For a period of time, the Warriors were open to the media as they prepared for the Finals, and many media could come to Oracle Arena to interview Yang Di and other Warriors players on the spot, and shoot news materials.

The Warriors' players have become accustomed to long guns and short guns, and they are training on their own.

Several assistant coaches coached the main rotation players before the finals and conveyed the basketball philosophy set at the previous meeting.

The Finals are nothing more than playing the Pistons or the Cavaliers, and now it seems that the Cavaliers are more likely.

The Cavaliers are not as strong as the Rockets, and the rest of the players are not worth mentioning except for James.

Yang Di was trained by Ron Adams.

Ron Adams said: "Young, maybe in the Finals, you have to make an occasional cameo as a small forward, and you need to play against LeBron James. ”

"LeBron?" Yang Di nodded, James is indeed not a one-man defender, the Warriors have cultivated a group of swing guards, but James is too strong, and his physical fitness is comparable to the inside, even if it is Danny Granger, it is uncertain how good the real defensive efficiency will be at that time.

When Yang Di was in the Chinese team, he often served as a small forward, and he could play the No. 3 position to defend James, which was also a consideration to make full use of his physical fitness.

"In the G6 battle between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, do you expect the Cavaliers to win?" Yang Di suddenly thought and asked Adams instead.

"yes, the Pistons lost the crucial G5 game, which you know would be a very big blow, and the next game is Cleveland, and the Cavaliers are also among the best in the league in home win percentages this season."

"If the Pistons win Game 6, it might be." Yang Di thought viciously, it was best for the Cavaliers to play 7 games, so that the physical consumption would be greater, and the Warriors would play more easily.

"How was the last series against Chuck Hayes?" Ron Adams knew that Yang Di was still a little uncomfortable when he faced Hayes.

Yang Di shrugged his shoulders and slapped the basketball on the floor twice, "Hayes is really a magical player, his card awareness is too good, I barely had many frontcourt rebounds in the last round, no frontcourt rebounds, and the employment in scoring is relatively small, but I am also stuck on the defensive end, he can't get into the inside, and in grabbing rebounds, his awareness and strength are already top-notch." ”

"Among the Cavaliers, Ilgoskas's rebounding is okay, Drew Gooden is a very poor defensive player, I estimate that the Cavaliers may also use James to defend you, but if the Cavaliers defend like this, LeBron James's physical energy consumption will be great."

"LeBron is superhuman and has unlimited physical strength." Yang Di laughed and said humorously.

……

Before the Finals, the Warriors had to prepare until 5 p.m. every day.

Then there is the personal time of the players, and the players have a strict commuting system.

Yang Di will go home from work when the sun is about to set.

The traffic situation in Auckland is okay, at least when Yang Di comes home from the Oracle Arena, he generally does not encounter traffic jams, and after getting on the intercontinental highway, it is even more flat.

Today, however, there is a little bit of congestion in the city, there is a lot of traffic on the road, and the speed of cars is relatively slow.

Yang Di opened the window boredly, and while following the traffic forward, he enjoyed the scenery outside the window, blowing the faint breeze of summer.

There are passers-by on the side of the road, performing songs and dances.

Suddenly, a passer-by caught Yang Di's attention.

He sat quietly on a seat by the square, dressed in a crisp suit, but with a pair of torn canvas shoes on his feet, which seemed out of place with his overall style, and he looked at the traffic on the road, not knowing what to think.

"It looks like a financial person, but it's so down-and-out? Did he pick up clothes or steal a pair of shoes? Yang Di suddenly surged with curiosity.

But with the forward traffic, the man slowly disappeared from his field of vision.

Auckland was congested for more than ten minutes, then Yang Di turned a corner, got on the interstate, followed the stretch of Kangzhuang Avenue, all the way east, and drove home.

On the radio, some current events from around the world are still being broadcast.

Yang Di also heard the news of next year's Beijing Olympic Games, the main project of the Beijing Olympic Games has been completed, and China's financial resources have attracted the attention of the world, and it is effortless to withstand such a huge world event.

When Yang Di heard this, he immediately felt very proud, and he was especially looking forward to next year's Olympic Games.

After driving for half an hour, Yang Di returned to the small town of Olinda, but did not arrive in the town, he changed the road and drove to his home.

Da Mao Ermao immediately barked and wagged his tail to welcome the return of the male owner.

At this time, the sun is just setting.

.....

Night, East Cleveland.

In the Quick Loan Center, the Cavaliers and Pistons played the G6 battle in the Western Conference Finals.

James' super god play in the battle of Tianwang Mountain is impressive, and it can be said that he became famous in one fell swoop, and he became the brightest star in the entire playoffs with Yang Di.

The Cavaliers are on their way to their first Eastern Conference Championship, their first championship.

If the original Pistons are a super-first-class team in the same gear as the Spurs, without a big capital, at most it is a powerhouse in the East, even if the overall strength is higher than that of the Cavaliers, it is not much higher, and the outcome has become an unforeseen thing.

The Cavaliers are four, the Pistons are six, and the Cavaliers win the Pistons, which is not difficult to accept.

The Alliance's Young Guards are beginning to rise, and counting the young warriors, the speed of replacement is astonishing.

But I don't know why, the Cavaliers' victory over the Pistons, before G6, seemed to have become a thing that everyone expected, perhaps the drama of James riding alone is too much in line with the aesthetics of American personal heroism.

In the G6 game, the Pistons and Cavaliers were tied 48-48 in the first half.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers were only 19-18, leading by only one point in the first quarter.

But in the last quarter, an unknown young player suddenly broke out, and no one thought that the Pistons, who had dominated the East for many years, would be defeated by such a young player.

He's Daniel Gibson, a rookie who just entered the league in '06.

Gibson shot 5 of 6 in the final quarter, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 19 points in a single quarter, leading the Cavaliers to play an offensive wave, and what is even more terrifying is that he was just a substitute for the Cavaliers, of these 19 points, 17 points were scored in the first 7 minutes of the fourth quarter of the game, and the Pistons were taken away in a wave.

In fact, in the second half of the third quarter, Gibson had already scored 6 points, and there were a little signs of convulsions, but no one expected that in the fourth quarter, Gibson would be so crazy.

The Warriors' uniform team watching the game all looked at each other, not expecting this to be the end at all.

The Pistons lost to the Cavaliers 85-98, and Gibson scored a game-high 31 points, 25 of which came in the second half.
