NBA Backer King Chapter 523

   At this time, outside the Great Western Forum Arena, a lot of fans had gathered, and countless fans were wearing golden No. 31 jerseys. By 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was already crowded.

   "The King of the Lakers! The King of the Lakers! The King of the Lakers..."

   After six o'clock, Pharaoh's car came to the outside of the arena and slowly drove to the entrance of the parking lot surrounded by countless fans.

   Hearing the cheers of the fans, Pharaoh took the initiative to open the car window and greet the fans.

  Although he played a beautiful regular season, he has not yet won a championship for the Lakers. These Lakers fans have always called him the king of the Lakers, giving him a lot of pressure.

In the Western Conference Finals, the average price of the Lakers' home tickets was 70% higher than that of the second round, reaching as high as $1,930, and the minimum ticket was $620, but the supply was still in short supply, especially for front-row tickets, which cost tens of thousands of dollars each, and it was still hard to find a single ticket.

  In this era, such high ticket prices are already very terrifying, representing the powerful high spending power of Los Angeles.

  Pharaoh's family did not sit in the private room today, but sat below, but did not sit in the front row, they sat in the third row. The first two rows were given to Barkley and Lightning.

   On the huge hanging screen, there is a specific message of Dabao eating popcorn from time to time. Every time it appears, Dabao will wave his little hand with a smile and say hello after seeing it.

   At 7:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

   Trail Blazers: Olajuwon, Duncan, Walter Williams, Isaiah Ryder, Damon Stoudemire

  Lakers: Wang Tiejun, Danny Fortson, Richmond, Kobe, Mark Price

  The Western Finals will be broadcast live nationwide by ABC TV, with narrators Rango Gomez and Morton Elanton.

Elanton said: "The Western Conference finals, this is a series of great attention. The Lakers packaged Tim Duncan and Da Meng for the old K, and now Da Meng and Duncan led the Blazers to the front of the Lakers. If The Lakers lost the Western Conference finals, haha, I wonder what the management would think?"

   Gomez said with a smile: "The Lakers will definitely not regret regretting it, even if they lose this time."

   "Why?" Elanton asked.

   Gomez said: "Because the big dream is already old, the state has declined a little this season, and it will only decline more next season, so we should only compare the old K and Duncan.

   We are all saying that Duncan is the peak of his debut, and his rookie season is a 20+10 performance, but you have to see who he is compared with.

  Comparing him with Old K, just comparing the data, it is a lot worse. If you compare the performance of the match, he belongs to the side that has been crushed this season. If you compare the age, he is only three years younger, or even a little less than three years old.

   And old K has been playing for six years without major injury problems. We cannot arbitrarily say that his prime is almost over.

   So I think that the Lakers will not regret it. In terms of personal strength, the record of the team this season, the influence of stars and the economic benefits brought to the team, the old K is unique. "

   "When you say that, I can only agree, haha." Elanton laughed.

The two ended this topic and started another topic, Gomez said: "The Blazers optimized the lineup before the All-Star, traded the original main small forward Gary Trent for Walter Trent. williams.

Gary Trent has no three-pointers and can't open the defense for the inside line. The inside line is easy to be double-teamed. Now Williams has three points. The regular season three-point shooting rate has reached 34.4% this season, but the most surprising thing is Yes, he shot 46 percent from 3-point range in the first two rounds of the series. "

Morton Elanton said: "Duncan and Big Dream are both people who can attract double-teams. They compress defenses in the low post and create open opportunities for the perimeter. This is the reason for the increase in three-point shooting from the outside. It's always more accurate to score than to shoot against a defender."

   "Morton, who do you think has a better chance of reaching the finals?" Gomez asked.

   "Five or five."

Elanton said something, and added: "The Blazers are strong in attack and defense, and the fourth and fifth positions are balanced. Both Duncan and Da Meng can be the core of tactics, and the starting point and ending point of the attack can be powerful in the low post. cooperation.

   And the Lakers' inside line is stronger than that of Old K, and the No. 4 position is weaker. It is not as balanced as the Trail Blazers, and there is little cooperation with each other. Only Old K unilaterally points the ball to the vacant position of No. 4.

   However, the Blazers also have a lot of weaknesses. The bench lineup is not as good as the Lakers. The main back line is ineffective and undefended. Both Mumbo and Ryder are injured and their state is declining. If the back line is not good, it is likely to be suppressed by the Lakers.

On the inside, with Old K's defense, he might continue to suppress Duncan like in the regular season. If the Blazers can't restrain Old K on the defensive end and can't play an advantage inside, the Blazers might have a hard time. manage. "

  Gomez nodded and said: "Momonga is very threatening to hit Mark Price, I think the Lakers will let Kobe Bryant guard him.

   However, Kobe is afraid that he will not be able to keep up. If Momoko is good, it will be a great threat to the Lakers. "

After looking at the regular season data, Elanton said: "Momong squirrel's performance in the four regular season games was average, because the inside lines of both sides were too strong, his breakthrough space was not enough, and he could not play his speed advantage in many cases. .

  Look at the number of shots he took in the Blazers, far less than when he was in the Raptors, this is proof. "

Gomez nodded and said: "The Blazers have Duncan and Da Meng, and his shots are severely limited. Now playing the Lakers, with an old K, his breakthrough space is smaller, and his shots may be more restricted. Big."

   At this time, the main players of the two teams met in the player tunnel.

   "Why are there only four of you?" Pharaoh looked around, and then looked at the corridor where the pioneers came.

  Stoudemire, the little flying squirrel standing behind the big dream, was furious and jumped, "Old K, you are too arrogant."

   Richmond jokingly said: "Yes, old K, you don't think of dwarfs as human beings."

   "Rock?"

   Momonga stared at Richmond angrily, his eyes burning with fire.

"Ha ha…"

  Pharaoh and the others laughed, as did Da Meng and the others.

Old Wang raised his hand and patted Momonga's head, and pressed it down again, almost pressing Stud Michael to the floor, before he let go of his hand and smiled: "The little mouse is in third grade in a blink of an eye. Dream, we old guys are getting old too, and the future era belongs to these young people."

   "Puff!"

   Kobe and other people laughed.

"Ha ha!"

  Da Meng also shook his head and smiled helplessly.

   Little Momonga said angrily, "Old K, I'm only three months younger than you, so don't even try to betray the old man in front of me."

   Duncan said: "I'm 76 years old, three years younger."

   "Ouch, I forgot, there's a real young man here."

   Old Wang nodded, patted Duncan's head again, patted it, and then encouraged: "Young man, you are the sun at four or five in the morning, the future is yours, the future is boundless, you have to work hard!"

   Duncan nodded honestly: "I won't let you down, old K."

"Ha ha…"

   Kobe made his stomach hurt from laughing in the back.

  The sun at four or five o'clock, I often get up at that time to let the water out, is there the sun at four or five in the morning? That's called a hopeless future. Duncan, you are a fool. You were crippled by the old K.

   Next came the visiting team, and was greeted with a flood of boos. The Lakers fans were not polite at all. Even the big dream that had been rotten for a year at the Lakers was booed with a dull face and a look of bad luck.

   Duncan is the same. According to the media's comments, he is the Lakers' biggest opponent in the finals. He is a bigger threat than the big dream, so he got a lot of boos.

   "Damn, you'd better go back to your island to swim."

   "Stupid, you will be prevented from vomiting blood by old K."

  Many Lakers fans shouted the nickname they gave Duncan and laughed freely.

   "Where did I stay? My smile is very charming, and my heart is very rich and meaningful." Duncan, who was a little sullen, murmured, he still prefers the nickname of Dajiji.

   At this time, the home team played. As the second star of the team, Richmond played first, then Kobe, Danny Fortson, Mark Price, and finally Pharaoh.

   "The King of the Lakers! The King of the Lakers..."

   There was a huge shout in the audience. When Pharaoh came out, the Lakers fans stood up from their seats and raised their arms and shouted.

   The magician who stood on the sidelines to greet the players was a little jealous. The Lakers' enthusiasm has surpassed him back then.

   But there is no way, who makes the old K's data better?

Although Lao K's style is not as gorgeous as his, but the viewing value is even higher than his. The strong style of play, the sense of violence and power, and the strong sense of conquest, are too exciting for the fans. .

   74 wins in the regular season. If he can win the championship this year, he feels that it only takes this season for old K to make him one of the greatest superstars in Lakers history, or even not one of them.

Beside Magician John, is the owner Jerry Buss, and several of his children, then Jerry West, and some famous Lakers, such as Kareem Kareem, Kim Belle, George McCann, James Worthy and more.

  Behind the Blazers' bench, sat the low-key owner Paul Allen. At this time, when Pharaoh came out, he also stood up and applauded.

  Chamberlain stared at the TV in front of him at home, and when he saw a group of famous Lakers appear, his heart ached with anger.

   He should be the only famous Lakers legend who did not receive an invitation, just because he didn't deal with Old K, and the Lakers management was too much. Anyway, he won a championship for the Lakers, and Old K has not yet.

   At this time, Pharaoh walked out of the player tunnel, and gave a high-five to the teammates waiting on both sides, and then the management team such as the owner Bass and West, as well as a lot of Lakers legends.

   humming, the fans were too loud, everyone kept talking, but no one could hear what the other party said.

In Los Angeles in May, the temperature was not high, it was more than 10 degrees at night, but now the temperature in the Great Western Forum Arena has reached more than 20 degrees. Pharaoh ran around the stadium, said hello to friends and acquaintances, and nodded. There was already a thin layer of sweat on it.

   Next, the vice president of the league, Willinger Hans, presented the MVP trophy to Pharaoh.

David Stern has been very busy these few months, and he is in a bad mood. The labor-management negotiations broke down on March 1, and there is still no progress. The league may shut down again. Most of his energy is on that. Time to come to Los Angeles for the awards.

   "MVP! MVP! MVP..."

  Pharaoh raised the trophy, and a huge cry rang out from the Great Western Forum Arena.

   "Congratulations to everyone who likes the NBA, our ratings have exceeded 40 million." When it was almost eight o'clock, Gomez was very excited and authentic in the ABC live broadcast booth.

   In the finals last year, the ratings exceeded 50 million, but 40 million was a rating that was unimaginable before, so he was very excited.

  A strong audience rating symbolizes huge benefits, and it also symbolizes the strong development trend of the NBA. Hearing his words, from Stern to all the players and team owners, they are also very happy.

The league's broadcast contract will end after the 01/02 season, and there are still four seasons left. With the current development trend, as long as a new huge broadcast contract is signed, it will be able to ascend to the position of the second largest sports professional league in North America. .

The old Buss family is more interested, the league is developing better and better, and the Lakers have the new signature star of the league, Old K, so the Lakers will benefit even more. As long as they have superstars with huge appeal and box office appeal, they can play beautifully. 's record, just the regional broadcast contract will be full of oil.

   At eight o'clock, the game officially started.

  Pharaoh and Duncan jumped the ball, the Lakers attacked.

   Entering the frontcourt, he moved to the basket first, Duncan defended from the side, and at the same time, Da Meng was eyeing him not far away, and any troubles could immediately form a double-team against him.

   He suddenly started swinging, circled Duncan for half a circle, stretched his arms, stuck him behind, and succeeded two meters in front of the left of the basket.

The Blazers have three perimeters. The flying squirrel has a bit of stealing ability, but it is limited by height and wingspan, and the defense is average. The defense of the shooting guard Ryder is worse, and the defense of the traded small forward Walter Williams is also average, and the defensive efficiency is not as good as that of the small forward. Momonga, so the entire perimeter defense is not that good.

   The person defending Mark Price is Momo. Although Momo is short enough, Price is only 183 cm tall, not much taller. There is no obvious height advantage, and there is no advantage in tonnage.

   But Price has the advantage of experience. When Pharaoh takes the position, he immediately prepares to pass the ball, and a fake action shakes the Momo.

   This is also the reason why Momonga's defense is not good. The reaction is too fast and too sensitive, but it is too easy to eat fake moves.

   At this time, Old K was about to succeed, and Price immediately passed the ball in.

  Pharaoh catches the ball, Dameng has already jumped to the left, and his big hand has reached out.

   At this moment, according to the tactical requirements, Fordson, who was emptied by the big dream, has followed the big dream and entered the paint area.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball passed through the gap between Da Meng and Duncan, bounced off the ground, and fell into Fortson's hands.

"boom!"

   The next moment, Fortson jumped up from the underside of the big dream, and a fierce two-handed dunk came, causing the Great Western Forum Arena to burst into applause.

   "Da Meng, if you grow taller, you will be able to block my vision." Old Wang teased Da Meng while returning to defense.

   The person who was let go by Da Meng back-cut and said unhappily: "Old K, you don't even hit the first ball yourself, what kind of boss are you?"

   "I want to make my teammates better." Pharaoh said expectantly.

With a bang, Da Meng almost laughed out loud, thinking that if you really do that, old K, I'm afraid your opponent will die of laughter.

   Blazers offense.

   "Rookie, do you want me to introduce a female star to be your wife? Tell me which one you like at the scene."

  Pharaoh accompanied Duncan to the low post, and as he went down, he squeezed Duncan out of the paint area, with trash talking in his mouth.

  Duncan couldn't help but glanced at the female stars on the sidelines, and happened to see Liv Tyler, which is the type he likes very much, and there was a tempting smile on his face.

Liv Tyler was looking at the court, and like other Lakers fans, his eyes were focused on Pharaoh. Just when he saw Duncan's smile, the two of them met, and the silvery smile immediately made her hair stand on end. When he got up, he couldn't help but glared at Duncan.

   At this moment, Momonga made a breakthrough with the ball.

  Mark Price's defense is also average. Now that he is old, he is even worse. He is the weakest link in the Lakers' perimeter defense, so Kobe was arranged to defend the No. 1 position.

   Little Momonga didn't have a chance to make a shot. After entering the paint area, he immediately pulled to the left wing, then split the ball and passed it to Duncan who was two meters away.

   At this moment, Duncan was distracted, and the basketball swooped out of the bottom line in front of him.

   "Tim, are you sleepwalking?"

   On the sidelines, Dunleavy jumped up anxiously. Against a strong team like the Lakers, the opponent was the first player in active duty, Old K. Duncan dared to be distracted as a rookie. Do you want to win?

  Duncan almost died of embarrassment, he was a little fortunate, no one knew that he was lost because of looking at beautiful women, except for the beautiful women themselves.

"Ha ha…"

   Lao Wang almost died laughing.

When    ran to the frontcourt, he asked: "Bloody slut, which one did you like? Tell me, I'll match you up, and the success rate is very high."

   "I'm not boring."

  Duncan said depressedly, he didn't say anything, because the beautiful girl glared at him just now, obviously not interested in him, and it was useless to say it.

"Ha ha…"

  Lord Wang saw Duncan's appearance and knew that this rookie was a slut. He should have taken a fancy to someone just now, but now he's just embarrassed to say it.
