Chapter 628 Not big or small

   "Cissy, besides Cheng Long, Yi Jianlian and Sun Le will also come over tomorrow. You know them too. They are on vacation. They will be around the same time, maybe a little slower than Cheng Long. You can pick them up together."

   "Okay, Uncle."

  June 1st, rested in the morning, had lunch with Sissy at noon, told her to pick up people, and rushed to the headquarters.

  Before two o'clock, Sissy drove away from the villa, and picked up Cheng Long at half past three.

   "Uncle Long, Uncle has gone to training, let me pick you up."

   "Alright, when did you arrive?"

   "It arrived yesterday."

   "The last time I went to the capital, your godmother told me that she was going to let you come to Hollywood to find opportunities. What did old K say?"

   "Oh, uncle, he told me to focus on domestic affairs, saying that you said so."

"Haha, as I said, I really haven't made a film here in the past two years. Li Lianjie and I are both stars, and there is still a certain market. The market for your actresses in Hollywood is even smaller, almost no Opportunity to star. You have the resources of your godmother in China, so there is no need to rush here, first stand firm on the front line, and when the opportunity is ripe, with old K's contacts in Hollywood, I am not afraid that there will be no chance."

   "Well, I see, Uncle said the same. By the way, Uncle Long, I still have two more people to pick up. Let's wait a minute, they will be here soon."

   "No problem, do I know you?"

   "Yi Jianlian and Sun Le attend uncle's summer camp every summer, and participate in the NBA draft this year. You may have seen them, but you probably don't know them."

  At four o'clock, Yi Jianlian's plane arrived first, and Sun Le also arrived ten minutes later.

   Cheng Long really felt familiar. He should have seen it at old K's house, but he really didn't know him.

  The four of them rushed back to Pharaoh's villa. It was exactly five o'clock. After the three of them settled down, the chef had already prepared dinner. After eating, at half past six, the four of them drove to the American West Arena.

  In the evening, the American West Arena was already brightly lit, and countless people poured into the arena.

   "Brother Cheng, long time no see."

   "Old K, you must win the championship this time! I haven't seen you win the championship for several years."

   "I hope."

   At a quarter past seven, Cheng Long and the other four entered the arena and ran to the home team's locker room first.

   "Brother." Yi Jianlian shouted with a smile.

   "Brother." Sun Le also shouted quickly.

"Snapped!"

  Old Wang slapped Sun Le on the head, and cursed: "It's not big or small! Why, I'm downgraded. Are you going to let me call your mother and auntie?"

   "Puff!"

  Yi Jianlian and Sissy laughed.

"Ha ha…"

   Although Cheng Long didn't know how he got back, he also laughed. He could tell that this young man named Sun Le had a very close relationship with Old K.

  Sun Le glared at Yi Jianlian, covered his head and quickly changed his words: "Uncle Tiejun."

  Yi Jianlian couldn't stop laughing to himself. People from the summer camp in their class called Old K all called Brother, but Sun Le was called Uncle since he could speak, so he was as old as him, but insisted on being younger.

   "Brother Cheng, you guys go ahead, I have to prepare here too." Old Wang said to Cheng Long.

   "Okay, you are busy."

  Cheng Long nodded, greeted the other three and left.

  Old Wang watched the four of them leave, then turned and entered the locker room.

  Yi Jianlian and Sun Le are the people he cultivated. They are both 19 years old now. They were brought by him at the age of 17 to play in the NCAA for two years. Now they are both on the national team squad.

   These two little guys, after years of training, have excellent physical fitness, which is considered very good among people of the yellow race.

  Yi Jianlian, his training direction, or template, is Garnett.

  Sun Le’s training direction is Pippen. Now his naked height is close to 203 cm, and his shoe height is 206 cm. He has guard-level speed and plays as an organizational small forward, but he can actually play multiple positions.

  Among the two, because of the weakness of the national team in terms of personnel, he valued Sun Le more, and asked Pippen to help him teach Sun Le how to play.

   In the past, Zhu Fangyu was also taught by Pippen, but he mainly learned defense, and the training was 3D.

  Sun Le learned not only Pippen's defense, but also organization and offense, mainly organization and offense.

  However, these two young people still need to hone, and their skills are not yet mature.

  Mexican Stadium, the stars are shining.

   At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

   Pistons: Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Prince, Hamilton, Billups

  Suns: Wang Tiejun, Amare Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, Nash

  The finals were broadcast live by ABC TV station in the United States. There are more than 20 TV stations that broadcast live broadcasts like CCTV, and there are hundreds of other TV stations in the world that buy ABC satellite signals.

  There are a lot of media on the scene, and the media seats at both ends are densely packed, and the area near the bottom line is full of shots.

   There are dozens of journalists from China alone.

  At the on-site commentary booth of CCTV, Zhang Lili said after getting the starting list: "The starting lineup has not changed, but domestic fans may not be too familiar with the Pistons, so I will introduce it to you again.

The Pistons just eliminated Dayao's Nets. This is a team with a very tough defense. It is the team that averaged the least points per game in the NBA this season. Throughout the season, only two teams scored more than one point against the Pistons. Percentage, respectively, the Blazers and the Mavericks, and only once.

  The Suns and the Pistons played two games in the regular season this season and lost both, but this is meaningless because the Iron Army hadn't come back at that time.

  At that time, the Suns played a complete small ball tactic, which the media called running and bombing, and then they ran into the iron-like Pistons, and lost both regular season games.

So don't underestimate this team's lack of big-name players, but don't underestimate it. It killed the Pacers, the No. final.

   This is a very combative team, a championship-level team, and all the teams that underestimated it were killed by it. "

   After warming up for a few minutes after coming off the bench, the staff outside opened the door to say hello, Lao Wang and the other five starters also stood up, ready to go out.

He could see that several teammates were a little nervous. The four of them were all rookies who had never played in the finals. It was understandable, so he comforted him: "Don't be nervous, it's just the finals. If you can't solve the problem, give the ball to me." That's it."

   Several people, including Nash, were really relieved when they heard this.

   After all, standing in front of them is the active player and the first player in history who has won 6 championships in 10 years and 6 championships in 7 finals. For rookies like them in the finals, this is a towering mountain that can shelter from the wind and rain.

  In the locker room of the visiting team, the five Pistons walked out the door and walked forward along the corridor.

  Under the training of Larry Brown, Big Ben and the other five have condensed into a real team, just like a fighting machine.

   Far away, Rasheed Wallace, who was walking in the front, saw a giant standing at the fork in the passage, looking at them.

   "Old K, here we come." He hurriedly greeted.

"Um."

  Old Wang responded, and said: "Traffic, you and Ben teamed up to get rid of Dayao. It was a good fight."

  Big Ben came up at this time and said with a smile: "Old K, we will do our best when we are on the court."

  Old Wang nodded with a smile and said: "Show me some strength, it's too easy to win against you, I don't feel a sense of accomplishment!"

  Hearing this, Daben and Troll felt a little familiar, as if they had heard it before?

  At this time the visiting team played.

   "Hush!"

  In the finals, the Suns fans showed no mercy and booed heartily, trying to exert maximum psychological pressure on the visiting team.

   "Boom!"

   When it was the home court's turn, there was a double sky of ice and fire, and the cheers were like a tsunami.

   "The Sun King! The Sun King! The Sun King..."

  When Lao Wang made his grand finale appearance, the Meixi Arena fell into earth-shattering shouts.

  All the Suns players and coaching staff stood on both sides of the channel, high-fiving him one by one.

The governor of Arizona, the mayor of Phoenix, the owner Mrs. John, the old Colangelo, the Suns star Raymond Marley, his friends Dameng, Glider, Magic Johnson, Barkley, Kobe, etc. all stood at the exit and talked with each other. He hugs and high fives.

   Then Cheng Long and a group of Hollywood friends, including Yi Jianlian, Sun Le, and Sissi.

   "For the championship..."

   After taking over the host's microphone, before he could finish his sentence, the entire American West Arena, the entire Phoenix, was already boiling.

   "Champion! Champ! Champ..."

  The earth-shattering shouts formed an overwhelming momentum, which raised the atmosphere of the Suns to the peak before the game even started, and at the same time, it also made the five Pistons a little out of breath.

   At 8:30, the game officially begins.

   Lao Wang and Da Ben stand in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

   Zhang Lili said at this time: "Don't underestimate the jump ball. Sometimes when a scrimmage is formed, the jump ball can help the team get the ball. This ability is very important.

Don't underestimate Daben's jump ball ability. He is the shortest center in the league, but his jump ball success rate ranks fourth in the league, second only to Iron Army, O'Neal and Duncan. He jumps high and fast, and his timing Good catch. "

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh took the lead to push the ball away, and the Suns attacked.

   "The Pistons play man-to-man." Zhang Lili said immediately after seeing the Pistons' defense.

  The Suns frontcourt, chasing after each other, the Suns players are running, and the Pistons players are marking, which is man-to-man defense.

   Facing Billups' defense, Nash felt a lot of pressure from the beginning.

Billups played two seasons in the Suns, then went to the Timberwolves, and played in the West for many years. Nash was in the Mavericks at the time, and the two were also old rivals. They played 21 games. This is the 22nd game, including 7 playoff games.

   In contrast, Nash's average turnovers are 2.6 times, and Billups is 2.1 times, but the former has 7.9 assists, the latter 5.3 times, the scoring is similar, and the regular season and playoffs are similar.

   "Bang! Bang..."

  During the dribble, Nash suddenly changed direction, pulled to the left, the ball was pulled to his left hand, and then pushed suddenly, the basketball flew to the low post on the left wing.

  The pass was very sudden, the ball was fast, and it was a straight pass. It directly penetrated the Pistons' defense from the gap, which can be called a scalpel pass.

   This kind of pass slowed down the defense of Rasheed Wallace on the right waist.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh, who was concentrating on receiving the pass, turned around and slipped the next moment.

  Big Ben reacted too quickly, retreated quickly, stepped back to the lower right, and blocked in front in time.

"boom!"

During the dribble, Pharaoh just turned around and was about to slide to the bottom. When he saw Daben retreating, he immediately stopped and turned around again. During the dribble, he leaned on Daben from the left side of the basket to the left front side of the basket , and then quickly took off, with his left elbow stuck in place, against Big Ben, and a frontal hook with his right hand.

  Rasheed Wallace, who was fast in assisting defense, returned to the basket in time and tried his best to take off and block the shot.

  However, his jumping ability is mediocre, plus he was half a beat slow, and he didn't hit the cap, but although he didn't hit the cap, it affected Lao Wang's shot.

"boom!"

  The basketball hit the basket and rose.

"Oh!"

  Seeing that Old K's first offense was almost blocked by the trolls, the Suns fans exclaimed and their hearts arose.

  The next moment, the three people under the basket jumped at the same time, competing for rebounds.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh has a height advantage over Daben and a bounce advantage over the sprayer, so he touches the ball first, and hits the ball again, hitting his side.

  The next moment, he took off for the third time, caught the ball with both hands, and then took off for the fourth time.

  At this moment, Daben and Tuzi jumped to block the shot at the same time.

"boom!"

   The basket slammed.

   "Beep!"

  The referee blows his whistle.

   "Ohoo!"

  The stadium cheered suddenly.

   "Beautiful! Old K grabbed the offensive rebound and double-dunked Wallace." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "Huh!"

  Old Wang let out a long breath and stomped his feet.

   Jumping four times in one attack consumes a lot, and he has a more direct experience of the basket protection ability of Daben and Troll, which is really strong.

  At this time, the referee ran up, and both Big Ben and Troll raised their hands, indicating that they had fouled.

  The referee pointed at Rasheed Wallace and made a penalty for a thug foul.

"brush!"

   Extra penalty hit, Pistons attack.

The defense of the Pistons is nothing to say, the first in the league, and the offense is average. Although there are multiple offensive points, Larry Brown is not good at offensive tactics. According to him, it doesn’t matter if I score less, let you score less than me That's it.

  As soon as the undead masked man reached the frontcourt, he started a long-distance run, changing directions and running backwards from time to time, actively using the bodies of both the enemy and us to get rid of the defenders.

   Fortunately, the Suns played a three-two defense, each guarding an area, and there was no chaos.

  At this time, Hamilton ran to the right bottom corner, which is the weak point of the three-two defense, because there are only two defenders in the low post, and there is no man's land within three meters near the bottom corner, so he got an open space.

   "Whoosh!"

   Billups passed the ball.

  Hamilton received the ball, took a step forward with the dribble, and then calmly jumped up to face Stoudemire, and the ball slipped past Stoudemire's fingertips.

"brush!"

   Splashes appeared and a two-pointer was hit.

  Old Wang catches the ball at the basket, goes straight to the bottom line and retreats, and is about to launch a fast break.

   "Old K quickly post..."

  A live commentator started yelling.

  Small forward Marion made a quick move from the free throw line and rushed straight to the frontcourt from the middle, with no one around him.

   Left wing, Nash is one step ahead of Billups.

   On the right wing, Joe Johnson, who was going down fast, was of average speed, and fell behind Prince, who was back on defense.

   Stoudemire, Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace started near the baseline and fell behind.

   "Whoosh!"

  Old Wang made a direct pass to Marion in the middle.

   "Passed!"

  A live commentator gave a loud shout.

   After receiving the ball, Marion rushed across the center line with all his strength and went straight to the basket.

  Prince, on the right wing, tried his best to get closer to the center, but it was too late.

  An on-site commentator is yelling loudly: "The hacker caught the ball and went into the frontcourt, passed the paint, and took off! Ah, beautiful!"

"boom!"

   Marion flew up after rushing through the paint area, and with one hand, he used a tomahawk-style dunk to blast the Pistons' basket.

  Zhang rationally said with a smile: "This is the characteristic of the three-two defense. It is suitable for counterattacks. It is very good for chasing the ball."

  Su Qun said with a smile: "Generally Marion guards the flanks. Today, he is arranged to guard the center. It should be for him to fight back."

   Zhang Reasonable nodded and said: "Yes, he is faster than Joe Johnson."
