Amid the boiling cheers of Golden State fans, the Warriors defeated the visiting Rockets 109-99 at home, won the G5 game, and reached the Finals.

The Warriors are in the Finals for the second year in a row!

San Francisco became a sea of joy, with streamers floating above Oracle Arena.

Flowers flew and applause thundered.

Under the spotlight as bright as day, Yang Di opened his hands and listened to the worship of all the fans at the scene.

"Congratulations!"

Yao Ming walked over and opened his arms with a wry smile.

Yang Di smiled, opened his arms, and hugged his old friend heavily, and when the game ended, the tense atmosphere of the two sides disappeared, and he suddenly showed a feeling of sympathy.

"Thank you, I love the feeling of playing against you, it's competitive." Yang Di said.

"It's a pity that we didn't make it to the finals, otherwise I would have liked to have a taste of what the finals were like, and it must have been great." Yao Ming said with a little regret.

Yang Di patted him on the shoulder, Yao Ming was about to bend down a little, and the two just hugged him.

Yao Ming said in his ear: "I am going back to Shanghai in the summer, remember to come to my house as a guest." ”

"Okay, let's go fishing."

"I can go back fishing now, you have to win the championship, or I'll be disappointed." Yao Mingle said happily.

Yang Di nodded.

The cameras around were focused on two of China's best stars.

ESPN's footage shows a comparison of Yao Ming and Yang Di's series, Yao Ming can average 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, while Yang Di is obviously more energetic and comprehensive, averaging 33.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game.

Afterwards, Yang Di hugged Maddie.

Maddie still has a little regret on her face, but she is also very free.

"It's a shame that I still lost to you."

"Between the two and the second, we can only say that we hit a lot of key balls, and the game is like this, there are losses and wins, and no one knows what will happen in the next second."

Yang Di said with a little modesty, which was very different from his usual style.

When he was in the series, he was very sharp in front of the media, all kinds of ridicule, and his ability to attract hatred was very high, and many players hated him so much.

After saying this, Maddie suddenly felt that Yang Di was really a big person, and his eyes, which were not very pleasant, eased a lot.

"You've done a really good job, you've had a really good series, and hopefully you can win the championship."

Yang Di's members of Team Rocket high-fived and hugged the past.

Especially Hayes, Sean Battier, Mutombo and former teammate Alston and others, these players who have played against Yang Di, every Yang Di remembers, are very good NBA players.

Subsequently, the Warriors also had to present the Western Conference championship, and before the Finals, it was a small award.

Yang Di held the trophy high, shining brightly.

.......

The Warriors won Game 5 and opened the door to the Finals.

In the East, the Pistons and Cavaliers also need to play a G6 game in Cleveland, with two days off in between, plus a rest day after the division finals, and the Warriors have at least four days to prepare for the Finals.

At the same time, the league's rookie boot camp began to continue to be hot.

This year is a big year for the draft after '03, and many superstars have attracted the attention of many scouts, Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Joakim Noah, Al Horford, and a very high proportion of high-quality interior players.

The decisive battle between the east and the west naturally attracted the attention of the rookies.

Seattle, the key arena of the supersonic.

During the day, rookies try out here, and many unknown youngsters come here for tryouts under the arrangement of their agents, hoping to be selected at the time of the draft, even if it is only in the second round.

The SuperSonics hold picks in two lotto sections.

They are his second pick in the first round, and the No. 9 pick that originally belonged to the Knicks and was obtained from the Warriors in the trade of Aldridge.

Last year, although the SuperSonics lost Ray Allen, they got a list with unlimited potential, Aldridge's rookie performance before the game was very good, which has made the people of Seattle feel very satisfied, and the results of the recent pick draw, and the No. 9 pick, the SuperSonics can almost hoard a group of excellent young players.

The SuperSonics also have two second-round picks in the second round, and they will pick four players in the draft this year.

So the key training arena in Seattle has become the hottest arena of the whole summer, and many young people, American, European, Asian, and other parts of the world come here for tryouts.

In the training hall, a thin but accurate young man attracted the attention of supersonic scouts.

The young man with a cockscomb head, dark skin, skillful dribbling, and a dashing posture, whether it was a step-back jumper or a breakthrough layup, was obviously a level above the young man who came here for trial today.

"Who is he?"

Supersonic scout Cook asked the intern next to him.

"Wait, I'll find it."

The intern came to the stadium for internship in the summer, obviously the preparation work was not in place, and it took a long time to draw out his information sheet.

"Nick Young?"

"6'7" tall and weighing 210 pounds, USC's primary shooting guard is best at three-point shooting and breakaway layups.

"When I was in college, I averaged 17.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and I was selected as one of the 50 most hopeful teenagers in the United States in '04?"

Cook nodded approvingly, assessing players is like interviewing employees, in addition to looking at his talent, but also considering the other party's conduct, although it looks a little strange, but he is a very good young man, physical talent is okay, basketball skills are also very mature, is an instant combat force, the only problem is that he is a little thinner.

However, this is also a common problem for all rookies who have not yet entered the league, after the NBA's systematic training, no matter how poor the foundation of the player, will immediately gain weight and muscle, become stronger, not strong, in this league, will be crushed, used by people to rise and fall, and even easy to get injured.

Nick Young's current draft pick projection is not high, and the SuperSonics have a relatively high second-round pick at the end of the first round, and the SuperSonics can sign this player if they have the opportunity.

Scout Cook observed for a while and found that this player's shooting selection was very problematic, and he almost only had the basket in his eyes, although he could score, and after a few strong shots, the shooting rate went down, but overall, the ball sense was still very good, and he was well cultivated, a player similar to Monta Ellis, and a good seedling to grab points on the bench.

Nick Young broke through again and drew a foul on a layup.

The game was interrupted, and Nick Young walked off the field, and several buddies he knew on the side high-fived and greeted him.

"That's amazing, Nick, it's so accurate!"

"It's a small thing!" Nick Young laughed and said modestly.
