Chapter 500 The 05-06 playoffs begin!
——75 wins and 7 losses! The Cavaliers created the best regular season record in team history and the second-best record in league history!
——The new king has arrived! LeBron has officially announced that he will return to the United States on April 24 and will not miss any series with the Bulls!
——Mike Brown briefly talks about LeBron: I went to Japan to see him once. This guy’s condition and current strength have improved amazingly. I am looking forward to LeBron’s return. That will make the Cavaliers invulnerable and absolutely no one can beat them. ! This guy will use this season to replace Lin Dong and become Lin Dong's new king! Of course, if you want to see LeBron, Lin Dong needs to pass the Lakers first!
——Michael Jordan disputed Mike Brown's opinion. He said he was more optimistic about Kobe Bryant and this year's Lakers. This is a phenomenal team that has the ability to beat any team, including the SuperSonics, of course. Including knights!
——The ABC official website was crowded again. Barkley fought hard for the Supersonics and made the ultimate bet in life: he cannot fall in the same place three times! This time he bet on the Sonics, betting that the Sonics could surpass the Lakers and Cavaliers and win the championship for the fourth time! If the Sonics are defeated by either the Lakers or Cavaliers, he will kiss a cougar on the forehead!
——This puma will be sponsored by boxing champion Tyson!
——Oh, buy it! God bless Barkley!
——Actually, I would rather Barkley and the cougar have a tongue kiss...
The stage for the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony has been set. There are enough topics between the SuperSonics, Lakers and Cavaliers. Any topic that has something to do with it can easily become a hot topic in the United States and even the world.
In the past few days since the end of the regular season, the national media has been reporting like crazy. Coupled with the crazy competition between Nike and Under Armor in the sneaker market, fans across the United States and even basketball fans around the world, such as Dragon Country, Japan, Europe, etc., are now concerned about This playoffs has been plunged into an extreme frenzy of spectatorship.
Those who are optimistic about the Sonics, those who are optimistic about the Cavaliers, and those who are optimistic about the Lakers are fighting on the Internet.
It wasn't until LeBron's interview with ABC TV in Japan was released before he returned that he finally pushed this madness to its peak.
——Lin Dong and I are old rivals. We were destined to be fateful enemies as early as high school. Because of money and this fateful enemy, I lost myself and made mistakes. I fell because of him. It was a low point, but today, I have risen again because of him.
——He is very strong, stronger than ever before. I may not have been willing to admit it before, but now I have to say that he is like the truly omnipotent God in the basketball world!
——But my mission... is to defeat God!
——I have made all preparations. See you at WIN Arena on the 25th!
The Cleveland Cavaliers' WIN Arena... was the former Gund Arena. It was renamed after Lola took over last year.
Of course, this is obviously what Steve Ballmer meant. Taking the first three letters of windows is not only an advertisement for Microsoft, but also represents victory.
At this time, LeBron on the TV screen looked very different from the youth he once had. He looked mature and steady. Especially his eyes, which were different from the hip-hop look that once showed a hint of flattery when facing the audience, had become more mature. It reveals a kind of plainness and depth. Even for people with rich experience, it is difficult to see any unnecessary information in the eyes of this young man in his early twenties.
And this depth and maturity, along with his light words, made the Internet in the United States climax.
When Lin Dong challenged "God" and said the classic saying "God doesn't work on Saturdays," Americans and even the whole world didn't really feel that much.
It's not because this sentence is not domineering enough, but because Lin Dong is not a Christian.
Is it so surprising for a guy who is regarded by the American people as having "no faith" to clamor to "defeat God"? Because there is no concept of God in his consciousness, he naturally has no scruples or fears when saying such things.
But LeBron is different. His mother is a Christian, and he himself is also a devout Christian.
And for a Christian, he dares to say the words "defeat God", even if he is just a reference, even if he is just a metaphor.
Even though there was only calmness in his eyes, the determination and courage that came from his bones were almost coming out from the screen!
——I actually saw a domineering look on the face of a guy in his early 20s...
——Speak the cruelest words in the calmest tone! This guy has grown!
——The Cavaliers have actually been getting along very well in the second half of the season. Kidd and O'Neal have become more and more skilled in cooperation, and the new Artest has integrated quickly. I feel that if LeBron is added to this lineup, The knight is truly invincible!
——The Cavaliers will win! The SuperSonics belong to us, the Lakers don't come to grab the experience package!
——Go away, what's the matter with you knights? After three years of fateful grudges, the SuperSonics must fall at the feet of the Lakers!
——As for you Cavaliers, wash your necks and wait in the finals. Wait for us, the Lakers, to deal with you!
——You are only three years old, and the feud between LeBron and Lin Dong in our family has been five years, hahaha! After five years of grudges, the Sonics belong to our Cavaliers!
——Belongs to us Lakers!
——Belongs to the knight!
——Two defeated generals... We don't care about you, why don't you just fight first?
——Experience Pack Shut up!
——Hahaha, it feels like the aesthetics of American netizens have changed. Didn’t they used to like the kind of characters who said harsh words before the game? Why do you now think that "saying the harshest words in the calmest tone" is a kind of coldness and domineering?
——Once again, the atmosphere of the alliance is not distorted by Lin Dong, but because it is inherently distorted! A work-study student in the Mississippi River stayed in Long Country!
The Internet across the United States was full of joy and noisy. Even people who never watch basketball have been aroused by this war, which seems to have a sense of national participation.
Summer is the offseason for the NFL, and April to June is now the period with the fewest major events in the United States. In previous years, this time was chosen to play the playoffs to avoid overlapping with the Super Bowl of the NFL Finals. However, This year... with the current popularity and topicality on the Internet, it may be difficult to say who is more popular between the NBA and the NFL in the United States today.
The league and the media are naturally very excited about this, but...
April 25th, God Arena in Seattle.
The Memphis Grizzlies players waiting in the locker room had butcher-like murderous looks on their faces.
Do those fans know how difficult it is to reach the playoffs in the Western Conference with so many strong teams?
Since Pau Gasol came to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have mainly used a two-tower inside lineup with Mike Miller and Pau Gasol. It is very similar to the combination of Sakuragi and Chandler in the Supersonics. Super centers will not suffer too much. On the outside, they rely on the shooting lineup of Eddie Jones, Damon Stackmire, Atkins, and Bobby Jackson. The average three-point shooting rate from outside is over 38%. If the timing is correct, it will be a God-stopping existence, and it will also beat the Sonics.
But look at what those bullshit on the Internet are saying? They actually completely ignored this powerful grizzly bear!
Who can bear this?
Frankly speaking, the Grizzlies players couldn't bear it at all.
Everyone knows very well that the SuperSonics are better than themselves, but in terms of lineup, the two teams are actually very similar. Except for the 3rd position, other positions are not disadvantaged at all, and the outside is even more stable than the SuperSonics.
The only difference is that Lin Dong is missing such a sharp knife. Of course, the most terrible thing is that this knife is missing...
"Show some momentum! Give them a surprise in the first game!" Although Pau Gasol is not very old, he is already the spiritual leader of this Grizzlies. After all, he just entered the All-Star lineup this year. This season He also averaged a double-double of 10.6 rebounds and 22.8 points per game: "We are called Grizzlies, not dead bears! No matter who wants to beat us, they have to lose a piece of their skin!"
More than a dozen players, who were beaten to death, roared OHOH, causing the locker room to buzz, and then more than a dozen hands overlapped.
"The Grizzlies must win!"
"The Grizzlies must win!"
The Grizzlies came out with a murderous streak!
Pau Gasol's eyes were full of fighting spirit and anger.
Frankly speaking, whether it is Pau Gasol or other Grizzlies players, they actually know that their chances of qualifying are slim, but they are not to the point of being ignored before the game starts, right? Don't we, the Grizzlies, deserve to play against the Sonics?
Almost no one on the entire Internet and media predicted the outcome of the two teams. They were all talking about the SuperSonics playing the Lakers in the second round... funny!
Mud Bodhisattva still has three points of fire energy, let alone a... no, a group of grizzly bears!
Even if you lose, you have to decide how to lose.
A big score of 4:0 is absolutely unacceptable. At least we have to win one or two games, preferably at the SuperSonics' home court.
Once they really win the SuperSonics' home court, the value of all Grizzlies players will rise directly out of thin air.
So even if we can't restrict Lin Dong, we still have to restrict everyone else in the Sonics. Let Lin Dong fight alone and tire out that bastard who destroyed the balance of the alliance!
——Dear friends, here is the first game of the Western Conference first round of the 2005-06 playoffs on ABC TV, the SuperSonics VS Grizzlies!
——It can be seen that the players on the Grizzlies team are full of murderous intent. They are not afraid because their opponent is the SuperSonics, which has won three consecutive championships. In fact, this Grizzlies team is both offensive and defensive, and it is also a very strong team. If they go In the East, at least it is also in the top three.
——Furthermore, the Memphis Grizzlies have played against the SuperSonics four times in the regular season, with two wins and two losses. As a perimeter-oriented team, the Grizzlies' perimeter is undoubtedly more stable and better. This also confirms the Grizzlies' perimeter. The power of the bear! I'm afraid the SuperSonics will be in trouble in today's game...
The sweet anchor Doris spoke passionately in front of the camera, but before she could finish her words, Buckley next to her interrupted her directly.
"Sonics in trouble? Facing a grizzly bear? Oh, little Doris, are you serious?"
Doris was slightly startled. Although according to the above arrangement, Barkley played the SuperSonics and she played the visiting team, she had not finished speaking just now.
I feel like Barkley is a little fanatical today...
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Buckley, and the camera turned to Buckley's face. She saw that Buckley sitting next to her looked thinner than before.
There is no way, in fact it is not Feizhu who is losing weight, it is mainly because of worry.
Some time ago, the executives of ABC TV station tried to persuade him for a long time, just to let Buckley use his 'bet' to boost the TV station's ratings.
Nowadays, although the whole country is paying attention to the NBA playoffs, ABC TV station does not need to do extra publicity, but it does not promote the game, it has to promote itself... The NBA is not only broadcast by ABC, but also by TNT and some networks. TV and the like, these channels will take away a lot of viewership from ABC. After all, they are all NBA games. Is it the same wherever people watch them?
But if Barkley gets his betting business going, then you can come to ABC to watch both sports and entertainment, and it will naturally attract more viewers.
Under all kinds of coercion and inducement, Buckley finally overcame his psychological barriers and agreed.
Moreover, we can no longer bet on the Sonics losing this time. After all, he is just a commentator. If he is too biased, he will easily be sprayed by fans.
So he chose to bet that the Sonics would win... This kind of bet was just a show, and whoever lost or won had nothing to do with him.
SuperSonics fans definitely don't dislike him, and fans of the Cavaliers and Lakers, I have supported him for a long time. It's the team's own failure, and you can't blame me.
But who would have thought that just after I said this on the live broadcast, I was immediately teased.
ABC executives told him that it was not good to have a relationship with dogs all the time and that they would give him a cat this time.
It's just a cat, and it loves to be cleaner than dogs. Buckley thought it was probably a Persian or a goldenrod, or else it was a hairless Beerus, but he didn't expect it to be a puma...
During this period of time, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't dare to read more on the Internet. I even got to the point where I would get severely nauseous when I heard words like "cat" and "lion". How could I not lose weight!
It wasn't until the past two days, when I watched the SuperSonics' invincible videos from the previous three playoffs, that I could finally eat something.
If Barkley used to sit here and comment on various teams and the results of various games, most of the time he was just doing shows, and he actually had no bias in his heart.
So now... Barkley really wants the Sonics to win.
He even hypnotized himself!
Even if God loses, the Sonics will not lose!
"The Grizzlies can't cause trouble for the SuperSonics. Today's game will be clean and tidy!" Barkley said boldly: "There is a reason why the Grizzlies won the two games against the SuperSonics in the regular season. The SuperSonics' outside line is adjusting to adapt. With the league's new rules and whistleblowing standards, Lin Dong has been deliberately reducing his shots during the regular season to give more opportunities to the outside..."
"But this is the playoffs! The playoffs are different. You have to give yourself time to adjust your physical condition and reduce the risk of injury, especially when the Sonics' next opponent is most likely to be the Lakers. !”
blow? Of course you have to blow! And brag about it!
If you dare not brag about hitting a grizzly bear, and if it is dangerous to hit a grizzly bear, will you let me live?
Barkley has already understood his position clearly. More than just bragging, if the Sonics lose, he will want to give up his job at ABC and run away!
Whoever falls in love with a cougar or something, I won’t fall in love with!
Anyone can lose this year, but the Sonics must win!
"Just wait and see!" Barkley said viciously, like he was swearing: "The SuperSonics will clock out in the first half, and the series will be over within 4 games! I'm telling you! No matter who the opponent is, it won't work! "
Doris opened her mouth and looked at the completely transformed flying pig in front of her. She probably guessed some of his thoughts, but she also felt a little dumbfounded. This was too deep into the drama.
And just at this moment...
beep!
The two hosts forgot to speak just now, but the time has come. The director reminded in the headset and pulled the screen camera directly to the scene. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the basketball high. to the air.
The 2005-06 season playoffs begin!
