Chapter 1195: Tense Pre-Match
The finals of the Lakers and Cavaliers have not yet begun, and they have already attracted countless eyes.
As we all know, the format of the finals is a best-of-7 system.
According to common sense, it should be at least five or six games.
But since Shen Huan landed in the NBA, he has never played a fifth game.
All of his playoff games have been 4-0 battles, no matter what tough opponents he encounters.
This was true of last year's Finals, and even more so of this year's even more sinister Western Conference Finals.
In the face of the Golden State Warriors, whose strength has not been reduced or joined by a superstar like Durant, Shen Huan still killed them 4:0 and successfully met with the Cavaliers in the finals.
So after the Lakers and Golden State Warriors game ended, sports experts from ESPN and TNT sent out a vote.
A total of 133 people voted, and 123 people believed that the Lakers would definitely win the Finals.
Among them, 105 people even believe that Shen Huan will continue the direct miracle and beat the Cavaliers 4:0.
It's a bit of a heart-wrenching one.
Why did the Cavaliers play a total of six games to win, these psychological factors are also very large.
When James was interviewed, he had to cheer for his team.
"I know that the Lakers are stronger than last year, and I also know that Shen Huan has reached his peak after more than a month of games, and he is as tough as last year.
But in addition to the hard power that the Cavaliers have, we also have unyielding fighting spirit, and the preparation I made in the past year was to fight Shen Huan again, and now the opportunity has come!
If Shen Huan can have a defeat in the NBA, then I hope I give it to him!"
As soon as James's words came out, Cavaliers fans forwarded them everywhere, looking like "I'm not afraid of you".
But this feeling makes people feel a bit bluff and embolden themselves.
In particular, ESPN's Kenny Smith caught his last sentence to judge: "LeBron said that he wants to give Shen Huan a defeat, is this a loss in a game, or a loss in the finals?"
If it's the latter, I have to say that LeBron is too arrogant, and anyone who knows a little bit knows that the Cavaliers can't beat the Lakers.
But if it's the former, isn't it a bit too tragic for LeBron to do this? Just want a win, is this our former No. 1 superstar in the NBA?"
Kenny Smith's words spread throughout the country.
A good-tempered person like James couldn't help but scold his mother in private.
I thought I said that, but don't you point it out, I'm going to be shameless?
Compared to the Cavaliers' cheers, the Lakers don't actually have any high-profile claims.
Even Kobe, the black mamba, didn't speak.
Because he knows that the victory must be the Lakers, so as long as he adjusts his condition well and plays 4 games seriously.
All words can be said after winning the championship.
The only thing he regrets is that Kobe Bryant has been testing Shen Huan again in the past few days, whether to stay in the NBA and play in the playoffs for a year.
In this way, the result of three consecutive championships can rank fourth in history, behind the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls that year.
Although the Lakers have had such a dynasty, but the appearance of this dynasty in their own hands is definitely something worth boasting about for a lifetime.
However, Shen Huan still refused.
Three consecutive championships are good, but Shen Huan doesn't feel very precious.
In the next year, he will not only be busy with further research in agriculture, but also the extraction of graphene, as well as various development applications, which will take a lot of time.
If it is like this year, it will be a waste of life to delay a total of 5 months.
Iverson didn't help Kobe Bryant.
In fact, he will retire after next year, if Shen Huan can win three consecutive championships, he can also have such glory.
But Iverson is not the kind of person who would force his brother to do something reluctant for the sake of glory.
He respected Shen Huan's decision very much, and at the same time hated him a little bit for not having the habit of taking a helicopter to the training ground and the court.
Otherwise, it is justifiably proposed by Shen Huan, like persuading Kobe Bryant, to volunteer to play for a year, how good is it?
All right.
These are all off-topic.
On the day Game 1 of the Finals came, the first game was on the Lakers' home court.
At 8:30 p.m., traffic in downtown Los Angeles was paralyzed as early as five p.m.
It was an emergency dispatch of many police forces that allowed everyone to arrive at the Staples Arena one after another.
Needless to say, tickets for the finals are in one word - expensive!
It's so expensive that even many loyal Lakers fans can't help but resell the tickets they grabbed to earn the equivalent of 2-3 years.
Ordinary fans can only buy the rearmost position, or the temporary placement of the position.
The really expensive one is still on the first floor, in the front 20 rows.
Everyone sitting here is from a family with a net worth of hundreds of millions, or a star with an annual income of tens of millions.
Some celebrities' incomes may not be too high, but they still grit their teeth and buy high-priced tickets and sit in a prominent position.
This kind of exposure makes them feel that they will definitely earn it back.
After the warm-up, the fans behind Shen Huan were no longer a few young ladies, they were all sitting a little behind.
Behind Shen Huan was the general manager of a hedge fund company.
However, he didn't talk to Shen Huan about any fund investment, but talked to Shen Huan with interest about how to target the Cavaliers.
This manager understands the ball, he analyzed the tactics he imagined for Shen Huan, and his eyebrows danced, which made Shen Huan laugh when he heard it.
Of course, there are lucky winners in this game.
In the last game against the Golden State Warriors, the fans who stood up for Shen Huan and beat the man who snatched the child's things were also sitting in the arena today.
Although it is not the best location, it is a little off, but they are also very satisfied.
When a ticket has skyrocketed to 50,000 or 60,000, or 100,000, the Lakers can still fulfill their promise to let them watch the Finals, and they are already satisfied.
Not to mention that Shen Huan also gave everyone a pair of sneakers signed by him in advance, such a gift also made them feel that their shot was worth it.
Even before the Lakers and Cavaliers warmed up, the lights and cameras were specially turned on them, and the DJ enthusiastically introduced them to the big guys and praised their behavior.
Such glory is enough to make this group of fans proud for a lifetime!
