Before the start of the game, a large number of media arranged their own cameras and broadcasting equipment. For the finals involving the Seattle SuperSonics and the Orlando Magic, the media are indeed a little less interested. If the Cleveland Cavaliers enter the finals team, then there is LeBron James and Stephen, who is the No.1 matchup of the new generation, and even in the conference finals, against the Los Angeles Lakers, there is also the gimmick of Stephen and Kobe Bryant who is the league's top scorer, then What's up against Orlando.

A duel between Stephen and Hedo Turkoglu?Who is the league's No. [-] small forward? Stephen plays shooting guard. Who is the league's No. [-] swingman? Hido Turkoglu has never played a shooting guard. Not bad, but compared with Stephen, there is still a huge gap, and there is no match in any aspect at all, and the comparison starts from the comparison.

Stephen versus Rashard Lewis?Not to mention that the positions of the two people are not right at all, even if the positions of the two people are right, the others are not right. Apart from getting a contract of [-] million yuan, Rashard Lewis is basically compared with Stephen, that is one place, and When he was in the Supersonics, he was only the team's second head, and he couldn't match Stephen, the current head. If he were replaced by Ray Allen, he could still hype a duel between the old and the new, but Rashad Lewis no more.

Any hype needs a name, without this name, the hype starts, but between these two teams, there is really no room for hype. The Sonics are a relatively star-like team. Stephen, Yao Ming, or Kevin Durant are all star-studded, but on the side of the Magic, besides Dwight Howard, who else has this influence, so it is determined that these two teams After the team entered the finals, both the league and the media were very distressed, because there was no room for the media to play.

So the media thought about it, and finally had to focus on the match between Yao Ming and Dwight Howard. Although one is only the team's second or third leader, the other is the team's nominal leader. Or the big master in defense, but anyway, Yao Ming has also been the boss of the team, and Dwight Howard is also the boss in name. The center forward can barely be regarded as the subject of publicity. [

So most of the media publicized this as a point of view, but Stephen was put aside instead, and the league also promoted it in the same way, because they didn't have any good names. At this time, they are more resentful than the Orlando Magic. You enter What are you doing in the finals? Isn’t this making trouble? All the plans that our marketing development department worked so hard to plan were all in vain, but there is nothing to do. If everything is controlled by them, then the business of the alliance will also be impossible. Expand globally.

It’s like the league hates the San Antonio Spurs entering the finals, but they have nothing to do with the Spurs. They may affect the game, but they can’t manipulate the game. Although they both interfere with the game, there is a huge difference .

The Chinese media have also been affected by this. They defined this game as "the duel between the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Overlord Spear". Yao Ming naturally refers to the Dragon Slaying Sword, describing his atmosphere, upright and aboveboard; Overlord Gun refers to Dwight Howard, which can be regarded as a more positive name. It is a more majestic and higher-grade name. After the alliance knew about it, they were also very interested in such a statement, but it is a pity It was too late to revise their publicity plan.

Stephen didn't complain at all about Yao Ming stealing his limelight, even before the game started, he patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said to Yao Ming: "Don't worry, I will do the logistics for you in this game, You just have to charge forward."

Yao Ming smiled wryly at this. He never regarded Dwight Howard as an opponent. Since entering the league, his only goal of catching up was the Shaquille O'Neal. Standing in front of Shark O'Neal in the playoffs, although I didn't win him in the regular season matchup, I didn't lose much either.

Unexpectedly, on the highest stage of the finals, he will face another center opponent who does not look like a center at all, to compete for the number one center in the league with little technical content. Presumably O'Neill must be very happy when he sees this game. It's not a taste, when the league competes for the first center, it doesn't even have its own share.

But the reality is so cruel. Even O'Neal, who is as bloodthirsty as a big shark, like a Tyrannosaurus rex on the court, can be blocked by people, and is the hopeful No. [-] center forward in history, can only go home early to fish and enjoy That leisure time that I never enjoyed before.

Before the game, the Sonics got a message that for the finals, the Orlando Magic also prepared a surprise soldier. Their main point guard Jamal Nelson entered the list of available games. It was said that he should be reimbursed for the season. He has already recovered from his injury, but there must be a training period between his recovery and playing, but he has never heard of Shashang who participated in training. It seems that the Magic has blocked this news, and Jamal usually When Nelson appeared on the sidelines, he was also in a suit and leather shoes. It was obviously a kind of tactical deception.

But against the Seattle SuperSonics, even adding Jamal Nelson at the point guard position is useless. The Sonics have almost the largest point guard lineup in the league, but they only let them handle the ball. After halftime, it has to be said that it is a huge waste.

So the Sonics don't care about this news. Whether you come back or not, there are only five of you who can play. You can't play six because of your comeback before the game.

Amidst the cheers of nearly [-] fans at the scene, under the watchful eyes of a reported [-] million viewers, the first game of the [-]-[-] season finals slowly kicked off. The changes are still center Yao Ming, power forward Kurt Thomas, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Stephen, and point guard Earl Watson.

The Orlando Magic also did not adjust the lineup. Although Jamal Nelson came back, he did not enter the starting list from the beginning. Their starting lineup is still: center Dwight Howard, power forward Rashard Lewis, Jr. Forward Hedo Turkoglu, shooting guard Courtney Lee, point guard Ralph Alston.

In the jump ball, Yao Ming lost to Dwight Howard. This is not surprising. Yao Ming will lose the jump ball when he is facing most centers in the league. It's all done by other people.

Rashad Lewis received the ball from Dwight Howard. After he dribbled the ball a few times, he passed the ball to Ralph Alston after Kurt Thomas posted it. What to do with the ball, just let the Sonics take the opportunity to set up a defensive position.

The ball flew from Ralph Alston's hand to Hido Turkoglu's. In fact, Ralph Alston's awareness of passing the ball to the inside is already very good, but Dwight Howard is not a good offensive player. When he came to this team, Ralph Alston also imagined that he would obey Dwight Howard like he was in the Rockets, and give Dwight Howard support, so that he could stay in Orlando. He was really fed up with the wandering days. But it soon became apparent that doing so was of no use. Dwight Howard was simply not someone he could rely on. Whether it was the status of the team or his own interests, he never dared to actively fight for it, let alone Fight for others.

And the team uses itself purely as a firefighter. Although Ralph Alston's character can't do anything against professional ethics, it really makes him unable to fight, especially when Jamal Nelson recovers. , was immediately sent into the main lineup, although he has not squeezed out his own starting lineup, but it will be a matter of time. After Raf Alston dribbled through the midfield, he immediately passed the ball to Hedo Turkoglu, This is the official start of the game.
