"Win! We won! ”

All the players on the bench, including McMillan and the assistant coaches, cheered, waved towels and rushed onto the field to hug everyone.

Payton was so excited that although he knew that this was only G1, winning this G1 victory on the Wizards' home court in the first game was too important for the SuperSonics and even for the entire Finals.

We can win, we can win! Sure to win!

Peyton felt tears gushing out of her eyes at this moment.

It's been eight years...... Eight years! How many eight years are there in life?

After losing to that old rascal in the 96 Finals, that series haunted him like a nightmare, and he kept appearing in his nightmares.

He always fantasized again and again, fantasizing that one day he could pull off the old rascal's glossy coat and pull him off the throne, but in the past eight years, from the old guy's glory to retirement, retirement to comeback, he has never had that opportunity again.

His own existence, as if it was just to set off that old guy, is not only the background board of that guy, but also just a passerby in that guy's glory, and he can't even be called a real opponent of fate.

God knows what the unscrupulous journalists are enduring when they use a failure to tout the nickname of the glove.

It seems that it is already his supreme glory to be able to make that man look at him, really, what a fuck!

All of this is only understood by McMillan, who is also a teammate and even experienced the same round of the series.

The two old men hugged and wept, but McMillan patted him on the head, in fact, he couldn't hold back his tears: "It's only G1!" Excited, let's win three more games! ”

"Fuck it three!" Peyton cried and laughed: "Lao Tzu wants to win thirty games!" ”

"300 is no problem!"

The two old men laughed again.

The rest of the youngsters are jumping and jumping, releasing all the pressure they were under before this round of finals.

The reporters and camera lenses next to him all converged, presenting every smiling face and every cheer in front of all the audience.

"Hahaha! Glove Boss, don't cry there, get up! ”

"Cry you MB, Fakes, is Lao Tzu like a man who can cry? Also, don't call Lao Tzu gloves, please call Lao Tzu's new nickname: God Butcher! ”

"God Butcher! God Butcher! God Butcher! ”

"Hey, up, hey! Forest! Forest! Forest! ”

"Don't forget Sakuragi, this kid is really awesome!"

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you heard Lin say that? Super cool means! ”

"Oh, hahaha, an oriental word with mystical powers! Awesome! Awesome! Sakuragi is awesome! ”

Iguodala and other newcomers were giggling and pulling Sakuragi, and the camera was also aimed at Sakuragi Hanamichi at this time, only to see that the 19-year-old guy was already crying and laughing at this time.

Calm? Steady?

That's the game, and when the game is over, you need to release it to the fullest.

Seeing the camera pointed at him, he laughed excitedly and shed tears at the same time, then pulled Iguodala and the others away, leaned his face towards the camera lens carried by the reporter, and shouted frantically in Japanese into the camera: "Daddy! Daddy, did you see that? I promise you, championship ring, I'll get it! Desperately will, it's yours! ”

And at this moment, distant Japan.

In that villa, Coach Anthy laughed heartily, and before he knew it, his eyes were moist.

At this moment, Sakuragi thought of him.

What could be more rewarding?

"This kid really likes you." Keiko next to her also laughed, she knew how much her husband had paid for that child.

Money is only the most secondary, that's really nothing.

But her husband's physical condition is no longer enough to support him to pursue basketball again, even if it is a coach.

According to the doctor, he had to recuperate, and he didn't need to work at all.

But for the sake of those two children, he not only began to coach seriously, took the two children to run around the world, but also gave up his life to accompany one of them to climb Mount Fuji, and even agreed to join the Japanese Basketball Association.

It's not for fame, it's not for profit, it's just for those two children.

This has made her husband's physical condition deteriorate in the past two years, and this time in the finals, he wanted to go to the United States, but was forcibly stopped by Keiko, and he is really not suitable for running around anymore.

Frankly speaking, Keiko used to disagree with her husband's choices, and even didn't like the two children very much because of this.

Nothing is more important than her husband's health, but at this moment, when she saw the child crying on the TV screen, expressing her love and gratitude to her husband in front of the cameras of the world, Keiko suddenly understood.

"We don't have any children anyway, so when Sakuragi returns to Japan, let's take him as a righteous son." Keiko smiled and said, "I'll do it for you, it's going to be lively!" ”

Coach Anxi was stunned, and then laughed with relief.

"Hehehehehe!" He shook his wife's hand and smiled happily: "Why wait for him to come back, accompany me to the United States to watch the finals, I really want to go." ”

Keiko was slightly stunned and hesitated slightly, but looking at her husband's eyes that seemed to be pure again, as if she had returned to youth, she finally made up her mind and said with a smile: "...... Good! ”

…… At this moment, there was silence in the MCI center for more than ten seconds.

G1, its home court, has one of the strongest centers in the league, and has the god of this league!

swept all the way from the playoffs, and also carried the mission of the basketball god to dominate the league for the third time.

The opponent is a pure 'budding' team of Payton and Brent with three first-year rookies!

Frankly, no one thought the Wizards would lose in this G1.

Whether it is the fans on the scene or the commentaries of all parties, or even the league itself, the analysis of the strength of the two teams, the analysis of each other's experience and ability, the advantages of home and away, psychological advantages, etc., the Wizards all have an advantage, but ......

There were angry voices and scolding from the fans at the scene, but after all, they were only a very few.

It's just G1.

The Wizards' performance in this game is actually wonderful enough, the 40-year-old Jordan scored 44 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and Yao Ming, known as the league's top center, also got a super double-double of 33 points and 17 rebounds, and the two alone scored 77 points!

This is in 03, not in the NBA scoring league where small ball and body hair whistles are prevalent 15 years later, and it is enough to be amazing and impeccable enough to get such data.

It's just that the opponent behaved better......

Glove Payton, the 34-year-old veteran, seems to have average stats in this game, but the plus/minus when on the court reached an astonishing +18, and the old guy used his defense to defend the Wizards from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, worthy of the prestige of the glove.

The 204-centimeter-old No. 10 rookie is the center Yao Ming, who has reached the league's super-first-class level, is so tired that he can't play in the fourth quarter, otherwise the superSonics will only be foolish if they want to defeat the Wizards!

As for Lin Dong, the mysterious Oriental magician and away silencer, this first-year rookie actually scored a terrifying 69 points in the game, including 12 3-pointers with an 80% shooting rate and 15 free throws with a 100% shooting rate!

And there are also 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks on both offensive and defensive ends.

Frankly speaking, when this set of data came out, not only the fans and reporters at the scene, but also the football critics in the United States, including the entire league, were silent.

This is the grand final...... It's not the regular season!

The current top four individual scoring records in the NBA history in the Finals are logo man Jerry West's 53 points against the Celtics in '69, Rick Barry's 55 points against the 76ers in '67, Michael Jordan's 55 points against the Suns in the first three-game winning streak, and Elgin Baylor's 61 points against the Green Army in '62.

And Baylor's 61 points is also the only game in NBA history where he has scored more than 60 points in the Finals, and this record has been sealed for 40 years!

But now, this first-year rookie broke this achievement in the first NBA Finals of his life, and the opponent is Michael Jordan!

This...... What kind of monster is this? What kind of basketball genius is this?

And that's not the only one he has broken.

12 three-pointers, 80% 3-point shooting!

15 free throws, 100% free throw shooting!

He shot 21-of-32 from the field, and the shooting rate reached an astonishing 65.6%!

Each of these is the all-time number one in the finals......

If before this game, the entire league, including all the basketball people in the world, thought that Lin Dong was just a super newcomer, a guy who was qualified to challenge God.

Now, people may have to change their evaluation and perception of this rookie.

One shot is to break all records.

This guy doesn't really seem to have come to challenge God...... This guy is not a raptor, he is not a dragon, he is directly rushing to the altar!

Looking at the supersonic cheers in the field, the stadium stands finally burst into some applause after a long time.

Against an opponent like that, against a team of Wizards who have given their all, against a great game like this that breaks all kinds of records and is evenly matched until the last minute, you can't help but applaud.

What's more, the finals are not over yet.

This is just G1, and the Wizards only lost the last game, and all of this is based on the fact that the Wizards have already lost a defensive man.

The Wizard is still the same Wizard, if it is complete, the strength must still be above the supersonic speed, and there are still six games!

- Win the next game, Michael!

- It's okay, we'll call back when G2 comes, I'm sure you can do it!

- Come on, Michael! Come on, Yao!

It's a pity that some of the comfort and attitudes of the fans at the scene obviously do not represent the views of the whole world.

After the game, the Wizards at their press conference......

- Michael, everybody is curious about your 3-point selection in the last 11 seconds, you chose to pass, does that mean you feel like you've lost control of the game? Are you old?

- Michael, your restriction on Lin Dong on the defensive end has become the most criticized point of this game, the basketball god can't stop a first-year rookie, which has never happened in your career, do you still have absolute confidence in winning the seventh championship?

- Yao, what do you think about being entangled by a 204 cm little man and exhausting your physical strength, many fans think you are a soft egg?

- Coach Doug, why didn't you call for a substitution to delay the time when the last 6 seconds were violated? With two basketball titles in your career and no championship trophy, would you consider ending your coaching career if you lose this series?

- Michael, I heard that Ron Artest had a few simple words with you before that impulsive moment, and you scolded him harshly, which is probably the reason for his psychological imbalance and finally made impulsive moves, people say that you are not a really good and rational leader, do you think this will be a stain on your career?

Countless tricky and even offensive and insulting questions will embarrass the wizards sitting in the interview seats.

Yao Ming lowered his head and didn't say anything, his speaking level was not bad now, but it was obviously not suitable to quibble at this time.

In the end, Jordan grabbed the microphone from Collins, faced the reporters, and ended the interview directly with two cold words: "In my career, have I ever lost even one Finals?" ”

One sentence left all the reporters speechless.

Jordan said coldly: "So you clowns have heard me clearly, completely shut your dog mouth before the end of the series, you just need to remember my name, my name is Michael Jordan!" ”
