After the early opening of the ticket window at the Verizon Center Arena, fans quickly lined up.They all want to get in early and see the players on both sides who are going to play as soon as possible.
Xu Tian hadn't played a game at the Verizon Center yet, so he was basically completely unfamiliar with the stadium. He came to the venue early and was familiar with everything here.
There are 82 games in the NBA regular season, which inevitably makes players feel tired. At this time, it is necessary to find something new to reduce the fatigue in the heart.Xu Tian regards playing away games as tourism, and his mentality is relatively relaxed.
In order to give back to the fans on site, the Verizon Center Arena discounted Wall and Bill's jerseys by [-]%, allowing fans to enjoy the benefits and increasing the sales of jerseys.
The NBA officially released the latest week's regular season MVP list. Below are the top ten lists:
1: Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
2: Xu Tian (Los Angeles Lakers)
3: Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs)
4: LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers)
5: Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans)
6: Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
7: James Harden (Houston Rockets)
8: Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)
9: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)
10: Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Westbrook is not happy with the tenth ranking.He believes that he is not weaker than Curry, and he can completely occupy the top five positions.
Mark Madsen saw the new MVP list before the game, and was a little worried about Xu Tian's prospect of competing for MVP.
Xu Tian changed into a full set of equipment, put the braces inside the knee pads, and did stretching and warm-up exercises in the locker room.This has become a habit, and teammates are not surprised.
Nick Yang is also the spokesperson of Li Ning, but he has no personal series of sneakers. He is tired of wearing angel wings and prepared a pair of Wade Way.His playing time has also been declining recently, but he doesn't really care.
The Lakers themselves are a big player in traffic, and they are close to Hollywood. Now they have a good record and a high degree of exposure.The news of the engagement of Nick Young and Iggy Azalea was fired up, which virtually made him have a much higher traffic than most of his teammates.
Scott ignored off-court factors, and let Xu Tian serve as a defensive engineer in this game, liberating George and increasing the offensive role.
When several star players are on the same team, one cannot sacrifice their style of play, but all of them should make sacrifices, and try to ensure that everyone can occasionally perform well.With Xu Tian's consent, this is one of the means to win people's hearts.
The live host at the Verizon Center stood on the court, warming up the atmosphere and getting the fans into the state in advance.This was the last time Kobe played in this arena, and they wanted to impress Kobe.
Home team locker room.
Wall and Bill were sitting together, and the IPAD in Wall's hand was playing Xu Tian's game highlights, all kinds of dunks and passes without looking at others, which were very enjoyable to watch.
Brazilian Nene Hilario is a center/power forward, commonly known as Nene, who spent the early days of his career in the Nuggets and has been teammates with Anthony for a long time.This inside player has a tough style of play. When he saw the highlights of the game being played, he couldn't help but stop.
Marcin Gortat is Nene's inside partner, nicknamed the Polish Hammer. He was once a substitute player for Warcraft Howard and reached the finals with the team.He noticed that Nene, Wall, and Bill were looking at something, and walked over slowly out of curiosity.
Nene heard footsteps, turned around and saw that it was Gortat, his inside partner, and asked, "Xu seems to be very good at blocking dunks. Are you sure you can block him?"
Gortat looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and the highlight was played to the mid-range part of the emergency stop. After a while, he said: "The most difficult thing to guard against him is that the offensive end changes too much. Even if he really wants to block the dunk, it is difficult to predict."
Nene is also a defensive champion, and he agrees with Gortat's words, but they have no choice but to hope that their outside teammates can delay Xu Tian more.
Otto Porter is the starting small forward of the Wizards. He has good shooting ability. He is 203 cm tall and weighs 93 kg.Knowing before the game that Xu Tian was the main defense, I was full of tension and sat on the chair without any movement.
Scott Brooks was a member of the Rockets in 1994 and became the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008. He has coached Durant, Westbrook and Harden, and won the best coach award in 2010. In 2012, he led the Thunder to the Finals, but ended up losing to the Heat, which was a pity.
Last summer, the Thunder announced the dismissal of Scott Brooks, who had coached for seven seasons, and made Billy Donovan the team's new coach.
There are many rookies with good potential in the Wizards team, which is just right for Scott Brooks, so the Wizards management signed him to the team.
Scott Brooks' coaching ability is not top-notch. After the players under his hands changed from Durant and Westbrook to Wall and Bill, he failed to lead the team to make much trouble.The Wizards are currently only ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.
After Wall and Bill watched Xu Tian's season highlights, Wall first sighed: "Wow! Judging from the highlights, Xu seems to be an omnipotent player, and he is really difficult to deal with."
Bill didn't answer Wall, and turned to look at Otto Porter who was in charge of defending Xu Tian. Seeing his depressed appearance, he turned around and said something to Wall, and walked over to communicate with Otto Porter.
Scott Brooks ignored the noise in the locker room, immersed himself in drawing on the tactical board, constantly adjusting offensive and defensive tactics, trying to find the most effective way.It was difficult, and it left him scratching his head.
Mark Madsen walked into the visiting team's locker room and immediately saw Xu Tian who was leisurely stretching his legs. He walked over and asked, "Xu, have you seen the latest MVP list?"
Xu Tian kept pressing his legs, and replied, "I haven't watched it yet, what's the matter?"
Madsen said: "The ranking of the top five has changed, but the ranking of you and Curry has not changed."
Xu Tian said: "It's normal! Unless the Warriors lose to the Spurs tonight, there will be basically no change."
The team staff walked into the locker room and informed the players to enter the field to warm up for shooting and prepare for the game that will start immediately.
Xu Tian just finished all the warm-up moves, squeezed his shoulder with his right hand, took the lead out of the locker room, walked through the player tunnel, and trotted into the Verizon Center Arena where he had been waiting for a long time.
The Wizards players entered the arena a minute ago, and the cheers they all got together were not as loud as the cheers that Xu Tian got by himself.
The Americans initially heard rumors about Xu Tian's thorny attributes, and they didn't appreciate him very much, but since he stabilized in the Lakers, all the news about him were basically related to his explosive performance and hard training.Naturally, Xu Tian won the favor of American fans and became the new favorite.
