On the evening of May 19, 2009, Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles was crowded with people.

As the city center of one of the most prosperous cities in the world, the flow of people here has always been very, very fierce.

But compared with the usual flow of people, the current flow of people like mountains and seas is more enthusiastic!

These fanatical crowds coming from all directions have only one destination, and that is the circular building not far away, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Staples Center!

After the Western Conference Finals matchup between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, the showdown between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, and the showdown between Leafs and Kobe Bryant became the biggest topic in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are the darlings of Los Angeles, Kobe is the darling of Los Angeles, and Jaycee is also the darling of Los Angeles!

Yess became famous in the NCAA P-10 League. The core area of ​​the NCAA P-10 League is California, which is Los Angeles. The P-10 League finals are held in Los Angeles and Staples almost every year.

In addition, Los Angeles is a city with a very large number of Chinese and Asians. It can be said that Los Angeles is definitely the base of the three largest coconut flour centers after Seattle, New York and Phoenix!

There are many basketball and NBA-related stores around the Staples Center. When there is a Lakers game, they like to do some activities, such as how many points Kobe Bryant scored, how much discounts the store will give, such as how much the Lakers took.

If you add points, the store will give you something, etc.

This is what happens when the Lakers are playing against other teams.

But after the series matchup between the Lakers and SuperSonics, the activities in these stores around Staples were completely different from before.

Many reporters from China have discovered that the stores around Staples, whether they are basketball and NBA-related stores or non-related stores such as restaurants and hotels, their activities are no longer limited to the Lakers.

In addition, there are tons of supersonics-related activities!

For example, Ye Si will be given discounts based on the data he gets in the game, such as the SuperSonics winning the game or giving out gifts based on the number of points scored, etc.

According to statistics from these reporters from China and around the world, it was shockingly discovered that there is almost a 50-50 split between businesses on the SuperSonics side and those on the Los Angeles Lakers side!

Just as media experts predicted, the probability of promotion for these two teams is the same!

Incredibly close!

"It's hard to imagine the Los Angeles Lakers and Seattle SuperSonics meeting in the playoffs. It's such a scene!"

Looking at the fans wearing Leafs SuperSonics jerseys and Lakers Kobe Bryant jerseys singing and dancing outside Staples Arena, many of them are friends, or even a family!

This scene really shocked Wang Han and many reporters from all over the world.

In fact, many reporters in Los Angeles didn't think of it either.

Although during the regular season, every time the Lakers faced off against the Sonics, there was a lot of coconut flour next to Staples.

But there is a difference between on-court and off-court.

Many fans in the stadium come from all over the world just to watch such a game. As long as they can afford the money, 10,000 rich coconut fans can outnumber the Lakers fans in the stadium.

Press it down.

But off the court, this is the time to truly compete for city influence!

There are now more than tens of thousands of fans gathered outside Staples!

The flow of people coming from all directions was endless, as if people from all over Los Angeles were on the move!

And judging from the characteristics of their clothes, they are really divided in half!

"This series is so special for Los Angeles!"

This series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers is special for more than just Los Angeles.

Same for Kobe!

This is the first time he and Ye Si met in the playoffs!

In the past, every time the two met in the regular season, he was almost always at a disadvantage.

Don't play with those fake things.

Every time he hit Ye Si, he really felt awkward no matter how he hit him.

Unless it feels explosive.

Otherwise, whether it feels good or not, he will feel very uncomfortable playing.

In the past, Kobe would still be confused. When his touch was good, Yes would guard him very tightly. When his touch was not good, Yes would guard him a little loosely.

He was really doubtful before.

Now that he knows, Yes must have understood something a long time ago.

It's like he now understands something the same.

So now that I think about it, when he didn't quite understand it before, he should have been so awkward saying yes.

Yes, this guy is really smart.

I can really bear it.

He has always been an undercover agent, and I have never seen this kid undercover!

This kid has always interfered with his judgment of hand feel. He has never interfered with Yes' judgment of hand feel!

Not to mention that this kid initially changed his defense strategy based on his judgment of his touch.

He had cracked this long ago.

He gradually learned to tolerate the bad feeling.

Later, this kid learned another trick, which was to use force from the front to increase his defensive intensity.

With such a high defensive intensity, unless his touch is explosive, how can he possibly be able to clearly judge whether his failure to score or his poor shooting rate is due to his touch or the opponent's defense?

Therefore, when the final game was decided, he needed to gamble.

No matter whether he feels good or not, Kobe Bryant will take over the game!

If the bet is right, it really feels good, and he is a hero.

If the bet is not right, the hand actually feels bad, he is an undercover agent.

It’s so confusing!

This trick of Yes is really very, very tricky!

Every time the Lakers lose, he is undercover. Even if he has a big heart, he can't stand it!

As a psychological master, it is really embarrassing to be cheated by Yes, a third-year NBA young man.

What's more, the look in Phil's eyes was even more intolerable to him.

That seems to be saying, you said I am not worthy of Yes, but I admit it, can you yourself be worthy of Master Romar?

In short, although Yes is his good friend, he also admires Yes.

But this guy is really not that authentic!

Really, in the past few years, when he didn't fully understand, he was tricked to death!

Kobe, who now fully understands it, is still really angry when he thinks about this.

Looking at the Sonics No. 9 on the other side of the court shooting in the center circle, Kobe had a very excited look on his face.

This series is to let Yes know that Kobe Bryant is still the strongest psychological master!

You can trick me like this, and I can trick you like this!

Anyway, we can't see the feel. Let's see whether you can endure it or I can endure it. Let's see whether you are more experienced in the game you play or I am more experienced in the game played!

"This series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics is definitely the most star-studded series in NBA history!"

As the on-site commentators for this game, both Kenny Smith and Barkley were under a lot of pressure.

There were too many celebrities present.

Although the NBA's on-site commentators are not obliged to introduce the celebrities whose cameras are pointed at, when the big screen at the scene is constantly changing close-ups of people who look like big stars, they will still introduce them to the scene.

It explains a lot of stress.

Barkley and Kenny Smith are actually okay, they are Americans after all.

The two on-site commentators on CCTV, Mr. Zhang Lili and Su Qun, felt uncomfortable.

Every time they met someone they didn't know, the two of them would laugh and laugh and respond in a reasonable tone, making the situation quite awkward.

There are so many stars in Los Angeles!

This is very unfriendly to foreign commentators.

However, although the embarrassment is embarrassing, the excitement is also really exciting.

The more stars there are, the more influence it represents for Ye Si?

What an honor!

What's more, the performance of the Leafs and the SuperSonics in the playoffs this year really exceeded their and domestic fans' expectations.

Western Conference Finals!

Before this year's playoffs started, who would have thought that Yeas could reach the Western Conference Finals?

Domestically, many experts say that this year's NBA playoffs will be a Waterloo year for Chinese players!
