Chapter 611 We will hold the championship award ceremony right here!
"Hey, sickle, don't you think it's a terrible thing to be surrounded by them?"
Tony Allen also hated this group of reporters. He frowned and spread his hands.
However, Tony Allen really admired Lian Dao's psychological quality. It seemed that nothing could make this young man look pale.
This guy seems to be able to face anything he encounters calmly.
"What's so bad about this? They can only cause trouble for one day, and when the game ends tomorrow night, everything will stop!"
Lian Dao finished speaking calmly, then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the hotel elevator.
…
June 17, 7pm.
Three hours before the start of G3 of the 2011-2012 NBA Finals
Everyone from the Thunder was interviewed before the game.
This is the first time the Thunder members will be interviewed by reporters after returning from New York.
They lost the first two games in New York, and they both lost by big margins, which made them afraid to face the media and fans.
People don’t even dare to pay attention to social media during this period.
However, after two days of adjustments, the energy and spirit of everyone in Lei Ting seemed to have recovered.
Especially Westbrook, he has long wanted to respond to Lian Dao in front of the media.
However, after returning to Goose City, team coach Brooks asked everyone in the Thunder to decline all media interviews and concentrate on preparing for G3.
"Sickle is too arrogant. He doesn't have Yao's humility at all. We are not soft persimmons. He will pay the price for his arrogance at Chesapeake Energy Stadium!"
When Westbrook spoke, he was unconsciously sullen. He had been holding it in for so long, and it was really hard for him.
Durant also recovered from his previous confused state.
However, after the first two games, Durant obviously lacked some confidence, but gained a little more composure.
"This is Chesapeake Energy Stadium. Here, we maintain a record of undefeated victory in the playoffs. Tonight, we will still defend its honor of undefeated victory!"
Durant didn't say much, simply answered the reporters' questions and left the scene.
Even, he didn't fight back like Westbrook did to Lian Dao.
This also surprised the media reporters at the scene.
…
One hour before the start of the game.
All members of the New York Knicks began to walk out of the tunnel to warm up.
Chesapeake Energy Stadium was packed, with some fans holding banners high.
"The counterattack is today!"
“New Yorkers will be buried in Oklahoma City!”
Just as Lian Dao expected, they became the most hated people in Oklahoma City.
As soon as the Knicks players stepped onto the court, there were overwhelming boos.
Fans in front of the TV or video can only hear boos, while players in the stadium can hear clear insults in addition to boos.
Every time Lian Dao glanced at a stand, the fans in that stand would boo and curse Lian Dao.
Many fans even made insulting gestures.
It was as if they wanted to scare Lian Dao in this way.
Unfortunately, Lian Dao did not have any psychological fluctuations, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Through the on-site camera, it is projected on the big screen.
Lian Dao's smile made Thunder fans even more angry.
Thunder fans felt that Lian Dao's smile was a provocation to them.
As a result, all the Thunder fans in the audience responded to Lian Dao with even more intense boos and curses.
It can be said that local fans are quite unfriendly to the Knicks and Lian Dao.
For those who didn’t know, I thought this year’s finals would be a battle between yellow and green.
In the entire NBA league, there are no two teams whose fans hate each other as much as the Lakers and Celtics did before.
But tonight, the situation between the Knicks and Thunder is no less than the level of hatred between the yellow and green fans back then.
This is the first time these two teams have met in the finals, but the game between them felt like old enemies.
Oklahomans are just tough people, and they act tough just to cover up their inner weakness.
They want to use this tough attitude to make all Knicks players feel fear and feel that Oklahomans are not easy to mess with.
They want to use this method to warn everyone in the Knicks: Chesapeake Energy Arena is not a place the Knicks can win if they want to.
Lian Dao knew this, so he smiled in the face of the abuse and insulting gestures.
This is not a reply to the fans, but he himself doesn't take it seriously. It's just a natural expression of his expression.
But the more this happens, the more fearful the fans at the scene become.
People are like this. When you try your best to intimidate someone, but find that they are not afraid of you at all, the psychological frustration is huge.
And Lian Dao undoubtedly made Oklahoma fans feel this frustration.
But this also made Oklahoma fans a little angry.
Reflected on the scene, they shouted even louder to cover up their inner frustration.
"His expression is so hateful, I really want to punch him in the face!"
"That's so mean. I can't help it anymore. I'm going to beat him... Hey, should you hold me back?!"
"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, he won't be able to jump around for much longer!"
Oklahoma fans were gnashing their teeth in hatred for Lian Dao.
Lian Dao's calmness was the biggest insult to their tough attitude.
"I have never seen Oklahoma fans hate a team or a player so much. I feel like Michael was not booed so badly during the away games in the Finals!"
Kenny Smith looked at the boos and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Under normal circumstances, fans of the home team should spare no effort to cheer for their team!"
"They seem to have ignored the Thunder. The fans are speaking out for the Knicks. Although they are all scolding, I have a feeling that the Knicks seem to be the masters of this game!"
Buckley also rubbed his chin, expressing his incomprehension.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at the biggest initiator of the boos: Lian Dao!
If it weren't for his speech, Oklahoma fans wouldn't be so angry.
Both of them wanted to know how Lian Dao would end up in this situation.
Both the Thunder and the Knicks ended their warm-up activities amid endless boos and abuse.
Ten minutes before the start of the game, both sides made final pre-match arrangements.
Tonight, the Knicks will continue the characteristics of the G2 game, take the initiative and strive to gain an advantage as soon as possible.
Despite the overwhelming momentum of Oklahoma fans, the Thunder don't have much willpower to resist resolutely.
This can be seen from the interviews before the game.
Although he clamored to defend his home court, he did not dare to directly say that he defeated the Knicks or Lian Dao from the beginning to the end. He just made the Knicks pay the price without any pain.
After Lian Dao saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
As long as the Knicks can widen the point difference as early as possible in this game, the Thunder's momentum will plummet and completely collapse.
At the same time, the Thunder will completely lose their ability to resist.
As long as they win G3, under the pressure of 3:0, in the fourth game, as long as the Knicks perform normally, the Thunder will not be able to make any waves.
In this game, the Knicks still continued the lineup from the previous game.
However, D'Antoni made slight adjustments to the tactical strategy.
Pinch the opponent's attacking arrow player to quickly switch between offense and defense.
Although Brooks studied under George Karl, his tactical level was still far behind that of the grumpy old man.
Especially for the use of the Thunder's three young masters, he simply did not fully realize their potential.
The Thunder's most popular tactic is unlimited individual singles. Westbrook plays after Durant plays, and Durant plays after Harden plays.
They rarely produce outstanding teamwork.
Therefore, as long as the Thunder's three most critical core figures are pinched, even if this is Oklahoma City and Chesapeake Energy Arena, it will be difficult for the Thunder to make waves.
"Offense, we have to carry out our offense to the end in this game! I don't want to take the plane back and forth anymore. We will hold the championship trophy award ceremony here!"
"So, I don't want to see this game drag on and use our special skills to silence the fans at Chesapeake Energy Stadium!"
D'Antoni was a little restless tonight, but the mustache's words were indeed very encouraging.
"Knicks!"
"Must win!"
After the Knicks players shouted slogans, the Five Tigers officially entered the court!
