Chapter 730: ：【The sky is dead, the yellow sky shall stand】

  The second half of the Lakers vs. Spurs started quickly. As Li Zhen expected, San Antonio began to become physically weak.
  Tim Duncan’s rate has dropped significantly, and his lack of physical fitness is bringing him a strong sense of negative pressure.
  And Yao Huang is still in the stage of stamina at this time.
  Almost less than 8 minutes of game time, the Lakers completed the lead on the score.
  The Spurs tried their best to slow down the pace.
  However, Paul, Kobe, and Yao Yang are all master players at a slow pace. Kobe Bryant caught a wave of hands and staged his best crazy impact.
  Yao Huang and Paul played steadily, gradually establishing advantages in their respective positions.
  Nash’s living room became quiet after the start of the second half.
  Everyone is secretly evaluating the strength of the Lakers and the pros and cons of the entire series against the Lakers.
  Although everyone wants to have a break with the Lakers and Kobe.
  However, the Lakers' combat power projected by the TV made everyone take a breath.
   "This Lakers is no weaker than the OK combination of the year." Allen Iverson established the lead in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs were helpless, said.
   Although this sentence made Jason Kidd next to him frown.
  However, it makes sense.
  The strength of this Lakers is at least comparable to that of the OK group. Yao Huang's dominance in the penalty area is certainly not as strong as the Sharks of the year, but now that the interior is withered and the defense is becoming more passive, he can barely be tied.
  Although Kobe Bryant is not as athletic as in the past, he is more willing to pass and share the ball. His experience is much stronger than before, and his ability to control and analyze the game has increased significantly.
  Also, Chris Paul, he must be better than Fisher.
  What the Lakers and that Lakers lack is the degree of running-in between teammates and...the gap between the coaching team.
   Although McBrown is conscientious and dedicated, and he works hard to serve the superstars in the team.
  However, Phil Jackson is the top player in the NBA on how to make superstars more comfortable playing. Throughout his career, as long as he works with the first person in the league, he will definitely win a championship.
  From Jordan, later O’Neal, later Kobe, plus Bruce Lee who fell out last time, all championships were accounted for.
   Frankly speaking, if Phil Jackson did not fall out with Li Zhen in the Knicks. In other words, he is not so eager to prove his abilities, and the number of championships he won as a head coach will be far ahead.
  What a pity.
  He made it.
  Recently, he did show some tendency to think of the Clippers doing things.
  However, he himself hopes to be able to take on some management jobs.
  However, the Clippers are willing to provide him with an assistant coach position, or a better name: team strategy consultant.
   Phil Jackson probably won’t hold on for long before he readily agrees.
  The game on TV was quickly over.
  The camera swept across, and it was all San Antonio's disappointed and frustrated expressions. The fans at home are very sorry.
  But they still applauded the exiting players and encouraged this group of veterans to start all over again.
  The Spurs are a tough team, Vicci is also a strong head coach.
  Believe...this failure will not be their end.
  They will stand up and continue running like an undead cockroach, and if the NBA’s strong team loses the Spurs, it will also be a loss for the NBA.
  However, this season, their story has come to an end.
just now.
  From the muffled and excited voices of the anchors, we can know that everyone has begun to look forward to the Los Angeles Derby.
  Everyone wants to watch a topical straight ball matchup.
  And in terms of exposure, Los Angeles has always been the focus of media pursuit.
  A group of former superstars of the Clippers, plus Li Zhen himself. The super big Big Three on the Lakers side, just imagine the scene of the showdown, enough to make adrenaline soar.
  Tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers' Western Conference Finals were released one minute after the 4:2 elimination of the Clippers.
  Ticketing website was instantly crowded.
  Although the Lakers issued incredible prices for the two home games, far exceeding the tickets for the OK combination finals that year.
  After all, this is the Los Angeles Derby.
  And frankly, during the Lakers' three consecutive championships, any opponent's gold content is not as good as the Los Angeles Clippers.
  In addition to the fact that there are so many wealthy people in California, the inflation in the past decade has been so severe, is it too much for the grandstand ticket to sell for $1,000?
  Compared to the Super Bowl grandstand ticket selling for five thousand dollars, it is simply a conscience price.
  In fact, even if it is sold at such an outrageous price, it is still in short supply. The scalpers increased their efforts to collect votes, which even led to the development of the tertiary industry.
  Many girls from around Los Angeles are rushing into the City of Angels. Sports events often mean a flood of hormones. The advantage of Derby is that it is very periodic and they are all held in the same arena. Don't those fans who are excited about winning the game want to celebrate? Don't those fans who are sad and depressed after losing the ball don't want to vent?
When there is demand, there is market.
   Seize the supply and demand relationship, seize the wealth code.
  The home court tickets for the Clippers will be announced at noon the next day.
  The Clippers sold 20% more expensively than the Lakers. This time they were criticized by the media as stealing money.
  However, fans who hold the Clippers season pass after three years will enjoy a 20% discount.
  And the Clippers announced that if the Clippers reach the finals in the future, these fans will continue to enjoy the discount.
  The direct consequence of such a policy is that more and more fans subscribe to qualify for the season pass after three years, and take the initiative to take out the money and lend it to the Clippers to build a new team free of charge.
  The saliva of the Bass family has flowed down, and this wave of Clippers operation can be said to create a precedent in the NBA.
   Deducts no-cost trading incisively and vividly.
  The Bath family also wants to build a new arena, but...the market space is saturated. California doesn’t need so many basketball halls, let’s talk about it... The Bass family has no confidence to replicate the Clippers' operations again. As Kobe Bryant gets older, even if they own Yao Xuan and Paul, the fans are not so much about the future. Strong confidence.
Because the Clippers have been deeply bound to Bruce Lee, everyone knows that Bruce Lee will never leave the Clippers, and he is only 24 years old, he has not even reached his peak, he is already the winner of the three consecutive finals MVP .
  There is definitely nothing wrong with investing in him.
  "The Clippers showed their ambition to try to overwhelm the Lakers. They won the championship last season and are shaking the Lakers' century-old foundation, but...can they really get what they want?"
   "If the Lakers beat the Clippers in this round of the series. The Clippers' future plans will be full of variables."
   "And once the Lakers lose this series, the framework they overdraft in the future will collapse. If the three superstars Kobe, Yao Xuan, and Paul cannot beat the Clippers, they will be completely hopeless."
   "For both sides, this is a battle with no retreat."
  "The fans of each other are also at war. The Los Angeles Police Department has deployed a large number of police forces to maintain public order during the future Western Conference Finals. The security level has even been raised to the Olympic level."
  "……"
  In the next three days, almost every Los Angeles TV station reported on the status of the two teams. There was gunpowder and gunpowder everywhere over Los Angeles.
  Time Warner TV’s ratings have skyrocketed recently because they signed the two teams’ full live broadcast rights for the next two decades. They can enter the training halls of the two teams for pre-match interviews, and even have close contact with the players of both teams.
  In the Lakers training hall, they took pictures of the team actively preparing for the game.
   Kobe Bryant showed an attitude of being inevitable. He told reporters with a grim expression: "We came this season for the championship. The Lakers will always be the only representative of Los Angeles. It used to be, is now, and will still be in the future."
  Black Mamba showed strong domineering.
  Mc Brown also emphasized that they already have a full set of tactics to deal with the Clippers.
  In the Clippers Training Hall, the Clippers players are also very active in training.
  However, when the absolute core Li Zhen was interviewed, his expression was very relaxed. This person who is often the focus of public opinion surfing told reporters with a calm face: "Although everyone is talking about how powerful the Big Three of the Lakers are, no media has ever praised the Lakers' role players. What does this mean?"
  Bruce asked and answered: "This shows that their team's stars are very concentrated. Other players are ignored."
  "Why is every player on the Clippers full of exposure? This is because each of our players is strong in every position."
  "In my opinion, the battlefield of the playoffs is more like an extension of the bucket concept. We are not competing against whose longboards are more conspicuous, but against whose shortcomings are more adequate."
  Li Zhen finally made a concluding remark: "I think our team will win."
   Immediately, the reporter asked Li Zhen about the Clippers’ new arena and the ticket.
   Li Zhen directly avoided: "This is a management business, I am just a player, I don't worry about their operations."
   Four or two dial a thousand pounds.
  The reporters didn't believe it.
   But in fact, Li Zhen really did not participate in these things.
  But one thing is that the Clippers’ ambition to overtake the Lakers in Los Angeles is obvious.
  Who wants to be the second child?
  Furthermore, with so many shareholders of the Clippers and so much traffic behind them, many upper classes are willing to support the Clippers, which has laid the groundwork for the Clippers to surpass.
  It depends on this season.
  The Lakers this season are basically the strongest Lakers in the next few seasons. It is difficult for the Bath family to form a stronger lineup. They have even begun to worry about the luxury tax for this season. If you increase the weight, how much capital can the Bath family have to burn with others?
  In a sense, this is also a real battle for wealth for the bosses behind the two teams.
  Especially for the Lakers bosses.
  Won, they can continue to rely on the background to maintain the lead...but still can't stop the Clippers from getting closer.
   Lost, they will become the second in Los Angeles after this season. Since then, the river will go downhill, and the Clippers will be flat.
and so.
  How to prevent fans from going crazy for a game like this?
  At least, David Stern is already happy.
  The duel between these two teams will undoubtedly increase the NBA’s brand image, and this year’s revenue figures will be very good.
  David Stern has been in the NBA for 28 years, and he will officially retire in 2014.
  He hopes to leave a perfect league to his successor, a competitive league.
  Now...Although there is an imbalance between strength and weakness. But... the high concentration of top teams does make the NBA more exciting, especially after the East and West finals.
  The NBA even feels like a Super Bowl this season.
   is the highlight.
  Whether the Clippers win or the Lakers win, the league has won.
  ……
  May 27, US Western Time.
  Bruce Lee drove a Rolls-Royce out of the Li’s mansion. Behind his car is a series of luxury cars, such as Aston Martin, Land Rover, Cruiser, Extended Lincoln, Escalade... one is more domineering than one.
  These Li women will all appear at Staples tonight.
  Although it is the Lakers' home game tonight.
  But Ashley Olsen decided to give the Bath family a bit of color.
  "You must win tonight." Anne Hathaway, whose belly is getting bigger and bigger, told Li Zhen.
   Scarlett Johansson behind her even took out a ‘operation manual’ and told him that she had developed a new gameplay.
  This is an invisible spur to Li Zhen.
  If you can't win this game, shareholders will definitely not let him go.
  Even...Ashley Olsen was still there and said: "You have to face the anger of all the shareholders. We will call the other sisters together."
  Um....
  Li Zhen suddenly thought of triathlon, no, it should be triathlon plus marathon.
  Iron man can't withstand this kind of toss.
  So, we must win!
  Li Zhen brought greetings and cheering shouts from shareholders in the locker room.
  In fact, this game does not require any pre-war mobilization at all.
  Old players, except for Artest who has been with Kobe. Which one is not with Kobe and the Lakers? Who doesn't want to have a break with them?
  And young players, are they all struggling to replace the Lakers as the new darlings of the upper class in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles basketball market has been dominated by Lakers for too long, and it's time to move out of the center stage.
  "In addition to winning, you can only win!"
  When Stephen Marbury yelled this slogan, he immediately felt the sense of fatalism and journey of ‘the sky is dead, the yellow sky shall stand.’
  Everyone has a feeling of being chosen by the world.
it's time!
  ……
  Kobe Bryant also went to Staples Arena with his pregnant wife and two children.
  He hopes his family members will witness his victory. He even regards the Western Conference Finals as more important than the Finals.
  [Reading red envelopes] Follow the public.. public account [Book Friends Base Camp], reading up to 888 cash red envelopes!
  In fact, the Bath family also requested this.
  The Bass family can accept the Lakers' loss to the Finals, but they will never accept a loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles.
   "This is a game that cannot be lost."
   Jim Buss personally walked into the team’s locker room to speak of confidence to the players.
  ……
