Chapter 489: Fate
G1, NBA Finals, the most data-saving, ad-free site for mobile phones.
San Francisco has become the hottest place in the U.S. tourism market recently, with tourists, hotels, restaurants, and thriving business.
The average price of tickets to the finals has been speculated to $650 a piece, and the seats behind the bench and in the front row have even reached more than 20,000 yuan, nearly $30,000 a piece.
This is just the tickets purchased through normal channels, and if they are in the hands of scalpers, the price of the tickets is higher.
The tournament is hot, and the value of the players of both teams has also risen.
Byron Davis is also a top star after Yang Di, but fortunately, his contract expires in two years, and like Yang Di, he will become a free agent in 08. The Warriors haven't thought about how to renew the player for the time being, and they don't have any worries about that.
The Heat, the whole team had a meeting before the start of G1.
Pat Riley, still has his white hair straight and shiny, and his suit is worn on his body, making him look tall and energetic.
He stood in front of all the players, first arranging the players who started the game, and then asking the players for the details.
"We are the same as when we were preparing for training in the previous two days, you are the kings of the East, many of you are veterans who have been in the league for many years, you have the strongest desire for a championship, in this Warriors' home court, I hope you continue to be aggressive, play our experience advantage, and give these young people a good dismount."
"As long as we win the first game, we have a seven-in-a-ten chance of becoming the champion."
"Imagine the cheers in Miami and the number of fans who have come here to cheer you on! Imagine the flowers and honors that come after winning, how much a championship will improve your historical status, and a championship that will justify everything you have done! β
In the Warriors locker room, the players handed out special jerseys for the Finals.
On the shoulder of the jersey, an O'Brien Cup is engraved to show that this is a special jersey for the 05-06 finals, and the players are wearing classic white jerseys, while the Heat will choose to play in red jerseys.
The fans received commemorative T-shirts for the finals, representing the Warriors' traditional black, and the entire Oakland arena formed a whole black oppressive position, full of oppression.
The spotlights flickered and changed angles, and DJs played dynamic music, calling Warriors fans to shout "Warriors!" from time to time. β
&tv5, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia conducted a live broadcast.
Yu Jia said excitedly: "We can see that the atmosphere at the scene is very enthusiastic, the fans chant "warriors" and "victory", wearing uniform black short sleeves, creating the atmosphere of the devil's home stadium. β
Zhang Weiping echoed: "That's true, the whole season, the Warriors' home wins are about 7 into 5, far more than their away win rate, the first two days of preparation, we also saw the Warriors players meticulous, go all out to prepare, I believe that this game, the Warriors will continue their good form in the playoffs, play San Francisco momentum." β
"We also expect the Heat team to play well, and at the same time, we expect Yang Di to play his usual dominance in the restricted area and prove his MVP strength against the league's No. 1 center "O'Neal". β
As he spoke, the appearance ceremony began.
The first is to introduce the players of the Heat team, Wade, O'Neal and others immediately received strong boos as soon as they appeared, and it is obvious that whoever is strong will be booed high.
As for the introduction of Heat head coach Pat Riley, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the audience applauded thunderously, cheering endlessly, and rushed to the top of the hall.
The fans took out the sign in their hands, which read: "Thank you" Golden Operator "Pat, without you, there would be no Warriors today." β
"Thank you Pat for sending the "MVP" to the Bay Area, and the people of the Bay Area will always remember you for your kindness. β
"Please send Dwyane Wade over as well, thank you."
Pat Riley didn't change his face and waved his hand to greet the fans, but the battle didn't interfere with him, at least on the surface.
Wade, O'Neal and the others had strange faces, looked up at the sky, and didn't know what to think.
Then the Warriors players come out, and every time a player is introduced by a DJ, there is a lot of cheering.
"Let's welcome, our super insider, MVP, Yang~~~Dee~~~~"
The fans raised their arms high, and some even made bowing gestures, cheering "MVP" loudly, and gradually converged into a unified "MVP" call, a treatment that only O'Neill had ever enjoyed.
A flash of heat and envy flashed in Wade's eyes, what player doesn't want to be the MVP recognized by fans?
The camera swept over the fans, and then froze on Chinese stars such as Jay Chou and Wilber Pan, and everyone was applauding, they all wore the Warriors' black No. 8 jersey, and their support position was very clear.
Subsequently, Yang Di and others twisted their bodies on the court and danced a simple mechanical dance.
Yang Di stretched out his hand and stood in the middle of all the players, and everyone surrounded him and put their palms together.
βohreeοΌβ
βvictoryοΌβ
The slogan of victory was shouted three times in a row, and then the crowd dispersed, the high-powered searchlights on the court were turned on, and the entire stadium was as bright as day.
Yang Di took off his training jacket, and the air conditioning on the field was blowing directly before, and it was still a little cold when he first warmed up.
He walked to the sidelines, asked the staff for magnesium powder, patted it on his hand, then raised his hand, lifted his foot, and finally pulled the ligament, walked through the halfcourt, and arrived at the Heat's position.
Wade was the first to greet him, pointing at Yang Di, and then the two of them clapped their hands and hugged each other heavily.
"Good brother!"
"Good brother!"
Wade said aggressively: "Come on, I've been waiting for a long time, I'll do my best." β
"I'll do the same, just let the horses go." No matter how good the relationship between the two off the court is, they go on the court, each is their master, and immediately enters the role,-for-tat.
Yang Di hugged O'Neill and Haslem again, and these two were also acquaintances.
The other Heat players, Yang Di was not very familiar with them, nodded and pointed to say hello.
Subsequently, Yang Di walked to the Heat's bench, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Pat Riley and hugged shoulder-to-shoulder, no matter what, Pat Riley was also the person who picked Yang Di back then, and opened the door to the NBA for Yang Di, is Yang Di's guide, Yang Di has always been grateful.
The taunts of the fans just now Pat Riley were all calm.
But when Yang Di hugged him, his nose was sore, and he almost didn't shed tears, and sighed secretly, the regret in his heart has of course been with him until now.
"If I had insisted a little longer, the Lakers wouldn't have had to trade you, and I know from their later trades. If I say that the Lakers traded you to the Warriors the next day, I regret it, can you believe it? I'm even trying to find the Warriors to bring you back to Miami. β
"I know, many things are inaccurate, the world is unpredictable, it is all a coincidence."
"Come on, let me see how far you have grown in the past two years."
"Okay, Coach Pat."
