On the night of May 27, the Bulls pulled another game to tie the score at 3-3, with a difference of only two points, and the Bulls narrowly won 85-83.

On May 28th, the two groups of tie-break battles began, first the Heat narrowly defeated the Knicks 79-74, the Heat scored two double-doubles, James 32 points, Bosh 21 points, and the others added up to just over 20 points, the Knicks were even worse, not a 20+, Bynum scored the highest score with 18 points and 22 boards, as well as Stoudemire's 17 points, Fields' 11 points, and Baron Davis's 10 points.

The Heat became the second team to advance to the division finals.

After the Heat advanced, the Lakers and Spurs began a tiebreaker.

This time, Duncan, who played an average of 36 minutes per game in the first six games and scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 2.3 blocks, couldn't help it, scoring 11 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-13 shooting.

……

Sun Ce and his teammates waited and waited, and finally waited for the next opponent to come out!

After watching the Lakers and Spurs' tie-break battle, Sun Ce said to Curry next to him: "Stephen, it's good that the Thunder team tried to win me, if I sweep them, I guess I will wait until the next round of opponents to go crazy." ”

When Curry heard this, he had an urge to hit someone, but he had long been used to it, but he didn't expect that this guy had already won the MVP of Lianzhuang but was still so inadequate.

Curry is okay, but Harden next to him has a black line on his face: Who are you talking about?

However, Harden immediately gloomed, although he is still on the Thunder roster, but being traded is a foregone conclusion, just waiting for the Finals to end and the trade window open, he will soon become a Warriors player.

After being traded the day before yesterday, Harden cried until midnight, and was about to faint from crying when he received a call from Curry and asked to communicate together.

But Curry's leg was injured and he was recuperating in his hometown of Charlotte, and the two discussed it for a while, it was better to go to Memphis to watch the West Finals together, and it happened that Memphis was next door to Charlotte.

Then the two came to Memphis this morning, visited Sun Ce in the afternoon, and watched the Lakers and Spurs tie-break together in the evening.

Curry didn't speak for a long time when he saw Harden lost, afraid that his new teammates would be hit by Sun Ce, and legend has it that OJ Mayo, who was as talented as Kobe, was hit by Sun Ce and lost his fighting spirit, and was ready to take Harden back to the hotel.

When Curry was about to apologize and leave first, Sun Ce spoke first: "James, don't be too sad, Oklahoma won't give you 10 million, isn't it good for you to go to Oakland to get the top salary?" Isn't it good to compete with me for MVP? ”

Sun Ce also found that what he said just now was a little wrong, he was just habitually pretending to be forced, but he didn't expect to stimulate Xiao Dengdeng's little heart, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Curry doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, as long as he's not a fool, he can see that Harden has the talent to be at least a second-team player, playing the sixth man, averaging 12 shots per game and 18 points per game...... This talent is definitely one top one.

But Harden was stunned and asked, "Lord, do you think I can get the top salary?" ”

"Do you think you can only get 8 million?" Sun Ce asked speechlessly.

Sun Ce has heard that some people have been said "you can't do it" by the people around them since they were children, and they are obviously very talented and capable, but they have no confidence at all when they grow up.

Harden is, his current mentality has not changed for the time being, and he is still the mentality that the Thunder management looks down on and the coaching staff is unwilling to reuse at a critical moment, feeling that he is content to play the sixth man with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Harden was moved when he heard Sun Ce's rhetorical greeting, but he didn't expect that the first person to praise his strength and think he was very strong was Sun Ce! Durant is also nice to him, but he doesn't say he has MVP-level talent, and Westbrook looks like a stern second brother who never praises.

Curry watched Harden be moved by Sun Ce's three or two words to tears, a swear word blocked in his throat, a sense of crisis, and immediately said: "James, you came to our team to be the core, you are the cornerstone of our team, I will throw your pass in, and I will pass you when you want to shoot." ”

Harden feels blissful!

How did the whole world think he was great after being traded? He hadn't heard anything like that on the Thunder, and they all said that he was the fourth Thunder player after Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka.

Seeing Curry excitedly and Harden emphasizing, Sun Ce suddenly had an idea and said to the two: "James, enter the playoffs with Stephen next season!" I'm sure you can. ”

Curry temporarily refused to be with Sun Ce, and asked vigilantly: "What does it have to do with you whether we make the playoffs or not?" ”

With this deliberately unfamiliar tone, how could Sun Ce not guess what Curry was thinking? Pretending not to understand, he replied, "I think your combination is very good, you still have David Lee and Tabitt, and so many pitchers, can you go into the playoffs and help me take out one of the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, and Thunder?" We're all brothers, so this little favor should be fine, right? ”

Curry and Harden were stunned by this, a little busy? Is this a small favor?

Curry left Sun Ce's house with a stick and pulled Harden's head without looking back, the driver was already waiting outside, and the two ran away like they were running away after getting into the car.

On the way from Sun Ce's house to the hotel where he was staying, Harden asked Curry, "Stephen, do the Lords really think we have a chance to beat those four teams?" ”

Hearing Harden's self-doubting tone, Curry hesitated, he really didn't expect Sun Ce to look down on them so much, this is not worthy of praise or derogation, just an evaluation of strength.

Curry looked at Harden and was not very confident, in fact, he himself was not very confident, but now he needed to be confident, and he inexplicably thanked Sun Ce in his heart, and said to Harden: "He can do it, why can't we?" ”
