With a 3:1 lead, the Clippers are only one step away from winning the 2013 championship.
Min Congda was only one step away from collapse, but he had no choice but to put all the blame on the people of Miami.
I feel like the Heat, with such a super lineup, can't beat the Clippers.
Moreover, people in Miami are really bad-mouthed. They want to engage in public opinion wars and attack themselves.
I, Min Congda, am also a person who cares about face. If you do this to me, if my team doesn’t show you some color, where will my face be?
But after winning the game, he was about to win the championship. Min Congda could only console himself: Even if they don't win the championship, the Clippers won't be able to go bankrupt for a while. As the market value increases after winning the championship, it is considered to increase the amount of the lottery prize pool.
In the eyes of most fans and experts, there is not much suspense in the finals.
The Clippers had two consecutive big wins, and the Heat had no way to deal with it. The momentum of the series completely shifted to the Clippers.
If not for the fact that the world is changing too fast, Heat fans were still very excited after the second game, thinking that returning home would teach the Clippers a lesson.
As soon as the two games were over, the Clippers, who were on full fire, taught the Miamians a lesson.
The voices attacking Min Congda completely disappeared, completely disappeared.
The media that had previously revealed that Min Congda was a "second-level psychopath" issued an apology statement and privately reconciled with Min Congda.
The settlement method was very simple. Min Congda was compensated US$300,000. Min Congda was so happy that he completely forgot about the bad news that the Clippers were about to win the championship.
During his stay in Miami, he enjoyed the sunshine and beaches, went fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, and attended local Chinese parties. He received attention and welcome wherever he went.
The world is like this. Even if you are an enemy, as long as you are strong enough, the other party will respect and respect you even if they want to kill you.
On the contrary, if you have no strength or level, and if you lick your face and want to be friends, others may not be willing to pay attention to you.
All media are already ready for the Clippers to defend their title in Miami.
On June 16, the fifth game between the two sides was held at the American Airlines Center.
As the finals, the ticket price for this game hit a new low, and the Heat could not sell the tickets.
Because the audience is not very interested in this game, especially non-hardcore Heat fans.
Even if the Heat win this game and drag the series into the sixth and seventh games, the latter two games will be held in Los Angeles. What's the point of watching this?
Not to mention, there is a high probability that the Heat will lose this game and watch the Clippers win the away game. What's the point?
Are you leaving the show early again?
In short, this ticket is not easy to sell, and the ticket price is sold at a discount.
When the finals officially started in the evening, when Min Congda was sitting on the sidelines with his legs crossed watching the game, the camera cut to him, and there was no booing at all.
Why are you still booing? Is it useful?
Pat Riley, sitting on the other side of the auditorium, felt mixed emotions.
His basketball career should be said to be quite brilliant and legendary, whether as a player, coach or general manager.
In his long and miraculous career, there was only one person who gave him a strong sense of powerlessness: Michael Jordan.
When I was coaching the Knicks and Heat, I met Jordan several times in the playoffs. I tried every method but never won.
In the end, it was really spicy. I really couldn’t handle it. It was too naughty.
Except for Jordan, Riley didn't really pay attention to anyone else, even Phil Jackson.
But now, Min Congda is almost the second person to give him this feeling, especially since Jordan is such a shitty boss, which has reduced his aura a lot.
And Min Congda, like a mountain that is gradually rising from the ground, will soon straddle the dividing line between the east and west of the NBA.
This Chinese guy who doesn't play by the rules and has a fierce and fierce style is really the biggest variable in today's NBA.
Although the game has not yet started, it can be seen that everyone from the general manager to the Heat players themselves have little confidence.
Trailing 1:3, no team in history has been able to come back.
Unless a miracle of miracles occurs.
In 2006, when the Heat trailed the Mavericks 0:2, Riley inspired the whole team, and then went on to pull off the Mavericks in four consecutive games.
Seven years later, Riley has no confidence this time.
In 2006, they had three home games and they took advantage of them all.
Now, they only have one home court, and the Clippers' away ability is staggering.
As for the Clippers, the coaching staff discussed before the game whether they should give up one game and return to Los Angeles to win the championship?
After all, the Clippers won last year's championship on the road. Winning away games always lacks a bit of atmosphere.
Will they still win the championship on the road this year?
As a result, before there was much discussion, Min Congda heard about it and scolded him back, "You still want me to watch you lose?"
For Min Chongda, there is no benefit in winning at home.
The fine will still have to be paid, and the team will still have one more game to earn from selling tickets.
What's even worse is that after winning the championship at home, it's really annoying to have to celebrate with thousands of fans.
After hearing Min Congda's words, Tyronn Lue immediately gave up the idea of returning to Los Angeles and seriously carried out pre-game mobilization, striving to defeat the Heat in the away game and win the championship!
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were inseparable.
The Heat's veterans are fighting the final battle for hope and dignity.
As long as the game is not over, anything is possible.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Heat are just struggling.
Because the score between the two sides in the first quarter was 31:30, the Clippers led the Heat by 1 point.
It can be seen from the score that the game is completely at the Clippers' pace, and there is nothing the Heat can do.
Spoelstra has no more tricks. His last trick is to let go and let the players attack.
It is expected that Nash, Ray Allen, Wade and others can shine brightly and create miracles based on their personal abilities.
If they were both 7 years younger, this miracle would be very likely to happen.
But 7 years have been consumed so much, time is so ruthless.
Nash watched Curry running on the court like the wind and shooting such accurate and fast three-pointers. He had to sigh, can a point guard still play like this?
Wade looked at Harden, envious of his knees that could still do the European step. Wade's biggest killer move in this series was not his breakthrough but his mid-range shooting, and he was blocked quite a lot.
After Ray Allen suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder in the first game, he never regained his form.
And this historical three-pointer king also knows in his heart that his three-pointer record will not last long.
The era of three-pointers is gradually coming, and the Clippers' three-pointers have fully opened up in these three games.
Once they opened up the three-pointer, the Heat simply couldn't hold it back.
When the shooting rates are similar, the scoring rate of three-pointers is 1.5 times that of two-pointers.
Even if the three-point shooting percentage is worse, the scoring rate is almost 1.2 to 1.3 times.
In a high-level game, the final score difference may be only two or three points. If the opponent scores the same number of goals and he scores two more three-point goals, you will lose the game.
The Heat also have a shortage of three-pointers. Nash, Ray Allen, and Lewis can all shoot three-pointers.
However, they don't have the Clippers' system.
The Clippers, inspired by their system and state, were unstoppable.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Clippers launched a 22:11 offensive climax, completely widening the point difference.
Tyronn Lue, this devil, has become more and more obsessed with using this lineup since he learned the five-small fast lineup compiled by Min Congda.
Whenever I feel that the score is about to be drawn, I will line up with five players, and a wave of turtle style Qigong will go over, beating the Heat to the point where they lose all their armor.
There is no way, this is a new routine, and there is no solution in a short time.
Even for Min Congda himself, it would be difficult for him to come up with a solution right away.
It's not that they can't think of a routine, but that the Heat don't have that kind of configuration.
At halftime, the Clippers led by 12 points, and the second championship trophy was waving towards the Clippers.
The Heat did not give up in the second half. They let go and attacked the Clippers, once narrowing the point difference to 5 points.
But Min Congda looked at it and shook his head. This is not the Heat's winning style at all. You can get close to the score for a while, but if you can't contain the Clippers' offense, it's impossible for the Heat to win the game.
The Clippers stopped chasing and playing hard. They began to control points like they did in the regular season.
The score difference has always been maintained at around 6 or 7 points. The game was very exciting and even intense.
But the Heat players on the court knew that if they couldn't catch up, the point difference would be widened if the Clippers made a little effort.
With no cards in hand and no willpower to fight, the game gradually lost its suspense.
When there were 4 minutes left before the end of the game, the Clippers led the Heat by 7 points, but the fans at the scene knew that there was no hope and left the game early.
This exit is really too early.
When Min Congda saw it, I retreated too! gone!
Ada hurriedly stopped Min Congda and said, "Mr. Smart, why are you leaving?"
“There is no suspense in the game, I don’t want to watch it!”
With that said, Min Congda followed the exiting Miami fans and left from the fan channel.
Heat fans were very surprised. It was understandable that we left the game because we didn't want to see the Clippers win the O'Brien Cup.
Why did you, the general manager of the Clippers, also quit?
Min Congda really wanted to say, I don’t want to see it either!
The Clippers players didn't even realize that Min Congda had left the arena and gone back to the hotel.
As time passes, they are getting closer and closer to defending the championship trophy.
The substitute players have stood up, putting their arms on each other's teammates' shoulders, cheering for the players on the field, waiting for the final cheering moment.
As Curry hit his fifth three-pointer of the game and scored his 30th point, the Clippers led the Heat by 8 points, 108:100, one minute from the end of the game, and the game had lost suspense.
Spoelstra called a timeout, replaced the main veteran, and officially surrendered.
At this time, even the die-hard Heat fans who were looking forward to a miracle couldn't stay any longer.
Most of the seats in the American Airlines Center were empty, and the Clippers also replaced their main players and started celebrating.
When the buzzer sounded, the game ended. The Clippers defeated the Miami Heat on the road 114:106, with a total score of 4:1, and won the 2012-2013 NBA championship!
The Clippers players once again won the championship on the road. The players rushed onto the court with joy and cheered for their victory.
They not only defeated the Heat, they also defeated themselves, and even defeated their traitorous general manager.
At this time, the players should pick up the coach and throw him into the air, but it was Min Congda who was thrown into the air last year.
As a result, this year everyone looked for Min Congda on the court and found that he was missing! Where are people?
Ada told everyone at this time that Mr. Smart had returned to the hotel early and he did not want to celebrate in the away game.
It doesn't matter, the Clippers will fly back to California overnight, and his loyal Los Angeles will hold a grand welcome ceremony for Min Congda and his team.
Therefore, Min Congda could not escape the general celebration of winning the championship and the further increase in the team's market value after winning the championship: after the end of the season, the system informed Min Congda that the Clippers' market value had reached US$1 billion!
This improvement is simply terrifying, but it has also become a powerful motivation for Min Congda to continue working hard!
"In four years, although I didn't complete the task, I also increased the task bonus three times. I can be considered a talent!"
For Min Congda, the Clippers' championship was another major setback on his difficult journey (he caught fish for two days to regain his strength.)
For the NBA, the Clippers' championship is another new dynasty on the rise.
This year’s NBA ratings and playoff revenue have reached a record high.
Although only five games were played in the finals, the popularity, ratings and other aspects were all full, and the entire NBA showed a prosperous scene.
Adam Silva's position is also becoming more and more solid.
For other NBA teams, the Clippers' championship will set off a new round of reforms and undercurrents.
Big changes are brewing.
On June 27, in the NBA draft, the Rockets, who held the No. 1 pick, selected Victor Oladipo, a guard with considerable talent, with the first pick in the first round after trading down to no avail.
Overall, there is no big problem with this choice.
Antetokounmpo, whom Min Chongda recommended to Morey, was taken by the Bucks with the 14th pick.
The Bucks have undoubtedly been paying attention to this player for a long time. After all, the Bucks are an Eastern team that started paying attention to overseas players relatively early and have rich experience in using and cultivating overseas players.
Many teams have not noticed Antetokounmpo, the unknown kid from Greece.
Generally speaking, this year's draft is a small year. There are no players with particularly strong strength and popularity, and it seems to be ordinary.
But when the time came to July 12, when the free market opened, a super heavy bomb was dropped on the trading market:
The Brooklyn Nets completed super big deals with the Lakers and Celtics respectively.
The Nets sent Wallace, Kris Humphries, Tonik Santaguilla, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans, a 2014 first-round pick, a 2016 first-round pick, With the 2018 first-round pick, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Terry were acquired from the Celtics.
Immediately afterwards, the Nets sent out Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez, and acquired Kobe from the Lakers!
Kobe, who had the power to veto the transaction, agreed to the deal immediately.
He ended his 17-year Lakers career and teamed up with his old rivals.
