Chapter 467. The most popular finals in history! The least suspenseful finals in history...

自07年詹姆斯、08年科比先后拿了总亚军后，08-09赛季开始，斯特恩就开始炮制23VS24的话题。

As a result, James failed in 09 and 10, Kobe failed in 11 and 12, and Kobe almost collapsed in 13. In 5 years, the two won 3 championships combined, but never met in the finals.

When Stern announced his retirement, the Lakers were still in the adjustment period before the outbreak in January. The Pacers in the East were in their heyday and far ahead of all teams and occupied the top spot in the league. At that time, it seemed that No. 1 and No. 23 would have no chance in the finals.

Then, less than half a year after he retired, 23VS24 came true!
Jew: You guys are teaming up to make fun of me, right?

This can be regarded as another "legacy" left by Stern to Silver. After so many years of hype, the Lakers won the Western Conference Finals. No. 23 and No. 24 met in the finals. The accumulated heat and topicality exploded. The most watched finals in NBA history is here!
The media are all hyping up this finals and the fans are arguing about it endlessly.

The hottest and most controversial topic - who is better and who has more honors, Kobe or James.

'One championship equals Kobe', late but it comes...

In order to elevate the value of that championship, a small number of extreme fans said something like "James has never had a superstar teammate." At the same time, Gasol, Bynum, Odom...even Fisher and Ariza, all became superstars.

The vast majority of James' fans are quite normal. They cannot stand this statement any more. However, if they express different opinions, they will be "expelled from the James fan club" and labeled as Kobe fans playing the role of a Kobe fan.

This made all normal-minded James fans not want to talk, so a few extreme fans seemed to represent the entire James fan group. Since James fans are very large, the "minority" is actually a very large number.

All the fans who followed the finals saw the debate between the two players, and even the finals itself was weakened a lot, until the first game of the finals started on June 6...

首节比分36比25、第二节比分28比25、第三节比分29比23……三节打完，湖人队以93比73领先热火队20分！
张杨打了28分钟，15投10中，其中三分球5中3，加上7中5的罚球拿到28分4板2助攻2抢断；科比打了24分钟，7投4中，其中三分球1中1，加上5中4的罚球，拿到13分2板6助攻，两人都三节打卡下班！

The score in the final quarter was 25 to 21. Nash led the Lakers role players to play against the Heat role player lineup led by Ray Allen.

The game lasted for 2 hours and 18 minutes before the final whistle sounded.

詹姆斯22分5板7助攻、波什22分4板1助攻，不敌28分的张杨、13分的科比、15分的纳什、15分的加索尔。

韦德在东决玩儿命的后遗症来了，东决6场场均24分8助攻的他，总决赛首战疲态尽显，8投3中仅拿到11分2板3助攻。

118 to 94, the Lakers defeated the Heat!
At this time, the bystanders remembered that this was the most suspense-free finals in the past seven years, which had been determined before the Western Conference Finals ended!
The last time the season was considered over before the finals even started was the 2007 finals...

...

The score difference in the first game was 24 points, which was a terrifyingly large gap, but some people still had hope and thought it was just an accident. However, on June 6, the Lakers beat the Heat again with a score of 5 to 110, crushing those people's inexplicable expectations.

Wade kept his brilliance in the Eastern Conference Finals, Bosh has degenerated into a pitcher and his playing style has no lethality, James faced Zhang Yang's top defense, Kobe's assist defense, and Gasol or Kaman's rim protection, and his hit rate was low... The Heat's main offensive player with the best efficiency was Ray Allen!

But for Ray Allen, who is about to turn 39, throwing the ball about 10 times per game and getting or -pointers, it is already an above-average performance and he is unable to do better.

Public opinion generally believes that the strength gap between the two teams in this finals is even greater than the strength gap between the Spurs and the Cavaliers in 07. Los Angeles fans were already popping champagne at halftime to celebrate their victory after the first two games.

Even those media and experts who favor James have concluded that the Heat have no chance of winning from a tactical perspective. If they want to win, the Lakers must have a terrible shooting touch and the Heat must have an explosive outside shooting touch, or both.

However, the media and experts are just professionals and can only approach things from a professional perspective. Things like "thinking of solutions" have to be done by non-professionals.

On the morning of the 6th, on major fan forums, 'Zhang Yang fans' and 'Kobe fans' started arguing over the topic of who would be the FMVP.

The quarrel and abuse between the 'two groups' quickly spread and expanded, with countless fans joining in the quarrel.

All the major media outlets were shocked to see this. It turns out that this is possible! They are still not thick-skinned enough...

The main reason is that in the first two games, Zhang Yang scored 28 points and 31 points respectively, while Kobe only scored 13 points and 15 points. Who normally would think in this direction?
The media have all joined in the hype, and from the perspective of public opinion, Kobe and Zhang Yang have become enemies.

然后，到了6月8号，张杨32投15中，其中三分球10中4，加上10中7的罚球，拿到41分7板2助攻；科比6投2中，拿到5分8板10助攻，湖人队以104比88击败热火队，大比分3比0。

After the score difference reached double digits, Kobe avoided shooting unless he had to and kept passing the ball to Zhang Yang. For the first time in Zhang Yang's career, his shooting percentage dropped because his teammates passed the ball to him too many times.

Old Blacksmith: I want to be the champion for sure!
It's not like he hasn't won the runner-up championship before...After this game, those 'fans' who hyped up the 'FMVP battle' regardless of whether they had the conditions or not felt like clowns. The damn old blacksmith was making a fool of them!
They were so angry that they didn't even bother pretending and just started swearing online.

Recently, Zhang Yang likes to read the news very much. When he is not training with the team, playing games, or learning from Kona, he will pick up his phone and check the news whenever he has time.

He felt it was great to be teammates with Kobe. During the 12 Finals, he was besieged by fans of the opposing team. This time, all the fans of the opposing team besieged Kobe.

It was June 6th, 10 p.m., and Game 8 of the Finals began at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

After the first quarter, one-third of the seats were empty...

詹姆斯5投2中拿到4分、波什4投1中拿到3分、韦德3投1中加上4中2的罚球拿到4分，热火队全队单节11分。

That’s right, the other players on the Heat took 6 shots and failed to make a single shot or score a single point!
The Heat only took 18 shots in this quarter, with a hit rate as low as 22.2%, and also committed 6 turnovers!
张杨单节14分、科比5分2助攻、加索尔4板2助攻、纳什1板3助攻……湖人队首节以30比11领先热火队19分！
In the second quarter, Zhang Yang also started to enter the passing mode, feeding the ball to his role players who had worked hard for victory all year.

This was actually a bit wasteful. After all, it was only the first quarter, but the Heat players had no fighting spirit and their bodies and minds had entered summer vacation mode. Even though James almost screamed to motivate his teammates, no one responded.

In fact, it can be seen in the first quarter that most of the Heat players were no longer in the mood to play. James and Wade made a total of 5 turnovers in a single quarter, and most of them were passes that their teammates should have moved into position to receive the ball.

But they were trailing 0-3 and losing nearly 3 points per game in the first three games. The gap was like a chasm and they had no motivation at all.

第二节比分25比18、第三节比分23比26、末节比分22比29……

In the second half, the Heat narrowed the gap under the leadership of James, but it had little impact on the final result.

At 10:16 pm, the countdown to the game ended.

张杨出战33分钟，12投7中，其中三分球4中2，加上5中4的罚球，拿到20分5板7助攻1抢断2盖帽；

加索尔9分11板4助攻、科比16分4板6助攻、纳什4分3板6助攻、米克斯11分、乔丹-希尔9分、艾德-戴维斯11分……

100 to 84, the Lakers easily defeated the Heat with a score of 4 to 0, completing the sweep!
Zhang Yang was substituted after playing for two minutes in the fourth quarter. After the final whistle, he stood up to celebrate with his teammates and waved to his fans who came to the away game.

He looked around... the stadium was so empty...

There were about 20,000 seats, but there were still 2,000 people left? Or 3,000 people? Most of these people were still wearing Lakers jerseys, and the home team fans were almost gone before the game was over!

After winning the championship this time, Zhang Yang was not worried about the FMVP at all, as the average data of the main players of both teams had been posted on the big screen.

他张三4场比赛场均30.25分5.5板4助攻1.5抢断1.5盖帽。

科比场均12.5分4.7板7.5助攻1抢断，拿FMVP的概率还不如场均14分11板3.75助攻的加索尔高。

Kobe's score was so low because of G3, when he only scored 5 points. The other 3 games had 13 points, 16 points, and 16 points respectively. Based on his playing style and the actual game situation in this finals, he should have averaged 15+5+7, but it has nothing to do with FMVP.

On the other side, the Heat's data... Zhang Yang found it quite interesting.

Wade averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and he looked exhausted. Zhang Yang felt it was a pity that the strongest No. 3 player in the East used up all his energy in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bosh averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds per game. Except for playing well in the first game, he had little presence in the next three games.

詹姆斯场均28分7板7助攻2抢断，这个张杨确实没想到，就像今晚他没想到詹姆斯最后有31分一样……

However, there was something that surprised him even more.

When it came to the award ceremony, FMVP... Zhang Yang won it smoothly, but when the Bill Russell Trophy was presented, the joke was that after taking the trophy from the etiquette lady, he stuffed it directly into his hand, Zhang San, and took a photo with him.

Zhang San: ???
