NBA Backer King Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Four quarterbacks

In addition to breaking the ticket record, the ratings are also very high.

The finals were broadcast live nationwide by TNT, and the commentator was the pair of Bill Walton and Kenny Smith.

"It's great, the viewership has already reached 45 million before the game starts, and I think it will break through the 50 million mark soon." Bill Walton said excitedly.

Kenny Smith said: "Last year's finals set a new viewership record, 54 million. This time it should be broken, right?"

"Of course, last year it was the Suns and the Bulls, but this time it was the Knicks and the Lakers, the league's No. 1 ball market and the No. 2 ball city's super showdown, which will definitely break the 54 million ratings record." Bill Walton said excitedly.

New York, David Stern, who was having a headache in labor negotiations, was very happy after receiving the news that the tickets for the finals and the audience rating of G1 had reached 45 million before the start of the game.

He supported the Knicks and other six teams to build championship-level strength in the offseason last year, resulting in a situation where Jordan competes with the old K, and the East and West giants compete for hegemony. Now it has received huge rewards. .

With ratings like the finals, the NBA's current status among the four major sports leagues has actually reached the height of No. 2, but in terms of income, it has not caught up yet. As long as this broadcast contract expires, a new one is signed The contract can complete a transcendence.

Now what he has to do is to resolve this labor-management negotiation, and then take advantage of this stage of the Big Six to push the NBA to the world.

The signature stars of these six teams will be the focus of publicity, especially Jordan and K. He will concentrate all resources to promote them all over the world and create a real world-class super sports in the NBA superstar.

At 7:30, the two teams announced their starting rosters.

Knicks: O'Neal, Oakley, Dale Ellis, Jordan, Charlie Ward

Lakers: Wang Tiejun, Danny Fortson, Rick Fox, Richmond, Kobe

In the visiting team's locker room, Phil Jackson frowned after he got the Lakers' starting roster.

"Phil, what's the matter?"

The finals are about to start, Jordan's attention has entered a state of high concentration, very keenly observed the change in Phil Jackson's expression, and immediately asked.

"Their starting lineup has changed."

Phil Jackson handed the list to Jordan, who took a look and immediately understood that the Lakers were strengthening their perimeter defense.

Three outside lines, without an authentic point guard, so he has an advantage in height.

And these three perimeters, Richmond and Fox's defense are good, Kobe's defense is getting better and better now.

In contrast, the Knicks' perimeter defense and height are a little worse, and they will suffer.

"You guys go out first."

Phil Jackson first let the bench players warm up, there were only five starters left in the locker room, and then said to Jordan:

"Michael, our main lineup can't be changed. After you attract a double team, Ellis can make good use of the space you created, and Charlie can also reduce your physical consumption. At the same time, his offense and defense are not too bad.

What I want to emphasize to you now is that once you are double-teamed, you must see the open space of your teammates, especially Ellis, and play the ball in time. Their perimeter defense is stronger, take the opportunity to play the ball and don't let the open space disappear. "

"Understood." Jordan nodded.

Phil Jackson added: "In addition, you and Shaq must cooperate. You are on the same wing as him, responsible for the offense, Charlie is responsible for passing and opening the defense, and you must play the triangle offense on the strong side. Ellis is in On the weak side, as I said earlier, you have to be quick in your shots and penetrating in your passes."

"I know." Jordan nodded.

"Daller..."

Phil Jackson looked at Ellis again.

Ellis nodded quickly, indicating that he was listening.

As a veteran who came for the championship, and now he has reached the finals, he can contribute everything for the championship.

Phil Jackson said: "You must move in time, not only to get rid of defender Rick Fox, but also to keep yourself exposed to Michael's field of vision, so that he can't see you."

"Understood." Ellis said in a deep voice.

“Charles…”

Phil Jackson looked at Oakley again, and said in a deep voice: "Your task is also very heavy. Fortson is a rebounding monster. Whether we can maintain the balance in rebounding depends on you. At least we can't rebound lost to the Lakers.

In addition, Fordson's offense is not much, you have to pay attention to supplementary defense, whether it is Kobe or Richmond, they have the ability to break through with the ball. "

"OK." Oakley nodded.

"Okay, start meditating now and make the best adjustment. Come, do it with me, take a deep breath..." Phil Jackson emphasized a tactic and led Jordan and others into a state of meditation.

Soon after, the starters of the two teams met in the tunnel.

"Buzz..."

Outside the player tunnel, the huge noise made the arena feel like a monster squatting there breathing out its breath.

"Flying Man, I heard that you will retire after four losses? This is a very correct decision." Pharaoh roared when he saw Jordan from a distance.

"To shut up!"

Hearing the **** four losses again, Jordan roared angrily.

"Haha, am I right?" Old Wang said happily.

"You're wrong, idiot!" Jordan scolded, staring at Pharaoh.

"You idiot, you have lost all four, and you still want to fight against me?" Old Wang cursed back.

"Where did the four lose? This time I will win."

Jordan was so angry that he turned his head and walked towards the exit.

"Ha ha!"

Old Wang looked at Jordan's back and laughed, and said to the Richmond four: "Look, run away, this bird man is afraid of me."

Richmond and the others laughed helplessly, the entire league, only old K can do this to Michael Jordan, if others offend the trapeze, even if a look makes him feel uncomfortable, Michael Jordan can be killed on the court he.

There is a saying in the NBA, you can provoke anyone, but don't provoke black Jesus.

Oakley nodded to Pharaoh, said hello, and went out.

Jordan, who was the finale, went out first. The Knicks had no order of appearance, so O'Neal quickly followed. Before leaving, he wanted to explain a scene and shouted to Pharaoh: "Old K..."

"Shut up and get out with your thighs!" Old Wang scolded.

O'Neal held it in his throat in one breath, his face flushed.

"Ha ha…"

Pharaoh and a group of people laughed in the back.

"Old K, you bastard, there is no end between us." O'Neal threw a harsh word, turned his head and ran out.

"Shark, don't talk nonsense, there is nothing between me and you, you have to be nice, don't look for me." Old Wang shouted from behind.

O'Neal stumbled and nearly landed his head on the floor.

"Ha ha…"

Behind Pharaoh and the others burst into laughter.

The Knicks played out of order, disrupting the rhythm of the live host Mones John. After a chaotic run, it was the home team's turn to play before restoring order, shouting loudly: "Now let's welcome the six-time All-Star, the second in active service. Shooting back, rock Mitch Richmond."

"Clap clap clap..."

With Richmond's appearance, the Great Western Forum Arena burst into warm applause and cheers.

"Peter Pan Kobe Bryant."

"The rebounding monster Danny Fortson."

"Hollywood's best newcomer, future Oscar winner Rick Fox."

All the Lakers substitutes who warmed up first, and the main players who just came out, are all lined up on both sides of the player tunnel, waiting for the last Pharaoh to play.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss and his children, management such as Jerry West and Magic Johnson, friends such as Barkley's dream Pippen Dayao Chenglong, as well as a large number of Hollywood stars, all came to the exit, waiting for the old man. King's appearance.

Zhang Lili said with emotion in the live broadcast: "This is strength, strength wins respect."

Suqun was very excited and said: "Old K has just arrived at the Lakers, he led his team to 74 wins, and led the team to the finals. His personal data is also very good. This is the only reason why he won respect in the Lakers."

TNT live broadcast, Kenny Smith laughed: "It seems that the relationship between Pippen and Jordan has indeed deteriorated. He did not support his former teammates who won two championships together, but stood on the side of old K."

Bill Wharton laughed: "It's been like this for a long time. Old K helped Pippen solve his bankruptcy crisis. He can be regarded as holding the golden thigh of old K."

"Now, let's welcome the great restricted area sweeper, **** conqueror Caesar, king of the Lakers, old KKKKKK!"

The live host Mones John shouted heartily.

“King! King! King…”

All the Lakers fans stood up, raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts of the mountain and tsunami sounded in the Great Western Forum Arena, the momentum was moving.

Pharaoh came out, high-fives with teammates, friends, and management, and led his teammates onto the court. Then Jordan and others also shook hands and hugged.

"Champion! Champ! Champ..."

During this period, the shouting at the scene has become a unified "championship", and the atmosphere of the Lakers' home court has been very strong.

At this time, the host John handed the microphone to Pharaoh, and the scene soon became quiet. Pharaoh raised the microphone with his left hand, forming a "1", and then raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and turned around. a circle.

"12! 12! 12..."

The unified cry of nearly 20,000 people sounded again.

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "The Lakers have won 11 championships, and now, under the leadership of Tie Jun, they are united in their efforts to win the 12th championship."

"Look at Fengshen Street." Su Qun suddenly shouted.

“4! 4! 4…”

At this time, CCTV's camera has been switched to Fengshen Street, and countless fans raised their hands and raised four fingers, shouting neatly.

"Haha, domestic fans are wishing Lao K his fourth personal title." Su Qun laughed.

TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "If the Knicks win, it will be the team's third championship, Michael Jordan's fourth championship.

Now both the trapeze and the old K have three crowns, but Michael has a consecutive championship, plus other hard honors, the old K is still a little behind.

And the trapeze defeating the old K to win the championship will also end the remarks about one loss, two losses and three losses, and end his history of losing to the old K in the finals. This will have a special meaning for Michael Jordan. "

Kenny Smith said: "If the Lakers win the championship, it will be the team's 12th championship, and Old K's personal fourth championship. He will also surpass Michael Jordan in the number of championships and become the real active No. 1 in hard honors. people."

Bill Wharton said with a very serious expression: "We know that Michael Jordan was powerless to refute the remarks that Old K said when he said one loss, two losses and three losses, because he did lose one, two and three.

Now there are many media hyping the news about the four losses, so if the trapeze loses again this time, the situation may become extremely bad for him. "

Kenny Smith couldn't help but nodded and said: "The media will ridicule him very frantically, and Old K will completely surpass him in hard honors, become the real first person in active service, and even lay the foundation for the first person in history. ."

Bill Walton nodded and suddenly asked: "Kenny, I have a question, if the Lakers win this time, then Old K should be considered a consecutive championship, right?"

"certainly."

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "For him personally, it must be a consecutive championship. He is not an ordinary main player. Whether it is in the Suns or the Lakers, he is the core leader of the team. If he wins the championship, it will be very important to him personally. In terms of, of course, to be counted as consecutive championships.

In addition, it is more difficult to complete consecutive championships in different teams as the team leader and core, but at least the gold content will not be low. "

Bill Walton said with some regret: "I think old K should complete a real consecutive championship defense in the Lakers, that is perfect."

"You think he doesn't want to?" Kenny Smith laughed.

"Haha, I'm afraid he is not only thinking about defending the championship, but also a dynasty." Bill Walton laughed.

Kenny Smith shook his head and said with emotion: "With his strength and in the Lakers again, it would be weird if he didn't want a dynasty."

Eight o'clock will come, the game will officially start, and players from both sides will play.

"Victory!"

On the Knicks side, all the players surrounded Jordan and O'Neal, shouting today's slogan.

"Victory! Victory! Victory..."

Three thousand away fans started to shout heartily, trying to create momentum for the team on the road and boost the team's morale.

New York is richer than Los Angeles. This time, they took 3,000 away tickets from the Lakers. However, when the Lakers played away games, they also got the same 3,000 away tickets. The two sides agreed.

"Shhh!"

Seeing that the visiting team wanted to play at the Lakers' home court, the Lakers fans immediately quit. Immediately, the shocking boos sounded, which was deafening.

"Champion! Champ! Champ..."

Wang Tiejun directly called out their goal with his teammates, without any cover, what they wanted was the championship.

"Championship! Championship..."

Soon, a unified cry rang out from the Great Western Forum Arena.

The two sides then came on the court, Wang Tiejun and O'Neal stood in the middle circle, and the scene began to quiet down.

The big shark at this time was no longer the funny big shark, his eyes were very serious, even serious, he stared at Lao Wang and said, "Old K, Michael lost one, two and three to you in the finals, I won't, I I will always beat you, one, two, three."

Pharaoh's eyes widened at once, turned his head to look at Jordan, Jordan's eyes were spitting fire, and the target was O'Neal.

"Ha ha…"

Couldn't care about the jump ball, Pharaoh took the lead, and the Lakers burst into laughter.

"Puff!"

Even the referee who was holding the ball and was about to throw it into the sky couldn't help laughing and squirting, and the whistle biting his mouth was squirted out.

"What happened on the field?"

Including the narrator, countless people are looking forward to deciphering.

“Michael…”

O'Neal realized that he had made a mistake, turned his head to look at Jordan in embarrassment, and wanted to explain something, but the referee didn't give him a chance.

"Okay, stop being funny, get ready to jump the ball."

The referee wiped off his smiling face, covered his face, and was very serious.

"I'm not funny."

O'Neal couldn't help muttering.

"Di!"

With a whistle, the basketball was thrown into the sky.

"Snapped!"

The distracted O'Neal was half a beat slower, Pharaoh took off and took the ball away first, and the Lakers attacked.

"here we go!"

Zhang Lei took a deep breath.

Behind the center line, Kobe moved forward with the ball, and Charlie Ward greeted him.

Suqun immediately explained: "Jordan played against Richmond, and the matchup between the league's No. 1 and No. 2 shooting guards began. This is their first finals matchup."

Zhang Lili said: "The league has four shooting guards, the Air Jordan, the Rock Richmond, the glider Drexler, and the madman Sprewell.

But Iverson has emerged, and he has now replaced the retired glider as one of the new four quarterbacks.

The digital team did not make it to the playoffs. Madman locked his throat at the head coach at the beginning of this season and was suspended by the league. The remaining two made it to the finals. "
