NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 258: Crowded audience

New York.

Madison Square Garden!

In this magnificent arena, fans are about to welcome the Knicks’ first finals in five years.

The eagerly awaited New York fans are clamoring for the chance to return to the finals countless times in the past five years.

But they never expected that this day would come so soon.

Whenever they recall the Knicks’ entry into the finals, most fans feel like they are dreaming, oh no, it’s a scene they dare not even dream of.

Last season, the Knicks were one of the last teams in the Eastern Conference, but with a draft, the fate of the team was completely changed.

In the stands.

In addition to the shouts of countless fans, the front row of the audience was also crowded with spectators.

Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Olajuwon and other veteran superstars all came to the game.

These retired old guys, like the fans, are full of interest in this duel between the old and new kings.

Another thing is that the opening game of the finals is in New York.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to kill time for most retired stars living in this megacity in the United States.

In addition to them, many active stars also put aside their long vacations and came to watch the game in person.

“Cameron, who do you think will win the championship trophy in the end?”

The young James looked at Anthony beside him and couldn’t help asking.

The gang members are obviously much more mature than the geniuses from the remote villages of Akron. Carmelo Anthony gave a positive answer almost without thinking: “LeBron, why do you ask that? The winner is of course the Los Angeles Lakers.”

“They have an All-Star lineup, and they just eliminated the Timberwolves 4:2. This is incomparable to the young Knicks in the East.”

The reason why Anthony can say it so confidently is largely due to the experience of the Nuggets in the first round of this year’s playoffs.

The NCAA superstar who once led Syracuse University to the top four in the country also thought that the strength of the NBA was just like that in the regular season.

It was not until the playoffs that he led the Nuggets against the Timberwolves that Melon understood the gap between such a top team and a first-round team!

If it weren’t for the extraordinary performance of Nene and the substitute lineup in G3, the Nuggets would have been swept.

Anthony clearly realized that the playoffs were no longer a show for personal performance. Even if his technical system was mature enough, it was still just the starting level. To truly drive the overall situation… Anthony was sure that it was definitely not something that an ordinary All-Star player could do.

Especially after the Timberwolves were eliminated by the Lakers 4:2, he became more determined.

A team capable of winning the championship must have at least two All-Star players. Even from this year’s situation, it would be difficult to complete the bottom line without the Hall of Fame’s first-class level.

The Timberwolves are a good example!

Speaking of the Timberwolves, Anthony’s eyes wandered to the stands near the Knicks fans.

He saw two familiar figures there.

“LeBron, isn’t that Garnett and Sprewell?”

James looked over and nodded.

“Heh, it seems that Minnesota intends to let the Knicks inherit their will!”

In the fans’ stands, in addition to the big stars, there were also celebrities.

David Stern frowned as he looked at the dazzling array of familiar faces.

He had psychological expectations for this finals, but the effect of breaking the circle still surprised him.

Not only did many celebrities come from the rap circle, but also many investors and actors from the entertainment and fashion circles.

“Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie… Oh my God, is this a celebrity social party?”

Looking at these familiar faces, Stern couldn’t help but look at the league operation beside him.

Stern relaxed until the latter raised his hand and patted his chest to ensure that he did not spend any money to invite celebrities.

Now is the perfect time for the NBA to promote to the world. He doesn’t want to spend too much money to build the influence of the NBA in the United States at this stage.

···

After the warm-up, the players entered the appearance ceremony.

The budget given by the Knicks owner is sufficient. He asked Scott Layden to work hard on this and make it big and powerful so that the world

Fans around the world saw the Knicks’ style.

In Madison Square Garden, the main lights were turned off.

The lighting engineer on the scene adjusted the lights to hit the court. After the short film on the big screen was played, today’s MC began his work.

The first team to play was the visiting team. All the Los Angeles players sat quietly on the bench and completed their appearances in order.

Kobe was the second to last to play, but the cheers he aroused were no less than those of O’Neal, who played the finale.

As the person with the most famous reputation and record in the era of the four shooting guards, Kobe can welcome his cheers no matter which away game he goes to.

O’Neal is no exception!

It’s just that the cheers and boos that the Big Shark welcomed were mixed together. This guy who went from being the best rookie to leading the Lakers to three consecutive championships and established a dynasty left a very deep impression on all the fans in the league.

Fans love and hate this big guy.

Love it very much, hate it very much!

As for why the Zen Master put Kobe in the second-to-last appearance instead of the finale, it seems to have revealed the Lakers’ game plan today intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, the appearance of the Lakers, the visiting team, is just an appetizer, and the real heavyweight plan is the Knicks.

Prince, Kurt Thomas, Houston, Nash, the fans at the scene cheered louder and louder according to the order of appearance.

Even when Houston came, the fans cheering for the Lakers were completely drowned out.

Nash’s appearance was like a heavy bomb, directly bombarding the 3D surround sound in Madison Garden.

But even so, Knicks fans still felt unsatisfied, and they were waiting for that guy to appear.

“Everyone stand up!”

With the roar of the MC at the scene, this penetrating voice seemed to be a command, and nearly 20,000 fans at the scene all stood up.

“From the North Carolina Wolfpack! The talented center from China! The No. 9 rookie from the Knicks!”

“Wang!!!!!! Song!!!!!!!”

MC’s roar at the top of his lungs completely ignited the arena.

“MVP!”

“MVP!”

“MVP!”

The whole audience shouted with soul-stirring cheers, and all the fans looked at the Chinese boy who stood up from the bench and ran towards the team.

The whole audience’s attention is the highest recognition of the players!

At this moment.

The Lakers stood in a row.

The rookie was trembling directly, and the old bird in the team was even more envious of this scene.

Even Kobe, who didn’t blink when the ball hit his face, was slightly moved.

What else do you need for such a grand show!
