Lian Dao woke up the next day and saw that, sure enough, public opinion was abuzz.

Two groups of fans, those who support him and those who oppose him, have started a war of words online.

Post bars, forums, websites, social platforms...

There are battlefields between the two groups of fans everywhere, and Lian Dao's speech at last night's press conference directly overshadowed the popularity of the finals itself.

However, this also attracted the attention of a large number of passers-by who do not like basketball.

Even some celebrities came forward to join in the fun.

Jay Chou: That's cool. I support sickle. Just because other teams can't sweep it doesn't mean the Knicks can't do it. I support you, sickle!

Netizen: Jay Chou is an Asian magician. I didn’t expect that my idol and I like the same person, [Spreading Flowers].

Boss Yang: I don’t pay much attention to NbA, but I follow sickle. I like sickle so much. He’s so handsome. Come on!

Netizen: Ahhh, goddess, you also like to watch NbA and sickle. I have found a common hobby with the goddess.

Lao Hu: I watched the two games in the finals. It was great. Sickle and the Knicks are so strong. I believe he can defend the title!

Netizen: Damn it, it’s Lao Hu, he actually bubbled up, it’s really rare, I didn’t expect Lao Hu to be a fan of sickle.

…

Domestic celebrities have expressed their optimism and support for Lian Dao on Weibo and social platforms.

This also made some entertainment fans who didn't pay much attention to basketball before pay attention to Lian Dao.

And his influence has once again broken through the circle!

Lian Dao also expressed his gratitude for the support on Weibo and said that he would not disappoint the expectations of netizens and fans.

Compared with the majority of netizens in China who are optimistic about it, those in North America are a mixed bag of likes and dislikes.

Some people think that Lian Dao is a sign of self-confidence and a symbol of strength. Only those who are truly confident can say such things.

Some people think that Lian Dao is overly conceited and has no sense of humility at all.

However, Lian Dao didn't pay too much attention to this. All disputes need to be proved by strength.

When the results are presented in front of everyone, some people will naturally shut up consciously.

Lian Dao said that he won the championship with a 4-0 sweep, not because he was insulting the Thunder, but because he simply wanted to win the championship.

Fans may like to see a game that reaches a tiebreaker, but as a player, Lian Dao does not want a so-called fierce game.

He is not a person who likes to play rough. He can obviously kill him with one blow, but he insists on giving his opponent a chance just to show off and look for the so-called pleasure and fun.

In Lian Dao's opinion, that was just stupidity.

The longer the game drags on, the bigger the accidents will be. Lian Dao will definitely not do anything like playing with fire and burning himself.

Moreover, after the finals, Lian Dao still needs to prepare for the Olympics, and Yao Ming has returned to China to join the training of the national team.

You know, in this Olympics, the Chinese team not only wants to be among the so-called top eight and semi-finals, but also wants to win the brand.

Therefore, Lian Dao did not have that much time to spend with Lei Lei.

Fight quickly and get ashore safely as soon as possible.

…

When the Knicks bus was driving on Oklahoma Street, Lian Dao truly realized how small this ball market was.

Logically speaking, we have already reached the level of the finals. Oklahoma City should celebrate with lights and decorations no matter what.

However, apart from simple banners on both sides of the road, there were not many local fans on both sides of the road.

"No wonder Durant left here historically."

With this market, coupled with the Thunder's owner's constant efforts to strengthen the team, it would be a miracle to be able to win the championship.

This not only made Lian Dao sigh in his heart.

In fact, Lian Dao is a kind of preconception.

He is used to the big ball market in New York. Seeing the "simple" celebration in Goose City, of course he will unconsciously feel that there is no championship atmosphere.

In fact, this is a normal phenomenon for small ball markets.

And compared to other small ball markets, there are not many Oklahoma fans taking to the streets.

It's just that compared to New York fans, some of them seem "less".

However, these "few" fans are not very friendly to the Knicks' arrival.

"The Thunder are destined to reverse course, and the Knicks will eventually fail!"

"Chesapeake Energy Arena will be the burial place of the Knicks!"

"Stop struggling, you will surely be destroyed in Oklahoma!"

Looking at the signs on both sides of the road and the extremely jealous fans.

Lian Dao was really worried that they would work together to overturn the team bus, or throw rocks and rotten eggs at the team bus.

During the regular season, the Knicks also came to Oklahoma, but it was the regular season after all.

Regular season losses or wins don't generate much hate or attention.

But it's different now, this is the finals.

If the Thunder can complete a comeback like they did against the Spurs, the significance will definitely be a milestone.

The Thunder's third young master will also become the real hero of Goose City, just like Lian Dao is the city hero of the Knicks.

And, most importantly, the Thunder are now 0:2 behind.

Lian Dao even threatened to sweep the Thunder 4-0 in the press conference, which undoubtedly greatly increased the resistance of Thunder fans against the Knicks.

"Looking at their eyes, they want to put us in their mouths, chew us up and eat them alive. Are we so annoying?"

Next to Lian Dao, Tony Allen looked at the fans outside the window and asked Lian Dao.

At the same time, all the players on the bus looked at Lian Dao.

Lian Dao touched his nose awkwardly.

Lian Dao definitely accounts for a large part of the reason why Thunder fans hate the Knicks.

"Cough, cough, the more they are hostile to us, the more we make them afraid. Only the weak will not be noticed, and the truly strong will be hated by others!"

"Besides, it's the same wherever we go. As long as our goal is to chase the championship, it's already destined that the road trip in the playoffs won't be liked by anyone."

"And this is just the appetizer. Trust me, when we show up at Chesapeake Energy Arena tomorrow night, you will truly know what a 'warm welcome' is."

Lian Dao was very calm about this, he had long been used to it.

Oklahoma isn't the only city with hostility toward the Knicks.

If this year's finals were held in San Antonio, the situation would probably be even more intense than this.

Every star and every team is destined to be lonely before they reach greatness.

…

With the assistance of the local Oklahoma police, the Knicks team bus finally arrived at the hotel where they were staying.

However, reporters were already swarming outside the hotel.

As soon as Lian Dao and the others stepped off the bus, a group of reporters rushed up to them.

Cameras, microphones, and microphones are aimed at Lian Dao and the Knicks players like spears and cannons.

"Sickle, do you really think you can successfully defend your title in two games at Chesapeake Energy Arena?"

"The Thunder have a record of falling behind two games on the road in the Western Conference Finals and then coming back. Moreover, they have never lost at home in the playoffs. Are you sure you can win here?"

"If you didn't do everything you stated in your previous statement, how would you explain it?"

Lian Dao became the most talked about star in the finals, and all reporters hoped to get news from Lian Dao.

More than half of the reporters at the scene were here for Lian Dao.

The local media in Echeng hated Lian Dao even more.

However, Lian Dao did not answer any questions.

Under the joint escort of hotel and team security, Lian Dao and the Knicks players walked into the hotel door.

He didn't want to explain anything, and he didn't need to say anything.

He has already said what needs to be said. As for how the reporter interprets it, Lian Dao doesn't care.

Again, the results speak for themselves. When the championship trophy is won at Chesapeake Energy Field, all controversies will disappear.

Therefore, instead of wasting words and explanations, it is better to calm down, prepare for battle, and strive to annihilate Thunder in one fell swoop.

"These bastards are like flies. They are really annoying. They won't stay here forever, right?"

Gallinari, who struggled to squeeze into the hotel, couldn't help complaining.

Gallinari is a guy who likes excitement, but being followed by such a group of "locators" will not be too comfortable even if he likes excitement and exposure.

"We are the focus of the world now, and all eyes are on us!"

Lian Dao shook his head, smiled and patted Gallinari on the shoulder.

One good thing about Lian Dao is that before the big competition, he can always stay calm inside and not be too disturbed by the outside world.

Some of the old superstars in the NbA are experienced, but Lian Dao is young and mature.
