Chapter 216 Western Finals G5, Black Box Operation
"Fuck, what are you doing? You can lose even if you're riding a horse? The Heat are so useless!"
"Hehe, I laughed. The Big Three can't beat the Pacers."
"A halftime lead of [-] points can be overturned. That James is still bragging about how good the Heat are every day."
"Haha... Isn't this the style that James has always had?"
"Before the Lakers lost, there were people who laughed at them. Now let's see if those Brownies can still laugh?"
For a while, countless fans rant about the Miami Heat on the Internet.
Especially those who bought the ball, can't wait to kill James.
Thanks to their belief in the Heat so much, even after halftime, some people began to celebrate in advance.
What's more, I have already figured out what to buy with the tickets I won today.
In the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and the ducks in the pot flew away.
How uncomfortable this feeling is, only those guys who gamble know best.
"I really didn't expect that the Indiana Pacers forcibly tied the big score again."
For the result of this game, Kobe was somewhat surprised.
When he saw that the Heat had such a huge lead in the first half, he also thought that the Pacers were finished.
"Qin, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Kobe looked at Qin Xiao beside him and asked.
Qin Xiao said calmly: "What is there to be surprised about? In competitive sports, it is still unknown who will win and who will win. Maybe they will play a tiebreaker!"
"What? Tie-break?! Do you think the Pacers can still win?"
Everyone wanted to split Qin Xiao's mind to see what he was thinking.
At least in their view, this is the Pacers' last victory.
The reason why the Heat lost this game is that they let down their vigilance in the second half, and the final result also taught them a painful lesson.
Anyway, the Miami Heat are also the defending champions, and they won't let this happen again.
So even if the big score is now tied, most fans still think that the Heat can solve the battle in Game [-].
In fact, the reason why Qin Xiao said that was entirely because he knew the future script a long time ago...
After all, he is a time traveler, so there is still a need for cheating.
It's just that the league explicitly prohibits players from buying balls, otherwise, Qin Xiao would have made a lot of money long ago.
But he himself doesn't like gambling, and even despises this kind of behavior.
"Qin, are you joking?"
"Let me put my words here. If the Pacers can reach the tiebreaker with the Heat, I will be in front of everyone!"
If it is to be said that Artest is playing hard, he dares to say this.
"Cough cough..."
"This is too serious, I'll just say it casually, don't take it too seriously, no one will bet with you!"
"It's fine if you eat Xiangxiang, but you don't have to!"
Qin Xiao saw that Artest was playing so well, and immediately refused. After all, it would be embarrassing if he really wanted to eat Xiang in public.
……
Meanwhile, in the NBA commissioner's office.
David Stern stood quietly by the window with a cup of coffee, looking at the neon lights outside the window with deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
The assistant stood cautiously behind him, as if waiting for an order.
After a long time, when the last sip of coffee was finished, David Stern finally spoke slowly: "Notify the three referees who will officiate the game tomorrow, and we will have a meeting in half an hour."
"Okay, Mr. President."
In the conference room of the office building, three referees waited for the arrival of David Stern.
They didn't look nervous, as if they were used to it, and even knew what meeting Mr. President was going to hold.
A few minutes later, the meeting room was pushed away, and David Stern walked in alone without any documents in his hand.
"Everyone, everyone must be aware of the purpose of asking you to come here."
"That's right, let the San Antonio Spurs win tomorrow's game, so I don't need to teach you how to do it?"
"Also, if this matter gets out, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After leaving these few words, David Stern left first.
The three referees stayed to discuss tomorrow's refereeing standards.
It is not difficult for the referee to influence a game, but it is difficult for the fans not to see it.
This will test their level of judging. If this matter is done, the benefits will naturally be indispensable.
After all, the pay is low, and no one wants to do it.
For the sake of profit, the alliance has always operated in secret, but some people don't believe it.
……
On the evening of the second day, at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles.
Looking around, the full auditorium was a sea of purple and gold.
Los Angeles fans entered the arena early, waiting for the game to come.
In their view, tonight is the night the Lakers advance to the Finals.
"Looking at the last game, we have no reason not to advance!"
"That's right, that old fox Popovich has nothing to do."
"We have thoroughly understood all his tactics and on-the-spot adjustments. How can he win against us?"
"What's more, tonight is still at our home court, and it's only a matter of time before we send them home!"
"Guess how many points we can win tonight?"
"No matter what, you have to start with [-] points!"
"Haha, the opponent is the Spurs anyway, save some face, don't win by [-] points, just win by [-] points."
It can be seen that Lakers fans have no psychological burden at all.
They even discussed the topic of how many points to win, which completely ignored the Spurs.
At this time, the two sides are making final preparations in their respective locker rooms.
"Listen, we have absolutely no way out. In this game, we can only win, not lose!"
Popovich said to all the players with a serious face.
"Coach, we're going to give it our all tonight! I promise, we'll be back in San Antonio."
Duncan took the lead.
"We must win the game!"
Yaodao and others responded one after another.
The Spurs are worthy of being a veteran team. Facing such a tense situation, they still have firm beliefs.
On the other side, in the Lakers locker room.
"Guys, in order to win more rest time, we must win tonight's game and meet our opponents in the finals with the best attitude."
"So no matter what, everyone must go all out tonight and show their best form. I believe that each of you will not disappoint me!"
The mustache made big pies at Kobe and the others.
Although he has almost no ability to adjust on the spot, when it comes to drawing big cakes, he is at the level of a master.
After a while, players from both sides came out to warm up before the game.
The reporter originally wanted to conduct pre-match interviews with the coaches of both sides, but they did not expect to be rejected by both.
And the reason for the refusal is the same, that is, to put all your attention into the game and not want to do some useless things before the game.
A few minutes later, the warm-up was over, and G5 of the Western Conference finals officially started!
