Amid the wild cheers of the fans, Richard led the Pirates to begin their exit.

After returning to the locker room, the players were very excited, especially Mourning and Payton. The championship was close at hand. Next, they only needed to kill the Spurs or Lakers to win the championship they dreamed of.

"Okay, guys, just have fun, don't take this Eastern Conference championship too seriously."

"You also heard Michael's words. The Eastern Conference championship is nothing. I think whether it is Alonzo or Gary, they will definitely not take this Eastern Conference championship seriously. Their only goal is the championship."

"We don't want to be the number one loser, so we must win the next finals." Richard encouraged the generals in the locker room.

"Coach, I'm sorry..." Paul's apologetic voice came from the corner of the locker room.

He knows what his injury means, which means that the Pirates' championship difficulty has increased by several points.

In the end, the Pirates may lose the finals because of their mistakes at critical moments!

In this case, Paul was naturally very apologetic and felt sorry for everyone.

Richard waved his hand, "Don't worry, Chris, your injury is not serious. Maybe you will be able to appear on the training ground tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Richard still has a junior injury scroll on hand, which he can use right now for Paul.

Richard also has an intermediate injury scroll, but using it on Paul, who has no old injuries, is a bit of a waste.

…

Paul nodded reassuringly. Richard's words reassured him a lot. He may not believe what the team doctor said, but he would not disbelieve what Richard said. Who would doubt what Richard said?

"Old man, you worked hard today. Thank you for your perfect performance, which allowed us to advance to the finals easily." Richard thanked Payton.

Tonight, Payton scored 12 points and 6 assists at halftime. He was also effective in defending Billups and did not allow Billups to score too many points.

"Why are you saying thank you? It's like the Buccaneers won the championship without giving me the ring." Payton said with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, not to mention the fact that the Pirates have two super veterans on the team.

Mourning and Payton have high prestige among the newcomers. Seeing Payton make a rare joke, everyone felt that Payton became a lot more friendly.

…

After the Eastern Conference Finals, Richard patiently waited for the results of the Western Conference Finals.

After the Pirates eliminated the Pistons, the Spurs and Lakers played a big score of 3:2, with the Spurs temporarily taking the lead.

Richard feels that the Lakers may lose this series, and their strength is still not a match for the Spurs.

Although the Lakers introduced Ben and strengthened their inside strength, it is difficult for Ben to cause too much trouble for Duncan when he plays alone.

The previous top Blazers were only able to suppress the Spurs because the two of Auburn worked together.

Now the Lakers only have Ben, and the other inside players in the team are completely unable to do anything. It is unlikely to suppress the Spurs' inside players.

In terms of outside lineup, the Spurs' outside lineup is not worse than that of the Lakers. The Lakers have Kobe, while the Spurs have Parker and Ginobili.

As for the Lakers' Odom, the role he can play is actually not much greater than Bowen.

Sure enough, in the Western Conference Finals G6 game, although Kobe Bryant scored 41 points, he ultimately lost to the Spurs and had no choice but to stop in the Western Conference Finals, ending their journey this season.

Richard watched the live broadcast. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Kobe was shaking with anger.

If nothing else, the Lakers' lineup will definitely have to continue to strengthen next season.

As for whether to introduce Gasol to the Grizzlies, Richard can't say for sure.

This time next year, I'm afraid the Lakers' strength will become even more terrifying.

However, Richard is not very worried. Next year's Pirates will become a team that is so strong that it is impeccable. Even if the Lakers bring in Gasol, Richard doesn't care.

…

After Paul used the primary injury scroll, he returned from injury. This is exciting news for Pirates fans.

The Pirates are looking strong again.

…

The start time of this year's finals is a few days later than in previous years. It will not officially start until June 7.

Under normal circumstances, this is also the case. The finals also start on June 7th, but the end time is similar to previous years, because this year someone was swept...

On June 7, the Pirates Arena was packed with people.

Richard did some pre-war mobilization to ask the players to relax and not to be too tense at this moment, which would affect the state of the field.

In fact, players on both sides are a little nervous right now.

The Pirates have a lot of newcomers, so it's definitely impossible to reach the finals without being nervous at all.

The Spurs are also a little nervous.

If you want to say who the Spurs team has suffered and gained, it is undoubtedly Richard.

Under normal circumstances, the Spurs actually already have three championships in hand, namely the 1998-99 season, the 02-03 season and the 04-05 season.

But in 1999, they encountered the top Blazers and never broke out of the Western Conference.

In 2003, they encountered the Pistons at their peak and were defeated by the Pistons in the finals.

It was not easy until Richard went to join the new Pirates team, and they won the 2005 championship.

It can be said that when the Spurs met Richard in the playoffs, they never took advantage and always lost.

Now that the Spurs are meeting Richard's team in the finals, the Spurs are also excited.

Will history repeat itself? Will they lose to the Pirates again?

Although the strength of this Pirates team is not as good as the top Blazers and top Pistons, it is still a team led by Richard. Who knows what magical things Richard can do.

…

With half an hour left before the start of the game, Richard started bleeding.

They have already reached the finals. It was enough for Richard to lose to Jordan once in the finals. Now he is unwilling to lose to the Spurs no matter what.

The All-Star light remains, and this thing is not a particularly big improvement for the current players.

Richard also kept some scrolls on injuries and elixirs.

Richard made all the other things available for the players to use.

Richard took out the mad dog's entanglement and gave it to Roy.

Clark's hot pot was taken out for Mourning to use.

The happiness of the lower body is also for Mourning. The confrontation with Duncan will definitely be extremely fierce. Richard does not want Mourning to be injured.

If Paul is injured or injured in another position, Richard can come up with a replacement, but once Mourning is injured, Richard will be blinded directly. Varejao cannot replace Mourning's current role at all.

If fame points weren't too precious, Richard would even consider giving them all to the players.

…

After everything is ready, players from both sides begin to enter.

Richard came on the court to say hello to the opponent's Popovich. Popovich couldn't help but sigh as he saw Richard meeting up with Richard in the finals.

He couldn't figure out where this kid Richard got so much ability and was able to do things that ordinary people couldn't believe.

"Li, did you know in advance that Garbajosa was in poor health, so you recommended him to me?" Popovich asked with a low smile.

Garbajosa was injured and left the game in the Western Conference Finals, and it is now certain that he will not be able to participate in the finals.

However, this does not have a great impact on the Spurs' strength. They also have Horry who is more experienced.

Richard waved his hands quickly, he couldn't admit this.

"Greg, you have no conscience when you say this."

"Garbajosa made the Rookie First Team, right? As for the injury, who knows, I'm not really God. If I were God, I wouldn't have let Paul get injured in the Eastern Conference Finals."

Popovich just wanted to make a joke with Richard. He didn't expect Richard to make such a big move. Why did he feel that Richard really had something in his heart.

…

Players from both sides are already gearing up, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle and start the battle.

"Beep!" the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The Spurs' starting lineup made Richard couldn't help nodding in admiration. Popovich is really a person who spends little money to do big things.

Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley and Parker.

This Finley is Michael Finley, nicknamed the poor man's version of Jordan, and he was also an All-Star in his prime.

Although his condition has declined a bit now, it is still very easy to average ten points per game.

The key is that it's cheap enough. Finley's previous contract was bought out by the Mavericks, and he later joined the Spurs...

Popovich didn't know what magic he cast to make the former All-Star favor the Spurs and sign a fairly cheap contract.

For Finley, it doesn't matter how big the contract he signs. Anyway, he can only take the Mavericks' buyout contract.

For the Spurs to get a former All-Star like Finley with an annual salary of less than three million US dollars, they must have taken a big advantage.

…

In addition to this starting lineup, the Spurs' bench lineup is also quite strong, with Ginobili and Horry in charge.

The Pirates' starting lineup is Mourning, Milicic, Iguodala, Granger and Paul.

Players from both sides walked to the midfield line to jump the ball. Milicic performed well and got the first ball.

Paul assisted Mourning at the basket in the opening game and scored two points on Oberto's head.

Oberto is definitely the weak link in the Spurs' starting lineup. He is the weakest among the five. Not only is he the worst among the Spurs' starting lineup, but also among some ordinary teams in the league, I'm afraid he won't be able to start. …

Let alone against Mourning, maybe Varejao can easily deal with Oberto when he comes on.

Richard made it clear before the game that he wanted to beat Oberto until Popovich replaced Oberto.

The Pirates won the first offensive round, and then it was the Spurs' offensive round.

Parker broke through with the ball, but he faced Paul's defense. Paul's speed was also top-notch when he was young. It would definitely not be easy for Parker to use his speed to get rid of Paul.

After several attempts to break through failed, Parker passed the ball to Finley, who missed a three-point shot from the outside, and Mourning also got the rebound.

It was the Pirates' offensive round again, and they still implemented the strategy of beating Oberto hard.

At this time Milicic showed his huge value.

After Paul handed the ball to Milicic, Milicic organized the next attack. Of course, the only target he organized was Mourning.

Duncan's defense is so good that neither Milicic nor Mourning can score in front of him.

But they had no intention of confronting Duncan, they just wanted to catch Oberto and fight him.

Duncan came to guard Mourning, and Milicic immediately singled out Oberto.

Duncan switched to guard Milicic, and Milicic used his strong passing ability to assist Mourning to score.

Anyway, I just won't go head-to-head with Duncan. No matter how strong Duncan is on defense, I just won't give you a chance to show it off.

This tactic is naturally quite vulgar. Richard actually doesn't like vulgar tactics. He prefers head-on tactics.

But right now, because there is no super center in the team, we can only play this kind of cumbersome tactics...

In the opening minutes, Oberto's point was firmly seized by the Pirates, giving the Pirates a considerable lead.

Popovich stood on the sidelines with a livid face and roared at the referee on the court. After all, he was one of the three roaring gods of the coaching community.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Popovich immediately called a timeout.

He knew very well that Oberto could not stay on the court at this point. If he continued to stay on the court, Richard would definitely hold on to him.

"Manu, get ready to play..." Popovich sighed. The game had just begun and he had to bring out Ginobili, the big killer on the bench.

Of course, Popovich can actually use Horry as the power forward, but Horry is short and older. It's hard to say whether Horry can be better defensively than Oberto.

Popovich felt that if nothing unexpected happened, if he sent Horry, Richard might start to beat Horry again.

…

Seeing Popovich send out a lineup of one large and four small, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. This was the situation he wanted.

If Duncan had a helper inside, he would be too difficult to deal with. Now that there is no helper, Milicic and Mourning must work together to prevent Duncan from having too violent an explosion.

Although the Spurs have four small lineups, in fact, because Milicic is young enough and has good physical fitness, he is quite effective when chasing the old Bowen or the old Finley.

Finley is 34 years old this year. If he is really active, the Mavericks will not be able to buy out his contract.

As for Bowen, he is even older, he is 36 years old...

The defensive strength is still there, but on the offensive end it is difficult to get out of the open space comfortably.

In the Pirates' offensive round, Paul still controls the ball to the frontcourt and then hands it to Milicic.

With Milicic's seven-foot height, unless Duncan comes to match him, no matter who he hits, it will be out of position, and he can easily shoot the mid-range shot comfortably.

And if Duncan comes to pursue the defense, Milicic uses his strong organizational skills to assist Mourning to score.

It can be said that Milicic is Richard's killer weapon against the Spurs.

Careful fans should be able to find that many European centers who are good at organizing are actually inferior to those of dark and rough center players.

However, their contracts are not much thicker than those of Hei Fu. The reason is the strategic value of these European organization centers.

They can lead the team inside to open up the situation.

…

In the defensive round, Mourning was responsible for facing off against Duncan alone. It was definitely impossible to defend him alone, but it was not that easy for Duncan to score points unscrupulously.

Milicic and Iguodala are responsible for dealing with the two veterans of the Spurs. From time to time, they can allocate some energy to harass Duncan.

…

Popovich's eyes widened with anger, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart that Milicic might be a nightmare for the Spurs.

When Milicic was selected by Richard, he also talked about it with Larry Brown. Larry Brown looked down on Milicic extremely and thought that Richard had finally made a mistake.

Popovich doesn't look down on Milicic like Larry Brown does, but he doesn't take Milicic too seriously either.

But Milicic's performance tonight made him realize that Milicic is a bit too scary a player.
