The Way of the Center

On the south bank of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, lies a very old industrial city, Cleveland, the second largest city in Ohio.

But now, the city has long lost its glory in the 1950s. After the decline of large industries, Cleveland's population and economy are declining at a very rapid rate. This small town is full of traces left by the era of big industry. The whole city looks very old, with large factories and old high-rise buildings everywhere.

However, Cleveland's sports, like this small city, have a short period of glory, and then they are like shooting stars across people's sight and memory.

Whether it's basketball, baseball or football, Cleveland's professional sports teams have never won a championship that symbolizes the highest honor. Other teams with a long history have already made outstanding achievements, but the people of Cleveland have not had the same honor so far.

However, this gloomy page was turned over in 2003. In 2003, the pride of the Cleveland people, the darling of heaven, parachuted into the NBA, and the Cleveland people had another hope.

LeBron James, this is almost the hero of all Cleveland people. As long as he is in the Cavaliers, the Cleveland people seem to have hope of winning the championship.

Just in 2007, when everyone in Cleveland thought their embarrassing record was about to be broken, the Chosen One was defeated by the old-fashioned trio.

4-0, the Spurs ruthlessly swept the Cavaliers in the finals, allowing young James to experience how bumpy the road to winning is. The phrase "the future is yours" that Duncan said to James after the game is more like a comforting word.

But in James' heart, there will always be a heart that yearns for a championship. Every season, he will use his performance to beat all opponents and launch an impact towards the highest glory of the nba.

Even if he is about to face the Thunder, which has won five consecutive victories and is gaining momentum, James will not be timid. He is not afraid of anyone. Even if Jordan and Kobe stand in front of him, he will not be eclipsed.

Prior to this, the Cavaliers have won two consecutive victories, and in these two games, the Cavaliers have won their opponents by more than 15 points! Among them, in the last game against the Nuggets with Anthony, James scored 33 points and 10 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was as high as 65%! And "Little Melon" Anthony, under the pressure of James, only scored 13 points on 5 of 14 shots.

Even James, who is in good shape, can't stop him, let alone a sophomore rookie Durant.

"The Thunder have won five consecutive victories, and they also defeated the Spurs. Do you feel confident?" Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown watched the video of the Thunder's game against the Spurs. The core James communicates.

Although the Spurs' lineup has changed greatly compared to the season when they played in the finals, the team's backbone gdp has not changed. As long as these three people are there, the Spurs will still be the Spurs, but the team that can beat the Spurs must not be easy. James did not underestimate the Thunder, even though the backbone of the Thunder team is only three rookies, two of whom are first-year students.

"It's very impactful and energetic, and our inside line is bound to suffer great challenges!" Thinking of his two old inside teammates Ilgauskas and Ben Wallace, James had to sweat for them . These two people will definitely struggle when facing the impact of Thunder Three Young Masters!

"Yes,

And their team rotation is also very reasonable. Jeff is still the same guy, and he is very good at arranging the team rotation. "Mike Brown paid more attention to Jeff Van Gundy's tactical arrangements.

This handsome general pointed at the video of the Thunder team in the office. As the protagonist in the video, everyone in the Thunder team didn't know that they had received such attention.

The home game against the Cavaliers led by James, the future No. 1 player in the league in the media, is destined to make Thunder owner Clayburner very happy again. Because all the tickets for this game were sold out two days ago, and the ticket price was very high.

"You did a great job, Sam." Bennett looked at the Thunder's financial statements for this season with satisfaction. Both the average attendance rate and jersey sales have increased a lot compared to last season.

There is no doubt that the reason for the increase in income is the outstanding performance of the team. The reason why the team's performance is outstanding is precisely because Presti has a keen eye for the bead, and has continuously brought Durant, Westbrook, Anjie and Jeff Van Gundy to the team.

These few people made the Thunder team popular, and the results of the Thunder team naturally made these guys shine.

No, just a few days ago, the nba officials found An Jie and asked him to shoot an official nba advertisement called "A Miracle Happens Here". However, the choice of An Jie is undoubtedly due to his commercial value, which has been in the limelight recently. A Chinese player, who was not favored at the beginning and was suppressed by the head coach, now shines in the NBA arena, which will undoubtedly further increase the influence of the NBA in China.

An Jie didn't need to take too many shots for this commercial, because most of the content of the commercial was composed of previous photos, so the shooting of this commercial did not delay An Jie's training and preparations, and An Jie was so relaxed. This increased his popularity, and by the way, he made back all the money he spent on buying a house and a car, and he made it several times!

"Friends from the audience, welcome to CCTV to bring you the 2008-09 NBA regular season game. Today we will broadcast live the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the Oklahoma City Thunder led by Chinese player An Jie!" Of course However, the fact that An Jie led the Thunder only appeared in the mouths of the Chinese commentators.

"In the last game against the Raptors, Anjie didn't perform very well, but when the reporter interviewed Thunder coach Van Gundy, he didn't worry about Anjie's competitive state at all. Li guides you to talk about it, Anjie What was it about Jay's performance that impressed Van Gundy?" The game hadn't even started yet, and CCTV didn't have the habit of broadcasting pre-match ceremonies, so they started chatting nonsense.

The two narrators were rote, but they wanted to give An Jie a thumbs up anyway. In the end, the reason why Jeff Van Gundy wasn't worried about Anjie's status had nothing to do with what the two of them said.

"Okay, thank you Director Li for your analysis. Let's start with an advertisement, and the competition will start immediately!"

After a few boring commercials, the TV screen suddenly went blank, and the melodious and deep piano piece everyday composed by Carli Kamando slowly came out from the TV speaker.

The white picture slowly turned black, and the picture of An Jie shooting a basketball on the street court appeared on the left side of the screen. Except for An Jie, who was in color, all the backgrounds were black and white. Next to An Jie's photo, a phrase "Life begins from now on" slowly appeared.

"16, shine here." On the screen, there is a photo of the back of Anjie's jersey with his hands on his hips. On the back of the Thunder's white jersey, there is a big blue number 16 and the letters "an" in blue.

"The key is to proceed here." The last shot of Anjie's lore against Stanford University was still the same. Except for him, the two Lopez brothers and all the backgrounds were black and white.

"Confrontation, show it here." An Jie punched Yao Ming's photo on his back, and the expressions of both of them were very focused.

"Friendship continues here." In the photo of An Jie and Westbrook clapping hands, the two young people laughed wantonly.

"Victory, obtained here." The photo of An Jie defending Duncan's last shot, Duncan's subtle expression changes were also captured.

After that, the main color of the screen gradually changed from black to white, and the NBA logo slowly appeared, and a row of black characters appeared under the logo, "A miracle happened here."

The sound of the piano music gradually became quieter, and the short advertisement ended, but it made everyone feel unsatisfied, and they couldn't wait to watch the next nba game.

"The ad just now was filmed by the NBA with An Jie as the protagonist. The ad is very creative, and it is also rare to use a rookie player as the protagonist." There is no reason for the cctv commentator not to use the topic.

"Okay, the advertisement has already given a good warm-up to this game, and now, the game has begun!"

James focused on the three young men of the Thunder. No matter who the opponent was, victory was his only goal!

Is lightning no match for a knight's lance? The battle is imminent! (To be continued.)
