In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Kings' opponents all started with Tianhu. This time it was the Kings' turn to start with Tianhu.
After two games, they led the Heat 2:0.
This makes hundreds of millions of fans in China happy and excited.
They finally had the confidence to shout that slogan - Kings Championship!
Since Yao Ming retired, many fans have stopped watching the NBA, and the remaining fans are called remnants. They still support the Rockets.
Especially after Harden came, they shouted those five words every year - Rockets championship.
When Harden left the Rockets and James came to the Lakers, they shouted those five words every year - Lakers championship.
When Wang Yi came to the Kings this year, they did not immediately call him the Kings champion.
Because everyone knows that despite Wang Yi's personal strength, the Kings are more than one dimension away from the championship.
At that time, no one in the world could have imagined that the Kings would reach the Finals.
Unexpectedly, the Kings led the Heat 2:0 right from the start, and they were only two wins away from the championship.
Only then did they finally have the confidence to shout out those words - Kings championship.
But as the saying goes, good things come hard.
The Kings' championship run hasn't been easy.
In the next Game 3, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Heat.
Even though Wang Yi scored a triple-double with 48 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, the Kings still lost to the Heat 109:117 in the end.
In the end, the Heat tied the score to 2:1.
In the next G4, the system did not sign in for Wang Yi.
This made Wang Yi a little confused.
What about the legendary superstar system that was promised?
This is the finals, and you don’t sign in for me, then what use does your system have for me?
However, although he did not sign in this game, Wang Yi still scored a near-triple double with 47 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
However, in this game, the Kings' outside touch was inaccurate. In the end, the Kings lost by one point 107 to 108.
The fifth battle, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The system still hasn’t signed Wang Yi in.
But Wang Yi still performed well in this game, scoring 48 points and 18 assists.
In addition, the Kings players feel generally online.
In the end, they defeated the Heat by 131 to 120, by 11 points.
The big score was rewritten to 3:2.
At this point, the Kings are only one victory away from the golden O'Brien Trophy.
This once again made the Chinese fans rejoice.
At this time, almost the whole of China was shouting the slogan: Kings Championship.
At the same time, banners were displayed on many university campuses and even in some units: King's Championship!
For China, it was the first time that a player reached the finals as the main player and led his team to a 3:2 lead.
This has never happened in history.
The enthusiasm of the fans can be imagined.
Walking on the street, you can see fans wearing Wang Yi's No. 0 jersey everywhere.
The community where Wang Yi's family lives is like celebrating the New Year every day.
Almost all the doors to Wang Yi's home were kicked down by relatives, friends and media reporters.
There are also many Internet celebrities who squat downstairs at Wang Yi's house every day to wait for Wang Yi's parents.
Regardless of whether they have talent or not, these Internet celebrities who come to live broadcast in front of Wang Yi's community have basically become popular.
However, they have interfered with the normal life of NetEase parents.
In desperation, on Saturdays and Sundays, when Wang Jianhua didn't have to go to work, the two of them went back to live in the countryside.
Although they still have some relatives and friends visiting them every day when they return to the countryside, there are far fewer Internet celebrities.
After all, they had not been able to find out the location of Wang Yi's parents' hometown in a short period of time.
The schedule of the finals is not that intensive. Except for one game that is played every other day, the remaining games are played every other day.
On June 16th, the finals g6 finally came.
This game is played at the home court of the Kings.
Many big-name stars also came to the Kings home court. In addition, many domestic stars and sports stars also came.
Among them are Jay Chou, Hu Yanbin, Zhang Yishan, Olympic champion Zhang Yining, Sun Yang and as many as 12 others.
This shows how much China hopes for Wang Yi to win the championship.
Kings owner Ranadive is also gearing up at this time.
Prepare to celebrate grandly after winning the championship.
This is his biggest moment since taking over the Kings.
The first two quarters of this game also made Wang Yi's fans and all fans who support the Kings extremely happy.
Wang Yi still didn't get the chance to sign in this time.
This puzzled Wang Yi.
Although there have been times in the past when sign-ins were not given for several games in a row, that was during the regular season.
But now this is the finals.
You didn't sign in for me for three consecutive games in the finals. What do you mean?
However, Wang Yi is not frustrated because he did not have the opportunity to sign in.
On the contrary, when there was no chance to sign in, he became even more excited.
After all, defeating your opponent with your own ability will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.
And now the injury to his right middle finger has fully recovered.
He was 100% fit in this game.
Everything seemed to be going well in the first two quarters of this game.
Wang Yi has a hot three-point touch and shot 4 of 5 three-pointers in the first two quarters.
At the same time, he made 2 of 2 shots from within the three-point line.
Made 2 of 2 free throws.
A total of 18 points were scored.
In the entire first half, he only conceded one goal.
However, the number of shots was a bit low, only 7 shots were taken.
It didn't look as explosive as the previous games, but in fact the Kings led the Heat by as many as 28 points at halftime.
Because today my teammates are also feeling very hot.
Therefore, Wang Yi mainly spends his energy on helping his teammates score.
He is not a fool, and he naturally knows that the game will be easier if his teammates all shoot away.
At this time, everyone felt that the Heat and Kings championship was guaranteed.
They were only half a game away from the championship.
The Heat were on the verge of desperation at this time.
Their coach Spoelstra is already a little worried.
They couldn't restrain Wang Yi in the previous games.
In this game, Wang Yi's score was finally limited to less than 20 points at halftime. Regardless of whether it was restricted by them or not, Wang Yi only scored 18 points at halftime. As a result, all the other Kings players felt explosive.
Hield made 2 of 3 3-pointers;
Barnes went 2 for 2;
Bagley went 2-for-4.
Even Holmes, who had the worst three-point shooting percentage among the Kings' starting five, made 2 of 3 three-pointers today.
Mitchell, who came off the bench, made 1 of 2.
Danny 2 out of 3.
The Kings made an exaggerated 15 three-pointers in the first half, how could the Heat still fight?
However, the turning point occurred with 5 minutes left in the third quarter.
At that time, the Kings' lead had expanded to 30 points.
At this time, their main center Adebayor had already committed 5 fouls.
At that time, the Heat had almost no one else who could score, and they relied on Butler's two-pointer to stop the bleeding.
But he alone is not enough.
Even worse.
The second center has also committed four fouls, and the third center cannot play today because he triggered the epidemic prevention protocol.
The entire Heat team, including the coaches, seems to have lost their fighting spirit.
Only Butler is still struggling to support himself.
In this desperate situation, Heat coach Spoelstra finally remembered the guy at the end of the bench.
Chapter completed!
