NBA President Xiao Hua also came to the court from the audience and shook hands with the Lakers players one by one.

He usually presents awards in person at the end of the finals. This is the first time he has presented awards in person in the Western Conference Finals.

Buss Jr. and Kupchak also came to the court excitedly to celebrate together.

Lin Tian was also extremely excited today. In his opinion, after defeating the Warriors, the Cavaliers are really not that scary.

He couldn't even imagine how the Lakers would lose against the Cavaliers.

The Warriors have already won, will they still be afraid of the Cavaliers?

And he will have five days of rest, which is very important to Lin Tian.

After Xiao Hua presented the awards to the team, Lin Tian and the others attended the post-game press conference.

After completing these things, when he returned to his apartment, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Not sure if he was too excited, Lin Tian tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

He simply took out his mobile phone to read today's news.

[The Lakers narrowly defeated the Warriors in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals! Reached the top of the Western Conference for the second consecutive year and met the Cavaliers in the Finals!]

[Lin Tian played 20 minutes with an injury and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Showing off his team boss style! 】

[Durant was interviewed and bluntly stated that the team played too poorly and this was not the Warriors he was familiar with.]

[Is there obvious internal strife? Green said after the game that someone in the team was not united and ruined the atmosphere in the locker room!]

[The dynasty collapsed before it was even established? Where will Durant go this summer? 】

…

The Warriors' poor locker room atmosphere has long been known to everyone. With the defeat in the Western Conference Finals, Durant's reputation has declined again.

The conflict between him and Green can even be said to have reached the point of mutual incompatibility.

Although Durant signed a two-year contract with the Warriors, no one knows whether he will stay with the Warriors next season.

The Warriors are a very humane team, especially for some veterans, and Green was the hero of previous championships.

If Durant wants the team to trade Green, no one knows who the Warriors will keep.

Lin Tian shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If it weren't for his appearance, Durant and the Warriors would undoubtedly win the championship trophy this year.

But his arrival has already completely rewritten history.

For Durant, he could only say sorry in his heart.

As for whether Durant will stay with the Golden State Warriors this summer, this is not what Lin Tian needs to care about now.

Thinking that he was very close to the next championship trophy, Lin Tian fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Lin Tian did not give himself a day off. He came to the arena after eating breakfast as usual.

When passing by the collection room of the arena, he took a second look at the Western Conference Championship trophy that he received last night.

This trophy is uglier than the O'Brien Cup, but it is still an honor.

When we arrived at the training hall, most of our teammates were already there.

They won't have even one more day off before the finals are over.

Today's training is undoubtedly aimed at the Cavaliers' lineup formation.

In the past two seasons, it was much easier for the Lakers to play the Cavaliers than it was to play the Warriors.

The Warriors have four All-Star players, while the Warriors only have three at best. Love was not even selected as an All-Star this season.

It is difficult for such a team to shake the Lakers.

"Lin! Does your ankle feel better today?"

Seeing Lin Tian, ​​Nick Yang quickly walked over.

Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "I feel much better."

Of course he was lying. He went through a fierce battle last night, and his ankle injury could not heal so easily.

Just to prevent his teammates from worrying about him, Lin Tiancai didn't tell the truth.

Lin Tian's words indeed made all the players happy. Howard smiled and said: "That's great! Now you can beat the Cavaliers easily!"

Wade also showed a rare expression of anticipation: "I have never faced off against LeBron in the Finals!"

He and James are well-known buddies in the league, and their relationship has even become a legend.

"Wade! I think you should teach James a lesson! He didn't tell you in advance when he left Miami," Howard said.

"Hahahaha! Don't mention this. I'm going to get angry when you mention this! I want to dunk on his head!"

A few people were chatting when Scott appeared and clapped his hands: "Hey hey hey! Guys! Get moving and train! Don't be lazy!"

With that said, Scott looked at Lin Tian again, "Lin, don't get me wrong, I didn't tell you, your most important task now is to recover from your injuries."

Lin Tian nodded, and then began to do exercises with the help of a rehabilitation therapist.

In the past few days where the Lakers and Cavaliers are training crazily, NBA officials and major media are also hyping up the upcoming finals.

After all, Durant's marriage to the Warriors was just treated as a joke after dinner.

What attracts the most attention is the annual finals.

In the past few days, Lin Tian's training intensity is not high, and his ankle injury is getting better day by day.

On June 4, the morning of the finals, Lin Tian could hardly feel that he was injured.

At 7 p.m., Staples Center Arena, there is still an hour before the official start of G1.

After the players from both sides entered the stadium, they exchanged a simple greeting.

Among them, what attracted the most attention from the media was the friendship between Wade and James. The two chatted for several minutes, but they did not talk about matters on the court.

After the chat, James was filled with emotion when he saw Wade return to the Lakers camp.

The reason why he left the Heat in the first place, in addition to going home, was because Wade's condition had declined to a certain extent.

Since leaving the Heat, James never imagined that Wade would meet him in the Finals one day.

If he loses to the Lakers in the finals this time, James will probably have nowhere to put his face.

The warm-up of both sides is over and the game begins.

Lakers starting lineup: Dellavedova, Wade, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker and Howard.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Irving, Jr. Smith, James, Love and Tristan Thompson.

Compared with last season's finals, not even one of the Cavaliers' starting lineup has changed.

The Lakers' starting backcourt has all been replaced, or it can be said that they have been strengthened in all aspects.

After the game started, James used his habit to help his teammates with the ball, allowing Love and Irving to play more singles.

Irving's breakthrough ability is stronger than Curry's, but his three-point ability is weaker than Curry's, so when Dellavedova defends him, he focuses more on breakthroughs.

Having been Irving's substitute for so long, Dellavedova is very familiar with Irving's breakthrough habits, and he actually defends them pretty well.
Chapter completed!
