At 8 o'clock in the morning, Gao Tongxuan heard a knock on the door, and when she opened the door, she found that it was a male delivery man.

"Hello, is it Miss Gao?" The delivery man asked.

"I am."

"This is 999 roses that someone gave you anonymously, please receive them." The delivery man laughed, "This is Mr. Hayes's home, right?" Please make sure to cheer him up at night! ”

"Okay. Thank you. Gao Tongxuan signed the slip and entered the house with a large bouquet of roses.

'Didn't you send it by mistake?' Someone actually sent me flowers? Gao Tongxuan held the roses and felt very strange, because Hayes had never sent her flowers, and this man seemed to not know that women liked flowers.

At this time, Hayes poked his head out of the living room and said with a smile: "It's here." Do you like it? ”

"You sent it? No wonder I didn't even have a card to send flowers. Gao Tongxuan smiled and said, "What is it today?" ”

"Children's Day. I don't know how to make romance and I really appreciate you having bore me two lovely children. I'm stupid and don't know how to express it...... I heard that 999 roses represent eternity, and I hope our relationship can last forever......" Hayes stared at Gao Tongxuan and said slowly.

"Hehe, isn't the United States just Children's Day? You know this. Gao Tongxuan said with a smile, Hayes sent flowers, she felt that it was already a rare thing, and there was a little romance.

Then Gao Tongxuan thought that Taylor's one-year appointment had arrived, and after the finals, Taylor could meet Hayes. Maybe Hayes is struggling with the relationship? That's why he wanted to be nice to her.

"Chuck, thank you for the flowers, I'm so happy. It's the finals tonight, and the person who sent the flowers just now said to cheer you on, you must win the championship! Gao Tongxuan kissed Hayes lightly on the face and smiled.

"I will." Hayes smiled lightly. He's not at ease and he's going to have to win this series.

Gao Tongxuan misunderstood what Hayes meant, he thought that Hayes sent flowers because he couldn't let go of Taylor Swift. In fact, Hayes is going to propose to her with a championship ring after the finals to give her a name.

"I want to thank you too." Gao Tongxuan put the flower into the vase and said.

"Thank me for what? I don't seem to have done anything......" Hayes was a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for being with me and the child. I know you didn't practice shooting after the All-Star break, which might have a bad effect on your game, but I'm glad I did. Gao Tongxuan looked at Hayes, full of affection. She was also a little worried that Hayes was so focused on his career that he didn't have time to spend with her.

"Whatever you say, this is what should be done, I have to be a qualified father. Now my shooting is good, and when my kids get older, they need to practice shooting. Hayes laughed.

Gao Tongxuan listened to the psychological beauty and said with a smile: "Isn't this the finals?" I'm afraid you're not in a good state......"

"We're going to beat the Lakers, and I'm not the only one with the Bobcats."

The Lakers will definitely keep a tight watch on Hayes. The Bobcats have to have someone to step up and help Hayes, and the best person is Billups.

The biggest advantage for both sides is not Hayes vs. Gasol, but Billups vs. Fisher, and as long as "Flounder" blows up "Little Fish", the game will be very easy. D'Antoni is also prepared to focus on Billups, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses.

The Lakers coaching staff has also done a good job, and it is not difficult to see the advantages and disadvantages when comparing the main players of the two sides. Phil Jackson had been preparing for the day to deal with the Bobcats.

Inside vs. Lopez vs Bynum. Both are young players, with Bynum having the rebounding advantage and Lopez shooting better. Bynum wins in terms of physicality and game experience, a position where the Lakers have an advantage. The Zen master thinks that Camby is just in name, behind Bynum in all aspects of physical fitness, and there is nothing remarkable except for grabbing rebounds and brushing statistics, and if the Bobcats let Camby start, it will be more beneficial to the Lakers. On the defensive end, he could also put Camby shots and put more troops against Hayes.

Comparison of forwards, Hayes vs Gasol. The two have their own strengths, Hayes has a large offensive range, no dead shots, and is better at maneuvering. Gasol is good at attacking with a lot of low-post offensive means, high lifting, height and long arms, which can completely make up for the lack of strength. Hayes is less than two meters tall and it won't be easy to single Gasol on the inside. However, Hayes is the most versatile player in the league and is still stronger than Gasol.

Wallace vs Butler. Both are also all-round players, Butler is good at attacking, Wallace is good at defending, and the strength is equal.

The Lakers' outside line is the problem. Kobe Bryant's height is only 198cm, which is 10 cm shorter than Durant. In the first game of the regular season, when the two were facing each other, Kobe Bryant struggled defensively. But Durant can limit Kobe Bryant very well, and now Kobe's style of play tends to shoot from the outside, and Durant is just good at preventing opponents from shooting. Kobe Bryant is much more famous than Durant, but the two are facing each other, and the Lakers are tied at most.

The point guard is the most obvious disadvantage over the Lakers, and the elder Mai Fisher is no match for Billups. Billups is more accomplished than Fisher in terms of his ability to connect teams, and his individual offensive prowess should not be underestimated, allowing the Bobcats' defensive system to play a chemical reaction. On the other hand, the Lakers, Fisher can be said to be the Lakers' biggest shortcoming, and they are often blown up by opponents this season. Billups has an overwhelming caste advantage. In response to this, Phil Jackson is ready to surprise the win.

That evening, the eyes of the world were on Time Warner Arena. As long as you're in Charlotte, you can feel the atmosphere of the local finals wherever you are.

Fans wearing Bobcat jerseys can be seen everywhere along the way. More than three hours before the start of the game, several buses selling Bobcat souvenirs were parked in front of the arena, where many fans picked up their cheering gear. The TV truck is also ready for the NBA Finals, and everyone is ready to go.

Aside from a huge "NBA Finals" sign at the entrance of the arena, it's not much different from previous rounds of the playoffs. Actually, there are a lot of details that are still quite special. For example, there are posters with the number 4 in many places at the door. This is not the third episode of "Fantastic Four", but it means that if you win 4 more games, the Bobcats will win the championship. The people of Charlotte are hoping that the Bobcats can pull off a playoff run!

To the east of the arena is the media entrance, and the narrow road at the entrance is filled with more than a dozen police cars, two of which are even parked on the lawn. It's not the same as in previous playoff rounds, and Charlotte's police didn't use as much of a force to be there in the early rounds. Charlotte's security is not good, and the fact that so many police officers are deployed at the entrance of the finals in the gymnasium shows what a big game it is.

The security check of the stadium is also stricter than in the past, the staff carefully check every pocket of the fans who enter the stadium, all suspicious items have to be taken out, not sloppy at all, if someone throws objects on the stadium is a very serious matter, the reporter entry procedure is more strict, they also have to accept the inspection of the police dog, throw the bag on the ground, let the police dog sniff, confirm that there is no problem before you can carry the bag and leave, because the reporter can be very close to the stadium.

The staff of Time Warner Arena are very serious, after all, they are the first time to experience such a big scene as the NBA Finals, more than three hours before the game, they rehearsed one link after another, this kind of game broadcast live in many countries around the world, they are afraid of a little mistake, the most interesting part is the player appearance ceremony, 6 staff members play 5 starters and head coaches respectively, with the scene DJ's passionate voice one by one. Although it was only a dress rehearsal, they were not ambiguous at all, and their actions such as high-fives, chest bangs, and hand waving were quite similar to those of the players.

Singing the national anthem also requires a rehearsal. The Bobcats invited none other than the famous singer Michael Jackson. He's been in Charlotte and has a lot of close relationships with the Bobcats, so it's easier to ask him. During the singing, the staff cheered him enthusiastically. Jackson's voice sings the national anthem with a unique flavor.

The game is about to start, and when Hayes comes out, the atmosphere is like a fire, and the sound is shocking!

The NBA Finals were broadcast live across the country, and of course Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Reggie Miller of TN*T Radio were indispensable on the scene. ESPN also sent Magic Johnson and Joan Barry.

The Imperial Court 5 also sent two commentators, Sun Zhenping and Zhang Lili. This is a pair that completely affects the ratings, Zhang Lili still understands basketball, and Director Sun does not have any basketball connotation, commentary is a technical job, not to mention a lot of professional knowledge, but also a certain affinity to attract the audience to listen to the commentary in front of the TV, otherwise he will suffer and not say, which will make the audience lose their appetite. This person is a complete layman in basketball, and he has no opinion of his own except for mechanically repeating and repeating the information at hand, and such a person being a commentator is the biggest failure of the sports station. But he was able to squeeze away Huang Jianxiang, the "tsunami sound" that many people like...... Before the game even started, there was a joke.

Live footage gives a man in sunglasses. Sun Zhenping immediately said excitedly: "This NBA Finals has attracted many celebrities to watch, and our stock god Warren Buffett is also on the scene!" ”

At this time, the subtitle was given on the spot: "jimmybuffett".

Sun Zhenping continued: "Warren Buffett wore a green casual suit today. It looks very spiritual, but it's weird, as a stock god, he shouldn't like green, right? ”

After a while, Sun Zhenping found the problem under Zhang's reasonable reminder and said, "I'm sorry. Warren Buffett is not there right now. This is Jimmy Buffett, a singer. (How did you just identify him as a god?) Barkley analysed the game. "The Bobcats were dominant on the outside in this game. If Fisher can't stop Billups, the Bobcats will definitely win, and the game is about to start, and I don't know how the two sides will arrange for this game. ”

"Bobcats Lopez replaced a bald head today! I thought I saw Gortat. I don't know if the Bobcats will start Lopez today, Camby's offense is poor. "The starters on both sides came out, Lopez was on, Fisher didn't ......," Smith said.

The starting lineup of the Bobcats is point guard Chauncey Billups, scoring guard Kevin Durant, small forward Gerard Wallace, power forward Chuck Hayes, and center Brook Lopez.

The Lakers sent an alternative starting lineup: center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Caron Butler, scoring guard Trevor Aruzza, and point guard turned out to be Kobe Bryant!
