0795: [Dream a good dream, LeBron]
"Basketball is never a crash course."
LeBron James was asked what he thought of Kobe Bryant's arrival in Chicago to train for Snoopy, and said with a smile on his face: "I think Kobe Bryant is just here for a vacation." ”
"He's not the one who decides the direction of the game."
James emphasized.
When the reporter talked about whether Snoopy stole his shine as the regular season MVP last season and whether he will take away the shine of the regular season MVP Dugg this season, he also replied meaningfully: "Let's wait and see! ”
For this year's Eastern Conference Finals, from LeBron James onwards, every Heat player has shown a state of ambition.
Last summer, the formation of the Big Three caused an uproar and even broke the NBA's convention: how can there be a peak group? And it is also the first team in the league to run to the league's top 5 superstars. Does this sound like a word? (Michael Jordan was taught a lesson in a row and didn't run to join the Pistons.) There were so many tragedies in the Jordan era, and Caron, Barkley, and Miller did not form the Avengers at their peak. )
That pressure has been haunting the Heat this season, and even on most of the road, James can hear the taunting of the taunts. When you return to Cleveland, you even have to hire a special security company to get into the arena.
Based on this situation, if the Heat can't win the championship, they will be under even more pressure. Especially LeBron James, if he is defeated by Snoopy again. Then, the praise he had previously had would be transferred directly to the younger and more amazing little duke.
Or to put it more simply, he will go from being the protagonist of the NBA to the male number two or male number three.
In fact, there is already a faint trend of this trend.
Snoopy was originally promoted as the first person in the new generation of the league, presumably similar to the alternate male lead.
But as the Chicago Bulls under his leadership become more and more powerful, and he himself won a regular season MVP in the 10-11 season, while breaking the dusty decades of history, he has already shown signs of stealing power. This can be seen in the jersey sales data and the sales of signed shoes.
So, for LeBron James.
There has been no retreat in this battle for a long time, he can only win, not lose!
If he fails, his brand value will be greatly reduced.
That's why he kept emphasizing the importance of the battle to his teammates on the plane to Chicago.
He even began to talk about his inspirational experience of crisscrossing the league with his teammates in high school, and he said it very emotionally, and his teammates were also deeply encouraged, and decided to follow Emperor Zhan to give it a go, vowing to kill the little duke!
Compared to the Miami's fierce horses, the Bulls seem to be much more normal.
Snoopy trains with Kobe Bryant every day in back-to-back singles. Derrick Rose led the players to practice DDM tactics, Lore Deng teased Joakim Noah and Courtney as always, and Stephen Marbury was still the political commissar of the team, telling the players and coaches the history of 'millions of heroes crossing the river', telling them that the horn of total victory was about to be sounded.
Although the Bulls are a little deaf to what is going on outside the window, it has to be admitted that most of the current basketball media is about the strength analysis of these two teams and the prediction of promotion. Even if the semi-finals were still going on, the nosebleed was knocked out, but it failed to steal the discussion.
Oklahoma was disgusted by the defeat of Memphis. They believe that Tony Allen is deliberately going for Sophorosa and Ibaka. At that time, the two defenders tore along the touchline and then embroiled the persuasive Serge Ibaka, and the trio rolled to the sidelines. In the chaos, the bridge of Tony Aron's nose was crushed by Ibaka, causing blood to spill on the spot.
Through post-mortem analysis, Tony Allen is indeed suspected of having nothing to do and dragging Ibaka into trouble.
But at the time, the three referees couldn't help but expel all three at the same time. After all, it was the home of the Grizzlies.
And when the Thunder lost their most important defensive force on the front line, their flanks were empty in an instant. The Grizzlies seized the opportunity to complete a comeback against the Thunder at home and then reach the Western Conference Finals as dark horses, where they will compete with the Dallas Mavericks for the Western Conference title.
The incident sparked great discontent in Oklahoma, with the Thunder's general manager and owner receiving fines for insulting their opponents and slamming the NBA headquarters.
They thought they would have comfortably claimed their sixth win without such nefarious tactics and declared their promotion at home.
Westbrook angrily declared in the group that this was a malicious frame-up.
The group members expressed their comfort.
However, this does not change anything.
It's as if even though the protests in Oklahoma are about to be broadcast to outer space, the focus of the media discussion is still on who will have the last laugh, Snoopy or James.
……
The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was played on May 17, 2011 at the United Center Arena.
This high-profile battle has been hailed as the NBA's strongest Eastern Conference Finals in nearly 15 years.
The front-row VIP ticket price of this game was once speculated to 100,000 US dollars, and the top rooftop tickets were sold for 500 US dollars, and the average ticket price per game directly exceeded 3,000 US dollars, breaking the ticket price record of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
This is hailed as the NBA's most commercially influential matchup.
David Stern smiled at this, and Jeff Reinsdorf couldn't keep his mouth shut.
According to Forbes magazine's authoritative prediction, once the Eastern Conference Finals reach a tie-break, the average ticket price is even expected to exceed $5,000. That said, it will take the NBA box office record to incredible heights.
Even Michael Jordan showed a look of surprise when he appeared on the sidelines.
The basketball god had been complaining that the Bulls didn't give him tickets, and the Bulls' explanation made him depressed: "Frankly, we only got four tickets. Before Michael called, I had given them all to Snoopy's parents, his agent, and Kobe Bryant. We couldn't disappoint the old Duchess who had flown in from far away China, and Bryant had arrived in Chicago even three days earlier. ”
This explanation gives Michael Jordan a feeling that 'a new generation has replaced the old, and he is no longer valued'.
He was disappointed.
Although, he eventually got a bonus ticket through a sponsor.
"It's crazy in this era. Seeing such a scene, I regret that the collective bargaining agreement has not been reached for a long time. Michael Jordan said into TNT's camera.
Although he acts as a representative of the management side. But he doesn't think there's any point in settling over a little bit of proportionality, and he thinks the NBA will grow by leaps and bounds.
When asked who he is more supportive of between LeBron James and Snubiddou. Surprisingly, he didn't say anything about the scene, but said, "Of course I would have preferred Chicago to win." I'll always be a bull!"
After a brief interview, TNT quickly approached Mr. Du Kefeng, a famous Chinese real estate developer, and Ms. Lan Fei, a famous sweet song queen, who were sitting next to Michael Jordan.
In fact, they had just finished an interview with CCTV Sports Channel, in which Mr. Du talked about his education. He emphasized that although Duge inherited his valuable sports genes, it is more important to educate him on the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor from an early age.
He even stressed in front of the TV: "It is urgent to promote school basketball, and we must act immediately to reduce the burden on students." Only in this way will more and more Dugg appear in the highest halls of basketball. This is also the reason why from this year onwards, every real estate development I led will have standardized outdoor basketball courts and indoor basketball courts!! ”
Get.
Mr. Du went around and around, but he still had to advertise his real estate.
However, when faced with an interview in English, he omitted this link.
In the past year, he has specially invited an English teacher to make up for it, in order to stop getting lost in the United States and when facing the seduction of American lustful housewives, he no longer only says uh-huh and aha!
"I'm so proud of my son. When he runs on the field, I can always see the shadow of myself when I was twenty years old, that is my lost youth. ”
"I don't know what you mean by duchess girls. But my attitude has always been very clear, I support free love, and I support the integration of people around the world. I don't have a narrow dividing line, I'm an earthling! ”
"I don't know much about LeBron James and I hope he can enjoy this game. Don't be discouraged even if you fail. There is a Chinese proverb that failure is the mother of success. Only failure can breed success, and we encourage him. ”
"Okay, thank you for visiting."
Although Mr. Du Kefeng's English has a local accent, his demeanor and aura are there, and he feels a little scolding.
And TNT also introduced the background of the little duke in the live broadcast room.
Snoopy's father was a well-known real estate businessman in China, even more famous than the Rump family in New York. He has a net worth of 10 billion. Snoopy's mother is a famous singer, and she is now also the owner of a famous entertainment company in China. ”
"In terms of background, Snoopy and LeBron are very different extremes. But now they're on the same pitch and it's a very interesting collision. ”
"Whether it's the little duke from a wealthy background who wins, or the little king from the slums who has the last laugh. It's going to be a huge win for the NBA! Throughout the NBA, with the exception of Kobe Bryant, you'd probably struggle to find anyone as influential as them. In fact, Kobe Bryant is still sitting behind the Bulls bench, and he's giving Snoopy advice. ”
TNT's commentator Earl Johnson was on hand to give a pre-match introduction to the national audience.
At this time, the starters of both sides took to the pitch and the game was about to begin.
Before the referee blew the whistle, TV cameras accurately captured Snoopy and LeBron James whispering at the technical desk.
Microphones installed on the sidelines record their conversations in real time.
"If I win this fight, your whole series is over." LeBron James told Snoopy.
Snoopy's response was, "Have a good dream, LeBron." Dream of everything, including the championship trophy! ”
