lakers championship

Chapter 440
On the 28th, at 5:30 pm, in the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, TNT work area.

As the camera lights came on, Ernie, O'Neal, Kenny, and Barkley tightened their dresses and sat upright. The live broadcast of Game 7 of the Lakers-Warriors series began immediately.

Ernie pushed his glasses, smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Maggio, how are you going?"

"Hey, GUYS, we are ready and ready to act according to your needs!"

O'Neal clapped his hands: "Very good, please come to a bird's-eye view, let the whole world see the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans!"

As the voice fell, the camera on the big screen in front of the four-person table suddenly turned, and what immediately caught the four people's eyes was the scene within a 3-mile radius centered on the Staples Arena.

To describe it in one word, that is 'serious traffic jam! '.

You can see many police officers on duty from the camera, but there are trucks, business cars, motorcycles, sports cars, buses and other vehicles of all sizes driving to the Staples Center from all directions, but they can’t get in or out. , No matter how it is adjusted, it is blocked, and the nearby parking lot is completely insufficient, and many vehicles are parked directly on the side of the road.

There are also many fans, who seem to have expected such a "grand event" in advance, simply parked their cars in the distance, and then walked to the arena in groups, laughing and laughing, making many fans on the road envious.

"Wow!" Kenny sighed, "I already knew it would be exaggerated, but the real situation is a hundred times more exaggerated than I imagined. The enthusiasm of the Lakers fans this year surpassed any previous one!"

"Very good, great! It would be best if the Lakers play the Warriors next year," Barkley nodded frequently. "If we continue like this, basketball is expected to surpass football and become the number one sport in the United States!"

"Hahaha!" O'Neal laughed, "Now let's see my dear fans!"

After the voice fell, the camera on the big screen turned again, and Maggio's smiling face appeared immediately.

"Guys, standing behind me are Lakers fans from all over the world..."

Before the words were finished, the sky-shattering shouts sounded instantly, one after another, seemingly unstoppable. Various signs, hand flags, and banners were waving like catkins, and Maggio's voice was completely drowned out.

After about 20 seconds, the fans gradually quieted down. Maggio hurried to a young man standing at the front of the crowd to conduct an interview.

"Come to Staples to watch the game today, how do you feel?"

The little brother didn't answer directly, but yelled again, and other fans also yelled, and the atmosphere was extremely excited!

"You want to ask me how I feel? That must be an explosion of happiness!"

Apparently, the little guy was big and infectious, and Ernie reminded Maggio to ask further.

"Where are you sitting on the court? At that time, we can take a close-up of you through the camera."

The little brother shook his head when he heard this, his eyes were a little lonely and a little excited.

"I failed to buy tickets, not because I was reluctant, but after the end of the sixth game, the tickets for the seventh game were sold out in 3 seconds. I searched for a long time on Amazon but couldn't buy second-hand tickets. You can’t get it even if you ask your friends for help.”

"So I chose to be with everyone and watch the game on the field."

"You can see that the Lakers are outside the arena in four directions, and they worked overtime overnight to hang up four ultra-high-definition large screens, which is convenient for our fans who have not bought tickets to watch the game on the field."

"During your live broadcast, if the Lakers score a goal, you can cut the off-court footage. Our cheers are very cheering, and it is definitely as enthusiastic as the inside, don't you think?"

The little brother's voice fell, and the fans shouted passionately again, fully proving his words!
Maggio smiled and nodded, and the live broadcast camera was adjusted to a bird's-eye view again. From the four directions of southeast, northwest, and close-ups of the four super large screens outside the Staples Arena, all kinds of technological equipment are attached to them, which can be seen completely. The Lakers didn't play it perfunctory, but actually served fans who didn't buy tickets, although they couldn't make any money at the moment.

"Let me put it this way." O'Neal rolled up his sleeves, "Jenny and Jim were already secretly preparing for this matter at the beginning of the playoffs. They originally planned to put it in the finals, but after the end of the sixth game, they decided to immediately Enable."

"That's really hard work." Kenny nodded, and changed the topic, "Ernie, what did you think of? Why do you look so excited? Have you become a Lakers fan like me tonight?"

"There is a very interesting thing." Ernie shook his head slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face, "The director told me just now that many people said on Twitter, and some people called to remind me that the fan we interviewed just now has a special identity .”

"Who is he?" Buckley raised his eyebrows, "A certain billionaire?"

"No!" Ernie shook his head, "Do you remember how the Lakers traded for Howard and Kobe in 13?"

"Remember? What's the matter?" Kenny looked confused.

"At that time, a media interviewed a Lakers fan who was wearing a hat outside the Staples Center during the Lakers' first game. Which fan said something that became a classic joke..."

"I know, I know, I know." O'Neal slapped the table anxiously, "He said, we have Howard and Kobe, and his mother can lead the team to win the championship!"

"So, the little brother we interviewed just now is the same person?" Barkley said belatedly, Kenny and Ernie had already nodded silently, and the interview from that year began to appear on the screen.

"The Lakers will win the championship this year!"

"This season belongs to us!"

"We've got Dwight-Howard and Kobe."

"With such a lineup, my mother will win the championship."

At this time, the interview was played simultaneously on four large screens outside Staples.

There was a blast at the scene, the little brother standing next to Maggio had tears in his eyes.

"So, now you need to tell everyone, what's your name?"

"My name is Groot, Steve - Groot" the little brother choked up, "Now I just want to say, after five years, we are back again, the Lakers will win the championship this year!!!"

"Yeah!" The scene once again exploded!
O'Neill wiped his eyes, "I'm getting older, it's really hard to see these pictures."

Both Kenny and Barkley nodded with a smile, and Ernie said with a smile: "It just so happens that the mayor of Los Angeles, Mr. Eric Garcetti, will deliver a speech to the citizens of Los Angeles through TNT."

The voice fell, and the big screen switched, showing Eric Garcetti sitting at his desk.

"Good afternoon, fellow Los Angeles citizens and Lakers fans from afar."

"Before I became mayor, I was already a loyal fan of the Lakers. I am very excited about tonight's game, but I need to remind everyone that when celebrating, we must also consider the feelings and safety of others, even ourselves."

"From now on, the City Hall will conduct traffic control in the three kilometers around the Staples Center until twelve o'clock in the evening. Please trouble everyone to cooperate with our work."

"Finally, I would like to wish the Lakers advance to the Finals."

The voice fell, and the fans outside the Staples Center cheered again, but suddenly turned into boos.

The three of O'Neill didn't know what was going on in the arena, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Maggio laughs: "Warriors players show up, they walk in groups, fans spot them."

"Hahaha." O'Neill looked up and laughed, "Where's their bus?"

"You have such a good memory..." Kenny shook his head, "There's such a traffic jam outside the arena, how do you drive the bus?"

"Yes, yes." O'Neill scratched his head, but the camera on the big screen suddenly turned, and a Ferrari drove out of the arena at a constant speed, "What's going on? How could a sports car pass by?"

"That's Tianyang." Ernie laughed. "He posted a selfie on Twitter before, joking that he might not be able to make it to the game. As a result, the tweet was reposted wildly, and then the fans along the way took the initiative to cheer for him." He stepped out of the way."

"Oh, is he so respectable?" O'Neill grinned, "He drives a sports car, and the Warriors players walk!"

"Look, Tianyang got off the car." Barkley reminded, "He walked towards Maggio."

"I think you read it wrong," Kenny shook his head, "Which fan is he going to."

Sure enough, after Tianyang got off the car, he went straight to Steve Groot.

The two bumped shoulders to salute, and then an amazing scene happened, Tianyang took off his clothes, he gave the Lakers No. 17 jersey he was wearing to Groot, and took a shoe box from the accompanying Farage. And send it to Groot.

The atmosphere at the scene exploded, and then Tianyang began to trot shirtless, high-fiving the fans all the way, making a big circle around the east gate, and finally ran into the stadium.

Ernie shook his head and shrugged, and said with a smile: "Okay, now we are also a PG-13 (level for children to watch with parents) TV station, it's time to increase membership fees."

Barkley pointed to the big screen, "Look, the Warriors players, especially Durant, are all confused."

"Don't worry," Kenny waved his hand, "The arena is open for admission, and big names are beginning to appear."

Outside the arena, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to appear in the crowd's sight, accompanied by 'Magic' Johnson and James Worthy, and the three walked towards the arena talking and laughing.

After waiting for a few minutes, Leonardo appeared together with Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and other Hollywood stars. They were wearing Lakers jerseys and discussing like ordinary fans. What.

A few minutes later, led by Aunt May Streep, Hollywood female stars such as Megan Fox and Charlize Theron also slowly walked towards the arena, like a group of young college students, preparing to support the school team. .

For ten minutes in a row, the cameras were all aimed at the big names from all walks of life, and the people watching were confused.

In the end, NBA officials, Adam Silver and others also entered the field one after another, and O'Neal sighed:
"It should be over! There are too many big names coming tonight!"

Before the words fell, the camera suddenly turned to the sky, and a helicopter slowly appeared in front of everyone from far to near.

When the helicopter stopped on the tarmac not far from the arena, and the camera zoomed forward, people saw that Kobe was wearing a black suit, wearing beat headphones and black sunglasses, and walked off the plane with a cool face , the director also matched the BGM when the superhero appeared on the stage!

Many fans at the scene couldn't see it with naked eyes, but they could see it clearly through the big screen.

Kobe waved at the camera, and the scene exploded again!

"Tsk tsk tsk, come to play the game by helicopter." O'Neill curled his lips, "I'm really better than him in this!"

Ernie smiled, "What a beautiful night, it seems like a Hollywood Midsummer Night's Dream, let's get ready to enjoy the next ultimate battle."
