National Route Center Arena, Visitor Team Dressing Room.

Fisher was pulling Kobe to say something.

This season, Kobe began to "snatch power" in the real sense, and his number of shots soared, and his desire grew even more intense after the tree grew up.

Maybe people from the outside world don’t know, but everyone in the Lakers knows that the conflict between Kobe and O’Neal has reached a completely irreconcilable point.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Lakers' record fluctuates greatly.

What the outside world doesn't know is whether Kobe was willing to give up the right to take action in the first round series, or whether Fisher's credit was due.

Now, Phil Jackson, the Lakers team, has lost its binding force on Kobe, but only this No. 24 pick that entered the league with Kobe, his words are still effective.

"Shaq is getting older, but you have to let people see him get older, so you have to let him attack more."

"You just need to shoot those key balls. Michael is called great not because of how many points he scored, but because of the key shots he hit, the shots of the century."

"Let Shaq dominate the regular time, you dominate the winner, and that will prove that you are the real king of Los Angeles."

...

The reason why Kobe was able to listen to Fisher was not only their private relationship, but also that Fisher was a pleasant person to speak.

To put it bluntly, it is called flattery, and to be better, it means to be what it likes.

Either way, it does work.

For example, what Fisher and Kobe said at this moment.

"The series has just begun, and fans won't remember who played well or bad at the beginning. They only focus on the key battles, so let Shaq attack first."

Kobe nodded after hearing this.

Don't think Kobe is stupid, his personality is destined to like to listen to such words.

Even if it is the same, it will be different to say it, and the results will be different.

...

Home team locker room.

The Mavericks' players prepared for the game are relatively relaxed, and they are all eager to try.

This is their true battle of revenge.

I was so tragic last season but was eliminated from the tiebreak in the end. I had regrets.

Now the opportunity for revenge is near, making people unable to help but want to shake their legs.

However, there are special ones.

Danpier, I don’t know if he didn’t perform well in the first round, he looked a little absent-minded.

Sun Hao saw it and when everyone else went to the court one after another, he grabbed Danpier.

"You're what we traded for Steve in the summer. If you're easily defeated by Shaq, everyone will feel it's your responsibility."

Sun Hao's words were more direct and more harsh.

Danpier was stunned after hearing this.

This is not nice, but it is very realistic. If he loses to the Lakers, he will definitely be the target of public criticism.

"And, Eric, you have to remember that so many players, we have to get you even at the cost of Steve because we think you are the only one who can compete with Shaq."

What Sun Hao said later made Danpier feel extremely confident.

Well, Sun Hao slapped him and asked him to wake up first, and then gave him a big white rabbit milk candy.

Sun Hao has a high speaking art, and he knows that Danpier is the kind of person with strong vanity.

Looking at Danpier's fighting spirit, Sun Hao knew that his words had worked.

...

The National Route Center Arena was packed and there was a blue ocean.

Cuban was still wearing his blue t-shirt and stood behind the bench.

The difference is that this time he is not with a young girl, but his beautiful wife, Tiffany Stewart.

The two just finished their wedding on the island of Barbados last year. The wedding was very simple and low-key.

This is also their first public appearance on the stadium.

This shows how much Cuban pays attention to this game.

The challenge at home may even beat the Lakers who have just completed the dynasty.

This is something that is exciting for him, a fanatical basketball fan.

In the front row, Scarlett's figure was also captured by the photographer.

When the scene was given, there were also cheers and whistles on the spot.

Scarlett has appeared in the National Route Center Stadium countless times, and fans are almost treating her as part of the game.

In addition to them, there was another person at the scene that attracted particular attention.

LeBron James.

James came to watch Sun Hao play again.

And this time he sat in a higher position.

There have been news that James has begun negotiating with Nike.

There are even rumors that the value of the contract signed by both parties may reach astronomical figures such as 90 million in 7 years.

In the 2002-2003 season, the NBA's salary cap was 40.27 million, and the maximum salary of players who played for 00-6 years was 10.06 million.

In other words, the average salary given by Nike is larger than the maximum salary contract of NBA, and it will take 7 years to pay.

The only signal of doing so is that they will treat James as a storefront for the next decade or even longer.

This sounds crazy.

But it would not be surprising if you know the competitive history of Nike and Adidas sneakers in the NBA.

At the earliest time of NBA, the main brands of sneakers that the league endorsed were Converse and Adidas, and nothing happened to Nike.

Moreover, at that time, the endorsement contracts were basically $100,000 a year, accounting for a very small part of the player's income.

Until, well, the coolest man, Michael Jordan, appeared again.

Jordan's appearance completely changed this situation. After asking Adidas for a 500,000-year endorsement contract was rejected, Nike took the opportunity to win it and created the top brand of personal basketball shoes, aj.

Afterwards, Jordan dominated the basketball court and Nike dominated the sneaker market.

Until Jordan retired, the situation began to change gradually.

Adidas began to devote their energy to the younger generation in the league, and then waited until they played out, McGrady, Kobe, Garnett...including Sun Hao.

In the current NBA sneaker market, even though Jordan's influence is still there, Adidas has actually gained an advantage.

Especially with the launch of the classic sneakers "adidassh95", Adidas has an absolute advantage.

So, Naofu learned from Adidas that he started investing in young people.

James is the main target.

This chosen son with "" on his back is their first card to fight against Sun Hao and Adi in the future.

So from this point of view, the contract they signed with James is not so strange.

Well, in short, James must be short of money in his pocket now.

When the camera was given to James, there was also a burst of cheers at the scene.

The Lakers know what the Mavericks have, and the Mavericks naturally know what the Lakers are.

After O'Neal gained weight, the inside deterrent power was stronger, but the problems that followed were the same as those of Yao Ming after he gained weight, so he couldn't be prevented.

This makes the Lakers' outside and even mid-range defense only rely on other players.

This is one point, which has appeared last season.

Of course, there is another point, that is, the bad form of the Lakers role players.

In fact, before the end of the season, experts have already analyzed these.

The mid-range jump shots from the defenders and centers near the free throw line, as well as avoiding Kobe and O'Neal and playing with other roles, are the best modes to defeat the Lakers now.

Why do experts study this? Because the Lakers are the public enemy of the whole nation!

Sun Hao naturally knew this, so he avoided O'Neal as soon as he came up and captured the role player in the worst form of the Lakers.

Well, the best puzzle for champions in history, this season's diarrhea puzzle Robert Horry.

With one block and one break, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Sun Hao and Nowitzki has become more and more skilled.

The Lakers' choice to face the pick-and-roll is to switch defenses directly.

Phil Jackson also predicted this and loudly reminded Horry to expand outward.
