NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 682 Shocking fare, help the master to poison

The finals of the East and West divisions have ended, and the two opponents of the finals have also been finalized.

This year, the warring parties have changed, becoming the Cavaliers VS Trail Blazers.

But strictly speaking, the two protagonists are actually the same as last year's Yimao, and they are still James and Wang Zelin, the two top two super giants in active service.

As the fans discussed on social media, the second match between the two in the finals has a lot to watch.

Can the son of Akron, who returned to Cleveland after four years of college with the Heat, bring the city of Cleveland the first championship in history, and then further consolidate its No.1 position in the league;

Can Wang Zelin defeat James again with his own hands and become the new No.1 in the league in one fell swoop;
Can the Trail Blazers achieve the title defense, and then look forward to the dynasty;
It even includes whether Cousins ​​can prove himself in a direct matchup with Wang Zelin;

There are obviously more highlights, gimmicks, and aroused topics in this year's finals than the Eastern and Western Conference finals.

Fans can't wait, but there are still three days before the start of the finals.

The season is drawing to a close, and the gaps between games are getting longer.

The time is not short, but there are many things to watch on the offseason. While the players of both sides seized the time to rest and train, they did not forget to talk to each other in front of the media, and entered the pre-match talk that fans love to hear.

The major TV stations have not been idle in the past few days, organizing a group of authoritative experts every day to make round after round of predictions on the upcoming finals.

Today they firmly say that the Blazers will win, and tomorrow they can immediately change their words and say that the Cavaliers will win.

Through this way of slapping themselves, they quickly gained attention and attracted attention.

Facts have proved that their choice is correct.

After rounds of frantic warm-ups, ticket prices skyrocketed during the finals, successfully hitting a record high.

On June 6, ESPN reported:

The Portland Trail Blazers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers is undoubtedly a highly anticipated round of finals. The first match between the two sides will be held at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland in one day, and the second-hand market ticket price of this game has set a new high in the history of the finals!

According to data from the Trail Blazers official second-hand ticket website:
The average price of G1 in the finals reached 1058 yuan, while another ticket-seeking website showed it as 1653 yuan.That ticket price is almost 1000 gold more than the ticket price for Game [-] of the NBA Finals in the past five years.

What is even more shocking is that the second-hand ticket price of the front row ticket for this game has been fired up to 58000 yuan, which is equivalent to about 360000 yuan!
It is reported that the G1 Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Heat last year was also held at the Rose Garden Arena. At that time, the average second-hand ticket price was only 620 yuan.

再往前推，2012年热火与雷霆的总决赛G1，平均票价为655米元；2011年热火和小牛的总决赛G1，平均票价为458米元。

Since the number of tickets in the second-hand market this year is significantly less than in the past, and the finals will officially kick off tomorrow, ticket prices are expected to only rise, not fall!

In the past few days, the management of the Blazers belongs to Qin Shihuang who eats peppercorns—— Ying Ma!

At this time, TNT TV station also ran out to join in the fun.

They invited Wang Zelin and Jordan at the same time in the program before the finals!

Since the last time he was invited to a TNT show, Jordan seemed to be a bit addicted, and Wang Zelin couldn't refuse the kind invitations from Fliggy and Shark.

In any case, the former can change from the old Wang Hei to the number one Wang Mi, and the latter has been optimistic about himself since the beginning of entering the alliance, so he still has to give him the face he deserves.

What's more, he still has time to record a show.

The topic of this episode is naturally the upcoming finals!
"I believe that I can defend the title and complete the season's Grand Slam honors. To be precise, I think he can do what Shaquille and I did—three consecutive championships!"

When O'Neal asked about his views on the upcoming finals, Jordan chose to support Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers without even thinking about it, and by the way, he did not forget to praise O'Neal from the side.

Of course, as long as the subtle relationship between Jordan and James is combined, it is not difficult to understand why Jordan publicly supported the Blazers to win the championship.

Going back, when James made the decision 2010 to "bring talent to the South Coast" in 1.0, Jordan publicly expressed his disappointment, saying:

"I never called Magic or Bird and said, 'Let's win the championship together.' All I thought about was how to beat the opponent."

Even after James won his first career championship in 2012, when asked who to choose between Kobe and James as the cornerstone of the team, Jordan firmly chose the former.

Including some follow-up events, such as Jordan nodded in agreement, produced "The Last Dance" on the day of the Cavaliers' championship parade in 2016, and when he went to the training camp to interact with young fans in 2017, Jordan once said the famous "5 is greater than 3" theory.

Later, someone once delved into the complicated relationship between the three of Joe Kojan.As a junior, Kobe’s admiration for Jordan goes without saying. Jordan also admires Kobe, because Kobe is indeed more like Jordan than James, whether it is his style of play or his paranoia and desire for victory.

The friendship between Kobe and James is also very good, because both of them have witnessed each other's peak period and cherish each other.

But only the relationship between Jordan and James is very delicate.

It may be because James has changed his family many times, which is a rebellious move in the eyes of Jordan's old-school stars;

It may be because James offended Jordan by calling himself "GOAT" after leading the Cavaliers to win the championship in 16.

It may also be due to the constant media hype and the active participation of fans. The discussion about who is "No. 1 in NBA history" between Jordan and James has intensified, so that many active NBA stars and retired celebrities have been coerced into it.

It is undeniable that under the influence of multiple factors, the relationship between the two parties has gradually become more delicate. After all, people fight for breath, and Buddha fights for incense!

"Cough cough..."

Gang leader Qiao made a big move when he came up, causing Wang Zelin to cough for a while, and he once again deeply felt the overt or secret rivalry between the two No. 23s.

There is one thing to say, Wang Zelin never cared about the so-called "GOAT" dispute between Jordan and James.

Because he also has his own arrogance in his heart!

To put it bluntly, after he came to this world with a cheat, he firmly believed that as long as he was given time, he would be able to surpass everyone!

The so-called "GOAT" is just a joke in his eyes.

Of course, before he has accumulated enough convincing honors, he is very clear that he still needs a period of development.

You must not be like James, who just won the third championship and called himself "GOAT" when he was not a dynasty, it would be a joke.

Even if he wants to shout the No.1 slogan, at least he has to defend his title this year and make persistent efforts next year to officially establish a three-peat championship dynasty. It's not too late to shout it out!

On the other hand, Chief Qiao's eyesight is a famous "poisonous milk". Wang Zelin didn't want to be sucked to death by his poisonous mouthful, and died before he left the school.

Therefore, he hastily interrupted Jordan's speech.

"Ahem, in fact, LeBron and the Cavaliers are still very strong. I think it will be very difficult for us to win!"

After Wang Zelin coughed, he frantically gave Jordan a hint.

"No, no, no, I know your dominance over the game very well. You have a heart to fight for victory, just like I did back then."

However, Wang Zelin's eyes seemed to be thrown to a blind man. Jordan seemed to be completely unaware of Wang Zelin's subconscious, and he was still sitting on his seat with his legs crossed and bragging.

Wang Zelin was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"We haven't found a defensive strategy to limit LeBron yet!"

He could only grit his teeth and continue to add.

"It's okay, the Cavaliers can't restrain you, and controlling the basket is controlling the whole court. I believe you can do it!"

Jordan went on to say, with a honeyed confidence in Wang Zelin's strength showing on his face.

Wang Zelin was completely speechless, the master not only wanted to poison, but also specially increased the dose!

God, can you let me go?

At worst, I will ask you to be No.1 in history for a few more years!
"???"

Gang Leader Qiao: "Among the colorful clouds of Chaoci Baidi, the coin is beside me! Sitting up in shock while dying, the clown is actually myself!

……

"Hahahaha!"

Barkley and O'Neill on the side laughed and gloated.

The TV station paid huge sums of money to invite Jordan and Wang Zelin to come, isn't it just for the effect of this program!
Now I know with my toes, the ratings of TNT's TV station will definitely explode again.

This wave is not bad!
