Chapter 581 Sleek
ESPN made a special program titled "Who is the best (Who is the best?)", the background picture is back to back, looking at Xu Tian and James on the left and right sides respectively.

Stephen A. Smith didn't like to see James very much, saying: "Xu almost swept all the honors in the regular season and led the Lakers back to the finals. Such a performance can be called the best of the season."

Xu Tian ignored the voices of the outside world praising him to the sky, soaked in the training hall, and used greater training intensity than usual to prepare for the finals that will start soon.

James is the proud son of heaven. He has been sought after by the media since he entered the league. After coming to Los Angeles, he has always been surrounded by reporters from various media and asked some questions about the finals.He knows how to deal with the media, and his answers are impeccable, so that the outside world cannot find fault.

Scott and Mark Madsen called up the previous rounds of the Cavaliers series and regular season videos, carefully analyzed the technical characteristics of each player, and tried to find out the details of the Cavaliers before the game started.For some reason, Tylen Lue standing on the sidelines always attracts attention.

Magic Johnson is often not in the office, but recently he has felt the joy of being the president of operations, sitting in the office, keeping his clothes, imagining that he has completed the task of bringing the Lakers back to the championship.He agreed to Jenny Buss' invitation just to bring the Lakers back to the ranks of strong teams. If it can be done, he can retreat bravely and continue to enjoy life.

Ramona is a reporter who can get close to the top of the Lakers. She got the opportunity to interview Xu Tian and ask him about his views on the finals.

Xu Tian answered very cautiously, saying that before the actual confrontation, it is impossible to predict what will happen.But he will definitely do his best to find a way to help the team compete for the championship.

Kyrie Irving was excited about the upcoming match against Xu Tian, ​​and his enthusiasm for training was much higher than usual. After the team training, he stayed in the stadium for additional training.He was never shy of a challenge and wanted to perform against the Lakers.

On the huge poster outside the Staples Center, the Lakers and Warriors stars are all on it, quietly announcing the two sides that will face each other here in a few days.

After Kobe returned to Los Angeles, he first maintained his ankles and shoulders, trying to maintain his condition.After 20 years of professional career, his body can no longer guarantee his health. For such an important game, he dare not be careless.

George and Nick Young seized the rare opportunity to rest and headed to the nightclub to celebrate their first career finals.They haven't played for a while, and they feel a little uncomfortable.

The whole city of Los Angeles is celebrating the return of the Lakers to the finals. On the billboards outside the major commercial buildings, personal highlights of Xu Tian, ​​Kobe, and George are constantly playing, so that passers-by can realize what is about to happen in this city.

When Alice drives to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, she is often encouraged by many strangers to convey their love to Xu Tian.

In competitive sports, ordinary fans always admire the strong, and Xu Tian is the player who stands at the top of the pyramid.

TNT hosted the reunion together on the day, and began to discuss the upcoming finals.

Barkley still holds a special view, believing that the Cavaliers can sweep the Lakers and win the championship this season.This is the arrangement of the program group, and there is nothing he can do about it.

O'Neal is just the opposite, but it is basically a normal scale, predicting that the Lakers will win the series through 6 or 7 games.Xu Hui was elected the MVP of the finals.

Barkley said: "Last year's FMVP was awarded to Iguodala. If the same standard is followed, it is likely to be given to Kobe or Paul George."

O'Neill said: "No, believe me, this kind of thing will not happen. FMVP depends on media votes. In the overwhelming publicity now, Xu Tian occupies most of the space. He is clearly the darling of the media. The increase in rate. All of this clearly shows how popular Xu is, and with his performance, there is no suspense at all. Unless the Cavaliers can win the series."

Barkley said: "The Cavaliers do not have Kobe, nor do they have players of Paul George's level. As long as they win, LeBron can undisputedly get the FMVP. And I still insist on my point of view, the Cavaliers can sweep the Lakers."

Alice turned on all the programs about the finals and watched them simultaneously in split-screen mode. After hearing what Barkley said, she said to Xu Tian who was training his strength: "Xu, Charles Barkley is analyzing the finals again and thinks that you will be defeated. Sweep."

Xu Tian just finished a set of strength training, sat on the sofa, and watched the program of TNT Tiantuan.But he was a little uncomfortable with the split-screen mode and felt a little dizzy.I couldn't help asking Alice: "You don't feel uncomfortable watching so many small screens?"

Alice sometimes wants to watch more TV shows, and will use this mode, and asks inexplicably: "Is it normal? Why don't you get used to it?"

Xu Tian continued to look at the screen, but still felt uncomfortable. He could see all the things played on the small screen, which caused too much information to be received in an instant, and his eyes would feel tired.

Alice thought of the last ESPN show about Xu Tian's physical talent, and said excitedly: "I thought of it! Your eyesight is better than ordinary people, and your ability to observe moving objects is several times that of ordinary people, so it should be you who can Seeing all the things on the small screen at the same time, the brain can't process so much information, which leads to discomfort."

Xu Tian thought for a while and said, "Maybe, tune out the TNT program and watch it as a whole."

Barkley's point of view has been expressed, and he is dismantling each other with O'Neal, and soon talked about the championship ring.

Xu Tian originally thought that he would see something interesting, but seeing it was all commonplace, so he took a sip of the water in the cup, then walked back to the equipment area, and continued the next set of strength training.He concluded from the suggestions given by several historical figures that strength is the basis of most technical movements, and only by being able to withstand the confrontation can he display his technical level.

Li Lang called Xu Tian and asked him if he would be interviewed by Brad Turner.

Xu Tian didn't want to face the media alone before the finals, so he declined the interview request and asked Li Lang to apologize on his behalf.After a long season, he has grown a lot both mentally and in the way he handles problems, with fewer edges and corners and more smoothness.

Magic Johnson became a candidate for the "Los Angeles Times" and went to an interview with Brad Turner to talk about this season's trade, the Lakers lineup and his views on the Finals.It's a job that interests him more than the operations president.Throughout the interview, he always had a smile on his face.

This made him even more determined that after the end of the season, he will consider retiring as the president of basketball operations of the Lakers.
