Chapter 966 (1/2)

MVP was the first and vsmvp the second.

First in the West vs second in the West.

16 in a row vs 16 in a row.

67 vs 69...

on May 18, before the NBA western finals began, ESPN put such a simple four line advertisement on the TV channel.

However, these four lines, each of which has a lot of weight, is enough to make all basketball fans in the world crazy about it.

From the first round of the playoffs, Grizzlies and warriors have been in constant friction.

From the spat of players to the chaos between the media in the two cities.

Now, they are finally able to solve the problem on the basketball court.

The warriors arrived in Memphis the day before the game. Memphis is not a strange city for the warriors.

This season, they have played with the Grizzlies four times, each winning two. In the regular season, the two sides play hard.

Long ago, warriors regarded Grizzlies as their biggest imaginary enemy.

So the Western Conference finals came to Memphis, they did not feel surprised.

That afternoon, the warriors entered the stadium early to warm up.

As soon as the warriors' team bus arrived at the underground parking lot of the Federal Express stadium, reporters swarmed in.

This year, Grizzlies and warriors are the best two teams in the league, and curry and link are also the best two players in the league.

In this year's MVP vote, curry got 35% of the vote, and link got 50% of the vote. The former king, LeBron James, won only 11 percent of the vote.

This may not show that link and Curry's strength is far above James, but it can be seen that curry and link are the two most influential stars in the league now.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, this round of Western finals is even more exciting and fierce than the finals!

It's no surprise that such a competition can attract so many journalists.

So far, the reports are all about the Western Conference finals, and no one cares about the situation in the East.

From this point, it is not difficult to see the influence of Kuri and link.

The warriors players all came down from the bus in their civilian clothes, and they were all full of confidence. Especially Raymond Green, who seems to be eager to lift his chin up into the sky.

On the field, the game has not yet started, the atmosphere has been stir fried by the fans.

Nearly 20000 seats in the FedEx stadium are full, and none of them is available.

Grizzly fans are all dressed in dark blue team T-shirts, turning the entire stand into the same color.

Just look at the vast blue ocean, you will feel full of pressure.

Of course, there were also sporadic warriors fans in the stands.

There is no doubt that the Warriors must have followed the team to Memphis. All they want is to witness curry take over the crown on link's head in Memphis!

”Tut Tut, look at the situation. When the Spurs were here last year, they weren't so busy. ” Tony Allen looked around with anticipation on his face.

”Yes, this year's Western Conference finals have received unprecedented attention. Of course, our opponents are stronger than ever. ” Link answers as he shoots to warm up.

After a while, Stephen A. Smith came up to link. Link instantly understood that the other side was looking for his own side interview, so he put down the basketball and walked over.

”Link, you must be looking forward to this game.” Stephen A. Smith, like link, didn't talk much nonsense and asked directly.

”Of course, to tell you the truth, the warriors have kept me waiting too long for my body to rust. They were beaten up by the Rockets in Game 4... Well, let's not talk about it so that the warriors fans won't be happy

Link waved his hand and mocked the warriors' 4-1 record in the last round.

4-1, that's a good result for any team, any series.

But in the Grizzlies, 4-1 is not good enough.

”Ha ha ha ha, I guess so! By the way, Drummond Green said he would give you a taste of the warriors' defensive intensity. He didn't seem to believe you could make a good number in the Western Conference finals. What do you think of it? ”

”I don't have much to say, but I suggest that green watch the Grizzlies and warriors game last month on the 13th. In that game, I scored 53 points on his head and finished the final 1.8 seconds. If that's the level of defensive intensity he's referring to... Well, then I might be really scared, afraid that my scoring record will reach a new high

Although the war is around the corner, link is still calm in front of the camera and does not forget to tease green.

Stephen A. Smith was teased to the front and back, while the warriors fans in front of the TV set were gnawed with anger.They can only be angry, while comforting themselves, said, ”after the game, link is not so arrogant.”

Until now, no one has paid attention to bill Simmons' warning.

Don't always be so confident!

Soon, both sides started and entered the field.

In normal games, even if the players are pretending to be friendly, they will hug each other before the match.

But Grizzlies and warriors are lazy to pretend today, both sides are very ”cold” before the game, ignoring each other.

This scene, no doubt let the fans dream back to the 1990s.

At that time, you couldn't have seen Jordan go and hug Isaiah Thomas.

At that time, when two old enemies met, the atmosphere was so tense.

They're here to play games, not to make friends.
