The grand debut, the cheers of the audience, and the frenzy of the whole United States.

From the start, the ratings have broken experts' previous predictions of 51 million ...... According to the current timely data, there are enough 51 million viewers in the United States to watch this NBA Finals!

This is an achievement that was previously unimaginable for the American basketball community.

51 million, 16% of the nation's viewership, which is already comparable to some ordinary games of the nation's hottest Super Bowl.

But you have to understand that the Super Bowl NFL is the biggest event in the United States, and since Michael Jackson created the Super Bowl halftime show in '93, there hasn't been any other game or event that can match it.

NBA？ The NBA is not even a hair compared to the Super Bowl, but now it has reached half of the peak number of Super Bowl Finals with a single opening, and the data continues to grow.

It is foreseeable that the NBA will be able to negotiate with various media in the United States next year about broadcasting and cooperation with various advertisers.

It's just that these financial interests are only what the league's top brass are happy about, and not at all in the minds of the ten players on the court.

Washington Wizards starters: Point guard No. 10 Tyronn Lue, scoring guard No. 23 Jordan, small forward No. 21 Ron Artest, power forward No. 42 Al Harrington, center No. 5 Yao Ming!

Seattle SuperSonics starters: No. 20 point guard Gary Payton, No. 31 point guard Brent Barry, No. 23 small forward Lin Dong, No. 9 forward Iguodala, No. 10 center Sakuragi Hanamichi.

By this time in the series, they no longer had any secrets, and the superSonics' starting lineup had already been thoroughly studied.

There are a few changes to their starting five, all of which are in the forward position, if they play Desmond or Peddrag, then the opening is mainly focused on defense, and if they go to Iguodala, they want to start to grab the outside line and play the run-and-gun tactics that the SuperSonics are famous for.

In fact, this is a rather extreme style of play, after all, Yao Ming at the beginning is full of physical strength, and there is not much Sakuragi Hanamichi can do, and it is purely a gamble to fight the outside without a certain rebounding guarantee.

At this point, both sides were already in their respective positions, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.

"Is this going to leave the wins and losses to luck?" Jordan looked with great interest at the first-year rookie in front of him who had fought with him to Game 7, and was the only opponent he had encountered in his career who could compete with him, and he felt that his condition had never been so good as it was today.

There is no need for Artest to defend Lin Dong, since the G4 supersonic formation, in fact, it has been understood that it is better to let Artest block Lin Dong, it is better to let him block Peyton.

And an unreserved battle between the real cores of the two teams will be the main theme of this G7 from beginning to end!

The game has not started yet, but the psychological competition between each other has not stopped as early as G1.

Jordan smiled and chewed gum, and continued in a leisurely tone: "It's a pity, it was God who created Week 7, and in the seventh Finals of this Week 7, I, as a god, will get my seventh championship ring, and you won't have luck." ”

"Oh? Are you talking about that God? ”

Jordan laughed and responded, "Can it still be your Jade Emperor?" ”

So Lin Dong also laughed, and he looked at Jordan playfully: "But as far as I know, your God completed the work of creation in the first six days, so he set the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath holy day, in other words...... Your God doesn't seem to be at work on the seventh day of the week, eh? ”

Jordan was stunned.

Honk!

The referee's whistle blew and the basketball was thrown high into the air.

The ones who jumped the ball were Sakuragi Hanamichi and Yao Ming.

Perhaps because of the huge pressure on each other and the anticipation of this match, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped straight to his feet almost as soon as the whistle blew.

The ball jumped too early, so early that Yao Ming, who was also a little nervous, didn't even have time to think about it, but instinctively jumped along.

If there is anyone in this world who can affect Yao Ming's mentality, it is probably only Sakuragi Hanamichi in front of him.

Against the world's most recognized top centers like O'Neal and Duncan, Yao Ming has enough calmness and a fearless attitude to face everything.

Anyway, it is natural to lose, a draw is full of cheers, and if you win, the world will be shocked.

But when faced with height, weight, and even technical mentality, experience, etc., Sakuragi Hanamichi, which is not as good as himself, when he is in the position of being challenged, this mentality is reversed.

Winning is a matter of course, a draw is a question all over the world, and if you lose, you will be spurned and cursed by everyone.

After all, Da Yao is still carrying too much, and his psychological state has a certain impact on each other's performance, coupled with the other party's difficult rogue tactics, which also makes Sakuragi naturally become the opponent who is the most headache for Da Yao.

At this time, the subconscious jump reaction, as soon as the center of gravity was raised, I knew that it was going to be bad, but I saw that the jump height of Sakuragi Hanamichi at this time was not sufficient, but immediately took a second jump after falling quickly.

Neither of them grabbed the highest point of the ball, and even after landing, Yao Ming touched the basketball first with his height and arm span.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi's second jump came too fast, and the moment Yao Ming just felt his fingertips touch the basketball, the figure of No. 10 had already crossed his eyes, and then raised his big hand.

It's done!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes flashed with unparalleled excitement, he thought that he couldn't win this jump ball, and the 'deception' tactic he came up with on the spot was actually successful.

He jerked the basketball behind him.

The scene was in an uproar.

Da Yao actually lost the jump ball, and he lost to an opponent who was 22 centimeters shorter than him, which was incredible.

Syllable!

The ball is in Peyton's hand.

The long-awaited G7, the long-awaited battle for revenge!

Peyton's heart was both excited and apprehensive.

You won't have a problem with your knee after two injections in a row, right? The bandage won't loosen, right? It seems to be okay, but you can't drop the chain for yourself in this game!

At this moment, many thoughts turned irrepressibly in his heart, and a large hand slammed towards the left side of his ball.

Artest, the one who is known as the Wizards' defense second only to Jordan.

Payton subconsciously pulled the ball to the right, but ......

Syllable!

A big hand that was caught off guard seemed to have already judged his reaction, stretched out from the right side, slapped the basketball hard, and slapped the ball to the ground.

Steals!

Peyton was startled, and then suddenly realized that he shouldn't be distracted.

Number 23!

He subconsciously leaned his body, stretched out his hand, and slightly intercepted the figure of No. 23 who was about to rush past him to pick up the ball, and at the same time, the other No. 23 had already crossed the one that was stopped by him, and rushed forward to pick up the basketball on the ground.

Dark green No. 23, Lin Dong!

"Fack!" Jordan scolded secretly, Peyton's subconscious interception just now was too fast, blocking his forward figure slightly.

And it was this obstacle that made the dark green figure rush forward like a peerless ride.

Bending down and picking up the ball, the two-step action did not reduce the speed of Lin Dong's forward rush by a minute, but made it faster while lowering the center of gravity.

Sakuragi immediately entangled Yao Ming, who wanted to defend back, and seeing Lin Dong hit the basket, Harrington and Tyronn Lu inserted it diagonally to the basket at the same time to intercept.

One dozen two!

By this time, Iguodala and Brent had both rushed to the three-point line on either side of the frontcourt.

Pass?

This is not only the thoughts of the players present and all the fans at the scene, but even the commentary of the live broadcast has instinctively popped up this word.

The two absolute 3-point big openings are a good opportunity to open up the feel of their own outside players, and Yao Ming is not under the basket at this time, and Lin Dong even has the possibility of protecting the rebound.

And for the two defenders who are about to stand in the defensive position, if the ball is strong, the Wizards can even create Lin Dong to hit people with the ball.

So from any point of view, the ball can go for a 3 first.

Of course, fans and commentators can think of it, and Jordan can also think of it, he knew that he couldn't catch up with Lin Dong, so he chose to pounce on Iguodala, who was closest to him, and Yao Ming, who was entangled by Sakuragi Hanamichi on the other side, also 'dragged' Sakuragi Hanamichi towards Brent, who was closest to him.

Pass? If you want to pass it on, just give it a try!

However, the Asian with that facial expression didn't seem to have any idea of passing the ball at all.

In the blink of an eye, he was already close to the free throw line, followed by the two defenders who ignored the basket, and accelerated his sprint!

The terrifying speed and the expressionless face seemed to show his indomitable determination, so that Harrington and Tyronn Lue, who had just rushed to the top of the arc of the paint area, couldn't help but swallow.

Pass? Strong?

The brains of the two couldn't help but be photographed by each other's momentum, and they couldn't judge his choice with common sense, they only felt that the impact of this ball must be very strong!

The compelling momentum even made the two of them subconsciously take a step back.

But this regression is going to be bad, the feet are moving, and this can't make a foul.

At this time, I saw Lin Dong jump high directly towards the basket after taking a big stride.

He's going to beat it up!

Pull rod? Changing hands?

Harrington and Tyronn Lue could only jump up and block the block, and the next second......

A gleam flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, and he raised the basketball with both hands, looking directly at the two people jumping in front of him as if nothing was there.

If you don't have the faith to smash everything, how dare you talk about slaughtering God!

Rumble!

Violent body collision, the three of them slammed together.

Physical confrontation?

The 104-kilogram Harrington plus Tyronn Lue are indeed better than Lin Dong, but the bonus of momentum and impact power makes the confrontation between them one-sided.

Harrington and Tyronn Lue were knocked out of the way, and before they even jumped to the top point, they were rushed backwards, staggered backwards, and almost hit the reporters on the sidelines.

Lin Dong pulled his hands on the basket, and his whole body was bent and suspended, hanging the basket.

Thundered......

Bang bang bang......

It was the sound of the hoop trembling and the sound of the basketball bouncing off the ground.

But there was no referee's whistle.

Suddenly, there was silence in the audience, and the MCI Center, which was buzzing and buzzing just now, was directly dumbfounded by the man's fierce buckle at this moment.

Boom!

Lin Dong adjusted his balance and let go and jumped off the basket.

He looked around the quiet arena with a smile in his eyes, raised a finger for victory, and lit up the supersonics' bench and family and friends.

"Lin! Forest! Forest! Forest! ”

The scene, which was full of more than 20,000 people, was actually blown up by the voices of dozens of people......

The spacer is punched in.

Supersonic 0:2 got off to a good start!
