Chapter 246 Lynnard?(1/3)
This sentence was said by Kobe during an exclusive interview with CCTV in 2013. It was later broadcast on "Basketball Park" and became one of Kobe's golden sayings.
Lin Ying spoke subconsciously, revealing his desire for the championship.
But now that we have come this far, it would be a lie to say that we have no ideas about the championship.
"Ah sneeze!"
At the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant, who had just finished training, sneezed violently.
It always feels like something is missing.
…
After being interviewed by reporters, Lin Ying and Allen went to the video room to study the video.
Before the game against the Cavaliers was decided, he was repeatedly studying James' offensive habits.
He is making progress, and James is actually making progress too.
It may be strange to say it, but in terms of defensive difficulty alone, James is the highest this season.
In history, after leaving the Heat, he gained weight and played the fourth position, which increased his breakthrough damage, but his agility was much reduced, making him easier to target.
Or to use a more vivid metaphor, James was a tank at that time, but James at this time is a sports car.
What Lin Ying has to do is not only limit his breakthrough, but also limit his start and catch, otherwise the starting speed will make him disappear.
As he watched, some pictures emerged in Lin Ying's mind unconsciously.
"Lin, Lin."
Someone was calling him.
It's Allen.
It turned out that his video had finished playing and he didn't even know it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Allen couldn't help but ask.
"Thinking of someone."
"who?"
"Ke...you don't know him, he should still be in high school now."
…
With only one day left before the start of the Finals, the entire Suns team got on a plane to Cleveland.
The Cavaliers have home court advantage and the Finals will kick off in Cleveland.
Before departure, Lin Ying received a text message from Durant.
Those words made him beat the Cavaliers hard.
This made him baffled. When did Durant have a feud with the Cavaliers again?
After making a phone call, he found out that it was Durant who had been arguing passionately with Cavaliers fans online these days.
And he also asked Lin Ying to check social media himself.
Lin Ying directly held his forehead.
Then, he actually took a look before hanging up the phone and getting on the plane.
After looking at it for a while, he put it away.
Why will James surpass Jordan and become the number one player in the league this time? Defeating the Suns means that James has replaced Kobe and become the number one player in the league.
No wonder Durant is angry, these Cavaliers fans are a bit too... extreme.
In history, half of James's recruitment was due to this group of people.
But this made him look forward to the finals even more.
Although it sounds a bit cliché, it would be great if you can slap these people in the face when you win.
…
The Cavaliers' training day attracted a large number of reporters.
Because of James, the Cavaliers have gone from being the least watched team to one of the most watched teams.
And unlike history, this is the third time James has led his team to the finals!
Although they failed in the previous two times, this time the Cavaliers' biggest enemy, the Lakers, has already been eliminated early. In addition, their opponent, the Suns, is still in disarray. The hope of winning this time is very high.
Therefore, there are many reporters, and the Cavaliers players are very relaxed during training.
When the training was over, James smiled as always and accepted interviews with reporters.
He has always been the highest quality basketball idol in front of the media.
At this time, reporters will inevitably ask about the finals that are about to start.
"What do you think about the Suns using Lin to guard you? Is this a smokescreen from them?"
This question has been asked many times, but the details are different every time.
Yesterday I asked you how to deal with it, and today I asked you whether it was their smoke bomb.
Anyone else would definitely be annoyed by this, but James won't. His patience with the media is the best among all players.
However, because the game was about to start, his attitude in answering was more decisive than before.
"I don't care how they defend, whether they use Lin or other people or methods, I will only focus on the way I play."
"Do you think Lin can guard you?"
The reporter asked reluctantly.
James' reaction at this time was very interesting. He looked at the reporter and smiled without saying anything.
Silence is better than sound at this time.
"No man can guard LeBron."
At this moment, O'Neill came over and said with wide eyes.
These words were spoken on behalf of James, and they also made a reference to Lord of the Rings.
This guy's funny talent has always been at a high level.
James was also amused and laughed.
After O'Neill walked away, he said something else:
"I am more confident than ever before. I can't say that we must be the champions. That would be disrespectful to our opponents, but this is indeed the best opportunity in my career."
It seems like nothing was said, but it seems like something was said again!
James is full of confidence in this finals!
…
The next day, the NBA Finals officially kicked off!
Quicken Loans Arena was packed.
Cleveland has a small population and a small football market, but the enthusiasm of the fans is not low at all.
And this year is especially crazy. Fans expressed their madness by tattooing the Cavaliers team logo in various places, on their faces, stomachs, balls...
The Cavaliers flag and James' big-headed KT board can be seen everywhere.
The only city in the United States that has zero championships in the four major sports leagues will achieve zero breakthrough this time!
The players on both sides have already begun to warm up on the field, and James is constantly being photographed.
The next number one player in the league designated by Stern, his every move attracts the attention of fans.
The warm-up ended quickly, and Lin Ying, who had just finished the CCTV interview, also took a long breath.
Although it can be said that all the eyes of the United States are on the Cavaliers at this time, the eyes of many domestic fans are on him.
For the first time, Chinese players have reached the finals as the core. Can the domestic fans not be excited?
What about Kobe James? They only recognize Lin Ying!
The scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and the lineups of both sides were announced one after another.
Suns: Nash, Richardson, Hill, Lin Ying, Stoudemire.
Cavaliers: Delonte West, Bell, James, Diaw, O'Neal.
The Cavaliers obviously took a targeted approach, using West and Bell to prevent Lin Ying's misplaced singles in advance.
Before taking the court, James walked to the technical table and grabbed a handful of magnesium powder.
Various cameras were already placed in front of his eyes.
The little emperor’s exclusive pre-match action: throwing magnesium powder!
