lakers championship

Chapter 74 Glory even if defeated
A day passed quickly while watching videos, discussing, and rehearsing tactics.

During this period, Tianyang did not answer any calls and did not browse any social media.

He only reads text messages one by one after training.

Parents and relatives encouraged him to continue to work hard; classmates and friends hoped that he would continue to work hard.

Farage said that he would continue to watch the game, but unexpectedly, Jiang Rulan would also come.

Even more unexpectedly, Morena hinted that she wanted to start over with him.

Except for Morena, he responded.

The other teammates are similar, and they all devote 95% of their attention to thinking about how to win the finals.

At 4:2 p.m. on April 1, the entire Sequoia team assembled in the hotel lobby.

The hotel staff present and the passengers who came and went stopped what they were doing and cheered for the Sequoia team to see them off.

Before going out, the hotel manager asked Tianyang to sign and write a sentence as a souvenir.

Tianyang thought it was feasible, took the pen from the manager, and wrote: "NOW OR NEVER!"

Immediately, he led the team out of the hotel gate, boarded the bus, and went straight to the Ruilante Stadium.

……

7:30pm.

Although there is still half an hour before the start of the game, almost all the fans watching the game have entered the stadium.

As if arranged, famous North Carolina alumni, Vince Carter, Danny Green, Jamison, Rasheed Wallace, Stackhouse, Harrison Barnes, Fell Dayton, Ellington and others all sat in the row behind the player's bench, with only one vacant seat.

Looking at the past, the big battle is a bit scary, but what is embarrassing is that next to the North Carolina star, there are Lakers owner Jim Buss and general manager Kupchak.

The two obviously came to Tianyang, but Tianyang was North Carolina's opponent, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Fortunately, as the host of TNT, O'Neill conducted a live interview, "Mitch, which team do you think will win the championship today?"

Kupchak rolled his eyes, "Both teams are very good, and the Sequoia team has..."

O'Neill withdrew the microphone and walked away, "Goodbye, at this moment, the audience doesn't like official speeches."

He walked up to Jim, "Hey, BOSS, which team won the championship?"

Jim didn't answer immediately, but stood up, clenched his fists, and shouted at the camera, "The Sequoia team won, Tianyang won the game with 3 points, and won the MOP!"

O'Neal smiled, "I hope it's the plot you mentioned!"

After speaking, O'Neal walked among the North Carolina celebrities, "Guys, I won't ask which team won the championship. Do you think Coach Roy can design a tactic that can successfully limit Tianyang?"

Hearing such a tricky question, all the North Carolina celebrities suddenly became worried.

Say you can, if you don't restrain yourself, you will lose face and your teacher will lose face; if you say no, you will lose a bit of momentum.

They all know that although O'Neill is a media person, his previous remarks were to publicly support the Lakers' choice of Tianyang.

When all the North Carolina celebrities were confused, Stackhouse, who was still experienced, stood up.

"Don't worry about individual performance. Basketball is a team sport. Tianyang will perform well, but I believe that North Carolina will win the final victory. The Sequoia team lost their coach and a starter. Although they lost, they are honored."

These words were neither humble nor overbearing, and the other North Carolina celebrities applauded.

O'Neill raised his eyebrows, "Then we'll see."

After interviewing North Carolina, O'Neill wanted to interview the famous Stanford star.

But he looked around, but he didn't see the NBA star from the Stanford Sequoia team.

Fortunately, the live camera sharply found the two Lopez brothers in the middle and Landry Fields in the top.

awful!
Compared with the many celebrities in North Carolina, the Stanford Sequoia team has too few celebrities, or even none.

O'Neill didn't want to interview the two because they were too far apart, but Farage, who was sitting on the sidelines, caught his attention.

With an idea, he walked up to Farage, "Hey, little girl, are you coming to the Tianyang competition again?"

Farage smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

"Are you his girlfriend? Or is he pursuing you?"

Farage blushed, "I'm not his girlfriend, and he didn't pursue me either."

O'Neal opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "Then why did you kiss him last time?"

Farage blushed even more, "His lore is so handsome, I just want to kiss him."

"Oh? So, you like him?"

Farage lowered his head in embarrassment, "Yeah."

"No wonder you are willing to buy a courtside ticket to watch the game, come on, I am optimistic about you!"

In 15, courtside tickets for the NCAA Finals cost as much as US$3. Farage bought tickets this year for at least US$6, not much more.

So O'Neill knew that the girl had made up her mind.

Farage himself felt nothing. Last week, she accepted a few commercial endorsements, and the person in charge of negotiating told her that it was all thanks to Tianyang that she received these endorsements.

It is a trivial matter to buy two tickets to cheer for SkyOcean.

……

At 7:50, 10 minutes before the opening ceremony, the live BGM suddenly stopped.

"Welcome 76ers legend and future Hall of Famer, Allen Iverson."

The big screen shot of the scene was shown in the front row. Iverson was wearing the No. 24 jersey of the Sequoia team, and took Embiid and Okafor to sit. Behind them, there was Joshua-Harris, the owner of the 76ers. , president Sam – Hinkie, coach Brett – Brown.

The appearance of several people immediately won applause from the audience, but before the applause dissipated, the live broadcast rang again.

"Welcome Los Angeles Lakers Legends, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant!"

While reading the names of the two, Jim Buss immediately shouted in unison and roared in the direction of the owner of the 76ers, as if to say, 'Come on, who is more famous than anyone else! '

Before the roar sounded, the live broadcast sounded again.

"Welcome NBA legend, Bill Russell!"

Jim's momentum dropped a lot in an instant, but he immediately reacted. Why did he only mention the Lakers when introducing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and introduce Russell as an NBA passing superstar?

He was not convinced, but still turned around and applauded in Russell's direction.

I saw Stevens and Celtics owner Vic, supporting Russell on the left and right sides, and slowly walked to the seat.

It wasn't until Russell sat still that the live broadcast continued, "Welcome, North Carolina alumnus, Michael Jordan!"

"YES!!!" All the famous North Carolina stars in the back row of the bench stood up and shouted.

They have endured it for a long time. It’s okay for Iverson to play to support Tianyang. They have Carter of the same age, but Kobe, Kareem, and Russell, they really can’t help it. The momentum of the North Carolina players has been introduced Gone.

But Jordan, the god of basketball, appeared as a North Carolina alumnus, and they regained their advantage in an instant.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Jordan walked up to them and sat in the empty seat.

The lively scene at the scene caused heated discussions on social media.

LeBron: "I would have gone to the scene if I knew it, but I will watch the game today."

Wade: "@Ellington I'm sorry, I want to see Tianyang score 60 points to win!"

……

At 8 o'clock, in the locker room, the Sequoia team gathered together, and Stackhouse's interview was being broadcast on TV.

Tianyang stood in the center and held up his right hand, "Guys, we have reached the end, we only have to draw a full stop. It's an honor to go to hell, but to win the championship, we will all be famous for the Sequoia team in the future!"
