Chapter 196 Coleman Returns

I rushed all the way to Los Angeles without a word. It was already [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Because of the heavy snow, the car drove more and more slowly. After arriving in Los Angeles, the Celtics didn't choose to practice. After a day's bus trip, although he had been resting all the time, he was still very tired, so Jonny went straight back to his room to sleep.

Like the previous away games, Jonny still had a room by himself. This time the Celtics had 13 players, just one extra.However, it was clear that Jonny's trip to Los Angeles was not peaceful. Jonny slept for more than two hours, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, a phone call came in.

"Jonnie?" A sweet voice was heard after answering.

Johnny froze for a moment and replied, "Yes."

"I'm Julia Roberts. I heard that you have a game in Los Angeles tomorrow?" The sweet voice turned out to be the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts.Johnny was a little confused. Could it be that another beautiful woman wants to invite him out to have a room?
"Yeah, we're in Los Angeles." Julia Roberts isn't Angelina Jolie, and Joni isn't as defensive about her.

"Okay, no problem." With a snap, the phone was hung up, and Johnny suddenly felt a little puzzled. What's going on?After making a phone call, he asked if there was a game tomorrow, and Jonny was a little confused about the situation.

But if Johnny knew what was going on in Julia Roberts' mansion in Los Angeles at this time, he would understand.

In the mansion of Julia Roberts, holding her little niece Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts who just hung up the phone first kissed her little niece, and then continued to speak to her little niece in that sweet voice Said: "Okay, let's go to watch Johnny's brother's game tomorrow!"

Turns out, it wasn't Julia Roberts who wanted to call Jonny, it was Emma Roberts who wanted to see Jonny play
Jonny didn't know what was going on with Julia Roberts, but he didn't think about it, and went back to sleep.

The game on the second day came very quickly. The Celtics played against the Lakers at the Great Western Forum. The Greens played against the Purple and Gold. This is the main theme of the last era in the NBA. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird The confrontation between Bird is still vivid in my mind, and there are also confrontations between the two sides in the 50s and 60s. It can be said that the Lakers and Celtics are the real rivals in the league!
And counting to 1997, the Lakers and Celtics met 10 times in the Finals!However, in these ten encounters in the finals, the Celtics won 8 of them!Facing their old rivals, the Lakers and Celtics became nervous. At least the fans on both sides are determined to win this game.As for the players on both sides, it doesn't matter.

The core players of the two teams, Jonny Lee has just joined the Celtics for one year; while Shaquille O'Neal has only joined the Lakers for two years. Of course, they are very clear about the grievances between the two teams. But that kind of heart-wrenching kindness and resentment is still absent, so before the game, at the Great Western Forum Arena, only the Los Angeles fans booed the Celtics.

The players on both sides of Hukai were warming up talking and laughing.And Jonny didn't care about the constant boos from the sidelines, but paid special attention to Derek Coleman. Today's Derek Coleman is obviously different from before, and he warmed up a lot more seriously. Joe Ni thinks there is hope for this game.Looking at Shaq who was laughing and playing, Jonny felt that today's Derek Coleman has improved a lot compared to before.

Soon, the warm-up ended, Rick Pitino announced the starting lineup for this game, Derek Coleman re-entered the starting lineup, and the all-main Celtics faced the Lakers who also played all-main.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is: point guard Van Crazy Van Exel, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward former Celtics player Rick Fox, power forward Elden Campbell and center Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, two rookies in 96 who played well this year, sit on the bench, as well as Robert Horry and Joan Barry.

And after having this seemingly heaven-defying lineup, the goal of the Lakers this season is naturally the championship. Silver Fox Del Harris is under a lot of pressure, but for the current Celtics, Del Harris is still not satisfied. Too much attention, after all, only looking at the lineup, the gap between the two teams is really too big.

Jonny's opponent in this game is Eddie Jones. Last season, Jonny scored a record 68 points under the defense of Eddie Jones!Therefore, facing Eddie Jones again, Jonny still has a certain psychological advantage.On the Lakers side, there is also a person who is eager to try. Eldon Campbell is a blue-collar insider. Like most players, he has the dream of a star.

This time against Derek Coleman, a well-known colander in the league, Eldon Campbell also wanted to come up with a super stat, scoring a double-twenty large double-double.In particular, before this game, Shaq said he wanted to rest. Eldon Campbell is already very familiar with this situation. Every few games Shaq played, he wanted to take a rest, and this game obviously That's the game Shaq wanted to rest.

And when this kind of game comes, it's time for other Lakers players to play. In the November game of this season, Eddie Jones had the opportunity to compete for the honor of the best player of the month because Shaquille O'Neal took a lot of rest games.The Sharks used the start of the game as an excuse to rest a lot of games.

Both sides were ready, standing in the middle circle, looking at the lazy big shark, and then at the old rival Kobe sitting on the bench, Jonny felt full of strength in his body, especially when he thought of this game. Johnny was even more excited to get a real helper!Playing in the Celtics for almost 2 months, Jonny has not played an easy game.

And in this game, Jonny felt that he could finally relax, and he could finally play a hearty game.

jump ball!Although the lazy Sharks were lazy, they still won Big Ben with the jump ball, and the Lakers are currently attacking.As soon as the ball came to the frontcourt of the Lakers, O'Neal stood still at a high position. Del Harris knew what the big shark was thinking when he saw it, but Silver Fox Harris was also very helpless, and he couldn't control the big man. Sharks can only be left to him.

O'Neal stood in a high position and was lazy, and the Lakers' first goal was finally scored by Fan Crazy with a three-pointer, but he missed and the rebound was taken by Daben.

As soon as they got the rebound, the Celtics started a fast break. According to Rick Pitino's arrangement before the game, the Celtics just wanted to open up the rhythm of the fast break and use the fast break to drag O'Neal, a fat man, to death.

However, since O'Neal wanted to be lazy, he naturally didn't think about rushing to defend, so the Celtics' first goal, without O'Neal's defense, played a wave of fast breaks, which was scored by Chauncey Billups A close layup.

The Celtics saw the dawn of victory, and O'Neal was really lazy in this game.
