Chapter 371 Great Teacher, Here We Come!

The "most legendary conference semifinals in history" between the Seattle SuperSonics and the San Andio Spurs is over.

The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Spurs 3-1 in San Antonio.

Start with perfection and end with perfection.

The discussion of this series between the Spurs and SuperSonics did not stop because of the SuperSonics' advancement.

This series is recognized by the national media as one of the most legendary series in history.

There are almost endless topics and highlights in this series.

If possible, many people even hope that this series can not end and continue to play.

This is a series where every game creates a legend.

In this series, any fan can see what they want to see.

Even if you are not a fan, you can find what they are looking for in this series.

At the end of this series, the height of this series has risen to an unbelievable level for fans across the United States and even the world.

"As the commissioner of the NBA, it's difficult for me to comment on my favorite game. I love every game in the NBA, and I also love every series in the NBA. They are equally important in my mind."

"However, you are right about one thing. This series between the Spurs and SuperSonics is what excites me the most. It is not because of its ratings or attention. It is the dream and fairy tale of the NBA. It opens the door to a new world.”

"Friends, you can also cheer for the winners and cry for the losers in the NBA. NBA applause and tears are no longer cheap, they shine with dazzling brilliance!"

This is what David Stern said in an interview after Game 5 between the Sonics and Spurs.

Quite touching.

David Stern is the commissioner of the NBA. For him, an NBA game is over when it is over. The NBA rarely uses official forms to celebrate the end of a game or the end of a series.

Because it takes away the focus from other games that are going on.

As the president of the NBA, the most important thing is fairness and justice.

At the very least, it must appear fair and just.

Now, for this series between the Sonics and the Spurs, David Stern doesn't even care about superficial fairness.

As the commissioner of the NBA, David Stern is now personally off the court promoting, publicizing, and hyping this series that has ended.

What is the purpose of hyping and promoting a series that has ended at the risk of diverting the remaining two groups of semi-finals that are still in progress?

Of course it is for his tireless dream of fighting against the NCAA!

The whole world knows what David Stern’s dream is now.

After bringing the NBA back to life and bringing it to the highest possible commercial peak.

Although the NBA has now fallen from its peak, David Stern's goals and dreams in the third stage have never changed.

David Stern's dream in the third phase of the NBA is to allow the NBA to compete with MLB.

It would be the best to surpass MLB and become the second league.

Even if they can't surpass them, they can't let the NBA and NHL compete for the bottom position among the four major professional leagues, right?

David Stern has always understood that if the NCAA existed, it would be impossible for the NBA to compete with MLB.

Each of the four major professional leagues has its own NCAA.

But the NCAA influence of basketball is the strongest.

Even the NFL and the NCAA, the number one sport in the United States, have less influence in the United States than the basketball NCAA.

It can be said that the NBA has always been the shame of the four major professional leagues.

There are really few professional leagues that are suppressed by the NCAA.

Do you want to retire with such shame?

Of course not!

From the Charlotte Hornets to the Charlotte Bobcats, David Stern has never given up on his ambition to take down the NCAA.

He knows very well that if the NCAA does not collapse, the NBA will not be so good.

Even now that Yes has entered the NBA, the NBA's top ratings are already rising.

But this is not enough.

Maybe now Yes games can compete with this MLB game for ratings.

But how many games does Yes play in a season?

Even with full play, it was only 110 games.

Each MLB team, ranked second among the four major leagues, plays at least 162 games per year.

If you want to increase the NBA's influence in the United States, the overall attention must be comprehensively improved.

If the NBA's attention is raised, of course it will be poaching from the NCAA.

How powerful is the combination of NCAA basketball fans and NBA basketball fans?

Yes' current attention is the product of their union.

As long as the NCAA is destroyed and NCAA fans see what they want to see in the NBA, then the NBA will not have only one Yes!

As long as the NBA can have a few more Yes!

As long as the NBA can have a few more home teams that are loved by NCAA fans.

By then, it will be the peak moment of his life!

Originally, David Stern thought his third-stage dream would never come true.

Who would have thought that the appearance of Yes would give him another chance!

On a special plane from San Antonio to New York.

David Stern looked at the stacks of newspapers in his hand with a very satisfied smile on his face.

The front pages of the eight major newspapers in the United States are all about the news that Yes scored 60 points in the playoffs yesterday.

Major newspapers in the United States are now using very heavy space to report the news that the SuperSonics defeated the Spurs and took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

This is the attention that Yes and the SuperSonics are getting in the United States right now!

Even Jordan and the Bulls back then couldn't compare!

Without these newspapers, the NBA's ratings have already been proven.

What if more people and more teams in the NBA are bombarded like this in the future?

What a dream!

If it’s not really impossible, who wants to retire with regrets?

Maybe I really need to think about it again!

David Stern's eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

On the other side of the special plane, Adam Silver sneezed involuntarily. Why did he suddenly feel cold?

Adam Silver couldn't help but touch the mirror on his head.

The Sonics returned to Seattle after defeating the Spurs and received an unexpected welcome.

Since acquiring Leafs, the Sonics have replaced the University of Washington as Seattle's most popular team.

Every time I come back from an away game, I get a super welcome.

But this time...

"The atmosphere in Seattle right now is as if the Sonics have won the championship!"

May 16, 2007, Seattle, Ye Si's lake house.

Today is the Seattle SuperSonics promotion party.

Anthony Washington and Dean Simmons are now drinking with Leafs.

Of course it was the two fat men who were drinking, and Ye Si was drinking water.

In the Yees family villa, not only are these two people there, but there is also another one of the Garfield Five, current Lakers dribbling guard Will Conroy.

After the Lakers were eliminated by the Suns, he returned to Seattle after dealing with matters in Los Angeles.

In addition to the Garfield Fab Five, there are current UW players as well as Avery Bradley and Garfield High School players.

The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Spurs to advance to the Western Conference Finals, which was a big celebration for the entire Seattle.

It's like the Seattle SuperSonics have won the championship.

"The Spurs are the team that SuperSonics fans care about most. Eliminating the Spurs is enough to win the championship among SuperSonics fans."

"Ye was able to advance to the Western Conference finals, and his record in the playoffs for the first time surpassed that of James. Even the black media had nothing to say. After all, he defeated the two strongest teams in the Western Conference in the past few years. Now, Ye is already truly the chosen one, and every Seattleite is proud of you."

"What does it mean to be a true chosen one? Even if there is no playoffs this year, Ye is still a true chosen one!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Conroy smiled and downed the drink.

There was a smile on his face, but he was filled with sighs in his heart.

Under the leadership of Kobe Bryant, his Lakers had already been eliminated.

The Rockets where Brandon is now are also being beaten by the Suns.

The Garfield Tigers came to the NBA and entered the playoffs. The Leafs were in the worst situation in the playoffs.

But in the end, it seemed that Ye was the only one among the three tigers who might advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Western Conference Finals!

A goal that many NBA players strive for throughout their lives.

Just like that, he was stabbed by Ye.

You know, Kobe's best result now when he leads the team alone is still in the first round.

Brandon's Rockets were so powerful that they were trapped in the Western Conference semifinals and found it difficult to break through.

The Garfield Fab Five?

Conroy looked at Dean Simmons and Anthony Washington, who were now fat as balls, and shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Yes.

Brandon.

I.

Two balls.

The Garfield Fab Five, who were once neck and neck, are now clearly differentiated.

"Will, there is something I need to inform you. The Lakers and Bulls trade for Kobe has basically fallen through."

"Failed?"

Ye Si also pricked up his ears.

He, Roy, and Conroy's agents are Simmons and Washington.

Conroy was also part of the trade between the Lakers and Bulls.

Simmons and Washington also have the opportunity to participate in the trade between the Lakers and Bulls.

They are not Kobe's agents, just Conroy's agents, so they are not deeply involved, but they also know some inside information that others do not know.

After listening to Simmons' retelling, Ye Si was speechless.

The Lakers want Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

Kobe didn't allow the Lakers to ask Luol Deng, and he wanted to be teammates with Luol Deng in the Bulls.

As long as the Bulls can get Kobe, it doesn't matter what they do.

Lakers: I want Luol Deng!

Kobe Bryant: I won’t give you Luol Deng!

Lakers: I want it!

Kobe: I won’t give it!

Lakers: I want it!

Kobe: I'm not leaving!

Lakers:…

bull:……

Not to mention that Ye Si feels speechless now, even Conroy is speechless now.

Kobe and the Lakers inexplicably destroyed the Bulls.

A good Eastern Conference semifinals team with a promising Guard was ruined by Kobe's willfulness and the Lakers' management's unreliability.

"Will, Kupchak said, you are still in the Lakers' plans for next season, and the Lakers are now planning a new deal."

"Kobe's new deal?"

"No, not Kobe's new deal, a super big deal surrounding Kobe!"

Conroy didn't get any sense of security from Simmons' words.

Kobe's purpose in leaving the Lakers was to reach the conference finals like the current Leafs.

Kobe is not leaving now, and his purpose will never change.

The Lakers will try their best to meet Kobe's requirements.

The Lakers will be very strong next season.

Even if he stays with the Lakers, his opportunities will become limited.

Conroy sighed.

I miss the days when I could sprint for my dreams without any worries.

But that's long gone.

Maybe now only Ye can continue his dream without any scruples.

"The sixth game between the Rockets and the Suns begins!"

Curry, who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time, sucked the attention of the entire villa with one voice.

The sixth game between the Rockets and the Suns will be the decisive battle for the Sonics' next opponent.

The Suns advance?

Rockets counterattack?

If the Suns win this game, the Suns will definitely advance.

If the Rockets win, the morale-boosted Rockets are likely to perform the miracle of a 1-3 comeback between the Rockets and the Suns in 1995.

Ye Si looked at the Rocket 7 on TV with some anticipation in his eyes.

For him and the Sonics, there is no difference between playing against the Rockets and playing against the Suns.

but……

Brandon, I've fulfilled my promise!

"Amazing!"

"These two teams are so good!"

For Leafs and Sonics players, this is the sixth Rockets-Suns game they have watched.

They know the power of rockets and the sun.

But for Curry and Isiah Thomas, this may be their first time watching a complete game between the Suns and the Rockets.

The intensity of the game between the Rockets and the Suns was indeed beyond imagination.

Even Ye Si and the others were shocked.

"Van Gundy still doesn't dare to put all his money in this game!"

"Every time we are at a disadvantage, we rely on the magic of the Big Three to win the score!"

"Why can't we make tactical changes?!"

Watching Van Gundy Jr. continue to use Juwan Howard and Hayes to take turns playing four to slow down the Rockets' rhythm during the game, Scott Brusco was helpless to the point of despair.

He can be regarded as a star of the Rockets and won the first championship of his career with the Rockets.

Of course he supports the Rockets in this series.

But now...

Ye Si's heart became heavier and heavier as he looked at Roy who was already lame but still struggling constantly on TV.

Very hard.

Whether it's Roy, Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady, they all work hard.

but……

Their individual efforts cannot make up for the disadvantages of the team's overall play style and the shortcomings of the team's lineup.

Because the sun on the opposite side is also working hard.

This game is not only a competition of strength, but also a competition of will.

116 to 108.

The Rockets, who tried their best, fell down amidst the applause of Rockets fans.

He is sad...

The back of No. 7 on TV is sad...

Ye Si's fists clenched and unclenched.

"Teacher, did you hear that?"

"we are coming!"

"Yes, did you hear that?"

"we are coming!"

The roars on the TV brought Ye Si back to reality.

On TV, the person being interviewed was another team that was trying its best.

Fix Sun!

Conroy, Nash and others looked at the silent Ye Si in disbelief.

Is he the one who supports the will of such a powerful team? !

The master is so awesome!

Curry is excited now.

When can he become a big boss like Master?

This is an MVP player, a championship-level team in front of the world's admiration!
