Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Important, of course important!

Whether it is the Knicks or the Mavericks, this finals is very, very important. No matter which team, there are too many reasons why they should win the championship.

The Mavericks have never won a championship, and the Knicks have never defended a championship, so every game in the finals is a decisive battle for them!

Perhaps because it is so important, while basketball fans all over the world are cheering for the upcoming finals in their own crazy ways, the two competing teams have maintained a tacit understanding of silence.

Except for D'Antoni who expressed some opinions on the game during interviews, others even chose not to accept media interviews.

Quietness is the theme before this year's finals.

However, everyone knows that tranquility is only on the surface, and there are often turbulent undercurrents hidden under the calm water. Under the calm appearance of the two teams, everyone knows what is hidden.

June 1, night, New York.

New York is still bustling at night, and the busyness here is always day and night.

But, tonight, there is only one center in the whole of New York, and all the eyes of New York are converging in the same direction.

Madison Square Garden, the mecca of basketball, tonight welcomes its fifth Finals since its establishment.

As more than 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden take their seats one by one, and reporters from more than 150 media outlets around the world set up their seats one after another, the final suspense of the 10-11 season is about to be revealed!

Since today is not only the opening day of the finals, it is also the International Traditional Children's Day, so gifts were specially prepared for the children in the stadium.

Respect is always mutual, and the children also took out the gifts they prepared for the Knicks.

There was still half an hour before the start. The camera swept across the court, and the children showed off the "weapons" in their hands - the paintings they drew by themselves, which showed various classic scenes of the Knicks this season, such as the left wing.

Big Z dunk, Curry's super long three-pointer, Battier covering his eyes for defense, Randolph's black bear roaring, everything!

Finally, the camera focused on the little girl with black hair and yellow skin sitting in the middle. Her clothes showed everyone her origins, the Harlem Orphanage—the place where Zuo Li really started.

She raised the painting in her hand high. It was a boy who looked like Zuo Li holding up the entire city with a basketball.

The camera then went to the back, which clearly read: "Achieve greatness!"

The audience who had already arrived gave all the children their warmest applause, and at the same time, led by the DJ, they shouted the names of "New York," "Knicks" and "Left".

"Well done." Zuo Li, who was watching this scene in the locker room, raised his lips. He couldn't help but remember that Dolan had mysteriously found him a few days ago and told him that he would see a special surprise before the start of the finals.

What he sees now, it has to be said that after so many years, Dolan has finally figured it out.

After such a performance, not only the scene became lively, but also the hearts of all the Knicks players became hot.

Children are the future, not just of basketball, but of the world.

So before entering the stadium, the German coach looked at Zuo Li and said, "Say something?"

Zuo Li nodded. At this moment, the Knicks locker room was unprecedentedly quiet. The teammates wearing headphones took off their headphones one after another. They all looked sincerely at Zuo Li, the team's only true core and the source of their confidence.

Under the leadership of Randolph, all Knicks players were shoulder to shoulder, with Zuo Li standing in the middle of them all.

"This is not the first time, guys, three years, three times," Zuo Li looked at the surrounding teammates one by one, and everyone looked at Zuo Li: "You are the best, we are the best

of!"

"Do you still remember the feeling of holding the trophy? I will never forget it in my life. Most people here have enjoyed that kind of glory. I don't know what it means to you, but to me, it means addiction!

"

"Once a person has experienced victory, he will never be willing to fail. Perhaps, will anyone still remember the feeling of our failure the year before last? That was the most uncomfortable time in my life."

"Then, when you walk out from here, everything will be different. I am there because of the O'Brien Cup. What we have to do is to keep him in New York, keep him in the Knicks, and keep him in the hands of each of us!

"

"Look, what's waiting for us now is an eternal fame that can be recorded in history, two consecutive championships! Let's do it together to lay the foundation of the dynasty!"

After Zuo Li finished speaking, he raised his right hand.

Everyone stretched out their hands towards Zuo Li's raised hand, and Randolph shouted in a deep voice like a live DJ: "Let'——go!!!"

The entrance ceremony has begun!

When players from both sides stepped onto the court one by one, the whole world began to boil.

NBA Commissioner David Stern no longer wants to listen to the report on ratings records because he knows that tonight's finals will definitely break various ratings records.

"This is a feast!" Yu Jia said excitedly. The long-awaited finals are finally about to begin. Can Zuo Li defend his title for the first time in the history of the yellow race?

On the court, as the opening ceremony ended, the big screen showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

New York Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Battier, Belinelli, Stephen Curry.

Dallas Mavericks: Chandler, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Stevenson, Jason Kidd.

"Come on!" Elizabeth Olsen hugged Zuo Li before he came off the bench to compete for the ball: "I will be here to watch you win."

Like any previous finals, she will not be absent and is also Zuo Li's strongest supporter!

"China Central Television Sports Channel!"

"ESPN!"

"TNT!"

“Tencent Sports Live Room!”

…

As explanations in different languages ​​rang out, Zuo Li and his teammates walked to the center circle on the court.

Nowitzki slapped his cheek with his hand. This was his return to the finals stage after five years, and he had to face it in the best condition.

"I never thought it would be me in the end." Dirk smiled and high-fived Zuo Li.

"I thought of it, I knew it a long time ago." Zuo Li responded with a smile.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Dirk looked up to the sky and laughed. He only thought that Zuo Li was just talking. After all, even he didn't expect that he would reach this point, so how could Zuo Li know.

Zuo Li did not laugh. After all, he was telling the truth.

"We are not easy to mess with."

"I know, but I want to try."

"We'll see?"

“We’ll see!”

…

Dirk has a typical German character, rigorous, old-fashioned, and serious. Every time Zuo Li interacts with him, it is like this.

However, everyone knows that plainness is just the surface.

After the two finished speaking, they returned to their respective half-courts to wait for the jump ball.

As the ball was thrown into the air, Zuo Li won the first possession of the game!

"The finals, G1, officially begins!"

"Should the Mavericks, the dark horse, be able to stay in the black horse until the end, or will the Knicks be able to successfully ascend to the throne!!!"
