ALL NOVEL Chapter 402 Crazy G6
Probably because of the so-called completeness of the god combination, which restricted Yao Ming's performance, and also prevented Jordan from ever having an advantage in the duel with Lin Dong.
This has invisibly raised people's expectations for the Sonics' God combination, which has reached a point where it can truly be equal to the Wizards' Go Home combination.
So this time the outside world's predictions were much more rational, and finally the two sides in this confrontation were placed on an equal footing for the first time.
It is generally believed that there is no difference between the two sides in terms of paper strength. What determines the outcome of the game will be each other's performance. In such a balance, the home and away factors will be a key point in determining the outcome.
Therefore, the Wizards in center i will have a high probability of winning G5.
Facts have proved that the predictions of all parties were finally right.
The Wizards didn't make too many tactical adjustments when they returned to their home court. This was actually because the current basis was no longer flexible. Moreover, the loss in G4 was not entirely due to the Wizards' tactics, but more to the SuperSonics. Excellent performance from the outside, as well as Artest's experience in dealing with problems without the ball for the first time.
But Artest in G5 obviously has more experience. He no longer focuses on getting rid of Payton, but spends his energy on confronting Payton.
Your Sakuragi Hanamichi can consume the Wizards' Yao Ming, but Artest can't consume the 34-year-old Payton?
In fact, for both parties, Yao Ming's physical fitness cannot keep up with this most extreme consumption due to his height and weight; but Payton is already 34 years old, and he has come through four tough battles in a row. There is also the issue of physical strength.
Another more important point is that the Sonics' outside line is "misfiring" again.
It may be an exaggeration to say that there was a misfire, but it was indeed not as accurate as in G4, which allowed the two sides to maintain an even score in the first half.
In the second half, Payton's participation in both offense and defense dropped severely due to physical exhaustion. What's even worse is that when Payton's physical fitness declined and Artest's off-ball entanglement was no longer sharp, then Artest Then we can liberate him and then liberate Yao Ming.
It's like a chain reaction of ebb and flow. The freed Yao Ming strengthened the SuperSonics' defense inside, controlled the rebounds and had a stable scoring hand.
This not only caused various problems for the Sonics, not only did the outside firepower misfire one after another, and they missed 6 shots in a row, but they were also in a state of losing ground on the defensive end. It was only thanks to Lin Dong that he managed to hold on to the score. It is always difficult to stand alone.
In the fourth quarter, 119:92, the SuperSonics suffered a huge defeat.
Lin Dong personally scored 58 points, which was already the third highest individual scoring record in the NBA Finals, but it was still useless.
Payton only scored 8 points and 7 assists, and only had 1 steal on the defensive end. In terms of personal data and the overall participation of God's team, he played at his lowest level in the playoffs.
Now, not to mention the Wizards' coaching staff and those professional football analysts, even fans across the United States have seen it.
——The Sonics’ vulnerability is Payton!
Just like before, the Sonics found a different approach, and in the winning G1 and G4, they focused their attack on the Wizards on Artest, the seemingly least important third player, but achieved amazing results.
In G5 that the Wizards won, they also focused their attack on Payton, who had been overshadowed by Lin Dong and Sakuragi before. Moreover, the direction of the attack was also the most uncomfortable physical problem for a 34-year-old veteran.
——Big score 3:2, Jordan has never lost his G6!
——SuperSonics loophole, aging Payton! His physical strength and the waterlogged knee were no longer enough to support him to deal with a brave young man like Artest.
——On June 14th, G6 will decide everything. Jordan will usher in the seventh championship of his career at the SuperSonics’ home arena!
——Remember that man’s name, his name is Michael Jordan!
The national media finally dared to make bold predictions again. After all, it was Dan's moment in G6. In the history of the NBA, in the era when the god of basketball was on the court, he had never lost a G6 game in the finals. No!
The overwhelming momentum turned towards the Wizards, and several major events that followed added a lot of color to this G6 war.
The first major event is that Under Armor's initial public offering on June 10 was a complete success.
A company that wants to be listed on NASDAQ in the United States requires a lot of processes. In addition to various preliminary preparations, it also needs a trial offering, which is the so-called public offering. It must have 90 consecutive trading days and 30 consecutive trading days. During the trading day, the closing price must not be less than 1 US dollar, otherwise it will be deemed that it has not met the continuous listing standards. Even if it is listed, it will be taken down for you, leaving you with nothing.
Holding the initial public offering on the 10th was actually a helpless move by Kevin Plank.
We all know that Under Armour’s booming sales in the United States are almost all due to the fame of Lin Dong, the brand spokesperson. And Under Armour’s ability to obtain listing opportunities with its current market value of 2 billion US dollars is largely due to Lin Dong’s Brand value gives shareholders and investors confidence.
But once G6 loses, Lin Dong's value will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Let alone maintaining stability for 30 trading days, there will be a question mark as to whether it can even be listed on the market.
It's also a rush to get it on the shelves. Anyway, let's release it first.
Fortunately, Lin Dong’s current rivalry with Jordan made the first day of trading extremely popular. UA created the second-highest first-day increase in history. The stock price doubled from US$13 at the opening to US$26 at the close. Under Armor's market value has also doubled from US$2 billion to US$4 billion.
This amount of money... just one day can equal Under Armour's years of hard work and effort.
The 15% of short stocks owned by Lin Dong also allowed him to jump directly from a middle-class person who only received a salary of several million to a millionaire with a net worth of 600 million U.S. dollars. In just one day, he surpassed his mother in the United States. After several years of hard work, Yang Dong was speechless.
It seems that Under Armor is stable this time, and its stock price of US$2.6 billion can survive 30 trading days.
But only Plank knew in his heart that if Lin Dong lost this round of the finals, the consequences would be disastrous.
Nike has never given up its pursuit of Under Armor. This wave of UV sales from US$13 to US$26 has created a historic increase. Behind this is the large-scale purchase of Nike with large capital. The other party has at least invested in this matter. 1 billion US dollars.
If Lin Dong loses the finals, Nike only needs to guide public opinion a little, and the confidence of U.S. investors in Under Armor will be greatly weakened. Coupled with some "financing" rumors, Nike will sell a large amount of stocks first, creating Investors are panicking, and it only takes a matter of minutes for you to drop from $26 to less than $1.
By then, not only will the current inflated market value be paid off in minutes, but Under Armor may also be heavily in debt. Nike may lose hundreds of millions of dollars because of this, but spending a few hundred million dollars can completely eliminate a competitor. , for Nike, it is definitely something that will not blink an eye.
Of course, if Lin Dong wins, then even if the batch of stocks that Nike bought at a large price are sold, it will not affect the market. At most, there will be a plateau after a few days of sharp rises, which is not as good as for Nike. He made a small fortune in his hands, and at the same time joined Under Armour's board of directors as a major shareholder.
In this kind of battle, Nike will not suffer losses regardless of whether it wins or loses. Under Armor is a small family, so they can only passively endure this kind of thing.
With the insertion of this incident, various reports in financial newspapers began to show different power.
Now, not only the basketball and sports circles, but also many big names in the financial world, Wall Street, etc. have begun to pay attention to this basketball game that they would never watch at all. Such cross-industry attention has already brought this game to the forefront. The influence of the G6 has been pushed to a whole new level.
What this caused was national attention...
An overwhelming number of fans from all over the United States began to flock to Seattle, which boomed Seattle's tourism industry and made the city government see the wisdom of its previous investment in Key Arena. Of course, this also caused Seattle to fall into a series of troubles with extreme fans.
First, it was at the Black Forest Bar on the night of the 10th. Some fans from out of town were wearing Wizards uniforms and loudly supporting Jordan in the bar, and they got beaten!
It was the Winchester brothers, the notorious bar kings in Seattle, who took action. Not only did they use knives but also guns. An out-of-town fan's leg was broken and he almost died.
Then there was the retaliation of the out-of-town fans and some gangsters on the morning of the 11th. Although the Winchester brothers had been imprisoned in the police station, they simply smashed up the Black Forest Bar and injured several people. At the same time, they excitedly declared on the Internet Symbolizes the victory of the Wizards.
The Seattle police have a headache. They vigorously strengthened security and patrols, and arrested a few fans from out of town. However, they arrested the wrong person in their busy schedule, causing a large number of Wizards fans to gather for a parade on the night of the 11th, which then attracted Seattle There was a strong response from fans and local gangs.
The two sides fought fiercely. In one night alone, the Seattle Police Department received at least 30 reports of violent incidents. Almost all police forces in Seattle were mobilized. It was difficult to bring all the retired sergeants back to perform their duties. Only then did things calm down, and the Seattle government really saw what it means to be "painful and happy".
If you want this team to establish a business card for Seattle, drive tourism, and drive political performance and reputation, the Seattle government must pay more than just help build an arena...
But on the Internet, the dispute caused by this game has been completely unresolved.
The involvement of the financial industry and various reports on violent fans in Seattle have attracted more onlookers, and the popularity of this NBA game has exploded several times, far exceeding the ratings when Jordan retired. and attention.
The G6 also started under this background.
Facing the crazy away fans and the powerful Wizards, Yang Dong also used her ultimate move.
The Wizards' momentum is now too strong. If she wants to gain momentum, she must fulfill her previous promise!
Although due to the previous speech at the press conference, the league issued new regulations on the same day, explicitly prohibiting such ridiculous things as using home seats to place tiles.
But Yang Dong found a different way. Instead of piling them on the seat, she put them in her bag.
Two large classic LV satchels were placed in front of her seat at the scene. They were brand new and they had just bought them. And when I occasionally glanced at the scene, I saw the brick figure from the opening of the big bag... look. With this capacity, 40 yuan cannot be loaded, but 4 yuan is no problem!
And this picture has become another major attraction and classic of G6, attracting global attention and arousing laughter and heated discussion across the Internet.
This is a supersonic tactical prop!
LV’s large bag matches the tiles. Look at the colors of the two items. It’s a perfect match!
However, the boss of LV, who became unexpectedly popular due to this, was about to cry and fainted in the toilet.
It is true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
A good luxury product, one of LV's most classic bags that showcases the femininity and beauty of women.
Now, witnessed by the global live broadcast, it has actually become a bag containing bricks!
MLGB!
I am a female bag, I am the spokesperson of beauty and elegance. What does your bricks and violence have to do with me?
Don't use my bags to store tiles, why bother buying two of them? Couldn't the Prada, Chanel, Dior, etc. next door be used to store tiles?
How about I give you some Hermes and you can use them to install tiles? I give it away for free, even the platinum version!
