Chapter 502 Overplaying Kenny Smith

Byron Scott glanced through the player channel and clearly saw the excitement of the Warriors' home court and the hustle and bustle of the fans since they entered the stadium.

While the Warriors are strong, coupled with the cheers of these fans now, Scott suddenly seems to feel that the Nets are being pressed by a mountain on their backs, which makes him extremely dignified!

"Haha, the atmosphere here is not bad!" Kenyon Martin looked at the hot scene that gradually came into view as they approached, and said something very nervous!
However, his words did not attract the slightest attention from other people. They are now more concerned about how much pressure this situation will bring to themselves.

"Kenyon, this is not the regular season!!" Jason Kidd turned his head and said to Martin with a solemn expression. As the league's top point guard, he knows exactly what the home fans will bring these years!
"Hey, shouldn't we play this game with the mentality of the regular season?" Martin didn't hear Kidd's hidden meaning at all, he replied directly, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes very quickly!
As the No. [-] pick of the year, Martin has been under a lot of pressure since he entered the Nets!

Amidst his own age and the ridicule of some people, after his performance in the first season, his hat has gradually become rare!

However, with the sudden burst of strong potential in the first season, after all doubts disappeared, Martin's heart suddenly rose to a very high level!
In the Nets, with the team's efforts to train Martin, Martin always regards himself as the best core player of the team. Even though Kidd has used his ability to prove his influence, he can In Martin's view, he, who is obviously younger, will be the only one in the Nets!
Now, hearing Kidd say that impatiently in front of everyone, it really hurt Martin's self-esteem!

"Damn it, I'm the only core of this team!!" Martin gritted his teeth and roared secretly. He also knew that with his current performance and contribution to the team, he wanted to climb over the mountain of Kidd immediately. Obviously a little naive!
And Scott, who was thinking about something, didn't notice Martin's expression at all. Of course, everyone didn't notice!

How would they react if they knew that this irascible guy was leaving New Jersey in a year?

In the stadium, as an entertainment program with Chinese characteristics ended, players from the Warriors and Nets came out amidst the excited shouts of the fans!
"Wow, it seems that our fans are in good shape!!" Bruce looked around excitedly, especially when some fans stood up and screamed, which made him uncontrollably excited!
"That's right, the role of the fans is not only to generate revenue for our box office, but their love for basketball and the Warriors is what we value the most and what moves us the most!" West said deeply As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman who changed clothes on the spot, and when he roared regardless of his image, he said with a smile: "I hope you can treat these lovely people kindly forever!"

"Haha, yes!" Bruce laughed twice, and then looked expectantly at the court!
In the commentary booth, the commentary lineup for this game is particularly strong. In addition to the combination of Kenny Smith and Rick Barry, ESPN also directly invited the somewhat reluctant Bill Walton and George Gervin here!
"Hey Bill, when do you want your promise to be fulfilled??"

As soon as the four of them sat down, Smith asked Wharton, who didn't dare to look at him, with a playful face, and there was a strong sense of spoof in his expression!

"Damn it, am I, Bill Walton, the kind of person who has no credibility??" Walton said angrily, and then looked at the teams on both sides of the stadium walking towards the rest area, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Embarrassed, he bit the bullet and said: "If the Warriors can sweep the Nets 4-0 to win the championship, I will personally complete the previous bet within three days after they win the trophy!"

"God, the Bill I know is not such a person!" Smith said in a strange voice, and then after taking a look at the Warriors who seemed to be in very good condition, he said very simply: "Okay, I hope you can keep your promise!"

And Rick Barry and George Gervin, who heard the conversation between the two, looked at each other, and shook their heads with wry smiles!

As for their commentators like guests, they are not as interested in sensitive topics as Smith's commentators who have signed a formal contract!
Especially now that this kind of bet seems to have changed a bit, even if it is acceptable to them for the time being, Smith's continuous search for topics really makes them smile bitterly!

After getting Smith's reply, Wharton's already restless heart finally relaxed a little!
However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Smith's next sentence made him stunned!
"However, this bet will not be in the small circle. If I win in the end, I hope you can complete this bet on the national live broadcast!"

Smith's words not only stunned Wharton, but even Barry and Gervin stared at him dumbfounded!
In the United States, even though they enjoy the atmosphere of ridicule and entertainment, it is now somewhat insulting.

"You..." Bill Walton was completely mad. Originally, he only treated this bet in the spirit of entertainment, but as the Mavericks lost to the Warriors in the series, after Smith's teasing and Tom Under Harmon's fanning the flames, this bet gradually changed a bit!
"Kenny, are we going to prepare the materials for the game?" Rick Barry saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he hurriedly said something to Smith, and then put the materials in front of the two, Directly changed the topic: "Tonight's game is an extremely important game for the Nets, if they can win a game at the Warriors' home court, then the next game will give them a very big advantage! "

As Rick Barry changed the subject, the tense atmosphere between the two gradually eased!
If you want to talk about the nature of this bet, everyone knows that this is a gimmick in disguise to attract ratings!
However, with Smith's pressing situation now, even if Wharton has prepared for the worst, anyone who is reminded and questioned like this again and again will definitely be a little angry and annoyed!
"That's right!" After seeing Barry's wink, Gervin hastily echoed in order to ease their direct atmosphere: "As Rick said, if the Nets can get lucky here A victory, which will give them a great advantage and confidence throughout the finals!"

"Well, guys, let's wait and see!" Barry secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and directly changed the topic to the game!

On the sidelines of the court, the Warriors and Mavericks players walked towards the court amidst the whistle of the on-duty referee Dick Bavita!

"Guys, this is our home stadium, and the guys who are excitedly cheering and cheering for us are watching our performance closely!" Barkley said loudly with a very serious expression while joining the crowd.

"So, we must use our best state to repay their efforts, guys, come on!!" Duncan directly ended Barkley's words. As one of the core of the team, he must say something like this now!
And the other players who heard the two yelled these words, glanced at the fans around who hadn't stopped cheering and shouting since they entered the field, and they all nodded heavily!

In the stands, Bruce and West excitedly discussed the chances of winning the championship.

"Jerry, if Dirk can come back in the third game, it will bring us great help, especially his precise shooting and superb ball quotient, which will definitely bring the biggest trouble to the Nets Yes!" Bruce thought about what the team doctor told him before, and he couldn't help but excitedly said to West.

"Of course, if Dirk can come back quickly, I think it will be very easy to win this series. Even if they have Jason and Kenyon and others, with our strong lineup, they will be like last season. The champion is It won't belong to them!!" With decades of vision, West said this with great confidence!

In his view, the current lineup of the Warriors, even without Nowitzki, who can't play as soon as possible due to illness, and now that they are both top lineups, the Warriors will eventually win the championship.

In this great self-confidence, the only thing that worries West is Kidd's performance!
"Of course, if Jason's state reaches an astonishing level, under his tandem, the strength of the Nets will also make us very uncomfortable and the uncertainty of the final game, especially for competitive sports like ours. My confidence is only based on years of experience!"

Bruce looked at West with a weird expression. He was a little surprised at his confidence at first, but after West finished the above words, he couldn't help feeling weird!

"Uh. Haha, I just have this confidence in our players!" Seemingly realizing that something in his words was wrong, West couldn't help laughing out loud embarrassingly after noticing Bruce's weird expression!
"drop!!"

Just as Bruce was about to tease West for a while, the whistle sounded on the court at the right time to start the game!

"Hey, I missed this opportunity, when will I get revenge for leaking the "secret"?" Bruce was a little depressed, looking at West who was looking forward to him, He is really tangled!
As Bavita's whistle sounded, the main players of both sides walked towards the field one after another!

"Come on guys!!!"
