Chapter 259 [Come, be happy]

Yang Rui chatted with Christie a few words, told him what to say in general, and cooperated with the reporter.

If it is another role player, maybe he is worried that doing so will anger Kobe, and if he is beaten up in the game, he will lose face and become a laughing stock.

Doug Christie has no such scruples, even if he is really blown up, he is not afraid.On the contrary, he found it very exciting and challenging to face an angry super scorer, like the thrill of being whipped, and he enjoyed it too much.

As a hopeless "Shaking M", Christie's mentality is similar to that of a Chinese Divine Comedy. He brings his own BGM on and off the field: Come on, be happy, there is a lot of time anyway...

After chatting with Yang Rui, Christie went out to find an acquaintance reporter of the Raptors for an interview before the game.

"I often played against Carter and McGrady in the team, and my defensive ability has been improving. In the finals, I can kill Kobe Bryant one-on-one. He is nothing special." Christie's tone is high, and his expression is like "The King of Comedy" "Wu Mengda, who manages lunch boxes on the set.

Yang Rui negotiated with the reporter, so the reporter asked a more disgusting question: "Kobe was selected to the second team of the best team. Many people think that his strength is not inferior to Carter and McGrady. What do you think?"

"We've played many times, and it's much easier to defend against Kobe. In addition, Houston, Ray Allen, Pierce, Eddie Jones, Michael Finley, Marbury, Iverson and others are also harder to defend than him. These people Some breakthroughs are super strong, and some are good at catching and shooting three-pointers. Kobe Bryant’s airing from beyond the three-point line is not a problem.”

At the previous meeting, a group of people were still discussing how to limit the Lakers' shooting from the outside. If they shrink to the penalty area, they can prevent breakthroughs, and they are afraid that the opponent will shoot from the outside.One-on-one defense against O'Neal, Kobe Bryant is the object of strict defense, how can it be empty?

Christie laughed when he finished speaking, really convinced Yang Rui, who can figure out his false and real routine?
Yang Rui didn't accept the interview, and greeted the reporter with a smile: "I'll let it go. I've said enough before. I'll talk about my thoughts after the Raptors win the championship."

If it is too much, the more he talks, the other party will know that there is a conspiracy, and people will be disgusted.

When the reporters left, D'Antoni asked, "Why didn't you say anything in the meeting just now? Are you ready?"

"This news will be broadcast today, giving Kobe a day to digest. McGrady has a good relationship with him. Even if they don't call, they can chat on the Minions. If this is said at the meeting, he knows the Raptors. For Kobe, by going to some information, the effect will not be so good." Yang Rui smiled.

Thibodeau smiled and grinned to his ear: "It's already the finals, shouldn't he do this?"

"Who can say for sure? Maybe young people are looking for a fair fight? In short, I don't want to see any surprises in the games that can be won." Yang Rui said sternly.

The two were speechless. Yang Rui was a young man, but unlike those naive young people, he did not take the usual path.

They looked at each other and instantly understood the message in each other's eyes. Probably because this guy was an orphan, his heart was twisted, and he must not become his enemy.

ESPN Radio also organized 13 basketball experts to predict the outcome and compete in the lineup. Except for O'Neal, everyone believed that the Raptors had the upper hand.

Six people predicted that the Raptors would win the championship in six games, four predicted that the Raptors would win the championship in five games, two predicted that the two sides would play seven games, and the Raptors would win the championship. Only two people were optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship in seven games. One person is optimistic about the Raptors sweeping the Lakers and completing the feat of winning the playoffs.

Even the most optimistic about the Lakers do not think that the Lakers are stronger than the Raptors, and the tiebreaker is all about perseverance.

According to online predictions, fans are one-sidedly optimistic about the Raptors, with an approval rate as high as 83%, even if the Lakers have O'Neal as a super center, it is useless.

Everyone thinks that the Raptors have too much advantage, and it is an advantage to have more players.

The Raptors are hoarding insiders this season, and there are five big men over 210cm tall in the playoffs, two of which are over 120kg, and it seems that they can limit O'Neal more than other teams.At least you can hold it and foul.

Another advantage is the schedule.Three more games were played in the Western Conference finals, and the Lakers only had two days to rest at the end of the night, and the finals will start on the 7th.With such an intensive schedule, it is difficult for the Lakers to adjust their state.Last season, the Raptors lost their schedule when they played against the Heat.

The Raptors players have been off for a week, full of energy and energy.

In the 232 finals, many people said it was unfair. As long as the team with home field advantage lost the first two home games, it would be dangerous.
In this way, the finals are instead an away advantage.

But that's only in theory. The Raptors have a better chance of winning against the Lakers, which are extremely physically exhausting.Once back at home with a 0-2 disadvantage, the Lakers' momentum will be seriously affected, and it will be difficult to win the championship.

How many teams with weak regular records can guarantee that they can hold three home games?Even if they win, they have to go to the opponent's home court to win at least one more game before they can win the championship.

The situation was not good for the Lakers, so the whole team didn't dare to say anything harsh, but said they would try their best.

If the coaches and players are too low-key, it will also affect the morale of the team and even the morale of the fans, because they seem to lack confidence.

Tickets for the finals have long been sold out. Starting on the 5th, the atmosphere in Toronto was like a festival, and many Vancouver fans came to watch the game.

The Vancouver Grizzlies have been affected. They have been at the bottom of the game in Canada for years. The owner always loses money. Compared with the Raptors, they will not get the support of fans.

The advantage is great, and the Toronto media still does not let the Lakers go. They want to strive for a greater advantage for the home team. On the 6th, Sports Channel broadcast Christie's exclusive interview.

The fans of the Raptors are very happy. In addition to the stars, even the "Dao Brother" who is a role player is so domineering and angry.If Christie really guarded Kobe, there would be no suspense in this game.

When the Lakers learned the news, they were only depressed, especially the parties involved.

Although Kobe Bryant has not yet received a strong personal honor, he is one of Jordan's successors hand-picked by Stern, and he was praised in 98.Christie despised him so much that Kobe fans were outraged.

How dare you look down on Kobe like this?According to what you said, he is almost out of the top ten outsiders?You are going to die, Kristisand!

Fans can't accept it yet. They scold Christie on the Internet, not to mention Kobe Bryant with super self-esteem?

Kobe was almost mad when he saw the news, and he couldn't vent his anger if he didn't do something extreme.After all, the online scolding battle is one-sided. How many fans does Christie have?It is unbearable to be looked down upon by such people!
Bryant really wants to rush out of the hotel with two kitchen knives, and he will chop when he sees it, from Toronto to Vancouver, for three days and three nights, without blinking, and his eyes are not dry, because his eyes are full of Tears!
Even if you want to compare, let's compare him to Carter and Maddie?Everyone is a star, what kind of onion star is Christie?
At this time, Kobe has made up his mind secretly. In any case, he must be resolute in the heads-up tomorrow. He will definitely blow up Christie and let him know that O'Neal is not the only star in the Lakers.

He never thought that he would step into a hole dug by others with one foot.
