Chapter 5098: Extremely nervous Vlad Divac
The Houston Rockets and New York Knicks players couldn't help but feel a little nervous as they felt the attention of countless cameras and cameras around them.
Although the vast majority of the players on these two teams have played in the finals and won championships.
But this time the championship battle seems to have attracted more attention.
The number of cameras and cameras alone is much higher than the number in the previous finals.
"Don't be nervous, take it easy."
Da Yao looked at Vlad Divac, who was a little nervous beside him, and said.
In the New York Knicks, the most nervous people right now are not the youngsters.
It's the veteran Vlad Divac.
In order to win a championship, he gave up a lot to come to the New York Knicks.
It's different from other veterans who take a pay cut in order to join a team that has the quality to win a championship.
Those veterans, like Vlad Divac, have good quality and can play a very important role on the court.
But the teams they join that have the quality to win the championship does not mean that they must be joined to have a chance to compete for the championship.
So, a group like this or a veteran who joins with a base salary for the championship.
It will make many fans a little disdainful of this.
But Vlad Divac is different.
He came to the New York Knicks, not to add to the icing on the cake.
When he joined the New York Knicks, Zach Randolph had just left.
In contrast, Zach Randolph is younger and more impactful than him.
Strength naturally goes without saying.
He has now become one of the best interior stars in the league.
It's just a pity that the team he is on now does not have the strength to compete for the championship.
So this season in the playoffs, Zach Randolph is not as famous as last season.
But it is undeniable that the departure of Zach Randolph has greatly weakened the interior strength of the New York Knicks!
Vlad Divac, a veteran, is here to replace Zach Randolph.
Judging by the strength comparison of the two men, Vlad Divac is not as strong as Zach Randolph.
The most important point is that he is not as young as Zach Randolph!
It's time to retire after a few years of playing.
Therefore, Vlad Divac's arrival with the New York Knicks is not the icing on the cake.
It's a normal transfer operation to strengthen the roster for the New York Knicks.
Moreover, the owner of the New York Knicks is James Dolan!
Even now Vlad Divac's salary is not as high as it used to be.
But in this league, his salary level is definitely not low!
It is very different from those veterans who directly cut their salaries and lowered their salaries to join for the championship.
As a result, not many fans will find it inappropriate for Vlad Divac to join the New York Knicks.
However, fans don't think so.
Vlad Divac himself thinks a lot.
He gave up the position of the main starter, and in the tacit understanding of his career, he took a salary cut to come to the New York Knicks.
If you still can't win the championship.
Then there will always be regrets in my career, deep regrets!
Of course, when he first joined the New York Knicks, although he heard Han Ning say that he would win the championship he dreamed of in his first year.
But in fact, Vlad Divac didn't completely believe what Han Ning said in his heart.
There are too many strong teams in this league.
Although the New York Knicks won the championship last year.
It doesn't mean they can defend their championship this year.
Why is the establishment of a dynasty so exciting?!
To be able to win the championship three years in a row is a miracle feat in itself!
In Vlad Divac's heart, the contract he signed with the New York Knicks for several years, as long as one of those years can win the championship, he is worth the trip.
But he really didn't think of it.
In his first season after joining the New York Knicks, he really stood on the stage of the finals!
And also entered the tiebreaker with the Houston Rockets!
Just this one today!
If he wins, he can get the championship of his dreams!
It doesn't matter how old Vlad Divac is, how many years he has played in this league, how much experience he has!
On weekdays, how calm the personality is!
At this time, I still can't help but get nervous.
The older people get, the closer they stand to making their dreams come true, the more nervous and excited they will be.
Because they knew that this would be their only remaining opportunity!
After hearing Da Yao's voice, Vlad Divac turned his head to look at Da Yao.
His eyes were full of envy.
The man next to him, although very young, has only been in the NBA for three seasons.
But he has already won two championships, and there is still a chance to win a third championship!
Three years in the NBA, three championships!
Vlad Divac doesn't know if this is unique in the history of the NBA.
But he knew it in his heart.
He's going crazy with envy!
If he had just entered the NBA, he would have been able to meet Han Ning, maybe the title of the league's active No. 1 interior player would have been ringing on him for seven or eight years.
However, Vlad Divac also knows that Da Yao wants to help him relax his mind.
Vlad Divac buried this envy deep in his heart, pulled out a smile, and said softly: "Don't worry! I'll get my mindset right! ”
At this point, Vlad Divac will never allow this game to be lost due to his unstable mentality.
He will never allow himself to mess up this game!
While warming up, Vlad Divac adjusted his mentality.
Slowly changed from nervousness to calm.
From calm, it slowly changed to excitement and excitement.
This race is the closest he can get to the championship!
He's got to get this game right! Win the championship!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Vlad Divac became.
The feeling is starting to heat up, too.
Finally, the whistle blew.
Players from both teams returned to their benches and the warm-up was over.
The DJ began to chant the names of the Houston Rockets' starters.
This small pre-game ceremony is not much of a concern on weekdays.
But in today's competition, it is highly anticipated.
After the names of the starters of the two teams rang out one by one with the cheers of the fans at the scene, the game finally officially began!
