The league is very happy to see the rise of your team, but at the same time they also like to see the revival of old strong teams. The Los Angeles Lakers and Seattle Supersonics belong to such teams, not because the Los Angeles Lakers are rich in wealth For one thing, the Sonics are a rich man at best.

As a commercial alliance, each game needs to have a high degree of attention, so as to attract more advertisers and get more broadcast revenue. This requires a gimmick, and every important game must have one or more Only then will the game be sought after by the media, and the media will broadcast or report the game, so as to attract more viewers and earn more income.

Just like the Seattle Supersonics met the San Antonio Spurs, that is the battle of revenge and the confrontation between the old Spurs. One refers to the fact that the Spurs eliminated the Supersonics last season, and the other refers to the origin of the two teams. If the Supersonics The team met the Orleans Hornets, that is, who is the real strong player in the show in the same year. Although this slogan is a little weaker, it can still attract some people.

If the Sonics meet the Denver Nuggets, it will be two offensive teams, who has the firepower, and the two teams will score more than 120 points in each of the six semifinal games. , has attracted enough attention. If you meet the Rockets, it will be Yao Ming’s counterattack.

The last thing the league wants the Supersonics to meet is the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks, because there is nothing to watch and nothing to hype about them. At the same time, what the league doesn't like is the Supersonics The team ran into the Los Angeles Lakers prematurely. As the two most popular and appealing teams in the West, what the league hopes most is that they will stage a showdown in the Western Conference Finals. If they meet too early, the two teams will inevitably If one is eliminated, the subsequent games will lose their appeal. [

Therefore, these two teams entered the Western Conference finals, which made the commercial department of the league very happy. Various means of promotion such as advertisements, publicity, and interviews were used. The team's duel attracted hundreds of millions of attention.

Stephen and Kobe Bryant have the same height and the same position. Although they play different styles and skills, they are both players with crazy scoring ability. I don't mind appearing as Michael Jordan's successor, but I have encountered a challenge from a player who is also considered to be comparable to Michael Jordan. This not only gave him a strong sense of challenge, but also gave him a sense of time passing I feel that my ul time is too late, it would be fine if it was two years earlier.

Stephen's youth made him a little envious and jealous, but Stephen's performance made him a little respectful. Kobe Bryant did not admit that Stephen was superior to him, but he had to admit that Stephen was a player of the same level as him, and he was also a member of the league. The only player who can compete with him, of course, in the eyes of the fans, he also thinks so.

Kobe Bryant is also very popular in China. He is the most popular among basketball players except Yao Ming and Stephen. The duel between the two naturally attracted the enthusiasm of domestic fans. Fans The only regret is that the duel between the two is not in the Finals, that would be meaningful, of course, it is also possible in the Western Conference Finals now.

Zhongyng TV station also sent a live broadcast team for the regional finals for the first time. In the past, they only did this in the finals. At the same time, they also carried out a lot of publicity work in the country. The fan group of Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant, and these three are the most charismatic players in the country.

The team, the league, and the media all attach great importance to this game, and the merchants represented by several people are also very optimistic about the stage of the regional finals. It’s a pity that it’s not the finals, otherwise the effect will be better. Together, the matchup between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers has received unprecedented attention.

Relatively speaking, the confrontation between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers was not such a sensation, because the Cleveland Cavaliers only had one LeBron James with a relatively outstanding market effect, while Boston was much worse. Their Big Three It's just relatively successful on the competitive level. On the commercial level, only Kevin Garnett is not bad, but now it's already twilight.

Since the Sonics have home court advantage, they have to play two games in Seattle before going to Los Angeles. Therefore, Seattle has been very lively these two days. Foreign fans and media personnel have crowded all the hotels near the stadium. Fortunately, the number of people that can be accommodated in the basketball court is limited, and basketball does not have the habit of following the team to watch away games, otherwise the entire city of Seattle would have to be busy.

Naturally, the ticket sales work started a long time ago, and it ended ahead of schedule. With the current hot situation, it is natural that it will be sold out. Even so, there are still a large number of fans who have not been able to buy tickets. Many fans proposed to buy tickets at double or triple the price on the Internet, but there were very few transactions, because the popularity of the Supersonics football market came too suddenly, and the scalpers have not yet been cultivated. Those who bought tickets were real fans, how could they change hands again.

The game started in this atmosphere. For the Sonics, many players entered the conference finals for the first time, including Yao Ming. Only Stephen and Kurt Thomas had such experience. So when the game started, The Supersonics played a bit timidly, as if they didn't dare to use their strength. On the contrary, the Lakers had rich experience. At the beginning of the game, after they discovered the tension here, they launched a powerful attack. The offensive was intended to defeat the Sonics in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Yao Ming quickly stabilized at this time, and the inside line of defense composed of Kurt Thomas firmly blocked the Lakers' offense from the line of defense, especially Andrew Bynum, who has always been the vanguard of the Lakers' offense. Facing Yao Ming in today's game, he has been unable to start the game, and can only rely on Pau Gasol to score from the outside.

At this time, Stephen also began to strengthen the cooperation with Yao Ming. The two of them, one inside and one outside, started from the pick-and-roll and played several times in a row to catch up the score. At this time, Stephen and Kobe Bryant did not even have a real match. Go up, but fight each other.

Suddenly, Earl Watson, who was dribbling forward, was blocked by Derek Fisher, slipped and fell to the floor. Looking at him clutching his ankle, he knew that the injury was not that simple. Sure enough, waiting The team doctor came over and saw that there was obvious swelling, so he had to help him down and replaced him with Russell Westbrook.
