"Andre Golota, a Pole, nicknamed the Polish Bad Boy."

Then Philip briefly introduced Golota's information.

I am 25 years old this year. I started boxing at the age of 13. I am a 7-time Polish national champion and a bronze medalist in the Seoul Olympics. I then turned to professional boxing and came to the United States in 1991 to develop. Currently, I am ranked 22nd in the WBC world, 25th in the WBO world, and 25th in the WBA world.

No. 19.

…

On June 17, 1993, the NBA 92/93 season finals officially kicked off.

The American West Arena was put into use last year and can accommodate more than 18,000 people. Before seven o'clock, the auditorium was already full.

Less than 300 fans came to the Pistons. They were not only die-hard fans of the Pistons, but also people with a small fortune. Otherwise, they would not have the money to support the team in away games. Finals tickets and a four-hour flight were both included.

Air tickets are not cheap, and with the food and lodging for a few days, it is not a small expense.

The finals series was broadcast live across the United States on ABC TV, with the commentators Bill Walton and Lewis Williams.

Williams watched the scene through ABC's camera and said: "There are so few visiting team fans, but there are more than 18,000 Suns fans. Will the morale of the visiting team be affected?"

Bill Walton shook his head and said: "This is the tragedy of a small ball market. Detroit's ball market is getting smaller and smaller. Playing games in the East is close and more fans will go to away games. The West is too far and the cost is too high.

.

As for morale, it doesn't matter, the Pistons only have so many people here, and when they return to Detroit, they will definitely only give the Suns so many away tickets."

At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Pistons: Ronny Seikaly, Dennis Rodman, Mark Aguirre, Joe Dumars, Zhou Quan

Suns: Mark West, Charles Barkley, Richard, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson

After getting the list, Bill Walton immediately analyzed: "Look, Lewis, the Pistons really have nothing to do at the third position. Mark Aguirre is old and injured. Like the Assassins, he should only be a pseudo-starter."

Williams said: "The key to today's game lies in Rodman's defense, whether Barkley can play in form, and the battle between Lightning and Iron Fist. Position one and position four are the key positions of both sides."

Nodding, Bill Walton said: "That's right. In terms of performance stability, Iron Fist is more stable than Barkley. Even if he faces the Lightning, I still think he has the advantage. This is why I am more optimistic about the Pistons."

Williams also nodded and said: "Iron Fist is not weak when facing Jordan. He is a flying man who has reached the top. The pressure on Lightning should not be small."

At this time, the home team's locker room was undergoing final preparations.

The head coach is Paul Westphal, a rookie on the Green Team. He played with the Green Team for three years and the Suns for four years. He finally returned to the Suns and retired instead of choosing the Green Team.

This season is also Westphal's first time as a head coach, and he is a rookie in the coaching world.

He was very lucky to reach the finals in his first year, but he was also under tremendous pressure.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to Barkley and the other five starters: "Don't be nervous, everyone. We must treat the G1 game as a tiebreaker. We must not lose the first home game."

Buckley's legs were shaking and he couldn't hold them down.

Tasting the finals for the first time, he was a little nervous.

Lightning Kevin Johnson's hands are shaking. It's his first time playing in the finals and he has little experience.

As the league's top point guard, he is not very lucky. He is in the same era as Magic Johnson. The Western Conference also has assist leaders like John Stoughton and rising stars like Xiaochong. He has not received any hard honors.

Only two All-Stars, only one start, three best second teams, one best third team, one best month, and then the most improved player in 1989, played for 6 seasons, this is the honor.

Therefore, his expectations for this finals are very high. He hopes to win the championship and even FMVP.

This time his opponent, Iron Fist, was only in his second year, but it put a lot of pressure on him, very big pressure, huge pressure.

Just because Zhou Quan can score 27 points, 10 assists and 4.5 steals on the head of Air Jordan, just because Zhou Quan can eliminate Jordan, it will put huge pressure on him that can affect his mentality.

Even now, when he is about to appear, his chest still feels like an invisible boulder is pressing down on him, making his breathing a little heavy.

None of the Suns' five starters had played in the Finals. Their emotions at this time were all the same: nervous, sweaty palms, and no one spoke.

Paul Westphal has some regrets. Danny Ainge should be put into the starting lineup. He is the only veteran of the Suns with Finals experience.

"It's time!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the staff's voice startled Buckley and others. The five of them quickly stood up and walked out the door.
Chapter completed!
