Center first

Chapter 364
The busy preparations of the two teams made the time pass quickly. Pat Riley and Phil Jackson were anxiously waiting for the moment when the game started. The intense pre-match preparations also made these two veterans start to work on their own. In the state, tense and meticulous, adjust your on-the-spot state to the best.

Not only Pat Riley and Phil Jackson are preparing for the battle, all the players of the two teams are also trying their best to warm up their bodies. Although the atmosphere of the two teams seems a little calm, but Whether there is a huge amount of energy underneath, no one can see now.

At least two teams are currently in a completely closed training state, which has made everyone feel the tension when they are preparing for the game. After playing to this level, no one will give up willingly. Everyone is doing the final battle. The sprint, especially the Miami Heat's players who are about to lift their suspensions, has accumulated strength for a long time, and they now desperately need a place to release.

Everyone who is going to be on the final stage is seizing every minute. They understand that when the whistle of the game is sounded, everyone will face the most cruel game process. No one can be spared. To win the final victory, you must let yourself act first, even any slight detail may affect the final result of the game.

Two days passed like this, and when everyone on the Miami Heat landed at the airport in Los Angeles, they could feel the pressure on their shoulders. It's their last chance to play, or maybe it's their only chance to hit the top.

There was no pre-match adaptive training. Pat Riley didn't even let his team come to the opponent's territory one day earlier. The game has reached such a point that those adaptive training will not have any effect at all. , if they have time, it is better to let them have more rest time in their own city.

Choosing to fly to their destination on the afternoon before the game, such a bold decision may only be made by someone like Pat Riley, and this old guy arranged for them to stay in a relatively secluded place. The well-equipped hotel and well-established security system also prevented them from being disturbed by too many reporters.

After a night's rest, Pat Riley arranged for his players to have a simple physical activity training only on the morning of the match day. This arrangement seemed a bit loose, as if they were on vacation. Rather than preparing for the finals in general.

"Keep a relaxed mind to complete the game", this is Pat Riley's request to the players.Since I am at a disadvantage in terms of strength, why waste those boring physical strength doing some ordinary training?It's better to save all your physical strength until night to greet your opponent.

Pat Riley's casual arrangements disappointed the reporters who were going to see the Miami Heat's training situation. Some people even wrote on the Internet that Pat Riley was ready to go to Switzerland for vacation Going by, his team doesn't look like it's in the mood for the Finals at all.

"Let them go ahead, what does it have to do with me, I'm here to play games, I'm not here to be a mannequin for them, those guys can't take pictures and can't do jobs, so they can only come and curse us, Vacation? Nice idea, let's go to the Staples Center and have a fun night."

On the bus to the arena, Pat Riley pointed to the boastful host on the TV screen and said, he has always had such an attitude towards those who can only talk tricks, how do I plan to Yes, does it have anything to do with you?How about getting you, a guy who can't even touch the rim, to comment on me?Look in the mirror first, recognize who you are, and then go to the TV to point fingers.

These guys on the Miami Heat have never known what it's like to be nervous, but the atmosphere of the Finals still makes the expressions on these guys' faces a little uncomfortable, especially when the team bus enters the Staples Center. In front of the arena's underground parking lot, those crazy Lakers fans were honking their car horns frantically at the Miami team.

"A crazy day, a bunch of crazy fans, and then this disgusting feeling of depression." This is how the newbies like Chalmers feel in their hearts now, and even Lin Yi frowned at those annoying shouts , it seems that's how the people of Los Angeles greeted them.

This time, Lin Yi did not agree to Taylor Swift and Lin Yuwei's request to come to Los Angeles. After all, this is a fanatical finals. Who knows if those Lakers fans will do something crazy, Miami will go with the team Not many fans came here, because the expensive tickets were almost digested by the Los Angeles people themselves. Don't forget, there is no shortage of consumers here.

"Don't worry about those annoying guys, this is the tradition in Los Angeles. When I was here, it was probably crazier than this, especially when it was like the Finals or against the Celtics, the atmosphere here would be crazy. It has become more and more frenzied, it seems that in addition to killing the opponent's dozen big men, we also need to resist these more than 2 noise sources." Pat Riley seems to have long been used to the atmosphere here .

Oh, I almost forgot, this guy was the hero of this city back then, he got the glorious history belonging to an era here, and the four eye-catching rings on his hand, this old guy doesn’t know if he did it on purpose Well, on such a day, he deliberately put those rings that are usually stored in the safe on his fingers, which looked particularly eye-catching.

A superstitious habit?Maybe, but this is more likely to be Pat Riley's hint to himself that the brilliance he once created here will be broken by him alone. Now he is the head of Miami, and he wants his team to create When the same dynasty came out, the ring on his hand is a nostalgia for the past, but also an expectation for the future, or a kind of prayer.

The Staples Center arena, a stage that is gorgeous enough, aside from its capacity of nearly 2 people, this arena has almost become a blessed place for the Lakers since the day it was completed. It has established its own three consecutive championships, a new Lakers dynasty, and a miracle belonging to the Lakers was born here.

Today they hope that this place can once again welcome the establishment of the new dynasty of the Lakers. The past glory here is enough for it to show off and occupy the most dazzling position in Los Angeles. It is luxurious enough and atmospheric enough to use it as the curtain of the NBA Finals. The place where it was opened seemed perfect.

In addition to nearly [-] fanatical supporters wearing Lakers uniforms, there is also the most luxurious star tour group, Spike Lee, Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Beckham Hum, LA has never been short of star-studded moments, and today was no exception.

June [-]th is a time that attracts all celebrities, regardless of whether they really understand basketball or not, but being able to get a chance to appear in the Staples Center Arena is enough to make these guys Willing to pay thousands of dollars for tickets, this is the charm of Los Angeles.

"What a luxurious cheering group, it seems that our Miami is far behind in this kind of hardware competition." Wade elbowed Lin Yi and said, if the finals is a very good-looking movie, Then these expensive supporting roles have already made the Staples Center Arena look very dazzling.

"NO, Dwyane, you forgot something, the hottest person in the entire entertainment industry right now is our Lin Yi, and his girlfriend who is called the little princess of country music, we only need her in Miami That's enough, I'm not used to seeing old women in their 30s, I prefer to see younger girls."

Old Huo Li's unscrupulous expression made Lin Yi a little speechless. He had no choice but to be caught by these old guys. Taylor Swift and Lin Yuwei almost became the must for these guys to tease Lin Yi for a while. It was a topic that was mentioned, because Lin Yi was helpless only when the names of those two girls were mentioned.

"Please, it's finals time, can you let me go? Those nasty reporters have already made me dizzy before I entered the locker room, please let me be quiet for a while, alas, as long as it involves When it comes to the topic of women, you always seem to be on a stimulant." Lin Yi had no other way to deal with these old fellows other than nagging.

"Okay, boys, our opponents are ready to play, let's enjoy a debut show quietly, and see how our opponents are in spirit today, if they are a bunch of listless guys, then wait until they come on stage When the time comes, just give me a hard hit on them." Pat Riley waited for the opening ceremony of the Lakers with his shoulders in his arms.

He has long been accustomed to the atmosphere here. Although this stadium is no longer the home stadium where he staged the "SHOW TIME moment", no one is more familiar with the taste of Los Angeles than him. He used to be a member here, or he used to be He is worshiped here, but when he came back today, what he was holding was not flowers, but a gleaming sharp knife.

Excited appearance music, when these guys from the Lakers began to drill out of the player channel one by one, the atmosphere in the entire Staples Center Arena began to gradually heat up, when Gasol and Kobe came out of the player channel When it appeared in , the 2 people shouted "MVP" frantically, which already made people feel that this huge arena was filled with this kind of sound, and that kind of sound made everyone fall into a state of madness.

This is Kobe's influence in Los Angeles, he can use a simple action to lead the fans to shout wildly, he is the ruler here, even Phil Jackson admits this, at the Staples Center Arena Here, no one can replace Kobe's role, not anyone, including the owner of the Lakers.

Kobe stood in the center of the field with his head held high, receiving the worship of thousands of people under the light. He didn't do some special moves to attract the attention of others like those guys who like to show off their personality. He just stood there quietly. , but that's enough.He seems to have long been used to this way of appearance, but today's stage is a bit special to him.He once again stood on the stage of the finals.

This time, no one in the Lakers can share the applause and cheers with him. After O'Neal left, no one in the Lakers' territory can talk to Kobe about the right to share rights. No Gasol, Bynum No, the only thing that Kobe can respect may be a "little fish", but that is only respect for him, not respect, maybe this kind of Kobe will feel a little lonely sometimes, but he seems to have He has been lonely for a long time, so long that he is used to enjoying this kind of worship by himself.

Walking alone is a bit lonely, maybe deserted, but for a proud person, it may be his best choice, just like now, he enjoys the illumination of the lights alone, and leads everyone's eyes alone , The raised hands seemed to be inciting the atmosphere in the arena.

"He is demonstrating against us in this way." Wade said to Lin Yi in a low voice.

"He has a reason and a right to do so. This is Staples, his territory. We are a group of fearless intruders. Today he is here to defend his honor. Everything can show that he dominates this arena. The moves of force are very obvious declarations of war, and it seems that our opponents are ready."

Lin stared at the worshiped guy in the middle of the field. He knew that everything his opponent was doing was telling him that he was ready to meet all challenges, and today he was the one who was going to challenge him. The arena has been set up, and he is waiting for his opponent to step into the center of the field.

"Okay, boys, the performance of the masters is over, now it's time for us villains to come on stage, the boos of more than 2 Los Angeles people, I haven't enjoyed it for a long time, I hope they don't let me down this time." Te Riley waved his hand, indicating that these players under him can enter the field and accept a baptism of boos. This is the hospitality of the Los Angeles people, and we must not let them down.

Deafening boos, this is the way almost all arenas must use when welcoming guests, this is hell, this is the beginning of your shame, but the sound of the Staples Center arena today is even crazier, because This is the finals, this is the stage of deathmatch, no one can have a moment of comfort here.

However, the Miami people were not disturbed by these boos. If the surround sound before entering the arena made them feel a kind of boredom, then they had already put that emotion out of their heads by now, and stepped on the stage. After going to the floor, these guys forgot everything, and only their opponents existed in their eyes.

Accompanied by the boos on the stage, the sound always surrounded the Heat during the short warm-up time. Now in the Staples Center arena, no one is on their side, including those beautiful Lakers Everyone, including the cheerleaders, looked at them with a bit of hostility.

"Besieged on all sides." Such a word suddenly popped into Lin Yi's mind. Perhaps the stands surrounding the field now form such a feeling. The huge team uniforms hanging on the roof of the arena seem to be Showing the brilliance here, everything here seems to be warning the people of Miami.

"This is the territory of the Lakers, fishermen in Miami, this is not the place for you!" A Lakers fan who was closer to the warm-up basket of the Heat suddenly stood up and shouted loudly at the Heat players , but he just stood there waving the inflatable stick in his hand, and did not do anything else.

"You seem to have said the same thing last time, but we seem to be the ones who won in the end. Can I understand your words as a blessing now? Thank you very much." Lin Yi replied tepidly , he doesn't care what kind of reaction he will get if he says this, anyway, he is not here for sightseeing, does it matter if he offends others?This is not my home field anyway, so it doesn't matter if you all blush because of this sentence.

Since you want to turn this place into a battlefield, then I will follow your wishes. When Lin Yi left the field at the end of the warm-up, he was booed the most in the audience, and the fans on both sides of the tunnel were unfriendly to him. He gestured with his middle finger, and the frantic yelling continued until he entered the locker room.

"Okay, boys, we still have more than ten minutes to calm down. The tactical arrangement has already been arranged. You have already seen the atmosphere here. I don't need to say more. Wait for this The stage is left to you to control, and what kind of game you can bring to this place is up to you.”

After Pat Riley said this, he exited the locker room. He left all the space for these big men. He has said too much in the past few days. Now he wants to These guys need to be quiet, including himself. This arena is theirs, and it is also his own.

When Pat Riley opened the door of the locker room for the first time, the group of big men who stood up inside had relaxed smiles on their faces, "It seems that you have prepared enough, let us go on stage, save The master here is anxiously waiting." Pat Riley pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth in satisfaction.

When the two teams appeared on the field at the same time, they were watching each other. For the next 48 minutes, everything on the field was under their control. From this moment on, the peak moment of the finals It has already kicked off. . .

(The Wizards bought out Big Z's contract. I seem to have seen the Cavaliers win the championship this year. Is there a more cost-effective deal than this in exchange for an all-around Jamison with a draft pick? And Big Z It is almost an open secret to return to the Cavaliers. Unless there is an accident, the general manager who planned this transaction is definitely eligible to be selected as the best manager of the year in the NBA. Do I feel a little uncomfortable? Maybe I hate the rich...)
