669: I'm going to bet this with you, hand-to-hand combat is back? (4.3K(1/2)
The selection results of this year's NBA All-NBA Team made Stern feel extremely crisis-ridden.
Best team, Paul, Kobe, James, Durant, Wayne.
Best second team, Parker, Turtle, Anthony, Duncan, Gasol.
Best third team, Wade, Harden, George, David Lee, Howard.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem.
But to Stern, the list is downright terrifying.
Kobe, who has declined severely, can still reach his best team.
Duncan and Parker, who are already outdated, can still occupy two positions in the second team.
And rookies like Harden and Turtle who have made the All-NBA team actually don't have any superstar status now.
To put it bluntly: there are too few superstars in their prime in this league!
The NBA seems to have entered a period of slack.
This is also true. During this period of time, the NBA was probably in a state of sluggishness.
It wasn't until Harden, Curry and others completely emerged that the generational change was finally completed.
At this juncture when a new broadcast contract is about to be signed, this situation is indeed very difficult.
In any case, this year's finals are very important to the league from a strategic perspective.
If this game can improve word-of-mouth and ratings, then there will be room for bargaining when signing a new contract.
Wayne and James are considered the two top leaders in the league right now.
Logically speaking, the finals between the two of them should be exciting.
But so far, the two sides have met twice in the finals, and James has won one game in total...
This is obviously inconsistent with the two identities.
This year, Stern decided to let go of all restrictions and let Wayne and James decide the game themselves.
He believes that these two superstars definitely have the ability to make the ratings explode!
Two days before the start of the finals, Naochi came all the way with his wife and daughter, specially bringing gifts to visit the Wayne family.
Mainly here to see the new member of the Wayne family, Kobe's own godson.
"When did you become the godfather of my child? How come I didn't know..." Looking at Najia giving himself a title, Wayne felt that his understanding of the word "face" became deeper.
"Oh, this is what my wife and I discussed. After all, you don't need your consent for this kind of thing, right?"
Wayne:......
God doesn’t need my consent...this is my son!
You have the ability to give birth on your own!
"Look at this little guy, he's so energetic! I think his bones are amazing. He will definitely be a good material to save the basketball world in the future.
From now on, it will be up to me to teach him how to play basketball!
After all, ahem...you are just a senior blue-collar worker.
If you really want to learn technology, you have to learn from me. Don’t worry, Brother Wei, I won’t charge you.
Your son is my son, my daughter...that is still my daughter."
Najia looked at Wayne's son and narrowed his eyes proudly.
Instead of torturing your own children...it's better to torture other people's children!
"Come on, if I learn how to play basketball from you, he will probably publish a book in the future called "I Really Just Want to Strike Iron."" Wayne couldn't help but hit back.
"Don't worry, even if I really want to publish a book, the name will be called "My Shooting is So Accurate". If he likes basketball, I will definitely train him to become a superstar!"
Wayne: Bah! You're the only one who can shoot the ball so accurately! Why don't you ask what you should do if you're so good at basketball? You're shameless!
The chatter became more and more exciting, but Wayne had already begun to worry about his son.
A godfather and a godfather. One has an IQ problem and the other has a psychological problem!
My son, your growth path is destined to be a 90° turn - if you are not careful, you will overturn.
In the evening, the two families gathered together for dinner. A preview program of the finals was playing on the TV.
So, inevitably, Wayne and Kobe talked about basketball again.
"The Heat are very strong this year. They have won 27 consecutive games. Can they handle it?"
"It's so funny, why don't you call James and ask James if he can win 75 games against the Trail Blazers."
"I see, you may not be able to win this year. Because the Heat's mental attributes are very strong, they would go crazy to win the championship.
Last season, they were a little arrogant. But this season, Miami people will never make mistakes."
Seeing Nao Nai competing with himself, Wayne suddenly came up with a plan.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you, let's follow the rules of the world and make a bet!"
Is Nagging the kind of person who can swallow his anger? As soon as he said this, he immediately slapped the table: "Okay, what are you betting on? Let me make it clear first, I don't kiss butts, not any butts."
"Tch, it's more exciting than kissing your butt. If I lose in this year's finals, my son will be renamed...Wei Kobe!"
"Hahahaha, you said it! So...what if I lose?"
"If I win the finals and establish a dynasty, then... you will never be able to fly in a helicopter in your life, do you dare!?
After all, changing my son's name is a lifelong matter for me, and you also have to bet on it for a lifetime."
After Wayne finished speaking, Nao Zai was obviously stunned for a moment.
What are you saying about a helicopter and not a helicopter? You are telling the truth.
Seeing Nao Cai's face full of doubts, Wayne then explained: "I just thought of it, what do you think? Just tell me whether you dare to bet or not. Don't leave any ink."
"I'm laughing to death. Is there anything in this world that I dare not talk about? Just bet. If I lose, I will sell the helicopter at home immediately and never fly it again in my life! But if you lose, I will limit you to three days.
I will take my son to change his name soon!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Wayne laughed, it was indeed a joke, he could bite such a straight hook.
Some people are alive, but living is really a waste of air.
But some people...
You should really live a good life.
Because of the bet with Wayne, the Nacha family also decided to stay a few more days and go to the Rose Garden to watch the Blazers VS Heat game before leaving.
Wayne's free tickets also came in handy once in a while.
The day before the game started, Carlisle was still nervously preparing for the game.
Because the three-point tactic was so successful in the last round, Carlisle also decided to continue using this idea.
Of course, to beat the Heat, the most important thing is to play inside!
The regular lineup with Gasol as the starter will reappear.
Only when the inside line is opened and penetrated can the Heat double-team.
Once the Heat are double-teamed, the Trail Blazers can fire a volley of three-pointers.
As for the Heat, Coach Spoelstra doesn't have to do so much.
Just one sentence: Give the ball to the Big Three!
The Heat are a team driven by stars and rely heavily on stars.
Although the current Heat has a certain system, it is still relatively simple and crude.
Spoelstra has nothing to prepare for. The Big Three will win if they can, and there's nothing he can do if they can't win.
Both sides feel that they are fully prepared, and June 6 has quietly arrived.
Today, the programs on TV to build momentum for the finals can be described as majestic.
The competition only started in the evening, but in the early morning, major TV stations had already started special programs for the finals.
I specifically reviewed the Heat's 27-game winning streak and the Trail Blazers' 26-game winning streak.
Then, he briefly reviewed the Blazers' legendary 75-win regular season.
In short, the NBA must remind fans all the time: This is a confrontation between the two greatest teams!
Their regular season record was impeccable, and they were evenly matched in the playoffs.
Where can I find this kind of duel like Mars hitting the Earth!
I beg all you brothers to take a look!
I have to say that such crazy momentum is still useful.
On the evening of June 6, when the live broadcast of the game officially started, the initial ratings of the game had already exceeded the ratings of the previous Eastern and Western Conference Finals.
Moreover, the game has not officially started yet.
Many people who watch the live broadcast don't actually watch the preview program. They wait for the game to start and then turn to the channel to watch it.
To be continued...
