Soon the Heat flew from Miami to San Antonio. They have also done a lot of preparation work in the past few days. Like Popovich, Pat Riley regarded the Pistons as the biggest enemy of the division early in the morning. The team is most likely to be his opponent in the finals, but he hopes to be another team. Regardless of the Suns or the Mavericks, he doesn't think it will cause him any major trouble.

Neither the lineup nor the style of play of the Suns is very good, and they all have big flaws, especially in the playoffs. The shortcoming of the Mavericks lies in the coaching. He played against the Spurs once. In decline, although Avery Johnson's strategy was correct. Since he couldn't compare with the opponent in tactics, he simply didn't use tactics, but he didn't stick to his own strengths and exposed his inexperienced side.

From the match between the two teams and the Spurs, he discovered a lot, but not much can be used. Although Popovich is a novice in the position of coach, he is extremely talented and has eclectic changes. Unconstrained thinking, observation and discovery of the situation on the field are very keen, not much easier to deal with than Phil Jackson, just like Pat Riley himself, some weaknesses you dare not catch at all, maybe it is the opponent The trap laid out.

So in the first game, Pat Riley didn't plan to use any outside moves, but planned to use orthodox tactics and style of play to fight against the opponent, and then find out the shortcomings of his own team and see the opponent. What's the weakness? Of course, Pat Riley won't let Popovich figure it out. It's good if he doesn't calculate others. He still has this confidence.

Since both San Antonio and Miami have a coastal climate, there is no difference in climate. This allows the Heat players to adapt to the climate here. It is much better than flying to the northernmost Detroit when playing in the conference finals. Although It is said that as a player, you have to fly around, and you have already adapted to this situation, but on the eve of such an important game, it is better to be happier.

There is no very dignified atmosphere. If the players are nervous, the team will arrange people to provide psychological counseling to prevent the players from performing abnormally on the court due to excessive nervousness. Just as the two teams are preparing for the game, various working organizations of the league I am also busy with nervousness. After all, the finals only come once a year, and this also means the end of this season. This is the highlight and finale of a season, and various commercial promotion activities are going on non-stop.

Tickets for the Spurs were sold out two days ago. After the league decided on the start time of the Finals, as soon as the ticket sales channel opened, the official website of the Spurs sold out more than 7000 tickets in just one hour. Tickets, in addition to leaving more than 5000 tickets for package ticket holders, the remaining tickets are less than 2. Because it is the finals, the team specially expanded the stadium, but it can accommodate [-]. More than two thousand fans.

At the same time, in addition to purchasing the rights to broadcast the game from the league, the major media outlets around the world have also arranged broadcast groups. In recent years, the league's global promotion has been very effective, and it has now recovered from the low tide of Jordan's retirement. Over time, compared to baseball and rugby, basketball is much more accepted around the world, so the Finals is also a grand event in the global basketball world, as well as a grand event in the media world.

San Antonio International Airport has taken off and landed a lot more these days, and the major hotels in the urban area are also full. San Antonio Mayor Julian Custer also publicly expressed his welcome to the guests who came to San Antonio on the TV program, and extended his congratulations to everyone The characteristics and various specialties of San Antonio were introduced. Therefore, the whole city of San Antonio was full of joy for the Spurs to reach the finals. It is said that the city government has already started preparations for the parade ceremony after winning the championship.

Fans and citizens also spontaneously held various celebrations. Although Popovich did not want his players to be disturbed in order to prepare for the game, for the sake of the team, he arranged for some players to be interviewed by the media. Among them was the interview with Stephen by China Central Television. Although Yao Ming did not come to prepare for the World Championships, he also called Stephen specifically to cheer for Stephen, and at the same time expressed a faint sense of envy.

At the same time, in China, Stephen’s praise was once again set off. Unlike Battelle, who followed the Spurs to win the championship like soy sauce, Stephen is the absolute main force of the team. So far, he has not missed a game, and his playing time still ranks first in the team. First of all, in terms of performance, it is on par with the team's Duncan, and Stephen's style of play is explosive, his performance is entertaining, and his experience is also quite legendary. Many places are hyped.

For example, if the Spurs win the championship, Stephen will be the first player in the history of the Spurs to win the college basketball championship and the championship at the same time. Of course, Stephen will also win the college championship and come to the Spurs. No.1, Stephen is also the first person who has just won the college basketball league championship and won the championship as the main force in the second year.

There are also speculations about Stephen in the United States. After all, he was born in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is the most developed place in the American news media. Forget the fact that Stephen is only half Chinese, the argument of the first xxx in China keeps popping up.

Where there is praise, there will be criticism, but is there any debate among celebrities, and the more people who argue, the wider the scope of the debate, the greater Stephen's reputation, and the only one who has benefited from it is Wake Company, and they are very lucky at this time I had the foresight to sign Stephen at such a cheap price. When they signed Stephen at this price, some colleagues and experts said that they had made a loss-making deal. Stephen was only a second-round player after all, and Spending so much money on a player who's only played half a season, and if he's a flash in the pan, it's a waste of money.

However, Wick Company already knew that when Stephen played the All-Star Game, Wick Company had already earned back the endorsement fees invested in Stephen. Afterwards, they made money back. Stephen won the two awards of Best Rookie and Best Sixth Man. Wake Company added an additional expenditure, but the money was extremely willing. With the development of Stephen's generation in China With the hot sales and the gradual opening of the North American market, no one has said that Wake has lost money. The curve has entered the Spurs to increase negotiation capital and gamble Stephen, which is a successful case studied by sports equipment manufacturers.

They are preparing to take advantage of the wind of the finals to continue to launch a final version of Stephen's generation, which is also a limited edition. After the launch of the last limited edition, they discovered that the buyers are not only from China and North America, but even from Japan. There are a large number of buyers ordering in Japan and Taiwan. Although many people did not get it, they all left their own information and hope to continue to buy new models.

Although the first generation of Stephen is a classic and the sales are also very good, but because it was launched in a hurry at the beginning, neither the design nor the production is particularly exquisite, but fortunately, the price is still reasonable, which is just in line with the reality of the domestic market and the low-end market in North America. requirements, but Stephen's reputation is improving, such shoes are no longer worthy of Stephen's status, and the launch of the second generation is naturally reasonable.

Originally, it was the right time to launch the finals, but because both parties have high requirements for this shoe, the design work has not been completed until now, and both parties are unwilling to lower the requirements, so they have to continue to launch a limited edition of the first generation. The code had to be launched in the offseason, and it happened that Stephen could personally participate in the promotion activities. Although the contract between the two parties was only signed for two years, both Wick Company and Stephen have an idea, that is, each model must be produced. The company strives for perfection and never shoddy. Wake Company still wants to continue to cooperate with Stephen, so it is also looking for the long-term, and is not in a hurry to pursue short-term profits.

Before the start of the finals, several senior executives from Wake Company came. In addition to sending shoes to Stephen, they also came to feel the atmosphere of the finals. At the same time, they negotiated with the Spurs to sign the sponsorship of sneakers and stadium equipment for the next season. For the billboard contract, Wake Company is already a worthy partner for the Spurs, so the business promotion department of the Spurs also sent them a few tickets for the front row. A vote is hard to come by.

Coupard also brought Palauson to San Antonio. The Clippers have been eliminated long ago. He is doing nothing now. He originally planned to start training with Stephen. Now that Stephen’s side can’t end, he doesn’t want to be alone. He ran over for training. As for Palauson, with his devotion to this sport, he also wanted to see the atmosphere of the finals.

Fortunately, Stephen doesn't have too many relatives and friends. His father and mother are preparing to move, and his aunt can't come, so there won't be a situation where players need to borrow money to buy tickets. Stephen's agent naturally also came here. It’s over, Stephen’s contract extension should be on the agenda, and how big this contract is depends on Stephen’s performance in the finals. The bigger the stage, the more valuable your performance and the data you get. If twenty plus five plus five in the regular season is a star player, then if twenty plus five plus five in the finals is a superstar player.

In this way, the [-]-[-] season finals began at the SBC Center Stadium. The stadium that was crowded in the past is now even more crowded, but even so, there are still a large number of fans waiting outside, wanting to watch See if you can squeeze in, and when Popovich announced the starting roster, he found that it was different from before, but Stephen's name was still in it.
