NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The result of the opening game of the finals surprised the audience who were waiting in front of the TV on time and the audience at the scene.

There were cheers in Madison Square Garden!

Most fans, including Knicks fans, did not expect such a dramatic result in the first game.

It is not that it is impossible for the Knicks to beat the Lakers. According to the pre-match preview, even if the winning rate is not high, the Knicks still retain a certain chance of winning.

It’s just that the twists and turns of today’s victory, including the fact that the game was not decided until the last minute, made the fans feel very excited.

“Congratulations! Congratulations to the Knicks, congratulations to Wang Song for his first win in his career!”

“This hard-won victory was seen by all Chinese fans. Facing the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, the former dynasty founders, the Knicks showed full resilience.”

“OK’s dominance from the beginning of the game, the Knicks, who were in a headwind situation, did not give up easily, and persisted until the end of the half when OK had a disagreement in the locker room.”

“And the defensive strategy was changed in time, and the bold attempt became the Knicks’ winning magic weapon. It is hard to believe that in today’s young team, we can still see the calm attitude of those old strong teams.”

“What I want to mention here is Our young Chinese player, Wang Song, who is only 20 years old, can be said to be the key man of the Knicks. ”

“He not only led the Knicks to victory in the opening game, but also won his first finals victory in his career as MVP. This is undoubtedly the most recognized affirmation for a player. ”

“Wang Song, who scored 32 points and 17 rebounds in the game, is not only the first Asian player to enter the NBA Finals, but also the first rookie who can play such a terrifying performance in the playoffs against Shaquille O’Neal who dominated an era.”

“This is not only a personal success for Wang Song, but also a big step forward for Chinese basketball! ! ! ”

At the end, tears flowed in the CCTV studio.

For a former Chinese men’s basketball national player, Coach Zhang’s concern for the national team’s basketball is one of the best.

He is less than two meters tall and has always played as the No. 4 position in the national team. Although his performance has always been good, he is very clear about the problems exposed by his height disadvantage in international competitions.

But he also knew that it was not that the Chinese national team deliberately did not use tall inside players, but that it was extremely difficult to find a highly mobile inside player in the inside.

This is not only the shortcoming of Chinese basketball, even if we look at the whole of Asia, this problem exists in all countries.

Otherwise, a good seedling like Yao Ming would not have been able to easily get 40 points in the CBA, and would not have to wait for international competitions to be selected by the NBA.

Therefore!

Now that there is a seedling who can revitalize the national basketball team in the top international league NBA, Coach Zhang is naturally excited.

The appearance of Wang Song is not only a guarantee for the future of the national basketball team, but also a signal to the outside world.

Those countries and players who have always been prejudiced against Asian basketball will more or less change their previous prejudice against Asian basketball after seeing the extreme performance of the Knicks rookie in the NBA Finals.

After all, Asian players have naturally added a label in the eyes of most NBA players.

Slow!

Whether it is the back line or the inside line, most people have such a stereotype.

Especially after Yao Min joined the NBA as the No. 1 pick, this stereotype has deepened again.

Being big and slow has almost become a label for Asians. Their speed is not in the same dimension as most players in the league.

Wang Song, who joined the Knicks, obviously broke this inherent impression!

Especially his performance against O’Neal in this game, which gave Asian mobile centers a good name.

Against the Sharks, it is not the extreme tankiness that can get the advantage from the opponent.

···

The scene of the game.

Several sad backs appeared in the Lakers’ players’ seats.

The lonely Payton, Fisher and others were slowly walking towards the player channel to leave the scene.

This is completely different from their psychological expectations before the game. They thought of countless ways to win the Knicks, but they didn’t expect to lose the game with such a weird internal strife.

For this group of veterans who took a pay cut to join the Lakers, the contradiction between OK

Instead, they looked like a joke.

“Loneliness will become the synonym of the Lakers tonight!”

“They had countless opportunities to correct themselves and lead the Lakers to a more distant place.”

“But they did not seize this fleeting opportunity. The conflict between the teams became the most critical reason for the Lakers to ruin this game. If the problems between Kobe and O’Neal, the two main players, cannot be solved in the next series, then I think… the era of the Lakers will eventually end!”

“But then again, once the misunderstanding between OK is resolved, I think the Knicks will face the strongest opponent in history. For this, I hope they can be prepared for the next game.”

The scene of the game.

The front row of the audience.

The passionate shouts of the fans filled every corner of the Madison Square Garden.

Looking at the back of the Lakers leaving the field lonely, MJ felt a little sad.

“Michael, stop watching. They are all useless guys. They are not as heroic as you in the finals.”

Bird smiled and looked at the backs of the Lakers leaving. He felt very happy.

The yellow-green battle has always been an enduring topic in NBA history. As the two most influential and appealing giants in the East and West.

The two teams can be said to be a feud!

Bird has never had a good impression of these guys in Los Angeles in the West. So from a subjective standpoint, although he is not a fan of the Knicks, if he has to choose between the Lakers and the Lakers’ opponents, Bird will always be a loyal fan of the Lakers’ deadly rivals.

Unlike Bird, although Jordan came to Madison Garden, the home court of the Knicks, to watch the game today, he actually supports the Lakers.

No matter which aspect is discussed, MJ has reasons to stand on the side of Los Angeles.

Although the Lakers became his deadly rivals many times when he established the Bulls dynasty, the Lakers today are no longer the Los Angeles team that competed with him in the past.

Not only did the players undergo a major change, but even the head coach was his favorite Bulls mentor, Phil Jackson!

So whether it was out of nostalgia or the rumors that Kobe Bryant was his successor in the new era, he stood on the Lakers’ side.

Of course, there was another factor that could not be avoided.

That was the Knicks kid who was being thrown high by his teammates on the court. When Jordan thought of the Asian kid who was against him everywhere, he sneered:

“Wait, Larry, in the next game you will see the horror of the Los Angeles Lakers!”
