The older superstars of the NBA

There are quite a few sneaker manufacturers who sent invitations, and Zhao Feiyang couldn't make a complete decision for a while.In order for him to prepare for the finals with peace of mind without outside interference, agent David Stoke decisively decided to ask Zhao Feiyang to put this matter aside first, and leave other matters to him.

David Stocker has been steady since he became Zhao Feiyang's agent, and he has never done anything unruly in private. Therefore, Zhao Feiyang handed over the relevant contact matters to him first.

There is not much time left for the two teams to rest.

Especially for the Minnesota Timberwolves, they played a total of seven games before ending the Western Conference Finals. Compared with the Cleveland Cavaliers' 4-1 record, the latter's rest time is obviously more than them.

Rest time is precious for any team looking to make it to the Finals.

Of course, there are good and bad things to say about this.

Too much rest time can make a team too slack, and too little rest time can also cause a team to not rest enough and increase the risk of injury.

In short, amidst the anticipation, the journey of the two sides to the finals finally started.

Target Center Arena.

This is the home of the Timberwolves and the venue for Game [-] of the Finals.

On the day of the game, the entire arena was submerged in countless cheers and shouts.

For this grand game, the Timberwolves specially arranged the on-site arena, and also expanded many positions under the electronic screen outside the arena, in order to hope that more fans will participate in the finals.

As they expected, the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was very lively, and the attendance rate and attention also reached a record high since the team was established.

At the same time, China also broadcast the game specially.

In order for the fans to see Zhao Feiyang's performance in the finals, CCTV Sports took great pains. Not only did they make a promotional video to promote Zhao Feiyang's performance, but they also broadcast the game in prime time. enough support.

Half an hour before the game, players from both sides made final preparations in the locker room.

The Timberwolves players were extremely excited. Except for stars like Zhao Feiyang and veteran players like Dwight Howard, none of them had played in the finals at all. It can be said that they had no experience in the finals at all.

For this reason, the team coach Norman Thomas also specially asked Howard to stand up and say a few words of encouragement to everyone.

It was finally his turn, and in this situation, Howard had a happy face. He pretended to be an old senior and began to tell the players about his experience in the finals, and kept telling them what to pay attention to. .

This has indeed attracted the admiration of some young players.

Howard also looked satisfied when he saw this, "Guys, there is no need to remember too many details. In short, what we have to do is to ensure a good enough state and not interfere with any external factors..."

"It's actually as if we're playing in the Western Conference finals, it's enough to go all out. …"

In the end, everyone put their hands together and cheered for the game together under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang. After completing these ceremonies, they walked towards the player tunnel one after another.

the other side.

Unlike the excitement and excitement of the Timberwolves, for the Cavaliers who have already reached the finals once, the finals can no longer make them feel the strong impulse of last season.

Team leader LeBron James called the crowd together, gave a simple speech, and then led the crowd out.

Having already had experience in the finals, they looked more sophisticated and calm.

beep.

The match between the two sides is about to start.

Players from both sides came to the field to shake hands.

When he saw LeBron James, Zhao Feiyang happily gave him a high five and hugged him.

The two were teammates when they were in the Heat, and they also fought together in the finals. Who would have thought that just over a season later, the two sides would meet in the finals in another form.

It's just that this time they are no longer teammates, but rivals who compete with each other.

"Zhao, your performance really surprised me...Man, I can't imagine that in just one season, you can improve an ordinary team to this level..."

"Dude, I feel like you're better than me..."

For LeBron's rhetoric, Zhao Feiyang certainly knew that the other party was self-effacing.

"LeBron, don't say that, we're in a different environment ... you're in the NBA and you're in the Finals in your fourth season, it's amazing, and the Cavaliers didn't have that much power back then. …”

"I'm different, I have Dwight and Zach, Kevin and Andrew and a lot of good players to help me... If they are around you, you will definitely understand how good they are... ..."

LeBron did not agree with this, but he still praised Zhao Feiyang personally.

"If your career can be extended longer, you will definitely leave your own legend in the league...I am very optimistic about you..."

After communicating with LeBron, Kyrie Irving also came to Zhao Feiyang.

The friendship between the two is not deep. They have played against each other in the regular season before, and both have victories and losses.

Compared with LeBron, Irving seemed to be "tit for tat". He came to Zhao Feiyang on his own initiative, and said "ruthless words" to Zhao Feiyang while saying hello.

"Man, I watched Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals...You did really well! But it's not enough to beat us..."

"This year's championship is ours!"

"I am looking forward to playing against you in the next time..."

Zhao Feiyang also responded.

"Me too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of challenges to each other.

For the Cavaliers, the team's No. [-] position is occupied by Irving, who is responsible for ball control and organization of offense; the No. [-] position is handed over to Jr. Smith.

There is no accident at the third position, of course LeBron is in charge, while the fourth and fifth positions are handed over to Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson.

The Timberwolves lineup remains the same, Zach still plays the [-]st position, Zhao Feiyang still plays the [-]nd position, and the other positions remain the same.

The referee steps onto the court to toss the ball.

Snapped.

After throwing the basketball, Howard took the lead in capturing the basketball.

The basketball flew out and fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands. After getting the ball, he did not choose to hand it over to LaVine this time. Instead, he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the half court, choosing to attack the Cavaliers' basket with a sneak attack.

It was jr who marked Zhao Feiyang, and the sudden attack made jr panic. After he reacted, he chased after Zhao Feiyang to the basket.

Seeing that Zhao Feiyang was about to raise the basketball to shoot, jr could only choose to fly forward to block Zhao Feiyang's shot.

The referee's whistle sounded.
