Super Role Player

In the first game of the finals in Miami, David Stern came to the American Airlines Arena in person.

Affected by the lockout, the income of the league this year has shrunk greatly. David Stern has always hoped to regain the influence of the NBA through an intense and epic finals. Therefore, in David Stern's mind, the most suitable Those who reached the finals were the Big Three Miami Heat in the East and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West.

A group team, determined to be a champion, and another draft team, aiming for a championship, seems to be a lot to watch, but David Stern never expected that the performance of the Spurs would be so strong, sweeping the Jazz in the first round, He didn't think it was a big deal.

"Mickey, everyone can see your contribution to the league. The formation of the Big Three has won many fans for the league."

Mickey Arison smiled, his smile was a bit bitter: "No, David, if the Big Three don't win the championship, it will become a joke."

David Stern patted Mickey Arison's leg: "Believe me, Mickey, the Big Three will definitely win the championship."

Mickey Arison's eyes shine, will he win the championship? Is this equivalent to a promise?

Anxi pulled out, and at the peak of his offense, he took the basketball and rushed in two steps through the pick-and-roll, attracting the defense and then passing the ball immediately.

Kawhi Leonard received the ball, cut in with the ball, rushed to the inside and missed a layup.

James rushed to grab the rebound and protected it. The Heat made a fast break and counterattacked at a fast speed.
