Chapter 215 Before the Finals
Chapter 215 Before the Finals
New York, the largest city in the United States;
Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States;
With the city's specifications here, it is doomed that this will be a series of rounds full of public opinion.
Besides...
The "Lakers OK" combination met as opponents in the Finals for the first time;
The "Huaxia OK" team competed in the finals;
Li Wan will fight the former Lakers again in the finals;
more importantly:
Li Wan and Kobe met in the finals again after 09!
All these gimmicks are full of topicality. As long as they are fans, it is impossible not to discuss the story about this round of the series.
In fact, it's not just the fans who can't help it. David Stern of the NBA headquarters looked at the result and laughed a few times.
I have confirmed with Joke many times about the promotion of this round of finals.
He can be sure that this will be the highest-rated round of the finals since 98.
Beyond the 09 finals is a certainty!
This kind of heat represents an increase in the ability to absorb money for any business alliance...
Of course, as the president, it is impossible for him to only focus on the first and second floors.
From the perspective of the atmosphere, such a gold-absorbing ability means that after the labor agreement expires this summer, the possibility of the league's suspension has been reduced by a few points.
If the huge broadcast contract given by ESPN has changed the possibility of a lockout from 9% to 6% to 7% this summer, then after this round of the series, the possibility of a lockout will be cut in half again, to about 3%...
After all, no one will find some risk factors for the alliance when the alliance's ability to attract money improves, causing some investors to stop and wait and see.
All the bosses want is two words:
make money!
But if development and making money come together, they will definitely choose to develop first, and don't miss the opportunity for development.
The consensus of capitalists is almost the same, except don't put all your eggs in the same basket, that is, leeks need to be raised!
When developing and growing, can the benefits that are discarded be called benefits?
David Stern is well aware of the urine nature of these bosses, so he is very happy!
Because of this, his love for Li Wan and Kobe has risen again.
The encounter between these two guys in the finals is really more exciting than any script he racked his brains...
It seems that there is really no reason to hold it hard!
You have to be yourself!
David Stern couldn't help but think of LeBron James, who broke his heart and put him together last summer.
Do whatever you want, bring down the No. 1 atmosphere of the alliance!
LeBron James doesn't know that he is still being "concerned" by David Stern, otherwise he will definitely feel wronged: No, even if I brought up the "group atmosphere", it is not just this atmosphere that makes people feel wronged. With the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers meeting in the Finals?
It's my problem to co-author with a bad atmosphere, and to bring ratings to the league is because these two people can handle things, right?
This is too bullying "King"!
On June 6, Kobe and the Lakers arrived in New York amidst the discussions throughout the league.
The ultimate battle of the 10~11 season is about to start.
When Kobe was interviewed in the afternoon, when he was asked about his confidence in this round of finals, his eyes showed contemplation.
He thought of June 06, when he was at home watching Shaq O'Neal on TV fighting in the Finals and winning his fourth championship trophy in his career...
He thought of June 09, when Li Wan knocked him down, hit the game-winning shot, and won the first championship trophy in his career...
This is not the first time he thinks of these two moments, and every time he thinks of them, he will always say something in his heart:
If you give me another chance, I must win everything!
Now, he has really entered the finals again, and standing opposite him are Li Wan and Shaq O'Neal!
From the current reports, it can be seen that Shaq O'Neal and Li Wan have become two names that he cannot avoid in his career.At his age, and most importantly, at Shaquille O'Neal's age, this may well be his one-and-done opportunity.
Recasting the glory of the Lakers and defending the prestige of "Mamba", Kobe Bryant...
Obligatory!
Kobe secretly made up his mind.
But he remained silent for a long time, and in the eyes of these reporters, it became another meaning. Although they were surprised, several reporters still wrote in their notebooks:
Kobe...
Persuaded!
They don't want to think so, but this New York Knicks is really too strong. In their opinion, even Michael Jordan has to be vague, and say one more thing: We must win.
Kobe was silent, so normal!
In addition, some reporters feel that Kobe is really old.
Because they had keenly noticed just now that there was a bit of nostalgia in Kobe's expression.
One thing we all know, how can "Snake" be nostalgic?
Nostalgia only for "old people"!
As for why nostalgia, this is also easy to explain...
When I met Shaq O'Neal again, I guess I remembered the high spirits when we won the "three consecutive championships" together!
This is indeed not an achievement that ordinary people can achieve.
Of course, Bryant laughed when he read the reports of wild speculation.
good very good!
He remembered the hanging people!
Just wait and see, when the finals officially arrive, they will know whether the "Black Mamba" is "counseled" or "scared"!
6 month 3 day.
The day of the first series of the finals, which has continued to be "limited" and "limited" again, has finally arrived.
Li Wan was interviewed before the game, and a reporter asked:
"This is already the second time in your career that you have met your former owner, the Lakers, in the Finals. Lee, do you have any special feelings?"
The reporter who asked the question immediately aroused two different reactions: The New York reporter glanced at him very uncomfortably, and you are asking me!Los Angeles reporters implied expectations.
Although the entire Los Angeles media is clamoring for "revenge".
But secretly, who wouldn't hope that Li Wan still had expectations for their "predecessor"?
This is what makes New York reporters unhappy.
Even though they are New York, they can't deny that Los Angeles' attraction to a player is something they all feel afraid of.Therefore, they knew Li Wan's answer to this question.
More or less, there will still be so many "nostalgia" points, right?
But even if he knows that Li Wan has such thoughts, as long as he doesn't say it, New York can pretend that he doesn't know.It can even be generously expressed:
I raise the child!
Ok……
This is the New York Knicks' "dog-licking awareness" of the "goddess"!
To them, Li Wan is more a "goddess" than a "goddess".
Now listening to their "goddess" talk about "the child's biological father", how can they maintain a normal mind...
What if, because of this problem, Li Wan found out that he still likes Los Angeles and goes back to Los Angeles in the future, what should I do!
Damn guy, can you ask questions?
I don't know how to ask questions, would it be okay to eat shit?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they got, they had already decided that if Li Wan really left New York because of Los Angeles in the future, they would definitely prevent this reporter from seeing the sun tomorrow!
No, I can't see the white belly of tomorrow!
"I have a special feeling, but it's not because of Los Angeles..."
However, Li Wan's simple answer made the eyes of these New York reporters light up. At the same time, he looked at the reporter who asked the question, and his eyes were full of kindness and friendliness:
Good question, big reporter!
No wonder your company lets you come on a business trip!
If you ask questions like this, if you don’t come, who will come?
Li Wan let go of Los Angeles.
Before the game even started, they had already received good news!
That's a good sign...
Undoubtedly, the New York Knicks will win tonight!
Li Wan's "unfeeling" answer also made the Los Angeles media more consistent in advocating "revenge".
The West Coast winds brought the smell of gunpowder to New York.
Amidst the counterattack from the New York media, the game time is gradually approaching.
Madison Square Garden is already full of people at this moment. Countless Knicks diehards are gathered here. Some of them have tickets, some of them don’t. Cheers.
In the auditorium in the arena, the management has asked the staff to put a brand new "finals version support uniform" on each seat.
When all the fans put on these "die-hard outfits" in an orderly manner, the auditorium at the scene became a "white ocean".
When Dayao came out of the home team's player tunnel, he was shocked to see this "whiteness".
Usually the Knicks' home atmosphere is already very strong, and tonight made him feel what is called "the love of the Big Apple"!
It is not too much to say "love 105 degrees"...
He couldn't help thinking of the Rockets fans.
I couldn't help but say something in my heart:
Fans are different from fans!
If fans of the Rockets think of themselves as masters, then fans of the New York Knicks really think of themselves as grandchildren!
That kind of fanatical atmosphere is really not comparable to Houston.
And at this moment, it made Dayao feel that the Rockets are also called fans?That's just a few viewers!
Also stunned was Deron Williams of the Lakers.
As a child who came out of Salt Lake City, he may not have seen much in other aspects of the world, but he has always felt that he has a say in the matter of fan fanaticism.
But looking at the madness of the New York fans at this moment, he suddenly felt that the "devil's home court" in Salt Lake City could only be regarded as "the regular season version of the devil's home court".
To be honest, "the devil's home game", in the playoffs, 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 felt that "Salt Lake City" could also be called "the devil"?
The "little devil" played by Fukada, right?
However, when Li Wan came out of the home team's player tunnel, Deron Williams' attention 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 of his phrase "rookies can climb up much faster than you think", until now, Deron is still impressed.Most importantly, he also proved that he was right with his actions.
Speaking of Li Wan in the league right now, he is already compared with the top few perimeter players in the league, and Deron Williams is not among them.
In particular, after he had a conflict with Sloan and was traded by the Jazz, he has been in a period where he needs to prove himself, and no one compares him with 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 their revenge this time in the eyes of the Los Angeles media!
The matchup between him and Li Wan will directly affect the outcome of this round of the series...
Speaking of which, after the All-Star Weekend, the Los Angeles media heard that Kupchak had traded Deron Williams for a negligible price of Odom, and they were overjoyed at that time.
After playing a few regular season games, the Los Angeles media even believed that the current Lakers look like "they got Pau Gasol and didn't trade Li Wan"!
Deron Williams, who can attack with the ball on his own, and can also play pick-and-roll and pass, is like Li Wan in the No. [-] position at that time...
In the eyes of this group of media, this is the "full body" of the Lakers, claiming that "even if the real Li Wan is traded, that's the way it is"...
Otherwise, they dare to shout at the New York Knicks with 72 wins and 10 losses?
They have already been slapped in the face once, and they have no capital, how could they dare to fight again!
However, it is also for this reason that Deron Williams is very unhappy.
Although this rookie is very good, he doesn't want to be a "stand-in" for this guy. In his opinion, as long as he is given a good enough lineup and enough possessions to allow him to play selfishly, he can play well. A more explosive performance than Li Wan.
Ok……
If he wasn't so confident, how dare he kick at Jerry Sloan?
It's just that the "dog eyes" of the Jazz couldn't see his upper limit, so they traded him and disrupted his plan. He could only put away his "do whatever he wanted" character, and lurked for a while, code name: Then it will succeed!
Then, success!
It's just that he didn't expect that such a hibernation would give him the opportunity to fight Li Wan in advance.
In the NBA, there is no bigger stage than the Finals!
He absolutely wanted to prove that he was not a substitute for Li Wan, because Li Wan was not as good as him at all!
He looked at Li Wan, and Kobe's eyes immediately noticed Li Wan who appeared on the stage.
Seeing him with a calm face amidst the cheers of the audience, Kobe couldn't help saying in his heart:
This hanging man is really getting better at pretending!
He really can't wait to give this guy some color!
In addition, it was Shaq and Dayao who caught Kobe's attention in the first place.
The former is the man he has cared about throughout his career, while the latter is the man he longs for but has never been able to get.
And these accounts were placed on Li Wan's head.
Paul Gasol looked at Kobe's eyes "lingering" on the two fifth positions, and secretly muttered:
It's broken, I'm also a stand-in!
Four words describe my state:
He coughed wildly.
I managed to grab Chuanbei loquat syrup in the afternoon, oh my god, this kind of medicine is too difficult to buy now.
