Chapter 293 Double first, the finals start

   No. 5, the game day of the G1 game of the NBA 94/95 season finals.

   Before nine o'clock in the morning, a group of Suns came to Pharaoh's room, and Yu Feihong also came, waiting for the league to announce the best lineup and best defensive lineup for this year's regular season.

The    movie channel has been tuned, TNT TV, last night's show by the female host named Cathy is called NBA Frontline Channel.

   At nine o'clock, the show started, and after the beauty had talked a bit, the list of the best defensive team was announced.

   First announced is the best defensive second team, which are Dikembe…

   "Old K, you're definitely in for a while."

   "Mutombo, this DPOY, didn't play defense for a while, old K, congratulations, it must be you at the 5th position for a while."

   Only saw Mutombo's name, and everyone immediately started talking.

  Pharaoh himself also had a grin on his face, with a strong sense of anticipation.

   "You wouldn't choose that MVP dream, would you?" Yu Feihong asked worriedly.

   "Probably not, Mutombo didn't make it for a while, and Big Dream is even less qualified." Old Wang said expectantly.

   Next, the best defensive first team was announced, and five names appeared on the TV screen, namely Wang Tiejun, Rodman, Pippen, Jordan, and Gary Payton.

   "Yes, yes!" Yu Feihong pointed at the TV and shouted.

   "It's done!"

   Old Wang shouted excitedly.

   This is his first first team. Although it is a defensive first team, it is just as important. Defense was his weakness before. This first team is even more important to him than the best team. It is an affirmation of his defense.

   "Congratulations, Mr. K!"

  Everyone said with joy.

After the lively   , the most important best lineup in the back also began to be announced, first of all, the three teams.

  I don't care about other positions. Pharaoh and the others are only looking at the center position. No, there is no his name in the third team. The center is Shaquille O'Neal, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

   Because of his performance, it is impossible not to be in the best team, it only depends on the first team, if not in the third team, then it must be in the second team or first team.

   The next second team came out, but without him, the center is a big dream.

   "Old K, I want a treat, this is a double burst!" Kevin Johnson said with envy.

His strength in his prime is also considered to be the top point guard in the league, but unfortunately, he ran into Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Isaiah Thomas and these guys. In those years, he was only selected for 4 The second best second team and one third team, there was none for a while, and now the old K was selected for the double first team, it is false not to envy. Double first team is the representative of status, without this, can not be called a top star.

   Everyone was congratulating, when they came out, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to the TV.

  Pharaoh himself is also nervous, and there is another David Robinson. Da Meng's personal data is not as good as him, but better than O'Neal and David Robinson, but what if the league becomes nervous?

"yeah!"

   At this moment, Yu Feihong and the others burst into cheers.

   "Old K, when will you treat me?" Dan Marley shouted excitedly, and the others also joined in.

  Pharaoh looked at the TV screen. The name on the top was his name, followed by Karl Malone, Pippen, Jordan, and John Stockton. He was really selected for the Double First Team.

   "After the finals, I'll take down the best nightclub in Phoenix." Pharaoh laughed.

   "Remember, old K also promised us to send girls." Dan Marley reminded.

   "Can't forget, we remember it for him."

   "Don't worry, he forgot, and neither will we."

  The crowd shouted in disbelief.

Colangelo came over and said to Pharaoh with a smile: "Old K, the double first team is a real super-giant standard hard honor, any such super-giant is of historical level, and it must be A championship winner can even influence an era. Congratulations, you are a true superstar starting today."

   "Thank you!" Pharaoh was very excited.

   Colangelo sighed and said excitedly: "From today, we in Phoenix finally have a super sports star of our own, which is great! It shows that our Phoenix sports business is getting more and more prosperous."

   Quietly turned on the system, Shuangyiyi provided him with a reward of 2,000 points, and now he has 2,400 points in his hand.

   Not long afterward, Wang Tiejun received congratulatory calls and text messages from many people.

   "Old K, congratulations!"

  Buckley also called with a very envious tone.

In his life, including this time, he has been selected for the best first team five times and the second team five times. Although his defensive ability is not bad, it is not as good as his offensive ability. He worked very hard and was selected for the best defensive second team once, and that was the only time, so the double first team is a hard honor that he will never get, and envy is not fake.

   The two chatted for a while, and Barkley suddenly said: "Old K, do you promote the VIP service of the K martial arts hall within the alliance?

   There are a lot of people discussing this in the league right now. Just say it, Michael and I will give you a shout-out to ensure that a lot of stars are willing to pay for V. "

  Pharaoh was startled, Michael, Michael Tyson, or Michael Jackson? You're not talking about Michael Jordan, are you?

   "What do you mean, Charles, you said it clearly." He said directly.

  Buckley snorted embarrassedly and laughed: "Then let me tell you the truth, Michael wants to try medicated baths and medicated oil massage, what do you think?"

Old Wang smiled, he didn't care, these two recipes had the greatest effect on him, and if others used it, the effect would be at most 50%. Making money was the most important thing. He also wanted to build a few skyscrapers on Fengshen Street. Woolen cloth.

   "I don't have any idea, Charles, you can just let him pay the money into V, just like you." He said.

   "Great! Old K, you'll make a lot of money by doing this." Barkley said enviously.

   "I have a big burden. There is a street waiting for me to build." Pharaoh laughed.

   "Old K, to be honest, can your country invest now? Don't focus on making money for yourself, can't you take us with you?" Buckley shouted.

Lao Wang is embarrassed and said: "Brother, I don't know how to do business, and I don't have that vision. How can I know if I can invest? What if I lose money? You are so big in the United States and the economy is so developed, you should still look for opportunities here. "

   "Alright, alright."

  Buckley is right when he thinks about it. Old K's brain may not be as smart as him. If you invest with him, the probability of losing money seems to be greater.

   Putting down the phone, he thought again, that's not right. I heard that the two recipes, Mr. K, invested 20 million US dollars, and now the prospects are very good. Isn't this little **** fooling him?

   "Charles, how's it going?" asked Jordan next to him.

   "Oh, no problem, you just need to pay for V." Buckley hurriedly said.

  Jordan nodded, and was very happy in his heart. Although I haven't tried it yet, I don't know if it really works, but it doesn't cost a lot of money anyway. One more chance is always good. Now that he is not too young, there is an opportunity to take care of his body, and he will not let it go.

The big dream next to him added: "30,000 a year, a discount for three years can save 10,000, or 100,000 US dollars. You pay early, I heard old K said that the price will increase next year, and the annual VIP membership fee is 50,000. He There are limited staff and only the high-end market.”

"what?"

  Jordan was startled, 30,000 a year, 100,000 discount for three years, what kind of discount is this?

   However, if the price is going to increase next year, it seems to be more cost-effective to pay for three years now.

   Well, he ignored that, in fact, three cheques for 30,000 could be written instead of one cheque for 100,000.

Buckley reminded: "There is another advantage of paying early, because it can arrange a massage practitioner earlier. Old K is going to open a branch in Los Angeles, where there are more rich people than Phoenix, and a lot of Hollywood stars are not short of money. , there will be a shortage of massage therapists in the future."

   "Understood." Jordan nodded.

  …

   "Defending! Defending..."

  From the morning, a large number of Bulls fans began to gather outside the United Center Arena.

At   , the Suns bus came to the outside of the arena and was surrounded by a sea of ​​people.

Colangelo deliberately brought the team over after lunch, so he was not in a hurry. After informing the security of the arena, the bus slowly moved inwards, stopping at three steps. It took almost a hours before entering the underground parking lot.

  As soon as they entered, everyone let out a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped from a prison.

   "Old K, congratulations! Are you very happy now?"

  “Old K…”

   As soon as I got off the bus, a group of reporters who were waiting in the parking lot immediately gathered around and congratulated Pharaoh for his double.

   "Thank you! I'm very happy to get the Double First Team, which is a great affirmation of my performance." Lao Wang smiled happily.

  Fortunately, after entering the locker room, I didn’t find anything wrong, there was no problem with the air conditioner, and then during training, there was no problem with the floor and the basket. The Bulls performed more aggressively than the Jazz.

  The game started at 8:30. At 7:00, the stadium opened, and countless Bulls fans poured into the United Center like a wave.

  Chenglong and others also entered the stadium with the flow of people.

  Red Fan District is scheduled to be released in the summer season and will be released on July 7th, and there is a lot of competition pressure.

In front of June 30th is the huge blockbuster "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks, the back is the $40 million blockbuster "Seven Deadly Sins" starring Brad Pitt, Disney's "Toy Story", Mel Gibson "Pocahontas", Jim Carrey's comedy "Flying Probe", Bruce Willis' Die Hard Three, and many other blockbusters, in short, the pressure of summer is huge.

   Originally didn't want to choose this popular file, but failed to hit Hollywood twice, not only Chenglong and Jiahe didn't have the confidence to fight a **** path in the summer season, but also the American publishers had no confidence. But in the end, I was greedy for the summer season and wanted to get a piece of the pie, so I decided to choose to release it in early July.

   It's the beginning of June, and it's only a month away. The publishers are already doing publicity, and Chenglong and the others have also arrived in the United States to cooperate in the final publicity sprint.

  Chenglong and the others don’t know about such a popular sporting event as the NBA Finals, but as an American, publisher Mike Roberts knows it very well, so he arranged for Chenglong and the others to come to Chicago and want to take this opportunity to publicize it.

   Entering the United Center, Chenglong found that besides the fans, most of them were reporters, and those reporters were interviewing some stars.

  What Tom Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Big Mouth Roberts, there are too many. The reporters interviewed all first-tier and top stars, no less than 20 people, and other second- and third-tier stars were rarely bothered by the media.

   But there are many people he doesn't know who are also being interviewed, and there seem to be more reporters around.

   "That's O'Neal, very popular."

Mike Robert pointed to a giant and said to Chenglong: "Last time you saw his game in the All-Star Game, he was very good, but not as good as the old king. When playing against the old king, he was often knocked over by the old king, and he knocked over. Old K has a lot less."

"There are more than a dozen NBA superstars over there, Magic Johnson, Kareem Kareem, Kim Baylor, Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Barkley, Big Dream, David Robinson, Ewing, all of them are superstars... "

   Pointing to the big men with the most reporters around him, McRoberts added: "Mr. Chenglong, you haven't signed a Hollywood agency yet. If the movie sells well, I suggest you choose a good company to join.

Look at the Hollywood stars here. Two-thirds of them belong to CAA. You should try to get to know the old K and join the VIP of the K martial arts hall, because many first-line and top stars in CAA are VIP customers of the K martial arts hall. , they have a good relationship with the old K. Through the old K, you can get to know many colleagues. "

   "OK, I will, Mr. Robert."

   Chenglong nodded quickly. He found that the sports stars here seem to be more popular with the media than Hollywood stars.

Robert said excitedly again: "The league just announced the best lineup in the morning. Old K was selected for the double first team. He is already a real superstar. If he wins the championship as a core player this time, his worth will be even higher. high.

   It is said that Adi and Nike have prepared a large contract of tens of millions of dollars for him, and he does not know which brand he will choose, anyway, Mammoth is not worthy of him. "

   "Double burst?"

  Chenglong looked at each other and didn't understand what this meant.

  However, with an endorsement contract worth tens of millions of dollars, they understand what this means. Even the top stars in Hollywood have a hard time getting such a big endorsement contract.

   "Look, that's the wives of the Suns."

  Robert suddenly pointed at the entrance and said, "Old K's girlfriend, Miss Yu, is also inside, the Chinese woman. By the way, she is also an actress, do you know her?"

   "Miss Yu?"

  Chenglong glanced at Yu Feihong who was walking towards him, but he didn't know him.

   But the director Tang Jili suddenly said at this time: "I know her, I saw her once at Andy's Tianmu Company a few years ago. She filmed Andy's movie "Heaven and Earth". She is very temperamental, so I have some impressions."

   Yu Feihong saw Chenglong from afar. After all, this is Chenglong. He is short, but he has a strong sense of existence. There are not many people in G who do not know that face.

   "Miss Yu, right, hello hello..."

   Without her taking the initiative to say hello, Boss Zhou from Jiahe over there took the initiative to say hello to her.

  …

   At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting rosters.

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

   Bulls: Clifford Robinson, Tony Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

The    Finals will be broadcast nationally by TNT, with commentators by Marv Albert and Kevin Harlan.

  Albert analyzed at this time: "The starting lineup of both teams has not changed, and this is also the strongest main lineup they can discharge."

Kevin Harlan went on to say: "We have analyzed it on last night's show. With the strength of the Suns on the outside, it is difficult for the Bulls to really cut off the support of the Suns on the outside for K, so I think tonight's game, the old K will dominate the Suns offense, and how much he plays depends on his fitness."

Albert reminded: "Actually, I don't think his offense will increase much, because it is not enough to have offense alone, but also defense. He will definitely put a lot of energy into defense and rebounding. You can't beat the Bulls with an offense.

  When the Bulls open the inside line, there must be a lot of breakthroughs on the outside line. If the inside defense and rebounding control are not strengthened, the situation will be ugly. "

   CCTV, starting from 8:00, also switched to the live broadcast signal. From this moment on, countless Chinese people began to watch this game.

   Zhang rationally analyzed: "The game will test the Tiejun's back defense speed, as well as the outside defense speed. His return defense speed determines the Suns' interior defense intensity, and also determines the backcourt rebounding protection.

   As for the outside defense, the glider will generally be on one side with him. I mean his speed of defense, which will determine whether the Suns can destroy the Bulls' inside opening tactics. Only if these two aspects are done well, the Suns will have a chance to win. "

  Suqun said excitedly: "Today it depends on whether the Suns' perimeter is strong, don't let Jordan and Pippen rush too easily on the defensive end, just create opportunities for old K to return to defense.

   I don’t expect to completely prevent their breakthroughs. As long as the old K can go back in time, they can force them to shoot away from the basket, the efficiency will drop, and the goal of returning to defense will be achieved.

   As for the offense, they just pass the ball in, and if there is a return pass, then throw the open ball in. "

   Zhang Lili laughed and nodded, "That's true."

   At this time, the starters of both sides are preparing to play.

   The two teams met in the player tunnel. They simply greeted each other and stopped talking. They were all serious and nervous.

  Pharaoh still stands at the front and will be the first to play.

  Kevin Johnson stood last, opposite Jordan.

   He sighed a little, he was lucky, he won the championship in 1993, and this time he made it to the finals.

There are not many people as lucky as him, like the Lakers legend Baylor, who has a 14-year career, was selected to the best team 10 times, made 11 All-Star starts, and led his team to the finals 8 times. He is the only one in the history of the league more than once. He averaged 37+ per game in the playoffs in a single season, but he didn't have a single championship. In the end, the Lakers won the championship in 1972. He only played 9 games that season. He retired in November 1971, which is considered consolation. Sexually gave him a ring, but it wasn't counted in the official records, it was just a souvenir.

   The three super centers are amazing, so what?

  Dameng and Barkley are great, but they are still swept out of the game.

   Opposite Michael Jordan, what a powerful person, forcing the league to introduce the Jordan Law, this is only the fourth time to reach the finals.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the old K at the front.
