Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 1333: Once again on the stage of the finals

When the visiting team players came out, there was an immediate roar of boos from the audience.

The deafening sound scared the Lakers players who were still in the player tunnel. It was like a tsunami.

Kuzma shrank his neck.

Zhuang Yu patted him on the back and said with a smile: "This is the atmosphere of the finals. Relax a little, we are at home, the fans will not boo you."

Kuzma scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, as a freshman with too little experience, he suddenly had to face the finals, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous.

In the 15-16 season, the Lakers defeated the Warriors and reached the finals. At that time, Zhuang Yu was actually nervous inside, but he did not show it.

That finals was also against the Cavaliers. After six fierce battles, the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers 6:4 to win the championship.

After two years, the two sides will face off again in the finals.

It took a long time for the booing to fade away. The visiting team players had all come out, followed by the home team players.

At this time, the boos turned into cheers, and the thunderous cheers resounded throughout the entire stadium...

One by one, the Lakers players came on the court.

The cheers from the audience were getting louder and louder, and the huge sound waves seemed to overturn the dome and could be heard far outside the stadium.

At this time, many Lakers fans gathered outside the stadium. When they heard the sound coming from the stadium, they also cheered.

This time the sound lasted longer and it took a long time to subside.

In the stadium.

Players from both teams have already arrived on the court.

Love did not wear a suit today. Before the game, Zhuang Yu had already known that he would return today, so after arriving on the court, he took the initiative to walk towards Love, hugged Love and exchanged a few words with him.

Derrick Rose took the initiative to walk towards Zhuang Yu, and the two hugged each other with a smile.

During the off-season month, Rose enjoyed Yang Jinsong's medicinal wine massage with Zhuang Yu every day and gained a lot from it. He is very grateful to Yang Jinsong and Zhuang Yu, and now has a very good relationship with Zhuang Yu.

Before, Zhuang Yu said that he would give Yang Jinsong and Anna a house, and half-jokingly said that Yang Jinsong and Anna don’t have to worry about anything, and let Derrick Rose take care of the decoration, furniture, appliances, etc. Later, Zhuang Yu called Rose.

The result surprised Zhuang Yu.

After hearing what Zhuang Yu said, Ross generously said that just giving away decoration and furniture and appliances was not enough. He raised the budget to 100 million US dollars and asked Yang Jinsong and Anna to follow this number. He and Zhuang Yu would pay for it. No matter how much Zhuang Yu paid, he would cover the rest.

Of course Zhuang Yu had no objection, and he would not let Ross suffer any loss. Anyway, the two of them would each contribute 50 to make a total of 100 million.

But for Yang Jinsong and Anna, this was definitely a great bargain.

Originally, the two of them only planned to buy a house for US$30 to US$40. They certainly wouldn't need that much for decoration, furniture, and appliances. US$10 would be enough.

In other words, if you calculate the total price, 50 is actually enough.

Now that Ross has said this, their budget has been directly increased to 100 million US dollars, so that they can choose a better house and use more luxurious decoration.

After the two chatted for a few sentences, Rose walked over to Yang Jinsong who was standing in the player's tunnel and chatted with him for a while.

He was really very grateful to Yang Jinsong.

Last season, Rose suffered an injury again on the Knicks, which made him discouraged for a while. In the end, he was not even able to get a contract extension and had to join the Cavaliers at a minimum salary.

The once youngest regular season MVP has now become a wanderer in the league, moving between teams. That feels terrible.

It even made him doubt his life at one point, wondering if he had been abandoned by God.

Why do injuries always seek to hurt him? Why can't he be given a full season to prove himself again?

Rose is proud. Even if he was abandoned by the Bulls and the Knicks, he didn't want to give up.

However, the injury made him feel helpless, as he was willing but unable to do anything.

It was not until last summer, when he met Zhuang Yu and Yang Jinsong at a small training camp organized by Westbrook, that he saw hope again. The medicated wine massage not only saved his injury-plagued body, but also helped him to regain his spirits.

Although Derrick Rose joined the Cavaliers at a minimum salary this season and played as a substitute most of the time, his performance was very outstanding.

Especially after Isaiah Thomas was ruled out for the season, he became the only surprise for the Cavaliers.

Throughout the regular season, Rose averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

Although it is far from his peak state, it has basically caught up with the data of the 15-16 season.

The most important thing is that he did not suffer any serious injuries this season and played a full 68 games in the regular season, which is the season with the most appearances he has made in recent years.

Today's Derrick Rose is obviously no longer the MVP he once was, and it is impossible for him to return to his former state, but his averages of 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game are almost at the level of a best sixth man.

This season, Rose was also included in the candidate list for "Best Sixth Man", which surprised many people.

Only after experiencing the lows can you know how it feels to climb out of them.

Ross has experienced a lot. He has been successful at a young age and full of energy, but he has also struggled hard and felt discouraged... So he especially cherishes the present and is especially grateful to Yang Jinsong.

For him, Yang Jinsong's kindness and help could not be repaid with just a few hundred thousand US dollars.

On this side, Zhuang Yu walked towards James and greeted him.

James' expression was very calm. He did not show any emotion because he and Zhuang Yu were the focus of discussion. He even chatted with Zhuang Yu with a smile for a while.

Zhuang Yu also smiled and replied a few words.

There was no fireworks, both sides were polite but not enthusiastic.

After all, they are still rivals.

......

Soon, the warm-up for both sides ended.

The Lakers here.

Coach Scott spread out the tactical board: "Kyle, you have to help Korver with defense and focus on shrinking the defense. Three-pointers are not the Cavaliers' strong point. Beware of the opponent's breakthrough. Especially for James, you have to be quick in defense and delay, don't let him rush."

"Understood." Anderson nodded in agreement.

It is impossible to completely defend against James, but we can still make some targeted arrangements, such as shrinking the defense line or providing assists in advance.

James' greatest strength is not shooting, but breaking through.

Once he starts charging, it is basically impossible to stop him, so if you want to limit James, the first thing you have to do is not let him charge.

In a game of the Eastern Conference Finals, when James was already charging, Marcus Morris was holding onto his shoulders from behind, but he couldn't pull James down. Instead, James, with Marcus Morris hanging on him, still soared into the air and completed the layup.

That scene became a classic scene of the entire game, and even the entire series, which amazed many people.

It is conceivable how strong James' impact is.
