NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the last time.

Chapter 302 The non-existent watch

June 17, the day of Game 6.

Staples Center.

Today, the arena is more solemn and less lively.

The scene is no longer full of noise, and the solemnity on the faces of Lakers fans reveals the importance of this game.

In addition to Lakers fans, there are several uninvited guests in Staples today.

Several figures walked straight into the arena from the fan channel and attracted the eyes of people around them.

Asian faces are not uncommon in Los Angeles!

But there are still only a few who are as imposing as this. Especially after Yao Min was selected in 2002, after two years of baptism, almost all fans have a new understanding of Asians.

And this season, Wang Song has undoubtedly expanded this influence several times.

This has left an indelible impression on American fans. As long as they see a tall Asian figure, they will directly judge him as an athlete.

Therefore, no matter how Yao Min hides his identity, he cannot escape the scrutiny of fans. His height is too unique.

What’s more, this is California.

Chinese people gather!

As soon as he stepped into the stadium, countless domestic fans recognized him. Helpless Dayao, seeing that he had been exposed, simply greeted the fans.

“Dayao, it seems that your popularity in Los Angeles is also high!”

Seeing such a popular Yao Min, the leaders of the Basketball Association beside him were somewhat envious.

“Leader, please stop teasing me. Aren’t all these fans who greeted me overseas Chinese? Besides, I don’t have a good impression of Los Angeles.” Yao Ming showed a bitter smile. In the first round, the Rockets were almost swept out by the Lakers. Now that he returned to Staples, although not for playing, Yao Ming was still very emotional. Yao Min and his friends sat in the front row of the Knicks fans’ seats. Stern, who was not far away, greeted the visitors. Speaking of which, few people knew that the senior management of the Chinese men’s basketball team came to Staples in person except him. Although the purpose of their visit was not revealed, Stern also guessed that they came for today’s match. But Yao Min’s appearance was still a bit unexpected. After all, this guy returned to China as soon as possible during the offseason, and now he is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to come to the finals. Stern was the first to disbelieve that he came to see O’Neal’s performance.

···

It was not until the pre-match interview that Wang Song, who was reminded by the reporter, discovered that someone had come to his house. However, except for Dayao, Wang Song was not familiar with the other two unfamiliar faces.

Wang Song greeted them from a distance, neither too close nor too distant.

This was his attitude towards the Basketball Association as he understood it.

Everything can be discussed after the game. The most important task now is to defeat the Lakers and win the first championship ring of his career.

In the stands.

In addition to the Chinese men’s basketball team, many superstars were present.

Half of the Lakers’ celebrities were present, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, James Worthy, etc. They sat in the front row of the Lakers fans and stood firm.

Compared with the Lakers’ luxury team, the retired stars who came to support the Knicks were slightly thin.

Patrick Ewing came to Los Angeles alone.

As a former Knicks veteran, although he failed to win any trophy for the Knicks, the recognition of the Knicks in his blood cannot be erased by time.

In addition to the two camps, there were also some neutral fans at the scene.

Except for Paul, the four Banana Boat Brothers, James, Anthony, and Wade all appeared at Staples.

···

After Wang Song greeted Dayao and his group, he returned to the court.

He found that his teammates were more or less nervous, even more nervous than him as a rookie.

Compared with the insurmountable mountain of the Lakers, the Knicks teammates faced not only the pressure of the game against the Lakers, but also the pressure of self-limitation.

Most of the people present, including Steve Nash, only reached the finals in their careers.

No one in this Knicks team has ever won a championship!

So when

When you are in the situation, it is inevitable that you will have some changes in mentality.

Wang Song stopped the warm-up and gathered all the teammates together.

“Steve, have you ever won a championship?”

Nash shook his head slowly.

“Kurt, have you ever won a championship?”

“Wang, do you know? You played the biggest joke of the century on me.”

As a Knicks thug, Kurt Thomas knows that for a role player, the championship has never been based on strength.

If you are lucky, you can average less than 10 minutes per game and still win three championships in three years, creating your own dynasty.

If you are unlucky, you will be like his opponent today – Karl Malone!

After decades of playing in the NBA without a championship, he finally fell to the Lakers to get a minimum salary for OK to be a dog, ready to tie a dog crown.

Wang Song did not respond to Kurt, but continued to ask: “Alan, have you ever won a championship?”

Alan Houston’s slightly dim eyes flickered and shook his head.

“Tayshawn, have you ever won a championship?”

Prince smiled awkwardly.

···

Wang Song asked many teammates in a row, and most of them saw the lack of confidence in their eyes.

“Come on, it’s your turn to ask me!”

Everyone was a little surprised by Wang Song’s abnormal behavior. They thought that the other party would give a conventional encouragement, but they still didn’t understand what the other party was going to do.

But fortunately, no one stupidly asked the sentence “Wang, isn’t this your first finals in your life?” Seeing that everyone was silent, the intimate elder brother Feng Zhizi read the line that Wang Song had been thinking about.

“Wang, have you ever won an NBA championship?”

Wang Song raised his left hand, looked at the empty wrist, and then glanced at the big screen above his head, and slowly said: “In about 2 hours, I will get the first NBA championship trophy in my life.”

Silence is the most absolute affirmation of the Knicks teammates for the Asian boy at this moment.

In contrast, the fans’ slogans in the stands were dazzling and unbearable.

[Soft-hearted Chinese, what kind of center is a three-point shooter? ]

[The only tough guy in the league – Shaquille O’Neal! ]

[The man who dominated the NBA’s interior for 10 years is in the Lakers! ]

···

Slogans like these were overwhelming.

Obviously, in the key battle, the Lakers management also chose a gentle approach to the fans.

They did everything they could to try to provide the Lakers, the team that was about to continue the dynasty, with help within their capabilities.
