Chapter 239 The smell of gunpowder
June [-]rd, seven o'clock in the evening.
Inside the Staples Center, there was a lot of voices.
None of the more than 9000 seats was vacant, and the VIP room on the middle floor was packed with fans.
The big screen in the center frequently gave the audience close-ups. When the camera swept over the seats on the sidelines, Jennifer Lawrence, Jay Chou, Xiao Jingteng, Wu Kequn, Emma Watson, Emma Roberts, JACKMA and other big names appeared one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next game will be the Los Angeles Clippers starter..."
The live announcer Ralph Lawler's voice sounded, and the audience followed suit and cheered, standing up and applauding one after another.
"The first one to play is, seven-foot center, DeAndre Jordan from Texas!"
The cheers exploded, and Jordan ran out of the player channel with solid steps, waving frequently.
After him, followed by Davis, Barnes and Randolph, cheers wave after wave.
"NOW! Please welcome the six-foot-three guard, the winner of the best rookie player, the best first-team player, the All-Star ticket leader, the rookie single-game scoring record holder, and the regular season MVP, Su Susu from China and Stanford..."
"Yeah..." The cheers in the arena reached the peak, as if the spacecraft had reached the third speed in the universe.
A huge focused beam shone on the player tunnel, and Su Yang ran out calmly, as if nothing had happened.
With endless cheers, Su Yang went straight to the middle circle and stood still, then took the microphone handed over by the staff.
He raised his hand to signal, and the audience suddenly fell silent, and even the security personnel standing in the aisle turned their eyes to him.
"Good evening, everybody!"
"Welcome to the Staples Center and welcome everyone to come and support our game!"
"It doesn't matter if you're a Clippers fan, or a Lakers fan, or just a fan of the fun."
"I'm here to assure you that I will give you a super fun night, I will let you witness the victory in this game, and I will let you see that a brand new championship banner will appear on this Arena!"
After Su Yang finished speaking, he put down the microphone, turned around and walked towards the bench, and the lights around the arena were turned on.
The cheers resounded through the audience again, and the shouts of MVP gradually spread from point to point, and finally the audience shouted in unison.
...
High-level stands, CCTV5 live seats.
"CCTV, CCTV, viewers and friends, welcome to watch the 2010 NBA Finals broadcast for you, the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Boston Celtics game at home. I am the commentator Yu Jia. "
"Hi everyone, I'm Zhang Weiping, the commentator."
"This is the first time the Clippers have entered the finals, and it is also the first time a Chinese player has played in the finals as a starter. When we interviewed Su Yang in the locker room just now, he was also very emotional when he mentioned this. Finally, he has come to where he is today." step."
"Yes, how many years have you said? We can also see our own players running on the field. The feeling is completely different from the finals of previous years. This time I especially want the Clippers to win. In the past, anyone can win. Anyway, let's see."
"According to the pre-match analysis, the probability of the Clippers winning the game is very high. According to the voting results of 21 ESPN experts, 19 of them think that the Clippers will win, and the probability of Su Yang winning the FMVP is 100%. "
"That's for sure, how do we say the old saying, the sky is full of wizards, and the rookie led the team to the NBA Finals in the first year. This is quite rare in NBA history. The Clippers team has undergone a leap forward because of him. .”
"The only thing we need to worry about is off-court factors. We asked about it during the interview before the game, especially the speech of Boston Celtics coach Rivers, but all the Clippers players, including the management, ignored it. "
"Hey, there's never been a problem in the Clippers' locker room. Everyone supports Su Yang. Who would make trouble?"
"Okay, the game is about to start..."
...
On the field, the Clippers bench.
The players stood in a circle, and Van Gundy said impassionedly: "Do you remember our first game this season? At that time, the Lakers held the championship ring awarding ceremony, and we could only sit in the locker room and pretend not to be affected...
Now, we have the opportunity to win the championship ring, as long as we do our best, we can also hold the championship ring awarding ceremony in the first game of next season, and we will also be championship players, LETS GO!"
After the words fell, Su Yang raised his right hand high.
Barnes and others joined hands with him one after another, and the whole team shouted in unison: 123, Go Clippers.
Su Yang took the lead into the court, and soon, the starting players of the two teams stood around the middle circle.
In terms of lineup, point guard Davis vs. Rondo, shooting guard Su Yang vs. Ray Allen, small forward Barnes vs. Pierce, power forward Randolph vs. Garnett, center Jr. Jordan vs. Bynum, coach Van Gundy To Rivers.
Accompanied by the applause of the audience, the referee Joe Crawford held the ball and walked to the middle circle, raising his left hand as a signal.
Seeing this action, Jordan and Perkins officially bent their knees and squatted slightly, and the other players also prepared themselves.
I saw Crawford holding the ball with both hands and throwing it upwards suddenly. Jordan and Perkins followed suit and jumped to compete.
Snapped!The basketball flew to the Celtics half court.
Rondo picked up the basketball, raised his hands above his head, and slammed it on the floor like a horn.
"booo..." The audience booed suddenly, and many spectators continued to stand, and the momentum grew stronger.
Rondo took the ball across the center line, raised his hand and smacked it to Pierce, and rushed straight to the basket.
Pierce took the ball, turned around and wiped away Barnes who was trying to steal, and rushed straight to the right wing position.
The Clippers have not yet set up a defensive formation at this time, Randolph is firmly on the heel to defend Garnett, and Davis, who was originally responsible for man-marking Rondo, moved laterally from the free throw line and tried to help Barnes gain time to return to defense .
That once thought, Pierce kept his feet, rushed to his right elbow to kick off the ground, and passed the ball to the basket.
Randolph and Jordan quickly shrunk and intercepted, but Rondo took the ball and started to pick up the basket and hit the rebound steadily.
boom!The basketball bounces into the net.
The Celtics took the lead, leading 2-0.
Barnes raised his hand to signal that he made a mistake, he shouldn't be so anxious to try to steal, a little underestimated Pierce's concentration.
Su Yang clapped his hands: "NO MATTER, LETS KEEP GOING!"
Offensive and defensive transitions, Davis took the ball from the bottom line and advanced.
Rondo approached the defense directly. Seeing this, Su Yang stepped forward to cover, and Davis bypassed and passed the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt.
Barnes received the ball and held it high, turned his head back and forth to look twice, and chose to pass the ball to the right waist.
Randolph caught the ball with his back, then turned to face the basket, and took a triple threat position with his left foot as the pivot.At the same time, Barnes rushed to the basket with a stride, ready to go to the short corner and give Su Yang a cover.
Randolph took the ball to test for a while, and seeing Garnett's defense as stable as the Andes, he raised his hand and passed the ball outside.
Davis took the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and then divided the left wing. Su Yang just used the cover to go around and catch the ball.
Ray Allen was delayed, and his follow-up speed was slow, and a wide-open three-point opportunity appeared.
Su Yang adjusted his body shape and was about to make a quick shot when the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.
Su Yang stopped his movements, followed the referee's gaze to the baseline, and saw that Barnes was playing hug wrestling with Pierce.
On the Celtics side, Garnett, Perkins, and Rondo rushed up and surrounded the two who were hugging and wrestling.
On the Clippers side, Davis and Randolph also rushed up, and suddenly men added men, and the scene was chaotic.
Joe Crawford blew his whistle crazily, tried his best to push aside the crowd, and stepped back with his back against Barnes.
There was a lot of booing in the arena, and Zhang Weiping suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's only been about 20 seconds since the start, and Barnes is fighting Pierce..."
