Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Final Is Coming
The temporary change of the venue to the MGM Arena was a huge venture for Adam Shaw, a decision that was strongly opposed by the league's board of directors, who mainly considered that the temporary change of venue was difficult to solve, such as venue construction, ticketing adjustments, security issues, etc.
But Adam Shaw's proposal won the support of many bosses, who, like Adam Shaw, have greater ambitions, after all, only making money is the most important thing.
Apparently the opponents underestimated Adam Shaw's determination, and when they heard that Adam had obtained the consent of the head of the MGM Arena.
In the end, the NBA Las Vegas Summer League finals were held at the famous MGM Stadium in the United States for the first time in history.
As soon as the news was issued, it was reprinted by all NBA big-name stars, retired stars, and media people, and the NBA set up a mission team to be responsible for the construction of the venue and the handling of security problems. It was only 10 a.m. when the news was announced, and the Finals were at 7:30 p.m., which was enough time for the NBA professional team to set up the venue and prepare enough time for all personnel to adjust, such as TV broadcasts. What's more, NBA fans have more time to buy tickets and more time to travel to Las Vegas.
The Kings players were even more excited when they got the news, and they decided to train harder to win the evening's game.
A summer league that had little attention was originally brought to the climax by the inadvertent promotion of people from all walks of life.
The King's temporary training venue, Zhang Feng and others gathered around Coach Turner, listening to him repeat the final tactical arrangement, although the night game may be ever-changing, but everyone An Jiali quietly walked into the venue, Turner shook his head, signaling Zhang Feng to go over to accompany her first, after all, this tactic was proposed by Zhang Feng, and he knew best.
Zhang Feng trotted all the way to An Jiali's side, took An Jiali's little hand, and said with a smile: "Come here so early, don't you miss me too much."
An Jiali ignored Zhang Feng's teasing, hugged Zhang Feng directly, and then said as if "complaining": "Tonight's big scene, come over and give you matching clothes, lest you wear your Armani suit again."
As soon as An Jiali said this, Zhang Feng remembered that he should indeed dress up, in the past, many players in the NBA Finals would dress up, although this time it was the Summer League, but the attention was no less than that of the NBA Finals.
Zhang Feng wanted to take a leave of absence and leave first, but Turner ended the training early and told everyone to prepare for their show. As the players were about to disperse, Carter and Hill stopped the crowd and Carter said:
"Before coming to the Summer League, I promised you to win the championship and invite you to take a day trip, and today I reiterate that I mean it again"
Hill continued, "I promise you guys to go to the club."
As soon as the two said this, a group of young players remembered what these two veterans said when the Kings first gathered. Justin rushed up and gave Carter a hug, while Zhang Feng stretched out his hand and put it in the middle of the crowd. Everyone understood what he meant, and everyone folded their hands together, stared at each other, and said in unison:
“WE ARE KINGS”。
-----------------------
Today's Las Vegas night usually came a little early, and Zhang Feng took Anjiali's hand and walked on the way to MGM Stadium, as if they were going out alone for the first time to watch the sunset on the Saramento Bridge.
"What you said seems to be coming true," Angari said.
"What did I say? It's not like I want to raise you for the rest of my life," Zhang Feng said with a smile.
"You don't have to say that, that's how it should be, but do you remember that on the Saramento Bridge, you said you wanted to win the championship?" Angeli has a good memory.
Zhang Feng remembered this and said with a smile: "Yes, if this time is counted, I can win a championship first."
"Let's go, I see the crowd," Anjiali said with a smile.
The NBA official and major TV stations have a very grand event, and TNT and ESPN have sent location hosts to broadcast live the entry of various entertainment stars, NBA stars, and players from both teams.
The location reporter sent by TNT is the big beauty Jaime Maggio, who is strong and plump, and she stands out from the crowd a little bit. ESPN sent Heather Cox, a middle-aged beauty who has not been interviewed much, and she was born as a women's volleyball player, and she did not give ESPN a momentum.
Jaime Maggio moistened his throat, picked up the microphone, and said into the camera:
"Good evening, Shaq, Kenny, Charles"
"Good evening, Maggio," the trio replied.
"Okay, I'm going to bring you a live interview with you on the sidelines of this Summer League Finals, and right now I'm standing next to Kobe Bryant," Maggio said.
Kobe Bryant said to the camera: "Good evening everyone"
"Difficult choice for the second time, you can't change your supporter tonight," Maggio said, referring to Kobe's tweet last night.
Kobe Bryant leaked a "want to tease me" expression, and said with a smile: "The Lakers have won a lot of championships, this time I want to support my brother Zhang Feng"
There are many stars after Kobe, and Maggio didn't ask much. As soon as Kobe Bryant entered the arena, there was a scream from the crowd, and as soon as the TNT cameraman turned the camera, the audience watching the live broadcast saw the "Four Heroes of Wind and Dust" walking over together.
LeBron dressed up to attend, Wade and the others also dressed up, only JR Smith, who came with him, was dressed in hip-hop style, Maggio walked quickly to LeBron's side, raised the microphone and asked:
"James, it seems that you were the one who pushed for the grand event of this game, and your tweet aroused the interest of many big-name stars, I want to ask, why do you like Zhang Feng so much?"
LeBron only thought for a second, and then said seriously: "I didn't promote this game, Zhang Feng had a long time ago that can be called the No. 1 slam dunk video in the NBA published on the Internet, as well as Kobe Bryant's 1V1 live broadcast, as well as various wonderful performances on the court, and what is more dramatic is that he is on the other favorite Lonzo Ball, and Chairman Adam also has the determination to promote the development of the summer league and promote the development of the league, what I did just happened to give everyone a start."
LeBron is recognized as having high emotional intelligence, and his words are not only humble, but also praise people from all walks of life.
Satisfied with this answer, Maggio asked:
"So who do you think will win tonight?"
"NBA, where amazing happens, both teams are very good, I personally prefer Zhang Feng" LeBron is still dripping.
After saying that, LeBron wanted to leave, but found that Curry and Durant were interviewed by ESPN reporter Heather Cox, and the two were asked the same question, and Curry said loudly:
"Support the Lakers, support Coach Wharton".
LeBron smiled and walked quickly out of the interview area into the stadium, but some "enthusiastic" fans immediately posted what the two said on the Internet, and attached a video of the interview between the two.
After LeBron and Curry entered the court, fans watched the arrival of big-name NBA stars such as Lillard, Westbrook and Paul George.
Finally, the game was about to start, Jennifer Lawrence brought her beautiful friend Twilight Stewart and her girlfriends to the climax, Kendall Jenner also came with her newly made boyfriend, famous Lakers fan Nicholson also hurried to support the young Lakers, and some stars took the VIP channel to enter in a low-key manner.
There is still an hour left before the start of the game, and the rest of the people who have not yet entered, except for the spectators, are the protagonists who were specially arranged by the NBA to enter the last - the Kings and Lakers players.
