Chapter 267 Before the Finals Begin

Li Lai was startled by the voice, thinking that Holloway was something.

Turning her head to look, the little girl still raised her head and pouted with a haughty face.

"Well, I don't have anything to do tonight."

Li Lai put down his pen and said.

Holloway nodded in satisfaction, then shook her head and said, "It's okay to do nothing. After a long night, I always have to find something to do to pass the time."

Li Lai agreed with this point, after all, he was used to working late every night, and now he was not used to suddenly letting him rest.

Seeing that Li Lai finally agreed, Holloway couldn't help being elated. Thinking of the three years of getting along with each other, Li Lai was either at work or on the way to work. He never found time to relax.

Holloway couldn't help but feel that Herb Cole's life and death incident had too much influence on the other party.

So she proposed at this time, "Why don't we go to Lake Michigan for a walk?"

Li Lai thought for a while and said: "The west is still the north. There are some acquaintances in the north. You can go and see Johnson and Johnson II."

"By the way, let's talk about what happened in Li Ning's factory recently."

"Acquaintance, acquaintance, factory, why are you so full of these things?" Holloway became more dissatisfied after hearing Li Lai's answer.

She continued without hesitation: "Let's go to the west, the place where Villanueva invited us to the party that year."

Li Lai recalled that night, when the little girl Holloway looked very pretty in a white dress with bare feet.

Li Lai subconsciously glanced at Holloway in uniform, frowning slightly.

Holloway glanced at herself from top to bottom, and said, "Why, it doesn't look good?"

Li Lai shook his head and did not answer.

He wanted to say that it was either not good-looking, or that it was a little bit worse.

On the shores of Lake Michigan, the little girl Holloway is not as serious as she was at work, and her amazing arithmetic ability is also hidden.

Holloway stepped on the lake playfully, smiling and inviting Li to come.

In such an atmosphere, it was rare for Li Lai to relax during the anxious playoffs, and then the two lay down in the 8-handed Alto and had a long talk all night.

Holloway asked Li Lai: "If one day you are no longer the owner of the team, nor the head coach of the team, what will you do?"

Li Lai hesitated for a while and replied calmly: "I originally wanted to be a teacher or a writer."

Holloway clutched her stomach and tossed and turned happily: "You, teacher, a writer? Are you the kind who teaches people to play crotch kids or write novels with color?"

5 month 29 day.

The Western Conference finals came to an end.

When the Mavericks trailed by 20 points in the first half, they achieved a shocking reversal in the second half.

诺维斯基砍下了30分7篮板，基德10分4篮板10助攻，马里昂18分10篮板3助攻，拳王泰森-钱德勒6分12篮板3盖帽。

The Lone Ranger team blasted a terrifying 37:20 shock wave in the third quarter and established the victory of the game in one fell swoop.

As for the Lakers, after Kobe Bryant was restricted by Marion in the fourth quarter, no one in the entire Lakers team could stand up and score points for the team at this time.

Compared with the Mavericks' excellent overall offense, the Lakers are still a strong team built on traditional defense.

Magic Johnson, who explained the game, suggested to the Lakers with certainty after the game: "In this era of small balls, it is difficult to go further in the playoffs if you can only defend."

"This is no longer the era when defense was paramount."

For the Lakers, they have failed this season because they have a strong combination of Kobe + Gasol + Garnett.

In order to form this championship lineup, the Lakers also gave up Bynum, who has unlimited potential, and the future draft chips are almost overdrawn.

For Kobe, the runner-up is already the number one loser, and even failing to reach the finals is the loser among the losers.

Barkley said: "For the Lakers, what they have to think about now is how to rebuild their team lineup in the off-season."

"Kobe still showed a very good level of competition this season. The Lakers must quickly seize the tail end of his career and add another championship trophy to the team."

Kenny Smith on the side felt very sorry.

"In this way, this year's NBA Finals has become a contest between the Bucks and the Mavericks. It is a pity that we did not see Kobe and McGrady meet in the finals."

"The yellow-green battle also didn't take place for the second year in a row."

"Wait!" Barkley turned around and interrupted in great confusion: "The yellow-green fight? When did the Bucks represent the green?"

Kenny Smith said arrogantly: "Why, is it possible that the current finals still have a seat for the Celtics?"

Barkley was suddenly at a loss for words, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

The Big Three in Miami signed exactly the same contract last season, and the three brothers are guaranteed to cooperate for at least 4-5 seasons in the future.

Based on the performance of the Heat this season, although they regrettably lost the Eastern Conference Finals, no one will doubt that they are the favorite team for the championship.

In addition, the current financial structure of this Bucks team is very healthy. The matching rights of Westbrook and Curry are both in the hands of the Bucks, and there will be at least 4-5 seasons of complete team lineups in the future.

There is also the rise of the Bulls in the East, Ross already has the appearance of a superstar, the overall strength of the Eagles is strong, and the strength of the Magic team guarded by Howard cannot be underestimated.

The Celtics really don't have any capital to talk about the Finals or even the playoffs.

Post-match interview.

Nowitzki, who reached the finals for the second time in his career, was very excited, he told the reporters who surrounded him.

"I will not be reversed and eliminated by my opponent like last time. I am ready. Now I am better than I was then."

"This time we won't have the bad luck we had back then. Boys who love to laugh have never had bad luck."

Of course these reporters knew what Nowitzki was cryptically talking about.

If it weren't for the NBA's consideration of face and image, Nowitzki would have even wanted to speak out about the scandal back then.

However, the current league is much cleaner than it was back then, and Nowitzki also believes that the Mavericks can have the fairest matchup with the Bucks.

Cuban was just as excited on the sidelines.

Among the team owners in the entire league, only he and Li Lai would come in and out of the team at any time.

"This is the second time we've been to the Finals, we're going to win, we're ready."

"Bucks, Li Lai, you just wait, we will beat you until you surrender."

Although the Mavericks defeated the Spurs and Lakers in seven consecutive tiebreakers this season, the outside world is generally not optimistic that they can beat the Bucks.

Even if Artest of the Bucks is determined to be reimbursed for the season, no one will be more optimistic about them.

"Because in the Eastern Conference Finals, the strength of the Bucks was amazing. Even the Heat were defeated by them. The Mavericks really don't have any hope."

Barkley once again kicked off his own Barkley Show.

This time, the invitations include countless famous players in the league, Pippen who came out to make money, Jordan, Larry Brown, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Everyone is more optimistic that the Bucks can achieve two consecutive championships, because the Bucks who defeated the Heat are already invincible.

"The Bucks are going to be a dynasty, for sure."

"No, no, no three consecutive championships is not a dynasty team."

"Don't worry, let's be sure first. We all believe that the Bucks will achieve two consecutive championships, right? Then they won another championship next season, wouldn't they be a dynasty team?"

On the Barkley show, celebrities debated endlessly about whether the Bucks are already a dynasty team, and the effect of the show was quickly full.

Because this season is the last season of O'Neal and Iverson, it is equivalent to the last round of the playoffs for the two.

Larry Brown looked at his beloved disciple in the past, and smiled at this moment.

"He is my dearest son."
