The longest river

Chapter 201 The Future Is Yours

Carlisle did not bring Yang Shuai on at this point, even though the Spurs had briefly taken the lead.

This fixed rotation made Popovich increasingly look down on the young coach.

In his view, the Trail Blazers' lead in the first quarter was simply due to Yang Shuai's strong individual ability.

Carlisle stuck to his rotation, hoping the team could build a lead in the second quarter, but the score was tied at 45 at halftime.

Duncan played the entire first half, and you could see many details of his physical exertion on the court, including wiping sweat, supporting his knees, and panting, but he always managed to do what he was supposed to do.

Ultimately, it's because his playing style leans towards a "ground-based" approach, making more use of his physical advantages and skills. In addition, his excellent strength and physical strength result in less energy expenditure, creating this amazing performance.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' other players improved their performance, but David Robinson of the Spurs also found his rhythm, hitting consecutive mid-range shots from the outside and even playing high-low post games with Duncan.

The score was tied at 75 after three quarters, remaining evenly matched.

Duncan was not substituted off the court until the last minute of the third quarter.

But when the fourth quarter started, he was substituted back into the game by Popovich.

This is truly a case of fucking someone to death if they can't be fucked to death.

However, it was precisely this method of use by Popovich that allowed Carlisle to seize an opportunity in the final quarter.

When both teams' starters returned and the game entered its decisive phase, Carlisle made a substitution, replacing Billups with Walter Williams.

Immediately afterwards, the Trail Blazers began to actively increase their pace.

Instead of sticking to the original positional defense and counter-attack model, they used some risky defense to force the Spurs to take quick shots and then actively speed up the pace of the game.

It's not surprising that Carlisle would use this tactic. Back when the Pacers couldn't compete with the Bulls in half-court sets, it was he who suggested playing fast-paced offense and defense.

The Trail Blazers couldn't do that last season because Billups wasn't good at that style of play, and having Yang Shuai handle the ball and play as the main playmaker would have exhausted Yang Shuai's stamina first.

With Pippen joining the team this season, things have naturally changed.

However, Carlisle did not intend to defeat the Spurs with this tactic. The Spurs' twin towers both have playmaking abilities, and playing like this throughout the game would only be exploited by the Spurs.

The reason he used it at this point was to target Duncan's physical condition.

Soon, Duncan began to clearly fall behind the pace.

Rapid offensive and defensive warfare consumes far more physical energy than positional warfare.

Despite his many advantages, Duncan only rested for one minute throughout the entire game.

Yang Shuai fully utilized his fast-break ability in this fast-paced offensive and defensive battle, frequently showcasing powerful fast-break dunks.

The Trail Blazers quickly pulled away from the score.

At this point, even if Popovich stood on the sidelines and flew into a rage, it would be to no avail.

He looked down on Carlisle from beginning to end, but in the end Carlisle found his weakness.

Ultimately, after three quarters of intense battle, the Trail Blazers pulled off a high-speed surge in the final quarter to seal the victory.

The Trail Blazers won their opening home game 95-88.

杨帅在自己的MVP之夜出场了40分钟，得到38分6板5助攻3抢断。

邓肯全场打了47分钟，得到27分13板3助攻5盖帽。

"I don't know, the coach told us to play faster, and then we won."

At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked Yang Shuai about the key to her victory, Yang Shuai answered sincerely.

If it were Bird, he would probably say something like, "We were just running a little too fast, we didn't expect them to be unable to keep up."

However, Carlisle is not Bird, so Yang Shuai is just pretending for him.

"Duncan will one day become the best power forward in the league, but Hansen is the MVP."

Carlisle then summarized the performances of Yang Shuai and Duncan tonight.

The second day, Game 1 between the Wizards and the Pacers also ended.

The result of the game was once again unexpected, with the Pacers defeating the Wizards 104-98 on the road.

Jordan scored 41 points, but the Pacers had multiple players contributing.

Jermaine O'Neal's performance was particularly outstanding, scoring 24 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and blocking 4 shots, completely dominating Juwan Howard on the opposing team.

As it turns out, Jermaine O'Neal was exceptionally talented, and after receiving careful guidance from Larry Bird, his growth was remarkably rapid.

Will Jordan be kept out of the Finals?
This doesn't seem impossible.

Furthermore, if the Pacers ultimately emerge victorious from the Eastern Conference, then Yang Shuai will face his former team in the Finals, making for a highly anticipated matchup.

A day later, the Trail Blazers and Spurs continued their Game 2 matchup in Portland.

Having learned his lesson, Popovich learned his lesson in Game 2 after being "taught a lesson" by Carlisle. He gave Duncan a full four minutes of rest in the first half.

只是开拓者队在G2的比赛状态明显要比G1好，半场结束的时候他们以53比38领先了马刺队15分之多。

Will the Trail Blazers sweep the Spurs?

Ernie Johnson couldn't resist opening a bottle of champagne during halftime.

The situation in Game 2 is much better for the Trail Blazers.

However, right after he popped the champagne at halftime, the Spurs launched a desperate counterattack in the second half.

One aspect that often goes unnoticed is that, despite both being sweeps, the Spurs and Jazz have completely different playing styles compared to the Trail Blazers and Lakers.

The Spurs didn't win many games, and even trailed in the first half in two games, but they always managed to win in the end.

This team doesn't have the scoring explosiveness of the Trail Blazers, but their resilience in the game is beyond imagination.

Moreover, Popovich's previous statement was the most hypocritical. In the two years before Duncan tanked, this Spurs team had a record of 62 wins, ranking first in the West, and 59 wins, ranking second in the West.

They were already one of the top teams in the West. With Duncan fully integrating into the team and several key signings, their strength was no less than that of the Trail Blazers.

As their lead was gradually eroded, the Trail Blazers became visibly flustered.

Not everyone can maintain their composure and play against the odds in this kind of situation; the Trail Blazers are essentially still a young team.

The team's only two veterans are Sabonis, whose performance has declined significantly due to age, and Pippen, who is not a player who can play in clutch situations, not to mention his current offensive form is not good.

Suddenly, the Trail Blazers were left relying solely on Yang Shuai's scoring to keep the team in the game.

Fortunately, Yang Shuai is strong enough now.

The two teams were tied at 83 in the final minute.

Yang Shuai displayed MVP-caliber performance in the final moments, breaking through a double team with 9 seconds left and hitting a mid-range shot over Duncan's help defense for the game-winning shot.

However, in the final moments of the game, Elliott, who was in excellent form throughout the match, received a pass from Johnson, dodged Pippen's tackle, and then hit a game-winning three-pointer over Wallace's help defense.

The Spurs won 86-85, pulling one back in the series.

Yang Shuai scored 40 points in a losing effort.

邓肯23分12板2助攻5盖帽发挥稳定，埃利奥特三分球7投6中得到22分。

The best thing Popovich did in this series was not to let Elliott wear down Young on the defensive end, which ultimately paid off handsomely.

After the first two games, both teams will travel to San Antonio to continue their two matches.

Losing Game 2 means losing home-court advantage, and the situation is not optimistic for the Trail Blazers.

On the very day of his departure, an uninvited guest arrived at Yang Shuai's home.

"Mr. Walton?"

Yang Shuai was quite surprised to see Bill Walton and quickly invited the Trail Blazers legend into the living room.

Despite the fact that the other person was dressed somewhat strangely.

A red, green, and blue striped shirt, paired with a tie, and an outer shirt without a collar—that reminded Yang Shuai of Craig Seger, whom he had met during the draft.

Yang Shuai is not unfamiliar with Walton; he first met him in 1996 when the Cleveland All-Star Game held the "NBA 50 Greatest Players" event.

When he was recovering from injury in Portland last season, Walton visited him at home.

Then, after the MVP night game, Walton came down from the commentary booth and congratulated him a lot.

However, their interactions were ultimately limited: their different eras and positions meant they never had the opportunity for in-depth exchanges.

Of course, despite the surprise, he still has great respect for Walton.

Walton led his team to the championship and won the Finals MVP in his fourth year in the league, and won the MVP in his fifth season. Back then, he was just as popular as Yang Shuai is now.

If it weren't for injuries that brought him to a rapid decline, ending his career at ten seasons, he would have had a chance to be among the top ten in history.

During the 2007 draft, the media touted Oden as a combination of Russell and Chamberlain, but that description actually applied more to Walton.

What Walton said after sitting down stunned Yang Shuai.

"When I watch you play, I feel satisfied with my life, I feel content with the world, and I believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for."

"I'm so happy for you, so happy for the Trail Blazers, so happy for the NBA, so happy for the whole world, and I hope that continues forever."

The king of trash talk, a master of excessive praise, and the "Cat Three" of the commentary world—these are all ways outsiders describe Walton's commentary style.

However, when an NBA legend sat across from Yang Shuai and showered him with praise, he still felt a little embarrassed.

He also keenly realized that nothing comes from nowhere, not even flattery.

"Hansen, do you still think the Trail Blazers are the better team than the Spurs?"

Sure enough, as their conversation deepened, Wharton brought up something.

This is a quote that Popovich once made, and it's also something that Yang Shuai jokingly used in his MVP acceptance speech.

Yang Shuai nodded.

Although the Trail Blazers lost Game 2, the outcome of one game will not make him criticize his teammates.

"If you still think that way, I think you should give your teammates more trust at the start of the game."

When the Trail Blazers had a bad start in Game 1, Walton's analysis from the commentary booth was that Pippen and Wallace should step up, but in the end the Trail Blazers turned the tide thanks to Yang Shuai's individual ability.

Although he won that match, he still stuck to his opinion.

"We might not have that kind of opportunity against the Spurs."

Yang Shuai did not disagree with Walton's statement and knew that basketball is a team sport.

But he knew the Spurs were a historic championship team, and if he didn't step up his game early, the Trail Blazers would be on the back foot from the start.

"Why do you think the Wizards lost to the Pacers?" Walton suddenly changed the subject.

"The Pacers played more as a team." As a former Pacers player, Yang Shuai is well aware of their winning formula.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze.

The two questions may seem different, but the answers point to the same core contradiction.

"Hansen, even if it takes some time for the teammates to get into the game, a basketball game is 48 minutes long, isn't it?" Walton continued.

Saying Walton is a combination of Russell and Chamberlain isn't entirely accurate; he's more like a Jokic with a defensive edge.

In an era when centers were primarily responsible for scoring or defense, he averaged 5 assists per game in the season he won the MVP award.

He was the team's best player, yet he chose to trust his teammates, which led the Trail Blazers to their first championship in franchise history. This is the only piece of advice he can give to Yang Shuai.

Yang Shuai fell into deep thought.

He thought about many things, even a news story related to James.

Richard Jefferson once reflected on his Cavaliers career in an interview, and what he felt most was that he didn't get many opportunities in the first three quarters, but had to make the key shots in the last quarter.

These two things are not necessarily related, but they have one thing in common: since he decided to handle the game himself from the beginning, how could he expect his teammates to help him?
He got some things backwards, things that Jordan himself didn't realize even after switching teams.

"Thank you, Bill."

Yang Shuai stood up and reached out to thank Walton.

"I heard about your idea of ​​parading the Roses as champions, and I hope to see that day," Walton said with a smile, shaking hands with Yang Shuai.

Two days later, Game 3 between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs took place at the Spurs' home arena, the Alamo Dome.

The stadium's second-floor stands were mostly open, with an estimated 35000 fans in attendance. Huge banners on both sides further highlighted the Spurs' home-court advantage.

The last time Yang Shuai saw such a scene was when he first entered the league, when the All-Star Game was held here that year.

Playing ball here always gives you a sense of spaciousness, like being outdoors.

Having come back to win Game 2, the Spurs are riding high on morale, and their offense is on fire from the start.

Surprisingly, Yang Shuai did not start scoring early as he had in the previous two games.

Of course, he wasn't standing with his hands on his hips on the weaker side to restrain him.

He was still attacking with the ball, but he was using his position to draw defenders and create opportunities for his teammates.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers 24-16.

The fans at the stadium were in incredibly high spirits. If they could win both home games, they would likely make it to the finals for the first time in franchise history.

That's right. Although the Spurs have had "Iceman" Gervin and "The Admiral" Robinson, and have been a strong team in the Western Conference in recent years, they have never made it to the NBA Finals in their history.

Moreover, the Wizards may not make it to the Finals now, so they have a good chance to win the championship in one fell swoop.

By then, Popovich's assertion that Duncan deserves the MVP award will be widely accepted.

In competitive sports, the winner takes all; as long as you win, everything you say is right.

However, when the camera focused on Popovich, his face didn't show any excitement; instead, he appeared quite worried.
This left the fans at the scene somewhat confused.

Until the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers, led by Wallace and Pippen, began to quickly close the gap. Yang Shuai successfully got his teammates into the game in the first quarter, and that ultimately paid off during this bench-heavy stretch.

This time, Popovich not only frowned, but also couldn't sit still. He got up and paced back and forth on the sidelines.

This presents him with a dilemma: if he doesn't play Duncan, the Spurs will be at a disadvantage; but if he does play Duncan, Carlisle's tactics from Game 1 will be repeated in the final quarter.

Just as Popovich was struggling with the decision, Wallace made a signature straight-arm shot, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

With a heavy heart, he had no choice but to bring Duncan back onto the court.

He could only hope that the Trail Blazers' performance would fluctuate, or that the Spurs could stabilize the situation at the end of the quarter.

However, the game did not go as he had hoped.

Although Duncan's return helped the Spurs temporarily stabilize the situation on the court, the Trail Blazers played better and better after their starters returned.

At halftime, the Trail Blazers, playing away, led the Spurs 48-40.

Popovich is right, the Trail Blazers are the better team than the Spurs.

Having weathered the first two rounds of competition, the Trail Blazers, now possessing the heart of a champion, have more than just theoretical strength.

After halftime, the Spurs once again demonstrated their resilience and launched a counterattack.

However, they were not as successful as in the previous game this time, because Yang Shuai turned on his scoring mode in this quarter.

In any game, closing the gap is built on consistent scoring and successful defense. The Spurs did the same in their last game, shutting down Young in the third quarter and holding off the Trail Blazers.

However, tonight, the Trail Blazers' other offensive options also opened up, and even if the Spurs tried to shut down Young again, they still wouldn't be able to contain the Trail Blazers' offense.

Yang Shuai scored 16 points in this quarter alone, and under his leadership, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 15 points by the end of the third quarter.

Now Popovich doesn't need to worry about the Trail Blazers speeding up the game in the final quarter, because the outcome is basically decided at this point.

Ultimately, the Trail Blazers defeated the Spurs 94-80 on the road, taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

Yang Shuai only scored 26 points, but he delivered 11 assists.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Shuai gave a self-criticism in front of reporters.

"In the past two games, I was too focused on solving problems with my own abilities, so much so that I forgot how good my teammates were. I'm grateful to Coach Popovich for reminding me of that."

To be honest, Yang Shuai still had some doubts after talking with Walton.

But he fully understood after the match.

Because his current teammates are excellent enough and eager to win, he can completely hand the game over to them first.

Even if they might be in a passive situation at the beginning, there are 48 minutes in the game, and they will always find a chance to turn the tide.

He only needs to step up and seal the victory at certain crucial moments, like in the third quarter tonight.

This is also the model in which the Trail Blazers can currently unleash their full potential.

When it was the Spurs' turn for a press conference, a reporter relayed Yang Shuai's words to Popovich, and Popovich looked at the reporter with a murderous glare.

Yang Shuai's words were already quite hurtful, but the bigger issue for him was the Trail Blazers' performance tonight.

He didn't have many tactics, but he did have some tricks up his sleeve.

He said those things before the series started to provoke Yang Shuai and force Yang Shuai into individual singles matches, so that he would only need to think about how to target Yang Shuai.

But now, with the Trail Blazers firing on all cylinders, and when he doesn't know which key player to guard, his lack of tactical ability is fully exposed.

Popovich looked down on Carlisle, but in fact, if Carlisle had coached the Spurs, would the Spurs have never even won a dynasty?
Just after the Trail Blazers took a 2-1 lead, the Wizards won two straight games in the Eastern Conference Finals to take a 2-1 lead. It seems that the Wizards have fallen into a situation where they can't play well unless they are behind.

However, this has changed the situation 180 degrees, making it much more likely that the Trail Blazers and Wizards will meet in the Finals.

A day later, Game 4 between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs continued at the Alamo Dome.

Popovich didn't think about anything this time and went back to his relentless focus on Duncan.

This tactic proved effective immediately, with the Spurs and Trail Blazers locked in a stalemate until the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Billups again to speed up the pace, but this time the Spurs preferred to play 24 seconds rather than rush the offense.

Popovich is trying to forcefully slow down the pace.

However, that didn't work very well. The key to a defensive counter-attack is the success rate of positional warfare, and forcibly limiting the time to 24 seconds obviously cannot achieve that goal.

And even more crucial is Yang Shuai.

Yang Shuai, who only scored 18 points in the first three quarters, came alive in the final quarter. Whether it was fast break or half-court offense, he made the Spurs' defense helpless, scoring 17 points in the quarter alone.

At this point, Duncan, who was already exhausted, was unable to match up with Yang Shuai.

The Trail Blazers won 98-88, taking a 3-1 lead in the series.

When the Spurs were leading in the first quarter of Game 3, Spurs fans were still dreaming that they could hold on for two home games, win the series 3-1, and then advance to the Finals to win the championship and reach the pinnacle of team history.

However, after four games, the score is indeed 3-1, but they are the ones trailing.

The fantasies of the past are ultimately just a pipe dream, or something that can only happen in some parallel universe.

"Before the playoffs started, I felt that the Trail Blazers lacked a championship mentality. Even though they swept the Lakers, I still felt that they were missing something. But now, they have found their championship mode."

When the game ended, Ernie Johnson sighed from the commentary booth.

In Game 5 of the series, Duncan exploded in the face of adversity, playing the entire game and racking up a near triple-double of 35 points, 21 rebounds, and 7 assists. He single-handedly destroyed the Trail Blazers' interior defense, helping the Spurs to win 87-83 and pull one back.

However, after being repeatedly and brutally beaten, Duncan was clearly at his limit in Game 6.

开拓者队在杨帅27分8板11助攻的带领下势不可挡，以103比83大胜马刺队，4比2淘汰对方挺进总决赛。

After the game ended, the Spurs fans in the arena lingered for a long time.

They reached out and applauded their own players.

Although they ultimately lost the game, the Spurs have raised high expectations for this season.

Especially Duncan, who is only a sophomore this year, but his performance in the paint is already dominant.

If they can further strengthen their perimeter game, their chances will be even greater next season.

After the match, the two sides shook hands.

When Yang Shuai shook hands with Duncan, she noticed that Duncan's eyes were a little red.

I always heard people say that Duncan was naturally ditzy, and even when he was on the court, his emotions rarely showed any fluctuations.

But Duncan is human after all, and humans can't be without emotional fluctuations, especially Duncan's mentality. He can miss an opportunity one year and then come back strong the next.

So seeing Duncan like this, it's hard for Yang Shuai not to feel emotional.

Moreover, he knew that although the Spurs had never achieved a dynasty in history, winning championships in odd-numbered years was their hallmark.

After shaking hands, he couldn't help but pat Duncan on the shoulder, and then almost instinctively blurted out a word of encouragement:
"The future is yours!"

Theoretically speaking, Yang Shuai will not turn 22 until the Finals this year, which is one year younger than Duncan, who will turn 23 in April.

But he was, after all, a fourth-year player, while Duncan was only a second-year player.

Moreover, Yang Shuai won the MVP this season, so he is obviously qualified to say that.

Duncan didn't feel insulted at all. He nodded and then reached out to hug Yang Shuai.

Right after the two hugged, Yang Shuai couldn't help but smile and say:
“But it’s mine now.”

It's said that the more unattainable something is, the more you want it; he really wanted to earn some points from Duncan.

However, the system notification sound still did not ring in his mind.

Duncan, however, was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Well, making Duncan laugh is a success in itself.

Yang Shuai and Carlisle attended the post-match press conference together.

"If this year's MVP goes to Duncan, I don't think there will be any problem. He is the strongest opponent I have ever faced."

When asked about Duncan's performance, Yang Shuai gave it extremely high praise.

Although the two didn't communicate much, Yang Shuai had played so many games, and Duncan, who was both talented and low-key, was the kind of player that people couldn't dislike.

Yang Shuai said those words at the press conference because he admired Duncan, but they still caused some controversy after the game.

Because even if the MVP wasn't Yang Shuai's, it should have been Jordan's, not Duncan's. Yang Shuai is showing that he doesn't respect Jordan.

Moreover, Yang Shuai's move was also seen as a mockery of O'Neal, implying that Duncan could never compare to O'Neal.

Yang Shuai could only chuckle.

Putting the MVP award aside, he genuinely felt that O'Neal couldn't compare to Duncan.

Just based on this one point, O'Neal was swept so many times in his career, which makes him a step behind Duncan.

It's no exaggeration to say that without Kobe, Shaq's Lakers career wouldn't have even made it out of the Western Conference, let alone won a championship.

When the Trail Blazers returned to Portland after the game, Paul Allen personally went to the airport to pick them up.

He also let Yang Shuai ride in the same car with him.

In the car, Yang Shuai could clearly feel the joy in Allen's eyes.

Allen is genuinely happy.

He thought that after Drexler left, the Trail Blazers would never make it to the Finals again.

Unexpectedly, the Trail Blazers have made a comeback after only 7 years, and this time their chances of winning the championship seem even greater than the previous two times.

That "nighttime visit to Marshal Yang" was truly the best decision he ever made in his life.

Even his impromptu addition of a 5% stake in the team proved to be entirely worthwhile.

Yang Shuai was quite surprised after chatting with Allen the whole way.

He realized he had underestimated Allen's love for basketball, which could be described as fanatical.

However, from another perspective, if a top global billionaire in his 40s isn't passionate enough about his hobbies, then his life might truly be devoid of any joy.

Perhaps feeling Allen's enthusiasm, Yang Shuai also felt his blood boiling.

“Mr. Allen, I once said that I would bring a championship to Portland, and I think that will happen this year.”

Allen's face, which was full of joy, paused for a moment, and then it seemed to explode with joy.

Yang Shuai felt that if he weren't in the car, he would definitely jump up.

"If that's the case, I will worship you."

After the initial excitement, Allen made his promise.

The first time of anything is always the most beautiful and anticipated, and this was also true for Allen's first championship after buying the team.

The Western Conference games have ended, but the Eastern Conference games are still ongoing.

The day after the Trail Blazers advanced to the Finals, the Wizards, leading 3-2, faced the Pacers in Game 6 at City Square Garden.

Similar to the Lakers' situation, this is also the Pacers' last home game in this arena. Next season they will move to the new Conseco Arena.

Yang Shuai watched the live broadcast of the match at home.

Despite trailing by a large margin, the Pacers remained highly motivated.

Jermaine O'Neal continued to dominate Howard in the paint, and the Pacers took an early lead.

They look very likely to force a Game 7 against the Wizards, just like they did against the Bulls last season.

The two sides battled fiercely until the fourth quarter.

However, when the decisive moment arrived, the familiar Jordan returned.

As Yang Shuai watched Jordan enter the "zone" on the live stream, he couldn't help but sigh. This old guy is so old, yet he can still get in. He's really a bit abnormal.

However, the Pacers are really resilient, and they have Miller, who seems to never age, just like Jordan.

Miller's buzzer-beating three-pointer helped the Pacers completely tie the game.

But Jordan turned around and drove to the basket, drawing a foul from Jermaine O'Neal.

Jordan made both free throws, giving the Wizards a crucial two-point lead.

Fortunately, there is still time in the game.

The Wizards focused all their defense on Miller, and the ball eventually ended up in Jermaine O'Neal's hands.

Jermaine O'Neal drove hard to the basket, but as he broke through, he was helped by Michael Jordan, lost control of the ball, and it went out of bounds.

The fans at the scene held their heads in disbelief.

When the camera focused on Jermaine O'Neal, Yang Shuai sensed that O'Neal looked like he was about to cry.

With this offensive and defensive maneuver, he paid a heavy price for his youth.

The Pacers were forced to foul Jordan.

Jordan made both free throws and won the game.

At this moment, Indiana fans must be missing Yang Shuai very much.

After a series of ups and downs, the Wizards and the Trail Blazers finally met in the NBA Finals that year.

Yang Shuai and Jordan met again after switching teams, and this time it was on the stage of the NBA Finals.

Director, script supervisor, lighting technicians, and cinematographers are all in place. Please begin your performance!
