The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 90 Fighting with the Champion

The game was about to start, and the live broadcast camera scanned the stars on the scene, which made the fans dazzled. With so many movie stars, in the NBA, I am afraid that only the home court in Los Angeles can see them.

洛杉矶快船客场110-100击败了密尔沃基雄鹿，开赛表现火爆的格里芬砍下22分12个篮板3次助攻，帮助快船取得本赛季的第4场胜利。

"Hey, Blake, today's performance is awesome, another 20+10, this year's best rookie player is none other than you."

Griffin did not respond, and made a booing gesture, "The game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers is about to start."

Jordan looked at the TV screen. This was the first time Griffin had watched a live game from another team this season.

The Washington Wizards did not have a game today. After the team practice, Wall rushed into the locker room first. After a quick rinse in the bathroom, Wall sat in front of the TV where the team usually watches the game video, and tuned to the TNT live channel. At this time, the starting players of the Cavaliers and the Lakers have already stood on the field to prepare for the start of the game.

Players from both sides came on the court. Varejao and Bynum stood on the center line and prepared to jump the ball. When Kobe and Yuan Man came on the court, the two sides met and hugged each other. Yuan Man whispered a few words in Man's ear, and Yuan Man nodded with a smile. After that, the two fist bumped each other and returned to their respective positions.

"Yuan, I won't show mercy in this game, I hope you can also give full play." During the hug, Kobe whispered in Yuan Man's ear.

"Don't worry, Kobe, I will do my best to defeat you." Yuan Man was full of confidence and did not back down.

"waiting for you."

The starting lineups for this game are as follows:

Cavaliers: center Varejao, power forward Jamison, small forward Yuan Man, shooting guard Parker, point guard Williams;
Lakers: Center Bynum, power forward Gasol, small forward Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Fisher.

With the whistle of the referee, Varejao and Bynum jumped almost simultaneously, and they touched the basketball almost simultaneously in the air.

"Drip~~Drip~~" Before the players on both sides could fight for the second spot, the referee's whistle sounded.

The referee signaled that Bynum took off early and violated the rule, and the Cavaliers got the right to attack.

"Yeah!" Varejao deliberately shouted in front of Bynum.

"It seems that in this game, the entire Lakers team is not as relaxed as it seems on the surface." Byron Scott can feel the tense atmosphere of the game.

Mo Williams has recently changed his image of wanting to shoot when he has the ball in the past. He even patiently controlled the ball on the outside at the beginning of the game and looked for opportunities.

Anthony Parker slipped quietly to the bottom corner, Williams didn't look sideways, and sent the ball directly. After receiving the ball, Parker made a three-pointer and made a hit!
This ball was Kobe's miss, and Kobe took the initiative to reach out to indicate that it was his mistake.

"Just now Kobe focused his attention on Yuan Man. As expected of Kobe, he has already noticed the key to the Cavaliers' good results this season." Scott looked stern.

Before the start of the game, Scott’s external speeches have been very low-key, and he praised the Lakers very high. He hoped that the Lakers would be like the Eagles, and they would have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy before the game, but now it seems that Scott knows There is a reason why the Lakers are a very unique championship team in the league.

"Kobe paid close attention to that number 23 from the very beginning." Barkley took a sip of tea, and a small half of the tea leaves remained outside his mouth, and he couldn't wait to speak, "This omission is completely the result of Kobe's distraction, even Kobe also I realized the importance of Yuan Man to the Cavaliers."

As soon as the words fell, Kobe over there had already responded with a jumper.

Facing Parker's defense, Kobe didn't make any fake moves, and directly made an iconic jumper on the spot, and the ball hit the ball steadily!

Although Kobe's jumper and McGrady's jump shot are both jumping in place, their movements are very different. Kobe's jumper, after the jump, leans back slightly unconsciously, and at the same time swings his feet forward, and his body is slightly tilted. On the right side, the right arm protrudes slightly forward. After the shot, the right arm position will remain until the ball touches the basket.

Kobe's jumper was obviously a response to his lack of defense just now, like a silent speech: This is my territory, and I will make up for my mistakes.

Very strong!
Seeing Kobe's goal, Kenny Smith couldn't help but said: "Kobe is a guy with a strong desire to win. His desire for victory is almost paranoid. Playing with him is actually quite stressful."

"It is said that even if his teammates make mistakes in the game, Kobe will unceremoniously send trash talk. But it is also because of this that a villain like Artest is willing to become Kobe's guard with a knife." Regarding Kobe, Barkley's evaluation was positive.

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Artest was facing Yuan Man who was holding the ball.

In an instant, countless cameras focused their lenses on this scene, the No. 23 Chinese rookie who has attracted attention.

Yuan Man's starting speed was very fast, and the first step made Artest very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he often played against Kobe in the usual training, so that Artest would not be passed by Yuan Man in one step.

Yuan Man's breakthrough was a fake move. After taking two steps towards the inside and bringing Artest into the inside, he took a quick step back and took advantage of the trend. He faced the basket near the free throw line and made a jump shot!

5-2
Artest's expression was a little innocent, and his open hands were at a loss.

This is not to blame Artest, Yuan Man's first step was indeed too fast, coupled with the recent learning of ever-changing offensive methods related to pull-up jump shots, it is normal that Artest failed to defend the first ball.

Kobe patted Artest on the back and didn't blame him.

Artest stood outside the three-point line and received the pass from Fisher and shot directly. This position is still one step away from the three-point line. This shot was completely beyond Yuan Man's expectations, but the ball hit the board!
5-5
Artest showed an innocent expression again, as if he didn't know how he got caught.

"Artest's three-pointers are very weird. Sometimes he makes them no matter what he makes, and sometimes he can't make them when he has an open opportunity. When he was still in the Rockets, in the series with the Lakers, Artest's ghost three-pointer The score left a deep impression on me. But no matter how you say it, this goal boosted morale." Barkley explained.

The Cavaliers hit two goals in a row, and the Lakers responded with two answerballs without flinching. After the opening, the two teams entered the firepower confrontation with almost no temptation.

Jamison's long-range attempt missed the basket and the Lakers grabbed their first rebound of the game.

The Lakers, who got a chance to lead, lobbed the ball into the hands of Gasol inside.

"It's started, the Lakers' inside attack." Barkley said with a frown.
