Chapter 1352 Feast
6 month 8 day.
New York has once again become a beautiful landscape.
In recent years, before this time, New York has become the center of world basketball, and all attention is focused here.
There is no need to say much about the warm-up. Seven consecutive years of finals have allowed this international city to develop its own fixed basketball model. Before each finals, the entire New York has completed the transformation from an international city to a basketball mecca.
For example, if you are walking on the streets of Brooklyn at this moment, the graffiti and spray paintings that have just been painted on the walls will tell you that this is Knicks time.
As usual, Times Square will hang up a huge poster of Zuo Li. There is no need to say much, and it doesn't even require any money. It is a completely spontaneous act of the shopping mall, because Zuo Li is the best advertisement. During the finals, more than half of the tourists came for Zuo Li.
The New York City government will also present talent shows to all fans before the opening of the finals. For example, last year there was a grand fireworks show. This year, many fans stood outside the stadium early to see what shows would be held today.
And the fans' wait was not in vain.
At 7:30 in the evening, half an hour before the game officially started, the area around Madison Square Garden suddenly fell into darkness.
"SHIT! What's going on!"
"What the hell! The game is about to start and the power goes out?! If the game is delayed, I will send them razor blades!!"
"Call the damn power company and ask them if they've been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
……
Just as the fans were cursing and preparing to teach the government a lesson, a light suddenly flashed in the night sky!
The light is so bright that the night sky is instantly lit up!
Then, colorful lights shot from all directions into the sky or onto the surrounding tall buildings.
"Wow! Light show, it's a light show!"
The fans were instantly relieved. It turned out to be this year's program. If only they had told us earlier, we would have almost sent out the razor blades.
That's right, this year's show is a light show covering the entire Manhattan, with colorful colors lighting up the entire night sky.
The whole process lasted 20 minutes, and at the end, the lights went out again, leaving only one place still lit!
That's Madison Square Garden.
It's a basketball mecca.
That's where the finals will be fought.
From the helicopter's overhead view, we can see a beam of light on the roof of Madison Square Garden:
"Let New York continue to be great and build a six-championship dynasty!"
The live broadcast signal spread this sentence all over the world and also demonstrated the Knicks' determination to achieve the great sixth consecutive championship.
Millions of fans came here from all over the world, but unfortunately, only 21458 fans were able to sit on the scene and witness the start of the G1 game.
The price of this game is of course sky-high. Even tickets to the top of the mountain cost $3000, and the front rows are priceless.
The first four rows are all well-known figures. A casual sweep of the camera reveals well-known people who often appear in entertainment, sports, and even economic pages.
There were even quite a few yellow-skinned faces at the scene. In addition to the celebrities, the appearance of Alibaba's Jack Ma also sparked domestic discussions.
Many people still don’t know that Zuo Li is also one of the shareholders of Alibaba Group. He had already made his plans as early as 2009 and has held shares to this day.
Today, Alibaba's Jack Ma also came to return the favor and supported Zuo Li on the spot. He also asked for a favor and put up a billboard on the sidelines at a friendly price.
Now that all the tickets have been bought out, most Knicks fans can only choose to gather under the big screen or in the surrounding bars.
Just as Knicks fans were looking at Madison Square Garden with pilgrim eyes, on the other side of the ocean, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans were also turning on their computers and televisions.
At 8:30 am Beijing time, Penguin Sports and CCTV cut into the live broadcast of the finals on time.
Who is the final champion of NBA in the 14-15 season?
Can the Knicks achieve their sixth consecutive championship?
Can Los Angeles get its revenge?
Can Kobe win his fifth championship?
Zuo Li and Kobe, will the kings of the new era continue to rule, or will the kings of the old era return?
Everything starts from tonight!
“CCTV, CCTV…”
"Welcome everyone to the TNT live studio! This is Sir Charles Barkley!"
"ESPN! Magic Johnson is here to tell you!"
……
The live broadcast started and people from all walks of life gathered.
The players’ appearance ceremony officially begins!
When the Lakers came on the court, Knicks fans only gave Anthony basic respect. After all, he is a New Yorker, but it was just basic respect. Everyone served their own team tonight.
Kobe finally came on the court amid boos, but he was fearless. All he wanted now was for the game to start quickly. He couldn't wait any longer.
Another person who couldn't wait was Zuo Li.
"MVP!"
Amidst roars, Zuo Li trotted onto the stage. It was obvious that his steps were even faster than usual.
Excited, excited!
He can finally compete with Kobe in the finals again.
The atmosphere reached its climax when Zuo Li appeared on the stage.
Five championships, five Finals MVPs, five regular season MVPs, four All-Star MVPs, seven Defensive Player of the Year awards, seven consecutive first-team doubles…
"Zuo Li! The strongest player on the planet, seven years later, he meets Kobe again in the finals!"
"Seven years ago, it was in this stadium that Zuo Li defeated Kobe, won his first championship, and started his unparalleled dominant career!"
"Now, Kobe is standing in front of him again!"
"Who will win the supreme trophy this time?"
Along with Yu Jia's shout, the starting lineups of both sides also appeared on the screen.
Knicks: Zuo Li, David Lee, Iguodala, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry!
Lakers: Jordan Hill, Gasol, Anthony, Kobe, Rondo!
This is a feast of stars, with both sides having four All-Star players.
Standing on the field, the whole scene was star-studded.
However, in comparison, it is obvious that the Lakers' stars are more famous, while the earliest one on the Knicks' side entered the league in 2005 and is a rising star.
This is also considered a direct collision between veteran stars and emerging forces.
Bald Crawford walked towards the center circle with the ball. What the outside world didn't know was that Crawford had decided to retire after the season, so this was also his final battle.
So he was also very serious.
Before the game started, he specifically called Zuo Li and Kobe, the two leaders of their respective teams, to the side and specifically told them to remain restrained, otherwise he would not hold back.
Many people think this seems a bit redundant, after all, the two have a good relationship.
But it is actually necessary, because both of them are guys who are absolutely serious about the game, and for the sake of victory, there is absolutely no such thing as good relationships in their eyes.
As a result, the two of them had already started trash talking to each other when they returned to the court.
"Are you ready for my kick in the ass, kid?"
"Oh, I hope you guys can really stop me, or you're going to be a crying Corvo after this is over."
