NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 436

So, instead of false greetings, it would be better to have a sword fight, and what's more, is it still called the finals without the smell of gunpowder?

However, Lian Dao didn't underestimate the Mavericks. Historically, the Heat lost to the Mavericks, although there was James' careful thinking.

However, the inside and outside defense composed of Shawn Marion and Tyson Chandler also played a decisive role in it.

Anyway, James' professional ethics is still there, but except for the first game, James played offline in the next five games.

And in the last five games, James averaged 4.6 turnovers per game. Sean Marion's defense is the key here. From Durant to James, Sean Marion's performance on the defensive end is impeccable.

Lian Dao focused on Sean Marion from the videos of Marion's previous games, and indeed there are two brushes.

On the offensive end, Sean Marion's deepest impression on Lian Dao is his shooting posture—it's so **** ugly, with his **** backwards, and he shoots like a wild goose falling on the sand.

But on the defensive end, his versatility from the first to the fifth position is amazing.

"Hacker" Sean Marion, although he is not a superstar, he is definitely one of the most versatile strikers in NBA history.

Sean Marion is definitely a player with the strength to enter the best defensive team. It can only be said that he was overshadowed by Butler's light in the regular season.

Moreover, in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, Marion defended Durant at the last moment and blocked Durant's shot, which was the key to allowing the Mavericks game to enter overtime.

If it weren't for the block, there wouldn't be a foul by Collison trying to stop Nowitzki from shooting.

The Mavericks will not even pass the Nowitzki free throw in one fell swoop.

Marion's personal abilities are very comprehensive, except for his poor ability to hold the ball, he has almost no weaknesses.

It's just that he was born a few years earlier. If he was born a few years later, in the small ball era of later generations, Marion would definitely be the top star in the league.

Helpless, he was born in the wrong era. Although the 32-year-old Sean Marion's defense has not degraded much, his offensive end has not returned to its peak in 2006.

The league announced the schedule for the finals on the 27th, and the finals will officially start at the end of May, that is, at 9 pm on May 31st.

The timing is good for both teams.

The Knicks ended the Eastern Conference Finals on the 26th, and the Mavericks ended the Western Conference Finals on the 25th.

Both teams will probably have 4-5 days of rest, the Mavericks have one more day than the Knicks, but it doesn't really matter much.

After watching the schedule of the first four games, Lian Dao found them to be very good, and they all started around 8-9 pm.

This time period happens to be around eleven o'clock in the morning in China, but in Japan, South Korea and other Southeast Asian regions, it happens to be at noon, and it happens to be able to watch the finals.

Since Yao Ming participated in the draft and joined the NBA, the NBA has actually been taking care of the ratings in Asia.

In the past, many games in the United States were scheduled in the afternoon, but in the past 5-6 years, important games have been scheduled at 8-10 o'clock, this time period.

For the Asian region, this time period is exactly at noon, which does not affect watching the game in the slightest.

Of course, although the time here in the United States is at night, it is also a prime time period, and the United States is used to watching games at night.

Moreover, the NBA has made huge fortunes from the Asian region in recent years.

Broadcasting rights, NBA peripheral products, advertising sponsorship, etc., the money is amazing.

The NBA's management pays special attention to this market in Asia, especially David Stern.

Back then, he took the Michael Jordan video and wanted to knock on the door of the Chinese market.

Although the video of Michael Jordan's game did cause some sensation, the "NBA" in the far east did not cause much repercussions.

It was not until Yao Ming joined the NBA that this huge eastern market was really opened up, and the NBA was not well known to the Chinese.

At that time, Stern understood how much a Chinese superstar in the NBA contributed to the influence of the NBA.

He expects more Chinese players to enter the NBA, but neither Yi Jianlian nor Sun Yue can reach the height of Yao Ming.

Until the appearance of Lian Dao, he once again saw hope, saw the hope of saving the quagmire of the Knicks, consolidating and expanding the Chinese market.

But now, it turns out that he was right. The huge attention of the Knicks, coupled with the huge market behind Liantao, and the influence of Liantao itself in the world, made Stern see great wealth, huge influence.

Although Kobe and James are well-known in China, they are definitely not household names. There is a range of their fan audience, and the age of 15-35 is in this young range.

Although other age groups may be familiar with Kobe and James, they will not pay too much attention to a foreign player.

But Yao Ming and Lian Dao are different. They belong to Chinese local players. Their strong sense of national pride will make men, women and children spontaneously pay attention to this aspiring young man who is conquering foreign lands.

Moreover, Lian Dao is younger than Yao Ming, he is less than 20 years old, and his career is long enough to make some NBA veterans salivate.

In this way, even if Yao Ming retires in the future, as long as Lian Dao is around, the NBA's influence in China will not decline.

The Mavericks arrived in New York on the 28th. They just came out of New York International Airport and were taking the team bus to the hotel where they were staying.

Looking at the bustling streets of New York, Nowitzki also knows why so many rookies are eager to come to New York. No one will refuse the prosperity and luxury of the largest economic city.

Dallas is actually the third largest city in Texas and the ninth largest city in the United States. Its GDP also ranks among the top ten in the United States, but everything in the world is afraid of comparison. Compared with New York, Dallas is like a countryside.

Of course, although New York is prosperous, it is not enough to cause Nowitzki to have any psychological fluctuations, otherwise he would not have one person, one city, and stick to it to the death.

What made his heart fluctuate was the bustling high-rise buildings, billboards on the street, some banners on both sides of the street, posters on the banners, and video clips played on the large LED display.

The character Nowitzki in these posters and videos is very familiar, that is Lian Dao.

"This **** didn't expect to have such a big influence in New York?"

When Sean Marion saw Lian Dao's handsome face on the poster, his teeth itched with hatred. He hadn't forgotten the previous punch, but Lian Dao's popularity in New York also shocked him.

"Yeah, two years, just two years, he has become the hero of this city, the soul of this city!"

"Sean, have you noticed that many pedestrians on the street are wearing Knicks No. 1 jerseys, even some casual T-shirts, some of the prints on them are the Knicks No. 1 logo."

Nowitzki observed very carefully. He focused on watching Lian Dao's game video repeatedly in the past two days. Now he is too familiar with "No. 1", the jersey number.

"It's really Dirk, this kid is interesting!"

Jason Kidd heard what Nowitzki said at this time, so he also leaned on the bus window and looked out, and found that it was true.

"If you go to the street at this time and say something bad about that kid, you will probably be surrounded by this group of New York fans and beat you up!"

Kidd rubbed his chin, looked at Sean Marion and Tyson Chandler with a smile on his face and said.

"Hehe!" Tyson Chandler and Sean Marion laughed dryly~www.mtlnovel.com~ When they came to New York, they wanted to teach them a lesson, the boy who embarrassed them before.

Now it seems that if they dare to do something, they probably don't need Lian Dao to make a move. It will be difficult for them to get out of New York because of how much New Yorkers love that kid.

At this time, these two guys no longer dared to retaliate.

However, Jason Terry, who is one of the NBA's "five nerve knives", sneered and didn't speak.

As soon as the Mavericks arrived at the hotel where they were staying, they were besieged by reporters. When the reporters saw the Mavericks players, they all jumped on them like cats smelling fish.

But Nowitzki and the others walked ahead and did not intend to accept an interview.

Nowitzki and the others are exhausted all the way, and they are really not in the mood to deal with the interviews of this group of reporters.
