7 crowns in 10 years?

Perhaps only Russell's long history of nine championships in 10 years can surpass it. But the problem is that the two are in different eras, and objectively speaking... In the super ancient 58-59 season, the league In the early days, there were only 8 teams. In the process of achieving eight consecutive championships, the number of teams only increased to 9, and the competitiveness was far less than it is now.

This does not mean to belittle the achievements of the Green Army or Russell. It is an objective fact.

Of course, Russell's 11 rings are unprecedented if you take a long look at them. Likewise, Li Shengli's 7 crowns in 10 years will not be low in terms of achievement, but...this achievement will have to wait until this time. Only after the finals.

Under this circumstance, everyone in the Lakers is looking forward to this year's finals.

Although championships are meaningful every year, there are particularly many this year. The century-old problem that has left the entire league and fans across the United States hanging in the hearts of fans finally has an answer this year.

Ancient King of the Ring Bill Russell awards awards in the finals every year, what will happen to Russell after that?

Obviously, the appearance of Li Shengli successfully solved this problem, and everyone knew that this kind of thing was possible. This also made the younger stars of the major teams in the league feel very embarrassed...

If Li Shengli retires, what should everyone do?

Think about it... When we were young, everyone was the best in the league, but except for Kobe, everyone was beaten by Li Shengli and forcibly trained in the military during this era. But if you reach the peak when you are older and finally win the championship, then what will really happen? Something terrible happens.

Winning the championship is all smiles!

When it comes to the awards, my mother sells it? !

Because, because when I look up... Damn, the big brother who trained me in the military and retired after a successful career is still there. The key is that he is holding the championship and FMVP trophies and smiling at you. Just say... Yo, brother , here it comes!

That's it……

Whose mentality must not collapse?

If nothing else, if Li Shengli presented an award to O'Neal, would the picture be so beautiful?

So in this year's finals, if nothing else, except maybe the Lakers and Lakers fans, the entire league doesn't want the Lakers to win the championship again, but it's a pity...it's the New Jersey Nets who are responsible for blocking.

…

Damn it!

Is this the legendary... historical main mission?

To be honest, the pressure on the Nets before the game was too great, not only from within the team, but also from the voices of the fans of the 28 teams besides the Lakers who represented the will of the league. And the day of the first game on the 5th.

Nets home court.

Kidd and his teammates accepted the mission entrusted to them by millions of fans!

No matter what the strength comparison is, no matter what the odds of winning or losing, the New Jersey Nets forcefully and unilaterally declare war on the once-popular super-rich Los Angeles Lakers...

…

A finals that is not too suspenseful and of low quality?

According to past practice, the ratings of this round of games will not be high. At least it will definitely not be as crazy as when the Lakers let the Lakers chase four and the Celtics played a tiebreaker. But the problem is the popularity of the first game of this year's finals. It's a bit unusual, because before the finals, Stern's team started promoting it.

It may be to save ratings, or it may be due to other considerations.

Stern was very generous this time. His team made an official highlight and posted it to major media outlets to promote the finals. It included all of Li Shengli’s game feats over the past ten years, and also recorded every player who was defeated at the center position. The background players who were ruthlessly beaten include veterans Olajuwon, Robinson, and Ewing, as well as the new generation of O'Neal, Mourning, Big Ben, Mutombo, and even Jordan who sighed in despair after losing the finals. .

Maybe the promotional poster is more direct...

The freeze-frame photo of Li Shengli smashing the backboard was posted on it, and a short sentence attached next to it was...'This has been the king of the decade' in Chinese, which can be roughly translated as 'king of the decade', or it can be 'The King's Ten Years'!

Do this?

To be honest, everyone knows that this is the last stroke of Li Shengli's glorious ten years.

As long as this stroke is completed, this will be a great achievement comparable to Russell, the King of the Rings. This topic instantly aroused heated discussions throughout the league and also caused huge waves among the melon-eating fans. It has truly reached the level of The ultimate goal of official propaganda.

…

It’s been ten years?

Li Shengli thought about it... If it weren't for the lack of gimmicks in this finals, and if Stern's team hadn't forced him to promote it, he might have been too concerned about this topic of time calculation.

But the problem is that this kind of publicity probably aroused the feelings of many people, so regardless of whether they are active or retired, Li Shengli's old teammates and old opponents across the past ten years have all rushed to New Jersey, and once again It set off the second publicity storm of the finals, and with such a good effect...the official second promotional poster was also released.

The opponents knocked over by Li Shengli were turned into a series of silhouettes, so blurry that it was difficult to see who was who, but without exception, they all lined up behind Li Shengli's death blow.

Different from the first poster, this time there is no name on the background board. We only know that it is a collection of centers from an era. The slogan of the second poster is 'The coronation of a king', which will be released in the Chinese market. The translation is 'The Crowning of the King'!

…

Ten years of the king?

And then there's...the coronation of the king?

If he didn't know better, Li Shengli would definitely scold the copywriting created by some second-level planner. But seeing that the effect of the publicity campaign is exploding, this finals may gather the largest number of players in history to watch the finals. The Lakers' public relations department has no idea at all. There may be no movement, and it is impossible to miss this publicity opportunity.

So, Jenny Buss personally took action, discussed with West and Magic for a long time, and took over the official duties. The third promotional poster designed in an expedited manner was released at noon on the 5th on the day of the game, but There was no background board this time, and Li Shengli stood alone in the center circle of the stadium, with no one around.

But the problem is that taking over the official publicity idea, Jenny Buss can't help but be arrogant.

So after the ‘King’s Ten Years’ and ‘The King’s Coronation’, this time the slogan directly read ‘Now, watch the ceremony’, which translates to... It’s now, watch the ceremony begins!

…

However, both the official and the Lakers' public relations department may have caused a huge amount of psychological damage to the Nets' public relations department. This made the Nets general manager feel that the joy of working hard to reach the finals was diluted, and he felt very uncomfortable. Because compared to the previous ones, the copywriting plan given by our public relations department is like shit and smells bad!

In the first edition, the New Jersey Nets won’t give up? !

Kidd and the Nets players stood in a V-shaped pose. Not to mention Kidd, everyone felt that he was as shabby as he wanted, and it did not reflect domineering at all.

Second edition, Miracle in New Jersey? !

Not to mention the content of the promotional poster, Kidd was almost scolded, because "miracle" is a cliché that is almost worn out, and even typing it out makes me feel down and embarrassed.

As for the third edition on the 5th.

The Lakers have already put up the slogan "Now, watch the ceremony", and the copywriters and planners of the Nets Public Relations Department are anxious because this situation is so embarrassing... The game has not even started yet, and the Lakers are giving all the limelight?

So without even having lunch, the Nets' third version of the poster was finally produced before the game. It was extremely concise, and the real focus was on the captions... The Kingslayer from New Jersey, Chinese translation 'The Kingslayer from New Jersey' King! ’

ugly?

It's a bit ugly, but there's nothing you can do about it. The opponent's status is so high. The Lakers have launched a crazy public opinion offensive without defending. And there's nothing wrong with being a regicide, because the Lakers were the championship last year... In addition, this Although it sounds unpleasant, it is not derogatory, and it is indeed what the Nets are doing.

However, Kidd, who has high hopes from the entire league, is pitiful...

He really didn't want to be forced into the position of regicide and leader of the resistance, because he still thought that the Nets would not be able to succeed and win the championship, and that he would be with Lao Li when he grew old. Form an aging NBA team and then defeat the young people born in 2000.

But now... being forced to lead a group of people to prepare for an uprising is not a big deal. The key is to rebel at Li Shengli's coronation ceremony?

This is a bit too fantasy.

If you don't make a fuss, you'll be beaten badly.

Perhaps the only good news is that he has the support of the entire league this time, including O'Neal, Garnett, and Pierce who were eliminated by them in the last round, as well as the old and strong Jordan from the Wizards.

There are also the Spurs brothers, the Kings, and everyone who has had a foothold in Li Shengli's ten years of harvest. On the day of the game, the Nets home court was full of stars. Everyone who could come came and stood there. Went to the land of New Jersey to "fight side by side" with Kidd to fight against this decade of war.
