Chapter 880 880. The best opponent

After lunch, Liu Xiu arrived at the airport and left Portland with the team for Chicago.

Liu Xiu recalled that it seemed like this was the first time he had played a series without home field advantage.

It was really the first time for a young girl to get on a sedan chair, it was very refreshing.

On the Rose Bay Prison, Liu Xiu sat by the window and read the newspaper he had brought with him when he left this morning.

Feeling proud and proud is his current mood.

Ever since they were beaten 1-1 by the Nuggets in the first round, they have been looked down upon by the media. There have been calls for them to beat the Lakers and defeat them.

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, public opinion even said that they would be swept by the Suns.

Now, after they swept the Suns, public opinion seems to have returned to last season.

Arriving in Chicago in the evening, Liu Xiu felt how popular the finals were.

On the highway coming out of the airport, billboards with slogans such as 'The Bull Dynasty Returns', 'The End of the Warden', 'The Dream of the Prison Dynasty Broken'... etc. appear from time to time.

The better his grades, the more conscientiously Paul Allen spends his money.

Similar to when he played against the Lakers, he booked a villa hotel in Meiwu. He chose this place because it has a large private indoor court where the players can prepare for the game.

Other teams have troubles when they play away games in the playoffs and are harassed by local fans. His ability to use money has saved the team from these troubles.

After arriving at the villa area, Paul Allen was very satisfied when he saw how happy the team members were.

He heard from John Nash that if he wins three consecutive championships, how much will the ticket prices for next season increase, how much the advertising revenue and sponsorship fees will increase, and how much the estimated sales of peripheral products will increase... He has a headache.

Why do you spend more and more money?

When he had a headache, a warden appeared next to him.

Paul Allen asked: "Jace, do you have anything to ask me about?"

Liu Xiu responded: "It's okay, I just want to find someone to complain about."

Paul Allen is in a good mood now and tries to act like an elder: "If you have any concerns, you can talk to me. I know you are the leader of the team and you can't talk to your teammates and coaches when you are under pressure, but you can tell me."

Liu Xiu nodded, then sighed and said, "On the way we came here, there were all Bulls billboards, promoting them and belittling us... It's great to have money!"

"????"

Paul Allen's "elderly attitude" was immediately unbearable.

How nice is it to say in front of him that other people are rich?

Can't bear it!

…

There are benefits to not going to the United Center to prepare for games...and more benefits.

The training venue is near the hotel. It only takes 10 minutes to walk there at a normal speed, so there is no need to travel.

Quiet and safe, reducing the occurrence of accidents.

There are also fewer interviews and other chores.

Not only did Liu Xiu refuse to be interviewed this time, most of the Trail Blazers players did not want to be interfered with by the outside world.

There have been so many things in the news in the past three years. Now that the dynasty has reached its final goal and will reach the top in one more step, everyone's hearts have sunk.

Even if there were some who were agitated, it was because everyone around them calmed down and became calm.

This is the importance of the environment.

Two days flew by. On June 6, the first game day of the Finals arrived. At 8:30 in the morning, the Trail Blazers arrived at the United Center to prepare for the game.

While waiting for the coach to arrive in the conference room, Liu Xiu said to Randolph on the right: "The opponent is the Bulls. It's really great."

Randolph responded to the left: "Yes, getting the third championship from them has a completely different meaning!"

"Yes, there are three dynasty teams, the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls. We have defeated the Lakers this year. If we defeat the Bulls again, we will establish a dynasty on the basis of two dynasty teams! I want to

I know what Jordan is thinking now."

"He was probably praying to God that we would perform badly."

"But it's also possible that he expected us to win, and he and the Bulls ended up having a bad time."

"It makes sense, he might want to prove that the Bulls can win the championship because of him..."

Before Randolph finished speaking, Ray Allen in the middle stood up, ignored the gazes of the onlookers, walked to the side and sat down.

These two guys are so noisy!

Liu Xiu and Randolph looked at each other, smiled and high-fived.

Forcing the three-point king to leave his 'exclusive position', success!

Noticing the little moves between the two, Ray Allen couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

However, although he felt noisy, he was very excited after listening to what the two said.

Stepping on the Bulls dynasty and building a new dynasty... isn't this his dream when he entered the NBA?

Although the process was far different from his dream at that time, but!

He likes the words of the warden very much - "Human growth is not a process of realizing dreams, but a process of constantly revising dreams and working hard for dreams based on one's own circumstances."

…

On June 6, 2007, at 6:40 in the evening, the players' appearance ceremony began immediately at the United Center in Chicago.

After the lights dimmed, the big screen lit up. A black charcoal head appeared on the screen and roared, setting off the whole audience!

Immediately after the visiting team players came out, when Liu Xiu ran out with his teammates, he enjoyed the manic boos, insults, and curses from the fans at the scene...

When the home team came on the field, cheers continued.

After the appearance ceremony, the lights came on, and Liu Xiu looked up at the six championship flags swinging in the air-conditioned wind above the court...

The two teams did not exchange greetings before the game. Hinrich and Garnett are two of the three active players who are most hostile to Liu Xiu in his memory.

When he ran out of the tunnel, he could feel two pairs of eyes like blades.

The other one is Pierce.

In addition to the bad relationship between Liu Xiu and the opposing duo, the relationship between the starting centers of the two teams is also full of hostility.

The top four pick in the 2001 class, he is currently known as the "Big Four Center", a name given by T.N.T Sports.

When Liu Xiu heard about this title, he felt that T.N.T's market share was being eroded by ESPN for a reason. There were too many disadvantages.

Four all-star centers are unstable, and four major centers...

But it is true that the relationship between the four people is very bad. The Bulls gave up Eddie Curry earlier and kept Chandler. Even the two interior partners who had a good relationship at the beginning have a very bad relationship now.

At 6:58, the referee informed the players from both teams to come on.

Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen’s full-health ‘Quick Shot’ and Garnett’s residual-health ‘Roar’.

Before copying, Liu Xiu took a look at Ben Gordon's talent that he had tried to copy.

"Jordan on the bench: When the host comes on as a substitute...; when the host comes on as the starter, it is easy to get into a panic and uneasy mood."

Hinrich's talent, he already has the higher-level 'General' BUFF, which cannot be superimposed... I really didn't expect that in such a freshman Bulls team, Garnett's talent was the best.

After applying magnesium powder and high-fiving Ray Allen, Liu Xiu walked onto the court. The task was coming!
Chapter completed!
