Chapter 319 There’s Going to Be a Big Scene Tonight

The game started at eight o'clock, and fans began to enter the stadium at six thirty. At this time, the two teams also arrived at the arena.

The Spurs' bus drove into the underground parking lot, and the Knicks' bus happened to arrive as well, and the two teams got off at the same time.

What a coincidence. At this moment, a sports car drove in and parked next to it. When Zhao Dong saw it, it turned out to be Jordan.

"Click..."

Knicks team reporters Thomas and Yang immediately clicked the shutter on Jordan.

"Michael Jordan, welcome to Madison Square Garden." As a landlord, Zhao Dongxian greeted.

"Feilong, I bet that the ratings tonight will not exceed 30 million." Jordan got out of the car, and Zhao Dong's face fell with just one sentence.

He was too lazy to pay attention to Jordan, who had a teasing smile on his face. He stood there and looked at the approaching Spurs with a smile.

"This guy doesn't want to do anything, does he?"

Seeing Zhao Dong's appearance, the Spurs were a little uneasy.

Popovich, in particular, felt a little uneasy because he thought of the famous scene Zhao Dong did at the Lakers' home court. The excuse was that the Lakers head coach didn't say hello to him.

He walked at the front, and when he approached Zhao Dong, his pace couldn't help but slow down.

"Damn, he's waiting for me to say hello to him first?"

Seeing that Zhao Dong was still smiling, but didn't speak or say hello to him first, he suddenly became angry.

"Crack, click, click..."

Thomas and Yang clicked the shutter excitedly.

At the same time, the cameraman who was with them also pointed the camera at Zhao Dong and Popovich, recording everything that was about to happen.

Zhao Dong really wants to tease the Spurs, including Popovich.

This old guy who is not old yet will have a high reputation in the domestic basketball circle in the future, because the Spurs have won several championships in his hands.

However, he hates this old guy very much because he supports the remarks of touching thunder.

Seeing Popovich almost stop,

He still didn't speak, just to force the other party to say hello to him first.

If Popovich doesn't say hello, he's vowing to make a big splash with the Spurs tonight.

Of course, I said hello, we have to have a big scene tonight. Otherwise, if we play in the finals with a team like the Spurs, how will the ratings go up?

If the ratings don’t go up, why should Jordan laugh him to death?

He could imagine that Jordan would definitely say to him, "Look, as soon as I retire, your ratings will not be good. This is your influence. You can't carry this brand of the league at all."

"snort!"

Awkwardly, he walked in front of Zhao Dong. Seeing that Zhao Dong still didn't greet him first, Popovich snorted angrily, quickened his pace, and rushed over quickly.

"..."

Old Nelson stretched out his hand and retracted it in embarrassment.

Popovich was confused. Not only did he not say hello to Nelson, Jordan was also ignored.

"Feilong, I don't have a chance. Do me a favor and take care of the Spurs tonight." Jordan glared at Popovich and said dissatisfiedly.

"As you wish." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Hey, Fei Long."

Tim Duncan said awkwardly.

"Feilong, don't cause trouble!"

Adm. David Robinson warned.

Zhao Dong glanced at Popovich's back with a smile, turned around and glanced at Robinson and Duncan, ignored them, and said to Jordan: "Look, I was about to greet him, but he didn't give me the face and accelerated past. I still I thought he was trying to break through, I thought he was humiliating me."

"I said, get him." Jordan said.

"Michael, Feilong..." Robinson's face turned ugly.

Zhao Dong still ignored Robinson and said to Barkley behind him: "Charles, what do you think we are going to do tonight?"

"To humiliate you is to humiliate all of us, to humiliate the Knicks, to humiliate Madison Square Garden, to humiliate New York. We are going to defeat the Spurs tonight!"

Barkley "yelled" with high fighting spirit.

"Fuck the Spurs!"

Danny Fortson and others immediately followed, clenching their fists and roaring, and the entire underground parking lot echoed with the roar of Knicks players.

"Okay, Mr. Grant, please notify the warehouse and prepare the backboards and basket racks." Zhao Dong said to Neil Grant next to him with a smile.

"immediately."

Grant said with a smile.

"You bastards!"

Robinson was so angry that his nose twisted.

He ignored Jordan who was watching the excitement, turned around and left.

"Ha ha……"

After the Spurs left, the Knicks players burst into laughter.

"let's go!"

Zhao Dong waved his hand and took the lead.

"Follow up, keep up."

Barkley and veteran Willis immediately greeted each other and followed excitedly.

After Nicks left, another car drove in.

"Michael."

Phil Jackson, who got off the car, greeted Jordan immediately after seeing him.

"Mr. West?"

Besides Phil Jackson, another person got out of the car, which made Jordan startled.

"Jerry wants me to go to the Lakers, and we are still talking." Phil Jackson explained.

Jordan nodded and said nothing.

Phil Jackson has terminated his two contracts with the Bulls and is now a free agent. He can go anywhere he wants.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries and then left the underground parking lot behind the Knicks.

After they left, many cars came one after another, including some New York celebrities, Hollywood stars, and NBA stars. O'Neal and Kobe were also among them, as well as Kidd and Tracy McGrady.

Kidd and McGrady came with Oakley. After Jordan retired, Oakley became the leader of the Bulls.

"Are your Bulls going to rebuild? Jason, why don't you come to the Lakers?" O'Neal immediately asked after seeing Kidd.

Oakley's eyes widened and he cursed: "Shark, are you looking for a fight?"

O'Neill said aggrievedly: "Charles, I'm just asking."

"No, Shaq, although Michael has left, the Bulls will not rebuild. We just need reinforcements." Kidd refused with a smile.

"That's a pity." O'Neill laughed.

"Hey, Tracy."

"Hey, Kobe."

Kobe and McGrady said hello. They had a good relationship. They were both high school students and outside shooters. They had similar playing styles and similar strength levels. They had a certain sympathy for each other.

"Wait me a moment."

At this time someone shouted from behind.

Several people turned around and saw that it was Vince Carter, the rookie UFO who was in the limelight this year.

This rookie was very popular in college. He was good at flying and dunking, and his style of play was violent and gorgeous. He was the focus of national attention. Before entering the league, he received a large contract with Feilong Sports’ signature sneakers. After entering the league, in just one shortened season, he With all kinds of gorgeous dunks, he gained a very big reputation and was known as the Canadian Flying Man.

"Hey, Vince."

"Tracy, it's nice to see you."

Maddie and Carter hugged each other with big smiles.

The two are distant cousins. They played in the AAU league together when McGrady was in high school, but they didn't know each other. Carter once gave his wardrobe to McGrady, who didn't have a wardrobe.

Later, McGrady went to a family gathering and met Vince Carter's grandmother. When the two were chatting, McGrady said that she was going to play basketball in North Carolina. Vince's grandmother said that her grandson played ball in North Carolina. McGrady asked , it turns out that the Vince Carter he knew was actually his cousin, and they just met.

A few people stayed here for a while, and some acquaintances came later, either celebrities or football stars, and everyone left the parking lot together.

"Really? Haha, then tonight's game will be exciting. Alas, why would Popovich make the same mistake as Kurt Rambis? Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself. If Feilong calls you, if you don't agree, it will Isn’t it too rude to just rush over?”

In the CCTV live broadcast, after receiving the news from Yang Yi, Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"It seems that Zhao Dong will give the Spurs some rebounds tonight!" Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

They got the news here, and TNT also got the news.

This year's finals were broadcast live nationwide by TNT, and the commentators were Bill Walton and Matt.

"It's a big feud. Coach Popovich is too impulsive. It's not fun to have a feud with the league's only signature star, haha!"

At this time, Bill Walton said excitedly: "In this way, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the paint area tonight. Whether it is the Knicks or the Spurs, their most powerful attack is the low post, and they will definitely compete there. A fight to the death, this is so exciting.”

"Guess the starting lineup for both sides?" Matt laughed.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "There is nothing to guess about the Spurs. The Spurs Twin Towers are the basic game. Let's guess the Knicks.

The Knicks have defensive players and offensive players. I guess tonight Nelson will be the defensive player, that is, Ben Wallace and Danny Fortson, with Feilong attacking on both wings in the low post and Duncan in the offensive position. almost. "

"Would it be too congested with two defensive lines? I guess one offensive and one defensive." Matt said with a smile.

"It's possible, then let's guess who it will be." Bill Walton said.

"Both Ben Wallace and Fordson are possible. Ben Wallace's height is a flaw. He can't guard Robinson and Duncan and will be beaten. I think Fordson, who is 201 centimeters tall, is slightly better and his defense is also very good. And the rebounding ability is better," Matt said.

"So the offensive insider, is it Barkley? Wang? Or Willis? I guess it's Barkley. In the finals, I believe Nelson will trust this superstar more." Bill Walton laughed.

"Then let's take a final guess, how many boards of the Spurs will the humiliated Feilong smash in order to take revenge?" Matt said suddenly.

"Haha..." Bill Walton laughed.

On the edge of the court, Jordan was being interviewed by some media.

"Michael, we just got the news that Popovich didn't say hello to Fei Long in the underground parking lot?" a reporter asked.

"Yes, Feilong stood there waiting for the Spurs to come over, and then..."

Jordan shrugged. He was embarrassed to say the rest, because even a blind person could see that it was Zhao Dong playing Popovich, so he had to be vague about it and let the media figure it out.

"In other words, the Spurs and the Knicks are feuding?" The reporters quickly became excited.

"That should be the case. Those guys from the Knicks are all clamoring to avenge their boss." Jordan said with a teasing smile.

At this time, O'Neal and a large group of players and celebrities entered the court, and reporters immediately rushed over.

Within a few minutes, a group of women entered the court. They were Knicks' wives, the only one missing was Lindsay.

There was no way, Lindsay was too far away from their circle, so they couldn't talk together, and they would feel awkward and nervous sitting together.

Don't talk about them, their men will be nervous when they see Lindsay.

"Crack, click, click..."

At seven o'clock, Lindsay came in with several male and female bodyguards, attracting the attention of all the media and cameras.

Lindsay wore a rose-red sleeveless dress, with her excellent temperament and peerless beauty. Coupled with her status as a Wall Street boss, even if she was not wearing gorgeous jewelry, she instantly stole the attention of all the female celebrities present. scenery.

"Miss Lindsay!"

Everyone greeted her wherever she passed.

Not only the players and celebrities on the sidelines, but also a large number of Wall Street elite white-collar workers who came here to watch the finals. When these people saw the big boss Lindsay arriving, none of them stood up to say hello, and those who were far away waved. .

"Miss Lindsay."

Some celebrities from New York's upper class also stood up from their seats and walked towards Lindsay.

This country has begun to enter the financial era. The influence of financial giants is too great and has begun to influence the economic and political affairs of this country. People like them cannot ignore the existence of Lindsay.

In fact, most of them usually have no chance to come into contact with Lindsay's level, but now is a rare opportunity.

"Miss Lindsay."

Nicks's wife team came up to greet them.

"I prefer you to call me Mrs. Lindsay." Lindsay smiled.

"Mrs. Lindsay."

Buckley's model wife, Maureen Blumhardt, quickly changed her tune.

"Mrs. Lindsay."

Others saw it and quickly changed their words.

"Ladies, let's have a party when we have time." Lindsay suggested after nodding gracefully to the others.

"Of course that's great, it's a great honor."

Maureen and the other women were very surprised and felt like they had picked up five million.

More and more people gathered around, and soon Lindsay was surrounded by water.

"Michael, unlike Feilong, Feilong does not work at Nike. Mrs. Lindsay is the president of Nike and your serious boss. Why don't you go say hello?"

Dameng said to Jordan beside him.

Jordan glanced at Da Meng, you know what the heck, last time in London, because he said that Zhao Dong was a soft rice, Lindsay angrily issued a tens of billions acquisition order, which directly led to Storm acquiring Nike, and his own MJ brand was almost Being deposed, how can I dare to go over and meet him now? It's too late to hide.

In fact, how did he know that Lindsay's acquisition of Nike was a long-established plan, and he just ran into the muzzle of the gun.

"Oh ho..."

In the home team's locker room, owner James Dowland piled a large amount of cash on a long table. The colorful banknotes were very eye-catching, causing a group of players to yell.

"Okay, no one can take away your money. Now focus on the game." Zhao Dong stepped forward and covered the banknotes with a piece of cloth.

Nelson then began to announce the starting lineup.

Yesterday, the coaching staff has determined the basic offensive tactics and defensive tactics for the G1 battle.

The basic offensive tactics are still the same as against the Bulls. Zhao Dong attracts double-teams on the strong side and creates opportunities for the weak side. Then he hits when he can and passes to the weak side when he can't.

This tactic is the most reliable, because even if Zhao Dong is double-teamed, his efficiency is guaranteed.

But what is different from playing against the Bulls is that because the Spurs twin towers have heights that neither Oakley nor Rasheed Wallace have, Zhao Dong cannot get too close to the paint area. He has to attract one of the Spurs twin towers in the mid-range area. go out.

In order to compete with the other one, the Knicks also had to maintain height under the basket, so Nelson chose to go big.

When he was young, Barkley could play on Robinson's head, but now he is old and injured and can no longer jump. His height is even similar to Larry Johnson and Big Ben, and shorter than Jordan, less than two meters. Without bounce, there is no advantage at the basket. This is the reason why Nelson did not choose him.

Another height is Kevin Willis, who is 213 centimeters tall. Nelson chose to make him a substitute because Willis's pace around the basket is not as flexible and his low-post skills are not as comprehensive as that of the Spurs. tower.

Nelson also considered the defense of the two. Willis has good rebounds, but like Barkley, he can no longer jump and moves slowly, which affects his ability to protect the basket and help defend.

Da Zhi's mobility and jumping ability are also good, and his blocking ability is better than Willis's. In addition to his offensive aspect, Nelson finally chose him.

Another insider, Nelson chose Danny Fortson.

This is considering that Da Zhi's rebounding ability is not very strong, and Fordson can make up for this. In addition, Fordson's single defense and assist defense are good, and he also has a certain shooting ability. Overall, he is more suitable than Ben Wallace.

This season Fordson averaged 31 minutes per game and 12.9 rebounds per game. He was only 0.1 rebounds away from the rebounding leader Chris Webber (13 rebounds). His rebounding ability is very outstanding.

This is due to changing his habit of grabbing rebounds, otherwise he could grab more rebounds. But because fouls have decreased and playing time has increased, his personal efficiency has made great progress.

At 7:30, both sides announced their starting lineup.

Spurs: David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Sean Elliott, Mario Elie, Avery Johnson

Knicks: Wang Zhizhi, Danny Fortson, Zhao Dong, Latrell Sprewell, Billups
