Standing pretty old

Chapter 779
"We won't fall in the same place twice, the Lakers will definitely win this year's championship!" Kobe Bryant, who had been relatively low-key throughout the season, finally issued a victory declaration in the early stage of the finals.

The Mamba that people are familiar with is back. If he didn't have full confidence in himself and the desire to win, then Kobe would not be Kobe.

However, at best this is confidence, at worst it is paranoia.

Although Americans believe that paranoia will definitely succeed, from another perspective, this is not much different from the second disease.

One party has spoken, and now it is the turn of the other party to speak.

Ruan Erniu said in an interview: "Our goal has not changed since the beginning of the season. Of course Kobe is qualified to express his opinion, but it is only his opinion. In a few days, we will use the game to prove everything."

If the dialogue between the leaders of the two teams is considered restrained, then the other players of the two teams may not be so polite.

Lunar Eclipse said with sarcasm: "I don't think the Lakers will cause us any trouble in the finals. We are a team with 75 wins and 34 consecutive victories. Even the team with Wilt Chamberlain and Jay It's impossible for the Lakers of West West to beat us, let alone the current Lakers!"

Once a thing like tearing has started, it will not end easily.

Just after the lunar eclipse here, Lamar Odom stood up and said: "Some people hug the thighs of historical players and think they are players of the same level. Not qualified to judge Chamberlain and West."

As soon as Lama finished his opinion, Jamal Crawford stood up and said: "I don't understand why a team that has not had a championship for many years feels good about a team that has just completed two consecutive championships and is about to complete a dynasty. Or is it that the Los Angeles Lakers championship has always been sprayed out by mouth."

Ke 6 is the Eagles who only joined this season, so Ron Artest, who also joined the Lakers this season, stood up and said: "Comparing with history, the Lakers currently have 14 championships, while the Hawks only have 3. For the Atlanta native who won the second championship trophy after 40 years, what qualifications do they have to say about the Lakers?"

"Did the Lakers really win the championship with their mouths? Does the history of the Lakers have anything to do with the current Lakers? Our two championships were won by ourselves."

"The people of Atlanta have always been country bumpkins without a gentleman's humor."

"Are the Lakers funny? They're just posturing. They just can't beat us, let the facts speak for themselves."

……

"Fxxx, do the Hawks think they've won a championship? They're crazy."

"Sxxxx, the Lakers are a group of LOSERs, they won't be happy for a few days."

……

The violence has continued from the front of the media to the Internet, and the words have become more and more unspeakable.

Most people always think that the truth becomes clearer when they are young, but when they grow up, they realize that people can never be persuaded.

People will never change their stereotypes unless they are really facing failure.

Instead of thinking about convincing the other party, it is better to turn around and do something you love to do.

After some rhetoric, the Los Angeles Lakers arrived in Atlanta on June 6, US time.

The Hawks have rested for nearly a week, and the Lakers also got 3 days of precious rest after the Western Conference Finals.

The 09-10 season is finally coming to an end. On the night of G1 of the finals, the entire Philips Center was once again full of seats.

Fans all over the world are focusing their attention on this city with a population of only about 40. Will the Hawks establish their own dynasty in a few days, or will the Los Angeles Lakers make a comeback and climb to the top of the NBA again?

The on-site commentary team sent by Chaotingtai this time is Yu Jia and Zhang Lili. Ruan Erniu came to the gym early to practice shooting, and by the way, he also accepted an interview from Chaotingtai.

"Er Niu, how are you going to defend Kobe tonight?" Yu Jia asked.

Er Niu said with a smile: "We didn't make special arrangements for Kobe's defense. The Lakers' ability to stand out from the West depends on their overall strength.

Kobe is indeed a superstar, but we have to defend the entire Lakers, and I personally have to get Bynum first. "

Zhang Lili asked again: "Aside from training, what else have you been doing in the past week?"

"I watched the Lakers video with my teammates and analyzed their tactical arrangements. In addition, I went to play golf twice with Joe, Josh, and Claw Ji." Ruan Erniu replied.

"Who won?" Yu Jia also laughed.

"It's basically me and Joe, so we are also the ones who treat the most guests!"

There is something in Erniu's words. In fact, the subtext should be that we are rich in playing golf. However, according to political correctness, the imperial court will never interpret this deep meaning.

The battle was imminent, and the leader of the Eagles seemed very relaxed, but Kobe Bryant looked serious during the warm-up half of the Lakers. His broken right hand was always a hidden danger.

All kinds of Comey who ignore the facts are a group of extremely annoying guys, but the guy who black Kobe pretends to be injured is not much better. Any guy who relies on shooting for a living will deliberately tie a white bandage on his index finger on the stage of the finals Come to pretend?
More than two seasons ago, when Erniu first entered the league, Kobe still praised Ruan Erniu, a young player who became famous in UCLA. Even before Gasol joined the Lakers, he even actively recruited him. speech.

But as Er Niu led the Eagles to defeat the Lakers in the finals of the 07-08 season, Kobe never said anything similar again. Object.

What's interesting is that although the two have become mortal enemies in the eyes of the media, in fact, the two do not have much intersection in the league, and there are even very few incidents of confrontation.

If it weren't for the Finals, these two wouldn't even be fighting each other in front of the media.

After the warm-up between the two sides, after the routine pad performance and the national anthem of the United States, the names of the Lakers' starters were called out one by one in the deep voice of the DJ at the Philips Center.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is:

C Andrew Bynum

PF Pau Gasol

SF Ron Artest
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Derek Fisher

On the Lakers' bench, there are Lamar Odom, Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, Luke Walton, Josh Powell and others.

After the Lakers, darkness fell, and the sound of passionate music came. What the audience heard was "MANA" by the German melodic metal band Equilibrium. At the same time, a wonderful clip of the Eagles generals appeared on the big screen.

Lunar eclipse's domineering dunks; Crawford's juggling dribble; Birdman's exaggerated flying celebratory gesture after successfully blocking the block...

Ruan Erniu turned into a giant, and the music reached its first climax. Erniu in the picture stepped on the ground while holding the ball in both hands, causing the earth to crack and cause a terrible earthquake... …

The clip continued, Salmon went to the basket, gliding and pulling the bar successfully; the claw machine intercepted the ball in midfield and made a half-court decisive shot; Jon Jonson swayed to the defender in front of him with a continuous CROSSOVER, and hit a step-back shot...

Accompanied by the melody, people seem to have entered an unknown deep forest. Ruan Erniu walked out of the shadows again, holding the ball in his left hand, hugging his left elbow with his right hand, tilting his head and said arrogantly: "WE're-Dynasty- team!" (We are the dynasty team!)

The gorgeous opening ceremony reminds me of the 07-08 season, when the Celtics did something similar in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Accompanied by the shocking music "Requiem-for-a-Dream" (Requiem for a Dream), the big screen first reviewed the highlights of the previous games, and then the wolf king roared in the middle, shaking the world, the picture continued, and finally Pierce shouted : "let-me-be-hero!"

Two years have passed, and the Eagles have done even better this time, because they directly shouted their slogan-Dynasty team.

Under the modern basketball system, it is difficult to successfully defend the title, let alone three consecutive championships, and the Atlanta Hawks are infinitely close to this great goal.

Afterwards, the DJ at the scene recited the Eagles' substitutes in a passionate voice: Patrick Mills, Sun Yue, Steve Novak, Chris Anderson, Zaza Pachulia, Jamal* Crawford, Mike Bibby.

Then, naturally it was the turn of the main players of the Eagles: Claw Machine, Salmon, Lunar Eclipse, Jiongsen, and Er Niu. Five players played one after another. When Ruan Er Niu, as the absolute core of the team, appeared on the court last, the audience Fans cheered like a tsunami.

The opening ceremony ended, and the main players of both sides came to the court. With the referee Ken Moore throwing the basketball high, the game officially began!
Andrew Bynum is above the two bulls in terms of height and wingspan, but the one who touched basketball first was the Celestial Man with a faster bullet speed.

Dragic got the basketball in the backcourt and advanced halfway with the ball.

Lunar Eclipse raised the cover immediately, but the claw machine flickered, did not use the pick-and-roll, and directly broke into the penalty area from the other side of Fisher.

The overall defense of the Lakers couldn't respond quickly, Gasol was taken away by the lunar eclipse, Bynum was entangled by the two bulls again, Claw machine easily laid up and hit the first goal after the opening.

Fisher dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the ball to Kobe. Kobe then sent the ball to Gasol on the wing.

In the triangle offense system, Gasol's most important role is the fulcrum. His coping ability is far from being reflected by his average assists per game, but this ball...

"Whoosh!"

A white jersey flew high, grabbing the low-post Bynum before intercepting the basketball in the air.

Gasol obviously underestimated Erniu's anticipation and jumping ability. If the ball was replaced by an ordinary inside line, he might have watched Bynum behind him complete the alley-oop dunk, but Ruan Erniu was able to take a step ahead and break the ball. Down the ball.

When Er Niu stole the ball and landed, Bynum was still in the air. By the time An Zhu landed, Er Niu had already held the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt 4VS5, Pau Gasol had to step up to catch Erniu's three-pointer, but the Lakers did not dare to let Ruan Erniu shoot. Countless teams in the league have paid a painful price.

"call!"

Ruan Erniu did not force a shot, but suddenly sent a through pass, the eclipse fell from the sky, and the windmill dunked successfully.

TIME-OUT!

Phil Jackson called a timeout without hesitation. After the opening game, the Hawks entered the game one step ahead of the Lakers on both offense and defense.

In other words, the Hawks' offensive selection was beyond KFC's pre-match arrangement.

Neither Ruan Erniu, the first point of attack for the Eagles, nor Joe Johnson, the second point of attack, became the defending champion's offensive options at the beginning of the game.

On the contrary, Dragic and Josh Smith performed quite eye-catching on the offensive end, which is not good news for the Lakers.

After the timeout ended, Kobe on the Lakers side continued to hold the ball from the outside. Derek Fisher ran back from the flank with the help of Bynum's cover. A 20-foot 2-pointer.

After the poor performance in last year's playoffs, Lao Yu's shooting touch has recovered significantly in the playoffs this year. When facing non-speed guards, with the Lakers' inside advantage, Lao Yu is still a qualified starter.

But unfortunately, what Chairman Yu faced today was the claw machine, and his assault ability was not weak at all.

The Hawks had the ball, and Dragic used Erniu's pick-and-roll from a high position to quickly go down again. An Zhu and Lao Yu ignored the other and rushed to the side of Ruan Erniu on the outside at the same time. As a result, Dragic made a big change of direction. , Go straight to the layup and score two points.

The Hawks' plan for this game was excellent. Woodson guessed from the very beginning that the Lakers would carry out targeted defense against Er Niu and Jon Jonson.

After the opening, whether it was the low-post double-team against Erniu or Artest's tough defense against Jon Jonson, they all proved the egg head's judgment.

However, the Hawks' overall offensive ability is obviously underestimated, or Ruan Erniu's brilliance alone conceals the team's offensive talent.

As long as you don't make too many shots, the current eclipse, which mainly focuses on the interior, can play the absolute core of the interior to any weak team, and even have a chance to score 20+10 data.

If a player like Salmons goes to the right team, he can also become a leader in the team. In fact, he was treated as the core of the team for a while in the Kings.

As for Goran Dragic, this fast-improving second-year guy is the most promising to become a team's core point guard.

At 26:33, the Eagles ended the first quarter with a 7-point lead over their opponents. Dragic scored a quarter-high 11 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds. He was the most impressive player on the court.

At the same time, he and Jiong Jisen also caused two fouls in the first quarter of the old fish who couldn't keep up with the speed, which directly made the chairman of the fish off the court to rest early.

The second quarter started quickly, and as soon as Jamal Crawford came up, he was chased and intercepted by the Lakers.

Vujacic and Shannon Brown rotated to consume Crawford, and Ke 6 didn't find the touch in the finals stage at the first time. After hitting two consecutive irons, the ball was sent to Mike Bibby.

Bibby faced the young Jordan Farmar without any hesitation. Facing Farmar, he forced a breakthrough. Relying on his advantage in physical strength, he carried his opponent into the penalty area, and then faced Luke Wharton's attack. To supplement the defense, he still stepped forward to find a confrontation.

"boom!"

While Bibby was pushed to the ground, he threw the basketball in his hand, but unfortunately missed, but still caused damage to the Lakers.

Watching Bibby play this season, he almost forgot that this old guy still has the ability to break through, but when it came to the finals, the white devil finally showed his ferocious side.

Even though Bibby took the initiative to give Claw Machine the starting lineup this season and made concessions on the contract extension, behind all this is his desire for a championship.

And the Los Angeles Lakers have always been the opponent that the former Kings veteran Bibby is most eager to beat. If it wasn't for the two bulls to stop him, Bibby even wanted to risk his career to end early in the finals of the 07-08 season. lakers.

The toughness of the White Devils is amazing, and some veterans can always show their worth when people are about to forget them.

The Lakers failed to find a bargain during the rotation time. Instead, the Hawks played a wave of 8:2, which once again widened the gap.

After that, the two teams each sent their main players to the field.

Ruan Erniu and Kobe began to increase their offense with the ball, while Gasol and Jon Jonsen also shared the task of the second scoring point very well.

The two sides come and go, each has its own performance, but the score gap between the two teams has not changed much.

At the end of the first half, Jon Jonsen fouled outside the three-point line and made three free throws, and Gasol missed the last shot, the first half of the game officially ended.

50:65, the Lakers did not do too badly on the offensive end, but the Hawks' offensive ability really made it difficult for the Lakers to parry. Ruan Erniu scored 14 points and 12 rebounds in the half, but his points can only be ranked first in the league. The team is third, with 18 points for Claw Machine and 16 points for Jon Jonsen both in front of him.

Not only KFC felt bad, even Ruan Erniu felt a little wrong.

The morale of the teammates is a little high!

If things go on like this, it's really not a big problem for Er Niu to win the three consecutive championships, but the FMVP trophy may not necessarily belong to anyone!

ESPN's commentary seats are Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Brin and Yang Yi, oh, no, it is American Yang Yi-Stephen A* Smith.

Jeff Van Gundy started by saying, "Steven, I know you want to say something about LeBron James, so go ahead." (Steven A. Smith loves Black James.)
American Yang Yi shook his head and said, "No, I want to talk about this game right now, about Kraft Ruan."

Mike Brin on the side smiled and said, "How do you say?"

American Yang Yi said solemnly: "If he wins the third championship trophy in the Atlanta Hawks, then he is very likely to return to big cities like New York and Los Angeles to develop in the future.

If I were the owner of the Eagles, I would definitely trade him away next year, otherwise the team will suffer a heavy loss because of the unconditional loss of its core. "

Mike Brin looked surprised. Looking at A Smith's confident expression, he didn't know if what he said was true or not, but Van Gundy Jr. reacted faster, and immediately asked: "Where did you hear this news? Is there any specific information?" proof?"

Stephen A. Smith said more confidently: "He will definitely do this, because Atlanta is not a city that can maximize his commercial value!"
