I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 492

"The last topic is, what do you think of the final score of this finals?"

"I mean, this is the third time these two teams have played each other."

"Kobe Bryant brings a new and different Lakers to face the Knicks who have changed their personnel. What do you think?"

Johnson glanced at several people.

Everyone's expressions were a little complicated.

This year’s finals are really not that easy to evaluate.

The difference is that this year's Eastern and Western finals are not as hotly contested as in previous years.

No one can see the specific strength of these two teams.

In terms of excitement, only in the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks versus the Heat may be said to be more intense.

However, after the Knicks started to feel hot, the Heat were unable to inspire the Knicks to their full strength.

No one dares to say which of the two teams is stronger this year.

But to evaluate the composition of the lineup, it is obvious that the Knicks are weaker this year.

However, the Lakers in the Western Conference almost overturned in the second round, which also made everyone see the instability within the Lakers team.

At this point Reggie Miller was the first to speak.

"I think the Lakers should win 4:3 against the Knicks."

"Tie-break?"

"Yes."

Johnson was a little surprised.

He set his sights on the others.

At this moment, Charles Barkley also gave the answer with a wry smile.

"Although I admit that Su Ye is very strong, the Lakers are not so easy to beat this year."

"I also think the two teams will reach the tiebreaker, and the Lakers will win in the end."

Johnson focused on O'Neal.

O'Neill answered directly.

"Of course I support the Lakers."

"I think it's very likely to be 4:2 because the Lakers are in such good shape this year."

"Dayao's strength is still there. If the Lakers perform normally, it is very likely that the battle will be resolved within six games."

O'Neal gave such a high evaluation, which also made the audience gasp.

Everyone thinks the two teams can fight to the tiebreaker.

O'Neill made a bold prediction.

But it was Reggie Miller's turn.

Reggie Miller decisively gave the answer.

"I think it's 4:3, the Knicks win."

"I believe Su Ye, they are different this year too."

"And it's the Lakers, our old rival. They know it very well."

The first person in the studio to support the Knicks appeared, and the Knicks fans also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Knicks really don't have much of an advantage in this year's showdown.

If there is one person who supports the Knicks, there will naturally be a second person who supports the Knicks.

Kenny Smith also made a bold prediction.

"I believe in Su Ye's ability."

"Finals, 4:2, the Knicks will win!"

"Su Ye knows the Lakers very well. He knows how to win against the Lakers!"

"6 games! In only 6 games, the Knicks will beat the Lakers!"

Kenny Smith's affirmative words also made everyone in the live broadcast room laugh without saying a word.

Johnson knew that this was Kenny Smith's style, so he also smiled and turned his head to focus on Chris Webber next to him.

"Webber, what do you think?"

When Weber saw such a big topic for himself, he immediately shook his head.

"I don't know how to answer this kind of question."

"But I feel like both teams will eventually get to the tiebreaker."

"That's for sure, these two teams are very resilient and they're not beat teams."

"They all have rich playoff experience and championship experience."

"This should be the only time in recent years that both teams have won the championship and met in the finals."

"This is the fight of the century."

What Weber said makes sense.

This made many fans in the forum agree.

"Webber is right."

"Indeed, I can't say who will win and who will lose."

"With the Knicks and Lakers alone, I don't know how to watch the Finals."

"Oh my gosh, I feel like the Lakers are going to win, and I feel like the Knicks aren't going to lose."

"Just like Weber said, this is the battle of the century!"

On the program set, Johnson had almost finished talking about the topic, and it was also the last step to enter the program set.

On the screen, a chat box popped up.

Everyone gasped when the person on the other side of the video call showed up to say hello.

"Hello, magician."

"Hello, everyone."

Magic Johnson smiled and greeted everyone.

No one in the program team expected that they would actually invite such a big celebrity.

"My dear! Magician!"

"Hahaha, hello, shark!"

These two players, who also created a dynasty with the Lakers, interacted friendly in front of everyone.

At this moment, Johnson also smiled slightly and hurriedly joined the last topic.

"As you can see, tonight we invited the Hall of Famer Magic to be our guest on TNT."

"Our last question will also be discussed around the six guests."

"Do you think the Lakers, hailed as a Showtime 2.0 team by fans, can beat the Knicks this year?"

"What do you want to say about the Knicks?"

This question is very acute.

As a result, none of the five guests in the live broadcast room of the program group dared to speak.

After all, Magic Johnson, the creator of the showtime era, is here, who dares to discuss such an issue with him.

Magic Johnson also saw the difference in everyone.

He was also the first to speak.

"Let me answer this question first."

"I think every player has his own dynasty title."

"But if you want to build a dynasty, you must have the title of championship, or win the championship with this lineup."

"The game is still going on, but their lineup is very similar to ours."

"But I also have to admit that I see the hope of Showtime 2.0 in them."

"On the other side, the Knicks, I feel like they are more like the Rockets of Big Dream?"

"It's more like a single-core team. I think the Knicks' game is a bit like a clash between two dynasties."

"The winner will create a new dynasty, and the loser will have to start all over again."

"I definitely won't miss this game."

With the magician at the beginning, several people in the studio began to speak freely.

Kenny Smith was the first to speak and explain.

"I agree with the magician."

"No dynasty is alike."

"But I have to say, if the Knicks win the championship this year, they will have created a new Triple Crown dynasty."

"And the Lakers need at least two more championships for this."

Everyone around them nodded in agreement.

O'Neill was also explaining from the side.

"The magician was right."

"No matter which dynasty he belongs to, he has his unique achievements."

"I expect you to do this, Kobe."

"Can you see? I'm looking forward to you!"

"g1, I will watch your game!"

Reggie Miller looked surprised.

"Shaq, are you going to the Knicks?"

"Otherwise?"

O'Neill looked indifferent, then shrugged and answered.

"This is my brother's game and I will watch the whole thing."

O'Neal's words also made many Lakers fans excited.

The finals are coming soon, and everyone is looking forward to the battle between these two teams.

Especially in the finals, if there is a special bonus from the ok combination in the audience, then the meaning of this championship will be even more different.

And the reason why this year's finals is so lively.

The most important thing is the Lakers' achievements in recent years.

They have reached the Finals for four consecutive years in the Western Conference, achieving one championship and two runner-up finishes.

After Kobe and Garnett teamed up to win the championship in the first year.

They lost to Su Ye's Knicks in the next two years.

And this year, no matter who wins or loses, new history will be created.

Four finals in 10 years, this is already the prototype of a dynasty.

This made the fans very excited.

NBA officials also seized on the popularity and directly promoted the Lakers team.

At the same time, for the Knicks, NBA officials also issued slogans.

"A new legend? Or witness a legend?"

This can bring the popularity of NBA to its peak this year.

Air tickets to G1 of the finals have already been sold out in major cities.

Especially the NBA online ticket sales, which were all sold out within less than three minutes of opening.

Not only that, tickets for the Knicks game are priced but not available.

At offline sales points, there was a long queue outside the door even after one day, all of which were scalpers trying to grab tickets.

When Su Ye and the others entered the arena that night, Su Ye was shocked when they heard someone outside the door shouting for 8000 US dollars for an infield ticket.

"Robbing money?"

"My God, the boss doesn't make as much as them."

"That's outrageous!"

Everyone in the car complained about Knicks.

The usual in-field ticket price is only 1000 US dollars, but now it has increased eightfold.

Not only that, the 8000 US dollars in tickets were swept away in an instant.

Entering the stadium, the Lakers players who entered early were warming up.

After Su Ye and the others entered the venue, they also smiled and greeted everyone on the Lakers team.

Especially after seeing Dayao, Dayao stepped forward excitedly and hugged Su Ye.

"Hey! We finally meet on the finals stage!"

"It's okay, Brother Yao. In your current state, there's no problem in playing for two more years."

Su Ye punched Dayao on the chest.

Dayao pretended to be in pain and looked at the referee.

The referee didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the two people fighting.

"Kobe?"

"You were brewing it quietly alone, right?"

Dayao shrugged.

Su Ye looked at the players' tunnel and joked with a smile.

"What on earth does he want to do? Kill me hard, right?"

"Who knows!"

……

Su Ye didn't expect that his words would come true.

That night, the tedious preparations last night ushered in the G1 game.

Kobe didn't say hello to anyone when he came on the court.

They came on full fire in the first quarter and directly led the Lakers team to score a full 33 points.

Kobe scored 12 points in a single quarter.

Dayao scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Paul scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Others scored 5 points.

This explosive state at the beginning made O'Neal who watched tonight's game become a fan, waving towels crazily on the bench.

On the Knicks bench, Prosser was also busy arranging new defensive tactics.

Obviously, as the Knicks coach, he obviously underestimated the strength of this year's Lakers team.

With all members of the Lakers in hot form, they are really not a team they can easily suppress.

Especially the problem of Dayao.

Originally Prosser thought Dayao would be more inclined to the inside.

After all, in previous games in the Western Conference, Dayao mainly focused on inside offense, supplemented by outside offense.

As a result, in the first game of this year's finals, Dayao gave up the confrontation with DeAndre Jordan in the inside and directly pulled DeAndre Jordan to the outside range. With one-handed three-pointers and back-ups, the Knicks had no way to gain the inside advantage. .

DeAndre Jordan, who is best at rebounding, was dropped outside.

Randolph competed with Bynum in the paint for rebounds. The two men were obviously not on the same level.

In the first quarter alone, the Lakers had 5 more offensive rebounds than the Knicks.

This also means that the Lakers played five more offensive rounds than the Knicks.

Not far away, everyone in the commentary box was sighing.

"No one can limit the Lakers with all their players on the line."

"As we can see now, the Knicks, who we have high hopes for, have no way of limiting the Lakers' pace."

"I hope the Knicks can find a way to break the situation in the future."

And back to the second quarter of the game.

Zen Master also showed everyone what the Lakers' heritage is.

Zen Master directly let Dayao rest and replaced him with Odom, who is taller and has good organizational skills.

Odom and Bynum formed the twin towers inside, and they began to change defenses on the outside mercilessly.

This change of defense can be said to have made everyone in the Knicks dizzy.

Because of the flexible footsteps of the two people inside, these two people often complete pick-and-rolls one step ahead of the Knicks.

The worst thing was Stephenson who was chasing Kobe.

As a little fan of Kobe Bryant, he is now dizzy when running into pick-and-rolls.

During the break in the second quarter, Stephenson was complaining.

"Coach, will I have medical insurance if I play with the Knicks?"

"I felt like I had a concussion."

"My head hurts."

Prosser was so angry that he kicked Stephenson in the butt. The guy didn't dare to beep any more.

The person who performed the worst tonight was Stephenson.

He made 10 of 0 shots in the first half, explaining to everyone Stephenson's lower limit.

This guy even took more shots than Randolph.

问题兰多夫今晚表现也不差，7投4中2罚球，砍下10分6篮板。

With Stephenson holding the team back, the team succeeded in losing the Lakers by a full 10 points in the first half.

Entering the third quarter.

Su Ye exploded.

Crazy led the team to overtake the score.

But the same thing is that Kobe also broke out in this quarter.

The two players just started fighting each other inside and outside.

No one expected that this third quarter would turn into a scoring exchange between the big and small players in the league.

Especially for the Knicks, their crazy scoring rhythm once forced the Lakers into a timeout.

But after adjustments, Zen Master relied on his own experience to successfully let Artest suppress the Knicks' team's rising rhythm, only allowing Su Ye to score wildly.

Entering the fourth quarter, the two sides were still inseparable from the beginning.

It wasn't until three minutes into the fourth quarter that Dayao started to attack with the ball.

At this moment, Prosser's heart dropped.

Facing Biao in the front, the inside line was physically exhausted.

Now Jordan can only work hard to protect the frame and cannot complete fast-paced offense.

At this moment, Yao is holding the ball, which will undoubtedly increase the physical exertion of the inside players.

In just 2 minutes, Dayao scored 6 points in a row.

And Jordan was already so tired that he couldn't catch his breath.

It’s hard to continue jumping after jumping.

The situation started to become one-sided at six minutes.

The Zen master's big move really tricked Prosser.

Dayao became the Lakers' secret weapon, winning with one move.

When the final whistle sounded, the Lakers led by 12 points and ended the G1 game, and the Knicks lost.

The Knicks fans at the scene were extremely disappointed.

None of them expected that this year the Lakers would be able to suppress them from the moment they came up.

Even the commentators on the sidelines were complaining.

"We congratulate the Lakers for winning the G1 game."

"But we have to think about how we should adjust to face the next schedule."

"I hope the Knicks can adjust as soon as possible."

Everyone on the field showed helpless expressions.

There is no doubt that the Knicks' state tonight is no longer what everyone wants to see.

Post-match technical statistics.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant had 33 points, Dayao had 18 points, Bynum had 16 points, and Paul had 17 points.

On the other hand, the Knicks scored the highest score tonight by Su Ye with 28 points.

Followed by Randolph's 22 points.

Facing the growing Paul, Deron did not live up to the fans' expectations of him.

To say that the person who performed the worst is definitely Stephenson.

He made 13 of 3 shots from the field and scored only 8 points.

Not only that, in the second half of the fourth quarter, this guy started to get nervous again. He let Kobe Bryant hit three-pointers several times, putting the team in danger.

Prosser was so angry that he wanted to go on the field with his tactical board and give this guy a kick.

And at the post-game press conference.

Stephenson faced the camera and said something that left the audience speechless.

"My performance is so important to the team."

The fans couldn't laugh or cry.

Especially Lakers fans can't help but complain about this guy at this moment.

"Indeed, indeed."

"The best sixth man for our Lakers!"

"It makes me laugh. If you don't perform, I feel like the Knicks might still win."

"I'm a Lakers and Knicks fan, please stop playing, I'm scared."

"I'm convinced. What does it mean for one person to lower the lower limit of an entire team?"

Although Stephenson played very poorly.

But after the game, Su Ye still came out to say good things for Stephenson.

"He's just a first-year rookie. You can't measure him by championship standards. He's still on the way to prove himself."

"This game can only be said to have exceeded our expectations. They were fully prepared, and so were we."

"There is nothing to say about this game, we will win the next games."

"The Knicks are a very resilient team, and so are the Lakers. They completed their transformation in the playoffs, and so did we."

……

Su Ye dealt with all media with ease, which also gave the team a slight sigh of relief.

Neither of them expected that the Lakers would change so much in the playoffs.

On the other side, the media was also completely blown away.

"The old king is dead!" A new king has arisen! 》

"A 5000-word long article analyzing this year's Knicks in detail!" ! ! 》

"The Knicks still have a chance to score more points!" Please see the detailed explanation! 》

It can be said that all fans saw the Lakers' performance in the first game.

And the rumors of badmouthing came immediately.
