Healing Basketball

Chapter 880 880. Best Opponent

After lunch, Liu Xiu came to the airport and left Portland with the team for Chicago.

Liu Xiu recalled it, as if this was the first time in a series without home court advantage.

It's really the first time for a big girl to get on a bridal sedan chair, it's very fresh.

On the 'Rose Bay Prison', Liu Xiu was sitting by the window, reading the newspaper she brought with her when she left this morning.

Feeling elated is his current mood.

Ever since they were beaten 1-1 by the Nuggets in the first round, they have been underestimated by the media. When they beat the Lakers, there are already voices for the next game.

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, public opinion even said that they would be swept by the Suns.

Now, after they swept the Suns, public opinion seems to have returned to last season.

Arriving in Chicago in the evening, Liu Xiu felt the excitement of the finals.

On the highway from the airport, a billboard with slogans such as 'The Return of the Bull Dynasty', 'The End of the Warden', 'The Dream of the Prison Dynasty Broken', etc. appeared from time to time.

The better the grades, the more money Paul Allen spends.

Similar to when he played against the Lakers, he booked a villa hotel in Maywood. He chose this place because there is a large private indoor court for the players to prepare for the game.

Other teams had headaches in away games in the playoffs and were harassed by local fans. His ability to use money saved the team from these troubles.

After arriving in the villa area, Paul Allen was very satisfied seeing the happy faces of the players.

He heard from John Nash that if he wins three consecutive championships, how much will the tickets for next season be increased, how much will the advertising revenue and sponsorship prices be increased, how much will the estimated sales of peripheral products be increased...it will be a headache.

Why is this money getting more and more spent?

When he was suffering from a headache, a warden appeared next to him.

Paul Allen asked, "Jess, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Xiu responded: "It's okay, I just want to find someone to complain about."

Paul Allen is in a good mood now, trying to look like an elder: "You can talk to me if you have concerns. I know you are the leader of the team. You can't talk to your teammates and coaches when you are under pressure, but you can tell me."

Liu Xiu nodded, then sighed, and said, "The way we came here was full of billboards for the Bulls, promoting them and belittling us... It's nice to be rich!"

"????"

Paul Allen's "elderly attitude" could not hold back immediately.

How nice to say that other people are rich in front of him?
Can't stand it!
...

There are benefits to not going to the United Center to prepare for games ... and more.

The training place is near the hotel, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk there at a normal speed, without the need for a boat or a car.

Quiet, safe, reducing the occurrence of accidents.

There are fewer chores such as interviews.

This time, not only Liu Xiu refused to be interviewed, but most of the Trail Blazers players did not want to be disturbed by the outside world.

There have been too many news stories in the past three years. Now that the dynasty has already made its first step, and will take another step to reach the top, everyone's hearts are sinking.

Even if there was restlessness, it was because the people around them calmed down and calmed down.

This is the importance of the environment.

Two days passed in a flash. On June 6, the first match day of the finals arrived. At 6:1 in the morning, the Trail Blazers came to the United Center Arena to prepare for the game.

While waiting for the coach to arrive in the conference room, Liu Xiu said to Randolph on the right: "The opponent is the Bulls, it's really great."

Randolph responded to the left: "That's right, the third championship won from them has a completely different meaning!"

"Yeah, the three dynasty teams, the Celtics, the Lakers, and the Bulls. We have already defeated the Lakers this year. If we beat the Bulls again, we will build a dynasty with two dynasty teams! I want to Know what Jordan is thinking right now."

"He's probably praying to God that we're doing badly."

"But he also probably expected us to win, and he and the Bulls ended up not having a good time."

"It makes sense, he might want to prove that the Bulls won the championship because of him..."

Before Randolph finished speaking, Ray Allen in the middle stood up, ignored the eyes of the crowd, and walked to the side to sit down.

These two guys are so noisy!
Liu Xiu and Randolph looked at each other, smiled and clapped hands.

Forcing the three-point king to leave his 'exclusive position', success!

Ray Allen, who noticed the small movements of the two, couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes.

However, although he felt noisy, he was very excited after hearing what the two said.

Stepping on the Bulls dynasty and establishing a new dynasty... Isn't this his dream when he entered the NBA?
Although the process was far from his dream at the time, but!

He likes the words of the warden very much—"The growth of a person is not a process of realizing dreams, but a process of constantly correcting dreams and working hard for them according to one's own circumstances."

...

On June 2007, 6, at 6:6 p.m., at the Chicago United Center Arena, the player appearance ceremony began immediately.

After the scene lights went down, the big screen was lit up, and a black charcoal head appeared on the screen, roaring, detonating the audience!

Immediately after the players of the visiting team came out, when Liu Xiu ran out with his teammates, he was greeted by wild boos, abuse, and curses from the fans...

When the home team came out, the cheers continued.

After the appearance ceremony, the lights came on, and Liu Xiu looked up at the 6 championship banners swaying with the air-conditioning wind above the court...

The two teams did not exchange pleasantries before the game. Hinrich and Garnett were two of the three current players who in Liu Xiu's impression were most hostile to him.

When he ran out of the player tunnel, he could feel two pairs of knife-like eyes.

The other, is Pierce.

In addition to the bad relationship between Liu Xiu and the opposing dual-core, the relationship between the starting centers of the two teams is also full of hostility.

The top four picks in the 01 class are now known as the "Little Four Centers", named after TNT Sports.

When Liu Xiu heard about this title, she felt that it was not for nothing that TNT's market share was eroded by ESPN. There were too many pitfalls.

Four All-Stars with unstable centers, and four centers...

But it is true that the four have a very bad relationship with each other. The Bulls gave up Eddie Curry earlier and kept Chandler. Even the relationship between these two inside partners who had a good relationship at the beginning is now very bad.

At 6:58, the referee notified the players of both teams to play.

Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen's full blood 'Quick Shot' and Garnett's residual blood 'Roar'.

Before copying, Liu Xiu took a look at the talent of Ben Gordon who had tried to copy.

"Jordan on the bench: when the host comes on as a substitute...; when the host comes on as a starter, it's easy to get into a flustered mood."

Hinrich's talent, he already has a higher-level 'General' buff, which cannot be superimposed... I really didn't expect that Garnett's talent is the best in such a big Bulls team.

After putting on the chalk and high-fiving Ray Allen, Liu Xiu stepped onto the court, and the task came!
