against the front

Chapter 250
"Come out, they're out!"

At around 2010:5 pm on May 16, 7, when the visiting Kings players walked out of the player tunnel, the entire Staples Center was booed instantly. Although most of the Lakers fans regarded themselves as nobles, but in In the extremely critical playoffs, these "nobles" will still put down their aristocratic demeanor and turn into crazy Lakers fans.

According to the usual practice, when Yan Hua was the last one to walk out of the player tunnel as the finale, the decibel level of the Staples Center was significantly lower, and the live broadcast footage was also sent to the sidelines at the right time, sitting in the first row to watch Kareem Abdullah-Jabbar's body in this game, and when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's face appeared on the big screen at the Staples Center, the Staples Center immediately erupted into a violent Applause and cheers.

Although the applause was for Kareem-Jabbar, Yan Hua, who was walking out of the player tunnel, raised his right hand reflexively when he heard the sudden applause and cheers from the Staples Center , waving to the surrounding Lakers fans.

"Yan's state looks very good, without any tension or cramps." Seeing Yan Hua "shamelessly" waving to the surrounding Lakers fans, Kenny Smith on the sidelines also showed a relaxed expression , Before the game started, Kenny Smith was a little worried that Yan Hua's state would be affected.

The Skyhook storm set off by Yan Hua has swept the entire American sports world. In the past few days, almost all public opinion in the United States has been discussing the skyhook that suddenly appeared, and the relationship between Yan Hua and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This is Yan Hua's first regional final in his career, and some nervousness is inevitable, but when Yan Hua walked out of the player tunnel waving his arms, Kenny Smith noticed that there was even a trace of nervousness on Yan Hua's face There are no facial expressions.

"Kenny, Yan is a superstar. You will never understand how a superstar feels when facing this kind of stage." After Kenny Smith's voice fell, Charles sitting next to Kenny Smith- Barkley smiled maliciously at Kenny Smith. In the usual programs, Kenny Smith often took the championship ring to disgust Barkley, so as long as Barkley seized the opportunity, This guy will find a way to return it.

After Charles Barkley insinuated that Kenny Smith was just a role player, Kenny Smith pouted with a smile and didn't answer the question, but in Kenny Smith's heart, he was also thinking about how to find opportunities Also came back.

After the appearance ceremony, the starting players of both sides began to warm up. For the Kings, it was still center Yan Hua, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward John Salmons, and shooting guard Kevin - Martin, point guard Tony Allen's main lineup, after he couldn't find a strategy to deal with the Lakers, Reggie Tome chose to stay the same and play according to the routine of the regular season.

On the Lakers side, there is also a regular lineup that cannot be in the regular lineup, center Andrew Bynum, power forward Paul Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, organization Guard Derek Fisher.

"Yan, congratulations on making it to the division finals so early, but this is the end of your life." When the players from both sides warmed up, Kobe Bryant, the boss of the Lakers, walked up to Yan Hua. Hua said a very strong congratulations on the declaration of war.

In the second season of entering the league, he was able to lead the team to the conference finals. Even in the history of the entire NBA, he was able to rank at the top. Therefore, Kobe, who still admired Yan Hua, took advantage During the warm-up interval between the two parties' appearances, they had a few polite words with Yan Hua, but after the polite words were over, Kobe "revealed his true colors", Hong Guoguo declared war on Yan Hua.

"The end? I've just begun." After replying to Kobe with a smile, Yan Hua walked directly to the king's half.

"It's interesting." After Yan Hua left, Kobe smiled and shook his head.

After the short warm-up, Yan Hua and Andrew Bynum, who represented the jump ball of the two teams, walked into the middle circle, but this time, Andrew Bynum rarely taunted Yan Hua, but used enough to kill People's eyes have been staring at Yan Hua intently. Since Yan Hua showed his sky hook stunt in the game against the Mavericks, Andrew Bynum has become the target of public criticism because he was shot by Kareem Jia. Barr taught hand in hand for five years, but he didn't even learn a thing. It is said that the guy on the other side learned the skyhook after watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's video. This made the talented Andrew Bynum still How do you come out to meet people?

With the whistle of the referee, compared to Andrew Bynum, who had gained a lot of weight last season, the basketball thrown by the referee had just left the ground with his feet, and Yan Hua had already moved to the king's half court. .

Regarding the result of Andrew Bynum and Yan Hua's jump ball, the Lakers were clearly prepared. Almost the moment the referee blew the whistle, the Lakers players on the field began to retreat. The first round against the Spurs, the second In the first round against the Suns, the Lakers lost horribly in the jump ball. It’s fine if they can’t beat the jumper Stoudemire. Andrew Bynum can’t even win the old guy Tim Duncan, so facing King, the Lakers are even less hopeful.

Because the Lakers players on the field retreated very promptly and quickly, when Tony Allen dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, the Lakers players on the field basically retreated To their respective areas and positions, Tony Allen, who had no chance, handed the basketball directly to John Salmons and asked him to organize it. Although Tony Allen was the king's genuine point guard, once The game entered a positional battle, and there was no chance to pass the ball directly to Yan Hua. Tony Allen basically gave the ball to John Salmons and let him organize it.

Yan Hua, who had already penetrated deep into the basket, quickly ran to the high position after Tony Allen left the top of the arc, ready to look for opportunities near the free throw line. After arriving near the free throw line, Yan Hua received John S. Ermons' pass.

Ignoring Andrew Bynum who was following him at all, Yan Hua turned around on the spot almost at the moment of catching the basketball, took off with one foot, blocked Andrew Bynum's sight with his left elbow, and then used his right hand to Throw the basketball to the hoop.

"This is the skyhook, the skyhook that no one can defend." Although many Lakers fans have already seen the scene of Yan Hua using the skyhook on TV, but when they arrived at the scene, they saw it with their own eyes. After the skyhook disappeared for more than 20 years, it is inevitable that the heartbeat will speed up, even though the person who uses the skyhook now is the opponent of the Lakers and the enemy of the Lakers.

The sky hook is not just an ordinary shooting skill, nor does it only represent Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it represents the Lakers team back then, a glorious history of the Zijin dynasty, so although the sky hook is used now by the Lakers The enemy, but when Yan Hua made a shot in the opening game, the Lakers fans at the scene still didn't boo Yan Hua.
