Chapter 722: Re-entry Final Decision II
The NBA has set the 06-07 Finals at 5:30 p.m. local time in San Francisco on June 7.
San Francisco began to prepare for the Finals, Oakland was filled with fans wearing Warriors jerseys, and the official NBA store sold out commemorative T-shirts for the Finals.
The best seller is, of course, Yang Di's jersey, which ranks first in the league in jersey sales this year, and in this regard, he is already a superstar.
The Cavaliers arrived in Oakland two days early to familiarize themselves with the venue and prepare for the Finals.
It was LeBron James' first Finals and the first for many on the Cavaliers, and Cleveland came with dreams and hopes to make history for them.
The atmosphere of the finals is even more different, the San Francisco area is like a holiday, and all walks of life have a great excitement.
The number of visitors to the San Francisco area continued to increase after April, peaking in June.
Among them, the number of tourists from Asia is the most staggering.
There are already many Chinese in San Francisco, but now they are stimulated by Yang Di, and you can see Chinese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin all over the street, walking on the street, hearing others communicate in Chinese, there are not a few.
By 4 p.m. on June 7, outside the Oracle Arena, fans had begun to enter the stadium one after another.
The fans wore the classic white jersey and fought at home, with the goal of turning the home stadium into a sea of white, and the numbers of the jerseys were mostly 8, 3, 20 and so on.
NBA aerial cameras flew over Oracle's head to see the city's sporting celebrations.
Bay Area fans are fanatical, they love sports, they love the Warriors, and they love Yang Di.
In the parking lot outside the Oracle Arena, thousands of parking spaces are all full, and the underground parking lot of the Oracle Arena is also being fed in one after another.
At 5:20, inside the stadium, more than 20 cameras were aimed at the entire stadium to ensure 360-degree shooting without dead ends.
On the fan seats, as far as the eye can see, the snow is white, and it is spectacular.
Oracle Arena was packed, the noise was at an all-time high, and all the fans were excited to see the Warriors win another championship.
When the players enter, they first introduce the away team.
"Center, Zajunas Ilgoskas, 7'3" tall and weighs 110 kilograms, power forward Drew Gooden, who is 6'10" tall and weighs 113 kilograms, small forward LeBron James, who is 6'8" tall and weighs 113 kilograms, and scoring guard Alexander Pavlovich, who is 6'8" tall and weighs 100 kilograms, and point guard Larry Hughes, who is 6'5" tall and weighs 83 kilograms."
The Cavaliers' lineup has a height advantage, in addition to Ilgoskas 2.21 meters, point guard Larry Hughes also reached 1.96 meters, which is far more than the average player in the same position.
Montgomery thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to make the decision to replace the starter easily, Derrick Fisher will still be the Warriors' No. 1 starter, but how long Fisher will play, Montgomery will also depend on the situation on the court.
Before the start of the game, players from both sides greeted each other.
Yang Di saw the eager LeBron James early, and at the age of 23, he is wearing the number 23 and is attacking for the first championship trophy in his life.
"I finally caught up with you, I won the championship last year, and I've always wanted to do the same thing with you."
"It's very interesting to meet you in the finals."
The two greeted each other, after all, they were good friends in the four corners, and there was not too much tension on the field.
From the opening of the players to the official game, time flows extremely fast.
Soon, the referee came on the field, holding the ball and preparing to kick off.
At 5:30, the basketball was thrown straight into the air, and in a cheer, the finals officially began!
.......
Tyson Chandler jumped with Yao Ming in the last round, and basically won more, and this time he kicked off with the big Z who didn't jump, and easily won the victory.
In the NBA, players over 2.15 meters can still jump like Tyson Chandler, and the last most famous player is called Shaquille O'Neal.
The difference is that Tyson Chandler started out as a bamboo pole man and is only getting stronger now, while O'Neal was a superman in weight as soon as he entered the league, and his huge body was still flying in the sky, which was a nightmare for defenders.
The Warriors took control of the first wave of offensive opportunities.
The jerseys of the players of the two teams are embroidered with an O'Brien Cup, and the floor of the Oracle Arena is also specially made for two championship trophies, and everything seems to have changed the atmosphere.
The Warriors wear a white jersey at home, while the Cavaliers wear a red jersey.
Fisher held the ball from the outside, Ray Allen started in the bottom corner, suddenly started and cut to the basket, and Jandy and Chandler both shot the goal to help Ray Allen block his defender Alexander Pavlovich.
Aleksandar Pavlovich, who was also a player in the class of '03 with the 19th pick, is also a well-known scorer for Serbia and has been playing the role of a shooting point on the outside of the Cavaliers, averaging nine points per game this season, including a whopping 40.5 percent three-point shooting.
Pavlovich was blocked by Jandy and Tyson Chandler, and when he went around to find Ray Allen, he found that LeBron had already filled in for him.
Similarly, Gooden helped James fill in the position, spread his feet out, and was ready to pounce on Danny Granger at any time, and it was clear that his defensive awareness was still good as soon as he got on the court.
He turned his head and began to look for players who had open spaces on the field and needed him to fill them.
found that Yang Di leaned on his back and raised his arms high to ask for the ball.
"Oh, NO!"
Aleksandr Pavlovich's eyes widened in horror, and after taking the ball, Yang Di, like a beast out of water, leaned over with his back and hit the chest blocked by his bent arm.
"Bang!"
He only felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, his whole head was dizzy, his eyes were pitch black, and his ears were ringing and dizzy.
The Cavaliers were about to shrink the defense, Yang Di had already completed the turn, wiped over and rushed into the inside, Ilgoskas looked at Yang Di and raised his arms high.
Yang Di cleverly hit the ground, and Chandler pulled up a dunk to get it.
At this point, LeBron was just getting closer to the three-second zone.
"What a wonderful combination! What a wonderful back-to-back fight! ”
The first wave of the Warriors' offense played a team cooperation, although Pavlovich has a height of 2.01 meters and a weight of 100 kilograms, his strength is very average, compared with an interior hegemon-level monster like Yang Di, it is simply 108,000 miles behind, Yang Di has his back against him, which is equivalent to finding a misalignment.
