Chapter 465: Jordan's speech

Chapter 466 Jordan's Speech (Second! Ask for a monthly pass!)
Go to the next city first. After the game, the fans happily eat melons in the forum.
"Shaq's free throw is really accurate!"
"I suspect you are O'Neill's trumpet!"
"Big sharks disdain to use this method! I'm just telling the truth!"
"Then this is really a big'truth'!"
"Stop fighting, I have to say, this game gives me the feeling that Shaq is really a bit old."
"Yes, although he dunks a few beautiful dunks on the court, he has been suppressed by Yao in his performance."
"But then again, Yao is the MVP of this year's regular season! Shaq is 36 years old. Such performance is normal for both parties!"
"Yes, Yao Diao beat Howard, blasted his big bet, suppressed Shaq, and is already the new league's first center!"
"I also agree that Shaq gave way, handed over, and passed on at the end of this season, no matter what kind of statement, the insiders will be Yao's world in the future!"
"I think the game is very exciting, whether the Wizards lose or lose tactically, Carlisle's shark-cutting tactic is a bit anxious."
"This is the real key point. Although Carlisle is outstanding, but the experience is still short, I hope he can adjust to the next game."
"Blind Guess the Wizards pulled back one city after the end and tied 1-1."
"By the way, do you remember the buddies who said that the Warriors were eating shit? What about people?"
"No, you don't think he really eats shit, do you?"
"But that account is invalid. Let's guess the score. I think it will be 1 to 1."
"You all guess 1 to 1, then I guess 2 to 0. Anyway, if you guess, there is no loss."
"It's absolutely impossible to be 2-0. The two teams are too close. If it's 2-0 and then go to the Lakers' home court later, the Wizards won't be able to play."
"What if?"
"Absolutely nothing in case!"
...
In Oakland, Durant, who has just finished his trial, is reading reviews with his newly bought mobile phone.
Ask where Durant's phone came from, and Adi's people gave it to you!
Durant's draft market is optimistic, naturally speaking, has become a sought-after item of major sneaker manufacturers.
Adi, Nike, and AJ are all in contact with him.
With Sun Hao's relationship with Adi, he naturally walked closer to Durant, so it was no problem to send a new mobile phone.
Looking at these comments, Durant suddenly became interested in the first comments.
Opening a small account to post a comment is like a person wearing a mask and walking on the street, no one will recognize it, and it looks pretty good.
The heart is not as good as the action, thinking that he has already picked up the phone to register a new account, and then also expressed his opinion in the forum:
"Lakers championship!"
...
After a two-day break, the discussion of the fans did not stop, and the second game of the finals continued in Washington.
It’s worth noting that the Wizards’ training in these two days was closed.
Obviously, losing the first game puts a lot of pressure on the Wizards.
Because if they lose again in the second game, they are equal to one foot on the cliff, and even a certain probability will be swept away.
No one knows what the Wizards are preparing for until the second game.
Then the fans discovered that Carlisle actually... didn't make much adjustments.
He still asked McGrady to defend Sun Hao at the beginning.
Of course, he has also changed, the biggest change is to further increase Hamilton's tactical status.
Although Hamilton only scored 16 points in the first game, he made 6 of 9 shots and was very efficient.
Carlisle's adjustment is not unexpected, and it did have a very good effect.
And Carlisle did not use the Wizards' passive shark-cutting tactics in Game 2.
Obviously, this kind of tactics looks simple, but the league can really play well, and there are only a few people in the old Nelson and Popovich.
He is also very decisive to give up directly.
The direct result of these two adjustments is that the Wizards and the Lakers stalemate in Game 2 to the final moment of victory.
At this time, what you are fighting is the key ball ability.
In the end, with Sun Hao's key three-pointers and assists, O'Neal's basket hit, and McGrady's counter lore failed.
The Lakers were slightly better in the key ball competition, and finally beat the Wizards with a thrilling 107 to 105.
After winning this game, to almost everyone's expectation, the Lakers won the Wizards two home games and rewritten the big score to 2-0!
For a time, the wind direction in the forum changed drastically.
"Lakers championship!"
"Lakers championship! Sun FMVP!"
"Who else?!"
"No, no, the Wizards have lost both home games. The next three games will be played in Los Angeles. The Wizards will win!"
"Haha, as expected, the truth is in the hands of a few people. I predict another wave. The Wizards will win at most one game and the Lakers will win 4-1!"
"There shouldn't be any opposition anymore, either 4-1 or 4-0. The Lakers won't let the game go back to Washington!"
"I think the problem this season is too big. Why should the 232 be used alone in the finals? Isn't 22111 the same as the divisional game?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just to give the side with the poor record a chance!"
"Hi! It's a shame to lose both games! Sure enough, T-mac is still much worse than Sun!"
"The first of the five shooting guards, the MVP Grand Slam, do you think they were all sent by friendship?"
"Furthermore, Carlisle's tactics have also been adjusted. The only point for the Wizards to come back is probably Yao?"
"Yao is also difficult. Although Shaq is not as strong as before, he is a big shark after all. It is impossible to be blown up, so..."
"Lakers championship!"
...
Regarding the competition system of the finals, there is actually a little-known history in the middle.
In fact, at the very beginning, the format of the game was as stated in the comments, it was 22111.
This and the league you Baidu has had a 232 format from the very beginning, it's all babbling.
In fact, after the NBA started the finals with 7 games and 4 wins, the 22111 system lasted for nearly 40 years.
It was not until 1985 that the Celtics chairman Auerbach proposed a system reform request, which was approved by the league before it was changed to the 232 system.
There is no such thing as conspiracy theories. The reason for this proposal is simply because of traffic problems.
In the last century, most of the traffic was buses, and the regional playoffs were fine. No matter how you run, you are in that half of North America.
But inter-regional competitions are a real strain on the players.
Because if the next three games are 111, you may have to rush from the westernmost part of North America to the easternmost part in two days.
Most of the time is spent in the car, training and other things will definitely not keep up, and the competitive state will naturally not get better.
So the Union quickly passed Auerbach’s proposal at that time, and it has been used until now.
However, as the fans said in the comments, such a game system is actually beneficial to this year's Lakers.
On the second day after the second game, the Lakers players returned to Los Angeles with a beautiful mood to prepare for the next three home games.
But for the Wizards, the situation they face now is unprecedentedly difficult.
In the middle of the two or three games, counting the three days of rest on the match day, they did not rush to Los Angeles on the first day, but instead train in Washington daily.
The morale of the team was extremely low during training.
Yao Ming tried to call the players together to boost morale, but that didn't help much in the end.
This is also completely normal, with a big score of 0 to 2, and three more away games in a row.
To use the slogan that will be popular in the future: smart people are already thinking about how to pass the offseason.
Carlisle didn't say anything, he disappeared from the training hall for a while as the training progressed to the second half.
When he returned to the training ground, a familiar figure appeared with him.
Michael, yes, it's me again. Jordan.
Jordan was not specifically called to the arena by Carlisle.
He happened to be in the arena today to discuss the future game of the team with General Manager Greenfield.
After Carlisle knew the news, he went to chat with him for a while, and then invited him to the training hall.
The members of the Wizards were very excited, but they didn't say that they were so excited that they wanted to take a photo together.
After all, as the small owner of the Wizards, as Jordan said in the first interview of the Finals, he would often go to the game to guide players.
Even, he will have exchanges with some players.
So the reaction of these players is reasonable.
Of course, they saw Jordan still get together very quickly.
"Rick told me that he wanted me to talk to you to boost morale.
I didn't want to come, because I usually have to prepare speech drafts, and it is very difficult for me to make speeches without drafts. "
After Carlisle motioned everyone to stand, Jordan forced a smile and looked at the players.
Jordan's words caused laughter from the Wizards.
Although Jordan likes to pretend, he is really humorous when he wants to give a speech.
For details, please refer to his Hall of Fame speech.
"But I'm already here."
When Jordan said these words, his smile closed up.
The members of the Wizards also focused their attention on Jordan.
Jordan's speech is not something you can hear if you want to.
"I know that many people out there pretend that I only played in the NBA for six years."
The first sentence of Jordan's words caused some players to speak up.
This sentence is actually a very famous sentence even in the era when Sun Hao lived.
"But I am not. I was always a loser until I won my first championship.
So you now know that the of basketball is not always winning from the beginning. "
Jordan's next words made the Wizards a little excited.
Michael I was always pretending to force Jordan, and they had never seen such a thing.
When the person who loves to pretend to be forced no longer deliberately pretends to be forced, then his next words must be unusual.
"I wasn't a talented player like T-mac from the beginning. I was nothing unusual when I was young.
I am not tall enough, let alone like Yao, I may not even be as tall as an ordinary guard.
I'm not fast enough, and not many people even think I can play professional basketball.
But I did it, I did it in the end, I entered North Carolina, entered the NBA, won the championship, 6 championships.
I can do it because I have been competitive since I was very young.
I competed with my brother from the very beginning, and I was fighting for every place, even though I failed most of the time.
But I still keep doing that. I go to high school to compete with my sister, even though she graduated earlier than me who enrolled late.
But I still keep competing, because I know that once you stop, your dreams and what you want will gradually drift away from you. "
Jordan's speech was very contagious, not only the Wizards, but even Carlisle also listened very carefully.
He thinks that bringing Jordan here today may be an unexpected opportunity for the Wizards.
"These are my stories. I have never shared these stories with anyone. The reason why I tell you today is that I just want to tell you.
No matter what time you are, no matter how many times you have failed before, you should never give up hope.
Because once you give up hope, you give up yourself.
Once you persist, God will see it one day, and then the door to success will open to you. "
As soon as Jordan's voice fell, Uncle Mu took the lead and applauded.
Jordan smiled and looked at Uncle Mu. The young man who was sprayed "Welcome to the NBA" by him at the beginning is now a real veteran.
The other members of the Wizards also applauded.
This section of Jordan’s speech is very exciting. If you want to write a book in the future, this section can be included in the selection.
If the Wizards can finally reverse the championship, then the legend of this period will be even stronger.
Of course, it is a bit early to discuss those.
What can be clearly felt is that the morale of the Wizards has clearly rebounded after Jordan's speech.
And Jordan showed off his humor after the speech.
"T-mac, you know I didn't answer when they asked me who is better between you and Sun, because you know that Sun helped me. I can't publicly say that his is bad, so you know.
His words made McGrady amused.
Although this sounds likely to be just to encourage McGrady, would anyone not like to listen to good things?
After Jordan left, Carlisle also said something.
His words are not as sensational as those from Jordan ~EbookFREE.me~ but they are very real.
"Charles Barkley said, ‘Don’t change my end. After I die, I have a lot of rest time. I just want to say that this summer we will also have a lot of rest time. Now it’s far from the time to ‘end’.
You are the team with the best record in the regular season. You are the Eastern Conference champions. You only lost 2 points in the second game. You are not weak.
As long as you play a little better than now, you can win a little bit.
Whether it's away or home, it's the same. Treat the next game as the last one and we can win this championship! "
Carlisle's words, like adding fuel to the fire, directly aroused the emotions of the Wizards players.
Seeing the excitement in Yao Ming's eyes, seeing McGrady open his blurred sleepy eyes again.
Carlisle can feel that this Wizards team will never lose so easily, never!
