The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 745: War of the century
In the first five days of December, the Warriors and Pelicans each had two games, and both sides successfully won the opponent.
After finishing their respective games, the two teams will meet for the first time on the 6th.
In May this year, Mayweather and Pacquiao played a boxing match at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
The game lasted only 36 minutes, but the cumulative income from tickets plus broadcasts exceeded 400 million, so it was called the Battle of the Century.
Now the Warriors have 18 consecutive victories and the Pelicans have 19 consecutive victories. The two teams that have not yet lost in the opening season will compete in the New Orleans Arena.
The strength of the two teams' seasons, coupled with the grudges of last season, this game can be called the NBA version of the century war.
Tickets for this game have also been fired several times by oxen.
The live broadcast of the game is ESPN, but some media such as TNT and FOX will also broadcast on TV at the same time after consulting with ESPN.
The attention of this game is comparable to the NBA Finals.
The huge attention has also made spinach companies unable to sit still, they have opened the market one after another.
The market showed that the Warriors gave the Pelicans 1.5 points.
Although the handicap is small, the bookmaker is still optimistic that the Warriors can win this game.
The day before the game, players from both teams successively conducted open training in the training hall.
Both the Warriors and Pelicans attracted a large number of reporters to watch.
"I will not pay attention in the unexpected world. All I have to do is focus on the game and then help the team win the game. The Pelicans have become a lot stronger this season. We have also become stronger. I will do my best in the game."
Curry is still low-key in the media as before.
But his teammate Green has a completely different tone.
"We eliminated them last season and they won a few games before, but we will still win the game as we did last season."
Green's big mouth is really bigger than Buckley.
"The Pelicans have one more winning streak than you."
The reporter reminded.
"That has to do with the schedule. Dude, we have already played against the Cavaliers, Grizzlies and Mavericks before. We also won the Rockets twice, so what you said is not meaningful. I have waited to celebrate the bar after the game Now. "
Green didn't care.
"bar?"
The reporter asked curiously.
"Yes, I told them. If we win the game, we will go to the bar. The coach allows it. I will pay for all the consumption."
Green said with a smile, and he could see that he already wanted to celebrate.
But this is also Green, high-profile, big mouth, but knows how to get along with teammates.
Curry was not far away, and he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard such a terrible expression of Green, but said nothing.
Tonight's game has a very high degree of attention, and the Warriors cannot lose.
On another site, Tang Tian was also interviewed by reporters.
"Our opponents are strong. They are stronger than last season, but so are we. We have enough confidence to beat them."
Tang Tian expressed his confidence in the game before the reporter.
"And we have secret weapons, and I believe they will like them."
And in the interview, Tang Tian pretended to be a mysterious seller.
This made reporters very curious, but Tang Tian just didn't disclose what it was.
"That's a very powerful weapon, and you will definitely get excited when you play!"
Boyang was passing by at this time, and laughed in front of the microphone, and then ran away.
Tang Tian shook his head helplessly at the back of Bo Yang. Bo Yang is now the living treasure of the Pelicans.
"We know that when the two teams played against each other last season, the referee's penalties had a big impact on the game. Would you be worried about this?"
A reporter from TNT asked a more sensitive question.
This season the league is much more sensitive to referee speech than before, and many people have been fined heavily for commenting on refereeing issues.
So this reporter's question, it is easy for Tang Tian to get a ticket.
"I'm not worried that this game has received unprecedented attention on a global scale. This is about the image of the NBA. I believe that referees can definitely enforce justice in such games."
Tang Tian's answer is very clever, he is changing direction to put pressure on the league.
But this approach and intensity are just right.
Now that Xiao Hua's desire to control the game is not as strong as he was at the peak, he will definitely consider it.
At the New Orleans Arena the next day, the attendance rate on the scene was bursting, and the aisles on the second floor were full of fans.
If the venue allows, this game can be filled in the football stadium.
When training before the game, Curry threw a super long three-pointer directly in the backcourt, and he must hit in one shot.
This also shows his super hot state this season, he is creating a personal peak season.
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.
Cole started with five small lineups, outside splash and inside Barnes Green, and small forward Iguodala.
This lineup also expressed Cole's determination to win.
The Pelicans are still on the regular roster.
After the opening ceremony, there is a final three minutes of preparation time, and the commentary seat also starts to warm up in advance.
This game is broadcast live by ESPN.
In addition to ace commentator Brin, there are two other partners explaining the guest, one is the old partner Reggie Miller, and one is Jeff Van Gundy.
"Reggie, Jeff, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game? Is it the Pelicans at home or the visiting Warriors."
Brin said looking at the two guests, this is a must.
"Warriors, they have beaten many strong opponents in the past, but the Pelicans' winning streak has a lot to do with the schedule."
Miller's analysis coincides with what Green said, which is what many people want and can see.
Brin nodded, then looked at Van Gundy.
"The Pelicans."
He didn't think like Miller.
"The Pelicans have played a historic defense this season. The last team to do this was the 08 Celtics. The defense is determined, especially in high-level games."
Van Gundy is a defensive player ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ his analysis is very personal.
"But Curry's offense this season can ignore defense for some time, such as at the end of the game."
Miller was a little overwhelmed by Curry's performance this season, and he also retorted.
"Don't be the same. He is the player who scored the most points at the end of the season. He and Curry are players of the same level this season.
And you just said that the Pelicans' winning streak has something to do with the schedule, but their average net win points are also much higher than the Warriors. "
Van Gundy is a little bit on the bar with Miller.
Brin looked at the serious two and couldn't help but laugh, just like the two said. In addition to the victory and defeat, there was also a day-to-day showdown of Tang Ku, absolutely full of things.
As the commentary Xi Kankan talked, the two sides completed their final preparations, and the starting players came one after another.
The war of the century is at hand.
