"If Kobe Bryant and Sun compete for the championship, then the ratings of this year's Finals will definitely hit a new high, and the NBA has never had such two players with such a historical scoring level compete for the championship."

David Stern obviously wants to see the Lakers advance, Nowitzki and the Mavericks are far less popular and influential than Kobe and the Lakers, plus Kobe and Sun Zhuo were teammates the year before, and because one mountain does not allow two tigers to separate, if they meet in the finals in the first year of separation, then such a wonderful plot will definitely attract everyone.

On the court, the Mavericks seemed to vaguely feel that many people were thinking about the Lakers to advance, and Mavericks coach Avery Johnson looked solemn, knowing that the Mavericks were on the verge of life and death: "I should have known that I should have made a push to make the Lakers lose hope, which is really not good." ”

Kobe Bryant was very good at getting the whistle, so that the Mavericks players didn't dare to touch him when they defended, but just surrounded him, however, Bryant staged a super difficult lever at this time to cross the three people in the air, gliding from the right side of the basket to the other side of the layup, causing another carnival on the scene!

"One dozen three! Ask who else in the league can make such a move except Kobe! ”

"Only the Lakers deserve to be the champion of the West!"

The noise on the scene made the Mavericks more and more nervous, the more they fell behind, the more careful they played, the more they couldn't play the Mavericks' flowing offense in the regular season, and gradually, the Mavericks not only couldn't prevent Kobe, they couldn't prevent anyone from the Lakers.

Lamar Odom received Kobe's coordinated pass, went straight to the basket, and threw one arm into the frame, roaring with excitement.

Francis unreasonably scored three points to further open the score!

Grant Hill made a key steal to seal the win directly!

The Lakers eliminated the Dallas Mavericks and successfully advanced to the Finals!

“yeah！” Odom jumped on Kobe Bryant excitedly, and every player of the Lakers was excited, obviously at the beginning of the playoffs, they never thought that they would be able to break through to the West with strong opponents, become the champion of the West, and advance to the Finals!

It's all too dramatic.

"We're going to play the finals, brothers!" It is rare to see such a bright smile on Kobe's face, this is not the first time he has participated in the Finals, but it was with the help of O'Neal that Kobe Bryant was able to enter the Finals, and this time, it was the first time he played in the Finals since he left O'Neal.

"Shaq, you proved that you can win the championship without me, and now, I also want to prove that I can win the championship myself without you!"

remembered that after the Heat won the championship last year, O'Neal improvised rap in the bar battle to show off that he didn't have Kobe Bryant to win the championship, sarcastically Kobe Bryant couldn't win the championship without him, Kobe couldn't wait to fly to Orlando to play the finals with Sun Zhuo now.

"Sun, I didn't expect my opponent to be you, God is helping me to get my first championship from Shaq!"

The Magic are full of expectations that their opponent can be the Lakers, because the Lakers are weaker than the Mavericks, and in the eyes of Kobe and others, they are also very happy that the opponent is the Magic, not the Heat, and both the Magic and the Lakers are a little disdainful of each other.

The two teams that qualified for the finals disliked each other, not to mention the media and the fans.

After the dust settled on the finals matchup team, there were many surprises and doubts on the Internet.

"I haven't watched the NBA for two months, can anyone tell me if the NBA has changed its rules? How did the Lakers and Magic advance to the Finals? Where did the Spurs, Mavericks, Pistons and Heat go? ”

"It's still logical for the Magic to advance, the Lakers can eliminate the Mavericks, it definitely depends on the referee, there is no way, the league has already written the script, let Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant play in the finals, poor Mavericks!"

"Hehe, it's logical for the Magic to advance, and the Lakers to advance depends on the referee? Did Sun Zhuo get fewer whistles in the playoffs? If you can win the Heat in the seventh game, it's all luck, try one more game, the Magic will lose, and the Lakers and Mavericks won't spend at least the seventh game! ”

Fans from all walks of life on the Internet are fighting fiercely, Lakers fans, Magic fans, and Mavericks fans who are unwilling to be eliminated, Heat fans, etc., all make this incident more and more noisy, this is the result that the league wants to see, before the Finals start, people all over the world seem to have begun to pay attention to this year's Finals.

Naturally, various media outlets will not let go of such a big hot spot, and the big-mouthed Barkley and Kenny Smith naturally don't need to say much, and at this time, their programs also have new opponents.

ESPN DECIDED TO START AIRING FIRST TAKE, A BASKETBALL TALK SHOW, TODAY, WHICH IN ITS PREVIOUS LIFE ONLY STARTED AIRING IN 2007, A FULL YEAR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

"Hey, Antonie, are you going to exhaust me? I just finished doing other work, and I was asked to start the first episode of "FIRST TAKE" unprepared? Didn't you say the show was still in the works? Stephen A. Smith, known as "American Yang Yi", came to ESPN's studio and began to be busy in a panic.

Sun Zhuo doesn't like the title of "American Yang Yi" very much, first of all, because Yang Yi's status in the basketball critic world is not as good as Stephen A, saying that Stephen A is the American Yang Yi, which is a bit disrespectful, and secondly, the commentary styles of the two are completely different, Yang Yi's commentary is gentler and more rational and even a little literary and poetic from time to time, while Stephen A is more direct, more brutal and more capable of spraying, when he doesn't speak, his eyes can kill people, and he definitely doesn't smile, once he speaks, his mouth is like a machine gun and he keeps talking. Don't try to argue with him when he's making a statement, he has an amazing memory, and he remembers every game ten years ago, who scored many points, who dunked on whom's head.

Antonie, the program producer of "FIRST TAKE", comforted Stephen A with a glass of water: "Dude, look at the current Finals opponents, Sun and Kobe!" When will there be two of the most popular and talked about characters in the finals? I believe in the ability of you and skip, even if you play on the spot, you can say well. ”

Stephen A took the glass of water, and his irritable mood seemed to improve: "You believe that I am right, but skip that old guy, I guess he won't be able to take my tricks, you need to find a few more people." ”

"I'll be enough for one person, Stephen." As he was talking, another skip bayless, known as "American Yu Jia", also came to the scene, he was a white man, and he didn't speak like Stephen A singing RAP, his commentary style was actually more like Yang Yi.

With Bayless, there is also the hostess of this show, in addition, there is a beauty, a Hollywood movie star, Sun Zhuo's ex-girlfriend, Jessica Alba.

"Oh my god, is Jessica Alba the host of our show? Antonie, I retract what I complained about you. The moment Stephen A saw Jessica Alba, he was attracted by her beauty, of course he knew that Jessica was a guest, but he deliberately ignored the hostess and made a joke.

With Stephen A there, the scene will not be too embarrassing, Jessica Alba has long hair and a shawl, wears a sleeveless shirt, is still a goddess, and she is also beautiful on camera.

"Jessica? FIRST TAKE？ Is there a show now? That night, when Sun Zhuo turned on the TV, he was also surprised to see this show, he didn't know when the show started, and he was even more curious that he would choose to invite Jessica as a guest on the first day of the show.

The show just started, and the hostess quickly got to the point, which is also the topic of discussion in this issue: "The Lakers and Magic advanced to the Finals, which many people didn't expect, so, what do you guys think?" Who do you think will win the championship? ”

Bayless stood on the side of the Magic and replied first: "You can see Eric Sun's growth and madness this season, he won Kobe Bryant in the regular season, Sun scored 81 points in the regular season, Kobe Bryant wanted to try, but it didn't work, the two scored and judged, in addition, they defeated the defending champions, solved the Cavaliers in 5 games, they also have a group of good shooters, I think this year's finals, will be the ultimate in individual heroism, and the final winner is the Magic." ”

After Bayless finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Stephen A, Stephen A didn't say a word at this time, and stared at Bayless with a kind of "I'll listen to your nonsense quietly" eyes, which is Stephen A's usual way of pretending, and it is also very effective, and the hostess and Jessica were amused.

"She's still so beautiful." The camera gave Jessica a chuckle, and after Sun Zhuo saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

After a few seconds of silence, Stephen A spoke: "You only said one sentence correctly, this Finals will be the ultimate in personal heroism, but in the end, it will not be Sun and Magic, but Kobe and the Los Angeles Lakers." I'll tell you why. I see the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat as teams at the same level, and I guess you all have no opinion, right? Okay, the Magic defeated the Heat, and the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks, however, please note that the Magic used seven games, and the last one was a gambling method to win the Heat, while the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks in only six games! I'll tell you again, Kobe Bryant has been in the finals four times, won four championships, and he has never lost the finals! Guess who I'm going to talk about next? That's right, it's the character that Kobe Bryant has always wanted to replace, Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan has not lost a single time in the finals, and as long as they get to that position, they can't fail! It's impossible for Sun to beat Kobe Bryant, unless there is Shaq by his side! ”

"This bastard ......" Sun Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved when he saw this: "Kobe Bryant has never lost in the finals, and I haven't lost in the finals, although I have only entered the ...... once"

Sun Zhuo will not be jealous of Stephen A's remarks, he is not quite the same as Charles Barkley, this is the effect of the show, the two always have to choose the side they support and then spray against each other, if Bayless chooses Kobe's Lakers, then Sun Zhuo believes that Stephen A will also use the same words to anger Kobe and the Lakers.

Stephen A and Bayless began to continue to motivate the debate, and the two of them said that the show had been very successful, and the analysis of the two professional commentators was more interesting than that of former superstars like Charles Barkley.

When the two were arguing, the hostess said, "Okay, let's also listen to Jessica Alba's opinion, shall we?" ”

Stephen A stopped and looked at Jessica, "Oh yes, Jessica is from Los Angeles, but Sun is your ex-boyfriend, this should be a difficult question to choose, right?" Also, I've always wanted to ask, what do you Los Angeles people think of the Lakers and Clippers? ”

Jessica stroked her hair a little nervously and said with a smile: "Uh, I don't know what to say, the Lakers and Clippers are in the same arena after all, unlike other teams, you can only like one, we are both supporting, and my dad also bought a season ticket for the Clippers this season." ”

"The Clippers?" Stephen A asked.

"Yes."

"What a brave man." Stephen A shook his head, and the hostess and Bayless couldn't help but snicker.

Seeing that Jessica couldn't choose between Los Angeles and the Orlando Magic, Stephen A asked Jessica directly: "Do you still like Sun?" ”

This sentence made Jessica's face crimson.

Sun Zhuo also suddenly became very excited, and felt a little embarrassed for Jessica, but seeing Jessica's smiling expression, the answer was obvious.

Stephen A joked, "If I were Sun, I would have to kiss you goodbye a few more times, whether I have a girlfriend or not." ”

"Alright, Stephen, we're not entertaining gossip." The hostess reminded.

But after listening to Stephen's words, Sun Zhuo was agitated, because Stephen A's seemingly absurd suggestion could really be completed quietly......

……

Under everyone's discussion and anticipation, the day of June 8th will come soon, and today, the Magic will sit at home, face the Lakers, and start the first game of this year's Finals!

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers have come to the Orlando Magic's home arena as promised!

"Kobe Bryant is here!"

"Before Sun, I was always a Kobe fan! I don't know what kind of madness the two will stage in this year's finals? ”

After Kobe Bryant entered the court, there were no boos on the scene, but showed a lot of fear, they knew that Kobe was a more ruthless person than Sun Zhuo, LeBron James failed to bring a great challenge to Sun Zhuo, Kobe Bryant will definitely not be as easy to deal with as James.

Today, however, there are two more unexpected audiences.

O'Neill and Wade.

"Look, Shaquille O'Neal is here too, what is he doing here? Is it in favor of magic? ”

"I guess he's here to see the fun, right?"

O'Neal is quite related to Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo, and his appearance has also made many people whisper.

O'Neal looked at Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo on the court, with a proud face: "These two best basketball players in the world at the moment were once my little brothers!" ”
