Chapter 638: The Hated Finals and a Different Opening!

On June 5, 2008, Seattle was already a sea of ​​joy.

"No matter how public opinion outside views this finals, for Seattleites, this is a carnival!"

“Whether you win or lose, you can have a great party!”

As a Seattle SuperSonics fan, Zach LaVine feels that this is the happiest moment in his life.

All coconut fans, all Sonics fans, can only describe Yes and the team's performance in the playoffs this year as fantasy.

The process is dreamy, and the result is equally dreamy.

And he, like other coconut fans or Sonics fans, is a witness to this dream season.

But, compared with other coconut fans or Sonics fans, he is even luckier.

He's one of the few people in Seattle who can see it all up close.

"Zach, don't be in a daze, it's time for us to enter!"

Amid Avery Bradley's call, Zach LaVine reluctantly looked at the fans outside the Key Arena square who didn't have tickets but were extraordinarily devoted. They couldn't witness it as close as he did. All this, but this has not affected their love for Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics at all.

This kind of love goes beyond distance, goes beyond many, many things, and even goes beyond victory or defeat!

"For us, in this year's Finals, talking about winning or losing is an insult to the other Sonics players who are giving their all."

"We have seen everything they have given us, and we can accept everything they have brought to us with pride!"

"Whether it's 4-0 or 4-1, we will turn these two Seattle finals into the most joyful finals in history!"

"Seattle, come on!"

"Supersonic, come on!"

"Yes, come on!"

Listening to the forgetful shouts of these fans, Zach LaVine's thin body wanted to cheer and shout with them.

But looking at this precious ticket in my hand,

Zach LaVine finally reluctantly followed Avery Bradley, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Wroten, Dejounte Murray, Joe Harris and others into the arena.

When Zach LaVine walked into the Key Arena, the atmosphere he could feel at this time was completely different from that outside the arena.

Here, although there is not the extreme fanaticism outside, there is no less enthusiasm.

Everyone has a smile on their face, and everyone's face looks like they are coming to a huge party.

Here, Zach LaVine can't see any utility or any entanglement.

It seems that everyone comes here to enjoy and enjoy the first time that Yes brings to everyone, the most novel and the most unforgettable first time.

"Thomas!"

"Stephen!"

"Spencer!"

When Zach Lavin looked at this completely different scenery curiously, the familiar figures in front made him feel that this was a huge banquet.

Curry, Isiah Thomas, Spencer Hollins, Pondexter, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson…

Everyone's faces were filled with anticipation for this banquet.

"This is the master's first finals. I have no other requirements. As long as I see the master get his first finals score, first finals rebound, and first finals assist in the game, I I’m happy.”

"me too!"

"And I!"

"Hahahaha, me too!"

Looking at these good friends around him who had no pressure on their faces, Zach Lavin's big eyes were bright and his little head was nodding crazily.

I really hope that Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics warriors will not feel any pressure and just enjoy their first time.

For Seattle fans, this finals is a huge party.

For the NBA, this finals is also a huge party.

The whole world knows that the protagonist, and the whole world also knows that the league's president and David Stern and countless people with interests in the NBA are waiting for Yes to enter the finals.

Because such benefits are simply too huge.

This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Boston Celtics is the first finals of Yes' career.

Even if this game is destined to be a failure for Yes, the pre-game ratings predictions for this game are already destined to break the NBA's ratings record!

You know, the NBA's ratings record is more than 40% of the ratings when Yes completed the perfect ten-game winning streak!

In the five days since Yes led the Seattle SuperSonics to the Finals, David Stern, the NBA, and other major media that have cooperated with the NBA have been building momentum for this game.

Crazy campaign!

The goal of these crazy campaigners is very clear, that is, in every blind spot in the United States, everyone knows that such a game exists and that there is a miracle creator named Yes!

These American media have a very accurate grasp of the humanity of Americans.

Just watch the fun.

The whole world knows what American humanity is like.

This is a country that loves to watch the excitement.

When there is such a lively event in the world, even if they have never watched an NBA game, some people who don’t even know what the NBA is or what basketball is will choose to turn on the TV and watch on this day. Watch this game in front of the TV, which has been exaggerated by national public opinion as if you don't watch it, you will be out of touch with the times and society.

"What a huge benefit!"

In the stands, David Stern's eyes were full of love as he watched Yes shooting in the center circle while being interviewed by Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Whether it's the big contract signed by the NBA or the NBA's rising ratings in the past two years, David Stern has felt the huge influence of Yes on business.

But even so, when the finals came and the whole world seemed to revolve around the NBA, David Stern was still shocked.

He always thought that he was the person who knew the business value of Yes best, but in the end he found that he had underestimated it.

The only pity for David Stern is that the greatest benefit is only the first game.

When Yes and the Sonics lose in the first game, such huge attention may drop by half.

Americans like to watch the fun, but they also like to chase the winner!

The reason why Yes is so chased in the United States is that in addition to the fairy tale factor in him, the winner factor in him also plays a large role.

With Yes, his fairy tales can unite literary and artistic fans, his victories can unite ordinary fans, and his huge commercial nature can unite passerby fans.

And this is why he made such a huge difference to the NBA!

"President, we can continue to enjoy such benefits!"

The somewhat sinister bald man next to David Stern respectfully suggested.

When he heard the people around him say this, David Stern frowned slightly, but because the amplitude was too small, no one noticed it.

Adam Silver's words made David Stern very disappointed. Adam Silver is still the vice president of the NBA, but he is already an ordinary vice president. There are many such vice presidents.

David Stern is very sorry for his former prince.

However, it is a blessing to be able to see his true nature.

"Adam, you need to try to believe in Yes. Don't let the immediate benefits blind you. The future he brings to the NBA can be even broader!"

In order to continue the huge benefits of this year's finals, he can indeed operate with the league.

However, there are no fools in this world, there is a cause and a result.

In the last round of the series between the Rockets and the SuperSonics, Adelman almost killed Yes. Wasn't it because he was avenging the NBA in the first place and almost returning the consequences to the NBA in the end?

Now that Yes has finally cleared the NBA, and now that the NBA has finally embarked on the right path, let him go to muddy waters again?

Haha, he is stupid!

In other words, those who are willing to lead the alliance into troubled waters despite such a huge advantage are not smart, they are real idiots.

The successor next to him, whom he had high hopes for, was such an idiot.

Just like the former Rockets deputy general manager.

"As long as I am here, I will protect the best Yes!"

"I won't let any stain appear on him!"

"The NBA can have many, many successful people, but there can only be one!"

David Stern had confidence written all over his face as he watched the Sonics 9 visit with Barkley, the face-impaired receiver.

Such confidence is not a Yes to the present, but a Yes to the future!

The NBA Finals matchup between the Seattle SuperSonics and Boston Celtics has been very grand.

It was so grand that even the Boston Celtics players were a little shocked.

Most of the Boston Celtics players played in the Finals last year.

But even so, as long as you feel the unparalleled attention from the United States before the finals, it will make people feel excited and very uncomfortable at the same time.

I'm not kidding.

Even Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Doc Reeves all felt uncomfortable and incredible.

but……

"This is good for us!"

"The bigger this game is and the more glamorous this series is, the better it is for us!"

This is what Doc Reaves said in the locker room before the game.

Such words were recognized by the entire Celtics players.

"Those of us who have played in the Finals will feel uncomfortable, but what about the Yes and Sonics players?"

"It is said that the playoffs and the regular season are completely different games, and the finals and playoffs are also completely different games!"

"Nearly everyone on our Boston Celtics has Finals experience."

"And what about the SuperSonics? Mariquez, who has the most experience, can't even play now."

"As for the remaining Milicic, his playing time in the finals is negligible."

"No kidding, even Tony, his experience in the finals can defeat the entire Seattle SuperSonics!"

Tony Allen was still very shy when being called out by Doc Reeves.

However, what Doug said is also true.

In this series, they have too many advantages that the Seattle SuperSonics cannot match.

"Yes, the game is about to start. Do you think this is a very, very special game?"

"No."

"Yes, I understand your answer means that you will try to play the finals as a playoff or regular season, is that right?"

"no."

Hearing the huge laughter coming from the scene, Barkley felt like crying.

As the live host of TNT and the warm-up host of this finals, is it easy for him?

Yes, I'm asking you tonight about your feelings about playing the Finals for the first time. Even if you just perfunctoryly say that the Finals are indeed very different from other NBA games.

But what do you mean?

He looks very disgusted with the finals, and he looks like he wants to vomit when he hears about the finals. Is this how a normal person should behave?

You and these Sonics players worked so hard in the regular season and playoffs, wasn't it just to get to the finals? !

Thinking of this, Barkley, who was almost crying because of Yes tonight, finally found another problem.

"Yes, we all know that what you have always dreamed of most is to stand on the stage of the finals. Now that you are finally here, do you feel the excitement in your heart at this time?"

"No."

Yesi looked at Buckley seriously and shook his head.

Seeing Yees like this, Barkley's mouth twitched a little, while Kenny Smith next to him, the SuperSonics fans at the scene, and the audience in front of the TV were all laughing crazy.

"Also, what I dream of most is not the finals."

Seeing Ye Si's face still showing disgust when the finals were mentioned, Barkley and many others had question marks on their heads.

They really didn't think Yes had such an attitude towards the finals before!

"What I dream of most is to win the championship!"

"I don't like finals, and I hate losing finals even more."

After Ye Si looked at Buckley calmly and finished speaking, he turned and left.

After Yes turned around and left, Barkley and Kenny Smith were left stunned.

I don’t like the finals, and I hate losing in the finals even more?

Kobe was chewing on what Ye Si just said.

For a while, I didn’t quite understand something.

Isn't this how he felt when he finished the 2004 Finals?

At that time, he particularly hated the finals, and the finals had already caused a psychological shadow on him.

But even if I have such a state of mind, it is not as strong an emotion as Yes.

A junior brother, but he shows a feeling of being happy with the flowers and seeing through the world of mortals. What is going on?

"but……"

Yes’s words are really similar to what he said before, ‘The runner-up is the biggest loser’!

Just as Kobe was chewing and savoring what Ye Si just said, with a loud noise, the 2008 Finals finally kicked off!

An incredible start!

"Incredible jumping, incredible strength confrontation, incredible shot-blocking skills!"

"After Yes successfully defeated Pierce in the first attack, he sent Pierce a big volleyball-style risk!"

This, defensive aggression? !

How can this be? !

Looking at Pierce, who had just completed a back-turn pass and was knocked over, Douglas Reeves on the sidelines opened his mouth so wide that he could put several eggs in it.
