"The battle between old enemies, the Western Conference finals matchup is announced!"
"The Lakers return to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in the post-OK era!"
"Kobe vs. Nash, the showdown of the 1996 golden generation!"
"Chen Yan faced off against Kobe Bryant, the supernova faced off against the mvp!"
The topic of this Western Conference Finals has been very hot. The strong West and the weak East are the current pattern of the league, so the outside world generally believes that whoever can win the Western Conference Finals will be the championship!
"This is Kobe's season, win the mvp and then win the O'Brien Trophy!"
"The Lakers' lineup is unparalleled, Kobe Garnett = wins."
"I am the Lake Champion!"
"The Lakers are in the spotlight, and the Suns are also very impressive!"
"Support Chen Yan, how many people will be greedy to death if he wins the championship in the first year of his career?"
"I'm a fan of Kobe, but I also want Chen Yan to win. I'm so confused..."
"I look forward to Chen Yan continuing to go berserk!"
Fans are also looking forward to the game between the Suns and the Lakers, especially the collision between Chen Yan and Kobe Bryant.
Although the gimmick of the duel between the two is not as good as 23vs24, it is attractive enough.
From the perspective of domestic fans, there are more fans who support Chen Yan, after all, he is one of his own.
In foreign countries, Kobe Bryant's popularity surpassed that of Chen Yan. After all, he was the number one player in the league. Chen Yan, who had just entered the league in his first year, was definitely not as popular as him.
But Chen Yan's popularity has been rising recently. In the playoffs, Chen Yan shattered people's doubts with his consistently high-profile performance, and his 33 seconds and 13 minutes battle attracted countless fans.
As Chen Yan's popularity further increased, Chen Yan also had more and more anti-fans. In the Western Conference finals, these anti-fans, regardless of whether they were Lakers fans before, all supported Kobe. The reason was very simple. They wanted Kobe to educate him on the court.
Chen Yan, it would be best to torture him to pieces.
Most domestic fans are still on Chen Yan's side. They used to beat their chests and feet countless times because the Rockets fell in the first round, but when they fanned to Chen Yan and regarded the Suns as their home team, the fans found that entering the Western Conference finals was not too difficult.
things.
Not only are the fans going crazy for this focus battle, even the mayors of Los Angeles and Phoenix are competing.
You must know that the last time two teams from the Pacific Division appeared in the Western Conference Finals dates back to 2002. For this reason, the mayors of the two cities made a public bet before the game: If the Suns win the series, then the mayor of Los Angeles
Antonio Villaraigosa will invite Phoenix Mayor Amy Talley to dinner. If the Suns win, Phoenix Mayor Amy Talley will invite Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to a steak.
Additionally, the losing mayor's city hall hangs the winning team's logo until the end of the season.
After a day of rest, the Suns team flew to Los Angeles to adapt to the venue in advance and prepare for the game.
D'Antoni's training sessions are not open to the public and adopt a fully closed training.
The main reason for doing this is not to want the Suns players to be interfered with by the outside world.
The Western Conference finals are different from the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Suns do not have a home court advantage and G1 starts on the road, which requires the players to be more focused.
In addition, D'Antoni, who has always been relaxed, issued a foot ban and did not allow players to go out after 10 p.m.
Los Angeles is different from Phoenix. It is a world of entertainment and temptation. Mustache does not want his players to weaken their legs before the war begins.
The worry about the 'mustache' is not unreasonable. The Suns players were put to the test on the first day they stayed at the hotel. At 11 o'clock that night, two Playboy models came to present cakes to Nash and Chen Yan. Then they took off their coats and showed off their
Good figure... Maybe most Americans have never read "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies", but some things are just human nature, and that doesn't mean they can't do them.
However, neither Lao Na nor Chen Yan were fooled. They both cherish their feathers and are both cool-headed players. They knew that this was an off-the-table move by Los Angeles.
This move was very cruel, and I'm afraid not many men could withstand it. When Xiaosi heard the news the next morning, he looked up to the sky and screamed, saying that there was such a good thing? Why didn't anyone give me a cake?
The Suns are actively preparing for the game, and so are the Lakers.
The Suns are the half-time champions and are on a roll. They just eliminated the defending champion Spurs and are definitely a tough opponent.
For Kobe, this series also has a different meaning. He is a perfectionist, and he will be crazy if he loses to the Suns for three consecutive years.
As the team boss, Kobe called all the players for training on the first day of training.
"Treat the training as if it were the Western Conference Finals. If anyone relaxes, get out and don't stay on this field!"
Kobe's character is the same as Jordan's, they both belong to the tyrant type, and this kind of lecture is also one of the ways they spur their teammates.
"Kobe is right, cheer me up!" Garnett responded by clapping actively.
Like Kobe, CG is also a guy who hates losing, which is why he chose to move to Los Angeles this season.
The atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals quickly heated up with the help of fans and media, and Staples ticket prices naturally increased accordingly.
The average ticket price has tripled, and seats have even increased to US$6-80,000 per seat, which is extremely exaggerated.
But even if the ticket price goes up, it is still hard to get a ticket, because the most indispensable thing for Los Angeles is rich people.
ESPN experts specially conducted an analysis program the day before the Western Conference Finals.
"At the point guard position, Nash vs. Fisher, Nash is undoubtedly better. Nash is an MVP-level player. We all know this, while Fisher can only be regarded as a qualified role player. He has 0.4
His highlight performance was to kill the opponent in seconds, but next to Kobe and Garnett, he more often acted as a green leaf dribbling the ball across the half court."
"The shooting guard position is undoubtedly the matchup that fans are most concerned about in this series. Kobe vs. Chen Yan. Kobe is recognized as the number one player in the league at the moment. He is the regular season MVP this season. Kobe is better in terms of skills and experience.
He is better than Chen, but Chen is more creative. He has enviable athletic talent and scoring explosiveness, and he has a terrifying range that Kobe does not have. Chen had perfect performances in the first two rounds, so it is difficult to analyze who is who.
They will perform better in this series, and for players of their level, the state of the game that day is even more important."
"At the small forward position, James Posey vs. Raja Bell, both are role players, both are defensive elites, and both have certain shooting abilities. Can they limit the opponent's outside firepower to the greatest extent?
The output point will directly affect the trend of the game. Generally speaking, the position is 50-50."
"At the power forward position, Garnett vs. Diaw, this is an unsuspicious comparison. Diaw is a good functional player. He can pass and shoot, but Garnett is a historical power forward. He can do what the coach wants."
Everything he does, this is a player who can change the outcome of the game, and the Lakers have a crushing advantage over the Suns in this position."
"At the center position, it's just the opposite. Stoudemire is an All-Star-level interior player, and his explosive scoring power is second to none among interior players. Although Kwame Brown has a higher starting point, as the No. 1 pick, he did not perform well.
His worth, in his seventh year in the league, has been established as a pure blue-collar insider. As long as he doesn't have a few bad hands, it will be the greatest help to the team."
After listening to the expert's analysis, the fans silently turned off the TV. If the expert's words were summed up in one sentence, it would be a 50-50 tie between the two teams!
