Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 486 The War of Gods, The War of Destiny

Compared to the close contest in the East, the West has already decided the winner.

The Suns defeated the Mavericks 4-2, returning to the NBA Finals once again.

The eastward migration of sharks has also influenced the landscape of the west.

With Shaquille O'Neal on the team, the Lakers are actually quite effective against offensive powerhouses like the Suns and Mavericks in high-level games.

With the Lakers now in a slump, the entire Western Conference Finals has become nothing more than an offensive battle.

The Suns won because they had one more three-pointer than two-pointer.

The Mavericks' advantage lies in having an unstoppable Nowitzki, while the Suns have no one who can contain Nowitzki.

The final deciding factor, however, is who has the better defense when both teams are on the offensive end.

The Mavericks have Chandler, making their interior defense strong enough.

While Howard may lack height, his contribution on the defensive end is no less than Chandler's.

Meanwhile, on the offensive end, Chandler's role is far less significant than Howard's.

Throughout the series, Chandler averaged 14.5 points per game.

Howard averaged 27.5 points per game, a significant difference in performance.

Although the Suns have returned to the Finals, the media and fans generally do not have high hopes for them.

The Suns' roster is almost identical to that of the 04-05 season.

They made it to the Finals that year, only to be cleanly eliminated by the Knicks.

Times have changed, and the Knicks' strength has declined, but as long as Yao Ming is there, the Suns' chances of winning are slim.

Yao Ming could play against Howard however he wanted.

However, once their outside shooting falters, the Suns don't have any unstoppable offensive players.

The same analysis can be applied to the Heat.

The Heat have Shaquille O'Neal.

Even with O'Neal and Kobe as a pair, they could still beat the Suns.

Not to mention that O'Neal is now paired with Kevin Durant, who is comparable to Jordan.

If the Heat can drag the Knicks into a Game 7 and have a chance to end the Knicks' new generation, then the two teams are on the same level.

Therefore, no matter which team makes it to the Finals, the Suns will be no match for them.

So, in everyone's eyes, this upcoming Game 7 will determine who will be this year's champion.

The Knicks, who had dominated the league for three years, continued their glory and achieved the only four-peat in NBA history.

Kevin Durant achieved legendary status in his rookie season, becoming the youngest player to lead a team to a championship as its core player.

The topic immediately generated a lot of buzz, and the focus was on June 2nd, at 6 PM at the American Airlines Arena.

That afternoon, the entire city of Miami seemed to be on fire, engulfed in a frenzy.

Having joined the NBA in 1988, the Heat are still quite young.

But from another perspective, a 19-year wait is long enough.

All the media outlets in Miami are analyzing the situation and believe that as long as they beat the Knicks, they are guaranteed the championship.

This is the Heat's last game of the season.

Even Mickey Arison, who is usually quite frugal, has been unusually generous this time, spending a lot of money on publicity and promotion.

As Tang Sen exited the airport and drove towards the city, he immediately spotted a giant hot air balloon flying over the city.

It was also painted in the same red as the Miami Heat's logo, making it extremely eye-catching.

As you travel through the city, you can see huge promotional posters for the team everywhere.

Especially Durant.

He shot a new promotional poster for this match.

He holds the ball forward with one hand, with only the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy behind him.

It was as if the new king was looking down on the entire alliance.

Because of the staggered schedule of the WNBA games, Hammon came to Miami with Townsend.

Several kilometers from the American Airlines Arena by the sea, the roads were already congested. Hammon couldn't help but say, "Tang, this really is the last game of the Finals."

Tang Sen nodded in deep agreement.

It seems the tickets are sold out, and they're in high demand, driving up the price to an extremely high level.

The ticket revenue from this one match alone would be enough for Alisson to spend some more on promotion. The further he goes, the more fans he'll attract.

Looking at the fans walking along both sides of the road, Tang Sen couldn't help but say, "If the Heat lose tonight, I'm afraid many people won't be able to sleep well."

If they lose, and then the Knicks win the championship, Heat fans will regret it for the rest of their lives.

"Tang, are you serious?" Hamon asked, somewhat surprised.

Her man is not just a trainer, but also the vice president of the league.

At this moment, Tang Sen said such a thing, could it be that...?

"what are you thinking."

Tangsen pulled Harmon into his arms.

The league can't afford to mess around with a competition of this caliber.

“My concern is whether Kevin can handle this kind of pressure.”

The Knicks don't care; they've forged a three-peat through blood and fire, a dynasty in their making.

The pressure of winning the championship with a perfect record that year was so great that Carlisle even wanted to lose the game, but he still managed to pull through.

The fact that the Knicks had players step up time and time again to drag the series into a Game 7 speaks volumes.

But what about the Heat?

A complete rookie who has never even reached the finals.

Especially Durant, in his rookie season, he achieved honors that many players can only dream of in a lifetime.

Now it's just one final step away.

If he leads the team to victory, he will be hailed as a legend.

All eyes were on him, hoping he could lead the team out of the encirclement.

Durant is still four months shy of turning 19, and Tang Sen is really worried that he won't be able to handle the pressure.

Tang Sen saw the report that Durant has an extremely rich private life.

Miami is sunny and sandy, and there's no shortage of beautiful women.

Durant has been photographed by the media more than once buying luxury cars and changing female companions frequently.

The fact that he changes women so often is enough to prove how much pressure he is under.

Not to mention, this is a battle of destiny.

The Heat and the Knicks.

Throughout the 1990s, the hottest topics in the Eastern Conference included how many championships Jordan could win, Ewing's status as the uncrowned king, and of course, the rivalry between the Heat and the Knicks.

There's PJ Brown's incredible 1-for-5 trade.

The underdog victory in 98 allowed Van Gundy to deliver a historic moment of clinging to a powerful figure.

In 99, the story reached its climax with the second-ever "Black Eight" miracle in history.

In 2000, the story was nearing its end, but it was still full of ups and downs. For two consecutive years, the Heat lost by a single point in a do-or-die game.

With this, both the Knicks and the Heat disbanded, Ewing aged, and Mourning was diagnosed with kidney disease.

Fights, suspensions, comebacks, game-winning shots, tough guys with tender hearts—countless stories have unfolded in recent years.

And Pat Riley.

He single-handedly created the Knicks' tenacious basketball style and witnessed their tragic Game 7 loss to the Rockets, finishing as runners-up.

Then, for the money, he joined the Heat and single-handedly created the equally ruthless Heat.

He was entangled with his protégé, Van Gundy, for four years.

In those years, every time Riley played in Madison, he was met with endless boos and jeers from New York fans.

A battle between master and apprentice, a battle between brothers, the Georgetown rivalry between Mourning and Ewing.

Those years were always a hot topic.

Now, as Riley returns to Madison Square Garden, New York fans are suddenly reminded that this guy is also a traitor.

At the Knicks' home games, the boos from the crowd were just as loud as ever.

Riley, in turn, responded in kind, as she always had, with incitement and flying kisses.

Now, after several years, the two teams have once again reached a decisive Game 7.

The ultimate champion of relationships, the path to godhood in relationships, all the grudges and affections in relationships, everything, will come to an end tonight.
