Chapter 293: The Coincidence of Buying Tickets and Buying Together
Winning the game is undoubtedly a beautiful thing for the Chicagoans, and it is not an unacceptable thing for Orlando, after all, the Magic are the leader.
But the use of foul tactics in the game was undoubtedly off-putting to onlookers, especially in the fourth quarter. Van Gundy also attacked Ben Gundy after the Bulls' Milicic deliberately fouled him. Wallace practiced foul play, and such a slash scene is rare in the entire history of the NBA.
The evaluation of this game after the game can be imagined, completely overshadowing the former super parallel Dakko who continued to perform well in this game, sending 21 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks and 4 assists. Milicic.
"I just want to tell them that we're not going to do it, that's how I did it in the game, and I still say that the league has to make some adjustments again and you can't just let the game go like that." Post-match press conference at Stan. Van Gundy said.
And sitting not far away was Scott. With a smile on his face, it was clear that winning the first home game put him in a good mood: "Stan is right, but I don't think it's anything, I also say that, this is part of the charm of basketball, this is the charm of coaching off the court, of course, if the league makes any adjustments, I will consider accepting it, I think the league is not a one-man league, not a league of one team, fairness and justice are the minimum criteria, even if there is reform, I think I will respect the opinions of most people." ”
Stan. Van Gundy's words are exactly what David said. What Stern considered was that he had some objections to the overuse of foul tactics, but in the past, foul tactics were more aimed at O'Neal, and most people, except for O'Neal's fans, still enjoyed watching O'Neal being cut to the free-throw line. Although that would slow down the pace of the game.
But nowadays, deliberate foul tactics are being used more and more. And the game between the Bulls and the Magic directly put this tactic into normal tactics. The dismantling of the game by fouls greatly affects the perception.
Especially the second game of the Magic and the Bulls made David. Stern was annoyed, and this game was even more than that.
"I feel like we need to put some restrictions in place." David. Stern's fingers tapped on the desk in his office.
"But that will lead to more opposition." Vice President Stu. Jackson spoke his mind.
David. Stern looked at the computer screen, which was full of comments from American netizens about the Bulls and the Magic game, and most of them were reprimands.
"I know, but there have to be some limitations, such as intentional foul tactics that are only allowed for five minutes in the fourth quarter, and Zuihou is still only allowed to foul the ball carrier for two minutes, or just the ball handler."
"Only fouls on the ball carrier? I don't think most teams will use this tactic. In fact, sometimes fans still don't reject deliberately fouling and going to the free throw line, just don't overdo it, and the first one is actually quite haode. ”
"Really? I think the first one is also very good, but it is necessary to let the analyst analyze it specifically and strive for the most ideal time frame. "David. Stern said as he pushed his glasses with his hand.
"Then you go down first."
Stu. Jackson took David with him. Stern's Office Door, David. Stern turned his chair to the computer screen, and with a few clicks of the mouse, the screen was the ideal matchup in his mind.
The Eastern Conference Finals are between the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The second day of the game was still full of comments, and most of the fans were reprimanded. Van Gundy's words have also been recognized by many coaches.
"A disgusting tactic is like stealing our victory? I guess it's like the words of a mentally unhealthy person who has 100 percent confidence in kicking Chicago to the Great Lakes for fishing. This is the official Twitter message of the Orlando Sentinel.
The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times then launched a Twitter counterattack. The two sides engaged in a war of words on Twitter and in their respective newspapers.
The Orlando Sentinel had just run out 10 reasons why the Magic would win, and the Chicago Tribune was launching a feature on how the Bulls could lose.
On this day, the league officially announced the Rookie All-Rookie Team. The NBA Rookie of the Year Team is voted on by the head coaches of all 30 teams around the league.
Regardless of the player's position on the pitch, each manager is required to select five players for the first team and five players for the second team. Each player selected to the first team will receive two points and the second team will receive one point, although coaches cannot vote for players on their own team.
Eventually Linson and Brandon. Roy both received a unanimous vote of 58 points, and although the handsome Italian Bargnani of the champion Lang was far inferior to Linson's sixth and Roy's seventh pick, he was also recognized by the coaches and finally scored 57 points to rank third.
Rudy, who was selected by the Rockets to send to the Grizzlies. Gay scored 39 points to rank fourth, and the Raptors' older rookie Gabajosa was recognized for his good performance in his first season in the NBA. Roy's teammate Aldridge is tied with 37 points, and with Gabajosa and Aldridge equal, the 2006-2007 rookie first team consists of six players: Linson, Roy, Gay, Gabayosa, Aldridge and Bagnani.
There are three people in the second team who have the same score, which directly leads to the number of rookie second team reaching 7.
With the release of the Rookie All-Rookie Team, only the two most important awards of the regular season MVP and the All-Season Team have not been announced.
It also indicates that these two awards that have been postponed from the original are also about to be announced, the regular season MVP is scheduled to be announced on the 16th, and the regular season best team will be announced on the 13th, that is, on the day of the fourth game between the Bulls and the Magic.
On May 12, the Magic practiced in the morning, and both Howard and Milicic walked to the free-throw line in Ruth. Edison's bar helped practice free throws, and Linson also received a meal from Ruth. Edison's email to him, but during the morning training, Ruth. Edison gave Lin Sen another copy of the printed haode materials.
And before that, Lin Sen also and David. Falck briefly communicated. David. Falck's attitude is that money is not an issue. The question is whether it's worth the investment or not. That's all that matters.
David. Falck will fund an analysis by Goldman Sachs to make a feasibility report, and once the report is out, it is indeed recommended to make an acquisition. Falck will persuade Linson to make a takeover as for the shortage of funds David. Falke didn't worry at all, he believed that there would be many people who would be willing to send money to Lin Sen.
On this night back home Cleveland Cavaliers at LeBron. James led the way to 88-82 to pull the Pistons to tie the overall score at 1-2.
The brightest player of the game was undoubtedly the Emperor James Jr., who scored 32 points and dished out nine assists and nine rebounds, compared to his 29 points in the first two games combined.
However, the process of the game allowed many James blacks to find a place to criticize, and James was not blown away twice in the game.
One of them was with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. At this time, the Cavaliers only led the Pistons by one point, and James's crab step goal was not blown away, which directly made the roaring Tianzun Rashid. Wallace was very dissatisfied, and the complaining roar Tianzun was expelled from the game by blowing two jishu fouls in a row.
Although the Pistons bit the score under the leadership of Billups, they still lost the game in the end, and not only the two free throws caused controversy, but James was able to score 32 points in the whole game for a big reason, he got a whopping 19 free throws, while the Pistons only made 25 free throws as a team.
"I didn't know we were going to lose, I knew this was a quick loan center, this was Cleveland, but it shouldn't be a reason for us to lose. I think you all know what I'm trying to say. Pistons head coach Sanders said euphemistically after the game.
Compared to Sanders's euphemism, he roared at Rashid. Wallace wouldn't be like that: "I just told a few truths and was sent off. Maybe next time I'll put duct tape on my mouth, in which case I'll probably keep my mouth in check, and anyone with eyes can see that it's not the Cavaliers but the referees that we're losing. ”
The controversy over the Pistons-Cavaliers game suddenly took away the influence of the upcoming fourth game between the Bulls and the Magic, just when a self-proclaimed omniscient man tweeted that he knew about David. Stern's real idea, and that idea was a major reason for the Pistons' loss, was to make two of the most appealing Eastern Conference players, the Emperor James Jr. and Rookie Wood. Lin will be in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The gossip became a hot topic of conversation, and Chicago fans began to worry that they would lose to the referees like Detroit, even if Game 4 was their home stadium.
And many people also admit that such an Eastern Conference Finals match will greatly drive the ratings, and it is likely to set a ratings record in recent years.
The Magic didn't care much about the grapevine, but were seriously preparing for the game, and there was a lot of pressure on Milicic and Howard. Van Gundy would love to put Milicic and Howard on the court to try out a two-tower lineup.
Although he had done this before, how could Milicic at that time compare with what he is now, but when he thought of Scott. Skels' disgusting tactic, Van Gundy, reluctantly put Milicic on the bench.
However, Milicic did not have any dissatisfaction, but gladly accepted the team's arrangement.
"Darko, how can you agree to play as a substitute, now is the time for you to be in good shape, and Weishenme wants to compromise." On the other end of the phone was Milicic's agent, Mark Murphy. Connstein's voice.
He only learned about Milicic's substitution through the media. Van Gundy announced the team's starting lineup half a day in advance. Konstein learned that Milicic would be on the bench in tonight's pivotal fourth.
He only knows that Milicic is in excellent form now, and it is the first time in his career that he has performed so well for two consecutive games. Konstein was worried that Milicic was just a flash in the pan, so he desperately hoped that Milicic would strike while the iron was hot, so he could ask for a higher increase, so he immediately called Milicic after hearing the news.
Milicic was not at all interested in Kontenstein's advice: "I obeyed the team's arrangements and I didn't think there was anything wrong with the substitutes......
"Darko, go to TM's team arrangement, what you need now is playing time is shooting is pretty stats. Everything else should be rolled aside. Now you're in great form, and you're going to be a substitute. I have a feeling that your form is going to continue, so you should go for the start and even show the uniform team in Orlando that you're no worse than Dwight. ”
Milicic listened quietly and did not speak, but his heart had already been given to Mark. Connstein marked the end, even though Mark . . . Connstein put him with the second pick, even if Connstein played a role in his trade to the Magic.
"I know, I'll talk about it later." Not waiting for Mark. As Connstein spoke, Milicic hung up the phone.
"Darko. What's wrong? Lin Sen, who had just come out of the bathroom, looked at Milicic who was thinking about something with his head down, and said, Lin Sen thought that Milicic was depressed because he couldn't take the lead at night.
"Will David take a fancy to me?"
"David? Who? Whether the person is good or not, if you like it, then boldly chase it. Lin Sen sat next to Milicic, who was a little introverted, and Lin Sen wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer to Milicic.
Lin Sen's words, Milicic almost fell to the ground: "David is not a woman, he is your agent, I want to change the agent." ”
Hearing Milicic's explanation, Lin Sen had a black line, but Lin Sen quickly recovered.
"How can you not look at it, if you are willing to choose him, he will definitely be excited. I'll call him right now. Lin Sen walked to his wardrobe and took out his mobile phone and immediately gave it to David. Falck explained the situation.
David. Falke didn't expect Milicic to choose him, and agreed to sign without saying a word.
And Mark. At the moment, Connstein is still wondering how he can get Milicic to get a bigger contract. Then he can be more famous and earn more.
"Mark, this is the end of our contract."
Connstein suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and it was only when Milicic re-emphasized that Connstein confirmed Milicic's thoughts.
Konstein, who terminated the contract with Milicic, immediately broke the news to reporters that Milicic had just played two good games, started playing big cards, and kicked out the person who held him with one hand.
The Chicago media liked it, and they wished the magic was a little more chaotic.
Milicic didn't explain too much and threw himself into the game that started a few hours later.
With an hour to go before the game, Huang Wei, the head of the Orlando Chinese American fan group, was heading to the United Center with a team of nearly 600 people.
In the last game, he couldn't come to organize fans to cheer on because of work, but he had already booked tickets for this game and organized about 50 Chinese fans in Orlando to fly to Chicago to cheer for the Magic.
At the same time, Huang Wei also contacted local international students and Chinese groups in Chicago, and pulled more than 500 people to the United Center to cheer.
As nearly 600 people got off the bus, one of the people in the line shouted, "Carolina has arrived at Chicago International Airport, YES, that's good news." ”
"It's really good news, she wasn't there in the last game, although Linson had a good performance of 28 points and 8 assists, but it always felt like something was missing, and I think Carolina must be an important reason." Someone in the team immediately chimed in.
"It's almost half an hour from the airport here, so I'm sure I'll be in time."
"God, Orlando will win tonight." Another fan shouted excitedly.
"Of course."
"No, no, no, it's Lin Sen's goddess of victory." The fan explained.
Goddess of Victory?
Some people didn't react for a moment, but many quickly remembered who the person with the title was.
"Adriana. Is Lima coming? Yes, she's a true goddess of victory, and she has never lost the game she cheered for Linson, and tonight Chicago is dead. ”
"Yes, the bulls will definitely be slaughtered by us, haha, it's really time to come tonight, we want to win, we want to advance."
"Lin Sen's performance tonight must be eye-catching, he never disappoints your woman, he is our pride."
……
Voices of excitement rang out in the fan community, and as the fans said, Carolina arrived at the United Center half an hour later, the last time she didn't make it because she had traveled to London to attend a fashion brand's launch.
The Magic lost the game to make her very depressed, and as soon as the event was over, she turned off the entertainment and immediately flew directly from London to Chicago, and even came directly to the United Center without even jet lag.
She didn't know Adriana either. Lima arrived at the scene after a job in New York, and shortly after she sat down, the sound of her high heels hitting the floor came into her ears from behind her.
The rhythm of tapping on the floor was very familiar to her, and when she subconsciously turned around, she immediately saw Adriana walking down. Lima.
Even more coincidentally, Lima's seat was next to her, which made everyone very excited.
Everyone knows that Lima and Carolina, who were once close, are now not as close as they used to be, although the two have always claimed to be friends, but what about the reality?
The last time the two appeared together, although on the day of the Magic's away game against the New Jersey Nets not long ago, Lima and Carolina went shopping together after the game, but at that time it was not just the two of them, and the reporter did not find that the relationship between the two had returned to the way it was at the beginning.
The on-site director captured the expressions of the two people for the first time, and both of them looked at each other in amazement, obviously not expecting to buy tickets together.
The expressions of the two undoubtedly excited the Chicago fans, who wished that Lima and Carolina were arguing on the sidelines and affecting the mood of Linson's rookie and directly causing the Magic to lose. (To be continued......)
