Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 147 The finals are here!

Boston, the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, was founded in 1630 and is considered one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States.

With just a few hundred years of history, it is already the oldest city. 90% of the cities in our country have something to say.

The total population of the Boston metropolitan area is more than 400 million, which is nearly one million more than the Seattle metropolitan area. It is considered one of the largest basketball markets in North America, only inferior to New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Celtics are the most famous local sports club. They have a history full of honors and great reputation. They are obviously not a blessed place for the SuperSonics.

The vast majority of people are not optimistic about the Sonics.

Magic, as one of the superstars known as the "Black and White" together with Bird, although he strongly supported Su Wen and the Sonics during the interview, he changed the subject at the end and believed that the Celtics had the last laugh. The probability is greater.

After all, they are old rivals and know each other's strength and intensity.

The magician said so. Except for the unruly Zhang Erwan, who was not found by reporters, other superstars and celebrities expressed their opinions in front of the interview camera.

No one knows where Zhang Erwan went to be romantic.

"The SuperSonics have good momentum, are young and energetic, and are worth learning from. However, the Celtics have a more complete lineup and better overall strength. I am optimistic about them."

Rick Barry said this in an interview.

"I am very optimistic about this young man Su Wen, who is very much like Jerry West back then. They both have the same strength, are both young, and can score like chopping melons and vegetables. But when it comes to winning chances, the Celtics Bigger.” When Elgin Baylor responded, he praised his old teammate without leaving any trace.

On the other hand, when Jerry West was interviewed, his style was different.

He did not respond to Baylor. Instead, he answered the reporter's question from another angle, "I am optimistic about the Sonics. They are the ones who beat us. What do you think?"

"Without a doubt, Celtic!"

Bill Russell vowed in response to reporters: "This Celtics, with its overall strength and every position in the lineup, I think is the strongest in the history of the league. SuperSonics? They are too young and lack the ability to compete in the finals. Waiting for the experience of the competition.”

The overall meaning is that he is more optimistic about the Celtics and the SuperSonics? Pay the tuition first.

After all, he is also a famous star of the Celtics. It would be crazy not to speak for this team, even though he is not that popular in Boston.

"You still have to ask? Definitely the Celtics." Tom Heinsohn, CBS Sports host Dick Stockton's old partner, replied.

Of course, based on his Celtics meritorious attributes, everyone can think of whom he supports.

League legends were caught for interviews, and the current superstars who placed bets on who would win the championship, except Magic, and other core players who did not enter the finals to compete for the championship, were naturally not spared by the meddling reporters.

"Of course I am optimistic about Su Wen." Dr. J had some troubles with Larry Bird during the regular season. He immediately said that he was more optimistic about Su Wen and the SuperSonics. "I am now optimistic about him leading the team to defeat the Celtics with 70 points in a single game. I still remember that night with the Celtics, he was great, the best young man I've ever seen."

The subtext is already clear, that is, as long as Su Wen can continue his 70-point performance, it will be easy to defeat the Celtics.

When Su Wen was staying in his hotel room in Boston and saw his interview footage on TV, he couldn't help but complain: Do you really want to tire me out?

If it was really so easy to score 70 points, how strong would Chamberlain have to be?

And what’s the deal with Danzi’s record of 10 scoring champions in the future?

"I'm optimistic about these young people in the Sonics."

At the end of the regular season, the outdated super center Bill Walton, who was abandoned by the Clippers and did not ask for a contract extension, said: "The SuperSonics lineup is young, has firepower, and is full of energy. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, especially the SuperSonics lineup. Their super core Su Wen.”

He seemed to be too optimistic about the Sonics and Su Wen, and he boasted about them as if they were free of charge.

have a future!

Su Wen gave Walton a thumbs up and a thumbs up, then asked Tom Chambers, who was watching TV with him, "Tom, do you think it's possible for us to sign him in the summer?"

"Sign Bill Walton?" Chambers opened his mouth and looked at Su Wen sadly, with an expression of 'don't you love me?', which made Su Wen's skin crawl.

But this was just a joke by Chambers. The latter smiled and said in the next second: "You can ask the management, what I said does not count."

"Ask them?"

Su Wen thought for a while, and he didn't know if he had the qualifications, but he felt that it would be a pity not to win Bill Walton, who is currently out of contract.

Walton is only 33 years old, and he was still the biggest contributor to the Portland Trail Blazers' championship that year, and his contract is not big.

Although he has been injured throughout his career and has great potential for injury, if he is signed, as a substitute at the fifth position, he will definitely make a difference.

Last season, he averaged less than 25 minutes per game with the Clippers, but he scored 10.1 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks, which was better than their main player Tim McCormick, who averaged 38 minutes per game. The performance is awesome.

If we can get him, he will definitely be the biggest addition to the Sonics' rotation.

Moreover, if there weren't too many injuries and his body was too fragile, he might not have been able to replace McCormick.

I'll have a chance to talk to Wilkens and see what they think.

Su Wen, who had a plan in mind, continued to watch TV.

After practicing against the Celtics all morning, he finished lunch and then watched TV comfortably with Chambers in the room, preparing to lie down and rest.

ESPN's interview camera continued to switch, and soon came to Danzi.

Danzi was caught by reporters on the street while he was on vacation.

This guy acted very impatient in front of the interview camera and seemed very reluctant to talk about Su Wen.

"Who do you like? Celtics, thank you! Please let me go, I'm going fishing!" After saying that, he pushed away the reporters and left without looking back, leaving behind a group of stunned interview and filming crews.

The camera flashed to a street bar in Philadelphia. The reporters seemed to be feeding Barkley a microphone, almost stuffing the microphone into each other's mouth.

Buckley was so drunk that his eyes were dim and his body was swaying slightly. He didn't realize what was happening in front of him. He separated the reporters and the filming crew and said, "Jean, I have to pee!"

Seeing him stumbling around, looking like he was about to walk into the alley to mark his mark, Su Wen almost burst out laughing.

It seems that this guy hasn't gotten over the depression of being eliminated from the Eastern Conference Finals by the Celtics.

A week ago, he cursed the 76ers on the phone with Su Wen, thinking that the old guys headed by Dr. J had no ambition and had not played well in any of the five games. of.

He, a rookie who just entered the league, was so angry.

Since then, he has not called Su Wen again. Apparently he has found another way to relieve his depression - going to the nightclub for the first time.

Secretly complaining about Barkley, the interview camera was still switching, and soon the interviewees became fans of both sides.

When interviewing Sonics fans, there was nothing to say. They were all a bunch of confident fans who were blindly optimistic about the home team and believed that the Sonics would win.

As for the Celtics fans, they maliciously belittled all members of the Sonics, saying, 'Who are the SuperSonics? We are the only wealthy team in the league. Su Wen yawned when he saw this.

Su Wen lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. He didn't even know when Chambers turned off the TV and left.

By the time I woke up, it was already sunset and it was time to get ready for dinner.

Generally, before playing games in the evening, the team will arrange some simple pre-game meals and provide some simple, easy-to-digest, high-energy foods.

Players can just eat a little bit to ensure they don't get hungry and run out of energy during the game.

Su Wen had some breakfast and went to the North Shore Garden Arena with his teammates.

"Hey, isn't that a Sonics player? Lulululu."

"That yellow-skinned monkey named Su Wen, go back to your country and eat bananas."

"Hey, you guys are going to lose tonight, you know? Go back to Seattle."

"The championship belongs to us, the Celtics. You guys have no chance, do you understand?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Along the way, we encountered groups of local wild monkeys. These wild monkeys ridiculed and ridiculed them, like clowns.

Su Wen's mentality was not affected. On the contrary, Chambers was laughed to the point where his veins popped out and he wished he could transform into a martial artist and go on a killing spree.

Walking into the North Shore Garden Arena, the atmosphere in the venue was full of excitement, filled with the fanatical atmosphere before the war.

In the auditorium, most of the fans wearing Green Army jerseys were lively, beating gongs and drums, and shouting slogans loudly, which directly drowned out the small group of Seattle fans who came from afar.

But there are only a few hundred Seattle fans who are still surviving tenaciously, shouting loudly and shouting slogans that the Sonics must win, as if they want to compete with the opponent.

They were all moved by Su Wen and waved in their direction.

Seeing Su Wen express his appreciation to himself and others, the fans were so excited that they roared louder and louder, almost overwhelming the Celtic fans.

Although the opposing fans around them glared at them, they were not afraid at all.

It's a pity that despite their efforts and fearlessness of life and death, they still failed to win the home team's victory tonight.

In this game, the Celtics were aggressive from the beginning. While the offensive end was fierce, the defensive end was full of energy. Almost every SuperSonics offense was forced into a positional battle and carried out. A more difficult end.

The SuperSonics' state and feel were neither good nor bad, but they played very passively and were completely suppressed throughout the game. At the end of the first half, they were already 43 points behind, 59:16.

In the second half, the Celtics defense went even crazier.

As soon as they saw that the Sonics were not in good shape in the first half, they defended harder and became more rough. Su Wen and others received special attention from them every time they held the ball, almost turning the game into a martial arts arena.

When Su Wen was attacking, in order to retaliate, he secretly punched McHale, which provoked the opponent to go berserk and immediately screamed that he wanted to give him a good look.

But as soon as the referee and teammates let him go, his momentum suddenly weakened. When his teammates pulled him again, he immediately became furious again and rolled up his sleeves to get started.

Su Wen looked at him the whole time, as if he was watching a monkey show.

In the end, the SuperSonics lost to the Celtics by 91 points, 109:18, giving their opponents a temporary advantage in the finals.

Tonight, Su Wen was in average form. He took 25 shots and hit 12 goals. He only scored 34 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

Under McHale's care, Chambers was even worse. He made only 18 of 5 shots, made 8 free throws, and scored 7 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 block.

The Celtics scored first.

In this way, two days later, on the evening of June 6, the two sides came to the second battle.
