18. The brightest star
ps: Sorry, because I’ve been a little busy these two days, the update time is a bit confusing.
Just like the seventh game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals with the Boston Celtics, the Cavaliers obviously never expected that the fifth game of the Eastern Conference final, which should have been a fierce competition, would win so easily.
The Bulls were completely unable to resist in the fourth quarter. They were only halfway through the fourth quarter and they were already surrendered.
The Cavaliers completed the promotion as easily as in the semi-finals. At 100:87, the Cavaliers won without any suspense, so that the players who won the victory felt a little too relaxed.
After a seven-game Eastern Conference semi-final, the players thought the Eastern Conference final would be even more difficult, but what they didn't expect was that this round of series would become so easy in the end.
When the whistle was blown throughout the game, there was no overwhelming cheer in the United Center Arena in Chicago, which was certain. After all, this was the Chicago Bulls' stadium. There was no reason when the Chicago Bulls were eliminated by their opponents on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chicago fans were cheering for this...
Perhaps it was because of this atmosphere that it was too easy to win, so when the whistle at the end of the game was blown, not only was there no sound in the stadium, but even the Cavaliers players just waved their arms and then stood up from the chairs and walked into the stadium.
Of course, Wu Dawei also walked into the stadium with the players after the game, and then looked at the lost Bulls players and the MVP winner Derek Ross, who looked frustrated, Wu Dawei suddenly realized, "Damn, we have actually entered the finals!"
That was the finals! The stage that countless players dreamed of, but I actually led the team into it like this! That was even LeBron and James had only entered the arena once!
Wu Dawei took the initiative to look at Derek Ross, who looked a little depressed. After experiencing two consecutive rounds of winning the series, Wu Dawei certainly understood the demeanor he should have as a winner after the series ended.
It's like the words "The future is yours" that Tim Duncan said to LeBron James that has been passed down to this day after the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in the finals in 2007.
Although Wu Dawei is not older than Derek Ross who entered the league in 2008, and even with the seniority, Wu Dawei is only a rookie in 2009, so he is still a junior of Derek Ross...
No matter what, it shouldn't be his turn. But who said Wu Dawei is the winner now? He is the winner.
He walked straight to Derek Ross, who was a little lost. Although the expression on his face was still a little proud, Wu Dawei would certainly not show a somewhat unfriendly expression to his opponent who lost to him in such an occasion.
After all, the opponent lost the entire series and lost a close-knit qualification to enter the finals. It is natural to imagine how bad the mood is. At this time, you still have a smile on your face and tell them what you have or not. You don’t have to think about it and know how unhappy they will feel.
It is even possible to sway each other at that time, but then the newspaper will definitely write like this: Wu Dawei is beaten by a group of people if he is pretending to be a slap...
Then Wu Dawei is more famous...
"Derick, you guys played great!" Wu Dawei took the initiative to go forward and gave Derek Ross a hug. Then he comforted him and said, "It's just that our luck is a little better than you this year!"
"It's not just a little bit, your performance is perfectly matched with this glory! Wu, I admire your performance very much. Being able to play with you is an honor for your teammates!" Ross also showed his style as a general at this time. At least he did not leave the court directly like LeBron James, Dwyne Wade of the Miami Heat who was eliminated in the first round, and he left the court after the game.
"Wow~ This is the most exciting compliment I have ever heard! Mr. MVP this season actually praised my strength, which made me flattered!"
Wu Dawei was a rare humble moment, of course, because he was to be polite enough to his opponent. Wu Dawei did not expect that Derek Ross would say next: "I heard that you will leave Cleveland in a while, right?"
Rose's sudden replies made Wu Dawei say "ah" because he didn't expect that the MVP Mr. in front of him would actually have such a jump in his mind.
"If you want to leave Cleveland, then Chicago is always welcome to you!"
But Ross didn't care about Wu Dawei's reaction, but continued to say in Wu Dawei's ear. When Wu Dawei heard this, he finally reacted. The core player of the Bulls was lobbying him to join the Chicago Bulls this summer.
This really surprised Wu Dawei. You know, it was Derek Rose's invitation. Wu Dawei was not surprised because Rose is an MVP player, but last summer, LeBron James and Dwyne Wade once thought of two people going to play in the Chicago Bulls together. Because Wade is from Wind City. But when LeBron James sent a text message to ask Derek Rose about his wishes, Rose was not even a bird. This is the most outstanding super bowl with the most outstanding strength and fame in the league!
"Ahhh! I will consider it!" Wu Dawei replied immediately after just a brief moment of surprise in the face of Rose's lobbying. Then, the two of them laughed at the same time.
The two of them were surrounded by reporters, and although the conversation between them was as quiet as possible, they were naturally heard clearly by the reporters beside them.
Everyone heard Derek Ross' invitation to Wu Dawei, and then people also clearly heard Wu Dawei's positive answer to Ross' lobbying.
Almost in an instant, a new idea suddenly popped up in the minds of all the reporters. And it was a news that seemed to be of great hype in their opinion!
Wu Dawei went to Wind City to join forces with Derek Ross!? The most valuable player, the best defensive player and the best coach!?
This one can have wow!
The emergence of such an assumption immediately made many reporters present feel shocked, especially the Chicago media. The frustration of the Bulls losing the Eastern Conference Finals disappeared almost the moment this assumption appeared in their minds.
If such a combination can really be formed in the Bulls, then the Chicago media will firmly believe that the next basketball dynasty belonging to Windy City and the Bulls is not far from them!
Chicago reporters began to get excited, but at this time, the Bulls players began to leave one after another. Although the United Center Arena is their Bulls Arena, the winner tonight is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After this game, the Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls with a 4:1 score. They continued their victory and thus entered the NBA League finals in one fell swoop!
Such a situation, such a situation, is undoubtedly something that no one would have thought of before the start of this season or even before the start of the playoffs of this season. Even though the Cavaliers had a surprising performance in the regular season, people have never put the Cleveland Cavaliers in the position of East Division champion in the playoffs.
Even when the first round of playoff matches came out, many people thought the Cleveland Cavaliers had the possibility of completing the Black Seven Miracle and defeating the Miami Heat. Even at that time, no one would think that the Cavaliers would become the final East District Champion.
Everyone has the same bad view of the Cavaliers' prospects in the playoffs as they had before the start of this season. Everyone believes that even if the Cavaliers can successfully achieve the Miracle Seven miracle in the first round of the playoffs, defeating the Miami Heat to complete the feat of entering the next round of the game.
But in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, they will definitely stop moving forward. That is to say, people think that the Cavaliers' playoff journey this year will stop here before the playoffs and even the second round begins.
So when the Cavaliers used a magnificent seven-game battle in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The battle was shocking again, the voices of questioning the Cavaliers had become much smaller than before.
However, even when the Cavaliers entered the Eastern Conference finals, people still did not believe that such a Cavaliers led by Wu Dawei could win again when facing the Upper East Conference upstart Chicago Bulls.
But now, the fact is so surprising. The Cavaliers once again completed a wonderful series with their amazing performance. After 7 major games in the semi-finals, they were able to end the battle in just 5 games when they faced the Bulls who had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, it can be said that no one dares to question the strength of the Cavaliers anymore. However, for the Cavaliers' future prospects, people don't dare to say that the Cavaliers can really win the championship like the bold statement made by the team's boss Daniel Gilbert last summer; but no one dares to say that the Cavaliers will definitely lose to opponents from the West.
Because at this time, many people were a little confused about the strength of the Cavaliers. Although the lineup of the Cavaliers is reasonable, it is an indisputable fact that the team lacks superstars to take charge. Apart from Wu Dawei, the team does not have another point where they can stabilize their opponents in terms of hard strength. Looking at the current favorite teams in the league, there are basically two or even three super strong points.
The Cavaliers are lacking in this regard. Although Chauncey Billups still has his strength, he is already old after all. It is okay to perform in one or two games, but it is somewhat unrealistic to do this in every game. And Chris Carman, the center player who was extremely outstanding in the first round, was far inferior to the first round after encountering Garnett and Noah's tough inside line.
And Antoine Jamison, the Cavaliers' core in the second team, is also a veteran.
Such a lineup is against the West, whether it is the Dallas Mavericks or the Oklahoma City Thunder, people don’t think the Cavaliers will have the confidence to win, but in the same way, they don’t think that the two teams that are still struggling in the Western Conference Finals must have the strength to defeat the Cavaliers…
The situation in this year's playoffs was completely disrupted by a team like the Cavaliers led by Wu Dawei, who made a big splash this season. People were initially unable to guess the final belonging of this summer's championship.
People don’t know whether the Cavaliers can win the O’Brien Cup in this year’s Finals, but undoubtedly many people do not want the Cavaliers to win this trophy. These people are very big, most of them are those who thought the Cavaliers would completely fall after James left, or those who have been facing the Cavaliers for a long time, or those who were once closely related to the Cavaliers, such as LeBron James...
The East District final was broadcast nationwide. James watched the game on TV at home at night. In the end, the miracle he expected in his heart was not born. What he saw was that Wu Dawei has always been the darling of the camera.
The close-up of Wu Dawei almost ran through the entire game. The dazzling star was no longer the goal Wu Dawei is pursuing now. James suddenly discovered that this unknown pawn who was not worth mentioning and never looked at by him has become a player of the same level as him. Although James was unwilling to admit it alone in his heart, the indisputable fact has already made James understand that Wu Dawei has embarked on the path he has always yearned for.
On the final stage of June, under the gaze of American fans, go and compete with opponents from the West for the final glory!
Looking at the Cavaliers players appearing on the TV screen and the bright smiles on Wu Dawei's face, James knew that it should be where he and the Heat teammates appeared.
Then, the league president, Mr. David Stern, appeared on the TV screen. He walked forward with a smile, then grabbed Wu Dawei's hand. Then, James saw Stern take the trophy that should belong to him and the Heat from his assistant, and then, under the flash of the spotlight, he engraved a chapter belonging to the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Chapter completed!
