Reaching the finals is really a hard thing. It's not just about getting to the finals, but the day before the finals, the FedEx Arena was almost filled with reporters from TV stations and famous magazines.

During the technical training in the morning, someone was filming the entire process, and Sun Ce and others had to make corresponding actions to take photos for reporters under the instructions of the press officer.

This day was very tiring for Sun Ce. He got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the tactical training after the team closed the gym was over. Sun Ce was even more tired than usual and exhausted physically and mentally!

However, time seemed to fly by so quickly. June 14th arrived in a blink of an eye, and the day of Game 1 of the Finals against the 76ers arrived.

Sun Ce habitually woke up at 3 o'clock this morning. He had woken up at this time for the past two days. As an athlete who is quite self-disciplined in training, Sun Ce quickly got used to it after he set the idea of ​​getting up at 3 o'clock in his mind.

Already.

But I didn't go to training today. I got up, drank some water, went to the toilet, then lay down and took a nap. I was pulled up by Zu Ge at 7 o'clock, and the team had to gather at 9 o'clock in the morning to prepare for the game.

After breakfast and before going out to check the news, Sun Ce saw that the Heat had grabbed the headlines of major websites this morning!

James forced the palace to trade the center, otherwise he would apply for a trade.

Seeing Sun Ce's surprised expression, Zu Ge and Lily Collins came to Sun Ce's side and saw the news on the tablet.

"Look, this is probably not news revealed by the Heat, right? Why do I feel like it was revealed by James himself?" Sun Ce guessed.

"Why? James should never take the initiative to do something like this that harms his image again." Lily Collins analyzed from the perspective of a star.

Zu'e held the same opinion as Sun Ce: "James seems to have lost his image in this regard. My brother said that James can only restore his image now by getting honors."

Lily Collins has learned more and more about the NBA in the past year. When she thought about it, it seemed like this. How could James care about such a thing? She didn't even find it strange that James forced the baby to have a baby. She just thought it was strange before.

James will not take the initiative to reveal this news.

After reading the news carefully, the Heat are obviously being unreasonable. The news is also deliberately directing public opinion to the fact that the Heat are stingy and unwilling to pay the luxury tax. Looking at it this way, it really seems like the rumor leaked by James.

Sun Ce rubbed his head. This season has not yet ended, and there are opponents who are eyeing next season. It may not only be the Heat. Opponents that should want to compete for the championship but have been eliminated are starting to prepare for next season.

As far as Sun Ce knows, it is not difficult for James to attract high-quality pitchers to join him. Most of the time, high-quality pitchers reduce their salary or even a minimum salary to play with him. It is a very pleasant thing for a pitcher to partner with James.

The center is the most expensive, and even a high-quality role player center can be worth as much as a top-notch perimeter player.

Sun Ce turned off the tablet and ignored the matter for now, and said to Lily Collins and Zu Goe: "I'll go to the arena first. Should I come back to pick you up in the afternoon or should I ask the driver to take you to the arena?"

"You can stay in the arena and rest. The driver will take us there. We also have to pick up Scarlett. Yesterday, the team sent someone to deliver the ticket for her to us."

"ok..."

…

…

The final preparation time went by very quickly. It was 4pm in a flash. After eating something and resting for a while, I started warming up for the 8pm match at 5pm.

The two veterans, Nash and Battier, have been adjusting their physical condition for tonight's game since the morning.

The finals will be played soon. The closer to the start of the game, the more excited Sun Ce becomes.

This season has been so dreamy!

Suppressing this excessive joy, he patiently completed the pre-match warm-up, and while waiting to enter the stadium, Sun Ce opened the system screen.

In the past two days, there is not much improvement in three-pointers. Anyway, Sun Ce has been practicing hard and has made rapid progress in controlling the ball with his left hand!

Yesterday and the morning before yesterday, Sun Ce started practicing ball control with his left hand at 4 o'clock. It is not just simple dribbling, but breakthroughs, layups, starting speed advances, etc., all with his left hand. Especially early yesterday morning, Sun Ce specifically asked Zu E

I got up and tied his arms, played Yang Guo style for two hours, and ended the training at 6 o'clock.

His left-hand ball control has really improved tremendously in the past two days, and has reached a truly good level of B level, which is probably Durant's current ball control ability.

The better he controlled the ball with his left hand, Sun Ce discovered the bug in the skill of "shooting the bow from left to right".

When I first started doing something, such as writing or using chopsticks, my left and right hands felt much different. But Sun Ce feels that now he is practicing ball control with his left hand, he feels the same as he was practicing ball control with his right hand three years ago!

If this kind of progress continues, it is entirely possible for the left-hand ball control to be close to the right-hand ball control level before the start of the Olympic Games!

Maybe, we can work with Tim Hardaway to develop a cross-step breakthrough!

I diverted my overly excited emotions and turned them into longing.

Then I opened the system panel and took a look. I only used one star experience card in the Western Conference Finals. Although I released the ultimate move, there are still three ultimate moves that are useless. The top 13 double cards in history, S-level point guard card.

, S-level designated draw card, and Lin Crazy opponent player card. This is also a card that may be very good.

Play the 76ers... fuck him!

Just when Sun Ce was trying to think about things and adjust his emotions, the staff came to inform them to enter the stadium...

…

This season, no fan is happier than Grizzlies fans.

Even the fans of the Lakers who got Paul, the fans of the defending champion Mavericks, the fans of the 76ers who got Howard...

The Lakers are currently under a trade cloud. After being eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, there have been rumors that the Lakers will begin a drastic rebuild.

The Mavericks have already won the championship, but the Grizzlies are about to win the championship now, and the Mavericks will get older year by year. The Grizzlies are on the rise, and even the fans of the opponent 76ers are not as happy as the Grizzlies.

Also reaching the finals, the Grizzlies also have Sun Ce, the new Kelianzhuang MVP!

Amid wild cheers from Memphis people, players from both teams entered the stadium.

Sun Ce came to the midline to greet Evans.

Rarely, Evans took the initiative to speak: "Noah, I didn't expect that it would be the two of us who ended up here."

Evans thought back to the freshman boy who followed him around during workouts three years ago.

"But I knew from the beginning that you would be as strong as James." Sun Ce was talking about averaging 20+5+5 per game in his rookie year.

"..."

Evans was speechless. It was not easy to get Evans to say a word first.

Sun Ce did not continue to chat and went back to his own half to practice shooting. Nash, Tony Allen and others were still chatting with their familiar opponents.

Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opposing players.

"Howard, S grade, offense A, defense S, rebounds SS; Evans, S- grade, offense S, defense A-; Iguodala, A grade, offense B+, defense S-; Holiday, B+

Grade B, offense A+, defense A+; Williams, grade B, offense A+, defense C+; Young, grade B+, offense A, defense C+; Hawes, grade B, offense B+, defense C; Meeks, B

Level, B+ in offense, B- in defense, A in three-pointers... These 8 people are the main rotation of the opponent..."

Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players. Several core defensive players are either young or in their prime. They can play up to seven games and can fight hard. They don't care about their physical strength after the game. They are difficult to deal with!

Back then, the Pistons and Spurs only rotated eight or nine players in the finals, but they tortured their opponents to death.

The 76ers also relied on their iron-blooded defense to wreak havoc in the Eastern Conference!

Soon, at 7:58 in the evening, the referee signaled that the starting players of both teams could take the field.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, Sun Ce put on his equipment and came to the center circle, and Howard also came to the center circle.

Looking at Sun Ce opposite, Howard was very excited. It was finally time to take revenge on Sun Ce!

He failed to avenge the last person who dunked him in the finals. This time he must avenge himself!

The teammates who started with Howard were Evans, Holiday, Iguodala, and Thaddeus Young. Except for the impact of injuries, this lineup has not changed throughout the season.

The teammates who started with Sun Ce were Nash, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol.

The Grizzlies aim to strengthen their offense. The 76ers' offense is quite poor, averaging 98.2 points per game in the regular season. Mainly because of their good defense, they only concede 93.6 points per game.

In the playoffs, the 76ers played 20 games in the Eastern Conference, averaging 92.1 points per game and conceding 89.5 points per game. They were so fierce that it left people speechless.

When playing against the 76ers, the more important thing is offense.

Having once again determined his strategic goal for tonight, Sun Ce saw the referee coming and prepared to jump the ball.

Looking at the pressure garment on Howard, Sun Ce knew that Howard would definitely undergo back surgery in the summer. This would reduce the risk of back failure in the future and reduce the pain caused by back injuries.

However, such surgery would also have a relatively large impact on Howard's physical fitness.

There is a high probability that this season will be Howard's final peak. He has fallen off the cliff directly from the peak. Sun Ce is a little sentimental, but at the same time he is even more excited about this finals.

The final showdown with the pinnacle of Warcraft!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

Howard was not careless. He jumped up with all his strength and pushed the ball backwards. When he landed, he saw Sun Ce retreating back.

Howard wanted to learn from his mistakes, but he just acted like he didn't expect to win the jump ball in the first place. Could he be beaten a little more?

Evans advanced to the frontcourt and met Paul George's defense and gave the ball to Holiday, who directly charged Nash.

He was able to reach the finals in the third grade and was still the main combo guard. Holiday was very excited to pass Nash, who was defending very hard, and rushed into the paint. He took one step inside the free throw line and made a flying throw before Gasol was in place to defend...

…

"Pa"

Sun Ce slapped Holiday's throw out of bounds.
Chapter completed!
