NBA backer king

Chapter 537 Jordan: I will never accept four losses!
At the same time, at the Knicks headquarters in New York, the Knicks also held a tactical meeting.

Phil Jackson was the first to talk about Lao Wang, saying, "Old K must be playing the whole game..."

Just this one sentence made O'Neal and Jordan's nerves tense, as did other players.

This is the pressure from No.1 in active service, not to mention that No.1 in active service can fight non-stop throughout the court. Even Jordan feels great pressure.

Phil Jackson continued: "O'Neal, I've arranged for you to play for 40 minutes with a 2-minute break in each quarter, can you persist?
And you have to know that when you are on the court, you need to compete with Old K in any field, and you also need to consider the strong confrontation with him.

If, if you really can't take on this responsibility, I can reduce your playing time. After all, that is old K, the number one active center. "

O'Neill's face twitched, who was it to provoke?Phil, you and Michael are not good people, just want to squeeze me.

But he can only nod, and he must nod, and even if possible, he wants to play the whole game like old K, facing off against old K every second.

It has been six seasons, and this is the first time he has reached the finals, and the first time he has played against old K in the playoffs. He is very eager to use this opportunity to prove himself.

He wants to prove himself that this era of giant beasts is not the era of old K alone, it is called the era of giant beasts, not some bullshit giant beast K era.

"Four 10 minutes is no problem, Phil, I can guarantee that within four 10 minutes, I and old K will form a mutual explosive situation, and I will not pull down the defensive rebound."

He opened his voice and roared, the sound was so loud that it passed through the closed door to the outside.

"That's good." Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction.

Jordan also nodded slightly. Only by activating the strongest shark can the Knicks have a chance to beat the Lakers. Otherwise, facing Old K, he can only lose one, two, three, and then four?

"Pooh!"

Damn one loss, two losses, two losses and four losses, he was a little annoyed that he thought of this bullshit again.

At this time, Phil Jackson said: "Michael, the old K and O'Neal are definitely not double-teamed, so the Lakers are likely to double-team you on the outside. You have to pay attention.

But Mark Price's defense is so-so. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of. If he helps you defend, I believe you can handle it. "

"Phil, you can trust me." Jordan said calmly.

"Of course, I have always trusted you." Phil Jackson nodded and smiled.

On the morning of the 31st, Hu Weidong came to Los Angeles and stayed at Lao Wang's house.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Knicks' special plane arrived in Los Angeles, and the finals were about to begin.

After settling in the hotel, it was time for dinner, and the team came to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

"Michael, look, Pippen lives in Old K's villa, as well as Barkley and Dameng." While waiting for the food to be served, Oakley pointed to the TV in the dining room and said.

The TV was broadcasting a piece of entertainment news, which was an interview in Beverly Hills by a star program of Los Angeles TV. It happened that Pippen and Barkley were going out with a group of people, and they were bumped into by the reporter.

"This guy is just like Barkley's big dream. He has completely hugged Old K's thigh. It's shameful!" Jordan said with disdain.

Oakley smiled. If possible, he also wanted to hug the golden thigh of Old K. Old K is the best player in the league and the most successful player in investing.

Maybe, after the contract is finished, go to the Lakers to get a basic salary?
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and a staff member of the K-era private club got out of the car, took out two incubators from the trunk, handed the keys to the parking staff, and entered the hotel with the incubators.

"Mr. Jordan, here is the medicinal meal you ordered."

Not long after, the staff member came to the restaurant, found Jordan, and delivered a can of medicinal food.

"Thank you!"

Jordan nodded, took out his wallet, and tipped a hundred dollars.

"Mr. O'Neill, this is yours."

The staff came to O'Neill again and took out another crock from another incubator.

"Thank you!"

O'Neill also took out his wallet and paid a tip of one hundred dollars, but the action of paying the tip was not as straightforward as Jordan's, and he was a bit reluctant.

But if you give less, you will lose face, because the private clubs in the K era are full of rich people. A tip of 3.33 dollars is the market price, and a can of medicated food for [-] dollars is only a [-]% tip.

After the staff left, Oakley asked, "Michael, Shaq, are you still eating this stuff every day?"

Jordan said with a strange expression: "It's strange, this chicken has a medicinal smell, basically I eat it three times a week, and I don't feel tired."

"Me too, I really want to eat it every day or two. But I still hope that the club can introduce a few more medicinal foods of this level. It would be good to change the taste." O'Neill said.

Oakley said enviously: "Old K's business is getting bigger and bigger. In a few months, the club has expanded to many big cities.

Now not only our NBA, but also the other three major sports leagues, and many sports are being promoted, and they are very popular among first-line and top star athletes. Being a member of a private club in the K era has become a status symbol.

In addition to the sports world, other industries are also. I don't think it will take a few years for K-era private clubs to expand to the whole world. "

Jordan said disdainfully: "He just has a good sister. It's not his second sister who helps him. How do you see his martial arts development? Bankruptcy is possible."

"That's right, old K generally doesn't like to use his brain very much." Oakley nodded.

"He just likes hands." O'Neill joked.

"Humph!"

Oakley and Jordan froze, and gave O'Neill a hard look.

"What about me?"

O'Neal's face turned bitter, why are these two uncles so difficult to serve?Sooner or later, you will be kicked away.

……

98年6月1号，NBA联盟97/98赛季总决赛系列赛正式开启。

"Champion! Champion! Champion..."

"Twelve! Twelve! Twelve..."

Since noon, the Great Western Forum Arena has been filled with countless Lakers fans, and enthusiastic and high-spirited shouts sounded from the crowd from time to time.

There were fans everywhere in gold home jerseys, mostly number 31.

At around 10 o'clock this morning, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie arrived in Los Angeles.

Cheng Long's "Who Am I" is a big hit in Asia, and it is now preparing to be released in Hollywood, and the time is set for September.

He is already famous in Hollywood, and Li Lianjie still lacks a movie that will make him famous in Hollywood.

However, Li Lianjie also has a movie to be released in Hollywood next month, and he will play a supporting role in the movie called Lethal Weapon 4.

……

At 06:30 p.m., Lao Wang and his Lakers bodyguard Geas Rock drove to the Great Western Forum Arena. A large group of reporters were waiting for him. After seeing his car coming, they all surrounded him.

In order to prepare for the finals these days, he did not accept interviews from the media. Now when the reporters saw him, his eyes were red and bright, like a wolf seeing blood.

"Old K, the Sun said that if you were in the same draft as Jordan, then there would be a situation where K would pick K and no K would pick Joe, what do you think?" A reporter asked loudly.

Lao Wang laughed, and said modestly: "This is a false proposition, just listen to it for fun, don't take it to heart."

"Old K, if you replace Jordan with Sharks, do you think K will choose K, or Sharks will choose Shark?" The reporter asked.

"Well, sir, do you think this question should not be asked to other people?"

Lao Wang still refused to ask and answer such hypothetical questions, because no matter how he answered, it was not the best choice.

After getting rid of the reporters and approaching the locker room, he ran into the cheerleaders of the Lakers. They were all beautiful and sexy white girls. Lao Wang sneaked a lewd glance at their underwater parts.

Why every high leg raise of the NBA cheerleaders can attract the love of countless fans, because according to NBA rules, for the sake of appearance, except for stockings, cheerleaders are not allowed to wear underwear, because there will be obvious imprints and strangle marks, so the skirts of these cheerleaders are all vacuum.

How could his small movements escape the eyes of a group of cheerleaders who were staring at him and winking at him. While laughing, a group of beauties suddenly stopped him, and then played leg raising movements in front of him.

"I X!"

Lao Wang hurriedly ran away, and when he forcibly squeezed away a group of beauties, they came up to defend him with all their strength. In a short while, there were countless small hands touching and pinching him.

This group of women dare not provoke them, the magician fell into their hands back then, and he didn't have the guts to follow in the magician's footsteps.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Lao Wang running away in a hurry, the cheerleaders laughed triumphantly.

……

"Old K, the Los Angeles Daily said that Jordan would lose one, two, three, and four, what do you think?" Another reporter immediately asked.

"Of course."

There was no hesitation about this question, Lao Wang replied directly: "I will definitely give Mr. Jordan the fourth loss, this is his established destiny."

"There are no four losses, and this time I will never accept defeat."

On the other side, just outside the visiting team's locker room, Jordan, who was returning to the locker room with his teammates after dinner, was blocked by reporters. A reporter raised a question about the four losses, which made him very angry.

"Michael, there are rumors in the media that if you lose four times, you will choose to retire. Is this true?" the next reporter asked.

Hearing the word "four losses" again, the veins on Jordan's forehead twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't retire if I don't beat Old K."

……

When Pharaoh came to the locker room, most of his teammates had arrived and were changing their outfits. He greeted everyone and began to change their outfits.

The left ankle, which was injured twice before, is the focus of protection. A trainer came to help him tie the bandage.

Another staff member helped him get a new pair of sneakers out of the closet and replaced them with custom insoles.

Among the sneaker equipment, insoles are the most expensive, far more expensive than sneakers, so generally speaking, sneakers can be given to fans casually, but insoles are not.

This pair of sneakers is the sixth generation of K, and the quality is very good. Mammoth has set up a factory in China, and the cost has dropped significantly. Now the K series are all produced in domestic factories, and then shipped over by sea.

I put on knee pads and foot pads, went to the bathroom in slippers, put on tight underwear, put on sports underwear, and then put on button pants, etc. It took more than 20 minutes to change from a set of equipment such as bandages.

After getting dressed, he had time to look around the locker room.

Well, he only now realized that the atmosphere was a little tense.

Among all the players, only he and Kobe have played in the finals, and none of the others have played in the finals. It is inevitable to be nervous.

Especially several veterans, including Richmond, are a little nervous, and even several All-Star veterans are more nervous than a few marginal people, because they care more about the championship.

They came to the Lakers for the championship. Now that they have reached the finals, hope is right in front of them, and their hearts of gains and losses are suddenly heavy.

"Clap clap clap..."

Lao Wang stood in the middle, clapped his hands, and after his teammates focused on him, he said in a very relaxed tone: "Who can tell me why the Knicks can beat us?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, why?Because the Knicks have Jordan.

But when they thought of this, they immediately thought of Jordan's one loss, two losses and three losses when he faced Old K in the finals.

This thought immediately relieved half of the pressure in their hearts, and half of their tension disappeared.

So besides Jordan, what else can the Knicks win against the Lakers?O'Neill?
But O'Neill and old K debuted in the same year, and they have been crushed by old K all the time. There is no championship, no MVP, no scoring champion, no team, nothing, why should they win old K?

This thought made their stress and tension disappear again.

At this time, Lao Wang said in a disdainful tone: "Don't think that O'Neal and Jordan will be invincible together. Even the Pacers can win against them in the Eastern Conference Finals, let alone our Lakers?"

Having said that, he looked at Richmond and said, "Mitch, tell me, how much advantage does Jordan have over you? Average ten per game?"

Richmond thought for a while and said: "If it's the regular season, in terms of scoring alone, if he doesn't break out, in his normal state, he can't surpass me by ten points.

But now it's the finals, and it's another series. If efficiency is counted, it's [-], maybe not enough. "

When he said this, he completely let go of his own face, and admitted that the gap between himself and Jordan was much bigger than what old K said. This was because he wanted the championship, so he didn't want old K to make a mistake in his judgment, so he needed to calculate Jordan to be stronger.

Lao Wang nodded and said, "If you want to count efficiency, my efficiency is also higher than that of the big shark. I think the average of [-] per game is enough, what do you think?"

Richmond was right when he thought about it. His efficiency was lower than Jordan's, but Old K's efficiency was higher than O'Neal's. The two sides offset each other, so he nodded.

Old Wang smiled and asked, "Mitch, do you think I can beat O'Neal by 10 points per game in the series? I'm quite confident."

"hiss!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

O'Neal averaged 31 points per game in the first three rounds of the playoffs. If this standard is used, Old K will average 41 points per game in the finals. Can it be achieved?

If O'Neal makes some more breakthroughs, won't the old K have to average 50 per game again?
But this is O'Neal. Even if the Sharks' defense is not top-notch, such a big man standing there is a natural huge defensive barrier. It is not comparable to the weak insiders of the Bulls. Can old K really average 40+50 per game in the finals again?
But think about it, under the old K's defense, it should be difficult for O'Neal to average 30 per game, right?Then O'Neal's scoring will be weakened a bit, and the old K's scoring pressure will also be reduced a lot.

After such a calculation, everyone, including Richmond, felt that there was a chance.

At least, according to old K's calculation, it is not so easy for the Knicks to win against the Lakers.

What's more, their lineup of the eight major rotation players of the Lakers is even stronger than that of the Knicks, so it is not impossible for the old K to reduce some burdens.

After all the calculations, some of their mentality of worrying about gains and losses has also settled down.

……

At seven o'clock, the Great Western Forum Arena was packed.

The big stars of Hollywood appeared together, making the whole stadium shine brightly.

Countless media from all over the world gathered in the arena, each looking for interview targets and shooting objects, and the entire Great Western Forum Arena became a huge world-class show.

Lao Wang's family also appeared on the scene, and Dameng was with a large group of people including Barkley, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and became the focus of the media's pursuit.

In addition, the lowest ticket price for the Lakers’ home court today is $850, which is much higher than the lowest ticket price of $620 for the Western Conference Finals. The average price also exceeds the Western Conference Finals’ $1920, reaching $2480.

This average price directly broke the league’s Finals ticket record. The previous record for the Finals was $765. It was created in G92 of the 6 Finals, which was even lower than the Lakers’ Western Conference Finals.

Undoubtedly, the reason why the tickets are so high is because this finals has two of the most powerful teams, as well as two signature stars of the league, and there are many things to watch, which is a bit off the charts.
