The first game of the Finals was scheduled for June 4 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

On the morning of June 3rd, the whole team arrived in the Bay Area by plane, and after getting off the plane at Oakland Airport, the whole team took a bus to the hotel where they were staying.

At the door of the hotel, there were already many, many fans waiting for the Pacers players.

They're certainly not here to welcome, but to put pressure on the Pacers.

Dressed in blue jerseys, these Warriors fans lined up in front of the hotel and chanted slogans, "Warriors Championship!" when they saw the Pacers players get out of the car. "Go home and farm!"

When Li Liang got out of the car, there was a burst of boos at the scene, but there were also some cheers.

Because in addition to the Warriors fans at the scene, there is also a Chinese fan group, and there are a lot of Chinese in San Francisco-Oakland.

So the two sides began to quarrel, and this Chinese fan group was not afraid of the Warriors at all, pointing at each other and reasoning loudly.

That's right, the overall quality of fans in the Bay Area is still okay, and they don't open their mouths to scold, but say some relatively civilized trash talk.

Li Liang looked a little itchy, should I go up and help scold a few words?

Bird nudged him from behind, motioning for him to hurry away and not get into trouble by watching the excitement.

After settling in the hotel, the team did not arrange training in the afternoon, so that the players could rest and relax.

After entering the Finals, the entire Pacers were in a relatively relaxed state, and the team's confidence was boosted in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Li Liang received a call from Wei Dazhi and asked him to come out for coffee.

Wei Dazhi is now based in Los Angeles, and Indiana is too far away, so he doesn't go to India City much.

This time, the finals were held in Auckland, and he came rushing over to dig for news materials.

At a café near the hotel, Li Liang met Wei Dazhi, who was fatter and oilier than the previous two years.

With Li Liang's east wind, he can be regarded as unique in the NBA media industry.

This time, Li Liang reached the finals again, and his attention was raised to a notch again.

Wei Dazhi is already preparing for another wave of big news in the summer, let's see where Li Liang goes.

Of course, now Li Liang's mind is all on the finals.

When Wei Dazhi met, he asked, "How is it, when will you get married and have children?" ”

Li Liang almost squirted out while drinking coffee, "It's your business, why are you asking me this?" ”

Wei Dazhi said: "Oh, you have to play in the finals now, I don't ask you this, do you ask where you are going next season?" ”

Li Liang thought about it, "I'm still a child, I'm young, and I'm not ready to get married." ”

Wei Dazhi shook his head, "You just took yourself into the pit, look at you, you found a girlfriend so early, and let her be your agent, how about now, cocooning yourself, right?" ”

Wei Dazhi is now in Los Angeles, it is full of lights, happy and happy, this thing likes older women, in Los Angeles Vanity Fair, which is open and modern, it is not a big handful, as long as the physical strength and energy can keep up, it is a night and night.

Li Liang is different, he went to Indiana to play ball, and took his agent's girlfriend with him all day long, not to mention romance, there was no chance of being lewd.

Li Liang smiled slightly, disdainful of a layman like Wei Dazhi.

How do you understand my happiness?

"Forget it, don't intrude into my privacy, they're all good friends, why are you talking about this. What do you have to ask, hurry up, do you want me to make some remarks and hype up a wave? ”

Li Liang couldn't understand Wei Dazhi better, the fat man smiled, took out a small notebook, and asked, "How many games will be solved in this finals?" ”

At present, the outside world is still optimistic that the Warriors will win the championship.

Both teams are just emerging, but the Warriors have a more complete roster and a more reasonable and efficient tactical system.

Relatively speaking, the Pacers rely on Li Liang, and then the others have a bit of a ragtag army, feeling that after this season, they will be disbanded next season.

But Wei Dazhi has absolute confidence in Li Liang, and this confidence has gradually accumulated from the beginning of entering the NBA to the first Finals.

People are always forgetful, especially the fans on the basketball court.

Every time I see any wonderful performance in the game, super data, I will exclaim, "There is no one here," "The history is the strongest", "There is no one before".

Then flip through the history books, or just the memories in your own head, and you'll find amazing feats abounding.

It's just that people's memories as fans are often only 7 days, and after 7 days, they will forget and start to pay attention to the present and the next miracle.

Li Liang's shocking performance in the finals has been forgotten by some.

60 points, devastation in the face of the Heat, a variety of unparalleled performances.

There's no way, Li Liang in the finals is different from the regular season and playoffs, it's Li Liang who is full.

Wei Dazhi, as the closest witness, knows this very well.

So he wasn't worried that Li Liang would win this championship at all.

Li Liang took another sip of coffee and said, "Let's solve it within six games, anyway, it won't be delayed to the seventh game, I don't like to grab seven." ”

Wei Dazhi hurriedly recorded it," said Bruce Lee, who solved the Warriors in five games, giving the Warriors a chance to win at most. ”

"When did I say five?"

"Within six, isn't five within six? Why don't I write four? ”

"Don't write nonsense! The Warriors are not that easy to deal with. ”

Of course, Li Liang is also confident in himself, but self-confidence is not conceit, and self-confidence must be based on comprehensive preparation and all-out efforts.

One of Li Liang's current strengths is that he has a lot of experience in the finals.

The Warriors are strong, but none of the players on the team have played in the Finals at the moment.

On the Pacers' side, Li Liang and Kevin Garnett have both played in the Finals twice and are quite experienced.

As far as coaches go, Bird is also more experienced than Kerr.

Of course, experience is a virtual thing, and it can only play a bonus role, and in the final analysis, it still depends on strength.

As far as Li Liang's own judgment is concerned, the Warriors surpass the Pacers in the depth and thickness of the lineup.

This is not like the knights, the knights are not deep and thick enough, but because of the existence of the Big Three, they are full of momentum.

The Pacers played the Cavaliers, and in the fourth game, the Cavaliers were offloaded, and the Cavaliers were not good.

And to fight with the Warriors, you must definitely be prepared to fight a protracted battle.

Of course, taking advantage of the inexperienced characteristics of the warriors, a quick victory is the best choice.

After all, in a seven-game series, many times, the victory or defeat of one game creates a completely different situation.

2:2 and 1:3, that's a world of difference.

"Anyway...... I will definitely grab the victory in the first game, and the finals are a competition of wisdom and strength. Also, isn't the last crown of the three consecutive championships the most difficult? ”

Li Liang left Wei Dazhi with this sentence.

……

On June 4th, at 7 p.m. Pacific Time, the Oracle Arena in Oakland was packed.

After 40 years, the finals are finally here, and the enthusiasm of Bay Area fans is as good as that of any other city.

The fans at the stadium were all wearing gold T-shirts, and the main color of the Warriors and Pacers was golden yellow, but the yellow of the Warriors was thicker and darker, and the Pacers were slightly lighter and paired with navy blue.

Because of this, there are actually a lot of fans wearing Pacers jerseys hidden in the Oracle Arena tonight, but they are all yellow, and you can't see them when you sweep them over.

No way, there are really, very many Chinese in San Francisco, and Li Liang has a large number of Chinese compatriots and fans.

This large number is not a little bit, but a piece, and it has formed a very large scale in Auckland.

So most of the noisy scenes are cheering for the Warriors, but there are definitely not a few cheering for the Pacers.

This may go a long way in taking the pressure off the Pacers' players.

The game is about to start, and the two sides are warming up on the field.

Li Liang ran to the center line with the ball and chatted with Curry, and the scene was also given to the two of them.

This Under Armour Double Star Finals made Nike's stock price fall a lot.

In the shot, Li Liang finally hugged Curry and touched his head, not knowing what the two said.

Twenty minutes later, with the opening ceremony over, the match between the two sides was about to begin.

The Warriors still used their regular starters, Bogut, Barnes, Thompson, Curry and Green.

The Pacers also have a regular lineup, with Li Liang playing the No. 4 position, and inside McGee, Granger, Smith and Hill.

In the last series of the 15th season, Li Liang hit the last step of the triple championship and began.
