The madness of Orlando on May 8 spread from the center of the water house again, and the Chicago Bulls, who had sworn to work together before the game, once again challenged the Orlando Magic at home.
Carolina. Kokuva was the center of attention before the opening ceremony, as she had to shoot the cover and some photo images of Shijie's most famous magazine, Vogue, in front of the crowd of more than 10,000 people in the center of the water house.
In the United States, Vogue is known as the "fashion bible", and Vogue, founded in 1892, is one of the most important magazine brands on shijie and is recognized as the most leading fashion magazine in the whole shijie.
Vogue magazine features shijie women's fashion, including beauty, clothing, apparel, jewelry, health, bodybuilding, travel, art, hospitality, celebrity anecdotes and entertainment.
This time, Carolina will shoot the cover of Vogue America for June, and she will be shot by the most famous photographer today, known as the "living legend" Anne. Annie Leibovitz.
Unlike most photographers, her approach to photography comes more from life, her style is very unique, and she can always capture the most real moments of people, which is very different from other photographers. Most photographers will throw the model into the story they have set up for a long time, and then express the concept they want, although beautiful but unreal, the public knows the photographer's message and not from the protagonist.
And she chose to shoot Carolina in the center of the water house in order to see the most real Carolina, and the shooting location was set up on the field in the center of the water house an hour before the game. Lebovitz was not very satisfied after shooting a few sets. Even if everyone thinks that Carolina in the shot is good enough, they can choose one of them to be the cover of the June issue.
But Anne, who has a prominent personality, resolutely did not agree. This leads directly to the need for warm-up time than both sides.
"Annie. The competition is about to start, so we need to end the shoot for a while, but I think every image in it is good enough that my vision will not tell me the wrong message. "Anne. Lepovitz's assistant Jessica. Vivien said, "No, no. "Anne. Lebovitz categorically disagreed.
Even Carolina was in a hurry, she didn't want to affect the game because of her work needs, and she knew that Annie. Lebovitz has a unique personality. In case of offending Anne. Lepovitz wasn't easy either, so she wondered how she could persuade Anne. Lebovitz.
Dressed in Adidas pink sports women's clothing, Carolina with her blonde hair curled up at the back of her head walked to Anne. Lebovitz in front of him.
"Annie, if we wait until we are satisfied, I believe you will be able to shoot the best." Carolina said softly.
Anne in front of her. Lebovitz frowned, his eyes looking at the crowd in the audience and thinking about something.
Caesar, the managing manager of the Water House Center. Rhodes also came over and was able to get Anne. Lebovitz was easy to shoot here, but the problem was that the normal team wouldn't agree to it at this time when the game was about to start, but it was because of Carolina's relationship with Linson that they agreed to do so. But now that the game was going to start, they had to get the shooting done.
At this time, the players from both sides walked out of the players' tunnel to prepare for warm-up training, Lin Sen looked at the field in surprise, he thought the shooting was over. I didn't expect it to be called a day, Caesar, the manager of the Water House Center. Rod still looked embarrassed.
"I'll go take a look." Lin Sen said to Howard, then handed the ball in his hand to Howard and walked over.
"There it is!" Anne, who had been frowning and thinking. Lebovitz suddenly shouted, snapping his fingers at the same time, and the sudden action startled the people around him.
Jessica. Vivien was about to ask what was going on when Anne. Lebovitz rushed at Caesar. "Now we're going to get rid of the equipment on the field, but I need you to help me get a place," Rhodes said. ”
Hearing this, Caesar. Rod was naturally pleased: "It's okay, you say." ”
"I need you to help me arrange the two places on the opposite side of the court and the bottom line for me to use for shooting, I need to shoot KK's expression during the game, but I don't need so much equipment, just arrange my place."
"It's ......" Jessica. Vivien had just uttered "How can this work?" Immediately remembered Anne. Lebovitz once went to the battlefield to work as a reporter, and the battlefield did not have other equipment at most a camera.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, now ......"
"We immediately cleaned up and bothered." Jessica. Vivien immediately instructed the staff to pack up their equipment.
"Wood. Lin: Right? "Anne. Lebovitz smiled and held out his hand, "My 8-year-old grandson is a big fan of yours, and he's always told me to be an NBA superstar like you." ”
"Really? That's really my honor and I hope he can accomplish his dream. Lin Sen said with a smile and stretched out his hand to Anne. Lebovitz shook each other.
"Sister KK, are you okay?" Lin Sen asked in a low voice.
Carolina didn't know Anne either. What Lebovitz thought: "It should be fine. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to shoot the most haodeKK and won't let you down." Annie. Lepovitz said with a smile, she had worked with Carolina twice before, and this was the third time, but before that, she still had some knowledge of Carolina's situation in the past year, and naturally knew the relationship between Lin Sen and Carolina.
"KK, you don't need to pay attention to anything, just like I don't exist, you just have to watch the game from the sidelines like you normally would, and trust me, I can find that cover in the next two and a half hours." Annie. Lebowitz said confidently.
"No problem." Carolina vs. Anne. Lebovitz has no doubts about his abilities.
"Then I'll go first." Lin Sen finished speaking and was about to leave, Anne. Lebovitz stopped him.
"Wood. Lin, if possible I will shoot you in the game. If I'm satisfied, can I talk to you about using it where I think it can be used? For example, a magazine like VOGUE. ”
“VOGUE? Are you sure it's not a joke? "Lin Sen has shot a lot of magazine covers. In the past, there were sports magazines like Sports Illustrated, Basket Shijie, and top magazines like Men'sHealth and GQ.
GQ is also one of the top fashion magazines on shijie, but without exception these magazines are more oriented towards men, while VOGUE is a women's magazine and if he remembers correctly, this magazine has always been women's figures.
"SURE, I'm not kidding, but only if I can find a picture I'm happy with, but I'm feeling good right now, so say it in advance." Annie. Lebovitz nodded.
"Well, if that's true. That's my pleasure. ”
After Lin Sen left, the staff also took away the camera equipment on the field, and Lin Sen did not say anything to Anne. Lebovitz took what he said too seriously, after all, he had not heard of the more than 100-year-old Vogue news that used men as magazine content.
Thirty minutes later, the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls officially began, and the Orlando Magic at home took the lead.
After the opening monster jumped the ball, Lin Sen did not advance directly and quickly after receiving the ball, but stayed a little in front of the middle line.
When Howard entered the three-point line, Linson directly pushed the ball out of his hand, and Howard, who was originally average, accelerated directly when the ball left Linsen's palm.
Ben was following him. Wallace couldn't react at all, and by the time Wallace did, Howard had already jumped.
Syllable!
The basket made a loud noise, and Howard hung himself on top of the basket.
"Oh, it started with an aerial relay, did Wood and Dwight get addicted to the aerial relay?" Kenny, who continues to serve as half-time commentator. Smith said with a smile.
Off the pitch, Skeles was depressed. Before the game, he had deliberately emphasized paying attention to the aerial relay between Linsen and Howard, but he didn't expect to be hit by Linsen and Howard just at the beginning.
Annie. Lepovitz was on the sidelines of the halfcourt across the Magic bench. A seat was added here, but instead of sitting on it, she squatted, which not only made Jessica . Vivien worries about Anne, who is in her sixties. Lebovitz couldn't take it.
The process of the game was somewhat out of the control of the Chicago Bulls, Linson reduced his singles and used more pick-and-roll, between the last game and the beginning of this game, Skyles strengthened his defense against Howard instead of letting Howardra go out, but this situation directly caused Linson to calmly rush to the basket with the help of cover.
"Wood again with the help of cover, Lore. Deng Bufang. "Kenny. Smith shouted.
In Kenny. In Smith's words, Lin Sen directly turned his head and threw the ball directly to the weak side with his right hand, and the ball left Lin Sen's palm and went straight to the bottom corner of the three-point line.
The Bulls are rotating defense at the moment trying to put Lore in the run. Deng made up for Lin Sen's defensive hole, but Lin Sen seemed to have eyes everywhere and saw Tekoglu in the bottom corner of the other side.
Tekoglou received the ball and made a direct three-point shot, and the ball crossed an arc in the air and steadily drilled into the basket.
"Heeder hit another three-pointer, and at this moment, just seven minutes before the game started, Orlando has increased his score to 30 points in a single quarter, which is a terrifying scoring efficiency." Kenny. Smith lamented.
"Orlando had a really good hand tonight, they've only conceded three shots so far, and it was the Turk's fourth three-pointer of the first quarter and Wood's sixth assist." Barkley continued.
This shot is also a portrayal of the Magic's first-quarter play, and Lore. Deng or Nocchioni can make up the defense in time, and Linsen can also divide the ball in time.
The Chicago Bulls scored 30 points on 11-of-21 shooting in the first quarter with a high shooting percentage of over 50 percent, but the Orlando Magic forced a 70 percent shooting on 17-of-24 shooting.
In the first quarter, the Magic scored a super high score of 45 points, which not only set the Magic playoff single-quarter scoring record but also tied the record for the highest score in the first quarter in NBA playoff history, and the previous 45 points were held by the Los Angeles Lakers led by Magic Johnson against the Phoenix Suns on April 18, 1985 and the Dallas Mavericks against the Los Angeles Lakers on May 4, 1986.
"It's terrifying, who can beat such an Orlando." Kenny. Smith lamented.
"Kenny, aren't you talking nonsense? Who can beat Orlando in such a state, their hands are hot and you are cooked. Barkley said disdainfully.
Skels looked at the 45:30 score on the big screen and cried a little, but fortunately it was only a 15-point difference, and he didn't believe that the Magic could maintain such offensive efficiency, but the first quarter of the game forced him to think carefully about how to defend Linson.
It was Linsen's breakthrough ball that gave the Magic so many opportunities, of course, the Magic's hot hand was also the main reason, but in the final analysis, it was Linsen's leading role.
The fans at the Water House Center were very excited, the team played as smoothly as a cloud and pleasing to the eye while pressing the Bulls, how could they not be excited about such a game.
"It's a shame Michael wasn't on the sidelines tonight, otherwise I'd love to know what he thinks, because he hates me right now." Barkley said with a smile.
"Hate you?" Kenny. Smith asked, turning his head.
"Of course, because when I met him, I would always ask him if he didn't choose Wood, and I told him that if I chose Wood, Charlotte would be a playoff team now."
Kenny. Smith glared at Barkley: "If I were Michael, I would break up friends like you." ”
"But you're not MJ." Barkley had a look on his face that you can't do anything to me.
The Magic's hot hand cooled down in the second quarter, but they still shot 12-of-23 in the second quarter, and even if the Chicago Bulls hit a good 10-of-21 shooting in the second quarter, they couldn't catch up with the score.
The Orlando Magic scored 79 points at the end of the first half, far from the San Antonio Spurs as well; The Los Angeles Lakers set an NBA playoff halftime scoring record of 82 points, just three points away from being in second place.
Although the Chicago Bulls also scored 58 points at halftime, they trailed the Magic by as many as 24 points at halftime, although such a point difference did not make the Bulls completely desperate, but once they could not chase the difference to within 20 points in the third quarter, then the suspense of the game was basically over.
It is understandable that it will be difficult to return to Chicago with a 0:2 return to qualify, after all, not every team is the Utah Jazz.
Compared to the happy expressions on the faces of the Magic players, the faces of the Bulls players looked depressed. (To be continued......)
