Chapter 249
Time flies.
April 18, 2010.
The playoffs are officially here!
8pm.
Staples Center.
There is still an hour until the Clippers and Thunder playoffs.
But... the whole arena is already packed, gongs and drums are blaring, firecrackers are blasting, and the atmosphere is so hot that it seems to rival the Super Bowl.
In the commentary booth.
Reggie Miller shouted excitedly:"Su Hao + Curry vs. Durant, Westbrook and Harden, all young players.
All talented players.
All... new teams that are entering the playoffs for the first time.
Last year's Clippers were at the bottom of the Western Conference. Last year's Clippers were also outside the top 12, and were still a long way from the playoffs.
This year.
Both entered the playoffs.
What did they rely on?!
Super talent, and... abnormal growth under supermodel talent.
Durant, who is only in his third year, is already an All-Star player, and can rush to the top five in the league at the small forward position.
Westbrook's growth is also amazing. At most one or two seasons, he will definitely become an All-Star guard.
Although Harden is a rookie, his talent should not be underestimated, and he is also growing rapidly.
I dare not say for sure, maybe... In the future, all three of them can become MVP-level players.
And the Clippers twin stars will definitely have the opportunity to become MVP players in the future."
""Woooow"
Barkley couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this:"MVP level? The Thunder's three youngsters? Although it is possible, it's a bit too early to say.
Now,
I can only admit that Su Hao and Durant will become MVP level players.
In addition... if you want all five of them to become MVPs, then there will definitely be a situation where each of the five will be the king!!!"
"Hmm?"
Reggie Miller was stunned after hearing this, then he was delighted,"When these five people are kings in different teams, the league structure will definitely change drastically.
Such a league seems to be completely worth looking forward to!"
"Haha, yes."
Barkley nodded, and then said:"But... that is a matter for the future. Now we will focus on the series.
The Clippers twin stars vs. the Thunder's three youngsters. It is a pure talent duel series. I dare not imagine how exciting it will be.
But... after all, it is a duel between the first and eighth in the West. After a season of testing, the Clippers are undoubtedly the stronger team.
They have a greater chance of winning.
If the Thunder wants to win the series, how to effectively limit Su Hao's performance is something they need to study in this round of the series.
I don't know if there are any countermeasures now."
"Who knows, so... let's wait and see."
Before the game, the two commentators kept warming up for the game.
After chatting for a while, Reggie Miller and Barkley received a message in their headsets. Their pupils dilated slightly and they looked at each other.
Reggie Miller smiled and said,"Charles, what do you think is different about the stadium tonight? It seems that there is something different."
"Oh?"
Barkley pretended to be puzzled and echoed,"It seems that there is something different, but I can't tell what it is?"
"It's the basketball stand."
Reggie Miller said with a smile,"When the playoffs came, after the NBA officials prepared for several months, finally, when the playoffs started, the original basketball stands were replaced with new ones with higher quality and more durable.
The reason for this is that Su Hao, who is 2.3 meters tall, weighs 400 kilograms, and can bench press 320 kilograms, has a dunk that is too destructive and has the title of"ball stand crusher".
The basket, backboard, and even the basketball stand, all can't resist him. He destroys the basketball stand again and again, which greatly increases the safety risks of the game.
At the same time, the continuous destruction of the basketball stand will also interrupt the rhythm of the game and affect the fans' viewing experience.
Although most fans are still eager to see players destroy the basketball stand on the spot, it will only make everyone more excited.
However, from the perspective of the league and from commercial considerations, such scenes should not be too frequent, so there are new basketball stands of higher quality.
It is said.
Because of the high cost, except for the unlimited supply at the Staples Center, the other teams are only equipped with three, two for games and one for backup.
Of course, the small supply is also because the NBA officials have enough confidence in the quality. Except for force majeure factors such as aging, the physical fitness of basketball players will hardly damage the basketball stand under normal dunking.
"
"Hahaha!"
Barkley couldn't help laughing after listening to it."In the past, because the quality of basketball stands was not high, they were destroyed by many players in the league, and then the quality of basketball stands was improved. I think it is reasonable.
But now... because of a player, the quality of basketball stands is specially improved. This sounds incredible.
Su Hao's destructive power is too terrible.
It is precisely because of his destructive power like a"prehistoric crocodile" under the basket that the Clippers have become the strongest in the West.
He can lead the Clippers, who were at the bottom of the West last year, to win 52 more games this year.
Su Hao... He is the"No. 1 center in active service", let him be the user and quality inspector of the new basketball stand tonight."
The two commentators said something.
The fans heard it clearly.
Their eyes fell on the brand new basketball stand, and at the same time... marveled at Su Hao, a rookie, and asked the league to modify the rules for him.
On the court.
The warm-up is coming to an end.
Players from both sides also learned that this is a brand new basketball stand.
Curry found Su Hao and said with a smile:"Su, how about... dunking? Check the quality of the new basketball stand specially tailored for you"
"No.
Su Hao refused.
"Why?"
Curry wondered.
"Well……"
Su Hao thought about it, raised his eyebrows and smiled:"I'm afraid that if I destroy it, it will make the alliance lose face."
"Ah"
Curry was stunned, then laughed.
Immediately afterwards, he ignored Su Hao and rushed forward, making a domineering one-handed slam dunk, replacing Su Hao to inspect the quality of the basketball stand.
"good!"
"Really cool"
Gordon and Jordan cheered for Curry and gave him enough face
"Hehehe"
Curry is very happy, as happy as a 500-pound elementary school student.
The Thunder side
"Boom!"
Young and energetic, Westbrook, who was playing in the air, rushed up and made a violent"C-shaped" dunk.
He bombarded the basket with both hands.
What?!
The basket did not move at all.
"Wow"
Westbrook was surprised,"This is really hard quality!"
"Oh?!"
Durant blinked, and without saying anything, he rushed up and dunked, and also felt the quality of the new basketball stand.
After the commentator's introduction, both sides set off a dunk frenzy.
With the players' fancy dunks and the fans' passionate cheers, the first game of the first round of the 09-10 season playoffs is here!!!
