The league finals began as scheduled, with the opening game in San Antonio, and after an intensive and short season, the league finally reached the final showdown, with the metropolises of the American empire facing off against the lesser-known small towns. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, it seems that the strength of both sides should be reversed.

Of course, many times the victory and defeat are not calculated in this way, just like the rockets of the year, "never underestimate the heart of a champion." "The current Knicks actually have the same thing, and the playoff journey is extremely bumpy. First of all, five hard battles, the final tiebreaker Black Eight Miami Heat, and then swept the Hawks, in fact, they are facing an old enemy Pacers, after the main player Ewing retired injured, and forced a reversal in the case of a big score of 1:2. The Knicks are in full swing and are invincible in the world.

However, only the Knicks themselves know, although they don't want to admit it, but it seems that this is already their limit. Of course, miracles always come when you don't expect it, after all, that's what basketball is.

The Knicks are very unhappy right now, although they know that there will be no good fruit to eat in the locker room on the road, but there must be a limit to everything, is San Antonio so short of money?

Larry Johnson muttered, "When I win a championship, I'm going to invest in the Spurs and build them a better locker room." If there is anyone on the Knicks team who still maintains strong energy, sufficient self-confidence and strong competitiveness, it is estimated that only Johnson, Houston and the veteran of the Finals that year, Herb Williams. And I'm sorry, in the words of Georgetown coach John Thompson at the time, this is a pretty smart player, so smart that he doesn't bring any emotion on and off the court, he only plays with reason. In other words, this person plays without emotion and passion, which is why Coach Thompson thought he was not good at playing against the wind.

No one took Johnson's words seriously, but everyone did. If he wins, Johnson will definitely do it.

In fact, the Spurs' locker room at this time is not very bad, at least it is better than the Celtics' locker room, it's just, how to say, it's too crowded. The Knicks are the team with the most interior hoarding in the league, that is, Ewing, not counting the injured, Camby, Moxi, Johnson, Dudley, Thomas, Herb Williams, the bodies of these six people are about to fill the locker room, in a small space, several big men are almost stacked Arhats, don't look at Johnson is the shortest, but he is the heaviest and occupies the largest space.

I thought it would be good to just endure it and warm up on the court, but the Knicks were told by the court management that there were some omissions in the field and they had to wait a little longer.

After suffering such a big idleness, Johnson naturally can't bear it, as an old ball ruffian, Johnson feels that he has the obligation to teach the juniors, so that they can better adapt to the league, and he wants to play an exemplary role.

So, Johnson really put on a pair of sunglasses, led a group of younger brothers majestically, and came to the Spurs' locker room.

Mo Xi and Camby looked at each other, this is, kick the hall?

Johnson adjusted his expression and knocked on the door of the Spurs locker room with a self-confessed amiable face. Why did he say he knocked it open? Because Johnson just slapped the door, then glanced at the two bodyguards blocking the door with a look of disdain, and pushed the door open.

The Spurs locker room was peaceful, probably just after the pre-war meeting, everyone was sitting in their places sorting out equipment, or chatting, seeing the door open, they were all stunned, and then seeing Johnson, they were shocked, this thing can be said to be a far-reaching shock, everyone in the league knows about it, and its popularity is comparable to that of Joe's gang leader.

Avery Johnson stepped forward first and said, "Grandmama, are you lost? Here is our locker room. ”

Johnson took off his sunglasses and said in a hanging tone: "Your locker room is too small, I'm too valuable to put it down, just come over and see, hey, little man, did anyone tell you're old." ”

At this time, although the Spurs still have the "Admiral" Robinson, Robinson's personality is actually not suitable for being a big brother in the locker room, Avery Johnson is different, born with a big brother posture, in the Spurs, Avery Johnson is a veritable second brother, because the boss is the coach, and even Duncan has to call himself a little brother.

It's also interesting to say, both of these people have the surname Johnson, and they are both the kind of people who lie about their height, and among the players in the same position, both of them are short enough, one is six feet six inches, and the other is five feet ten inches (178cm, and this is official data, it is estimated that the actual value will be lower. And neither of them is the star of the team, they both belong to the three, and what is more coincidental is that their star is the center.

Returning to the Spurs locker room, there are no strong figures in this Spurs team, and the strongest one is their coach, who will be called a generation of legendary "Bo Lao" in the future.

The two sides quickly analyzed the situation in front of them, there were six on the opposite side, there were seventeen people on our side, not counting the security guards, but there was a Larry Johnson on the other side, and there were several people in the fight, and everyone came from the inside, with big shoulders and round waists, and the Spurs' inside hoarding was not very much, and it seemed that they had lost in terms of figure. However, the Spurs still have two figures from the army, and it seems that they still have some small advantages.

Avery Johnson ignored Larry Johnson's taunts and fought back: "That's right, I'm a little older, unlike you, I am estimated to be so tall in this life, I haven't passed two meters, dragging a pair of stump legs to learn to play in front of the big one." Come to our locker room and see if you're a little excited, but unfortunately the trade deadline has passed, and you can't join us to win the championship. ”

Johnson did not show weakness and replied: "What do you think I'm here to do, come and see you in advance, lest you cry when you have time, I won't comfort you, one meter seven little ghost." ”

At this time, Robinson walked up, looked down at Johnson, and said, "You crossed the line, Larry, there is no locker for you here, let alone what do you want to do with so many people?" ”

Johnson pursed his lips and said, "You're so old-fashioned, David, I'm just leading the younger brothers to see what the people are who will fall at our feet right away." ”

Seeing that the conflict between the two sides was about to escalate, Van Gundy was late and glared at Johnson, who took the lead in stirring up trouble, but Van Gundy, who has always protected his shortcomings, would not lose face as his favorite general at this time. Speak directly to the opposing coach: "Mr. Popovich, thank you very much for the hospitality of San Antonio, but I'm going to take my players back and hopefully you'll do well in the next encounters." ”

At this time, Popovich had only just become a coach, and although he was older, he was indeed a junior of Van Gundy.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they broke up unhappily, and a tense gathering ended.

Mo Xi also achieved his goal, he met the big man, the one who became famous, and it seems that the best inside line of the younger generation at the moment.

"Now, let's welcome, the Flying Devil from Wake Forest, 6'11", 250-pound No. 21 Tim Duncan-" The DJ roared heartbreakingly, and the whole arena was filled with huge cheers, and it was clear that Duncan had already earned a huge reputation here despite only two seasons.

Mo Xi looked at this calm figure, and felt a little jealous for the first time, this is really a side-popping feeling.

The referee came to the halfway line with the ball and a whistle blew.

The 1999 finals began.
