Chapter 192: The Second Millennium

At 8:30 p.m. on June 28, the 2016-2017 NBA Finals officially kicked off, and the Knicks sat at home to meet the challenge of the Warriors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The matchup in this series is not as passionate as the fate and revenge of the Warriors and Cavaliers, but there is no lack of highlights, such as the confrontation between the two super shooters of Ray Allen and Curry, the flank battle between Anthony and Durant, and the fierce collision of the tactical system between Kerr and Wang Zhuo, but more people pay attention to the head-to-head competition between the champion and the top eye of the 07 class.

Oden entered the league as the top pick in the '07 draft, and Durant was the eye, although Durant quickly grew into a top superstar after entering the league, and Oden almost ruined his career due to injury, but the draft pick is a thing of the past and cannot be changed.

In addition, no matter how hard Durant tries, he has always been below James, so Durant was named the title of "the second millennium", and fans with ulterior motives even ridiculed Westbrook that the boss of the Thunder has always been Westbrook, leaving the Thunder and joining the Warriors, but still only Curry is the first.

Durant had previously revealed that he wanted to take off the hat of "second millennium" when facing the media, so before the game, Durant was secretly determined to humiliate Oden in this game, regain the title that should belong to him, and silence the fans who used to sneer at him.

The on-site commentators for this game are Reggie Miller and Shaq O'Neal from TNT, one is a former league three-point champion, and the other is a low-post big killer.

"Shaq, Kevin and Cameron, who do you admire more?"

This round of the series between the Warriors and the Knicks is nothing more than a matchup between the outside three-point pair and Anthony and Durant, the two top small forwards, so Miller gave O'Neal a problem that is not human inside and out.

"Reggie, I don't want to step on this trap, but I can secretly tell you that among the players of the Warriors and Knicks, Javier McGee I admire the most, you know, MyBoy McGee, IWantYou!"

O'Neal didn't want to offend either Durant and Anthony, so he squinted at Miller with cold eyes, didn't answer at all, and then pretended to mumble mysteriously in Miller's ear, and then the conversation suddenly changed to the funny style when playing the five embarrassments, which caused the fans to laugh.

McGee, who was on the Warriors' bench, frowned and pursed his lips when he heard O'Neal's ridicule, with a silly and cute expression, obviously unwilling to listen to O'Neal's taunts.

"If I were Javier, I would dunk a ball on your head, teach you a hard lesson, and teach you how to behave."

Miller knew that O'Neal was a natural comedian, and in order to continue the fun, Miller pouted and said disdainfully to O'Neal, even deliberately provoking a fight between O'Neill and McGee.

"I'm going to put him on my head and dunk it, because I know he might not be able to tell where his basket is?"

O'Neill followed the bamboo pole Miller gave him, and continued to hurt McGee without holding back, and he couldn't help but laugh when he finished speaking.

Miller finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, poor McGee sat on the Warriors' bench and was embarrassed, but helpless, who made him a frequent visitor to O'Neal's five embarrassing videos.

As the game entered the pre-phase, O'Neal Miller announced the starting lineups for both sides, with Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Pachulia for the Warriors and Grant, Rose, Anthony, Porzingis and Oden for the Knicks.

When O'Neal read Oden's name, a slight commotion broke out in the arena, because throughout the season, except for injuries and rotations, the Knicks' starting lineup was unchanged, but when it came to the life-and-death finals, Wang Zhuo actually chose to change the lineup.

You must know that the formation change is a double-edged sword, playing a miraculous effect to kill people, and if you can't cooperate, you will cut off your lifeline, Wang Zhuo is too risky to do this, before the game, the conservative and stubborn Van Gundy had questioned Wang Zhuo's temporary change of formation.

Of course, Wang Zhuo is by no means a whim, and he changes the formation without purpose, Wang Zhuo has his own ideas, since the media is very concerned about the head-to-head confrontation between Durant and Oden, Wang Zhuo simply pushed the boat down the river and gave the two a chance to meet.

On the one hand, the interior twin towers composed of Oden and Porzingis can definitely make endless trouble for the Warriors' weak interior line, on the other hand, if Oden can resist Durant's crazy offense on the inside, it will definitely have a significant impact on Durant's psychology, since Durant cares about the title of "second millennium", Wang Zhuo decided to make "second millennium" a burden that Durant can't take off for the rest of his life.

As for the "Wave Master and Apprentice" advocated by the media before, it was purely Wang Zhuo's blind break and a smokescreen bomb, and I am afraid that this round of the series will not see the three-point confrontation between the Wave Master and Apprentice and the Splash Brothers, after all, this is the finals where every inch of land is contested, not an all-star of individual performances.

"If I were Kevin, I'd find a chance to get a dunk on Greg's head and prove that I was the best player in the '07 draft."

Miller was also extremely shocked by Wang Zhuo's change of formation, and it seemed that everything was developing in the direction the media wanted, so he pushed the boat down the river and tried to sing a duet with O'Neill again.

"No, as a Big Mac on the inside, I'd rather see Greg give Kevin a strong block to prove that his strength is fully worthy of the title of champion."

O'Neal sang the opposite tune with Miller, after all, O'Neal was once a giant under the basket, so he naturally stood on the side of Oden, who was also an insider.

"Alright, Shaq, we can make a bet."

Miller frowned, and said extremely unconvinced, his tone extremely provocative.

"No, Reggie, Charles's saliva has given me nightmares, and I don't want to taste your saliva again."

O'Neill seemed to remember something, looked horrified and disgusted, and finally rejected Miller's proposal directly.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, signaling players from both sides to come on.

Oden and Pachulia jumped the ball in the center circle, and Oden easily spotted the ball, dialed it to Grant, carried Curry's defense, and dribbled the ball across the half.

Grant was on the sidelines at the top of the arc, Porzingis mentioned a high pick-and-roll, Grant burst inside around the screen, and Oden moved from the right free throw line to the left.

Grant didn't stick to the ball and threw the ball directly, Oden understood it, formed a connection with Grant in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket through Pachuria, and the Knicks took the lead.

The Warriors served in the backcourt, Curry dribbled across the half court, and ran a roundabout tactic with Thompson and Durant at the top of the arc, and finally the ball stayed in Durant's hands. (To be continued.) )
