Chapter 315 [The finals are coming]

The New York Knicks' fireworks lit up the sky in Cleveland, but many Cavaliers fans and James fans lost their way home in their eyes.

4:0 sweep!

For them, this was not only a shocking shame, but also deeply shaken their faith.

Can LeBron James, whom they think is their hope for the future, really still be useful? Can Cleveland really win the first championship trophy in history under the leadership of James?

LeBron James is really good, and using him with the No. 1 pick is definitely not a bad option. He brought unprecedented exposure to the small city of Cleveland, and he also brought the Cavaliers back to the Eastern Conference Finals. His ability can reach the forefront among all No. 1 picks in NBA history.

However, they can obviously have something better.

They had Susie once.

Since Suhi entered the NBA, he has led the team to the finals for three consecutive seasons.

If Su Xi had not been traded, could he have led the Cavaliers to create miracles?

After all, when he was in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers also had a strong record and stayed in the top half. The most important thing is that the elite soldiers who left the Cavaliers are all convinced by him, and Tony Batty is still following him.

So, he wrote a check for $100 million on the spot. He told reporters: "If we don't win two consecutive games at home, I will donate this million US dollars to the Chinese Welfare Foundation to improve the construction of basketball courts in rural schools in China."

Moreover, Thomas also said something else: "If we win and someone fails to live up to his wild words, I will also donate 100 million US dollars to the Chinese Welfare Foundation in the name of the basketball god Su Xi."

Who knew that Isiah Thomas had been waiting for Jordan to end the game.

Therefore, he thought that no one dared to bet with him.

However, his remarks were quickly addressed.

Equivalent to face riding output.

"Now, he has proven the strength of the Mavericks. But do you know how I rejected them at the time? I said, what you said is very good, but I will not choose you because you are too strong."

"I chose the Knicks because the Knicks are weak enough. I am a person who loves challenges. What's the point of winning the championship with a strong team?"

He wants to rise, he wants to complete his narrative, he wants to win a war.

Popovich is known as a famous coach. Does he dare to challenge Su Xi's remarks head-on?

Even if the Spurs would be unhappy after hearing Su Xi's words, they could only be secretly unhappy. Do they dare to show their teeth?

“It feels good to be back in the championship game again.”

Almost all of Jordan's escape routes were blocked.

Su Xi told the media proudly.

Jordan is rich.

Isiah Thomas is as confident as a greedy gambler.

No matter what the media will report next, in the hearts of Cavaliers fans, they already know very clearly that after this fiasco, LeBron James is no longer worthy of being compared with Susi. Susi has already held the ticket to challenge Jordan. , who else in active service can arm-wrestle with him?

Kobe?

But there must be no James name.

Duncan?

Moreover, neither the Dallas Mavericks nor the Spurs are the Cavaliers. The Knicks lack two inside players and the possibility of winning is extremely low.

These two sentences immediately exploded.

Maybe.

You can't disrespect him, you can't help but look up to him.

Michael Jordan said while playing golf, "I don't think it's possible for the Knicks to win two consecutive home games in the Finals. I'm willing to bet $100 million on anyone."

"Now, I took the Knicks to the Finals and swept them all the way."

"Why don't you bet $100? I bet we will win two consecutive games at home!"

He wants to use money to suppress his old rival.

Isiah Thomas's words directly launched a war against Jordan.

Not only did he lift Jordan up, he also hung him up and beat him.

"Mark Cuban is a good boss. He recruited me, he offered me a high salary, and he promised me a lot of things. He also said that as long as Nowitzki and I are together, we can beat the entire league. .”

What Su Xi shows now is not only strong, but also extremely strong.

Unfortunately, everything no longer exists. The glory belongs to New York, the glory belongs to the Knicks, and the glory belongs to Su Xi.

He doesn't dare!

He certainly wouldn't dare.

James has reached the peak of his career this season, but now he has also fallen to the lowest point of his career. Suzy locked his ceiling.

Suhi was interviewed by the sideline media. He told fans across the United States: "I am now looking forward to the Dallas Mavericks reaching the Finals. They are indeed stronger than the Spurs and more difficult to deal with. Moreover, I have defeated the Spurs once, and I will defeat them again. Not once will they give me a new sense of conquest.”

"I also proved myself."

In professional sports, the strong will get all respect.

But no one thought he was a jerk.

Maybe.

He has been the buffoon in Jordan's story for too long.

Therefore, Isiah Thomas said later: "Although our lineup is not complete now, and although we will lose the help from Zach and Eddie in the first two games of the finals, do you dare to despise us for this?"

As long as the Knicks won two home games, Jordan had to donate money, and even if he did, he would be embarrassed.

He originally wanted to show off and run away, but now he has to lose a lot of money if he fails to show off.

It has to be said that Isiah Thomas has recently read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Houheixue very clearly, and this move directly caused Jordan to lose his retreat.

Meanwhile, Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks also responded to Suhi.

He said in an interview: "Congratulations to Goat Susie for winning the Eastern Conference championship. He has always been the strongest NBA player in my heart. He has defeated O'Neal and Duncan. He is a superstar of this era."

"What he said is true. I did recruit him, and he did reject me because the Mavericks were too strong. At the time, I thought this reason was a bit ridiculous, until now I see the Knicks becoming the league's No. 1 team under his leadership. One, be the Eastern Conference champion.”

"But, I don't think he will have the last laugh. This year's championship will be the Mavericks."

"Like he said, we're going to beat the Spurs. And then we're going to take advantage of their inside disadvantage and eat them up."

"We won't let them transform into their full bodies."

Mark Cuban said.

He is very sincere.

He even said: "As long as the Dallas Mavericks win the championship, I personally and the Dallas Mavericks will each donate 100 million US dollars to a welfare foundation in China to renovate basketball facilities in rural schools in China."

In this wave, Mark Cuban's situation is full.

The Mavericks have always had a good relationship with Chinese players, and they have extended an olive branch to many Chinese players.

Now, Cuban has joined the bet and is not afraid to make Jordan more uncomfortable.

But China on the other side of the ocean has won.

They never expected that the finals would turn into a donation competition.

Isiah Thomas got off to a great start and then the responses started pouring in.

One million US dollars is not a small amount.

How many rural schools will get a brand new basketball court and brand new basketball hoops?

...

Although the Spurs were humiliated, their fans said on the Internet that Su Xi was arrogant and that the Spurs entering the finals must make him look good.

But they lost the Western Conference Finals.

They persisted until the sixth game, and then were shot by Nowitzki in the sixth game. Nowitzki undoubtedly reached the peak of his career. He scored 52 points in this game.

The toughness and strength he showed in this game make people dare not call him a softie anymore.

In fact, the guy who likes to call Nowitzki a softie doesn't seem to be that hard.

Nowitzki's statistics were highly praised by Su Xi, who immediately supported Nowitzki: "There is no doubt that he is the third forward in the league today. Second only to Randolph and Duncan." Su Xi He said this, of course, to promote Randolph, who is his teammate.

But the person hurt the most was Garnett.

Garnett and Duncan have always been called a moment of brilliance.

However, what does Duncan have in store for him and Garnett, who has been in the league for two years?

Now, he is definitely no match for Nowitzki.

Nowitzki led the team to the finals with a single core.

Su Xi's praise made this series less explosive, although everyone is strongly chasing the championship.

For Dallas and Nowitzki, they need this championship to achieve zero breakthrough. They need this championship to complete the upgrade of their historical status.

And for Knicks and Suzy.

The Knicks have been in decline for so many years, and they need a championship to tell the world that they have completed their revival.

At the same time, for Su Xi, the championship means that he officially gets the ticket to shoot Jordan.

He officially has his ticket to challenge the basketball gods.

Jordan is the most nervous person right now.

Because he has received the news that Nike is going to build a new factory for Su Xi and will give Su Xi an 8% dividend, which is more than his 5%.

Moreover, his brand has begun to be impacted by Su Xi, if Su Xi really rises strongly. Then, he will not only lose the title of the God of Basketball, but also lose a steady stream of income...the income will definitely decline.

And after reaching a certain point, there will be a crash.

After Nike swept the Cavaliers in Suzy, they were nervous enough to cry.

Because once Su Xi wins the championship, he will be the finals MVP.

Then it's over, they've worked in vain for another year.

This continuous compounding of accumulated rewards will destroy their cash flow.

...

The finals arrived as scheduled.

At Madison Square Garden, tickets have become a testament to the entire New York high society.

James Dolan is not a money-splitting boy. After he got the tickets for the finals, he directly raised the ticket price of the finals to the first level in history. If you come to Madison Garden Arena during the Finals, you can buy a mountaintop ticket for $2000.

This is the price in 2006.

In the hands of scalpers, it fetched $5000.

New Yorkers just have money.

On a normal day, you might be an elite on Wall Street, but now, you have to stay at the top of the mountain to watch the football game.

As for the front position, it is even more expensive.

You can't even get a seat in the front row with money, it depends on your status.

Some media have calculated that James Dolan will earn 50% more than the Lakers' three trips to the Finals with this trip to the Finals.

This is the strength of old-money.

Although Los Angeles has prospered, New York is the world's largest city.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and rich people carry loads of money in their cars.

beep!

The whistle sounded.

Game start.

These middle-class rich people in New York City began to shout at the top of their lungs. They shouted the pride of this city: the exclusive name of Suzy the Goat.

MVP!

MVP!

MVP!

The sound was amazing.

Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry sat on the sidelines in their suits, envious of their teammates who were able to play.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have beaten that bastard Mourning."

"If I had known, I would have endured O'Neal's provocation."

"This is so glorious. It's not worthwhile to miss the home court of the finals for such garbage."

"Tony Barty and Jerome should pay us emotional distress."

Snapped!

While the two were talking.

Jerome made a jump ball over Eric Dampier, the second center in the Western Conference.

The Mavericks' lineup at this time is: Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Stackhouse, Jason Terry.

The Mavericks have a very strong lineup. They have to defend and attack.

Most importantly, this is a true jump shooting team.

Junior General Johnson has allowed their chemistry to fully unleash.

After being trained in the Western Monster Room, their tactics are now at an extreme level.

It's definitely not something Cleveland can touch.

If the Knicks hope to kill Dallas with the same tactics they used to kill the Cavaliers, it is absolutely a fantasy.

Nowadays, basketball experts dare not make a conclusion because the background has been drawn too much. But behind their words, they still believe that the Mavericks have a greater chance of winning.

After all, they figured the Mavericks would come away with at least a win.

Larry Brown said in the commentary box: I think the China Welfare Foundation will get 400 million US dollars.

Because the Mavericks won the championship, the Mavericks Club and Mark Cuban will donate $200 million.

Isiah Thomas will donate $100 million whether he wins or loses.

Michael Jordan will also donate. Because I think the Knicks still have a chance to win one of the two home games.

In any case, China's rural primary school students won.

Larry Brown has a rare moment of humor.

Reggie Miller stood by to introduce the Knicks' starting lineup.

Hardaway, Susie, Jalen Rose, Tony Batty, Jerome James.

If this lineup was a year ago, people would say... they could reach the finals and sweep the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals. Anyone who knows a little bit about basketball will say you are a lunatic.

After all, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled all survived.

But now, they've done it.

Hardaway held the ball steadily and advanced.

Although Hardaway has lost his spirituality and has no physical talent, he is already a very qualified point guard and a tall point guard.

Next year, after his contract expires, there will still be teams offering contracts.

He has proven that he can still stay in this league.

Hardaway dribbled the ball across half court and passed the basketball to Jaylen Rose.

After Jaylen came out of suspension, he was entrusted with important tasks. He faced Stackhouse.

A player of his generation.

The playing style is also relatively similar.
