Philadelphia.

In the 76ers training arena, the players went into training again.

It was already early June, and the Eastern Conference finals had just ended, but the 76ers didn't have much time to rest, because the finals were coming soon.

This time it is against the Spurs, the 76ers need to make some adjustments to adapt to the new opponents, and the coaching staff has also deployed some new tactics.

On the court.

The players are training in groups, with Qin Hao and Lu Wei, Iguodala, Xiaoka, Nene and others on one side, and Sessions and others in the other group.

At this time, Sessions broke through for a layup and hit the iron. Nene got a rebound and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao quickly launched a counterattack. When it came to the front court, he scored the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala passed to Lu Wei. Wei did not make a direct shot, but flickered for a while, and then broke through.

"Huh!"

Lu Wei scored a layup.

Although the goal was scored, coach Luke frowned and shouted at the court: "Lou Wei, you should just shoot the three-pointer, be resolute."

It's an intra-team match. Lu Wei can make a fuss and make a breakthrough. But in the finals, what about the Spurs?

You know, the Spurs are known for defensively.

The Spurs' defensive system is not covered. In the regular season, the two sides played against each other twice. As a result, the 76ers lost the two games and lost to the Spurs' defense.

Like Lu Wei just now, make a flick, such a delay, maybe the Spurs' defense is already in place, and it won't be so easy for him to break through and score easily.

So, it must be fast.

Coach Luke's requirement is to be "fast", give full play to his own characteristics, and quickly make it impossible for the Spurs to lay out the defense line calmly, so as to have a chance.

In fact, coach Luke thought about using a regular lineup before, but for a team like the Spurs, using a regular lineup would be very disadvantageous, because there is no advantage in position, I am afraid that Qin Hao can occupy this point. Cheap, but the Spurs' overall defense is notorious, and coach Luke has no idea how much advantage Qin Hao can take.

This makes Coach Luke have to consider continuing to play "one big and four small", the purpose is to find a breakthrough point, to find more counterpoint advantages, at least have an advantage on the offensive end.

Of course, Coach Luke did not completely abandon the regular lineup. If both sides are regular lineups, he feels that he can't take advantage of this side.

However, if you use "one hit four small" completely, you will suffer a lot on the defensive end, so coach Luke's idea is to prepare for both, and it depends on the situation.

On the field, the players continue...

Coach Luke unfolded the tactical board and wrote and painted on it, but in the end he was not satisfied.

Assistant Harry took a look and frowned: "Coach, are the Spurs really that strong? They are also better defensively. In terms of offense, I don't think they are our opponents."

"No." Coach Luke shook his head. "You are too underestimating the opponent. We have lost against the Spurs twice in the regular season, and I have studied the Spurs' previous playoff rounds. Their offense is not weak. , It’s just that the defense is too strong to hide the light on the offensive end."

"In the first round, the Spurs swept their opponent 4:0, the Spurs defeated the opponent 4:2 in the second round, and the Spurs swept 4:0 in the third round. Do you think this is accidental or luck?"

For a moment, Assistant Harry was speechless.

How could it be accidental, and it is even less likely to be luck.

If you can win the Western Conference championship by chance and luck, the gold content of the Western Conference championship is too low.

What's more, the Spurs swept their opponents 4:0 twice, and once 4:2. They have never hit a tiebreaker in the three rounds of the playoffs, and winning is not difficult. The strength is evident.

"Of course, our strength is not bad." Coach Luke changed his tone, looked at the court, and his eyes fell on the players. "After three rounds of the playoffs, our players have made great progress. Every round The playoffs are an experience for them. Now we are much better than in the regular season. Even if the Spurs are strong, we don't necessarily lose to them."

"Yeah." Assistant Harry nodded heavily and smiled.

Three rounds of the playoffs, especially the second round against the Heat, the third round against the Bulls, once hit the tiebreaker, once hit the sixth game, the opponents are very strong.

And the stronger the opponent, the more able to temper people.

After three rounds of the playoffs, every player of the 76ers has improved. After all, many of them have never experienced a game like the Eastern Conference Finals, and many of them are in their twenties.

Especially Qin Hao and Xiaoka.

Except for Butler only played one game due to injury, Qin Hao and Xiaoka played every game, and both played an important role and outstanding performance.

They are still young and still in the ascendancy. This is the first time they have played a game like the Eastern Conference Finals. This is the best whetstone for them.

When they went through six fights and finally won the Eastern Conference championship trophy, they all experienced a transformation invisibly.

and......

Assistant Harry looked to the other side. Butler was practicing free throws in one half of the court. His injury has not been fully healed, but he can walk freely. Although he doesn't dare to run and jump violently, he still can't practice free throws where he stands. What's the impact.

Even if he was injured, Butler did not give up training.

"In ten days, Butler should be able to come back." Assistant Harry said to himself, looking forward to the finals, "Qin Hao, Leonard are improving, everyone is improving, Butler will soon be able to Come back, at that time we will become stronger."

So even though the Spurs are strong, the 76ers are still full of confidence-if you can't beat it, you'll know it once you have played.

......

Twenty minutes later, Coach Luke stopped.

Today's training ends here, and then coach Luke called everyone into the conference room and began to watch the Spurs video for analysis.

Before the Eastern Conference semifinals and Eastern Conference finals, they had to face the Heat and the Bulls, and they had to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of them, and had no time to worry about others.

At this time, the finals are just around the corner, so I can only hurry up and make up for it.

Two hours later.

"Okay, let's be here today. Everyone will go back and have a good rest. The day after tomorrow is the finals." Coach Luke said, "This time, our goal is... the championship!"

Hearing the "Championship", the players' eyes lit up, and they were all excited and enthusiastic, shouting in unison: "For the championship!"

"For the championship!"

The NBA championship is the ultimate honour of the NBA for a season. It is the dream of every NBA team and the goal for the players.

And now, the championship is only one step away from them. As long as they defeat the Spurs and win the finals, they will reach the top and become the championship team!

This is not the Eastern Championship, but the championship!
