Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 215: Before the Finals

New York, the nation’s largest city;

Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States;

The specifications of the city are here, and it is destined that this will be a series full of public opinion.

Moreover……

The “Lakers OK” group met for the first time as opponents in the Finals;

“Huaxia OK” combination competes in the finals;

Li Wan replays the old main Lakers in the finals;

What’s more:

Li Wan and Kobe Bryant met again in the finals since 09!

This gimmick is full of topicality, as long as you are a fan, it is impossible not to discuss the story of this series.

In fact, fans can’t help it, David Stern of NBA headquarters looked at this result, not knowing how many times he had laughed.

Confirm with jokes many times about the promotion of this round of the finals.

He can be sure that this will be the highest-rated round of finals since ’98.

Surpassing the ’09 Finals is already a sure thing!

Such popularity represents an improvement in the ability to absorb gold for any business alliance…

Of course, as the president, his gaze naturally cannot be only on this first and second layers.

From an atmospheric perspective, such a gold-absorbing capacity represents a little less likely to shut down the alliance after the collective bargaining agreement expires this summer.

If the huge broadcast contract given by ESPN has changed the possibility of suspension this summer from 90% to 60% ~ 70%, then after this round of the series, the possibility of suspension will be reduced by half, to about 30%.

After all, no one will find some risk factors for the alliance when the alliance’s ability to absorb money improves, causing some investors to stop and watch.

All the bosses want is two words:

Make hay!

But if development and making money go hand in hand, they will definitely choose to develop first and don’t miss the opportunity for development.

The consensus of the capitalists is similar, except don’t put eggs in the same basket, that is, leeks need to be raised!

When developing and growing, can the interests that are given up be called benefits?

David Stern knows the urine nature of these bosses, so he’s happy!

As a result, his love for Li Wan and Kobe Bryant rose again.

The meeting of these two guys in the finals was really more exciting than any script he racked his brains to think of…

It seems that hard hold really can’t hold a reason!

You have to fight for your own anger!

David Stern couldn’t help but think of LeBron James, the “proud son of heaven” who broke his heart and put him together last summer.

Why not, bring the first place in the bad alliance atmosphere!

LeBron James doesn’t know that he is still being “worried” by David Stern, otherwise he will definitely feel very aggrieved: No, even if the “huddle atmosphere” is brought up by me, isn’t it this atmosphere that led to the meeting between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals?

It’s my problem to bring bad morals together, and bring ratings to the league, that is, these two people can carry things, right?

This is also too bullying “King”!

On June 2, amid the discussion of the entire league, Bryant arrived in New York with the Lakers.

The ultimate battle of the 10~11 season is about to start.

When Kobe was interviewed in the afternoon, when asked about his confidence in this round of the Finals, his eyes showed contemplation.

He thought of June ’06, when he watched Shaq O’Neill on TV at home fight for the finals and win his fourth career championship…

He thought about June ’09, when Li Wan knocked him down and hit the killer goal to win the first championship trophy of his career…

This is not the first time he thinks of these two moments, and whenever he thinks of it, he will always chant in his heart:

If I can give me another chance, I will win everything!

Now, he has really reached the finals again, and it is Li Wan and Shaq O’Neill who are standing opposite!

From the current reports, it can be seen that Shaq O’Neill and Li Wan have become two names that cannot be avoided in his career. For his age, and most importantly, Shaq O’Neill’s age, this is likely to be his only chance in his life.

Recast the glory of the Lakers, defend the prestige of the “Mamba snake”, he Kobe …

As in duty bound!

Kobe Bryant secretly made up his mind.

But he was silent for a long time, and in the eyes of this group of reporters, it became another meaning, and although he was surprised, several reporters wrote in their notebooks:

Bryant……

Stunned!

They don’t want to think so, but this New York Knicks is really too strong, in their opinion, even Michael Jordan, have to be vague, and again: it must be us who win.

Kobe is silent, it’s so normal!

Other reporters felt that Kobe was really old.

Because just now they keenly noticed that Kobe’s expression was a little nostalgic.

A well-known thing, how can the “snake” be nostalgic?

Only the “old man” will be nostalgic!

As for why nostalgia, this is also a good explanation…

When I met Shaq O’Neill again, I guess I remembered the spirit when I won the “triple championship” together!

This is indeed not an achievement that ordinary people can achieve.

Of course, Bryant laughed when he saw these wild speculation reports.

Good, good!

This gang of murderers, he remembered!

Walk and see, when the finals officially arrive, they will know whether the “Black Mamba” is “instigated” or “afraid”!

June 3.

The heated discussion continued to “increase the limit” and then “increase the limit”, and the day of the first series of the finals finally arrived.

Li Wan was interviewed before the game, and a reporter asked:

“This is the second time in your career that you’ve met your old Lakers in the Finals, Lee, do you feel anything special? ”

The reporter who asked the question immediately caused two different reactions: the New York reporter glanced at him very unpleasantly, you asked your horse! The Los Angeles reporter implied expectations.

While the entire Los Angeles media is clamoring for “revenge.”

But secretly, who doesn’t want Li Wan to have expectations for their “predecessor”?

This is also what makes New York journalists unhappy.

Even if they are New York, they can’t deny that Los Angeles is attractive to a player, which they all fear. Therefore, for this question, Li Wan’s answer is clear to them.

More or less, there will still be so many hundred million points of “nostalgia”, right?

But even if he knows that Li Wan has such thoughts, as long as he does not say it, New York can be regarded as not knowing. It can even be generously stated:

I raise children!

Well……

This is the New York Knicks’ “licking dog consciousness” for the “goddess”!

Li Wan is more “goddess” than “goddess” to them.

At the moment, listening to their “goddess” talking about “the child’s biological father”, how can they maintain a calm mind …

What if, on this issue, let Li Wan find out that he still likes Los Angeles and goes back to Los Angeles in the future!

Damn guys, are you going to ask questions?

I won’t ask questions, will I eat?

The more they thought about it, the more angry they were, they had already decided, if Li Wan really left New York because of Los Angeles in the future, they would definitely let this reporter not see the sun tomorrow!

No, I can’t see tomorrow’s fish belly!

“There are special feelings, but it’s not because of Los Angeles…”

It’s just that Li Wan’s simple answer made the eyes of these New York reporters “poof” light up, and at the same time looked at the reporter who asked the question, and his eyes were also full of kindness and friendliness:

Good question, big reporter!

No wonder your company will let you travel!

So you will ask, if you don’t come, who will come?

Li Wan put down Los Angeles.

Before the competition even started, they had already reaped good news!

That’s a good sign …

Didn’t say, the New York Knicks won tonight!

Li Wan’s “desperate” answer also made the Los Angeles media more consistent in advocating “revenge”.

West coast winds brought this smell of gunsmoke to New York.

Amid the counterattack from the New York media, the time for the game is gradually approaching.

Madison Square Garden is already full of people at this moment, countless Knicks die-hard fans gathered here, some of them have tickets, some do not have tickets, there are tickets to enter the stadium, and no tickets are floating outside the arena to send their own cheers.

In the auditorium, the management has asked the staff to put a new “Grand Final version of the support suit” on each seat.

When all the fans changed into these “diehard clothes” in an orderly manner, the audience seats at the scene also turned into a “white ocean”.

Dayao came out of the main team player tunnel and was also shocked to see this “white” piece.

Usually the Knicks’ home atmosphere is already very strong, and tonight made him feel what is called “love in Big Apple”!

It’s not too much to say “love 105 degrees”…

He couldn’t help but think of the Rockets fans.

I couldn’t help but chant in my heart:

Fans and fans are also different!

If Rockets fans regard themselves as grandfathers, then New York Knicks fans really regard themselves as grandchildren!

That kind of frenetic atmosphere is really not comparable to Houston.

And at this moment, it makes Dayao feel that the Rockets are also called fans? That’s not just a few spectators!

Also stunned was the Lakers’ Delon Williams.

As a kid from Salt Lake City, there may not be many other aspects of the world, but in the matter of fan fanaticism, he has always felt that he has quite a voice.

But at this moment, looking at the crazy look of New York fans, he suddenly felt that the “devil’s home” of Salt Lake City can only be regarded as the “regular season version of the devil’s home”.

Really said “Devil’s home”, entered the playoffs, and the few away games he faced were actually no worse than Salt Lake City in terms of strength.

And now, standing on the stage of the finals, looking at the “die-hard fans” of the New York Knicks in the audience, he even thinks that “Salt Lake City” can also be called “the devil”?

Fukada’s “Little Devil”, right?

However, when Li Wan walked out of the home team player tunnel, Delon Williams’ attention was immediately focused on Li Wan.

This little rookie…

Although this is already Li Wan’s contract year.

But Delong is still used to calling Li Wan that.

Because his phrase “rookie climbs up much faster than you think”, until now, it still impresses Delong. Most importantly, he also proved that he was right.

At present, when it comes to Li Wan, he is already compared with the top outside linemen in the league, and there is no Delon Williams among them.

In particular, after he had a conflict with Sloan and was traded by the Jazz, he has always been in a period where he needs to prove himself, and no one compares him to Li Wan.

Of course, all this changed with the arrival of the finals!

Now he seems to have become the most critical weapon for the Lakers to complete revenge in the eyes of the Los Angeles media!

His confrontation with Li Wan will directly affect the victory or defeat of this series…

Speaking of which, after the All-Star weekend, the Los Angeles media heard that Kupchek had traded Delong Williams for a paltry price of Odom, and they were happy at the time.

After playing a few regular season games, the Los Angeles media even thought that the current Lakers were “got Pau Gasol and did not trade Li Wan”!

Delong Williams, who can attack with the ball by himself and can also block demolition and passes, is like Li Wan in the No. 1 position at that time…

In the eyes of this group of media, this is the “complete body” of the Lakers, claiming that “even if the real Li Wan is traded, it will be like this”…

Otherwise, they dare to shout at the 72-10 New York Knicks?

They have already been slapped in the face once, and they don’t have a little capital, how can they dare to call the battle again!

However, it is also for this reason that Delon Williams is very upset.

Although this rookie is very good, he also does not want to be a “stand-in” for this guy, in his opinion, as long as he is given a good enough lineup and enough ball possession so that he can play selfishly, he can play more vigorously than Li Wan.

Well……

If he wasn’t so confident, would he dare to smack at Jerry Sloane?

It’s just that the “dog eyes” of the Jazz team can’t see his ceiling, trade him, disrupt his plans, and he can only put away his “do whatever he wants” personality, and lurk for a while longer, codename: Zecheng!

Then, done!

It’s just that he didn’t expect that such a dormancy actually gave him the opportunity to fight Li Wan in advance.

There’s no bigger stage in the NBA than the Finals!

He definitely wants to prove that he is not Li Wan’s stand-in, because Li Wan is not as good as him at all!

He looked at Li Wan, and Kobe’s gaze also noticed Li Wan who appeared for the first time.

Looking at him in the cheers of the audience, his face was light and breezy, Kobe couldn’t help but chant in his heart:

This man is really getting better at pretending!

He really can’t wait to give this guy a little color!

In addition, the first time to attract Kobe’s attention were Shaq and Dayao.

The former is the man he cares about for an entire career, and the latter is the man he longs for but never gets.

And these accounts were counted on Li Wan’s head.

Paul Gasol watched Kobe’s gaze “linger” on the bodies of the two number fives, and secretly said in his heart:

It’s broken, I’m also a stand-in!

Four words to describe my state:

Coughing wildly.

In the afternoon, I finally grabbed the Chuanbei loquat syrup, mom, now this kind of medicine is too difficult to buy.
