Chapter 241 Lakers
The playoffs between the Chinese and the Lakers is also the first playoff game of the season, and a few hours later there will be a game between the Celtics and the Magic in the Eastern Conference.
But everyone's focus is on the derby between the Chinese team and the Lakers. Even this time, the number of countries broadcasting this game reached three digits, and the number of radio stations reached four digits.
All the basketball-loving stars from Los Angeles came tonight, and even Avril Lavigne ran over from New York. In her words, she must come when her family’s animals play such a crucial game.
Taylor still sang at the beginning of the game. She has almost become the spokesperson of the NBA. Whenever there is an important game, she will attend.
Of course, it's also because today is the match between her two favorite teams. If it's another team, it doesn't matter whether she comes to see it or not, let alone participate in these activities.
"Tonight we will impress you!" O'Neill grinned at Xing Tian and the others with a grin. O'Neill had been looking forward to this derby for a long time, and finally gave Xing Tian some color tonight.
"I hope you don't end early!" Xing Tian gave O'Neill a blank look. The fat man always jumped like that every time, but he really couldn't refute his opponent this time.
O'Neal and Yao Ming came to the middle circle, and Kobe and others also finished their greetings and returned to their positions. The most watched game in the world is about to begin, but the relationship between the players has not reached the state of mortal enemies.
The referee also walked to the middle circle with the ball, looked at O'Neill and Yao Ming with his eyes, and signaled them to prepare to jump the ball.As soon as the whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown into the air.
In this game, the referee didn't have to warn them to pay attention to what to do during the game. Their relationship was very good, and fans in Los Angeles often saw them go out to eat together.
So the referees will not be careful about them because this time, because of the importance of the game, the atmosphere of the game has become serious, the action has become bigger, and incidents such as fights have occurred.
O'Neill's chubby hands touched the basketball one step ahead of Yao Ming, but Yao Ming's latter took the lead and patted the basketball on Xing Tian's position.
Such a situation is very rare, and Yao Ming's explosive power has not reached this level at all.It can only be said that this time O'Neal was too confident and did not give the racket to his teammates immediately.
Xing Tian didn't expect that O'Neal would lose the jump ball at all, but he rushed towards the Lakers half court as soon as he pushed hard, but was stopped by Kobe before entering the three-point line.
After all, Kobe knew Xing Tian very well, and Kobe didn't trust O'Neal.This guy O'Neal often doesn't train, and basically quarrels with a paranoid like Kobe every day.
The probability of this kind of losing the ball is too great, not to mention that Kobe could predict it, even Johnson felt it, and rushed over quickly, Xing Tian could only stop the ball under the double-team of the two.
"I knew that fat man would throw a jump ball!" After Kobe stopped Xing Tian, he complained to O'Neal without hesitation.Kobe rarely talks so much on the court, and there is no way O'Neal let him down too much.
"Then you should trouble him, why stop me!" Xing Tian rolled his eyes at Kobe and lowered the ball in his hand, otherwise Kobe would take out the ball at any time.
When Xing Tian first started practicing with Kobe, he was cut off many times by Kobe.It can be said that Xing Tian can have today's excellent dribbling, Kobe's contribution is indispensable.
At the same time, Kobe can have so many offensive methods, among which Xing Tian is credited.Every time Kobe came up with a new offensive method, he would find Xing Tian to swear, if even Xing Tian was a big deal, he would not get in the game.
Kobe didn't speak, but shrugged and said he didn't think so.The two also had a wave of communication under their hands, and Xing Tian pulled the ball behind him, avoiding Kobe's ball.
At this time, the Chinese team also came back, but facing the Lakers' defense, the Chinese had no chance at all. Xing Tian could only pass the ball to Zhu Laoba who ran over, and Zhu Laoba returned to Xing Tian's hands after a while .
But at this time, it was no longer Kobe in front of Xing Tian, but Lord Baylor.When facing Kobe, Xing Tian couldn't use many moves, after all, the two were too familiar.
Many of Xing Tian's offensive methods were learned from Kobe. It is more likely that Xing Tian will fail to play against Kobe, so Xing Tian decided to pick and roll to break through.
Yao Ming came up to pick and roll Xing Tian, and then entered the penalty area with Xing Tian one after the other.Xing Tian met O'Neal and passed the ball directly to Yao Ming.Xing Tian didn't hesitate at all, he never thought about something as crazy as eating O'Neill alone.
After all, Yao Ming is not a player like Stoudemire. After receiving the basketball, he cannot directly enter the penalty area. He can only hold the ball with his back against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is defending him, and then turn around and hook.
Fortunately, the basketball fell into the basket very obediently. This is also the way the Chinese team has been playing games.
The Lakers didn't have any communication, and everyone ran directly to the frontcourt.It can also be seen that the relationship within the Lakers is not very harmonious. If it is not a group gathering, it is estimated that they have no communication at all except in their playing life.
On the professional basketball court, it doesn't mean that if the atmosphere in the team is good, they can win the championship. In the OK era, Kobe and O'Neal have always had conflicts, but winning made them ignore many things.
Johnson controlled the ball at the top of the key and threw it directly to Bryant.There is no suspense in Kobe's singles against Sun Dasheng. This kind of offensive kaleidoscope makes it difficult for Sun Dasheng to defend.
Sun Dasheng is best at defending players who rely on their bodies to play. Kobe is not bad in physical fitness and has many offensive methods, which makes it difficult for Sun Dasheng to defend.
But Kobe did not score by himself. Instead, after leaning against Sun Dasheng and turning into the penalty area, he passed the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored two points with a hook.
The Lakers' scoring looks very simple, without any intricate cooperation at all, relying on the personal strength of the stars.Kobe's passing made Xing Tian feel Alexander.
Like Kobe's back turn just now, Xing Tian couldn't do it so perfectly. After Xing Tianlai finished this move, he could only score a layup, and he couldn't pass the ball like Kobe.Kobe's talent is good, and he is the kind of professional player who trains hard. .
It's not that Kobe can't pass the ball, it's just that he doesn't like passing the ball.The pass just now was also his stroke of genius. Kobe would pass the ball as long as he didn't pass it to O'Neal, and he could get an average of 4 assists per game.
It was Johnson who defended Xing Tian. Although his defense was not well-known, he was a little taller than Xing Tian. It was still very difficult for Xing Tian to shoot in front of him.
Especially for Xing Tian's cold arrow players, as long as they are not careful, they are likely to encounter interference from their opponents.Therefore, it is impossible for Xing Tian to shoot a three-point shot today, and he can only score in other ways.
However, Xing Tian still followed the head coach's tactics and passed the basketball to the inside.The Green Arrows flicked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and when he was about to make a layup, he was disturbed by O'Neal who rushed over, and the basketball went out of the frame.
Before Yao Ming could grab the rebound, Baylor, who was rushed over, grabbed the rebound, and then O'Neal ran away.Lord Baylor actually passed the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal entered the penalty area with Xing Tian alone, and then scored two points with a one-handed dunk.
A big center participates in the fast break. There are not many people with such strength. O'Neal is one of the centers who like fast break the most, and he also has such strength.
In the eyes of many people, the fast break of the big center holding the ball is very exciting, but such an action requires very skilled ball handling ability to make it.Like Yao Ming, he can't dribble and run at high speed, and he will lose control of basketball after running a few steps.
O'Neal's one-man fast break and dunks ignited the entire Staples Arena. There are quite a few fans here who like O'Neal. Fans will naturally like such a funny player.
If Boo had players like Xing Tian and Kobe in Los Angeles, O'Neal would become the darling of the city.But there are so many coincidences in the world.
Zhang Lili did not expect that after this ball, the Chinese disaster would come.In the next 5 minutes, the Lakers played a 12-4 climax, leading by 14 points at once.
During this period of time, it seemed that the Chinese had no defense ability at all, and the only 4-pointers they got all came from serving.He also scored 4 points with three serves, and his free throw percentage was also very bad.
During this period of time, Xing Tian was also responsible. When he passed the ball to the inside, he was discovered by Johnson twice in advance. Under Johnson's command, the Lakers players blocked Xing Tian's pass in advance.
Yao Ming and Green Arrow United did not play the dominance of the inside line in the past. They were interfered by the opponent's inside line three times in a row, and they were even blocked by the opponent when Green Arrow United and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were fighting each other.
"A Lian, come down and take a break!" Zhang Lili also found out that there was a problem with his inside line, so he had to replace the Green Arrow United to see if Wang Dazhi could bring new changes to the team. After a timeout, Zhang Li Reasonably said to the Green Arrow United.
"Coach!" Green Arrow United hesitated to speak, as if they wanted to say something.Green Arrow's character is too reserved. If he is allowed to develop in the United States alone, he will definitely be very restricted.
"A Lian, what's the matter?" Zhang Lili looked at the Green Arrow United strangely. When he usually arranged tactics, the Green Arrow United didn't have any doubts.
"No, nothing!" The Green Arrow Alliance hesitated for a while, but still did not express their thoughts.In the United States, the most important thing is to express your opinion.
Facts have proved that after Wang Dazhi was replaced, the situation of the Chinese team has not improved.Although catching up with a little score, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers still led the Chinese by 10 points. The Lakers beat the Chinese 32 to 22 in the first quarter.
