The rise of basketball legends

Before the war started, Dayao made congratulatory calls to Chen Yan and Arab League respectively. Dayao hoped that they would successfully win the championship. After winning the championship, their confidence in participating in the London Olympics would be even different.

Many celebrities also predicted the outcome of the game.

Ewing said: "The Knicks will definitely win the championship. New York fans have been waiting for this day for too long. They are stronger than the Spurs in terms of overall strength. What the Knicks players have to do now is to stay focused every minute and every second in the game. Don't give the Spurs a chance."

Magic Johnson said: "This is definitely a very interesting series. The Spurs and Knicks represent traditional and modern styles of play. I personally look forward to the showdown between the two teams."

Reggie Miller: "The Spurs may win one or two games, but the Knicks are going to win the series and they're going to win the O'Brien Trophy, I firmly believe that."

Olajuwon said: "This will be a tough battle for the Spurs. The Knicks are younger, they are more energetic, and the average age of the Spurs is there, especially Tim Duncan. There is no doubt that he is a great player." player, but we cannot ignore one point. He is 36 years old and Ginobili is 35 years old. If the Knicks are allowed to play the familiar run-and-gun rhythm, the Spurs will be in trouble."

David Robinson said: "The Spurs are two different teams in the playoffs and the regular season. They will be upgraded again in the finals. They are full of experience and are not afraid of any opponent. They will have the last laugh."

O'Neal said: "I really want to support my old friend Duncan, but I have to be honest in front of the microphone. The Knicks have a greater chance of winning this series. They have Chen, this amazing man."

Most of the celebrities support the Knicks, and a small number support the Spurs.

Chinese fans are all leaning towards the Knicks. Fans have said that the era of the Spurs has passed and they are no longer willing to watch that lifeless positional battle.

Time flies so fast, June 6th comes in the blink of an eye.

The day of the finals!

Under the impassioned voice of the live DJ, the atmosphere was suddenly aroused.

The climax of the atmosphere was when Chen Yan appeared on the stage. With the introduction of exclusive BGM and phenomenal DJ, the fans' voices reached their peak.

During the warm-up period, Chen Yan started practicing long-range three-pointers. He did not say hello to the Spurs players. First, he was not familiar with them. Second, talking too much would weaken the good atmosphere created. He was holding back his breath.

In his first year with the Knicks, Chen Yan was eliminated early. This year he vowed to win a championship for the team.

This is what he requires of himself and is the best way to give back to the New York fans.

The first game was played in New York and was broadcast live in many countries around the world.

Before the game started, the camera scanned around the auditorium. Basically half of the entertainment industry was here, and a lot of people from the sports circle were also here, including Beckham, Serena Williams, and Bolt.

Chen Yan did not go to the sidelines to say hello. There were so many celebrities, saying hello and chatting a few words. It is estimated that half of the warm-up time has passed.

He came to play, not to socialize. Chen Yan put all his attention on the court.

Many Knicks stars also came, and Ewing came again. This time he was not stopped by security. The security guard who prevented him from entering the stadium had been fired.

The starting lineups of both sides are released.

New York Knicks: Curry, Chen Yan, Battier, David West, DeAndre Jordan.

San Antonio Spurs: Parker, Leonard, Stephen Jackson, Diaw, Duncan.

After leaving the Suns, Diaw came to the Spurs, where Diaw did the same thing as the Suns, serving as an inside organizer.

At the beginning of the game, Jordan won the jump ball.

The New York Knicks go first.

The fans at the scene burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the long-awaited finals finally began!

The person responsible for defending Chen Yan is first-year rookie Leonard.

Leonard's face was expressionless like a robot. No one knew what he was thinking, but in this league, there is no outside player who is not nervous when facing Chen Yan.

In the first offensive round, the Knicks made a tactical coordination.

Curry ran a high pick-and-roll with David West in the high post.

Curry is also a player who can play inside and outside, and the pick-and-roll between the two is also very powerful.

Diaw changed defense, Curry glanced at it and accelerated to rush in. Curry reached the free throw line. Curry wanted to pass the ball to Chen Yan in the bottom corner.

This intention was too obvious and was directly intercepted by Leonard!

"Ouch, this ball was passed directly to Leonard!" Zhang Lili complained.

"Curry's first trip to the finals is still a little nervous." Yu Jia explained.

After Leonard got the ball, he wanted to advance. Chen Yan followed up closely. After taking two steps, Leonard chose to collect the ball.

He is calm and prefers to play it safe rather than risk a push.

Leonard handed the ball to Parker, who slowly dribbled across half court to play a positional battle.

Curry directly let Parker go. He knew that Parker was not good at three-pointers.

This is a provocation, but Parker is no longer a dazed young man who just entered the league. He has long been trained by Popovich to become an organized and disciplined top point guard.

Curry's routine doesn't excite him.

Parker ignored Curry and continued to play according to the tactical arrangement.

Parker and Duncan played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and the other three pulled outside the three-point line.

All three have outside shooting capabilities, which can open up offensive space for Parker.

Parker took advantage of the moment when Jordan changed defense, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and rushed in.

fast!

too fast!

Parker is a well-known speed player. Once he rushes forward, it is difficult for inside players to catch up.

Parker rushed into the penalty area and hit a layup with his right hand. Jordan wanted to chase the shot, but he missed it by a hair!

Watching the ball fall into the net.

2:0.

Parker's finishing shooting percentage in the penalty area is terrifying. He took 667 shots at the basket in a single season and scored 437 goals. The shooting percentage was a brutal 65.5%, which was higher than the inside giants like Duncan and O'Neal.

With his comprehensive shooting percentage and production, he can be called the "King of the Restricted Area" in the NBA.

Knicks offensive round.

Curry dribbled the ball through half court. The mistake in the previous round caused Curry to slightly slow down the offensive speed in this round.

Curry stops the ball at the top of the arc to observe the movement of his teammates.

Chen Yan went around from the left corner to the right corner, and Jordan helped him cover without the ball.

Upon seeing this, Battier immediately ran from the right corner to the left corner. Battier and Chen Yan now have a tacit understanding. As soon as Chen Yan starts, he will know what Chen Yan is thinking and will immediately cooperate with him to run. Bit.

After reaching the bottom corner, Tea did not end his single-round run.

He suddenly accelerated towards the flank.

David West took a step to help Chen Yan block Leonard.

Chen Yan received Curry's pass from the wing.

Diaw did not switch defense.

This was a mistake by Dior.

He immediately realized his mistake in the next moment, because the person standing opposite was Chen Yan!

But it was too late.

The moment Diaw pounced, Chen Yan opened his hand and shot a three-pointer.

Crisp into the net!

2:3.

After the ball was scored, Zhang Liji smiled happily: "It makes me look at Chen Yan!"
