Chapter 570 The Big Show
A huge poster was posted on the front of the Oracle Arena, on which all the Warriors players appeared, conveying to fans the message that the team is a whole.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob came to the arena early to greet the staff, then walked to the home locker room to talk to the equipment manager who was already working.

The NBA is the top basketball league in the world. When playing in it, there will be special personnel to help with everything.Players just need to play, and the conditions are exceptionally good.

Xu Tian was the first player to come to the Oracle Arena. He first greeted the equipment manager Maples, and then began to change his jersey.

Maples came an hour earlier than usual today, quickly set up the locker, sat on the chair and looked at the phone.

Xu Tian usually needs to lower his center of gravity frequently during the game, with extra pressure on his knees, lying on the floor of the locker room, and then flipping through the book given to him by the Zen master.This is a link that was not there before. Since the last psychological warfare worked, he has added this item to the pre-match preparation.

Kobe and George came out of the room, came to Xu Tian's room, knocked on the door for a while but got no response.It took a long time before he realized that Xu Tian might have arrived at the Oracle Arena.

Reporters from various media went to Oracle Arena in different ways to familiarize themselves with the layout of the venue in advance and prepare for interviews and reports in the evening.This game has attracted the attention of most fans in the United States and has a very high report value.

League president Adam Silver wanted to personally crown the Western Conference champion, and came to Oakland again to watch the game live.He admires the Lakers and Warriors very much, and naturally prefers the Western Conference Finals.

The three members of Wade's family came to Oracle Arena by car and lined up to check tickets.During this period, Warriors fans expressed their love for him.

The Curry family also came to Oracle Arena to watch the game live and cheer for Curry.

Kobe and George came to Oracle Arena in the same car, and they were a little surprised to see the crowd that almost covered the entire square.If you look closely, you will find that there are many Asians in the crowd.

There are many Chinese in the Bay Area, and they all love Xu Tian very much and came to the scene to support him.But there is a limit to the number of tickets after all, and most fans have to watch the game on a giant screen in the square outside.

Time passed unconsciously, and soon came the moment when the game was about to start.

ESPN carried out the broadcast in advance and released the prepared promotional video, allowing fans to review the slow-motion replays of the highlight shots of the previous games.

Xu Tian scored 50+ points in two games, and there were a lot of highlight shots, which took up half of the time again.

This is a very common phenomenon since the playoffs.

After all the Lakers players came to the locker room, Kobe called everyone together and said: "I am very happy to be teammates with you at this stage of my career. Don't be burdened by tonight's game, enjoy the game, and don't leave regrets for yourself .”

Nick Yang smiled and said, "Boss, shouldn't you say something like winning? Why are you so unmotivated?"

Kobe smiled and said: "Even if I don't say it, no one wants to lose."

"It is."

Xu Tian stretched out his left hand, waited until his teammates put their hands together, simply said cheers, then walked out of the locker room, and trotted into the field under the camera lenses of forests on both sides of the passage.

The atmosphere in Oracle Arena was even more explosive than before, and the Lakers players were booed so high that the decibels broke through the sky.This made Xu Tian inexplicably excited.

The popularity of the Warriors players was almost equal to the booing of the Lakers players. Before the game started, a strong home atmosphere was created.This kind of thing can't be seen, but it can be clearly felt.

ESPN sent three people, Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson, to explain the game live.

Wade, McGrady, Baron Davis and other stars appeared in the auditorium, which made the fans sitting around excited.

After the three commentators finished their self-introductions, Mike Breen explained first: "What is going on now is the introduction of the Western Conference Finals G7, and the game will start soon."

The lights of the arena have been dimmed, and huge pillars of fire erupted from behind the backboard and in front of the auditorium on both sides, briefly illuminating the arena and pushing the atmosphere to a higher level.

Xu Tian was still the first player to be introduced. He stood on the court amidst the boos of the audience, and after his teammates were introduced, he gave them high-fives one by one.

The introduction of the Warriors players is full of momentum. After the introduction of each player, the fans will give warm cheers, which makes the overall atmosphere quite good.

Adam Silver felt that he had watched a big show combining lights and flames, and he was very satisfied.

The on-site host called on all the fans to stand up and start playing the national anthem.

With his hands behind his back, Xu Tian stood in the middle of the line with a calm expression, quietly waiting for the session to end.

A few seconds after the end of the music, Mike Breen said: "Ladies and gentlemen! You are watching the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals broadcast live by ESPN for you. The two sides are the Golden State Warriors And the Los Angeles Lakers. After a long campaign, the Western Conference champion will be decided tonight."

Jeff Van Gundy went on to say: "The Los Angeles Lakers have a huge psychological advantage with their three-game winning streak, while the Golden State Warriors have the home advantage. Let us wait and see who can win this game. "

Players from both sides warmed up for shooting on the court, looking for their own rhythm, and getting ready for the upcoming game.

Fans in Los Angeles watched the live broadcast of the game in various ways.They hope to see the Lakers advance, and they are all looking forward to it, but at the same time they feel vaguely uneasy.

Xu Tian's body was already active, he simply made several shots, and quickly found his game state.He is more excited and more comfortable away from home.

Curry was a little nervous inside, but he didn't show it. He calmly warmed up with dribbles and shots, trying to stabilize the morale of the army.

Klay Thompson still has his usual expression, it seems that this is just an ordinary regular season, without any tension.This is what sets him apart from other players, and it is very special in the league.

ESPN released the starting lineup list of both sides in advance!

Lakers: Xu Tian, ​​Kobe, George, Nance Jr., McGee!
Warriors: Curry, Klay Thompson, Iguodala, Draymond Green, Bogut!

Xu Tian took off his warm-up suit and handed it to the caddy who came to collect the clothes. Then he touched the bracelet of his right hand with his left hand and officially entered the game state.

The referee held the game ball selected by Curry and motioned for players from both sides to shake hands.

Xu Tian knew that the professional league could not greet his opponents, put the braces in his mouth, and stood in the backcourt waiting for the game to start.
