Chapter 677 The only suspense in the series [Subscribe]
On the court, the players were doing their final warm-up, and on the major TV stations, they naturally came up with their own tricks, recruiting a variety of guests to make final predictions and live broadcasts of the finals.
For example, ESPN, based on the successful experience of CBS in the past few years, also spent a lot of money to find a combination of retired celebrities, popular stars, and high-profile rookies to seize CBS's market share.
Dolan's MSG Group made a special move. He recruited most of the Knicks players. Team leaders Alan Houston, Marcus Camby and others were all present. Saiya Thomas, a group of more than ten people with a strong lineup, directly found a bar to book a room, drink and watch, and broadcast live.
But in the end, the most noticeable and most watched is CBS Sports, which has gradually become the NBA's number one broadcast platform in recent years. "Eight Nine Seven"
They continue the pattern that has been very successful in recent years. In addition to their regular partners Kenny and Smith, there is also Charles Barkley, whom they have recently officially signed a long-term contract. In addition, they also found two The hot rookie in 2001, the super talented Pau Gasol from Spain and the super dunk from North Carolina, Jason Richardson!
The combination of these five people once again attracted the most attention and ratings, and became the most popular sports program at the same time.
Kenny took the lead: "The finals are about to start, what are your thoughts, and which side do you prefer?"
Barkley laughed and said: "Of course I am optimistic about the Celtics, even against the Mars basketball team, I am also optimistic about the Celtics! Besides I am one of them, but also because they do have a huge advantage , This year's Celtics are the best team in NBA history! 35
"The Spurs are really strong, they have two towers, they are balanced inside and out, they have shooters, they have veterans, they have experienced point guards, and they have a dynamic backup lineup. If you put them in a year without the Celtics, they would definitely A huge favourite to win!"
"However, not this year! The biggest reason is that they have it, the Celtics have it, and they're better than them! And of course, there's a reason everyone knows without me saying it, Lin Long! I don't think there is Any team can solve the current Lin Long in the series! I briefly summarize the characteristics of Lin Long, that is: he is invincible!
Smith also laughed: "I have to say, I want to deny all of Charles' views, I want to say 'you stupid, you are wrong' but unfortunately, I can't find any arguments and arguments to deny Charles' views , he is right. 39

Richardson coughed. He became the top star of the university in North Carolina. He deliberately pretended to be a little old and lowered his voice: "I think Charles is right! This Celtics team is after I entered the league. The team I want to beat the most! I'm eager to challenge them, but I don't think this year's Spurs are their match!"
Gasol, who spoke at the end, was obviously still a little nervous. He rubbed his blond hair. He originally wanted to say a word of support for the Celtics and ended his speech, but thinking of his agent's advice, it would be good for him to talk more and show his face more. Get a higher pick in the draft.
Gasol can only cheer up: "I like Popovich's coaching method very much. I think he has found a brand new way for the league to use the twin towers and the inside line. His revolutionary tactics are really impressive. People yearn for! If I had to pick one NBA team I would most like to join, it would be the San Antonio Spurs!"
"If I had to pick a team that could win this series, it would be the Celtics.
"So much nonsense!
This was what the other four thought of at the same time.
But fortunately, no one came to spray Gasol tonight, Kenny quickly smiled and said: "Then I think, we have just reached the most unified and consistent answer ever! That is, the five of us support Kay at the same time. Ult, I really want to end this topic and watch the cheerleading show with peace of mind.""
"It's a pity, that will affect my salary, so let's talk, what kind of suspense is there in this series?""
It was Barkley who opened his mouth again and said: "The only suspense is whether the Spurs can become the runner-up with the most points in the entire NBA history. This round of series is destined to be a crushing game. I think , The Celtics can win about 25 points per game, and the resistance of the Spurs will definitely be lower than that of the Utah Jazz in 1998!
"If they want to win, they have to leave the Celtics out on a massive scale! There's no other way..."
Smith followed up: "Although I don't agree with Charles' opinion, I don't think there will be such a big gap between the two sides, but I agree with one thing, that is whether the Spurs will not be swept, which is the biggest suspense in this round! The Spurs, as long as If you win the next game, you will complete the mission! This round of series may really become the most boring finals in NBA history!"
Then Richardson also expressed his agreement, only Gasol shook his head and denied the opinions of several people.
"I think this round of series will be more suspenseful than expected, and the Spurs' lineup is also very good. They have top shooters, top insiders, excellent guards and perfect benches. As long as they play well, they may not really be rejected. The Celtics are easy to kill!"
"I think this series can be played in 6 games! Although the Celtics will still win, the Spurs will not be caught! Popovich will find a way to limit Lin Long to a certain extent, maybe it will only work 1 -2 games, but I think Popovich has this ability! He is in my heart, the top five coach in the league!""
"Sorry kid, I don't want to hit you." Barkley shrugged: "But everyone who tried to limit Lin Long has failed. Phil Jackson can't do it, Carlisle can't do it, Van Gundy Jr. can't do it. , Pat Riley can't do it, I don't think Popovich can do it! I'm still saying that, the only possible way to limit the Celtics is to have them have a massive absence, 3.3 divisions Other than that, it's impossible!
"Maybe Popovich has another way of thinking?" Gasol retorted with courage and clenched his fists: "For example, Lin Long scores casually, locks up the rest of the Celtics, basketball is a five-person sport, relying on one People, can't beat a strong team!"
Barkley showed a shocked expression, then he laughed, and hammered the table while laughing: "I think you can ask the great Tomjanovich about this question! See how he leads the world The greatest team ever, defeated by Lin Long alone! 95
"That's just one game! In the series, it's impossible! It's impossible for someone to be unstoppable for the entire series!" Gasol also raised his head at this time, blushing and said: "There is always a bad feel when.
