Chapter 270: A "Welcome" from the Away Fans
The two-game winning streak at home has given Los Angeles hope to defend the title, and not only ordinary fans, but even some well-known Los Angeles personalities have begun to find ways to get tickets to the third game to be held in Chicago on June 7, because according to the current momentum of the Lakers, it will be a miracle that they can complete the feat of winning the championship, which will never be seen in the history of the league.

However, Chicago did not prepare many tickets for out-of-town fans, except for some Bulls supporters who bought season tickets, most of the tickets were snatched by Chicago fans, and the number of tickets outflow was less than 1,000.
For this game that must not be lost, the Bulls can say that they will give everything for the victory, losing this game, and facing a 3-0 deficit, it will be difficult for the Bulls to turn the tables.
The Lakers only had a night of rest in Los Angeles after Game 2, and the next day they rushed to Chicago to prepare for the Finals, and any small change in detail could put the team in a bad situation, so the Lakers had to take it seriously in a good situation.
The Lakers were "warmly welcomed" by local fans as soon as they arrived in Chicago, and although they did not taste the extreme locally-made "freshly baked eggs on the bus glass" as Salt Lake City fans, the various middle fingers raised outside the window when the bus passed by showed the attitude of Chicago fans towards the Lakers.
In the United States, although there is no European football hooligan, but in the finals, the attitude of the respective supporters between the two cities will also change dramatically, even if most of the fans are more restrained, but there are also many extreme fans will attack and taunt the enemy, and the Bulls, as a dynasty team that only rose in the 90s, their fans are more supportive of local teams, plus Chicago as a big city that already existed when the United States was first established, They don't have immigrants of different races like these cities in the West, in Chicago, more fans are local whites, or even Anglo-Saxon descendants, so this kind of people will be more xenophobic, and the Lakers' star is an outlier in the eyes of Chicago fans, so the Lakers are more "welcomed", including some very extreme racist slogans.
Entering the late nineties, with the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis in 97, the economic development of the United States has also been affected to a certain extent, the unemployment rate has begun to increase, and Chicago, as one of the traditional financial centers in the United States, has also been greatly affected. So people from non-mainstream American groups like Liu Han are certainly not popular in Chicago.
Liu Han didn't say anything about these extreme slogans outside the window, he knew that he couldn't be welcomed by everyone, but he remembered these slogans one by one, and when the time came, he would have his own performance to pay tribute to these "welcome words".
"Welcome to the Chicago Union Center Arena, here is the upcoming 97-98 NBA Finals Game 3, I am your old friend Melf Albert, yes, you read that right, Reg Sager did not appear with me today, I think, a loyal fan of Liu appeared on the broadcast booth of the Chicago Union Center Arena may be splashed beer by the fans behind him, so the timid Rego chose to enjoy the commentary that Melf brought to him at home, of course, I'm not going to be alone today, but I'm sitting next to Mr. Larry Bird, Mr. Kevin Trasle, and Mr. Bill Wharton. "Melf Albert's partner changed today, as the clear-cut Rego Sager, the TV station didn't want him to come to Chicago to stimulate the nerves of Chicago fans, so he replaced Kevin Trisle to partner Michael Albert to comment, and the guests did not invite stars related to Los Angeles.
"Hello, Mirf, first of all, I am not a fan of Liu, I am a loyal fan of Michael, and I have all his games in my collection, so please don't treat me as Rego by the fans behind me." Kevin Trisle was also an interesting commentator, as he made his stance clear from the start, and the power of the Chicago fans was mediocre.
"Hello Melf, everyone, I'm Larry Bird." Larry Bird still hasn't said much.
"Haha, it's me, Big Red Jellyfish, Bill Wharton, hello, seriously Melf, I never thought you were so humorous, it seems that you are better suited to be a narrator than Reg Sager, at least you are more professional than him." Bill Wharton started by hacking the absent Rego Sager.
"Thank you for the compliment, Bill, but I think Rego is pretty good except for his timidity. The Lakers won the last two points against the Bulls in their last game, and now that they have the advantage, this game is extremely important for the Bulls to win this game, because there has never been a team in the history of the league that has come back from 3-0 down. I think the Bulls will definitely give it their all in this game, and this game will be very exciting. "Melf Albert had some good things to say about his old partner, and he had a lot of expectations for the match.
The game is about to start, and the players on both sides are still warming up on the court, and at this time, as soon as Liu Han on one side receives the ball, the Chicago fans who are ready begin to boo, such a scene has never appeared in the history of the NBA, which shows how much the Chicago fans hope to win this game.
However, Liu Han was unmoved, he had experienced discrimination since he was a child, and he knew that the more excited he was, the more accomplished the other party would be, and now what Liu Han needed to do was try his best to defeat his opponent in the next game, so that he could hold his head high and look down on these fans who discriminated against him with disdain.
On the Bulls' side, Jordan already plans to play well in this game after being persuaded by Phil Jackson, and he is no longer entangled in the idea of competing with Liu Han, although Jordan still wants to compete with Liu Han very much in his heart.
In fact, the management of the Bulls has a great contradiction with the coaching staff and Jordan this year, since the draft of 97, the general manager of the Bulls has had a conflict with Jordan and head coach Phil Jackson, in order to keep Jordan in 96, the Bulls offered him an annual salary of 30 million US dollars, which made the team management very dissatisfied with Jordan, but now in the finals, everything is easy to say, but if the Bulls lose to the Lakers again this year, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Bulls.
