"Ladies and gentlemen, please applaud and welcome the NBA 2012-2013 season champion Lakers!"

"OHH!" The cheers suddenly resounded throughout the arena, the surrounding lights dimmed, and the brightest beam of light focused on the front of the player tunnel. Li Yue ran out first, followed by Gasol, Nash and others, and the audience stood up and applauded.

Li Yue went straight to the technical stage and stood still, applauding along with the fans. The DJ shouted loudly: "The following is the Lakers championship ring awarding ceremony. NBA President David Stern is invited to come on stage."

"Oh oh oh!" The cheers sounded again, and the brightest beam of light shifted to the other end of the court. David Stern smiled and waved to the audience, and walked slowly towards the middle circle. O'Brien Trophy.

"Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, you have gone through a lot of difficulties in the past season...you have the best fans in the world...hope you continue to achieve good results in the new season...thank you!"

Speech eloquently for 2 minutes, Stern announced that the championship ring awards ceremony has officially started, and the DJ shouted loudly: "Please invite former Lakers champion members Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Irvin Johnson, James Worthy ..."

Amidst the cheers of the audience, many celebrities of the Lakers came out from the direction of the ball rack and waved in unison.

The magician walked quickly to Stern and took the initiative to take the microphone: "I love the Lakers, I love you, I love Los Angeles, let's scream the craziest to Kobe, Gasol, Nash, Li Yue... Thackeray salutes and thanks them for continuing the Lakers championship tradition and giving us the opportunity to relive such an exciting moment..."

Applause and cheers rose and fell like ocean waves. The microphone was passed among the famous Lakers such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy. Everyone said a few words more or less. When the microphone returned to the hands of the magician, the DJ rushed to shout: "Next, the president of the Lakers, Mr. Jim Buss, will be invited to receive the championship ring..."

Before the words were finished, Jim rushed to the side of the trophy, took the ring from Stern, and quickly put it on his finger excitedly, proudly, and excitedly, then held it up high and displayed it around the court. The audience continued to cheer and applaud.

Immediately afterwards was the management team headed by Mitch Kupchak, and then the coaching team headed by D'Antoni. After about three minutes, it was finally the Lakers' turn to receive the ring.

"Let me invite Li Yue to come on stage..." The lights focused on the technical stage, Li Yue raised his right hand to greet the audience, and strode to the middle circle.

Abdul-Jabbar picked up the ring, held his hand, and said with a smile: "I want to meet with him in this form next year."

"I will give [-]% effort." Li Yue nodded, took the ring and put it on his middle finger, and held it up again to show the audience. The cheers in the arena reached a new peak, and the central big screen flashed his playoff highlights Highlights.

...

ESPN live seats.

Mike Brin reached out and clicked lightly on the IPAD, and after a little observation, he said: "According to the information, the championship ring of the Lakers this year is mainly divided into four parts, with 17 diamonds embedded in the top ring;
The left side continues the previous design of using laser engraved players' personal avatars; the right side is the Lakers LOGO and the year they won the championship; the inner circle of the ring is the abbreviation of all the players from last season, each costing up to 100 million US dollars. "

"OK, as long as the fans know it's precious." Jeff Van Gundy joked, "Let's talk about the Spurs, the Lakers' opponent in the first game of the new season. They were eliminated by the Lakers 2-4 in the second round of the playoffs last season.

In the summer free market, they didn't make big moves, but I noticed that before this game, Popovich said in an interview that Boris Diao will have more starting opportunities this season, and the first game will be played. practice.

How do you think this will change the Spurs? "

"Honestly, I think this is a manifestation of Popovich's ambition." Special guest commentator Kevin Pelton said, "Diao is more functional as a power forward. He can shoot three-pointers and attack with the ball. The Spurs The team's offense will be smoother than before, and the defensive deterrence will not drop too much, and it will even have a miraculous effect because of the speed. They desperately want to beat the Lakers in the first game."

"I heard that the Spurs have also replaced the team's tactical system with a dynamic offense this season," Breen said. "This is the same as the Lakers' tactical system. What advantages do the two teams have?"

"The Lakers are dominant at the small forward and shooting guard positions, and their lineup is younger." Van Gundy said, "The Spurs are dominant at the other three positions. The team's degree of running-in is better than that of the Lakers, and the bench lineup is also better."

"Strictly speaking," Kevin said, "the Spurs lineup is much better than the Lakers in the case of Kobe Bryant's truce."

"OK, the championship flag-hanging ceremony is about to take place," Brin said, "then there will be a fierce battle between the two teams."

...

On the field, a banner with the words "2012-2013 Championship" was placed on the north wall of the arena by the staff.

The BGM of "We Are the Champions" then sounded, and everyone on the scene sang loudly, watching the championship flag rise slowly. After reaching the top, another beam of light came on, focusing on many retired jerseys, and the two complemented each other brilliantly .

The host announced the end of the ceremony, and Taylor Swift made her debut, leading the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls".

Li Yue stood on the bench and looked around the arena. He saw Denzel Washington, Cooper, Lord Gou, Nicholson and many other Lakers fans, and he saw a few super rich people in the high-level double-team.

The last note was played quickly, the lights around the arena were turned on again, and the big screen in the center of the arena began to play reminders of the highlights of the game.

[Nike released the new season's first 50+ scoring challenge, can Li Yue complete it? 】

[Popovich believes that Li Yue's future achievements will surpass the basketball god Michael Jordan, what do you think? 】

[Both the Lakers and the Spurs focus on a dynamic offensive system, who will be better? 】

After reading all the reminders, Li Yue shook his head and turned around, just in time to catch a glimpse of Kawhi Leonard staring at him expressionlessly, his eyes revealing ruthlessness and cruelty, as if he had a sworn enemy, and he was about to swallow him alive in the next second.

Li Yue smiled and waved hello, Leonard's expression seemed to freeze, without any change.

"Maybe it's a robot." Li Yue complained to himself, walked to the bench and stood still, suddenly realized that the opponent Leonard seemed to have become stronger again, and immediately shook his head subconsciously, "It's scary to gain muscle just like that."

"What? Who is gaining muscle?" Nick Yang, who was standing beside him, raised his arms and shoulders and asked.

"The Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs."

"He is indeed a training madman," Nick Young nodded, "I checked Twitter the day before yesterday and saw someone saying that he broke a 500-pound squat machine and cracked the chassis. Never heard of anyone like that."

"Damn, I'm really not human." Li Yue sighed, "tsk tsk", and was about to learn more about the details. The whistle sounded, and the game entered the preparation stage. He turned around and walked into the court immediately, and began to think about how to deal with the game.

The Spurs also play a dynamic offensive system. If they want to tell the difference, they must grasp every detail.
