In this way, the teams in the Eastern and Western finals are very obvious.

In the East, the Heat vs. the Pacers, and in the West, the Nuggets vs. the Grizzlies.

If it is expected that the Eastern Pacers and Heat can enter the Eastern Conference Finals, then the Western Conference Finals Nuggets vs. Grizzlies is really unexpected. 、

The Nuggets have always been a fish belly, and only the two years that Billups and Carmelo Anthony worked together were considered a league powerhouse.

But he never made it to the finals.

The Nuggets, which are now rebuilding, suddenly entered the Western Conference Finals, which is in the West, and the eliminated teams include the Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, Lakers and other super teams.

The Nuggets' trade this season has also been praised by the media.

TNT News:

"Being able to trade Iguodala and Darko is definitely the most successful option for the Nuggets in the past decade, and in the draft ten years ago, the Nuggets uniform team was happy that the Pistons chose Darko with the pick, but now it seems that maybe they chose Carmelo Anthony, which is better for the Nuggets."

"Iguodala has also been better than expected. He played well on both ends of the floor. ”

Fox News:

"Perhaps, this year, the Nuggets can really complete the legend of the Kings and quickly win the championship after the rebuild."

In the eyes of all the fans and media attention, the East-West finals began.

Western, not much of a problem.

The Nuggets have a big advantage against the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies are strong on the inside, but the Nuggets' strength lies in their all-roundness, winning each game by relative advantage in four games in a row.

The Grizzlies were powerless.

The lack of a ball-handling superstar on the outside, and the overlapping skills of the two on the inside, all affect the strength of the Grizzlies, and if the lineup remains the same, it is almost impossible for the Grizzlies to win the championship.

In the East, the Heat played against the Pacers, and it wasn't much of a problem.

When the Pacers are in good shape, they can slightly limit the Heat, which causes some difficulties for the Heat, but overall, the Pacers can't withstand the bombardment of James and Wade.

In this way, the finals are also decided.

In the 2012-2013 Finals, it was the Nuggets vs. the Heat.

As soon as the roster came out, the media began to predict this season's Finals matches.

"The Nuggets are on the rise and are expected to replicate the Kings legacy."

"The Big Three of the Heat are taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, swearing to fight to the death to defend the honor of the Big Three."

"Darko: I'm ready, this is my favorite battlefield."

"The Battle of the Strongest Kings in '03, the Redemption of Dacomilisic!"

"James: We want nothing but victory."

……

On June 6, 2013, the first game of the finals began.

The Heat host the Nuggets.

In the first game of the finals, both teams played very hard, and the tactics were implemented as well as possible, and at this time, the gap between the two teams came out.

The Nuggets are both inside and out.

Darko is the pivot, the high post is the main playmaker and offense, Gallinari, Iguodala assists, and other role players are also playing well.

The Heat are centered around the Big Three. It should not be said that it is centered on the two giants.

James' efficiency in the first game was average, because Iguodala defended very well, which greatly limited James.

When Iguodala first entered the league, the ceiling was very high, but now, many people think of him as just a role player.

The 76ers also swept Iguodala out of the way last season.

But when it comes to the Nuggets, Iguodala has performed very well, with all-round offensive and defensive capabilities, and perhaps the biggest problem for Iguodala is that he can't do his best on the offensive end, which always feels a little worse.

But with the Nuggets, that's not a problem.

In the first game, the Nuggets played very well tactically, suppressing the Heat all over the court and killing the Heat on the road.

After this game, the winds in the media changed again.

TNT News:

"Darko is a real superstar, a brother locks James, and the Nuggets are expected to replicate the legend of the Kings."

Fox News:

"The most incredible championship in NBA history, if the Nuggets win the championship this season, it will become the most incredible championship in NBA history, if the Kings championship is won after a year of accumulation, then the Nuggets really picked up the championship."

"The core of the team, Iguodala and Darko, were almost sponsored by the other two teams and given to the Nuggets, which is very rare in NBA history."

……

After the first game, experts were generally bullish on the Nuggets.

No way, Iguodala was too successful in defending James, James shot just over 40% in the first game, and got 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, which was a new low in the playoffs.

Unbelievable!

If it goes on like this, the Nuggets will win the championship, which is really very hopeful.

But at this time, Qin Yang met a reporter on the farm and expressed his opinion:

"I've seen the Heat win more, why? There is no reason for a team to win, apart from tactics, the most important factor is other factors. ”

Qin Yang's words also caused heated discussions.

June 9th.

The second game of the finals begins.

In this game, James changed his play, Bosh and James began to block and pick, and James avoided Iguodala before attacking.

The Heat's offense turned on all at once.

Not only that, Gallinari encountered Wade's tenacious defense, making 4 of 16 from the field, and the Nuggets didn't want it.

The Heat's second home court, pressed strongly, and didn't give the Nuggets a chance.

The two teams drew 1-1.

After the draw, the experts changed their tone again: the Heat team has a high probability of winning the championship, and the Nuggets team lacks championship temperament.

Anyway, it's good that you're happy.

In the third game, the Nuggets who returned to their home court played very tenacious, and Darko's defense was very strong, but in the fourth quarter, Wade and James attacked continuously, and with three minutes left, Darko left the court with six fouls, and then in the last three minutes, the Heat reversed the difference.

2-1。

The Heat made a stop.

In the fourth game, the Nuggets faced the Heat at home, and this game was a battle for the Nuggets, and if they lost, there was almost no possibility of winning the championship.

The Heat also want to win the game as soon as possible.

The two teams battled it out until the fourth quarter.

For the first time in the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied, and Darko scored the last shot, and the two teams battled for overtime.

Extra time.

Both teams were tired, and this is when the real giants appeared.

Bosh, who has been sprayed by fans for more than two seasons, stood up, and at the critical moment, Bosh hit two consecutive shots, singled with his back, and shot in a misplaced position.

And that's not even counting, Bosh blocked on the defensive end, got the rebound, and took the Nuggets away with a wave.

3-1, the Heat took the match point.

Game 5, back to the Heat's home court.

Everyone thought the Heat would win this game.

But at the critical moment, the Daktronics broke out.

"The only thing I've learned from Bruce is to never throw in the towel until the last minute."
