This Forward is Not Serious

Jerry Sloan is coming to the Nets!

When the media reported this news, it sparked a heated discussion.

Those who originally focused on the competition have returned here.

Sloane!

Although Sloan has never been popular in the NBA. He has not had a best coach for more than 20 years and has never been able to lead his team to the top, but it is Sloan after all!

If you want to say that among the current coaches who are more famous than Sloan, they can be counted on one hand.

If Avery Johnson's combat effectiveness is evaluated as 60, then Sloan is at least 90.

This is a shotgun exchange for a cannon, a completely different person!

And just like Lin Ying thought before, many people also want to know whether Sloan can succeed!

Although Jordan is no longer in the league, the Knicks, Lakers, and Mavericks are all super teams, and it is rare in history to appear at the same time in one season.

To win the championship in a season like this is no less difficult than when Jordan was here.

And what makes fans even more confused is Sloan's age.

Sloan was 69 when he retired from the Jazz.

This comeback of 70 is about to turn 71.

In NBA history, there are only two Browns who are still coaching in the NBA at this age.

A Whoopi Brown, a Larry Brown.

And these two Browns were 72 and 71 years old when they retired.

Is Sloan going to challenge the record of the oldest coach in the NBA? Or do you think you have to retire after coaching for a year or two?

You must know that NBA head coaching is not a job that ordinary people can do. It consumes a lot of energy and physical strength.

Some fans even doubted whether Sloan could coach for a full season.

Including whether Lin Ying, a rising star, can adapt to Sloan's tactical system, etc.

And these all make the Nets particularly attractive in the new season.

…

After Sloan was confirmed to have come to the Nets, Deron immediately ran to Lin Ying's home.

The moment he saw Lin Ying, Delong burst into tears while hugging him. He burst into tears.

The man doesn't shed tears easily, but it's just not the time to get excited!

Delong really didn't expect that after he realized that he was wrong, he would have the opportunity to save such a mistake!

And the person who made all this happen, who he heard clearly outside the door that day, was Lin Ying.

He really didn't know how to thank Lin Ying!

Regardless of the end of this new journey, he would be grateful to Lin Ying for this opportunity for the rest of his life!

…

A week later.

The battle in the east has been completed.

4 to 2.

The Knicks eliminated the Bulls.

It's not the difference in strength, but the Bulls can't run out anymore.

The Bulls' style of play is actually very similar to that of the 76ers.

One person is the main attacker, and a group of people are defensive.

This main attack point is strong enough, and the defense of others is online enough, so everyone has a chance to beat them.

But this style of play is too expensive for the main attacker.

Rose has begun to show some physical reactions when playing with the Nets.

When it came time to play the Knicks, his left knee was injured in Game 4 and ended the season.

So in comparison, Iverson's endurance is also at a historical level.

So this is considered a change of direction by the Nets to assist the Knicks?

Some fans even hypothesized that if the Nets and Bulls play in the Eastern Conference Finals, would the Nets have a good chance of reaching the Finals?

The answers to both questions are clear.

The first one is obviously not the case. Of course the Nets want to win, and they will definitely do their best to win. As for whether they fail to win in the end, no one can predict it.

Because he might change direction to assist the Knicks, he deliberately didn't use his full strength?

That's obviously impossible.

The second question is a false proposition.

Because for this to happen, the Nets must be first in the Eastern Conference.

Otherwise, they will either encounter the Knicks in the semifinals, or they will still encounter the Bulls in advance.

So this assumption is not valid.

Defeating the Bulls, the Knicks advance to the Finals for the second consecutive year.

At this time, fans who support James began to imagine the future.

"The new dynasty is on the way, and the alliance is about to usher in the era of His Majesty the King!"

"Whether it's the Mavericks or the Lakers, they will become the biggest stepping stone for LeBron and the Knicks!"

"Come on, I can't wait to see His Majesty the King start the dynasty!"

…

Over in the west, the Lake-Cow War continues.

Although the Lakers lost G3, in G4, both sides were on the line. With Marion's outstanding performance breaking the balance, the Lakers evened the score again.

Interestingly, Marion is a former Mavericks player, and this counterattack was exciting.

Then in Tianwangshan, the two sides fought fiercely. During the regular season, Kobe made a perfect draw and dragged the game into overtime.

Then in overtime, Nowitzki made a perfect tie and dragged the game into the second overtime.

By the time we hit the back, players on both sides were out of breath.

This is really embarrassing for these old guys.

In the second overtime, Paul, the youngest player on the court, stepped up and took over the game. He scored 6 points to help the Lakers win Tianwangshan in a thrilling manner.

After the game, Durant couldn't help but call Lin Ying.

"Shadow, I'm going to win this bet."

"So what do you want me to do?"

Lin Ying had to be mentally prepared.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you after I win!"

The situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Durant is still the old general who likes the stage.

then……

Another week later.

After being cornered, the Mavericks unleashed an unprecedented desire to win in G6.

According to the words of Breen, who was commentating on the spot, the Mavericks' desire to compete surged out like a tidal wave.

It wasn't just the twin towers inside. On the front line, Artest was desperately fighting Kobe. Carter used one three-pointer after another on the offensive end to tell the fans that he could no longer fly and escape like before. He can pierce Yang with a hundred steps!

The Mavericks' G6 victory brought the game back to G7.

Then in G7, the Mavericks did what Los Angeles did again.

The Lakers played more tenaciously this time, and Kobe even helped the Lakers tie the score at one point.

However, at a certain moment, he found that he was not facing a person or a team, but a tide of will.

Yes, the Dallas people's desire for a championship is very familiar to him. It was a desire he also had after returning from BJ in 2008!

Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Kidd, Carter, Artest, Terry...

They have all held it in for too long!

A group of people who risk everything for the championship. Their desire is as strong and thick as Nowitzki's beard!

4 to 3.

Dallas wins!

Amid the roaring cheers of Texas fans, they won!

They made it back to the finals once again!

They will meet again with the New York Big Three who defeated them last year!

They have a chance for revenge!

"Ying, you win, what do you want me to do?"

Durant called again.

But he didn't sound very frustrated, but rather a little expectant.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait until I think about it."

Lin Ying also gave a similar answer.

The bet or something was just casual talk, and he wouldn't really let Durant do it.

Is it possible that he can still ask for Durant and Scarlett's AVI?

The two of them talked about the upcoming finals.

This time they didn't bet, not because they didn't want to bet, but because no one wanted to support the Knicks.

Needless to say, Lin Ying, James elbowed Chandler before, the Nets hadn't even gone to Brooklyn yet, and the two sides had become old enemies.

As for Durant, it’s not that he hates James as a player, but he doesn’t like the previous style of the media. He surpassed Jordan in one championship and so on. In addition, he plays a lot on social media, and he has become angry with some extreme James. .

At this time, it doesn't matter whether you hate James or not, he just doesn't like it anyway.

Therefore, both of them chose to support and be optimistic about the Mavericks in this finals.

And to say the least, they are the Texas Twins!

Played by Texas, how can you not support the team that is also from Texas!

The finals are about to begin, and media outlets such as ESPN have once again begun to stand up and lead the media and fans.

But what's interesting this time is that Steve A. Smith, who works for ESPN, stood up and sang the opposite tune.

"The Knicks will not be a match for the Mavericks, and LeBron will be blocked by Artest in the Finals, just like he did back then."

This year refers to the time when James was playing for the Cavaliers.

At that time, James was jointly defended by Artest and Battier and made 7 of 21. He scored 21 points on free throws, but only had 1 rebound and 0 assists. He had the worst game of his career.

Although Battier is gone, Artest has enjoyed a second spring this season, and his defense against Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers was even more impressive.

Therefore, although A. Smith's analysis is not the key to the finals matchup, it is not wrong.

But as a famous James star, Smith's remarks were quickly besieged by a group of James fans.

"Smith, are you still living in the last century? LeBron is playing point guard now! They're not even in position!"

"Smith must have fallen asleep, but even if they were facing each other, LeBron would beat Artest. Do you really think Artest is still 29 years old! He is already 32 years old!"

"Some people are black just for the sake of being black, but they will be slapped in the face soon!"

…

This wave of back-and-forth arguments was enough to heat up the scene before the finals.

On the contrary, the reaction of Mavericks fans was exactly the same as that of the Suns.

They are quiet on social media, but there is a longing inside that they have never felt before.

A success story is very motivating.

Just like the Suns inspired them to reach the Finals.

But this time, their desire was even stronger.

Because they not only have Nowitzki, but also Yao Ming.

Whether Artest can guard James or not is not actually the most important thing. The most important thing is how the Knicks guard their twin towers!

How big of a problem the Knicks have inside now, Bynum and Hibbert have already given answers one after another.

And not only do they have better insiders than those two, they also have two at once!

Tell me, what should the Knicks do?

…

The finals are about to begin.

Just then, the league announced the final batch of awards for the season.

All-Defensive and All-NBA teams.

All-Defensive First Team: Paul, James, Lin Ying, Ibaka, Howard

All-Defensive Second Team: Rondo, Kobe, Artest, Luol Deng, Garnett, Chandler

It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive year that Lin Ying has been selected to the All-Defensive Team!

However, this is also the first time in consecutive years that Kobe has not been selected for the first team.

Although the offensive end is still efficient, as he gets older, it is difficult for him to balance offense and defense.

Best team: James, Kobe, Lin Ying, Durant, Nowitzki

Best Second Team: Paul, Rose, Anthony, Howard, Yao Ming

Best third team: Rondo, Westbrook, Wade, Griffin, Bynum

Lin Ying finally made it to the best team for the first time in his career!

There is actually no suspense about this. If the top three players on the MVP list do not make it to the first team in the end, then this media session will obviously be unqualified.

It is a pity that although Deron performed well, he was not selected in the end.

…

Another week passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ying is still polishing his pull-up jump shot and turnaround skills in the training hall.

Moreover, Grover also began to improve Lin Ying in terms of emergency stop jump shots.

This advancement is mainly reflected in the fake action before the emergency stop jump shot.

Everyone knows that McGrady's pull-up jump shot is a must-have, but one detail that many people won't notice is that when McGrady pulls up, defenders usually stand still and watch, as if they were enchanted.

The fundamental reason is that defenders are more afraid of his breakthrough than McGrady's pull-up.

Because McGrady has a quick first step, plus height, long steps, and excellent explosive power.

If you focus on preventing him from pulling out, he will easily be passed by like a wooden stake.

After Lin Ying developed an explosive first step, he and Tracy McGrady can now be said to have the same purpose.

And he's taller and has longer strides.

So now he wants to advance and perform "magic" like Tracy McGrady. The key lies in his fake breakthrough, making the defender mistakenly think that he is about to break through.

This will involve fake action technology, which is another upgrade process.

However, to become a real killing weapon, a killing weapon definitely needs to be advanced.

Otherwise, last season would have been a killer.

Then this week, the first two games of the finals have been played.

It was not A. Smith who was slapped in the face, but James fans.

After two games, the Knicks fell directly behind 0-2!

The loss in the first game was not much. Although the Mavericks' twin towers were not limited as expected, the Knicks' own offensive performance was also very good.

After all, the Knicks are essentially D'Antoni's team, and offense is its strength.

But in the second game, A. Smith's words came true.

After losing weight, Artest faced James after losing weight, and showed the same determination as when he defended Kobe, which really caused James a lot of trouble.

So the final result was that the Knicks still couldn't defend against the Mavericks' offense, and then they couldn't start their own offense.

After a big defeat, the Knicks can be said to have returned home to New York in despair.

With such a big score, it’s hard not to have an idea:

Could this be the third time in James' career that he has been swept in the finals?

Thanks to the eternal KOBE for the reward~
