As expected, the Nets won the first match by eight points. Many people criticized George Karl for not adapting to the situation and fighting with the Nets until the end. Did they forget that the Nets are better at defense?
The New York fans were excited. They had not seen such an exciting match for many years. See that? We, the Brooklyn Nets, can win without defense.
Both teams had scored more than 120 points in the finals. That was a record many years ago.
The Wind and Rain players were embarrassed, but Feng Yu said to them after the match. "You guys played well. Today's match was enjoyable. You were just unlucky."
None of the gamblers could guess the score. The bosses of the betting companies were overjoyed.
In the second match, both teams defended with all their might. This time, both teams' scores were less than 100 points, but the Nets still won by five points.
George Karl did not feel any pressure when he returned to Los Angeles with a score of 2-0. He had seen the Nets' adaptability in these two matches, and he had to admit that Jason Kidd was worthy of being the best point guard in the league.
"Coach Karl, do you have anything to say after losing two consecutive away games?" A reporter from Los Angeles asked.
"I have nothing to say."
"Then who do you think should take the blame?"
"Obviously me. I am the head coach of the team."
"The New York media claimed that the Nets will sweep our Wind and Rain team and successfully defend their title. What do you have to say about this?"
"I don't talk to those who like to speculate. I have found a way to win."
… …
Hmph! That Feng Yu must be regretting his decision. He had helped that Russian's team to rise, and now he had lost his chance to win the championship!
Paul Allen was delighted when he heard that the Nets had won 2-0 against Wind and Rain. It would be better if both of them fall out because of this incident.
Paul Allen sincerely hoped that something would go wrong with both teams. It would be best if both teams get injured in the playoffs. Let's see if they can still be arrogant next season!
"Eileen, are you leaving tomorrow?" Feng Yu hugged Eileen, reluctant to let her go.
"Yes. I will be going on tour to other cities tomorrow and will return to Moscow next week. It's time to prepare for the ballet. I want a perfect curtain call." Elena curled up in Feng Yu's arms like a kitten.
"Alright, don't be too tired. If you have any requests, don't hesitate to tell him. "
"Mr. Kirilenko takes good care of me. I know it's all because of you."
The two of them talked as they hugged each other. Unknowingly, they were entangled again.
Elena left. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, but Feng Yu encouraged her to pursue her dreams. If people had no dreams, their lives would be much more boring.
After sending Elena off, Feng Yu returned to the arena. The third game was about to begin.
This time, all the injured players were reactivated, and the Wind and Rain team dominated the game inside the three-point line. In the end, they won by 10 points.
The next day, the Wind and Rain team won again and changed the score to 2-2. Those experts and referees were shocked. They did not expect the Wind and Rain team to be so resilient and win two games at home.
Of course, the head coaches of both teams had thought of this.
In the next two games, both teams won their home games and lost their away games.
The fans of both teams and cities were in high spirits. The finals had come to a tiebreaker, and no one wants to lose.
"Everyone, listen up. We are serious now. In this game, we will focus on attacking from the perimeter, and the players inside the three-point line must take fewer shots to protect the rebounds. The players outside the three-point line must also be careful and attack the basket. Don't be afraid of fouls when you are defending. Foul hard, and don't give them a chance to score 2 + 1 … "
George Karl was planning his strategy, and the Nets were discussing their strategies.
At the same time, the bosses of both teams were in their offices, drinking and eating snacks.
"Feng, who do you think will win?"
"I think my team can win."
"Why? This is my home ground, and all the fans are from New York!" Kirilenko was unhappy.
"Because our reserves are stronger and have more fighting spirit. If you all want to win, wait until next year. "
Feng Yu is confident because he knows Kirilenko well. The Nets' highest scorer in the past few games is not Carter, Kidd, or Gasol. It's Andrei.
Kirilenko wants his countryman, Andrei, to be the MVP.
It's not that Andrei is not good. Andrei is an all-rounder, but his biggest weakness is his accuracy. If he wants to score higher, he must shoot more shots. Kirilenko's request had destroyed the Nets' strategy.
Feng Yu also wants Yao Ming to be the MVP, but Yao Ming and Gasol are restraining each other, and no one can win. Feng Yu wants to let nature take its course. The coach will decide who is more confident will shoot more shots.
"I don't think so. We will win, and Andrei will be the MVP. A Russian has won the MVP award in the best basketball competition in the US. How interesting. "Kirilenko took a sip of wine and enjoyed the moment.
Feng Yu shook his head. "Maybe."
The match began. This time, both teams held their breaths and wanted to win the final victory of the match.
In the first half, both teams are tied at 50-50, and both teams had committed more fouls.
Soon, the Nets' head coach's face changed. He realized Wind and Rain's intention. They want to send Gasol off the court, and there will be no more barriers inside the three-point line. As for Barea, Randolph, and the rest of the players inside the three-point line, their speed is too slow.
However, what he couldn't figure out was that the two defenders, Billups and Mobley, had committed too many fouls. If this continued, the two of them would soon be sent off.
Karl replied calmly. He is not afraid these two players will be sent off. Wind and Rain's two reserve defenders are both versatile defenders, and they can score and pass the ball well. If they were in other teams, they would definitely be in the starting lineup.
Gasol was sent off in the middle of the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, Billups, Mobley, and Yao Ming were all sent off.
At this time, the other two Wind and Rain's guards came out and took over the baton. Arenas and Ginobili shot from the inside and out, and three minutes into the fourth quarter, they have built a 10 point lead for Wind and Rain.
Arenas had been Curry's best player in the NBA. He shot two steps away from the three-point line, and the ball went in before Kidd could react!
Ginobili's strange rhythm made it hard for Carter to defend. The NBA's defense is much worse than Europe's.
The final whistle sounded, and Wind and Rain won by 12 points. When the MVP was announced, no one expected it to be Ginobili. He is only a reserve!
But Ginobili's average in these seven games is the highest for Wind and Rain, especially in the seventh game. He scored 32 points and helped his team win.
In the finals, a foreign FMVP appeared.
Feng Yu looks at Kirilenko. "What do you think? I said my team will win, right?"
Kirilenko replied excitedly. "Hahaha, the MVP is not an American. I can't wait to see the expressions of the NBA officials!"
Feng Yu: "… …" You are still so happy after your team lost? Brother Ki, you are too ambitious!
