Chapter 612 Completely crushed! Can the Celtics win the trophy in February? [Subscribe]
That is the dream team composed of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and others at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics!
It was the first time for a professional player to participate in the Olympic Games, it was the first time that the world basketball recognized the horror of American basketball, and it was also the first time that American basketball had a dimensionality reduction blow to the world basketball!
During the game, it is more appropriate for the opponent's players to come to chase the stars rather than to play the game. Before and after the game, they will gather around the players of the dream team to sign autographs and take a group photo. Meet your idol at the beginning of the competition!
In the end, of course, the Dream Team easily won the championship with a complete victory, and each game was able to beat the opponent by more than 30 points!
But it is such a dream team, the lowest odds they get from the bookmaker is only 150 on "August 17"!
Exaggerated, but still better than the Celtics' odds today!
Next to the Celtics is the Los Angeles Lakers at 1500!
That is, if you buy the Lakers for 100 yuan, you can get 1,500 yuan in return after they win the championship!
In other seasons, this odds are generally only available to teams outside the top ten in the league, that is, the 4th to 6th place in the general division, and are generally regarded as teams that can enter the second round of the playoffs. There will be around 1500 odds.
Outside of the Lakers, the third-placed Spurs' odds were directly raised to 2,000, the fourth-place 76ers also had 2,200, the fifth-place Raptors had 2,700, and from the sixth...the odds were all over 5,000 !
Such exaggerated odds and handicap have never appeared in any season in the NBA.
But all of these are proving one thing: In addition to injuries, there is almost nothing that can prevent the Celtics from winning the championship this year!
But don't forget, it's only February! The All-Star Game is still a few days away!
In the middle of the season, such an exaggerated situation occurs, and I am afraid that there will be no second time in the entire history of the league.
And taking advantage of this wave of Celtic popularity, major media also scrambled to start related programs, among which the most popular and the highest ratings were programs from CBS.
It is still Kenny and Smith, who are the hosts, and CBS has recruited Charles Barkley, who has just retired, and Donny Jefferson, a well-known New York media person known for his sharp words.
The four sat in the studio and conducted an in-depth analysis of exactly why the Celtics got such inflated odds.
Barkley, who has made a name for himself in the NBA and retired perfectly after winning three consecutive championships, is a fledgling in the media industry, but he has no stage fright or politeness at all, and directly begins to express his views.
"In my opinion, Celtic should have this odds! This is the embodiment of their strength, my only dissatisfaction is that they should have this treatment and odds last year and the year before! Certainly not because of jealousy ! Certainly not because I think they only have this after I retire, I said that when I wasn't there!
"Look at their record in the past three years! In the 1998-99 season, the league's first winning percentage, lost less than 10 games in a single season, and won the playoffs 15-0! The team also won the best manager, the most Best Coach, Best Sixth Man, Best Defensive Player, and MVP! I just ask, has the NBA ever had such a perfect season? No! Not even close seasons!
"The Celtics this season are completely underrated! I still don't understand why we didn't get this kind of treatment and treatment back then, with all due respect, at the beginning of the '98 season, I thought we were going to win! Then it was Last year, we did lose some good guys last year, we weren't as good as the year before, we didn't sweep the playoffs, but come to think of it, what happened to us in the middle of the season?"
"We fought at Christmas! It's not a glorious thing, but the fact is that Lin Long was suspended for 25 games for it! Before those 25 games, we kept winning! And after these 25 games, we kept Wins! With Lin Long on the team, we had an exaggerated 57 wins!"
"Has this ever happened in the league? Is there any star in the league who can lead his team to a complete victory in his own game? No! The answer is still no! That's what we did last year! I don't understand why we are in We didn't get such good reviews and odds last year! After the fact, we were still underestimated last year!"
"As for this year, what we did this year was no fights on Christmas, no one was suspended, everything else, all the things we've been doing for the last two years and have been doing really well! I don't know. Why are we suddenly so optimistic about the bookmakers this year, only giving odds of 110! 35
"Just because I, Chauncey, Bruce and Terryl left? Just because Gary Payton came? It's all bullshit! It's not fair! They didn't really study this stuff, they just casually Given a number for us to discuss, that's all!
"Finally, if I had to end in one sentence, it's that these betting company actuaries and experts are fucking idiots! They don't understand basketball at all!"
Barkley's tirade made many people want to laugh. …
Although this guy said he was not jealous, every word between the lines was expressing his dissatisfaction.
That's why I gave 3.3 us this treatment after I left? Did it affect the team's output when I was there?
Fortunately, several people on the scene were senior media people. They held back their laughter and did not continue to tease Barkley. Kenny was very experienced and threw the question to Donnie Jefferson to hear what he thought.
This sharp-spoken reporter, also opened his mouth is the most likeable and exciting way of speaking: "One thing, I have the same opinion with Charles! That is that group of actuaries in Las Vegas don't understand basketball at all ! The odds they offer are a reflection of their amateurism and ignorance!
"110? They are joking! No team in this world deserves this odds! There is no possibility of awarding awards in the middle of a season in this world. I have believed in a sentence since ancient times, that is, the heat will die! "
