Charles Barkley has never been a fan of the Golden State Warriors, not since last season, because he loves dunks more than jump shots, so he doesn't like a jump shooting team like the Warriors, and he always feels that the Warriors need an interior player to be perfect.
He was originally more optimistic about the Cavaliers winning the championship, but the Cavaliers were defeated by the Knicks, and O'Neal took it for granted that Barkley would turn to support the Knicks who defeated the Cavaliers, but O'Neal was wrong.
Barkley explained in a serious way: "That's right, I admit that I've always been unfavorable to the Warriors winning the championship, but I can't bet on the Knicks, in contrast, the Warriors are obviously a more united and stronger team, the Knicks are too dependent on Xie, and Xie will miss the first game, I can't help but choose the Warriors, yes, I'm ready to kneel to them, I want to congratulate my old colleague Steve Kerr in advance, you won." ”
Even Barkley, who has always disliked the Warriors, chose the Warriors to win!
O'Neal couldn't take it anymore, he kept shaking his head: "Your thoughts are surprisingly consistent with those guys who don't understand the ball at all, I'm disappointed, we're all players, and we're all players who have played in the Finals, and we've all won championships, sorry, Barkley, I forgot you don't have a championship." I mean we should know that in the Finals, it's the stars that matter, and I know the Warriors have a better team, but so what? How many points do Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson add up? Xie alone can score more than both of them! Xie is the most dominant superstar since ego, he definitely has the right to dominate the game, and I bet on the Knicks to win! ”
Charles Barkley clearly disagreed: "I have to remind you that if you don't play in the first game, the Knicks will lose 100 percent. In other words, Xie has to win four of their six games, and if you think about the difficulty of this, they are facing the strongest team in history with 73 wins! ”
At this time, O'Neill's mouth was already open and he was about to speak, and the host suddenly couldn't help but interject: "Oh, what did I hear? You say the Warriors are the best team in history? Charles. Don't you disagree with the dominance of the warriors? Also said that they will be defeated before 25, sorry, Shaq, you continue. ”
O'Neal said: "I don't care about these objective things, what I value is the ability and talent of the superstar, not to mention that Xie didn't play in the first game, that is, he didn't play in the first two games, I also think he can win the championship, this is the ability of a superstar!" ”
O'Neill was supporting Xie Chen. In fact, he is also supporting himself, if it is O'Neill at his peak, even if his teammates are not as strong as the opponent, but he alone can also destroy the opponent, I don't care how many people you can fight, I only know that I can defeat several of you alone!
O'Neill appreciates Xie Chen's point very much.
However, O'Neal's groundless support for Xie Chen and the Knicks also caused other people to disagree. They are all waiting for the finals to be over and see how O'Neal gets out.
……
The Knicks players were geared up for the flight to Oakland. On the special plane, it can be seen that the faces of the players are a little dignified, whether they are facing the Raptors, Heat or Cavaliers before, they are not so unconfident, as if they flew over to send the opponent two wins.
Porzingis, a rookie who played in the Finals for the first time. There was no confidence at all, and with the lack of the team boss, he didn't know how to play the first game.
"I don't know if we can win the first game, do you think Xie will come back tomorrow?" Porzingis asked.
Anthony immediately replied, "I know it's going to make you nervous to play in the Finals in your first year in the league, but you have to be a little bit more confident. We can't always rely on Xie, we have to respect his decision, and you should think that if we can beat the Warriors in Xie's absence, wouldn't the rest of the game be much better? ”
Ci Shiping also looked excited: "Cameron is so right, although we didn't thank you for the end, but I'm back!" That damn ban is finally over! Don't worry, Draymond Green will leave that guy to me, and I will definitely make this guy worse than dead! ”
Draymond Green has a pivotal position in the Warriors, and the coach has placed this person in the custody of Ci Shiping, and Fisher hopes that Ci Shiping will use various methods to deal with him, whether it is compliant or foul, as long as it can reach the point of influencing Green, everything is worth it.
The day before the game, both teams were training in the stadium seriously and nervously, Anthony worked especially hard, the next game was the most important game in his entire career, and it was also the most watched and anticipated game, in the case of supporting a team alone, his play was too important, in order to get the FMVP he dreamed of, he also had to fight!
On the Warriors' side, compared to the Knicks' training gym, it is obviously much easier, except for one person. He was Draymond Green.
Curry, Thompson, Iguodala are all in a very relaxed mood, is there still a threat to the Knicks without Xie Chen? They felt that they couldn't solve the opponent more in three quarters.
Dream Green is also confident that his team will win, but he looks very anxious on the court.
He walked up to Coach Cole and looked at a loss: "Coach, that bastard of Ci Shiping just tweeted about me, saying that he wanted to kill me!" ”
Cole smiled and asked, "What, do you think he's going to restrain you?" ”
Green said: "Of course not! It's just that, you know, that guy Ci Shiping can do anything, I'm not afraid that he will spew trash talk with me or do any insidious and vicious actions, I can play with him, I'm afraid of him...... I'm afraid he'll kiss me on the mouth! ”
"Hahaha......" Cole couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Green was really cute at this time.
Green immediately said anxiously: "Coach, what are you laughing at?" It's not like he hasn't done anything like this before! He did it all to James, and he's sure he will do it to me! What am I going to do? ”
Green has always been a tough guy, no one is timid, I didn't expect to be afraid in the face of Ci Shiping, Cole patted Green on the shoulder and said, "I know they will definitely send Ci Shiping to harass you." There may be a lot of actions that make you uncomfortable, and it's a good thing that you've already prepared yourself in advance, and as for what to do if you ask me if he wants to kiss you, I don't know, I can only ask you a little, no matter how he provokes you. Whether he's making a small move on you or disgusting you like you say, you have to make sure you can't hit him, and once you're banned, we're caught up in the other side's tricks, you know? ”
Green clenched his fists with a look of grievance, if Ci Shiping dared to kiss him on the mouth like he kissed James, with Green's temper, he would definitely not be able to resist swinging it with an elbow or a punch, and it was inevitable to fight with Ci Shiping. Now the coach demands that he must not fight, how is this good for him? Silently endure Ci Shiping's bullying and insults like this? No, never, the thought of this makes Green angry!
Green continued: "Coach, I think the Knicks will use all kinds of indiscriminate moves to fight us in the first game, because they can't win seriously, and I even wonder if the first game was not intentional. Deliberately watched a good show on the sidelines and let us fight. He took advantage of it again in the second game. ”
Cole nodded: "Imagination is good, since we think of this, then we can't have any loss before Xie appears, come on tomorrow, get Ci Shiping off as soon as possible, or ban him." You don't have to bother so much. ”
After talking to the coach, Dream Green still couldn't train with peace of mind, sat in the chair and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a way to know if it was a solution.
……
The next day, the day of the Grand Finals. It is also the day when Xie Chen officially became a father, he welcomed his daughter on this day, he and the woman he loved the most finally had the crystallization of their love, Xie Chen has been in great happiness, looking at his newborn daughter, looking at Katie who has become a mother who has paid silently, he completely forgot that there is a game today.
The weak Katie was lying on the hospital bed, but it was not their child to talk about, Katie whispered to Xie Chen: "Fly over now, you should still be able to catch up with the game......
Xie Chen sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and stroked Katie's cheek, it was really a blessing to have a woman who cared so much about herself and loved herself, Xie Chen said, "Let me accompany you here, I'll leave in two days." ”
"But ......" Katie was still worried about Xie Chen, because he knew that Xie Chen wanted this championship too much.
Xie Chen held Katie's weak right hand tightly and said, "I promise you, even if we lose one game first, this year's championship will definitely be mine!" ”
In the afternoon, the Knicks players who were far away in Oakland also heard about Xie Chen's father, and they all called to congratulate him, but on the other hand, they inevitably complained about Xie Chen.
"What a loss of victory!" Porzingis said inwardly.
Just when I was depressed, something even more depressing happened, when the players got on the bus to rush to Oracle Arena, only to be told that the bus broke down and they couldn't go.
After tossing for a long time and not setting off, Ci Shiping was a little annoyed: "Which guy did something in our car?" Damn, let me know, I'm going to just let him go! ”
This incident made the whole Knicks team very unhappy, and the mood was extremely bad, Ci Shiping was in the mood to hit someone, and the culprit of this incident was Dream Green.
Green deliberately broke the bus they used, he wanted Ci Shiping to be irritable and angry, and to play with him on the playing field, it doesn't matter if the action is bigger, Green is a tough guy, don't be afraid of this, don't play any kisses! He couldn't stand it.
Green felt that he had Ci Shiping, and Ci Shiping was not interested in playing ambiguous games such as kissing and blowing.
When the Knicks arrived at the court, Green also deliberately observed Ci Shiping's face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ci Shiping's angry eyes.
"Look at the way this guy looks, he must be angry now, very good, I'll provoke you later, and you'll be sent out directly!" Green already has a plan to deal with Ci Shiping.
The other Warriors players are not as tired as Green, they don't need to think about the opponent at all, they don't take any opponent in their eyes at all, they just need to play well.
When Klay Thompson was in practice, he asked Curry, "Brother, are you nervous?" ”
Curry shrugged: "It's Game 1 of the Finals today, and I want to be nervous, but I can't. ”
Klay Thompson smiled: "Me too, I was nervous to death when I played the finals for the first time last year, and this year I want to avenge last year, and I have to defend the honor of 73 wins, I thought that when it came to the finals, I would be very nervous, but I was not nervous at all." Facing them, it was like an ordinary regular season. ”
Curry said: "When I talk about the regular season, I get angry, we faced the Knicks in the regular season and lost twice in a row, otherwise our score would be 75 wins, thank you today, we have to get face back, don't show mercy." ”
"Do I look like a very benevolent person?" Klay Thompson smirked.
The race has finally begun!
"Thanks, don't blame me for bullying them if you're not here today!" As soon as Stephen Curry came up, he shot directly into a super long three-pointer!
The atmosphere was instantly ignited!
"Hahaha, the copycat Curry is not here today, Curry can abuse them recklessly tonight!" The fans at the scene were also very cheerful, and they hoped that Curry could make a big kill tonight, after all, losing two games to the Knicks in the regular season made them feel very shameful.
After Curry, Klay Thompson followed suit with a three-pointer.
Just when everyone thought that the two Splash Brothers could defeat the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony actually hit two three-pointers in a row to equalize the score!
There was an exclamation at the scene!
They all forgot that the Knicks are not just Xie Chen's team, there is also a superstar on the team, Anthony!
Anthony chuckled: "Tonight is my time to prove myself, don't just remember LeBron, and me Carmelo Anthony!" ”
Curry was also slightly surprised: "Anthony is so decisive tonight? I don't believe you alone can win us! ”
Go on!
The Warriors continued to bombard the Knicks' basket with what they do best, and Anthony kept shooting, and everyone could see that Anthony was going to attack tonight. The hope is very strong, it seems that he wants to be like Xie Chen, scoring 60 or even 70 points in a game.
However, Kerr doesn't think Anthony can score that many points.
"Maybe based on the speed at which he scores, he should be able to score more than 60 points in the fourth quarter, but if the current situation continues, there is no need for the fourth quarter, and by the third quarter, we will have a 20-point lead, and Anthony will not be able to be a hero tonight."
The two teams played halftime, and Anthony scored 30 points, but they trailed the Warriors by 20 points!
