June 2, 2007 was the first day of the Grand Final.

The venue is at the Air Canada Centre arena.

Many people feel that the Raptors, who have the home court advantage, can fully take the initiative in this round of games, which is the most favorable condition for Wu Di to win the championship.

Although it was a finals that took place in the Maple Leaf Country, it did not affect the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game.

On this day, many fans came to Toronto by plane, car and other modes of transportation in the hope of witnessing this special round of the series.

Wu Di felt that the fans of the Toronto home team were not necessarily crazy, but he was moved by his die-hard fans who came from all over the world.

In addition to the excitement, Wu Di chose to repay these crazy hardcore supporters with actions.

At Wu Di's suggestion, Wu Jiao sold more than 2,000 tickets at half price, and what is even more exciting is that among these die-hard fans who came from all over the United States, 10 lucky fans will be drawn to get the Raptors' season tickets for next season as a gift from Wu Di.

Of course, Wu Di will be the final draw for this lottery ceremony, which is also the most exciting thing for these die-hard fans.

Wu Di's way of giving back to the fans is very good, and, judging from today's fan reaction, Wu Di has completely built the Raptors fans into a team.

On this day, traffic in the city of Toronto increased significantly, and the local viewership of NBA games directly increased by 110.5 percentage points.

As for the situation at the scene of the game, it can only be described as hot.

Although the game had not yet started, the atmosphere in the arena was already boiling hot.

"Toronto. The road to defending the title. First Battle! ”

"MVP = Wu Di = Championship!"

All kinds of slogans were played out by fans in various ways.

And under the sweep of the live camera. You can also see the situation at the scene at this time.

The home team's fans uniformly wear green T-shirts, which is an extremely conspicuous and eye-catching color.

As for why the T-shirts of this color were distributed, Raptors' marketing manager Lancet said that green symbolizes vitality, energy, and enthusiasm that will not fade.

Obviously, Lancet hopes that the Raptors' home fans will bring life and energy to this arena. Boost the enthusiasm of the home team's players.

That expectation seems to have been met when the tournament is actually going to take place.

The players seemed to have endless energy, and in the final preparation stage of the game, they were eager to try.

Wu Di arrived at the stadium quite early today, and he organized the players to have a light intensity team training.

After the end of practice, all the Raptors players including Wu Di gathered in the locker room to chat, and there was a burst of laughter at one point.

After chatting and talking, Collins took everyone to dinner and then took a lunch break.

It really paid off, and the mentality of all the players was noticeably lighter. Even a bunch of guys would always make jokes about Corinth.

Obviously, this relaxed atmosphere is what the Raptors need most these days. After all, they're going to play the Grand Finals, a seven-game series.

A best-of-seven game is all about patience, and a relaxed mindset obviously gives players a very good deal of patience to play, which is what Collins and Wu Di expect most.

And now, in the first game, the players have clearly found that form.

……

Under the wild cheers of the fans, the game finally kicked off.

"This is the NBA Finals in the 06~07 season, here is the stage for all the players' dreams, here is the stage for creating zào greatness, and now, there are two great teams on the road to achieve their dreams.

In such an environment, I think everyone is excited.

It's the best game and when we're in a game like this, there's no limit at all.

Let's let go of our hearts, let go of our hearts, let's go shout, let's welcome our favorite players, and our teams.

They are the great players who created the zào and are going to give us the series that we enjoy the most.

Rejoice, and let's welcome these warriors. ”

The magnetic sound slowly detonated the atmosphere of the arena, and under the flashing magnesium lights, the players of both teams were introduced.

Wu Di was the last player to play, and when he appeared, the whole scene was like an explosion.

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

The frantic shouting made all the spectators understand in their hearts that Wu Di had conquered another stadium.

Wu Di enjoys this shouting from the fans, MVP, this is a supreme honor, and it is also a sound that can bring raw motivation to the players in the game.

Therefore, after hearing such a shout, Wu Di had no reason to remain calm.

And in fact, such shouts are very right.

Wu Di is the MVP, and he is also the MVP of the new department.

If it is said from the table of the playoffs, then Wu Di is more deserving of this honor.

The fans' shouts were difficult to calm down for a long time, which was a slight surprise in Wu Di's heart. Because, in the past two years, he has rarely seen the fans of the Raptors' home team have such passion.

And under such a shout, Wu Di couldn't help but glance at his teammates.

The Raptors' players were full of excitement, and the eager expressions on their faces showed the success of the fans in creating the atmosphere in the opening game.

Although the fans' input made Wu Di slightly excited and surprised.

But Wu Di still dealt with it calmly. Because in his opinion, as long as it is good, it is enough.

The reaction from the fans brought positive sentiment to the scene, but it was not necessarily a good thing for the Lakers playing on the road.

"Hey, is this a bunch of people you bought? If shouting can bring about a victory, then we in Los Angeles will not lose in decades. ”

When a player comes on the field. Kobe Bryant whispered with an unhappy face.

The two men were standing side by side at this time. Hence the talk. Others apparently couldn't hear too clearly.

However, Wu Di heard it very clearly, obviously, Kobe Bryant was alluding to the Raptors just bluffing.

Wu Di was not surprised at all about Kobe Bryant's excitement before the game started, after all, this is the finals, and for the championship, obviously anything can be done.

"Oh? If that were the case, Staples wouldn't have been picked up as many times as 60+. ”

Wu Di had a playful smile on his face. And his meaning has obviously been expressed very clearly.

Kobe Bryant snorted, obviously, Wu Di's words were the most lethal to him, Wu Di cut 60+ tables in Staples 3 times, which is completely the biggest stain on Kobe's career.

Therefore, whenever anyone mentions this, Kobe Bryant is extremely angry.

"It's not going to happen again, and, more importantly, I'm going to take away the win today."

Kobe Bryant chuckled and said with a slight confidence.

When Wu Di heard this, he smiled and said, "You can only take away failure." Because these guys here won't agree to you taking the victory away. ”

Bryant seemed very disdainful, and he laughed strangely: "These fans? These bluffing guys? My God. Spare me. The best fans are in Los Angeles. ”

Such words are absolutely extremely irritating, and even if Wu Di knew that Kobe Bryant was deliberately doing it to provoke him, Wu Di still couldn't help but get angry.

However, Wu Di did not respond to Kobe Bryant verbally, because he felt that sometimes it was the best way to slap his face with practical actions.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Garnett beat Oden to steal the ball for the Lakers.

Fisher advanced with the ball and after passing halfway to Bryant, he gave the ball to Bryant.

Seeing this, Wu Di also understood that Kobe Bryant should play this ball by himself. Because on the Lakers, Kobe Bryant has this habit, that is, he plays the first offense.

"Kobe, I know you think you're coming to attack as a status symbol, but I warn you in advance that this goal is not going to be scored."

Seeing Kobe Bryant advancing with the ball, Wu Di did not forget to say under the side defense.

It was Kevin Garnett who mentioned the high post as a cover for Kobe Bryant in the high post, and in just one season, Garnett has proven that he can fully fit into the triangle offensive system.

However, Wu Di is clear about the focus of the triangle offensive, which is the result of his many studies and understandings.

On the first shot, Bryant took a step forward around the free-throw line extension with the help of Garnett's cover, and then came a close-range shot.

However, what made Kobe Bryant helpless was that Wu Di dodged the block and directly blocked Kobe's shot.

The basketball fell to the floor and was picked up by the Raptors.

"Wu Di's bounce is so good, and his defensive skills are so good, it's a nightmare for all the players.

No one can easily get rid of Wu Di's blockade under this height, and obviously, this time he wanted to be the first Kobe Bryant to eat grapes also failed. ”

Wu Di's defense does not simply rely on his own physical elements, but he is more likely to use his own defensive skills to limit opponents.

After all, if you only know how to rely on your body, then you are afraid that you will be shaken into a jumping man by a feint master like Kobe.

Wu Di's first goal on the success of the defense made the scene excited, and the fans' wild shouts rose again.

In this environment, Wu Di met Kobe's gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a playful smile.

After Wu Di passed the ball to Delong, he stretched out his arms and tried to provoke the fans.

With Wu Di's movements, the shouts of the fans were wave after wave, which made the atmosphere of the scene even more hot.

When passing by Kobe, Wu Di whispered, "Oh, I saw it." That's the best fan. Los Angeles? Forget it. ”

Wu Di This is a naked provocation, and it is also the most direct response to Kobe's previous arrogance.

When Kobe Bryant heard this, his brows tightened, obviously, he was deflated at the hands of his opponent, and he obviously didn't have the capital to shout anymore.

"Oh, Kobe, I don't think you're convinced, so let's experience what the best fans are like."

When Wu Di said this, it was already halfway. And all fans can see that Wu Di has been talking to Kobe, and judging from Kobe's facial expressions, it is obvious that Wu Di's words have stimulated him a lot.

When he saw Wu Di, he suddenly opened his arms and raised them again. The fans immediately understood. It's more cheerful than when Wu Di blocked the hat just now.

"Kobe. These are the best fans, remember them and they will be a nightmare for Los Angeles. ”

Wu Di's voice seemed unquestionable, which made Kobe Bryant extremely unhappy in his heart.

However, Wu Di didn't care about Kobe's gradually gloomy expression, but began to continue the game as if he was fine.

The Raptors' first offense was entirely initiated by DeLong.

Delon used his passing to drive the player's movement, which made the Lakers' defense a little less compact.

When Danny Granger ran to Wu Di's side. Wu Di also suddenly moved.

Wu Di, who was running with legs, immediately caught Kobe's attention, and when Kobe Bryant wanted to follow, he found that he was delayed by Granger.

And it was this delay that brought Wu Di a suitable opportunity to attack.

Wu Di received a pass from the inside and rose to the ground one step behind Granger.

Wu Di's shot was like a sight, and when the three-point shot cleanly crossed the net, there was another crazy shout on the scene.

"Oh, Kobe, I scored.

This time, though, I always felt a little easier. ”

After saying this. Wu Di paused, as if in contemplation, and said:

"Maybe that's the difference between the best defensive player and the first team? Of course. Maybe you shouldn't get it for a while, because those guys for a while are obviously better than you do. ”

Wu Di's voice seemed to be talking to himself, which made Kobe's heart suddenly feel full of anger.

Obviously, Wu Di's words are too rampant, at least in his entire career, he has never seen anyone spray him like this.

"So you think the best defense should be yours? I don't think those guys from ESPN will have a hard time getting it. ”

Kobe Bryant looked at Wu Di angrily.

Wu Di was quite surprised when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard someone say that he should not win his best defensive player.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who was angry, Wu Di smiled playfully: "Do you think this award is suitable for you?" But you really can't get it. ”

Wu Di's words made Kobe Bryant extremely angry, and at this time, Fisher's pass also reached his hands.

I saw that Kobe's tone was very firm, and after dropping a sentence, Kobe directly ignored Wu Di's defense and wanted to rush inside.

"As I said, in front of the best defensive player, you can't score as easily. Wu Di sues you now, that is impossible. ”

Wu Di's steps continued to change with Kobe's movements, but at the same time, Wu Di's mouth did not stop at all.

"Damn it, shut your mouth."

Kobe Bryant's brows were furrowed, and his face was not good.

And after snorting like this, Kobe Bryant chose to attack the inside line very firmly.

When a person is angry, then his intentions can be said to be very obvious, and this time, Kobe Bryant is obviously no exception.

In the excited roar of the fans at the scene, Wu Di easily cut off Kobe's dribble.

And in the blink of an eye, Wu Di hit the backcourt like lightning, and this kind of speed makes people wonder if he did it on purpose.

Wu Di's every move in the process of breaking the ball in this defense can be said to be extremely confident.

Wu Di's speed was beyond the reach of the players on the court, so everyone had to witness Wu Di complete a fast-break dunk.

"It's really surprising that both of the Lakers' offenses ended in failure. Kobe Bryant and Wu Di directly exchanged two attacks, one was broken and the other was impersonated, which is really unexpected.

Obviously, Wu Di is afraid that he wants to show his skills as the best defensive player in front of Kobe. ”

After seeing Wu Di's table at the beginning, the on-site evaluation of Wu Di can also be said to be very high.

Commentators have felt that Wu Di is teaching Kobe Bryant a lesson with defense.

Moreover, anyone can find that in the beginning of this game, Wu Di obviously stimulated Kobe, after all, Kobe's sentence "Damn, shut your mouth" just now was clearly heard by everyone.

However, Kobe Bryant is also the most skilled player among the active players, and he is a super scoring guard in his own right.

Relying on strong strength, Wu Di wants to prevent Kobe Bryant, which is obviously impossible.

In the opening minutes. After Wu Di's suppression of Kobe. Kobe Bryant slowly found his form.

Although Bryant also has wonderful goals from time to time. But it has to be said that Wu Di's defense against him was very successful.

Wu Di tried to use guò trash talk to provoke Kobe to be angry, and as a result, Kobe Bryant did fall for Wu Di's way.

Although Bryant scored 14 points in the entire first quarter, he used 13 shots and hit only 5 shots.

Such efficiency is obviously insufficient, and it is also explained from a certain process. Wu Di's goal of letting Kobe Bryant hold the ball too much was achieved.

In the first quarter of the game, Wu Di made 4 of 6 and contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

After the appearance of such a table, Wu Di has completely become synonymous with both offense and defense.

You know, such a table is also quite qualified when placed on a starting guard. However, Wu Di only used up one quarter of the game, which can be said to be incredible.

Judging by the course of the game. Wu Di's contribution rate at both ends of the court is very high, and he drives the team's offensive and defensive ends......

Apparently. Without Wu Di, it's hard to imagine what the Raptors would be able to play.

Under Wu Di's efficient table, the Raptors were able to lead the Lakers by 9 points at 29:20 in the first quarter.

……

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was obviously much more sensible.

And when he's on the field, it's clear that he's starting to pay attention to the connection with his teammates.

"As long as Kobe Bryant is willing to pass the ball, then the chances of the Lakers winning are very high."

After Bryant assisted Terry's outside jumper, the commentators at the scene couldn't help but comment on Kobe's table.

Obviously, everyone can understand that Kobe Bryant is willing to pass the ball, obviously for the sake of the overall situation of the game.

After all, this is the finals, and it's about the championship and the results of a year's hard work, not to mention a game, even a minute can't be squandered.

Under the arrangement of the Zen master, in the second quarter of the game, the Lakers began to focus more on the flanks and inside, which has always been the habitual style of play of the Lakers.

Kevin Garnett's efficiency against Milicic and Oden has been greatly reduced, which seems to have left the Lakers with no hope of winning.

However, Terry's nerve knife stepped up in the second quarter. Throughout the second quarter, Terry hit three three-pointers and contributed 12 points, helping Kobe Bryant relieve a lot of pressure on the offensive end.

By the end of the half, the Lakers had narrowed the gap to four points.

……

Wu Di sat in the locker room, and when he looked up at the big screen hanging on the wall, the score of 53:49 was impressive.

"The Lakers don't seem to be that easy to do."

Wu Di's voice seemed to be talking to himself, and it reached everyone's ears.

But Chadron smiled and said: "Wu, this is obviously not a matter of worry, as long as we choose the right defense, then there is no need to worry about victory at all."

And, judging from the first half of the game, Kevin Garnett and Peja didn't feel very good, and if there are only two Iron Kings, Kobe and Terry, I think we just need to keep a little pressure on them at all times.

I think as long as we keep working hard, then winning is a matter of course. ”

When Wu Di heard this, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart, he didn't know when he didn't have Delong's mentality.

……

When Wu Di was determined to pay attention to patiently compete with the Lakers, every round of the Raptors seemed to be more reassuring, and the hope of winning was obviously much greater.

The heat created by the Raptors' home fans has never subsided, and this has kept Wu Di and his passion alive.

In the third quarter, both sides sent substitutes to play for a short period of time, and this was obviously done to save a little body for the main players.

I have to say that there are too many physical confrontations in the finals, and every offense and defense consumes a lot of physical energy on the players.

And playing in this case, the efficiency is obviously much worse.

Although the Raptors' bench players played well after coming on the court, the final single-quarter score was still not so high, after all, the efficiency of the two sides was not high.

After three quarters, the Raptors led the Lakers by five points at 73-68, which clearly laid the groundwork for the final quarter.

Wu Di rested for about half a quarter in the third quarter, and his fitness can be said to be well maintained.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive game, as soon as the game began, Wu Di began to shoulder the burden of offense and defense, and led the Raptors to sing all the way, and under the big kill, the Raptors established a 12-point lead after the half-quarter game.

In the second half of the game, Wu Di once again staged a personal performance that made the opponent weak, three three-pointers, plus other scores, Wu Di contributed 14 points in the second half of the game.

Under Wu Di's magical performance, the Raptors finally won the first game of the finals.

It was a very gratifying and thrilling result for the home fans.

Wu Di contributed 38 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks in this game.

And Kobe, who was opposite Wu Di, although he also contributed 31 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, but in terms of shooting, he only had a pitiful 9 of 28. (To be continued......)
