I really just want to strike

And with the arrival of various sponsors from China, the "God" who was manipulating all this behind the scenes also showed a gratified smile in New York.

Facts have proved that in China, the most traveled road is Stern's routine.

In fact, as early as April this year, after the 4ers expressed a strong desire for Yao Ming, Stern had already written the script in secret.

To put it bluntly, how could Pat Klaus be so lucky that he won two No. [-] lottery in four years?

Don't believe me if you tell me.

In the draft on May 2000, 5, Pat Krause and his Philadelphia 15ers could only get the No. 76 pick no matter how they were drawn.

If you know enough about the history, especially the history after Stern took over the league, then you will find that after opening this story, basically, behind every classic story, there will be a shadow of Stern.

And the most amazing thing is that it is different from the joke in the future who thinks he has directed a peerless blockbuster

Stern can always return the stage he has carefully set up to the athletes on the field at the most appropriate time.

It doesn't matter whether it's the crouching dragon and phoenix chick of Raul Merian, or the newly-emerged Cameron Brothers

A diverse league is what Stern wants.

Therefore, how could Iverson, who is an idol of African-American civilians, be forgotten by this little Jewish old man?

As a large city in the eastern United States, Stern knew that hopeless Philadelphia needed hope.

And as the first American city that the rabbits have fallen in love with since they knew about it, Philadelphia is precisely the city that favors Yao Ming the most in this year's draft.

So, is there a better scenario than sending Yao Ming to Philadelphia?

Well, after Pat Krause spoiled their draft results to the nation in advance, the entire Rabbit family is now completely immersed in joy.

Look, two years ago, you yourself kicked out a king from China, but now, you are about to usher in a giant from China, if you don't cherish it yourself, who can you blame?

Gee!

Simply perfect.

Of course, compared to this almost perfect script, what Stern is more concerned about at present is the fierce battle between the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals.

In the east, the "bad disciples" still failed to overcome the drama of counterattacking the "mentor".

Relying on Duncan's steady performance in the last two games, the Celtics finally won two consecutive games, eliminated the Pacers with a big score of 4 to 2, and joined the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

In the west, the young cowboys still need time to settle.

O'Neal, who is desperate for a championship, and Kobe, who is also desperate for a championship, played a connection that Lakers fans will never forget in the fifth and sixth games. The Lakers also eliminated the Mavericks with a score of 4-2. Joined forces with the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals.

And so far, only the last three 7s are left in the playoffs to determine the king.

Are the Raptors aggressive and trying to defend their title?

Or is it going to avenge the shame and revive the Lakers this year?

Or did they learn from the past and try to break the Celtics' monopoly of the king?

And the Trail Blazers led by the former league's No. [-] small forward Pippen?

Toronto, after a week-long break, will be tested by the Raptors two days later, on May 5.

According to the rules, the Eastern Conference finals are still in the 22111 format, with the Raptors playing first and then guest.

Before the game, after leading the team to Toronto, Auerbach, the Celtics' behind-the-scenes actual coach, expressed his confidence in defeating the Raptors in an interview.

Because this year is not only the year when Su Feng and O'Neill jumped to the dragon's gate, but also the year when Duncan grew the fastest.

In addition, the growth of Ray Allen and Marbury and the addition of Artest also gave Auerbach the hope of defeating the Raptors.

Of course, in words, Auerbach also expressed dissatisfaction that people pay too much attention to Su Feng and O'Neill.

Because in the old coach's opinion, when people discuss the best players in the league today, they should also discuss Duncan together.

And it seems to be to make the cardinal more sour

On the 21st, the Raptors uniform team once again held a coronation ceremony for Su Feng at the Airline Center Arena in Toronto.

Unlike previous coronations held in Detroit

This time, Su Feng not only received the Podorov Cup again in the worship of 10 fans at the scene, but also Martin's introduction to him at the scene lasted for more than [-] minutes for the first time.

Well, now, standing in front of you is omitting [-] words here

No. 1 in future history, Su Feng!

All in all, after this huge coronation ceremony, the morale of the entire Raptors can be said to be full to the extreme.

And similarly, the anger value of the opposing Celtics player

Also stretched to the extreme.

"Maybe one day, Boston fans will lose confidence in the Celtics and the Celtics, because until now, we have not been able to fulfill the promise of returning to the top of the king like the fans.

But I think, that is definitely not today.

Maybe one day, we will find that after giving everything we have, we are still doing nothing.

But that wasn't today either.

Today, the Boston Celtics will face off against the Toronto Raptors!

Let us step onto the court and tell the people of Toronto with our actions, our anger! "

On the Celtics bench, before the start of the game, Celtics coach Miller Carr looked at his disciples and said.

As a researcher who has studied John Davis in this league for a whole year, after putting aside all kinds of prejudice against Davis from the outside world, I have to say that Karl has indeed grown up.

And just when Carl ignited the fighting spirit of the Celtic players through his own speech, almost the same scene was also staged on the Raptors' bench

"I have a dream"

Looking at his lovely disciples, Davis, a legendary coach of a generation, secretly took out the manuscript he had memorized all night before the players were ready to play.

Then there is no more then.

Because tonight, the Raptors will fight for honor!

……

Chapter 385 Brother Feng and Niu Bi!

In the center of the court, amidst the cheers of nearly [-] fans, Big Ben and Duncan jumped the ball to start the game.

There was still no suspense in the result, Duncan stretched out his hand lightly with a hook, and won the ball for the Celtics.

At this time, CCTV, Director Zhang said: "Recently, many enthusiastic viewers have been sending text messages to ask why the Raptors didn't arrange the taller O'Neal to jump the ball.

Here, I also want to give you a popular science.

Because in the NBA, the side that generally loses the jump ball will get the right to serve in the second and third quarters.

So, if you know enough about the current Raptors' style of play, then you will know that they often play the strongest in the game in the second and third quarters. "

On the side, listening to Director Zhang's explanation, Director Sun echoed: "Thank you Director Zhang for your explanation, let us finally understand why the Raptors have been arranging Big Ben to play jump balls with the opponent."

It has to be said that Director Zhang's commentary from the atmosphere made the Chinese fans in front of the TV suddenly enlightened a lot.

only......

The reality is really as Director Zhang said, did the Raptors think so far?

The answer is naturally no.

Because Director Zhang may not believe it...

If it weren't for the consideration of his seven-foot-tall idol burden, then John Davis would have arranged for O'Neal to be the jumper for this Raptors.

Of course, Director Zhang's explanation is indeed very reasonable.

Because after the Raptors' soldiers gradually got used to the situation of being beaten first at the beginning......

On the contrary, they can always quickly enter the state of quick defense.

On the court, the Celtics' first offense was the familiar Ma Deng pick-and-roll.

This season, due to Iverson's absence for most of the season, Marbury relied on his "18+9" performance per game and was successfully selected to the third team of this year's best team.

This ball, under Duncan's solid pick-and-roll, facing McGrady, who is also a three-team guard, Marbury first swung his hand, then suddenly changed direction, and successfully broke into the hinterland of the Raptors' defense.

On the other side, Duncan also quickly dismantled into the Raptors' inside line after blocking.

However, the moment Marbury was about to throw the ball to Duncan...

A white flash suddenly separated him and Duncan!

When the light faded, the man was a full 6 feet 6 inches tall.

Handsome appearance, tall and straight figure, plus that pair of daunting iron elbows...

23 number.

This is Su Feng's jersey number.

On the court, Marbury hesitated.

Because even a top point guard like him would not dare to challenge the defense line guarded by Su Feng rashly.

And it was too late, and at the moment of Marbury's hesitation, McGrady, who was successfully selected to the second team of the best defensive team this year, retreated to his defense zone in an instant.

On TNT TV, Smith, who saw this scene, said with emotion: "This is Su. At the right time, he can always appear in the most correct defensive position!"

On the court, because the Celtics' attack was delayed by Su Feng for a long time, with the attack time running out, Ray Allen could only stand up and be the one to take the blame.

when--!

And with the sound of iron striking...

The Raptors fans who had not yet taken their seats in the flight center arena immediately gave out the cheers that resounded throughout the northern territory!

On the court, under the cheer of the fans "Northern Battle Roar", O'Neal took off the rebound and quickly handed the ball to Tracy McGrady.

UI.

The Raptors' fast break is undoubtedly the best interpretation of this sentence.

1、2、3、4、5......

The Raptors, with multiple lines going hand in hand, played a transition attack at this moment so fast that even the timer and the camera couldn't keep up with them!

Bang-dang-!

From the connection between Su Feng and Mai Di.

have to......

Huashan split open again.

0:2.

Through a counterattack, the Raptors successfully dunked their first goal of the night by Su Feng.

And come back, it's the Celtics' turn to attack.

Marbury learned his lesson this time. After breaking up with Duncan, he broke into the inside decisively and directly challenged the left wing of the restricted area guarded by O'Neal.

As a result, it turns out that...

Sometimes, you really can't be too decisive in life.

Snapped--!

Maybe it's because O'Neal's appearance looks easy to bully, so Marbury didn't pay too much attention to O'Neal...

However, the young Marbury soon paid the price.

After Jermaine O'Neal slammed Marbury's layup out of the bottom line with a volleyball cap, the atmosphere in the center arena of the route tonight can be described as a climax from the beginning!

"Hey, the Raptors look pretty good today." CCTV Director Zhang said with a smile.

"After all, it is the Eastern Conference Finals that decides who can advance to the Finals. It can be seen that the Raptors attach great importance to tonight's opening." On the side, Director Sun echoed.

On the court, the Celtics served the baseline ball. At the critical moment, Duncan stepped forward to stabilize the situation for the Celtics.

A classic Duncan hook.

Bang, swish!

2:2.

In the Raptors' penalty area, Ben, who was in charge of marking Duncan, was very angry with Duncan's ball.
