At 7 p.m. on June 7, 2007, the Indianapolis Bankers Life Arena was already crowded with people at the moment, as a place with a very strong basketball atmosphere, the NBA Finals is undoubtedly a grand event for millions of basketball fans in Indiana, regardless of whether they can buy tickets to watch the stadium or not, these fans who support the Pacers will flock to Indianapolis from all corners of Indiana, for them, Even being able to stand in the square outside the Bankers' Life Arena and listen to the cheers in the stadium is a satisfying and happy thing.

According to the statistics of the Indianapolis government, during the NBA Finals every year, there will be at least more than 200,000 fans and spectators from all over the world pouring into Indianapolis, which is undoubtedly a very big burden for a city with a total population of only more than 800,000 people, but such a large number of foreign population influx has also made Indianapolis' tourism boom rapidly, and at this time of year, Indianapolis' hotels will be overcrowded. The pedestrians all over the streets and alleys have also increased the pressure on Indianapolis' security, but these troubles and burdens are also happy worries and burdens for the Indianapolis government, and the benefits brought by such a large number of tourists to all walks of life in Indianapolis are immeasurable.

The Pacers and Spurs Finals undoubtedly have a very big attraction, the NBA league has been hyped since last season, and finally became a reality this season, Duncan and Meng Xu, the Wake Forest duo that was once expected by countless people, these two perennial NBA top three historical superstars, finally ushered in the first Finals showdown in their careers.

The first two rows of seats in today's game are also occupied by many Hollywood superstars, business celebrities, and politicians, of course, there are still many spectators with special status, who did not choose to sit on the side of the court, but chose to sit in a more spacious box, such as NBA president David Stern, who is now sitting in the central box of the Banker's Life Arena, and Michael Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, who is known as the god of basketball by the majority of fans.

"David, do you want one!" Pulling out the cigar he was carrying, Jordan asked David Stern, who was sitting next to him, if he wanted one.

"Michael, don't be so polite, you know, I rarely smoke this thing." David Stern replied to Jordan with a smile and turned his gaze back to the big screen in the center of the court, which was playing the Pacers' regular season and playoff highlights.

"David, you've finally got your wish now, and I think you should need to smoke a cigar to celebrate." Although David Stern said no to Jordan, Jordan skillfully cut a cigar for David Stern and handed it over.

"Michael, don't you think the scene in front of us is exactly what we need?" After taking the cigar handed over by Jordan and sniffing it under his nose, the smile on David Stern's face became stronger, the NBA is now the third largest sports league in North America, but this is far from enough for David Stern, David Stern's ultimate goal is to make the NBA surpass MLB and NFL, and become the largest and most successful professional sports league in North America, planning and packaging the Wake Forest Matchup is only the first step in the NBA to achieve this great goal, although the finals have not yet begun, But the final result is already predictable, and this year's NBA Finals will be one of the greatest and most exciting Finals matchups in NBA history.

After the end of this season's finals, the NBA and ABC, TNT, ESPN's broadcast contracts will end, it can be expected that with the great success of this season's finals, the NBA's new broadcast contract will inevitably be a sky-high contract, with the signing of the new broadcast contract, the team's share skyrockets, the salary cap rises, the luxury tax threshold is raised, the NBA league will inevitably usher in a new prosperous era, and such a situation is undoubtedly what everyone wants to see, Especially team owners like Michael Jordan.

"David, congratulations, no, congratulations to us." With Jordan's intelligence, he can see through everything behind this without David Stern explicitly speaking, so after David Stern finished speaking, Jordan raised the cigar that symbolizes victory in the NBA to David Stern.

Just as David Stern and Jordan were celebrating each other, the visiting Spurs also walked out of the player tunnel one after another, and the much-anticipated NBA Finals and Wake Forest Twin Heroes officially kicked off.

。。。。。。

"Hello viewers around the world, this is ABC Network, I'm El Michaels, and today I'm going to be joined by me and my old partner Elvin Johnson, as well as special guest commentators from TNT TV, Charles Barkley, and Reggie Miller, to bring you the first game of the 2006-2007 NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers' home game against the San Antonio Spurs."

"The first time I commented on the finals, I was a little nervous." After Michaels' more formal opening remarks, Barkley revealed his funny nature as soon as he spoke, causing the several commentators sitting next to him to burst into laughter.

"Reggie, do you regret it, I retired a little early, otherwise, you should be standing on the field now and fighting for your fifth championship." After everyone's laughter stopped, Magic Johnson turned the conversation to Reggie Miller, the former banner of the Pacers, Reggie Miller's career was very successful, and he was even selected by the media for the NBA's 50 superstar supplement list last season.

"Haha, of course I regret it, if I hadn't signed a long-term contract with TNT, I would definitely go to Larry and ask him to sign me with a base salary." Reggie Miller said with a smile as he looked at Barkley sitting next to him, this guy sneered at Reggie Miller in his usual live TV broadcast, thinking that Reggie Miller's championship rings were all "picked".

"Hey, hey, hey, Reggie, what do you mean by that? Believe it or not, I'm going to go to Larry and ask him to sign me with a base salary next season and let me pick a championship ring behind Meng's ass. Seeing Reggie Miller's ill-intentioned eyes, Barkley even wanted to hit someone angrily, without a championship ring, but Barkley's life was painful, but Reggie Miller, this guy, took the championship ring at every turn, and even took out three championship rings from his pocket when he was commenting on the regular season, and put them on his fingers one by one in front of Barkley, which made Barkley disgusted.

"Charles, I didn't say anything." Reggie Miller squeezed his eyes at Barkley, then deliberately stretched out his finger and rubbed it on his chin.

"Reggie, do you want to go it alone with me?"

"Hahahaha。。。。。。" Seeing the two teases fighting each other, Michaels and Magic Johnson both laughed back and forth.
