the training place the first time he got off the plane. Although there is no time difference between Portland and Los Angeles, after all, the journey is exhausting. You should go and watch a little bit. Training for two hours will let you Zhang Jun go back.”
After speaking, Nate McMillan couldn’t help but smile speechlessly. I’m afraid he is the only head coach in the league who has to worry about players overtraining.
Monty Williams stood there and didn’t even think about moving. Nate McMillan looked up in confusion, and frowned and said, “What’s wrong?”
Monty Williams said truthfully: “Aldridge and Luo Yin also followed. Luo Yin’s singles skills are very similar to Kobe. It is estimated that Zhang Jun is going to play against Luo Yin and try his hand in advance.”
“Aldridge will naturally follow. The relationship between these three people has warmed up a bit too fast after experiencing the playoffs.”
Nate McMillan agrees with this very much. If players want to play well with each other and tacit understanding, feelings are essential.
Just like the gdp of the spurs.
“However, Luo Yin’s ankles and knees have always had potential injuries. This matter can’t be sloppy. We managed to reach the Western Conference Finals smoothly. I don’t want to fall short because of player injuries.”
“Therefore, Luo Yin’s training time must be strictly controlled. It is best not to engage in a bullfight with Zhang Jun. That little **** will be endless if he is singled out.”
Monty Williams nodded and said: “I asked Francis to pay attention to this matter in advance. He will remind Luo Yin not to overtrain, and there will be a complete set of warm-up exercises before the bullfight begins.”
Hearing this, Nate McMillan nodded in satisfaction and heaved a sigh of relief. With Francis watching, there should be no problem. The other party is a veteran worthy of entrustment.

“Just, Francis also followed?”
Nate McMillan couldn’t help but ask such questions.
He couldn’t believe that Francis went to the training ground because of Monty Williams’ request to pay attention to Luo Yin. It was obvious that Francis went to the training ground, and Monty Williams got rid of the opponent’s constant attention to Luo Yin’s physical condition.
Monty Williams smiled awkwardly, because the truth was exactly what Nate McMillan guessed.
He said: “Although Francis is a veteran, this is the first time he has reached the Western Conference finals. The excitement level is no worse than that of young players, so he is also very excited and takes the initiative to help the players with training.”
“and………”
Seeing that Monty Williams hesitated to speak, Nate McMillan had a premonition that the other party had some questions to hide from him, so he hurriedly asked.
“And what?”
Monty Williams could only say, “Channing Frye, James Jones, and Steve Blake followed suit.”
Good guy, I actually went to half of the team this time. This has almost become an in-team training.
Nate McMillan was about to curse that Zhang Jun must be the leader. The most disobedient in the entire Trail Blazers team is this kid. It is this kid who dares not to play team tactics on the court. It is still this kid who encourages the players not to play team tactics.
Except for Zhang Jun, Nate McMillan couldn’t think of anyone else who could do this and call so many people to train.
Monty Williams understood the unchanging mood on Nate McMillan’s face, and said: “This time you really wronged Zhang Jun. The other players went completely voluntarily.”
“They all cherish this opportunity to reach the Western Conference Finals and are very excited about the upcoming Western Conference Finals.”
“And, after all, the opponent is the Lakers, a strong opponent.”
Hearing this, Nate McMillan sat down on the recliner directly, and he was having a headache about this matter.
The Lakers have the league’s most luxurious inside combination, Gasol, Bynum and Odom.
Each of these three is a strong player inside and each has its own characteristics~www.mtlnovel.com~ There are really not many teams in the league that are stronger than their insiders.
It just so happens that the Trail Blazers have the worst interior defense in the league. They were already blown away by Yao Ming when they met the Rockets before. For the Trail Blazers, this defensive pressure is really not small.
“Steve Patterson called just now, and he hoped that we could draw 1-1 with the Lakers in at least the first two games, so that it would be convenient for him to return to Portland with the tie. Teams build momentum to attract fans to accept high ticket prices.”
“After all, a 1:1 tie means that everything is possible. The two teams are almost at the same level and have similar strengths. If they fall behind 0:2, there is a big difference in strength. The fans may find it difficult to accept.”
Nate McMillan said suddenly while lying on the recliner.
Hearing this, Monty Williams got angry and said, “That guy is nothing but giving orders and can’t do anything.”

“He can say whatever he wants. It is very difficult to tie the Lakers 1:1 at home in Los Angeles.”
Nate McMillan said: “While the guy was annoying, he really spoke to my heart.”
“We want to beat the Lakers, preferably with a 1-1 tie with them in the first two games.”
“Although some don’t want to admit it, the Lakers are indeed a stronger team than us in terms of lineup, so we need to be more prepared.”
