Chapter 112 James was scolded by the whole network! Playing with Liu Yifei!
Chapter 112
In previous years' finals, the competition in the Western Conference was more intense and attracted more attention.
In terms of ratings, the Western Conference also has the upper hand.
However, the ratings of this year's Eastern Conference Finals were more than 20 percentage points higher than those of the Western Conference. There is only one reason for this, and that is the battle between Wang and Yan against the Big Three.
The Lakers led by Kobe in the Western Conference were eliminated, and the number of fans decreased a lot.
Although the Oklahoma City Thunder's big four have already shown their potential at this time, their qualifications in all aspects are still insufficient. Their fan base is naturally not comparable to that of Kobe and James, not to mention the rookie king Wang Yan!
Even as the Cavaliers advanced to the finals, the Western Conference was still fighting.
The Thunder are already leading 3:2 and have the match point.
When the Mavericks were playing away, Westbrook of the Thunder made a bold statement before the game that they must beat the Mavericks away from home!
In 2011, Westbrook had not yet been injured by Beverley, and his physical functions were at their peak. He was truly omnipotent in the game.
The viewing value is still full.
In the interview, Wang Yan only praised two people, one was Wade from the Eastern Conference and the other was Westbrook from the Western Conference.
Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals begins.
The Mavericks have shown great resilience. Although the players are generally older, never underestimate a champion's heart!
In the first quarter, the Mavericks had a small climax and led the Thunder by 11 points.
Nowitzki was in hot form, making 12 of 8 shots and scoring 19 points in a single quarter.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was so happy that he danced with joy.
I guess this is the boss who loves basketball the most in the league.
In the second quarter, the Thunder, led by Harden, began to chase points, but Terry and Kidd of the Mavericks showed their strength again and maintained the offensive.
At the end of the first half, the Mavericks still led by 10 points.
The commentators on the scene all believed that the Mavericks played their cards well today, and as long as they could hold on throughout the game, they would definitely drag the Thunder into a Game 7.
In the third quarter, the Thunder still seemed to be unable to find the rhythm and were suppressed by the Mavericks.
After three quarters, the score was 87:71, with the Mavericks leading by 16 points.
Just when fans and commentators thought the Mavericks had the game decided and could tie the score, Westbrook suddenly showed his strength.
Westbrook only rested for 2 minutes in the third quarter and came on the court with the substitutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
He first took Terry down, then continued to break into the penalty area, passing the ball to the substitute center, who then scored points.
Under Westbrook's impact, the Mavericks' substitutes couldn't hold on.
The score difference was quickly narrowed to 9 points.
The Mavericks had no choice but to replace all the main players except Nowitzki in advance.
After all, the driver is old and needs to rest more.
After Marion came on, he guarded Westbrook, but Harden broke out again.
Harden played averagely in the first three quarters today. He rested for two minutes in the fourth quarter and returned to the game.
He and Westbrook formed a luxurious backcourt and scored consecutively.
Step back three points!
Break into the penalty area and make a short layup!
Harden showed off his various offensive methods.
After more than five minutes of the fourth quarter, the score difference was narrowed to 5 points and the Mavericks' lead was eroded.
There was no choice, Mavericks head coach Carlisle called a timeout.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, Westbrook and Harden dominated the game, and with Ibaka's defense, the Thunder actually reversed the Mavericks!
Durant had a cold touch today and was a bit of a drag.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks by 5 points, with a score of 4:2, and advanced to the finals!
The wind direction of the NBA suddenly changed, and the younger generation rose rapidly.
It was originally thought that James formed the Big Three and was at his peak, and could dominate the league for several years.
Unexpectedly, the Big Three didn’t even make it out of the Eastern Conference.
The two teams in the finals are two young teams.
After defeating the Big Three, Wang Yan had to face the increasingly powerful Thunder Fab Four.
James' reputation plummeted, and both the media and fans launched fierce criticism against him.
In fact, if there was no Wang Yan, people would still be able to understand James.
But compared with Wang Yan, James seems too soft.
Both of them were selected by the Cavaliers and were the top picks.
James has worked hard for many years, and the Cavaliers owner has paid a lot of luxury taxes and brought in a lot of helpers for James.
Even so, James still failed to help the Cavaliers win the championship.
He only made it to the finals once and had his head shaved by the Spurs. It's really embarrassing.
Look at Wang Yan again, he is surrounded by a group of rookies with no experience.
But not only did he win numerous honors in his first season, he also led the team to the best record in the league.
The regular season was a long one, and the playoffs were still a big hit.
The most dramatic thing is that Wang Yan and the Big Three met in the Eastern Conference Finals and fought hand-to-hand!
Fans all over the world thought that the collision between the two teams would be like Mars hitting the Earth, and there would inevitably be a fierce battle.
Even many media and fans think that the two teams will most likely play a game seven.
After all, the Big Three are experienced.
Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Wang Yan, the Cavaliers almost shaved the Heat's heads.
If it weren't for the referee's help, the Heat would not have been able to keep their home court.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away!
James and Wang Yan’s starting points are very similar, but the paths they took are completely different!
This caused James to face the biggest credibility crisis since entering the NBA.
The whole network is spraying!
There has never been a player who has been criticized by so many people. This is the first time in history.
Although James has a strong mental state, he can't stand this kind of criticism.
So during the offseason, James revealed to a media friend that he wanted to leave the Heat.
Come to think of it, Wang Yan is just a first-year rookie and will only become stronger in the future.
Then James has no future in the Heat.
So James expressed his plan to go to a Western Conference team.
Although this news has not been confirmed, it still caused heated discussion among fans.
The fans' criticism of James did not decrease, but became louder.
"coward!"
"Coward!"
"loser!"
All kinds of words were thrown at James.
Wang Yan was also shocked when looking at his phone. The online exposure was really terrible. Fortunately, it was not me who was exposed, hehehe!
. . . .
After defeating the Heat, the Cavaliers can rest for seven or eight days before playing in the finals.
Head coach Scott gave the players three days off to allow them to rest well, but they were required to maintain two hours of physical training every day at home.
Wang Yan was just thinking about where to go for fun these days when good news came from Liu Yifei.
The filming of her latest movie has been completed and will be premiered soon.
Previously, Liu Yifei was only a supporting role in this movie, the third female lead, and she didn’t have many scenes.
But when investors learned that Liu Yifei was Wang Yan's girlfriend, they sensed a huge business opportunity. Many Americans got to know Liu Yifei because of Wang Yan.
In addition, Liu Yifei's appearance is very attractive and is accepted by both Eastern and Western movie fans, so her popularity has also increased rapidly.
This made the investors decide: give Liu Yifei more scenes!
After adding more and more scenes, in the end Liu Yifei's role was almost the same as that of the leading actress.
Especially after Wang Yan led the Cavaliers into the Eastern Conference Finals, the investors ordered the screenwriter to change the script.
In the original script, Liu Yifei's character is a tragic character and she dies in the end.
But because the investors found that Wang Yan's popularity continued to soar, they asked the screenwriter to keep Liu Yifei alive until the end.
The investors are very far-sighted. If the drama is to have a sequel, Liu Yifei will be able to continue to star in it.
With Wang Yan's strength, he will achieve greater success in the future, and Liu Yifei's traffic will also increase!
Liu Yifei also understood in her heart that the reason she had more and more roles was because of Wang Yan.
She turned her inner gratitude into practical actions.
Every time she accompanies Wang Yan, she will devote her whole heart to it. For some of Wang Yan’s special requests, Liu Yifei will try her best to cooperate and ensure that Wang Yan is satisfied!
For this premiere, the organizer not only invited Liu Yifei, but also her boyfriend Wang Yan!
Wang Yan usually doesn't like to get involved in entertainment industry affairs and has no interest in it.
"Baby, the premiere will only last a few hours, just think of it as accompanying me!" Liu Yifei hugged Wang Yan's arm coquettishly.
Wang Yan deliberately frowned and said lazily, "I still have to play in the finals. I finally have a few days off. I don't want to bother with that. You can go by yourself!"
Liu Yifei knew that her status in the crew was getting higher and higher because of Wang Yan.
If Wang Yan doesn't attend the premiere, it will definitely affect her future.
Although she also sincerely likes Wang Yan, Liu Yifei is a very competitive person and she also hopes that her career will prosper.
"Just consider it as a plea from me, okay? As long as you come with me to the premiere, I'll agree to anything you ask for!"
Liu Yifei said in a low voice, feeling aggrieved.
Wang Yan was actually teasing her on purpose. Seeing Liu Yifei's eyes were red, he felt a little distressed.
"Are you really going to agree to everything?"
Wang Yan bent down and asked.
When Liu Yifei heard that this was possible, she immediately nodded her head like a chicken eating rice: "Of course, I will agree to anything you say..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something and her face immediately turned red.
Wang Yan smiled evilly, coughed twice and stopped talking.
Liu Yifei rubbed her hands on her clothes and asked in a low voice: "You...you don't want me to do that, do you?"
Wang Yan spread his hands, leaned back on the sofa, and answered righteously: "I didn't say that! I never like to force others. If you are willing... that's fine!"
Liu Yifei lowered her head and remained silent, seemingly struggling with her thoughts.
Wang Yan was playing with his cell phone and didn't say anything.
After about a minute, Liu Yifei seemed to have made up her mind.
"Okay, baby, I promise you, but I have to tell you in advance that I do this because I love you, not to exchange anything with you!"
Wang Yan held back his laughter, pulled Liu Yifei over, and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
"Don't be so tragic, as if I'm forcing you. I'm kidding. I'll accompany you to the premiere and you don't have to do anything!"
Liu Yifei blushed and whispered in Wang Yan's ear: "Actually, I also want to try it out and see what it feels like. Just be gentle..."
Wang Yan laughed, picked up Liu Yifei and walked towards the bathroom.
. . . .
The next night, the film's premiere was held in Los Angeles.
Wang Yan and Liu Yifei came to the premiere in their best attire.
When the media reporters saw Wang Yan, they all ran over.
All other stars pale in comparison to Wang Yan.
Several bigwigs from the investment side came over and greeted Wang Yan.
Wang Yan greeted them in a dignified manner, and then was surrounded and sat in the center seat of the first row.
Originally Liu Yifei was only the second female lead, but because she was Wang Yan's girlfriend, she naturally pushed the first female lead to the side.
Even though the leading actress was very unhappy, there was nothing she could do as Liu Yifei's popularity was increasing, even surpassing the leading actress.
Popularity represents traffic, and traffic represents box office!
Therefore, the investors will certainly hold Liu Yifei in high regard.
At tonight's premiere, Wang Yan became the focus of the audience and earned enough face for Liu Yifei.
After returning home in the evening, Liu Yifei rewarded Wang Yan with a delicious meal...
. . . .
The finals are about to begin.
The Cavaliers and Thunder have become new forces in the NBA.
Because the Cavaliers easily defeated the Big Three of the Heat under the leadership of Wang Yan, the media and fans were more optimistic about the Cavaliers before the finals.
But Wang Yan and his teammates did not underestimate the enemy.
Wang Yan continued to play the bad guy with Scott, and was still very strict during the pre-match training.
The Oklahoma City Thunder's big four faced the media and expressed their desire for the championship.
Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka were interviewed by the media.
The reporter asked: "The Cavaliers are in great momentum. They defeated the Heat's Big Three who were once so powerful. Do you feel any pressure?"
Judging from the expressions of the four people, Durant and Harden are under pressure, and both of them look worried.
However, Westbrook and Ibaka are the types who are fearless.
Westbrook grabbed the microphone and answered loudly: "Beating the Big Three of the Heat is nothing, we can do it too! Wang Yan's style of play has been cracked by us, and you will see in the finals how we beat the Cavaliers!"
Ibaka also answered confidently: "The Cavaliers are indeed very strong, but we have Durant, Westbrook and Harden. The strength of our Thunder is not inferior to the Cavaliers at all. I believe we will keep the championship trophy in the West!"
The reporter looked at Durant, wanting him to say a few words, after all, he is the real boss of the Thunder.
Durant had no choice but to take the microphone and answered in a low voice: "We will beat the Cavaliers within six games and win the championship trophy. Just wait and see!"
The reporters all smiled and shook their heads. They found that Durant seemed to lack confidence and his speech was too official.
Finally, the reporter asked Harden another question: "Mr. James, your playing time is increasing. Does it mean that you will be in the starting lineup in the finals?"
Harden was holding his breath because he thought he could win the best sixth man award this year.
Unexpectedly, the best sixth man award was snatched away by the Cavaliers' Isaiah Thomas.
So he took the microphone and answered unhappily: "I will not be in the starting lineup, everything will be arranged by the coach, but I will definitely beat Thomas of the Cavaliers!"
The media are all very happy. The feud between these two people should be a highlight of the finals!
At the same time, the media also interviewed Wang Yan.
Wang Yan behaved very calmly in front of the media, as if the finals was not a big deal for him.
