The Godfather of Basketball

v2 Chapter 278: The power of 1 battle? (Two / four!)

With the Magic team's promotion, the two sides in the finals also came out.

The Magic and Rockets will play their first game on June 3rd, US time.

The game system is the same as last year, and it is still 2-3-2. The Rockets have a home court advantage.

After the confrontation between the two sides, the major media began to become active.

The annual forecast is their favorite thing to do.

It's just that this year's atmosphere seems a little different from previous years.

TNT's latest episode, Barkley and Smith, and special guest Jeff Van Gundy, talked about the finals.

"Annually, the most anticipated NBA Finals is about to be staged. Which of the two strongest teams in the East and West will eventually win the O'Brien Cup that belongs to the championship, Charles, Jeff, said Tell me what you think? "After Smith started the conversation, he turned to look at Buckley and Van Gundy.

"This is an unquestionable question, man, do you think there are still teams that can play a series with the Rockets?"

Buckley's big mouth style drew a laugh from Van Gundy.

"Spurs? 4 to 1, Lakers? 4 to 1, man, these are the two teams with the strongest strength in the league, 4 to 1, I haven't seen such a score for a long time, that's not two bad. The team, that is, the team led by Kobe and Duncan, the Lakers won 64 wins! "Barkley said in the end with a hoarse voice, the performance score is full.

"Okay, okay, Charles, we already know what you think, Jeff, what do you think?" Smith turned to look at Van Gundy.

Van Gundy and Tang Tian have a relationship in the past, but after becoming a narrator, he supported Tang Tian most of the time.

"Before Kevin Garnett was injured, the Celtics and the Rockets will have a big fight, but now, if there are no injuries ..."

"Yes, injuries. We have to have this premise. That's how the Magic killed the Celtics." Barkley added.

"Yes, without injuries, I think the Rockets will end the series in five games." Van Gundy went on.

"Bo! So we agreed." Barkley raised his hand to Van Gundy, who raised his hand and gave a high-five.

"So what is your prediction, Kenny?" Barkley smiled at Smith.

Smith shook his head. Just as Buckley and Van Gundy were puzzled, he said, "This will be 4 to 0."

Barkley thought that Smith would have different opinions, but did not expect a more disparate score prediction, and then he burst into laughter.

TNT's program effect exploded.

But this is also different this year and previous years. Except for professional Rocket FOX sports, few people think that the Magic and the Rockets have a battle.

The four giants Jia Tangtian, the regular season plus the playoffs down all the way, is invincible.

It is getting closer and closer to the finals, and the media and fans are becoming more lively.

The Magic fans were dissatisfied with the predictions of TNT and the major media, but they were counterattacked by other fans on social media.

The players also have social media, and core players like Howard also know about it.

Unhappy mood is also spreading within the Magic team.

Coach Stan Van Gundy discovered this, addressed the players, and temporarily calmed down the mood.

On June 2, U.S. time, there was only one day left until the start of the finals. The Magic team blocked Houston and conducted the final warm-up training before the game at the local training center.

Although the situation seems to be one-sided, it is the finals. After all, there are nearly ten sports media at the venue, including TNT and ESPN journalists.

After the training, reporters swarmed up.

The Magic's core Howard is their main goal, and they are surrounded in a short while.

"Dwight, does the team have any tactics against the Rockets?"

"Dwight, are you confident of Yao?"

"Dwight, is the Magic confident of taking a victory from Toyota Center?"

...

Reporters' questions followed one after another, but what they didn't expect was that "Warcraft" didn't answer one at all, and their faces were always cold.

"Dwight, are you confident of playing with the Rockets tomorrow night? We know it will not be an easy game." Only when a reporter from FOX Sports asked a question, he said.

"Of course, I, all of us are ready. The whole world doesn't think we have a chance to win, but we will prove them, everyone is wrong." Howard said with confidence.

At this moment, he feels that he is the protagonist in the story. The contempt of the media and fans will eventually become a foil. He will lead this team to counterattack and achieve the most classic history of the NBA.

"What makes you so confident?" A reporter from TNT chimed in.

"Our three-pointers have never been valued. I'm the league's first center. I will lead the team to do it. Also, it is impolite to interject while others are chatting." Howard was upset. Said.

After that, he pushed away the reporter and left the training hall, leaving a bunch of reporters there.

It is said that although Howard led the team to the finals, but still a child temper, it seems that this is true.

Howard's words naturally reached the Rockets' ears, but during training, Tang Tian refused to answer the question of the media, and barred players from commenting on the matter before the media.

He didn't want to provoke a saliva battle between the two sides, reaching the finals, and steadily won the championship.

The Rockets chose to respond silently, but some fans were uncomfortable with Howard's words ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Three points? The Magic's four- and three-pointer tactics for the center was used by the Rockets two years ago, and they are more mature than they are.

As for the first center, no one is blind. Howard has performed well this year, but everyone can see him playing Yao Ming once and eating once.

To sum it up: Is there a force of war? As an opponent, you should have the most B in your heart.

The time came to June 3, the first match of the finals was about to start.

The Toyota Center was full, and after a long season and a playoff game full of smoke, they were only one step away from the dynasty.

In the locker room before the game, Tang Tian also made a final mobilization of the players in the locker room.

"It is not as good as winning a game of winning one hundred saliva battles. Our goal is to win a championship. This means that we have to defeat all our opponents, no matter who they are or where they come from. If anyone disagrees, we will defeat them. If someone is upset, they will be eliminated. The champion and dynasty belong to you. Rockets, go! Go! Go!
