"Okay, I respect your choice, Downey. At the moment, I just want to focus on the game. We are going to the finals, man. This year, I think we have a great chance."

"That's right Bird, we can definitely win."

"Well, definitely, I won't wait until next time."

After Bird finished speaking, he walked out of the door of the general manager's office.

Cracks or whatever, put them aside for now.

No matter what, he must first bring a championship trophy to his hometown.

※※※

After the battle at Tianwang Mountain in the East, the Spurs also cleanly defeated the Suns in G5.

This means that the Spurs have advanced to the finals twice in three years and are truly in the Western Ivy League.

If you choose the right number one, you can do whatever you want.

If we talk about the regular season, D'Antoni wants to tell the entire league that times have changed.

Then in the playoffs, the Spurs told Mustache: "The times haven't changed yet."

At the American Airlines Center in Phoenix, Suns fans witnessed the moment the Spurs won the Western Conference championship trophy.

At this point, they can probably understand Ray Allen's anger.

In this round of the series, Bruce Bowen, although he didn't do any dirty tricks to Nash, he still made a lot of small moves that he should have done.

Kicks in the balls, elbow strikes, vicious collisions...Nash was thankful that he finished this series safely.

Watching Bowen, a guy with a lot of misdeeds, grandly win the Western Conference championship trophy, Phoenix fans felt quite uncomfortable.

Nash won the MVP, but lost the chance to compete for the championship.

If possible, he might rather trade the MVP for a ticket to the finals.

At the press conference after the award ceremony, most reporters asked Popovich questions related to the Finals.

Since it is related to the finals, the Pacers and Wayne must not be skipped.

"The Pacers are now leading the Heat 3-2. What do you think their chances of reaching the Finals are?"

"I only care about my own game, my friend."

"So, if you had to choose, which opponent would you rather face?"

"No matter who we face, we will do our best."

Popovich's attitude made reporters very angry.

After all, we are old people. Popovich knows very well what should be said and what should not be said.

Popovich dealt with it easily, but when an Indiana reporter stood up, the smile on the old man's face disappeared.

"Craig, are you afraid of Wei? Why do you avoid talking about similar issues?"

"I? Fear Wei? His dirty deeds may scare others, but they don't scare me." Popovich pretended to be calm. In fact, he felt that his teeth had begun to hurt. This question was too immersive.

Stronger!

That’s right, I’m just afraid of meeting Wayne!

It's not that I'm timid, it's mainly that guy Wayne... whoever it is would be panicked!

"Dirty? You mean, dirty behavior like Bruce Bowen's?" Yincheng reporters kept asking, saying that he deliberately caused trouble today.

"...Bruce just has this defensive style, and I am also satisfied with his defensive style."

Well, you can never wake up an old double standard.

"What's so dirty about Wei? Just because Bowen accidentally knocked out your tooth because Bowen failed to step in, are you still holding a grudge? In the final analysis, Bowen was the one who made the move first, uh...

Move your feet!"

Bowen: I rely on my skills to make a living, why can’t I do that?

Popovich did not continue to answer, but stood up directly and left the press conference.

Popovich may be the first in history to leave the game angrily just after winning the conference championship.

Winning this Western Conference championship is really heartbreaking.

Of course, this is not the most worrying thing.

Because one day later, in Indianapolis, the most worrying thing for Popovich was happening.

After experiencing a major blow in the Battle of Tianwangshan, the Heat did not rise up as Miami fans imagined, winning two games in a row.

After experiencing setbacks, they felt somewhat lacking in stamina.

In Game 6, Wade was completely lost and lost all the energy he had before.

Eddie Jones also lost his touch and failed to assume the responsibility of being the second scoring point.

It is estimated that after this game, Wade and Shaq will start complaining that Eddie is too soft to fight tough battles.

In the original history, wasn't this how Eddie walked?

The entire Heat's offense can only be supported by that old shark.

We all know how difficult it was for the Heat on the offensive end today.

Shaq played so hard today that Barkley even joked: "He may lose 10 pounds after this game."

Under O'Brien's tight defense, Shaq took 18 shots, the most in the series, and scored a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds. He caught the shadow of his former self and achieved the second place in the regular season MVP.

But Wade and Eddie Jones were too much behind. Today, the Heat's shooting percentage as a team was only 40.6%, and the three-point shooting percentage was only 23.1%.

Wade and Jones have to bear the main responsibility for such a low shooting percentage.

Shaq tried his best, teammate CBA.

Kobe believes this is the best playoff game he has seen this year!

Shaq, Shaq, you are right, Wade is indeed better than me.

Even blacksmithing is better than mine!

"Humph, go ahead and regret it, Shaq. It's no use even if your intestines are full of regret. You have lost me forever! Live your whole life with your brother Wei!"

The arrogant Kobe Bryant did not make it to the playoffs, but Honey confidently felt that Shaq, who reached the conference finals, would miss him...

The game was over in the third quarter, because the Pacers already led the Heat by 22 points at that time.

The entire fourth quarter is almost garbage time.

The Yincheng fans also became restless.

After five years, the Eastern Conference champion returns to Indianapolis!

This year, there were no Pistons causing trouble, no heartbreaking losses.

This team is in perhaps its peak form, launching an impact towards the O'Brien Cup.

"This time, there were no surprises! The Indiana Pacers ended the game cleanly at home. 4-2, the Pacers successfully advanced!

This also means that the Spurs VS Pacers finals that we have been waiting for for a long time is about to take place!"

Popovich watched the Pacers players lifting the Eastern Conference championship trophy on the TV, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

Bad fate, simply bad fate!

When Wayne watched Bird in a suit lift the Eastern Conference championship trophy above his head, he couldn't help but cheer like everyone else.

Although it is only a division championship, it is still a championship, so I must be very happy!

But just as he was about to reach out to take the championship trophy, there was a sudden sound in his ear.

This...after many days, it’s finally time to work again!

Wayne quickly called up the task interface and took a look, obediently...

This time it was exciting.
Chapter completed!
