Chapter 1595 The Battle of Victory and Defeat
June 4th, Los Angeles, night has just fallen in the City of Angels. This modern city is ushering in the busiest moment of the day, but it is different from usual. The streets seem a little deserted, and there seems to be a storm. This brewing.
And it is Staples that is at the point of the storm. At 6 o'clock in the evening, there is already a lot of traffic here, and the outside of Staples has been blocked by fans from all over the world. If you are in it at this moment, what will you understand? It's called red flags waving, gongs and drums roaring, firecrackers blasting, and huge crowds of people...
This is the center of the entire Los Angeles at the moment. All the people flow here to gather and carry the raging heat wave into the distance. Even Hollywood, far away from the city center, is currently occupied by a group of fans wearing purple and gold jerseys.
Even in Beverly Hills, which has always been aloof, many stores are now displaying competition-related activities at the entrance. The entrance of the Versace flagship store even has the slogan "12% off with game tickets".
And Chinatown is even more real. Except for more than half of the bosses who rushed to Staples to cheer for Ji Feng at close range, the rest of them all wrote "Half price for Lakers championship", which once again proved that Ji Feng Unparalleled influence in the minds of Chinese people.
At 6:30 in the evening, 30 minutes before the game started, something even more impressive came. LED lights were used on the Los Angeles City Hall building to display the Lakers team logo, and there were purple and gold characters below:
Build a dynasty and fight for Los Angeles!
This is the third consecutive year that the Lakers have entered the finals, and it is also Ji Feng’s third trip to the finals. From defeating the Celtics in Los Angeles two years ago to reaching the top, they now meet again in the finals. This time, the outcome is determined by the outcome. Who does it belong to!
In the stadium, with the live DJ shouting, the Lakers fans gave the warmest cheers to welcome the home team players.
"He is the well-deserved new king of the West Coast. He is Asia's new magician. He is the most terrifying record-breaker of this era. He was born with a miracle. Let us welcome Ji~Feng!"
Along with a long list of titles, Ji Feng took the lead and ran out of the channel.
"Ah ah ah Ji Feng~! I love you~"
"Ji Feng MVP! The dynasty is right in front of us!"
"Blow them up and you will be a hero in Los Angeles!"
Fans cheered for the second consecutive MVP season.
After completing the appearance ceremony early, the Green Army players waiting on the sidelines saluted with attention, and Pierce was staring at Ji Feng intently.
Different from his youthful appearance two years ago, although Ji Feng, who has just turned 21, is still young, he still has the temperament of a king at this moment. He is more calm and domineering.
Of course Pierce will not forget that two years ago, it was this guy who came out of nowhere and frustrated the Big Three's desire to win the championship in one year. They have not yet tasted the championship.
To this day, Pierce still has not forgotten the feeling of losing in the finals. This is the most memorable moment in his life, and it is also the motivation for him to stand here again!
Yes, before the start of the season, no one thought that the Celtics would have a chance to reach the finals. They preferred to believe that the Magic would create another miracle, or that James would fulfill his dream, but those people were disappointed in the playoffs.
The whole Green Army has used practical actions to explain what it means to be your uncle or your uncle, old, tough, and iron-blooded.
This Green Army is worthy of being the Lakers' strongest opponent in this era.
Like their predecessors, they once again stood on both sides of the championship trophy with the Lakers. This time, the Green Army vowed not to let the opportunity slip away!
"Let's go!" Pierce crossed his chest, took off his clothes, touched the floor, and led the team onto the court!
Next door, the Lakers starters were also making final preparations.
"Huh, is this the finals? It's really different." Artest gasped. This was his first finals, and just like before, he got the chance to start.
It stands to reason that for a veteran like him who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he would not feel nervous at the beginning of the game. However, now, Artest can feel his heartbeat speeding up after a long absence.
He now understood why Ji Feng asked him to come to the arena early. The finals were indeed different from the previous games.
Of course it's different. This is the finals. The two strongest teams in the East and West are destined to fight here to compete for the crown jewel of basketball.
It was broadcast live in more than 280 countries and regions around the world, surrounded by 360 reporters, and watched in real time by more than 150 million viewers around the world.
This is the real palace of basketball!
"Let's go!" Kobe roared, and the five Lakers also walked onto the court.
First release!
Lakers: Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Kobe and Ji Feng!
Celtics: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo!
A star-studded group of ten took to the court.
at the same time…
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome to the first game of the 2009-2010 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics at home. My name is Yu Jia."
"I am Zhang Weiping."
Yu Jia: "The Los Angeles Lakers have entered the Finals for three consecutive years and won two consecutive championships. The two teams previously met in the 2008 Finals. The Celtics lost to the Lakers 2-4. Kobe Bryant Bryant won the Finals MVP."
“In the 2009-10 season, while retaining the Big Three of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen, the Celtics introduced experienced veteran Rasheed Wallace. Strengthening the team's lineup, this time it returned to the finals again, and the Lakers introduced Artest as a tactical supplement to the team, which also made the Lakers stronger. They have completed two consecutive championships. This time, they will move towards three. The great cause of the crown king will advance.”
Director Zhang: "That's right, this year's NBA Finals also adopts a 2-3-2 format. The Los Angeles Lakers, who have a better regular season record, have the home court advantage in this finals. This is the difference between the two teams in the finals. The twelfth encounter."
"In the previous 11 encounters, the Celtics had an absolute advantage. In the previous 11 encounters, the Boston Celtics won eight of them, namely 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1968. , 1969 and 1984 Finals."
"The Lakers have only won three times, in 1985, 1987 and 2008. However, the Lakers also have an advantage. In the last three times the two teams met in the Finals, the Lakers won them all."
Yu Jia: "Before, the Celtics won 16 championships, and after the Lakers won the championship in the 2008 and 2009 seasons, they tied the Celtics in the number of championships, also 16 times. In other words, who will win this time? Whoever will be the team with the most championships in NBAS history!”
Director Zhang: "As the saying goes, success or failure depends on one fell swoop!"
Following the two words, Bynum jumped the ball for the Lakers on the court!
