Chapter 899: A Silent Start to the World!

June 4, 2009, Evening, Seattle, Key Arena.

With more than 25,000 Seattle SuperSonics fans cheering, the 2008-2009 NBA's most watched finals are about to kick off!

“yes!”、

“yes!”

“yes!”

Feeling the deafening madness of the Seattle Supersonic fans at the scene, David Stern was very excited.

yes vs James!

Seattle SuperSonics vs Heat!

This is really the picture he dreamed of!

After the formation of the Heat's Big Five.

I thought he would have to wait a long time to see such a duel.

Unexpectedly, in the first season of the formation of the Big Five of the Heat, he could see this group of matches in the Finals!

It's really a sense of luck from heaven.

"God really favors me, really favors the NBA!"

Feeling the incredible atmosphere of the Key Arena, David Stern always feels like this.

He is well aware of his and his buddies' efforts in the NBA.

In order to make the NBA develop better, he and his partners have given almost everything.

Overcoming obstacles and constantly reforming under pressure.

In order for the NBA to be more exciting, we are under pressure to reform the draft lottery.

Changing the pick of the draft lottery from the top three picks to the top five picks, not only the NBA teams that are bad are opposed, most teams are instinctively opposed!

Who in the NBA team dares to say that they will definitely not mess up in the future?

Needless to say, playing bad is the laziest and least bad strategy for a team to rebuild!

Not every team is headed by Jerry West or whatever!

His draft lottery reform changed the bottom pick from the fourth pick to the sixth pick, which means that it almost makes no sense to be the bottom one.

The sixth pick, even in a draft year, would at most pick a good player with potential to be an All-Star, and such a player would not be able to bear the burden of rebuilding the team.

What's the point of rotting?

It can be said that this reform is good for the league, but it is really unfriendly to all teams in the NBA.

Cut off an easy path for them to rebuild!

And changing the top three picks by lottery to the top five picks by lottery also increases the shady rights of David Stern and the league.

If someone else were the president of the NBA, it would be clear that the reform that would centralize power in the league and suppress the rest of the league as a whole would not have passed.

That is, David Stern, who forced this reform through under tremendous pressure.

In addition, in order to make the finals more exciting, David Stern has also reformed the format of the finals.

Prior to this year, the NBA's Finals format was a 2-3-2 format, which has been complained about not 'home court advantage', but 'away advantage'.

The team with home field advantage is divided into two parts for four games, one before and one behind, and if the finals are played within five games, the home field advantage in the next two games will be directly gone.

At the same time, it is a little unreasonable for a team without home field advantage to have a three-in-a-row home field, while the team with home field advantage has to be divided into two parts, right?

In fact, the 2-3-2 format was created to take care of relatively weak teams that do not have home field advantage, so that the finals can be played more excitingly.

But it's obvious that this format can't keep up with the times, and no one could have imagined that the West would become so ferocious!

The teams with a poor record in the West are generally stronger than the teams with a good record in the East!

The Eastern team has a good record, but the strength is weak, and it has a home field advantage, but this home field advantage is to take care of the team that does not have home field advantage.

The strength is not as good as the opponent, and the competition system is still taking care of the opponent, how can the team that plays the finals in the East play?

After last year's Finals, the Celtics, as the strongest team in the East, were swept by the SuperSonics in the Finals, and David Stern was trying to change the situation.

Finally, with the efforts of David Stern, starting this year, the NBA Finals format is 2-3-1-1.

2-2-1-1-1 is actually the most neutral, but it is too rushed, playing seven games and having to change four times, and finally David Stern decided to sacrifice neutrality and give the advantage to the home field since the home advantage.

In the future, the eastern team has a better record and is more likely to get a home court advantage, the eastern team is weak, the western team is strong, and the real home court advantage can be regarded as making the league's finals more exciting.

According to his plan, everything will be quite good, the team with home field advantage is weak, and it is no problem to give the advantage to the team with home court advantage, but he really never dreamed that the Heat would actually form the Big Five.

It is true that the strength of the East is not as good as that of the West, but the strength of the Heat has suppressed all the teams in the West at once!

This directly turned this reform of his into aiding and abetting!

It can be said that the formation of the Big Five of the Heat has given David Stern a very strong sense of crisis from the beginning.

Thinking all the time that the NBA is afraid that it will be ruined by the Heat and James!

There's a good chance that the attention will drop significantly this season!

But the final result made David Stern really feel incredible to the extreme.

YES continued to perform magic in the regular season and kept the attention of the NBA!

Yes's continuous magic in the playoffs has also kept the attention of the NBA playoffs!

In the end, the NBA was not destroyed by the Heat Big Five and James, but in this year's playoffs, it is said to have entered the prime of life!

Here, now, what else can he say?

Can only say thank God!

Now David Stern is more aware of the sentence.

That is, individual efforts are important, but the historical process is even more important!

If it weren't for God giving him and the NBA a yes, just James and the Heat's Big Five would have made all the hard work of him and his buddies come to naught!

What NBA prosperity, what ratings miracles created one after another, none of them exists, I am afraid that there are only ruins!

And he will leave the NBA with regret in ruins!

“yes!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

Listen to this magical cheer and watch the supersonic nine that comes out of these magical cheers heard by the players.

David Stern was excited, just as excited as the coconut supersonic fans next to him.

At the same time, David Stern was ashamed.

Yes, along the way, is saving him and the NBA.

But his reforms after the finals last year are in the hole!

If the Finals format is not reformed, YES, which is eighth in the West, will have the advantage of the format.

And after his reform, the Heat not only has stronger strength, but the competition system is also on the side of the Heat.

yes and the Seattle SuperSonics seem to have gone straight to hell!

It is said that Yes is the unluckiest player in the history of the NBA.

David Stern was reluctant to believe it before.

But now, he really believes.

In the three years since yes arrived in the NBA, almost everything that has happened to him has been unlucky.

"This Finals matchup between the SuperSonics and the Heat is the most special Finals matchup I've ever had in the NBA!"

"Kenny, it's really hard to imagine that before the start of the first round of the finals, the strength will be so one-sided, and there will be no chance of winning at all."

Kenny Smith looked at the rhythmic partner next to him, and the smile on his face was calm.

This fat man is still sitting here!

"Charles, I agree with what you said, in the history of the NBA, fifty states in the United States, forty-nine states think that the Seattle SuperSonics can win, ESPN100 is an expert, 99 experts think that the Seattle SuperSonics can sweep the Heat, this is the first time in the history of the NBA that such a situation has occurred, the Seattle SuperSonics seem to have an overwhelming advantage, yes and the SuperSonics are difficult to lose to the Heat, according to these public opinions, there will be no fifth game in this series."

Barkley, who was still in rhythm, was stunned!

"Kenny, that's not what I meant......"

"Charles, of course I know you don't mean that, but anyway, the finals are the finals, no matter what this finals are, the winner of the finals can't be the champion, no matter how great the championship of yes last season was, it was only one championship, and there was no way to become two."

“……”

Barkley had nothing to say.

Because what Kenny Smith said makes so much sense.

To be reasonable, if the Seattle SuperSonics, which he supports, have an overwhelming advantage, he can also make the same sense as Kenny.

But alas, hypersound does not have such an advantage, or even an absolute disadvantage.

It is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and an absolute advantage in public opinion.

And this is definitely the scariest!

Maybe after the finals, the coconut black media that support the Heat will say: "Look at yes, yes at this level, such a big advantage, actually lost the finals, and was swept, the Heat, under the leadership of James, defeated the dog!"

This Nima's is simply referring to the deer as a horse, reversing black and white!

And the black one can't refute it yet, because now public opinion is indeed completely on the side of yes and supersonics!

But public opinion is on the side of yes and hypersonics, and there is a hairy use!

Public opinion is useless now, and it will be liquidated later!

Therefore, as more and more coconut fans understand this, coconut fans are really uncomfortable now, and they are using their own abilities to change such public opinion.

But the power of the media is too great, and most of the coconut fans don't notice this, thinking that these media are really well-intentioned to support yes and hypersound, and are still fueling the flames.

These people don't understand at all that the media is bloodthirsty, whether it's the coconut powder media or the pro-yes media!

Now these media are talking about supporting the supersonic sweep of the Heat, and in their hearts I am afraid that they are really looking forward to the carnival after the supersonic speed is swept by the Heat!

In fact, people like Kenneth who support James and the Heat are actually already binge!

It's not optimistic......

Ross Barkley was worried, and on the pitch, after the two teams were warming up, the starters were already standing on the pitch.

The starting lineup for this game against the Seattle SuperSonics is Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Yees and Rondo.

On the Heat's side, the starters are Chandler, Chris Bosh, James, Ben Gordon and Wade.

The luxury of the Heat's starters is simply jaw-dropping.

In addition to the big five in the starting lineup, there are also strongmen such as O'Neal Jr. and Grant Hill sitting on the bench.

Compared with the Heat's almost invincible lineup, the supersonic side is a bit shabby.

The Heat are full of famous stars, and these stars are the kind of talented players who have been very talented since childhood.

On the supersonic side, there are very few geniuses, and yes and Milicic and Durant can be regarded as geniuses all the time, Durant and Milicic have even been in the water for a while, and the two of them still think that they are ordinary ordinary players.

In addition to this, the other supersonic players are civilian players!

"Before this round of the Finals, it was not for nothing that many people said that the Seattle SuperSonics were the most civilian team in the history of the Finals stage, and that they were more civilian than the Pistons in 2004."

"Throughout the SuperSonics, only yes, Milicic, Durant and Harden and Harden entered the league as a lottery, Nick Collisson, and several of these five people are recognized as raising their picks for various reasons, and their picks are controversial."

"And what about the Miami Heat?"

"James is the champion, Chandler is the leader, Chris Bosh is the fourth, Wade is the fifth, Ben Gordon is the third, not counting the bench, the talent and strength of the Heat team are almost crushing the supersonics!"

"Even though the team we're rooting for is the Seattle SuperSonics, it's before the game starts, after the game starts, and we need to face it."

"Before the game started, our mouth was over, the reality is not that the Seattle SuperSonics swept the Heat, it will be the Heat sweeping the Supersonics!"

"I want everyone in front of the TV to face this reality!"

This year's finals are once again known as the most watched finals in history.

Commentary and media from all over the world made James, who was on the stage of the finals for the first time, feel like every cell in his entire body was like exploding!

"This is my stage!"

"This is my stage!"

"Now, I can finally snatch everything back from your hands!"

James does not have the figure of Durant standing with him in his eyes at all now, and the figure of Yes standing with Ben Gordon in James' eyes now.

Durant?

It's just air!

"The 2009 NBA Finals, the game is on!"

When Bavita tossed the basketball in the air, James' excitement reached its limit.

He didn't want to miss every second of this year's finals!

Because every second is the joy of slinging yes!

However, after Chandler, who jumped high, lost to Milicic with a kick, James, who was extremely excited, instantly turned black.

SuperSonics got the ball for the first time!

You can't just say yes from the start!

The supersonic jump ball was successful, and the white-green fast-break torrent soon rushed to the Heat's halfcourt.

James and the Heat players did not dare to slack off and hurriedly returned to defense.

Looking at yes who squeezed away Ben Gordon with the ball.

James wanted to rush forward, but the team would never let him appear in front of yes until he had the team's full trust.

He could only endure it.

can only defend the Durant next to him who he dismisses.

I can only be a supporting actor for the time being, looking at yes who is still in the center of the stage!

"yes is going to hit the basket!"

Wrong!

yes is not a shock basket!

"LeBron, be careful!"

What the?!

Pass?!

James watched the trademark high, fast, and biased basketball fly over his head with an incredulous expression.

Such a good opportunity to perform, yes actually gave up?!

And when James came back to his senses, the basketball that ordinary people could not pass out or receive had already appeared in Durant's hands.

Seeing Durant receive the basketball outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the right corner and make a move to prepare to aim, James hurriedly pounced excitedly!

There's no way Durant can score easily in front of him!

Before defeating yes, he's going to devour Durant!

He's LeBron James, he's definitely not Kobe Bryant!

James' impact is terrifying!

Seeing the picture of James rushing towards Durant, the supersonic fans who had been shouting yes on the sidelines were stunned.

"KD, be careful!"

James, this is really going to devour KD!

James Harden on the sidelines, these substitutes even jumped up in fright.

It's just that just when the Seattle SuperSonics' bench little heart on the sidelines was about to be scared out by James's ferocious defense, what happened next on the court plunged the entire Key Arena into complete silence.

Swoop!

Flash!

Instant breakthrough, two-step dunk!

Bang!

In the silence of the whole court, Durant hung on the basket!

And James, who was as fierce as a beast just now, had dull eyes and slipped on the ground behind Durant incredibly......

2 to 0!

Watching the score jump on TV, the whole world seemed to fall silent......
