The Rest, Only Noise

No matter which aspect you look at, the NBA's conference finals are very interesting.

The Lakers and the Trail Blazers are old enemies. They fought endlessly as early as the shoti 1.0 era. It was not until the summer of 1991 that the tragic master was infected with HIV and indirectly killed the shoti Lakers. Jordan and the Trail Blazers were officially on the throne of the Western Conference. .

They have sat on this throne for six years, and they have indeed reached the finals for six consecutive years, but they have not brought back a championship for the West.

Now the Lakers are still playing against the Trail Blazers, Jordan is still the same Jordan, and the head of the Lakers has become Wilson. This is the second consecutive year that they have met in the Western Conference Finals.

Last time, Jordan won. For Wilson, the way to prove himself seems to be endless. When he won the first championship in New York, others said that he was deprived and Jordan was blown up. This is because the team is better. Win the championship. When he won seven consecutive championships in New York, his evaluation surpassed Jordan.

However, when he lost to the Trail Blazers in the Lakers, the teammate argument came again.

As if if he can't lead the Lakers to victory over Jordan's Trail Blazers, New York's seven championships will also fade away.

As for Jordan, it's even simpler.

In the thirteen years since he entered the league, he has experienced too many failures. Riley said that this year is not only the last dance, but also the last chance for the Blazers to win the championship.

Jordan did his best for this and didn't want to leave any regrets.

In the East, the Knicks and Celtics are also old enemies.

I think it was the Knicks who pulled the Celtics off the throne.

Now the Knicks have serious internal friction. Although the Celtics are not as good as the lineup, the chemical reaction is perfect. The whole team is united, which is a good time for revenge.

"Just as no monster fan should miss the Jurassic Park sequel, a true basketball fan should not miss the conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers."

NBC's game preview played loudly.

The marketing surrounding the Lakers is massive.

Even the second installment of "Jurassic Park," now in theaters, is part of the hype.

When "Jurassic Park" hit theaters that year, Wilson and Ewing played passers-by who were trampled to death by dinosaurs as easter eggs in the film.

Therefore, a reporter asked Wilson if he was involved in the filming.

Wilson said excitedly: "Of course, but this time I won't be trampled to death again."

"What about Patrick, does he have a role?"

Wilson made a small joke: "As far as I know, Patrick will be eaten by dinosaurs this time. He seems to have a habit of being ruled by giant beasts."

To the media, Wilson was a pun.

Doesn't this mean that Ewing will be severely manipulated by Sampson?

In addition to making a game plan for Ga1, Louis also had to make an idea for Wang Zhidao.

Wang Zhiyou ended his college season not long ago. Although he reached the top three with Kangda, he was eliminated in the top sixteen.

Today, Wang Zhiyou is already the core of Kangda's inside line. In the latest season, he averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block per game, and he has a lottery prospect.

He is widely viewed by scouts as a contemporary Jake Sikma.

Wang Zhidao's idea is to participate in the draft this year, because his body and skills are mature enough, and there is no point in continuing to play in the NCAA.

UConn is very supportive of his candidacy, because his draft market is very good.

The resistance lies with domestic parents.

Wang Zhizhi's parents felt that it would not be too late to start a career after graduating from university.

Wang Zhizhi's idea is to play professionally first, with regard to academic qualifications, and then slowly take care of it later. Now there are many players who give up their studies to participate in the draft, because no one knows whether their market will decline in the next draft year.

Louis agrees with Wang Zhizhi's idea of ​​participating in the draft early, because this year's draft is controllable. As long as he avoids some pitfalls, he can even choose the most suitable team for Xiao Wang as his NBA career.

"But.

.. My old man is having a hard time..."

Xiao Wang said helplessly.

"Don't worry, let me tell you from your parents, what you have to do now is to go through all the formalities and seriously prepare for the draft."

It is easy to convince the royal father and the queen mother, as long as they realize that Xiao Wang is participating in the draft now, he can become a multi-millionaire(1), and if the development goes well, it is not impossible to earn more than 100 million in the future.

For a degree that can be obtained through tutoring and re-examinations, is it really worthwhile to make the prospect of being worth more than 100 million yuan uncertain?

The point of these two things is that you can choose to have them all, and there is no conflict.

After a long talk, Louis convinced the royal father and the queen mother. So far, there is no obstacle for Xiao Wang to participate in the draft in advance.

Next, Louie only needs to focus on Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Blazers.

The difference between the two teams can be found by watching the warm-up before the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are a typical veteran team, showing no trace of youthful energy trying to please the crowd.

They shot shots in an orderly manner, lined up for layups, and did some basic passing and cutting cooperation.

Just looking at their warm-ups, you will definitely not feel the sense of urgency of the division finals.

The Lakers are different here.

Young people are the ones who best interpret infinite possibilities in the world.

They used the dazzling on-the-spot dunk contest to attract the audience's attention.

This is a small game within the Lakers.

They actually hold a slam dunk contest before the game, and there are two prerequisites, one is that you can make a variety of dunks, and the other is a $300 bet.

The former blocked people like Nash who had never dunked in actual combat in his life, and the latter added fun to the game.

It is the live audience who are responsible for scoring.

The rules are simple, the contestants average three dunks, and the dunk that causes the greatest reaction on the scene wins.

The people participating today are Kobe, Garnett, Big Ben, and Rodman.

In the end, it was Kobe who won the big victory.

Even if it is the most watered dunk king in NBA history, it must be a dunk king, just like the most gold-worthy championship in history, no matter how people belittle it, a champion is a champion, after all, it is better than no championship.

Kobe won the championship with a small windmill two steps inside the free throw line, and the warm-up before the game ended.

"We not only want to avenge last year's revenge this year," Louis glanced at the players, "we also want to end the curse earlier than Susan Lucci!"

Everyone got on Louie's joke and acted in high spirits.

"Of course, Coach!"

Subsequently, the Lakers' @starter debut tonight, namely Baros, Liu Yuqing, Wilson, Barkley, Garnett. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Opposite the Blazers, @starting is (Derrick) Fisher, Jordan, (Rex) Chapman, (Clifford) Robinson, Olajuwon.

The most surprising thing about this lineup is that Riley put first-year rookie Fisher in @starting.

"Yo, there's a rookie @starter in Portland?" Louie said deliberately, "Bean, look at him, you have to work hard."

Kobe thought to himself, as long as Louie believed in him, he would be as good as anyone as @starter.

But... It's not a question of Lu Yixiang not believing him, but a question of whether he is suitable for @starting.

Even Kobe has to admit that there are not many people who can shake the Lakers' @starting second position at this stage.

The two sides @首选 each set their positions, and only waited for the referee to throw the ball into the air.
