Chapter 180 Dynasty!(1/2)
The finals tie-break.
Because it is the home court of Menglong, Kongbu is not too worried that the referee will make too outrageous penalties.
As long as it's not too outrageous, Menglong can definitely win.
Before the game started, Kongbu received a piece of news from general manager Silun.
The average ticket price for the Menglong tonight is as high as 350 US dollars. At such a high price, the supply exceeds the demand. The scalpers outside the arena have already made crazy profits.
The ticket revenue alone has reached 7 million US dollars, and this is only a small part of the total. The real big part comes from some merchandise sales and broadcast revenue.
The jerseys or sneakers of Tracy McGrady and other Men's players were still sold out even though Shalun had people stocking up on them before.
According to Shalun's calculation, just from this tiebreaker, the boss Bitov made a net profit of at least 50 million US dollars.
There is no way, the Menglong dynasty is about to be established, and it is the most exciting tie-break. You can imagine how popular it is.
Kongbu was secretly stunned when he heard this. No wonder Stern has been favoring the Lakers. Who wouldn't be jealous of such terrifying profitability.
…
The Zen master was in an extremely excited mood at this moment.
Kongbu destroyed his second dynasty, and now he has a chance to destroy Kongbu's first dynasty.
Although this round of the finals is quite controversial, even a blind man can see that the league is favoring the Lakers, but Zen Master doesn't care at all, history will only remember the name of the winner.
Everyone knows that Chamberlain once scored 100 points in a single game, but few people pay attention to how Chamberlain scored 100 points in that game.
As long as the Lakers can win the championship, history will remember that Kongbu destroyed the Bulls' second dynasty just as Jackson destroyed the first dynasty of Kongbu.
…
At eight o'clock that night, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.
When the Menglong entered the stadium, they received enthusiastic cheers from the home team fans, but when the Lakers players entered the stadium, they only received boos.
Menglong fans were also angry, angry that the league favored the Lakers, causing the finals that should have ended long ago to drag into a tiebreaker.
"beat!"
"beat!"
"..."
The fans chanted wildly to defeat the Lakers. This slogan came from the yellow-green war in the 1960s.
At that time, Green Kai faced the Philadelphia 76ers. Seeing that Green Kai could not advance and could not go to the finals to face the Lakers, Green Kai fans shouted the slogan "beat" at the 76ers, handing over the hope of defeating the Lakers to their opponents, the 76ers.
.
Later, this slogan gradually became popular and can be applied to any game against the Lakers. Anyway, as long as the Lakers are playing, shouting this slogan is always right.
In particular, Menglong fans were unhappy that the league favored the Lakers, so they shouted even more vigorously.
"Are you ready for the championship trophy? When I present the award later, let's take a photo together."
Of course Stern had to come to the scene tonight. Combo walked up to him and asked with a smile.
Stern looked embarrassed, and he could hear resentment in Kongbu's tone.
At the moment, the Menglong have not lost hope of winning the championship. If they really lose tonight, there may be more than just resentment in Kongbu's tone.
"Kong, I admire your confidence."
"But the game hasn't even started yet, and your confidence may turn into arrogance."
Stern also smiled and said that he didn't care about Kongbu's grievances at all. He had been scolded countless times after being in charge of the league for so many years, so he didn't care about this little grievance.
After a while, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The lineup given by Combs tonight is Ben, Dampier, Marion, McGrady and Payton, and Bus was placed on the bench.
After playing the first six games, Kongbu found that Dampier, who had three points, was very restrained by the Lakers, so he gave him a lot of playing time.
Due to free throws, Ben couldn't stay on the court all the time, so he was put on the court first, and then he was replaced after playing for a while.
Kongbu expected that this would be a battle between dragons and tigers, with the two sides fighting inextricably.
As a result, the situation after the opening was completely different from what he expected. The Lakers were already ten points behind in the first half of the quarter.
Glenn Rice, the team's third leading scorer, hit all his first two shots. In this round of the finals, he directly wiped out his worth.
In the first two games, he could only average 11 points per game, whether on the offensive or defensive end, and even the three-pointers he had always been good at were no longer good.
I don’t know if blacksmithing is contagious, and I don’t know whether it was Kobe who was infected by Laise, or Kobe who was contagious by Laise. Anyway, the Lakers’ perimeter group was all misfired.
Kobe Bryant went 1-for-3 and Lace went 0-for-2. If O'Brien hadn't gone 2-for-4, the situation for the Lakers would have been even worse.
Reflecting on the Menglong side, Marion made 2 of 2 3-pointers in the opening game, Dampier also made a three-pointer, and Tracy McGrady made 1 of 2. The offensive efficiency was very high.
Combu was extremely satisfied with Marion's performance.
A three-point calibration device was bound to him before, but when the device failed, Kongbu didn't tell him not to shoot three-pointers.
I don’t know if it’s because of the confidence and touch he gained in shooting in the previous month, but Marion’s three-pointers are not bad now. Especially in the finals, his three-pointers are much more accurate than before.
Some players are like this. They usually pretend to be dead, but rise up when the critical moment comes.
Marion belongs to this kind of player.
Master Zen called a timeout, hoping to use this timeout to cool down the hot touch of the Menglong players and allow his own players to regain their form.
But he soon regretted calling the timeout.
"What are you doing on the outside? You only scored two points in six minutes?"
"Let that first-year rookie, who looks like a baboon, score 8 points? Glenn, do you want to retire after this season?"
"And you, Kobe, do you think this is your team? Who gave you unlimited firing rights? You don't really think you are a star, do you?"
O'Neal was anxious. The most important thing he did in this round of the finals, besides shooting free throws, was to be anxious.
He was indeed right to complain. The Lakers' perimeter group did not perform well tonight, but the timing of his words was wrong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The one-year player who looks like a baboon in his mouth is naturally Marion. I have to say that this fat man’s mouth is really poisonous. Later, Howard and McGee
The dream demon in my heart is definitely this fat man.
Glenn Lace's face turned red with complaints.
He has more seniority than O'Brien, having entered the league in 1989. He was once the queen bee, and has many honors in his hands, including the All-Star MVP.
It's a pity that he can't open his mouth to argue with Ao Pang. On the one hand, he knows that his performance is indeed not good. On the other hand, he is looking forward to this championship. If he opens his mouth, it will only make things worse.
Kobe didn't have so many scruples. How could he endure it when he saw O'Fatty criticizing him by name?
"Now you want to blame our perimeter? If you had practiced your damn free throws, we would have defeated the Menglong in four games instead of dragging it to the tiebreaker!"
"If you hadn't taken those damn free throws, we would have been on the championship podium a week ago!"
"The seals in the aquarium can even perform shooting better than you!"
Kobe's mouth was also quite venomous, especially when he compared O'Fatty with the Seal who performed shooting, which completely angered O'Fatty.
"Shut up, everyone!"
"The game has just begun and we haven't lost yet!"
"If you want to win the championship, shut up now and pour your anger on Kongbu instead of your teammates."
"Shaq, this championship is extremely important to you. Without a championship, how can you compare with Olajuwon? At best, you can only be compared with Ewing."
"When Kobe and Michael face difficulties, his first thought is how to overcome them, rather than arguing with his teammates."
Zen Master yelled loudly, and his words slightly eased the tense atmosphere between the Lakers team.
But what he said was nonsense. Jordan was really thinking about how to overcome the difficulties first, but if his teammates disliked his low shooting percentage and high shooting rate, the first thing he would do would be to beat his teammates first.
After the timeout ends, the game restarts.
Although Kobe Bryant didn't continue to argue with O'Fay on the bench just now, he definitely didn't give in, so he still took action no matter what.
Glenn Lais has a much gentler temperament. After getting the ball, he also started to actively play ball for O'Pang.
The situation of the Lakers has been stabilized, but the difference still cannot be smoothed out.
Coupled with the fact that Kong Bu occasionally slightly chops O'Brien, the Lakers are basically in a state of slow death.
With two minutes left in the game, the Lakers trailed by 16 points.
Kongbu directly called a timeout. There were only two minutes left before the establishment of the dynasty. He didn't want the duck to fly away.
"You must slow down the attack rhythm and give me the time to waste it. Even if you don't score, you will still have to use up all the time in the attack round."
"Double-team the ball holder on the defensive end, and don't let the opponent commit an off-ball foul."
"Our offensive round is 24 seconds. No matter how fast the opponent's offensive round is, it can't be faster than 7 seconds. That offensive and defensive round is 30 seconds. They can take four to five shots at most!"
"Even if these five shots are all three-pointers, they are only fifteen points!"
Combs didn't dare to relax at all. You must know that Tracy McGrady has performed miracles. There is no guarantee that Kobe or Fisher on the Lakers will make some magic shots. Even Glen Rice, he is not without the ability to make magic shots.
It seems that Kong Bu is being overly cautious, but be cautious in sailing the ship of ten thousand years, especially at this extremely critical moment.
