Now viewers across the U.S. and around the world are looking forward to the second game between the two teams after watching the first game of the Western Conference finals between the SuperSonics and the Lakers.

The second game of the Western Conference Finals will continue to be held at the Key Arena in Seattle on May 21, two days after the first game.

Before the big war, the atmosphere in the Seattle SuperSonics training ground was very enthusiastic.

Originally, before the battle between the Lakers and the SuperSonics, the Seattle SuperSonics' undefeated record so far had already made this team gain a lot of attention, and after the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the attention of the SuperSonics has even reached an incredible level.

This makes the already crazy Seattle SuperSonics training gym even crazier.

"So many people watching a team's pre-game training was something I never thought about in the NBA before."

It's just a lot of water!

David Stern looked at the situation of the three floors and the outer three floors in the training ground of the Key Arena, which was simply incredible.

He heard from his assistant that reporters from all over the United States and the world were still gathering in Seattle.

As long as the Seattle SuperSonics don't lose, then Seattle reporters will gather more and more, and it won't reach its peak until the Seattle SuperSonics win the championship undefeated this season.

And now, it's just the end of the first game of the Western Finals, and it's still far from the end of the finals.

So, he needs a strong nerve, and now it's just a pediatric.

However, as a manager who aspires to make the NBA the No. 1 professional league in the United States.

The current situation in the NBA is indeed a fluttering person who can't help it.

"President, although there should be no problem with the Seattle SuperSonics in the Western Conference Finals, this year's Finals ......"

"President, do we need ......?"

Need?

The assistant's words pulled David Stern's thoughts back from his fantasy.

What the assistant said was needed, of course he was clear.

Since his last crown prince, the 'joke' was abolished by him, but there are many people who want to get ahead.

After all, now that the NBA is developing so well, the benefits are so great, and he is almost 70 years old, it seems that retirement has been put on the agenda, which is full of temptation for many people, the temptation of being on top.

It can be said that many people around him are consciously or unintentionally expressing their ideas to him, hoping to be valued.

Some people are imitating him before, and some people are finding another way, in short, David Stern is very clear about the minds of these people, but he does not say praise or criticism.

It is precisely because of his attitude that the internal competition in the current NBA management is also quite fierce.

The emperor is old, the prince is vacant, and the emperor seems to let everyone fight again, so if you don't fight, are you still waiting to see others take the throne?

"President, I don't think we should do anything now, the current NBA's development model is very healthy, since our hands have been withdrawn, we can't put it back, this season Seattle SuperSonics can win all the championships is naturally the best, if you can't do this, it doesn't matter, the future is long, we don't need to cut off the future momentum of the league for the benefit of a short-term season."

"The future development momentum of the league is made up of the present one by one, the present is better, the future can be better, otherwise it is just a castle in the air, the NBA needs a story, it needs a great story, and a great story can make the NBA even greater!"

Ever since David Stern temporarily moved the NBA's headquarters and office from New York to Seattle in the past few months, he's been surrounded by such bickering almost every day, and he's been familiar with it.

In New York, in New Jersey, there are so many departments and offices in the NBA, and it is difficult to see the heads of each person.

But when you come to Seattle, it's just a temporary headquarters, and Seattle can't prepare an office location for every department in the NBA, and everyone basically works together and stays with David Stern.

Since everyone wants to behave next to David Stern, it is natural that there will be no harmony.

Just when these David Stern's assistants were fighting a little hard, another assistant who came in behind whispered a few times in David Stern's ear, and David Stern's face, who had not changed in the face of such a big controversy, suddenly changed.

Now the NBA's playoff focus has all been on the Seattle SuperSonics and Lakers' series.

On the other side, the Heat and the Magic's East showdown seem to be transparent.

But as the president of the league, David Stern doesn't treat this series that has been ignored by the media and fans as if it doesn't exist.

What's more, the Heat team is the team that has the most headaches for him and the league.

Ever since the Heat formed such a terrifying team, David Stern has been passive.

I always feel that the NBA's trading system makes the league too passive.

As long as it complies with the rules of the league, the general managers of the teams can trade with each other at will and form giant teams at will.

If the Heat really succeeds in this way, the NBA will not be able to fly all over the sky in the future, form a team if they can't beat it, or even join it if they can't beat it, and then the NBA will be completely ruined.

Fortunately, because of Yes, these evil teams have never succeeded.

However, as the president of the league, he can't always rely on a player so passively in this kind of thing.

What if Yes can't stop it in the end?

So what to do?

He can't help Yes on the court through refereeing right now, and he can't reject this rule-based trade for 'basketball reasons' without following the rules.

Then the only way is to make the tentacles of the alliance stretch a little longer.

Learn a little more about how each team's trade works.

Commercial espionage doesn't have such a good reputation, but now David Stern does have NBA liaison officers for various popular teams.

Now that the world's communications are so developed, the work of liaison officers has long been eliminated, and the main responsibility of these NBA official liaison officers in a certain team is not to contact these teams, but to contact the players of each team like those NBA reporters, and the official responsibilities of these liaison officers are only to assist in handling some of the benefits given by the league or other miscellaneous matters given by the league.

Many players in the NBA like to break the news about their team's reporters in residence.

But I've never heard of NBA players breaking the secrets and news about teams in the league.

It's not because the players are inherently against the league, it's because they can't find a way to connect.

In the past, there was a lot of contact between the league and the team, and too little contact with the players, especially those in the middle and lower levels.

And it is precisely these middle and low-level players who have the most respect for the league and are the most willing to do things for the league.

What the media in the United States and the world can do, he David Stern can certainly do.

After getting to know more about the NBA teams, he may not be able to change the situation that the top players of these teams are leaving and the teams are going to trade, but he can get the information as soon as possible, and he will not be suddenly put on the plate by the crazy operations of these teams.

Maybe sometimes after knowing the news in advance, you can also create some loopholes and traps in the rules to stop it.

Since the launch of the official liaison officer system, the Heat and Celtics, the most troublesome teams, have been the focus of his and the league's monitoring.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure that according to the news from the Magic, Howard has been exposing his dissatisfaction with the Magic and Orlando recently during training, boasting about the special relationship between him and Yes during training, and is very dismissive of the news that Yes wants James to join."

"All kinds of news suggest that Howard has moved the idea of leaving the Magic, and the next stop is likely to be the team that wants to go to the SuperSonics."

"On the Heat's side, Wade will still stimulate James from time to time when he is training, forcing James to go to the SuperSonics, and James and Wade have had some disputes about going to the SuperSonics during the time when Durant and Rondo won the MVP, and now they are starting to be silent again, and James is now hesitating to go to the SuperSonics next season."

Started to hesitate again?

David Stern doesn't care much about Howard's desire to go to the SuperSonics, according to the statistics of the NBA's contact system, more than 80% of star players in the league want to go to Yes to partner as teammates, and more than 90% of ordinary role players.

So, this message from Howard is simply the regular message he hears every day.

It's just that yesterday it was another superstar, and today it's Howard.

But James was different.

After awarding the regular season MVP to Durant and Rondo before, he always felt that he must have put an end to James' way to the SuperSonics.

James couldn't have accepted the status of a team's fourth-leading or even fifth-leading team.

Or does James feel that Durant and Rondo's position as the second and third leaders of the SuperSonics is not stable enough, and he still has a chance to turn the tables?

Thinking of this, David Stern had a little headache.

James, this kid is really giving him a headache.

Does James now feel that Durant and Rondo's position with the SuperSonics is not secure enough?

Well, then make Durant and Rondo more firmly positioned in the SuperSonics.

Must break James' idea of going to the SuperSonics next season!

"No matter what, James going to the SuperSonics must not happen!"

Although David Stern was made a big head by James, it can also be seen from here that he has been different after the establishment of the liaison officer system in the NBA.

Without this liaison system, he would still be just the president of the league, and maybe James will suddenly join the SuperSonics as a free agent next season, and he can only stare dryly.

Maybe at that time, he was still smug and felt that he had blocked James' way to the supersounds.

Now that he has the liaison officer system, he is much more active, and the liaison room is helping him analyze the secrets of each team, and he can deal with the key secrets, although he can't help James make decisions, and he can't punish James, but he can change other conditions to block James's way.

"Elevate Durant and Rondo......

How can we completely establish the status of Durant and Rondo in the superSonics, so that James will not have any desire to compete with them when he sees these two people?

Standing on the back steps, looking at the two supersonic players in the middle of the surrounding training ground in front of him, David Stern once again fell into deep thought.

There are still methods.

But he couldn't do it alone.

David Stern is now staring at Durant and Rondo thinking about something.

As for Ye Si, who is the center of the training hall, Ye Si is frowning and looking at the beating touches on the superstar system.

After locking 88 hands in the last game, Ye Si's feel fell into a low ebb.

Will the feel of the next game be able to return to normal?

Yes didn't ask for an explosive feel, just return to normal, and the normal feel plus his counterattack skill can be regarded as easy in the game.

Yes's current hard power is not feared even if it feels bad, but the Lakers are indeed a fairly formidable opponent.

If you want to win, you still need more preparation.

What worries Yes the most right now?

The feeling of one's next game.

And Kobe Bryant on the other side, what is he most worried about?

It's also his own feeling for the next race.

Although Kobe Bryant can't see the feel, but after he understands his talent better, he knows very well that he was a god in the previous game, and he is likely to be less divine in the next game.

Of course, the next game may also be very godly, which is difficult to say.

And with his hard power, if the opponent he meets in the regular season is not so strong, even if he feels ordinary, he can play a god-level game.

But the supersonic one is not ordinary at all.

The last game was played against the SuperSonics and Yes, and this game was watched by the whole world, and the pressure on him was still there.

And it's not the same as supersonic Yes.

Yes used to be my way of playing, and it was okay to feel bad and organized.

But what about him, he is everyone for me in the Lakers, he has to play if he doesn't feel good, does he not play is the tactical system of letting Nash take Xiao Si to play the Suns?

I can't beat it.

On May 21, 2010, Ye Si and Kobe Bryant took each other's teams to the second game of the Western Conference Finals with such worries and expectations.

In this game of world scrutiny, in the end, Ye Si led his Seattle SuperSonics to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 144-120 at home.

Another big win by more than 20 points.

In this game, Yes's feel is really quite average, but it still belongs, and Kobe's feel is not bad, although it is not as good as 100, but it also locks in the feel of 70.

It's just clear that Kobe Bryant's 70 hand can't take the Lakers to the last game again.

Even in the face of Yese's all-out defense, Kobe Bryant couldn't even play the fast offense of running and bombing the triangle offense.

The Lakers couldn't play their own complete tactical system, but the SuperSonics could, and in the end, the Los Angeles Lakers lost two games in a row on the road and left Seattle with a score of 0-2.

And after the game, Ye Si and the supersonic players were surprised to find ......

"Did you notice that KD and Rajan were unusually fierce after the game?"

The supersonic players were amazed, as if they were shrouded in a black hand in the shadows.

And James and Howard on the other side are really even more envious.
