knife point guard

Chapter 211 [Yao Ming explains the finals]

Larry Bird arrives in Los Angeles ahead of Game [-] of the Finals.

When he saw Su Xi, he gave Su Xi a big hug. He had not been so excited for a long, long time.

The fact that the Pacers got the match point meant for Bird that he had achieved the most perfect and complete achievement of his career: many people are invincible when they are playing, but it is ordinary as a head coach, and it is even worse as a manager.But Bird has now proven himself in all three aspects.

When he was playing, he was a champion.When he was the head coach, he led the team to the finals.Now as a manager, he acquired Su Xi through transactions and brought the team to the finals, only one step away from the championship.

Su Xi is also very happy. Bird's arrival has brought him only one step away from the 'super distance talent'.

Nowadays, Susi already has Isiah Thomas's super low center of gravity talent for holding the ball, Gary Payton's super entangled defensive talent, and Magic Johnson's super space talent.If he gets Bird's talent again, Su Xi feels that if he doesn't hit the best in history, he will be sorry for these ancient gods who were surpassed by Jordan and the backcourt elites who have been suppressed by Jordan all their lives.

Of course, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time.Looking up at the stars is a good thing, but if you aim too high and take too big a step, you can easily get hurt.

Not only did Larry Bird come to Los Angeles, but so did David Stern and the championship trophy.After the Pacers get the match point, they may win the championship in any next game.

Rick Carlisle and the coaching staff do not want to extend the battle, and it is best to end the battle in Los Angeles.

...

2004 6 Month 15 Day.

The highly anticipated fifth game of the Finals has arrived.

Staples Arena was packed with people, and the TV media broadcast signals were cut in early.

Not just North America, Asia is also crazy.

Su Xi's great achievements in the NBA made fans in Asia, especially Chinese fans, particularly excited, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

Yao Ming walked into the CCTV live broadcast room today. He and two TV commentators explained the game for the national audience.

Yao Ming showed his eloquence, as well as his professional basketball knowledge and some personal experience.

"If the NBA is a pyramid, Su Xi's current court strength is almost at the top of the pyramid, and his influence has reached this level. He is not only very popular in China, but also in the United States, there are very, very many people who pursue him. A lot. He's very charismatic and you see him on TV a lot."

"If the Pacers win the championship under his leadership, he will become the first Asian guard in history to win a championship, the first Asian guard in history to win the Finals MVP, and the first Asian guard in history to win the Finals MVP. The last two players to win the Finals MVP in their rookie season was Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson has a very good relationship with Su Xi. The last time we met, he told Su Xi that he taught many passes. At that time, he probably didn’t expect that Su Xi would become an opponent of his home team, the Lakers.”

"The Pacers are a strong team in themselves, and the addition of Suhi makes them even more powerful. Now the United States also likes to say that Suxi gave wings to the tigers, and the Pacers became invincible."

"Su Xi's physical confrontation ability is very strong. Our players privately said that he is the strongest player among all NBA guards."

"In the last game, he played almost the entire game. As long as he can continue the playing time in this game, overall, I am optimistic that they will win."

Yao Ming finally said, "If Su Xi can join our national team, we will have a great chance this year."

"Su Xi's physical confrontation is enough to make every opponent complain in the international arena. The FIBA ​​system is more suitable for his style of play."

"He really wants to play for the country. I have talked with him."

"I also hope to fight alongside him..."

Yao Ming originally wanted to continue talking about this topic, but CCTV was in a special situation after all. Their director stopped the discussion through the headset and asked them to focus on explaining the game itself.

Then, talk started about the starting lineup for the game.

But for the fans and viewers in front of the TV, they want to continue listening.Why does Su Xi want to join the national team, but there are still people who stop her?Is there any defender in the country who is more awesome than him?Su Xi is about to win a championship in the NBA. Since he wants to come back, we should quickly invite him to join the team!

When can the men's basketball team reach the semi-finals? Don't always go back and forth in the group stage. The top eight should not be the focus, the medal should be the destination.

"There were a lot of boos from Lakers fans at the beginning."

"This is rare. When we go to Los Angeles to play games, the Lakers fans are lazy, talking and laughing. They are very arrogant and usually don't take their opponents seriously. They think that the OK combination can handle everything, and they also have a lot of talent. What kind of ups and downs has this glorious history not experienced?”

"There are many celebrities on the sidelines. Watching Lakers games is also a relatively fashionable thing in Hollywood. Staples Arena is a branch venue of the Walk of Fame. There is a saying in the NBA."

"However, Su Xi is very famous in this area. My teammates often ask me why I didn't learn a little bit..." Yao Ming gushed. Strictly speaking, he is only one grade higher than Su Xi. Although he is older There is a big difference, but they can be regarded as stars of the same generation.

The Lakers' starting lineup tonight is: O'Neal, Medvedenko, Devin George, Kobe Bryant, and Gary Payton.

Pacers starting lineup: Batty, O'Neal Jr., Miller, Artest, Suhi.

Batty performed very well in the last game and was promoted to the starting center in this game.

beep!

The whistle sounded and O'Neal swatted the basketball toward Gary Payton.

Payton grabbed the basketball, and as soon as he took a step forward, Su Xi quickly stuck to it, gave him a strong confrontation while he wasn't paying attention, and knocked the basketball down with his long arm.

The opening kickoff was a steal.

Yao Ming said with a smile in the live broadcast room on the other side of the ocean: "This is a master-disciple duel. The whole league knows that Su Xi learned his defense from Gary Payton, and their defensive methods are almost the same. Gary Payton is often on TV Bragging, Su Xi is his favorite disciple. But judging from the current situation, the more talented are better than the talented."

Gary Payton goes after Suzy.

Su Xi accelerated his breakthrough and reached the basket. Medvedenko rushed over to try to block the shot, but Su Xi pushed it away in the air and hit the basketball into the basket with his left hand.

"This is Su Xi's power. When this guy comes up and hits you, it's like being hit by a car. I don't like guarding him. Among the rookies, there are him, Anthony, and James, three power monsters. 2003 There were a lot of talented monsters."

Yao Ming's explanation made the audience in front of the TV mesmerized.

This is first-hand news.

In addition to yelling a few words, the commentators basically followed the script, as if they were reading an instruction manual.

The game continued and Kobe hit Artest with his back.When he turned around and reached the paint area, he passed the basketball to O'Neal, who completed a dunk.

"If Kobe keeps playing like this, it will be very difficult for the Pacers to win. However, if Kobe keeps playing like this, he will no longer be Kobe."

Yao Ming said sharply.

He also talked about some gossip: "When Su Xi first went to the Pacers, many players in the league said that Su Xi would definitely be dealt with by Artest, because Artest is a thorn and the Pacers are his territory. But no After a while, Artest was convinced and he completely obeyed Su Xi's leadership.

"This shows that Su Xi still has two skills. The NBA locker room is complicated. Everyone is a millionaire and a multi-millionaire. They are all very attractive. Who will listen to whom?"

Yao Ming was chatting and explaining the game.

The two sides were going back and forth, and the fight was quite tense.

The Lakers, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff, put in an outstanding performance. The OK team was like a family. They each had strong performances and interacted frequently.

But even so, the Lakers still failed to take the lead.

Because the Pacers have become a team, under the leadership of Su Xi, the whole team works hard and outputs more points.No one can do anything to anyone.

The Lakers were very much expecting Su Xi to take a rest after playing 7 minutes at the beginning, but Su Xi did not have it tonight. He played the entire first quarter and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the last minute.

This three-pointer was purely thrown out casually.

Its hit shows that Su Xi is very lucky tonight.

This also gave the Pacers a 2-point lead.

"If we continue to play at this pace, the Lakers will lose the game. The Pacers are more resilient than the Lakers, and their lineup is very deep. It will be difficult for the Lakers to find a third point outside of the OK combination."

Yao Ming told the Chinese fans on TV: "Today we are going to witness a historical moment in Chinese basketball."

This made the audience in front of the TV very looking forward to and excited.

After the start of the second quarter, O'Neal had an explosion. He continuously caused damage in the penalty area and once helped the Lakers gain a 6-point lead.

At this time, Su Xi's hand just felt cold.

But he quickly adjusted his direction and frequently assisted.O'Neal Jr. and Reggie Miller stepped forward, O'Neal was brutal, and Miller made a cold-blooded three-pointer.

The Pacers' disadvantage was recovered.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers only led by 1 point.

At this time, people can clearly see the fatigue on O'Neal.

"O'Neal doesn't train very much, and he doesn't deliberately manage his weight. He's a little lazy, but it's not entirely because of laziness. For a giant like him, too much training will increase the frequency of injuries. Like him, he has maintained his peak for so long. The state is actually very difficult. He entered the league in 92, and it has been almost 12 years now."

Yao Ming said.

It's rare for a giant center in the NBA to play for 12 years, and it's even more unprecedented to be able to maintain dominance like O'Neal.

Yao Ming is now a little worried that he may not be able to play for 12 years.

CCTV footage clearly captured the scene when Su Xi was leaving the game. A beautiful woman stood up, took Su Xi's hand, and asked her to sign it on her back.

"This is Anne Hathaway, a very famous female star in the United States. Su Xi has a good reputation as a female star..."

CCTV cut the commercial.

Although in the United States, everyone says that Suzy the Sheep is a playboy.

But on domestic TV stations, Su Xi is a simple and honest young man.

No mainstream media reported Su Xi's messy gossip news, although the Internet was full of jokes and jokes.But mainstream TV stations...how can they report on this mess?

During CCTV’s advertising time, there are a total of 13 commercials during intermission.

Suzy has five ads.

A mobile communication.

A Nike.

A Pepsi.

A global fast food brand.

There is also a domestic drink selection.

If it weren't for the fear of viewers' visual fatigue, Su Xi's advertisers could fill up all 13 ads.

Currently, Su Xi is the dominant player in the domestic sports market. His business resources exceed those of Yao Ming. He is coming from behind.

Just like Su Xi's status in the NBA has surpassed Yao Ming.

Although Yao Ming was born as the No. [-] pick, he is a center after all, and he has never become a leader in the Rockets.Su Xi plays the most popular defender among fans and audiences. In addition, his strength continues to rise. He has won many tough battles and is very popular. Now he has reached the finals.Most importantly, he looks handsome.

Can the commercial value not be high?
The commercial ended and the second half of the game began.

Both sides are starting lineups in the first quarter.

Su Xi made a smart move without the ball on the first ball. He ran to the bottom corner and ran out of space. He received a pass from O'Neal. Kobe quickly flew over. He passed the ball in again and Artest received it. The basketball rushed into the basket and was passed to Tony Barty. Barty jumped up and wanted to dunk.

Unexpectedly, O'Neal flew over and knocked him to the ground.

At that time, Barty was holding his lower abdomen and arms in a cold sweat.

Slow-motion replay showed that when he landed, his left hand touched the floor and his joints were obviously twisted.

"Tony Barty's handling was a bit wrong. When I entered the NBA, the first thing my coach told me was that when I was knocked down, I must fall down and never use my hands to support the ground. How strong O'Neal is!"

The referee stopped the game and the Pacers' team doctor went up to check him.

Then he helped him out.

Before Tony Barty walked out of the field, he went to Su Xi and whispered a few words.

Su Xi patted him on the back.

"Tony Barty is the favorite bodyguard of domestic teams, right? He followed Su Xi all the way from Cleveland, and even bought out his contract in the process. He is a very loyal person, and he also knows that domestic fans named him Hu Su. Bao. He also asked me what it meant, and I told him it meant the bodyguard to protect Su Xi. He was very happy."

Yao Ming told another little secret.

The fans in front of the TV found it very interesting.It turns out that they all know the nicknames given to them by domestic fans.

At the same time, I also wish Tony Batty well and hope that Hu Su Bao will be fine.

He took the most credit in these two games and defended O'Neal very successfully.

The Pacers replaced Foster.

Tony Barty's departure won't be a big loss to the Pacers.

It will not affect the balance of victory and defeat.

Foster replaced Tony Barty and made one of two free throws.
