Chinese fans were a little disappointed, and some of the initial fantasies were that Yao Ming and Yang Di would meet on the stage of the finals, and they were both out.

In addition to the Lakers to advance, there are also Kings, Timberwolves and Spurs in the West, and in addition to the Heat, there are three teams in the East that are the Pacers, Nets and Pistons.

Once in the second round, the stage is smaller but higher, and the eyes of basketball fans around the world are focused on every player who is still playing.

The Heat faced the Pacers, who had the best regular season record in the East, in the second round, and the team with the lowest odds to win the championship according to the media.

Yang Di felt that the Heat had a chance, and he always had a feeling when he was on the court, as if he could beat any opponent. The Pacers are not an invincible team, and on the defensive line, Jamal Tinsley and Reggie Miller are not known for their defense, so they rely on Artest as an outside gate to maintain a pressing defense on the outside.

And the outside line of the Heat, Wade, Alston, Eddie Jones, and Caron Butler are all capable of sudden shooting, with deep practical skills, and they are no worse than the Pacers.

The only thing that the pundits have to say is the inside, and the Pacers' O'Neal Jr. is the league's top interior lineman, and it is the third season that he has maintained 20+10 stats, ranking third in the regular season most valuable votes, behind Garnett and Duncan. Relatively speaking, Odom, the interior offensive banner that the Heat rely on, is obviously one level lower.

Amid the divergent opinions, on May 6, the second round of the game began, and the Heat and Pacers played for the first time.

In the Conceco Arena in Indianapolis, the Heat lost to the Pacers by 13 points 81-94, and Wade, who had experienced a round of tempering, played well in this game, scoring 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but the Pacers' offensive defense was significantly more stable, Artest scored a game-high 25 points, and O'Neal Jr., who was focused on defense, only scored 12 points, but he alone caused the Heat eight fouls and seriously damaged the Heat rotation.

"I thought I could win." Yang Di sighed, he couldn't play, he could only watch the team be defeated, and this sense of powerlessness made him especially want to play.

But just think about it, his first job is to recover from his injuries, stay in shape and build muscles.

The Heat lost two games in a row in Indiana, and the players were out of breath after falling behind 0-2, and they finally experienced the feeling of the Hornets in the last round, and the third game became a key battle of life and death.

"We are not alone, we are carrying Yang Di's dream together."

Wade shouted the slogan, returned to the American Airlines arena in the third game, and faced the Pacers all over the court, slashing 33 points and 6 assists, including 12 free throws, hitting 11 goals, which shows how ferocious he is.

The Heat also won this game, winning 94-87.

On May 12, the fourth game between the two sides became the most anxious game of the series, and Jermaine O'Neal finally broke out, turning over the river and creating countless opportunities on the Heat's interior line, scoring a game-high 37 points on 12-of-24 shooting and also scoring 12 free throws, just like Wade's last game.

It was such a supernatural play, but they still failed to get a victory, and the three of Wade, Eddie Jones and Odom scored at the same time to break 20, 100-88 and finally won the game.

With a 2-2 equaliser, Miami fans seemed to see hope.

And this year's strange thing is that the remaining three duels in the second round were all fought 2 to 2, and at the same time entered the competition for Tianwang Mountain.

This is tantamount to making the playoff arena of the whole league even hotter.

On May 13, the Lakers and the Spurs battled for Tianwang Mountain, in this classic game, Fisher defeated the Spurs in 0.4 seconds and helped the Lakers win the key game of the series.

The day after the game, Yang Di's home welcomed a special guest.

When the tall body stepped into the suite, the entire living room seemed to be one size smaller, Yang Di wanted to stand up, he hurriedly took an arrow step and helped Yang Di sit down.

"Don't be so particular about injuries when you're hurt." Yao Ming laughed and sat on the sofa.

Bill Duffy and the others, who came in at the same time, brought the door, and Yang Di waved to greet them.

"Yang Di, how is it now?" Yao Ming patted Yang Di on the shoulder, and his tone revealed a sense of concern.

"It feels okay, the restoration should be okay, and the fixing plate can be removed immediately." Yang Di smiled and spoke, thinking to himself how to express the recovery progress bar of 18.8%, good or bad? It should be good.

Yang Di pointed to the tea leaves on the table: "You make your own tea, I can't stand up." ”

"Where's the girl? Didn't you say you have two girls who take turns taking care of you? Yao Ming looked left and right, looking like a thief, wondering if Yang Di had hidden his sister-in-law.

"What are you looking at, people don't want to go to work, I can solve it by myself in broad daylight." Yang Di rolled his eyes.

"That's right." Yang Di asked Yao Ming: "Aren't you going to the Olympics?" Why do you still have time to come and see me? ”

"The Olympics are early, it's August, and it's only May, so I just need to participate in the last training camp." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Bill Duffy said: "Yang, I have invited an internationally renowned physiotherapy restorer for you, and after your initial recovery, I will help you design physiotherapy, rehabilitation, recovery from sports injuries, etc. ”

"Oh, that's great." Although Yang Di felt that it was not necessary in his heart, he was still very grateful to Bill Duffy on his face, this agent really thought about him.

Yao Ming said: "Yang, recover well, next year, I look forward to fighting you again." ”

Yang Di: "Yes, rest assured, I will be able to recover 100%, and I will become stronger and stronger in the future, you can be careful, don't be robbed by me of the name of the first brother of Chinese basketball." ”

Yao Ming was embarrassed: "Don't be kidding, what a brother." ”

On May 15, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain at the Pacers' home court, the Pacers won by 18 points in the third quarter and finally won this crucial game 94-83.

The Heat were pushed off the cliff and were eliminated from the tournament in G6, losing 70-73 to the Pacers three days later.

It stands to reason that six games against the Pacers, who are the No. 1 player in the East, is already very good, after all, the Heat are very young players, many of whom are participating in the playoffs for the first time. But as soon as fans think of O'Neal Jr.'s performance of averaging 25 points per game in this series, they miss the fierce No. 8 who gradually faded out of sight.

If he's still around, it's not so easy for O'Neal Jr. to score, right?

After that, the Western Lakers eliminated the old enemy Spurs, the Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Kings in seven games, and the Pistons defeated the Kings in seven games, and the East and West entered the finals respectively.

In the Western Conference finals, the Lakers won one game and then equalized the home court advantage, leading the Timberwolves 3-1 and making a strong start, and finally advanced to the finals 4-2, realizing the lowest wish of the F4 team. In the Eastern Conference Finals, O'Neal Jr. suffered an injury during the period, and he did not lead the team to win the series with an injury, and the Pistons entered the Finals 4-2.

In the 04 Finals, the Pistons played against the Lakers!
