Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety One Tonight, Lord, Please Conquer the World!
Tourists who wanted to experience New York nightlife tonight saw a strange scene: New York fans wearing Knicks No. 44 uniforms gathered from all directions to Madison Square Garden.
Stores on Fifth Avenue have offered various discounts and preferential measures.
The slogan of one of the luxury stores has attracted many tourists to watch: For every point the Knicks win against the Heat tonight, our store will deduct $100.
Knicks owner James Dolan has mobilized all the forces he can, and the New York media are trying their best to guide public opinion, and various sensational articles emerge in endlessly.
Look, the most eye-catching thing in New York tonight is Madison Square Garden!
In this Eastern Conference decisive battle that started at 8:30 a.m. Beijing time, CCTV did not cause trouble for fans. Snooker, badminton? nonexistent......
Managers of many domestic entertainment stars suggested that they go to Madison Square Garden to watch the ball, and take advantage of Lin Yi's enthusiasm, but tonight...
Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but a ticket is hard to find!
When the Heat arrived at Madison Square Garden, James frowned at the Knicks' replacement court signs.
"One person, one city!"
Wade patted James on the back, "Don't take this to heart, LeBron!"
James nodded. The atmosphere of the entire Heat team is unprecedentedly tense, because Riley knows that the Knicks have home court advantage in this round of the series, so the Heat must find a way to win a game in New York.
But when he saw the list of referees, Riley secretly felt something was wrong.
Joey Crawford.
President David Stern made his position known.
At the same time, it is also reminding Riley: Don't use any brains, don't turn the Eastern Conference Finals into an E.
It's not that Riley has never thought about tricks outside the market. For example, what would happen if the single-core New York lost Lin Yi?
But at least tonight is not a chance to make a move.
...
TNT TV station,
Barkley stood in the commentary booth and said excitedly, "Lin was selected to the first team in his rookie season, and this year, he became the MVP. Now I think people are expecting him to lead the team to defeat the Heat and advance to the finals."
It doesn't matter if you don't understand what the number one Lin Mi Buckley said, it's similar to what Zhang Lili said, that is: Lin Yi is such a dick, do you know that?
On the court, Lin Yibian and Mr. Crawford had a friendly conversation when the players of the two teams entered the field to warm up.
Crawford patted Lin Yi's butt, "Be careful not to get hurt."
Lin Yi smiled, even talking about the story of the Heat and the Knicks for ten days and ten nights would not be enough. If Riley doesn't use his brain, can he still be Riley?
But having said that, Lin Yi wished that Riley could play tricks on him!
Because he is not afraid of injury, as long as the Knicks' thighs are healthy.
Lin Yi really wanted to tell Riley, come at me for stepping and elbowing!
Fortunately, Riley would not communicate with Lin Yi, otherwise he would definitely feel that Lin Yi has a tendency to be abused.
In fact, in the era of social media, Lin Yi is really not afraid of recruiting outside the market. Healing body protection, isn't that just a chance for the Knicks to attract fans?
At the end of the warm-up, Lin Yi glanced at the commentary booth and looked at the little Van Gundy sitting on the commentary booth. Lin Yi thought to himself, would the righteous Van Gundy still have a chance to come out to fight?
The Knicks have already sent an invitation to Van Gundy Jr., hoping that he can become D'Antoni's assistant coach. For this invitation, Jr. Van Gundy seemed a little hesitant.
You know, when the Knicks enter the Eastern Conference Finals this time, Van Gundy Jr. is really in a complicated mood.
...
Tonight's Madison Square Garden is full of stars. Many American stars and celebrities make their homes in New York. This year's Eastern Conference Finals has attracted the attention of all parties. There are too many topics about the Heat's Big Three and the single-core Knicks.
During the entrance ceremony of the players from both sides, the atmosphere on the scene had already ignited. The Heat players were booed all over the sky, and when Lin Yi came out... the commentators and reporters who commented on the scene were wearing Earplugs prepared in advance.
So much so that when Kenny Smith wanted to remind Barkley that Taylor Swift would sing the American national anthem tonight, Barkley didn't hear it.
The friendly support of "Big Taylor" was pre-booked with the help of Lin Yi. It is worth mentioning that the 12-year-old "Big Taylor" once sang the American national anthem in an NBA game.
Of course, Lin Yi wouldn't sing along with the American national anthem. He silently sang the March of the Volunteers in his heart, but why did Lin Yi feel that someone was singing this song in his ears?
After Swift led the singing, she took a microphone and looked around the fans, "I am very happy to be invited by the Knicks today. I want to invite everyone to watch a 14-minute short film before the game starts."
"To be honest, I watched this film yesterday, and I was deeply moved. The reason why I am moved is because without this documentary directed by Spike Lee, we will take many things for granted." Swift Te finally looked at Lin Yi, and the fans at the scene seemed to understand something, and began to quiet down.
After completing the task, Swift slowly walked back to the seat beside the court. "Sister Widow" was very angry that she didn't have the voice of "Big Mildew"...
On the Heat's bench, James and Wade looked at each other. The young Schneider wished that the seasoned Riley was by his side at this moment. What is the Knicks trying to do?
Curry, Cousins, DeRozan, Favors, Wall, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian are all looking forward to this special opening ceremony of the Knicks.
Unknowingly, Lin Yi's friend camp continued to expand.
The lights at the scene suddenly went out, and then the projection and the big screen started to play the documentary together.
At the beginning, there was a speech between Curry and McCropp, "We all like superheroes, and we have also said that only legends surpass legends."
The fans at the scene were all overjoyed. Could it be Lin Yi's super-burning, cool, tyrannical, and tyrannical highlights?
It's not...
A similar accompaniment sounded, and what appeared in people's eyes was the scene of Lin Yi striking iron again and again in the competition.
It was his weakness, his depression.
Immediately afterwards, it was O'Neal's running in training, and the Knicks' hard training under the joy of the whole team...
And Lin Yi applied an ice pack, fighting with injuries again and again.
"Shaq, what is your dream?"
"champion."
"Then let's go together!"
When Lin Yi and O'Neal held hands tightly, the style of the documentary changed, and it became the busy work of every Knicks professional player, as well as the fans who supported the Knicks day and night...
Olsen and the young New York fan made the most trips.
The documentary concluded with a wrap-up by Knicks owner James Dolan.
"One person guards a city, and a city bids farewell to a person."
James Dolan stood up and bowed at the end, "Thank you to every Knicks fan. Obviously, Lin is not a basketball god."
"He's just our Lin."
"Lin guarding the Knicks."
At Lin Yi's suggestion, this documentary, which originally focused on Lin Yi's personality, was changed to highlight the whole team.
Because Lin Yi knew that the Knicks' success today was not due to him alone.
Maybe when he retires, he will make a documentary of his own, but now, the whole team should be united.
This documentary doesn't have any over-the-top highlights, but only Lin Yi's powerlessness, the silent support of his teammates, and the coordinated operations of the entire Knicks team behind the scenes.
Moreover, at the end of the documentary, James Dolan officially apologized to Ewing, one of the four major centers, "Patrick, I'm sorry, we failed you, but now, we need your support!"
The moment the documentary ended, the close-up shots of the scene showed Ewing in a suit, and Oakley, who had been banned from entering Madison to watch the game by Dolan...
Perhaps Oakley had spoken harshly to Lin Yi before, but it was no longer important at this moment.
Because Dolan hopes to use this to change the stars' impression of the Knicks, Dolan knows very well that in order to keep Lin Yi in the future, the Knicks need more than just money...
It's a sense of belonging.
Van Gundy Jr. in the commentary also stood up and hugged the Knicks players who had created the miracle of the Black Eight in the past.
Dolan's "guilty edict" is not shameful, and New York fans don't need to feel guilty. Time has already let Ewing let go of his grudges. Maybe "Gorilla" is not good at words, maybe Oakley is prone to brain twitches, but this is not true. Get in the way of their support for the Knicks tonight.
Stern, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was extremely moved. After winning the MVP, Lin Yi no longer needed to praise him, but he could see New York reunited with Ewing, Oakley and others. This kind of harmony Progressing together is what Stern wants to see most.
The future Warriors have also invited players who have created the Black Eight miracles to come to Oracle Stadium. In fact, these celebrities who always like to jump out and make speeches just hope that people will remember their contributions.
Lin Yi convinced Dolan. Of course, Dolan knows how to weigh the pros and cons. This is the best opportunity to completely change the Knicks' impression of those stars.
Ewing burst into tears. After embracing Lin Yi with no regrets, he took the microphone handed over by the host, "What I couldn't do before, Lin, I hope you can do it!"
Tonight, please fight to determine the country!
The fans at Madison Square Garden gave a standing ovation. When the cheers of the MVP resounded throughout the East Coast, the cheers were not only for Ewing, but also for Lin Yi, and at the same time, for the entire New York Knicks.
"MVP—————!"
"MVP—————!"
"MVP—————!"
At this moment, the Knicks really put on the coat of a superhero.
Come on, villain Heat!
