I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 155 Challenge the Lakers
The Rockets, who were exhausted, finally met the Lakers who were in full swing.

The previous record of the Lakers was to win all five games and remain undefeated.

What should the Rockets do?
Adelman's response is to remain unchanged.

It is still the familiar starting five tigers, it is still the familiar tactical arrangement, and even in the last practice before the game, there is no special order.

As if the opponent is not the strongest king in the league, but just an ordinary team.

In an interview with the media before the game, Adelman also stated this: "For us, this is an ordinary regular season. Even if we beat the Lakers, it does not mean that we have the strength to win the championship; if we lose Also, it doesn't mean anything."

These words sound somewhat discouraged.

May the underdogs win!

Oct. 11, Staples Center.

This is the most famous basketball arena in the world.The construction cost is 3.8 million US dollars. It has 12 exits, is divided into more than 400 areas, and can accommodate 2 spectators. The three-story stands can clearly see everything about the stadium from any angle.

Located in the Staples Center in the City of Angels, it is deeply influenced by Hollywood and full of audio-visual effects.There are 6 super-large screens hanging on the top of the court, a total of 1200 TV monitors, a sound system worth 150 million US dollars, 675 microphones and a 200 million US dollar lighting system.

This arena not only has modern technology, but also has a strong historical atmosphere.

On the three buildings outside the arena, there are huge portraits of the three major centers in the history of the Lakers: Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and O'Neal.Visually demonstrates the Lakers' center heritage.

The 12 entrances of the arena are hung with banners of "Advance Lakers", and the electronic display boards are constantly flipping the honors of the Lakers: the year they won the championship, the names of coaches and players, and various honors they have achieved.

Outside the arena stand two bronze statues of Magic Johnson and Jerry West (Zick Hearn and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were added after 2010)
The corridor of the locker room on the basement floor is also an exhibition hall showing the history of the Lakers. There are pictures hanging there, some in black and white and some in color, recording unforgettable historical moments.

Strolling in Staples, Dorsey was excited because he was about to compete with a generation of legends!

"Tasks for this game: 1. Win the game reward 3000sp
2. 10sp will be rewarded for scoring more than 1500 points in sports battles”

From the system's point of view, the game is more difficult to win than the Celtics!

For the second task, Dorsey didn't care too much. Although his playing time is unstable now, his scoring is still guaranteed.

Just 10 points, it shouldn't be a big deal!

As for the word "mobile warfare", he automatically ignored it.

The game will be broadcast live across the United States by ESPN.

ESPN is responsible for the commentary of the game is two famous mouth.

One is the famous star, "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley, and the other is the former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.

Speaking of which, both of them have an indissoluble bond with the Rockets.

Needless to say, Van Gundy is a coach with mixed reputations in the history of the Rockets.Although everyone is scolding him for being stubborn, rigid, and unreasonable, the team is still suffering from the defensive foundation he laid down back then.

Charles Barkley played for the Rockets for four seasons in the twilight of his career, and he can be regarded as a hero of the team.Later, because of Yao Ming, the famous pro-donkey butt incident broke out, which can be regarded as having a deep relationship.

The Rockets are not doing well recently, but ESPN brought these two together as a partner to explain, and their intentions are not "good and hard".

However, one of these two is rigorous and steady, the other is outspoken, and they complement each other very well together.

No, just before the game, Van Gundy was facing his notebook, and balabalabala said N big points and M aspects.

There are data, comparisons, backgrounds, analysis, predictions, and suggestions. It is as rigorous as a paper.

Barkley said: "I think there are three things to watch in this game. One is whether the Lakers will lose? The second is whether the Rockets can win? The third is who can win between Kobe and Tracy McGrady. ?
Haha, Jeff, don't look at me so strangely!I'm not talking nonsense, listen to me analyze and analyze for you.

First, will the Lakers lose? It is about the fact that the Lakers have won 5 consecutive victories since the start of the game. Who can end their winning streak!

Second, whether the Rockets can win or not means that the Rockets have been in a bad state recently. From being the favorite to win the championship last week, to last week's successive losses and constant troubles.Now their situation is going down. If they win this game, they can stop the downward trend in time; if they lose, hehe, it will be very difficult to handle!

Third, Kobe and McGrady belong to the four major shooting guards. The two were friends before entering the league, and both have top talents and strengths.Although Kobe is far superior to McGrady in terms of team honor, Tracy will not convince anyone in terms of personal performance!

Another point is that Iverson's recent trade has re-ignited people's attention to the four major shooting guards. I believe these two guys who refuse to admit defeat will prove that veterans will never die! "

Van Gundy was speechless for a long time, and he summed up for a long time, his mouth was dry, and he explained the matter clearly in a few words, and he said it very well.

"Well...Charles, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Barkley bared his teeth. As a well-known troll, talking is his strong point.

Sure enough, as Barkley said, at the beginning of the game, Kobe and McGrady were on the bar.

This jump ball, the tired Yao Ming didn't jump over the young Bynum, and the Lakers got the ball.

"Old Fish" Fisher passed the ball to Kobe very sensible, and the boss consecrated the first ball.

Facing old friends and rivals, McGrady stands ready.

Kobe suddenly started, and heard thunder in a silent place, as fast as a bolt of lightning.

But McGrady was not slow either. He broke out with a speed rarely seen in recent years, and followed Kobe with a sliding step.

McGrady's height and long arms covered Kobe, but Kobe couldn't get rid of it.

But Kobe's offensive methods are very rich, suddenly turned around, bypassed McGrady, followed by a signature fadeaway jumper.

McGrady is not a vegetarian either. Although Kobe gave him a break, he jumped extremely high, leaned forward, stretched his arms lightly, and covered a huge area.

Kobe shot the ball, although McGrady failed to form a block, but his fingertips also touched the ball, slightly changing the ball's landing point.

The ball hits the iron!
Yao Ming got stuck and overwhelmed Bynum to grab the rebound!

Barkley shouted excitedly in the studio: "Great shot! One attack is wonderful, and the other defends beautifully! In this attack, two superstars have shown their amazing talents! Sure enough, this ball is two. A battle of dragons and tigers among superstars!"

Turn around, the rocket is attacking.

Alston is also an old man, and he is very good at playing his role. He honestly gave the ball to McGrady.

The entire Staples stands held their breath, and even the "defend" that they usually yell vigorously during defense was exhausted. Everyone's eyes widened to see how McGrady would attack.

I saw that McGrady's waist was extremely low, and he dribbled the ball slowly with his hands alternately, but a pair of sleepy eyes were observing Kobe in front of him.

His center of gravity shifted slightly to the right, but suddenly a crossover jumped out from the left.

His stride is huge. Although Kobe quickly slid and moved laterally, he was still a little slower. McGrady has already made a signature pull.

The line of the ball was extremely straight, and it hit the center of the basket precisely with a "swish".

With a score of 2:0, the Rockets took the lead.

In this round, McGrady won Kobe in singles with the ball!
In the studio, Barkley yelled happily: "Look, I'm not wrong! In terms of talent, Tracy is as good as Kobe! Although Tracy is not in a good state recently, a genius is a genius! It is their nature to be strong!"

Van Gundy said lightly: "Kobe will not admit defeat."

Barkley: "Of course, this is a black mamba! This ball just shows that Tracy's height and arm length are more advantageous in attacking with the ball, but Kobe's arsenal is far more than this one Weapon! He has a more efficient way to kill the game!"
