Chapter 1234 1233. Lakers' lineup change (610 for double monthly tickets)
"Imperial Court TV, Imperial Court TV..."
"Welcome everyone to watch ESPN..."
"This is brought to you by T.N.T Sports Channel..."
"Basketball Live Channel 1, American Cable Sports Channel brings you today..."
"..."
Several TV stations in China and North America broadcast this game live. In addition, hundreds of countries around the world broadcast this finals live.
Due to the World Cup, basketball attention in most countries in the world has decreased a lot, but in the United States, the world's largest economy, and China, the world's most populous country, the NBA Finals is the mainstream!
Before the game started, Kobe started the mode of being an enemy of his opponent again. He ignored anyone from the Hawks. No matter who he played in the finals, it was like this in the five finals.
On the other hand, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi were on the sidelines of the Hawks, and reporters were still taking pictures.
After the game started, they really fought, but before the game started, they still had to pretend to let the domestic fans see their "friendship". The commentator of the court station, I don't know whether he wanted to say that, or was instructed by the station or the country, but he pulled out a strange saying of "national sentiment first, game second" to describe this finals.
Not to mention, Kobe, who seemed out of tune with others, once again won the love of a wave of domestic fans at this time.
Most people don't like to be mavericks, and they say they hate mavericks, but they are more likely to like mavericks.
When the main camera moved the lens to the celebrities, active stars, some entertainment industry people, celebrities, and American politicians on the sidelines, Liu Mang and Yao Ming's expressions finally relaxed after they were almost frozen with laughter.
Yao Ming said to Liu Mang: "This time I finally stand here and fight with you, Ace."
"Yes, it feels great to play in the finals with you, Yao." Liu Mang has been waiting for this day.
He didn't continue talking, mainly because Yao Ming turned around and left after saying this. If he continued talking, he felt that Liu Mang would definitely say something that would make him vomit blood.
Liu Mang didn't want to provoke Yao Ming. Yao Ming has a good mentality and is very stable. It is difficult to provoke him. His target is the cool No. 8 player on the opposite side.
But that guy didn't come today. Liu Mang couldn't go to provoke him. As a two-time MVP and two-time Finals MVP, Liu Mang didn't take the initiative to provoke a rookie who didn't have any MVP, not even a Rookie Game MVP.
The atmosphere before the first game of this finals was unusually peaceful...
It was so peaceful that Liu Mang felt weird.
Similarly, the Lakers also felt strange, a feeling of impending storm...
...
"The most important moment has come. We have fought for a year and now it is the most critical moment. We must win this year! We must be like Michael Jordan, Scott Pippen, Randy Brown, Dennis Rodman, Luke Longley, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr... like them, leaving our most glorious moments in the NBA and winning three consecutive championships!" Before the game, Liu Mang counted the names of the second dynasty of the Bulls one by one to inspire the morale of his teammates.
The three consecutive championships are just around the corner, and Liu Mang can easily boost the morale of his teammates.
If the Hawks win three consecutive championships, it will not only be Liu Mang and four big stars, McGrady, Kwame Brown, and Jason Terry, who will be recorded in NBA history, but others will also leave their names and be remembered by many people. This is the key to Liu Mang's easy motivation of his teammates.
Like Luke Longley, Randy Brown, even Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr and others, if they only won one or two championships, even two consecutive championships, it is estimated that not many people will remember them in a few years.
But they are members of the dynasty! That's very different. Ten or twenty years later, when people mention the Bulls dynasty, they still talk about their performance with relish. This is the difference between dynasty teams and other championship teams!
Especially in this era of increasingly advanced technology, all news and stories will leave indelible traces on the Internet.
And even if this is put aside, the Hawks players also want to win the championship again. It would be too shameful if they don't win the championship with 73 wins, and it will be a lifetime of black history!
On the Lakers side, Fisher, as the Lakers captain, was also mobilizing the enthusiasm of his teammates. The chairman of the players' union did a good job of fooling people. Just like in the future, when Fisher made concessions in labor-management negotiations and was not scolded, and the head of the 58th Regiment made similar concessions in labor-management negotiations, the former was praised and the latter was criticized. Fisher has learned the true teachings of Zen Master...
...
At 7:58 in the evening, there were still two minutes before the game started. Prince came to his own free throw line and began to guide the enthusiasm of the fans with his graceful dance. The fans watched Prince swaying his body with the dimming lights and began to cheer wildly.
Kobe on the opposite side couldn't help but spit. He thought that the dancers were all bastards!
A pole dancer targeted him all day long, a dancer in the Pure Land of Bliss took away many of his youngest records, and now this "NBA court dance" dancer defended him very well, and he felt disgusted by them all!
After the lights went completely dark, the big screen lit up, and Rasheed Wallace's increasingly rough face appeared on the big screen, and he let out a roar!
Garnett, who was on the sidelines, looked at the scene and always felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity... He had never done such a thing, but he felt that the face on the screen would be much more handsome if it was replaced by himself...
But joining a team that can win the championship without him, Garnett couldn't bear that face...
With Rasheed Wallace's roar, the scene was completely detonated!
The lights came on, Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, and listened to the system prompt that the devil's home court had no great effect on the Lakers. Liu Mang was used to it, just like the Salt Lake City devil's home court was only effective when it was bullying the weak, and their devil's home court was the same.
The starting lineups of the two teams came on the court!
The Hawks sent out Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.
On the Lakers side, in the finals, as expected, the lineup changed!
Fisher, Kobe, Odom, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming's lineup appeared!
The Lakers sent out a lineup of three tall players!
And they are three "centers" with shooting ability!
When playing against the Mavericks, the Lakers sent out such a lineup!
Looking at the Lakers' lineup with an average height of nearly 2.1 meters, Liu Mang felt very weird...
