Chapter 147 146. Beat LA (8000 words)
At 6:7 p.m. on June 7, at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, the starting players of the Celtics and Lakers have already taken to the court.

Celtics starting lineup: Danny Ainge, Zhang Yang, Bird, McHale, Parish.

Lakers starting lineup: Magic Johnson, Byron Scott, James Worthy, AC Green, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Tonight, Auerbach did not stay in the box, but came to the sidelines and stood with KC Jones.

KC Jones: "Do we really want to play like that? Coach, it's still not too late to change it now..."

Auerbach: “…”

Before the preparatory meeting yesterday afternoon, when Auerbach saw the tactics provided by Bird, his first reaction was: Can the game be played like this? Is this still called a basketball game?
Then he realized that this couldn't be the tactic that Big Bird was thinking of. It must be the guy next to him who was looking at the ceiling.

Auerbach wanted to ask, what do other players need to do with such tactics?
This is inconsistent with the team basketball he advocates! He has always said that the team is more important than the individual and encourages passing the ball.

But when he wanted to ask, he found that he couldn't ask, where did they get the other players? They have been playing with 6 people this year...

The Cardinal remained silent, and KC Jones could only shut up. He really had no better solution.

The gap in strength is too big. The night before last, the Lakers easily scored 126 points, and they couldn't even start their team offense.

What could he do without anyone? They only had six capable players, and their tactics and responses were limited, and their opponents had already figured them out.

Two minutes passed quickly, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, threw the ball into the air, Parish defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to win the jump ball, and the Celtics took the first attack.

The Lakers players quickly retreated, and after the Celtics players entered the three-point line, they each followed their own defenders.

In the fourth quarter of the first game, the Celtics exploded and scored 37 points in a single quarter, which scared them. Their defense tonight was very focused, trying to grasp the 3 seconds of free movement time in the "prohibited zone double-teaming" and make good use of methods such as switching defense and moving towards the ball handler to avoid "off-ball double-teaming violations."

After the Celtics players got into position and Zhang Yang passed the ball to Bird, the Lakers players followed their defensive targets:?
Why are there so many people on this side? The entire left side of the three-second zone is almost full!

Zhang Yang stood outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, McHale was in the mid-range on the left side of the free throw line, Ainge was in the mid-range on the left baseline, and Parish was on the left side of the basket.

On the right side of the three-second zone, only Bird was alone in the elbow area, holding the ball with one hand and leaning against James Worthy.

Bird started to post up amid the boos of the fans. Danny Ainge circled from the left baseline to the two-point area in front of the basket. McHale turned around to block Byron Scott who was defending Ainge.

At this time, if the Lakers want to double-team Bird, only AC Green on the left side of the free throw line is the most suitable choice. Ainge and McHale can set an off-ball pick-and-roll to tie down the defense. If AC Green double-teams Bird regardless, Ainge will be left open after the screen, and Bird can easily pass the ball to Ainge from that position.

AC Green did not double-team rashly, Bird singled out James Worthy in the right elbow area and made a turnaround jump shot!

The Lakers players felt that the defense was weird this time, but they didn't think much about it. Bird just scored one goal, so they scored two!
Magic received the ball and pushed forward. The Lakers players' overall speed of pressing forward was not fast, but they had adjusted their offensive positions while moving. As soon as they ran into the three-point line, the offense had already begun!

Magic Johnson passed the ball to James Worthy, who passed it to Byron Scott, who rushed to the free throw line and passed the ball. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar happened to fall to the left side of the three-second zone, received the ball, and immediately stood up and made a hook shot.

The Lakers' team offensive coordination is like a gorgeous art. With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they couldn't be very fast, but from the time Magic Johnson received the serve to the time Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook shot fell into the frame, it only took 9 seconds!

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Bird was still alone on one side against James Worthy.

James Worthy feels isolated on defense. Even though he is the 'Big Game James', with better playoff performances than regular seasons and better finals performances than playoffs, he still feels timid when defending Bird one-on-one.

This time, James Worthy stuck close to Bird, who suddenly sped up his slow back-to-the-basket shot, turned around and rushed to the basket, bypassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was helping him defend, came to the other side of the basket, jumped, and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!
How can we defend against this?
James Worthy cursed a few words in his heart, and then thought-I wonder how long you, Big Bird, can play one-on-one like this!

'Big Game James' is a person who is willing to take the initiative to take responsibility, whether it is shooting the key ball or defending the key singles, and bearing the humiliation of being beaten, as long as it can help the team win.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers played team offense, and the Celtics relied on Bird's singles. Both teams started with a hit rate of 5 of 3, and the score was tied at 6-6.

James Worthy felt that the darkness was about to pass. After Bird scored two goals in a row at the beginning, he made 3 of 3 shots in the next 1 attacks. He was going to get through this period.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack again, and James Worthy was ready to continue to consume Bird... Bird did not go to the right side of the three-second zone, but ran to the left side and stopped at a 45-degree angle.

James Worthy, who followed Bird to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, felt something was not good... Turning around, he saw Zhang Yang playing one-on-one against Magic Johnson on the right side of the top arc!
Just as James Worthy had predicted, the Magic had no chance of defending the talented scorer who was supposed to be on their team...

Zhang Yang dribbled past the magician and made a fool of himself by making a quick stop and jump shot on the right side of the free throw line!

After two more rounds, the Magician also had the thought of "Who can help me?" while defending.

Moreover, after playing 3 rounds, Zhang Yang stopped attacking and moved to the left 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. Bird came to the right elbow area of ​​the three-second zone...

At this time, the Lakers players finally understood what the opponent was doing - No. 33 and No. 34 wanted to pick on their entire team!

The key is that these two people really fought back and forth with them!

There were two spectators on the sidelines with completely different moods.

Jordan: So you can play like this! So you can play basketball like this! If I had known that I could play like this, why would I be afraid of the Celtics?

Doug Collins: Wasn't this a play I came up with after I lost sleep over the Celtics game? Was it something I accidentally told the Celtics about when I was drunk?
...

Zhang Yang forgot one thing before. The rule to restrict Jordan has not come out yet, and there is no anti-isolation law yet!

The anti-isolation law is also known as the 'anti-Jordan law'.

This rule was introduced by Stern during the 1988 offseason to restrict Michael Jordan, who had just achieved the best efficiency in history in the 87-88 season.

In the 87-88 season, Doug Collins used the tactic of letting Jordan play one-on-one on the right side and everyone else focusing on the left side.

This tactic is based on the 'forbidden zone flanking'.

依靠这个战术，乔丹在87-88赛季打出了他职业生涯最恐怖的个人表现——场均35分，虽不是生涯最高，但53.5%的投篮命中率，比86-87赛季场均37分时高了5个百分点。

In the first round of the playoffs against the Cavaliers, he put on the most invincible individual show in NBA history—averaging 55.9 points per game with a hit rate of 45.2%! This record was never broken even by Jordan.

After the 87-88 season, Stern banned this style of play, stipulating that there must be two offensive players on one side of the offense and that isolating the opposing defender is not allowed.

So, in the 88-89 season, Jordan's personal ability continued to improve, but his average points per game plummeted to 32.5 points, and his efficiency was not as good as the previous season. The Bulls' record also declined, from 50 wins to 45 wins. The effect of the "Anti-Jordan Rule" was obvious.

In the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Cavaliers again, and their average points per game plummeted to 39.8 points, and their shooting percentage also dropped sharply to 51.8%...

Back to the second game of the finals between the Celtics and the Lakers, the Lakers were in a passive position.

首节过半，大鸟拿到8分、张杨6分、安吉2分、麦克海尔4分，凯尔特人队打出了20比17的比分！
The reason why stars are stars is that in most cases, their shots facing defenders are more accurate than role players' open shots.

The Celtics' three top scorers, Zhang Yang and Bird, took turns playing singles.

After trying it at the beginning, Big Bird discussed with Zhang Yang and decided that each person would take turns for 3-4 rounds, no less than 3 rounds to avoid loss of continuity in the offense, and no more than 4 rounds to avoid excessive consumption in continuous offense and affecting the shooting feel of another person by playing singles for too long. No matter how well the shot is, it is necessary to make a substitution to ensure continuity throughout the game.

Among the three major scorers, McHale is not responsible for singles. He is also very good in singles, but he is more easily restricted than Zhang Yang and Bird. His singles are mainly in the low post.

When two teammates were playing one-on-one, McHale was responsible for containing the players in the high post and covering for Ainge. He would rush for offensive rebounds after his teammates shot, and use the energy he saved to invest in the defense and try his best to protect the basket.

The tactics were provided by Big Bird, and the role breakdown was formulated by the Cardinal after a long silence.

Auerbach is worthy of being the best coach in history. Although he did not agree with this tactical strategy in his heart, he had to play it. He did a good job, minimizing unnecessary consumption of the three major scorers and trying to keep the three of them on the court at the same time.

Auerbach's optimization of tactical details was very effective. After playing for half a quarter, the three top scorers who scored a total of 18 points, one point higher than the entire opposing team, did not feel tired. Instead, they became more and more excited!
6 minutes and 11 seconds, the Lakers called a timeout!

There was absolutely no problem with their offense, it was just as strong as the previous game, and they were sure to score 120+ points.

As a result, the opponent scored more points than them!
Pat Riley asked his players to calm down.

As a tyrant on the court, Pat Riley's words were very effective. The players, who were irritated and impatient by the opponent, tried hard to suppress their anxiety.

At this time, the magician came out with his signature smile and said, "Since they want to fight with offense, we will fight with them. Don't be afraid. We will definitely win. It's Showtime!"

Riley's cool coaching style calmed the players down, and Magic's gentle but confident words re-energized the players!
That’s right, they are the Showtime Lakers!
After the timeout, the Lakers focused their attention on the offensive end and faced off against the Celtics!
On the Celtics side, the 'isolation tactics' worked, and they played more determinedly and unrestrainedly.

After the first quarter, the Lakers tied the score at 38-38 thanks to Byron Scott's three-pointer at the last minute. Both teams set a new high in single-quarter scores in this finals.

In the second and third quarters, both teams continued to attack fiercely. As their physical strength was depleted, their hit rates also declined. In the second quarter, the Celtics scored 34 points and the Lakers scored 31 points. In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 32 points and the Celtics scored 28 points...

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers overtook the Celtics by 1 point!
These two quarters exposed the Celtics' initial use of the "isolation tactics" and their lack of coordination.

The Lakers double-teamed and retreated more often in these two quarters, but the other players' coordination was not good enough.

Although Auerbach took into account the physical exertion of Zhang Yang, Bird and McHale, there were still some omissions.

In the final quarter, the Celtics fought hard and finally overtook the Lakers, who were also full of fighting spirit and fought hard with the opponent.

In the final quarter, the Celtics regained their strength on offense and scored 35 points, but unfortunately, the opponent was even more fierce and scored 38 points!
At 10:24 pm, the final whistle sounded.

大鸟26投14中，其中三分球6中3，加上13中12的罚球，拿到43分8板5助攻。

张杨28投14中，其中三分球2中1，加上7中6的罚球，拿到35分5板2助攻。

With the addition of McHale's 23 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, the Celtics' Big Three scored 101 points, but the Celtics ultimately lost to the Lakers.

魔术师23分20助攻、斯科特22分、詹姆斯-沃西21分、贾巴尔24分、库珀21分……湖人队5人得分上20分！
139 to 135, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Celtics by 4 points!

...

Two days later, at 6 p.m. on June 10, the Celtics and the Lakers moved to the TD Garden for another match.

The ratings for tonight's game set a new NBA record!

The yellow-green battle has always attracted a lot of attention, and now it has become even hotter!
Originally, due to the strength gap between the two teams in Game 1, the ratings of Game 2 dropped a lot. At that time, there was no Internet, and even if some people heard the broadcast that the Celtics and the Lakers were tied and went to watch TV, the ratings of Game 2 did not rise much.

After the G2 battle report came out, many fans regretted that they didn’t even watch the game in which the Big Three scored a total of 101 points against Showtime!

By Game 3, the fans didn't want to miss it again, especially the Celtics fans who had originally felt desperate and regained their hope.

G2 only lost by 4 points, so it's not impossible for them to win!
Tonight, the Celtics did not disappoint the fans! They once again dominated the Lakers at the start!

Originally, Auerbach was an old man, and participating in the playoff coaching was just to help find out the gaps and fill them. After G2, he really participated in the tactical adjustments, and continued to help optimize the "isolation tactics". On the basis of the unchanged roles of the "Big Three", he optimized the cooperation of role players.

After the experience of the first game, Zhang Yang and Big Bird have a better understanding of the opponent's single defense, and have better ways to deal with the opponent's double-teaming and backup defense.

After the Celtics led by 39 points 32 to 7 in the first quarter, in the second and third quarters, facing the Lakers' counterattack, the Celtics held on!
第二节比分34比36、第三节比分32比33，三节打完，凯尔特人队拿到105分，守住了4分领先优势！
到了末节，湖人队前9分钟打出了29比26的比分，将分差缩小到1分，比分追至130比131。

But when it came to the crucial stage of the singles match, the Lakers were no match for them. Fighting Bird for the key ball? Even the young God couldn't do it!
And the Celtics also have Zhang Yang!
Pick any one of the two, and their ability to play in key balls is comparable to that of the Lakers players. Even James Worthy is far behind them.

最后3分钟，张杨4分、大鸟3分、沃顿上场吃饼拿到2分，打了湖人队一波9比5，守住胜利！
Bird's scoring dropped tonight, making 17 of 10 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws, scoring only 30 points, but with 12 assists.

When Bird was double-teamed, he passed the ball decisively and made many wonderful passes to his teammates. Auerbach's adjustments were very accurate and Bird made good use of them.

McHale's scoring also declined, scoring only 16 points, but he still had 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

However, neither of them is the biggest headache for the Lakers. The Lakers can always force the two to pass the ball by double-teaming.

No matter how well the Celtics' receiving players shoot, their hit rate is still below 5%. If these two people shoot, their hit rate will definitely be above %.

But there is one person he really won’t pass on the knowledge to—Zhang Yang!
With 30 of 16 shots and 12 of 10 free throws, Zhang Yang scored 42 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. The only two assists came during counterattacks!

There was a ball, and the Lakers had four players blocking the ball, and it went something like this:

But Zhang Yang still shot it! Although it didn't go in, he got a free throw!

这场比赛湖人队进攻打得不差，魔术师21分14助攻、贾巴尔27分、詹姆斯-沃西32分、斯科特15分、迈克尔-汤普森10分，依旧有5人得分上双，只是比上一场差一点点而已，他们不可能每场飙到140分左右不是……

140比135，凯尔特人队5分险胜湖人队，拒绝0比3！

...

After narrowing the score to 1-2, the Celtics players finally regained the confidence they had never had before!
The quarrel between Big Bird and Zhang Yang became more intense.

Bird never thought that one day he would play like this. He claims to be the most selfless player, but now he is playing in the most selfish way, and the key is that he enjoys it!

In order to prevent someone from getting proud of himself, he would pick a fight for no reason.

Zhang Yang also enjoys arguing with Big Bird to relieve the pressure on his teammates.

He felt his teammates' confidence had returned, but the pressure remained.

It is true that the Lakers' offense is too strong, often scoring more than 120 or 130 points.

If Zhang San and Big Bird cannot guarantee high-level output at the same time, they will not be able to keep up.

On June 6, the Celtics faced the Lakers in Game 12 of the Finals at home.

This time, the master calculator gave up the direct attack and played defense against the Celtics!
Under the rule of 'no zone double-teaming', as long as the star player's singles ability is strong enough, the 'isolation tactics' cannot be completely restricted by conventional defense. For the Lakers, slowing down the tempo and playing defense is like shooting themselves in the foot!
The Lakers are not the Bad Boys. They used twenty-five or six rough fouls in every game to stifle the opponent's offense. Although they successfully lowered the Celtics' score to 115 points, the lowest in this finals, the Lakers themselves only scored 103 points!
大鸟30分、张杨28分、麦克海尔18分、安吉16分……115比103，凯尔特人队大胜湖人队，大比分追平！
On June 6, the Celtics faced the Lakers at home in the decisive finals.

Riley knew he made a mistake in the last game, so he corrected it...but he was poor at defense in the last game and ruined their rhythm!

They didn't play well defensively tonight, and their offense wasn't very good either.

It's hard for the Lakers to win when Magic Johnson scores 35 points and has only 9 assists.

大鸟28分11板8助攻、张杨36分6板3助攻、麦克海尔17分、安吉15分……凯尔特人队以123比108击败湖人队，连胜3场，拿到赛点！

...

After the first five games, the finals will not return to Boston. The finals format is 5-2-3, and the last two games will be in Los Angeles. G2 is scheduled to start on June 6th.

On the morning of the 16th, when the Celtics set off for Los Angeles, thousands of fans flocked to the airport to see the players off to the battlefield.

Some fans held up a banner that read "We don't need to regret the future, we already have the future" to support Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang scored wildly in the finals and won more recognition from local fans, but those die-hard fans of Bias were even more extreme, saying that if Bias hadn't died, they would have swept the Lakers...

Most Celtics fans were afraid that such remarks would affect Zhang Yang's decision in the summer of 88, so they actively spoke out.

Zhang Yang signed a three-year, $3 million contract last summer, with a player option in the third year. Auerbach gave him such a contract to win people's hearts. After next season, Zhang Yang will have three years of playing experience and will have bird rights. If he performs well, he can choose to opt out of the contract and renew the contract above the salary cap. If his performance does not meet expectations, he can earn an extra $300 million.

Now it has become a sword hanging over the heads of the Celtics and their fans.

Most of the fans have realized it now. They have been immersed in the grief of losing Bias for the past year and have neglected Zhang Yang...

It was mainly the behavior of the fans from their arch-rivals that made Celtics fans uneasy.

After the Celtics arrived at Los Angeles International Airport in Inglewood, many fans came to greet them. Although it was not as grand as the one in Boston, there were still nearly a thousand people.

When these people saw Zhang Yang, they all shouted "Welcome home".

Yesterday, some media began to hype that Zhang Yang was not liked by Boston fans and wanted to leave the Celtics... The Lakers launched a public opinion offensive!
Celtics fans are very uneasy now, but Zhang Yang... doesn't care much. He just wants to win now. Future decisions can be left to 'him'. When he comes, all he needs to do is win.

To him, the public opinion offensive launched by the Lakers and the actions of Boston fans are not as attractive as what Stern said in an interview yesterday.

After the Celtics won three games in a row to reverse the score to 3-3, Stern was interviewed and asked about the style of play called "isolation tactics" by Auerbach. He made it clear that basketball is not a one-person sport and he will consider proposing a rule to ban this style of play at the annual meeting of the Rules Committee this summer.

Zhang Yang felt that he had made a mistake... If Stern did this, what would happen to Jordan's best series performance in history? Wouldn't the season with the best efficiency in his career be gone?
The impact of this experience on this timeline seems to be a bit big...but what does it have to do with him? It's not him, nor 'him', who suffered the loss.

However, during training yesterday afternoon and on the plane this morning, Zhang Yang felt that his teammates seemed to be affected.

So, after he checked into a hotel in Inglewood, he asked Auerbach to contact the media for an interview. When asked if he had any thoughts of playing in Los Angeles in the future, his answer was "Beat-LA!"

Orbach, who was a little nervous, felt relieved when he heard Zhang Yang's words.

As for the future, after experiencing the nightmare of being the runner-up, he has become more open-minded, at least for the time being.

At present, they have finally fought back from a desperate situation to a 3-2 score and are about to win the championship. If Zhang Yang's "Where to Go in the Future" affects their chances of winning the championship, he will really regret it for the rest of his life!

In this finals, if we have to talk about the role, Bird is still the one with the greatest role. In today's league, the Magic Bird God is the one with the strongest individual ability.

But Zhang Yang is also indispensable! It can even be said that without Zhang Yang, they might have been eliminated!
In this crisis, Auerbach knew that he had to bear the greatest responsibility. After losing Bias, he was disheartened. His expectations were too high and his vision of the future was too beautiful, so the greater the blow he suffered.

He spent most of the past year not focusing on his work, until the second round of the playoffs when the news that Zhang Yang was selected for the second team was delivered to his office. He went to the scene to watch Zhang Yang go crazy and score 4 points in Game 42... Only then did he realize that he was wrong, extremely wrong.

If he can cheer up in June, even if he doesn't have many cards in his hand, he can risk his reputation and at least strengthen the lineup of role players so that the six main players won't have to play so hard.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is his attitude towards Zhang Yang.

Last season, he always trained Zhang Yang as one of the future dual cores, communicated actively, and always considered Zhang Yang's growth.

Although Zhang Yang was still reused this season, he played his way up game by game. He had much less communication with Zhang Yang than last season. He could not judge how much affection Zhang Yang had for their Celtics team.

Moreover, he did not consider the impact of local fans' opinions on Zhang Yang and did not intervene...

One year can break a person's heart, but one year may not be able to restore a person's heart... Auerbach felt that he didn't have much time left, but he had no choice but to do what he should do next and try his best to restore the relationship.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang knew what was most important at this time—the championship!
……

As Auerbach expected, Zhang Yang stood up and shouted that slogan, and the impact of the public opinion offensive launched by the Lakers in the past two days on other players quickly dissipated!
The teammates were actually just worried about the future, but when they heard 'Beat LA', they no longer worried about anything. Kill the Lakers!

At 6 p.m. on June 17, at the Great Western Forum, the Celtics, with great momentum, faced the Lakers on the road in Game 8 of the Finals.

The importance of the head coach to a team was fully demonstrated in this finals.

Pat Riley's wrong decision after G3 led to the Lakers' two consecutive defeats. The Celtics' morale could no longer be suppressed, and the Lakers' players' confidence was dampened.

If the Lakers can win any one of the three away games, the mentality of the Lakers players will be completely different. They can win the championship by winning just one of the two home games. What is there to be afraid of?
But now they are trailing 2-3 and have lost three games in a row. The Lakers players are thinking - they can't lose a single game, otherwise they will lose the championship.

In the first quarter, the Celtics made great progress, scoring 37 to 31 in a single quarter and taking a 6-point lead.

However, although the Lakers' morale was low, their strength was there. They made wrong decisions in G4 and failed to adjust the rhythm in G5. At least they got their rhythm back on the offensive end tonight. They scored 34 to 30 in the second quarter, narrowing the gap to two points and chasing the score to 65 to 67.

But in the third quarter, veteran Dennis Johnson, who had been ignored by the Lakers in this finals, went crazy, completing 4 steals in a single quarter, scoring 6 points by counterattacks, plus a three-pointer in positional warfare and two free throws after a cut-in and receiving the ball caused a foul, scoring 1 points alone!
In the third quarter, the Celtics scored 33 to 28. Dennis Johnson curbed the Lakers' momentum and helped the Celtics widen the gap again!

100 to 93, the Celtics entered the final quarter with a 7-point lead!
Dennis Johnson's rampage in a single quarter not only widened the score gap, but also made it easier for Zhang Yang, Bird and McHale to play in the third quarter.

In the final quarter, the Lakers, who were 7 points behind and in desperate situation, did not give up. They played hard on both offense and defense in the final quarter, and scored 33 points in a single quarter against the trend.

But Zhang Yang and Bird hit the singles one after another...

With 11 minutes and 51 seconds left in the final quarter, Zhang Yang played against Magic Johnson, broke into the paint and made a layup. The Celtics' score in the final quarter rose to 30 points, widening their lead to 4 points!
The Lakers called a timeout and forced a shot, but Byron Scott missed the desperate mid-range shot, and the Lakers' plan to make a quick play and execute a foul tactic was shattered.

1987年6月17号，晚上10点23分，终场哨声响起。

The Great Western Forum was as quiet as it was in 1969, with only the sounds of the Celtics players celebrating.

张杨拿到35分、大鸟27分、丹尼斯-约翰逊23分……凯尔特人队130比126击败湖人队，大比分4比2，凯尔特人队连胜4场，横扫式逆转夺冠！

Zhang Yang also joined in the celebration. This final was awesome! Who could resist a game that turned the tables and won the final victory?

He was ready to 'fall asleep' during the celebration, but no!

When Stern came to the court with the etiquette lady, the staff asked them to stand in position to receive the trophy, but there was nothing!
张杨赶紧计算，他6场比赛分别拿到30分、35分、42分、28分、36分、35分，场均34.3分，两队最高。

Bird only averaged 31.6 points per game, but he was very stable! He scored 32 points, 43 points, 30 points, 30 points, 28 points, and 27 points respectively. Except for the first game of G2 when he played the "isolation tactics", he was very stable in other games. In addition to averaging 31.6 points per game, he also averaged 8.5 assists per game!
In terms of hit rate, Bird is 56.1% and Zhang San is 50.9%.

Bird had a huge advantage, but before the game Zhang Yang saw the media predict that if the Celtics won the championship, he would have a higher chance of winning the FMVP.

It was normal for Bird to play well, but his averaging 30+ points per game was something that no one expected.

Zhang San is calculating, and so is Big Bird. He doesn't want to lose either! Before, he was competing with his opponent, but now he is competing with his teammates.

Soon, after Stern finished talking nonsense and presented the championship trophy, he began to present the FMVP trophy.

When the word "China" came out of Stern's mouth, Bird knew he was gone.

Zhang Yang was ecstatic! But before he could cheer, he suddenly felt sleepy... The Gate of Training, you gave birth to a son but didn't!
