The world's best combo guard

Chapter 76 73 [This Chinese boy looks pretty good]

When Jessica Alba and her assistant Jane showed up at Staples Center in a nanny van, the arena was already crowded and noisy.

Jessica is a Lakers fan. In the past two seasons, she has been fascinated by Kobe Bryant. She thinks Kobe is the most perfect basketball player on the planet.

For Jessica, this year has been a busy one. Just a week ago, her new work "Dictionary Lover" just wrapped up. For her, perhaps the best way to relax is to enjoy an NBA game. I heard that the Lakers Jessica has been in a downturn recently, and Jessica is a little uncomfortable. She is hoping that the once rebellious young Kobe can lead the team to victory.

"Kobe, come on"

When Jessica saw Kobe stretching on the court, she shouted at Kobe.

She and Kobe knew each other in private and had a good relationship. Last summer, Kobe also collaborated with her in a movie.

"Jesse, you're here too"

Kobe gave Jessica his trademark smile.

Jessica was sure that what she loved most was Kobe's charming smile.

Growing up in a family with strict tutoring made Jessica Alba belong to the kind of good girl in terms of private life and emotions, otherwise she might take the initiative to throw herself into Kobe's arms.

.........

With 20 minutes before the start of the game, Li Hao and the others finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations before the start of the game.

"Okay, guys, I'm a sensitive person. In the past two days, I have paid attention to a lot of media opinions on this game. Obviously, people think that San Antonio will be the final winner, which makes me very upset. When did the L.A. Lakers become so vulnerable in the eyes of others, so go fuck those bastards in San Antonio and shut up those who doubt us"

"Now I announce that the starting lineup for this game is Kobe, Derek, Devin, Karl, Dmitry"

Li Hao could see that Phil Jackson was trying his best to increase the players' desire to fight, but to be honest, Li Hao felt that this kind of slogan-style incitement was not as effective as the hooligan whistle this guy often blows during games.

"Lee, sit on the bench and observe carefully. Whether it's Tony Parker or Ginobili, this game may be the Spurs players you have to face head-on. You need to give them enough pressure on the defensive end."

When the players came out, Phil Jackson put his arms around Li Hao's neck and said for the first time.

Li Hao was a little nervous and excited. He could tell that Phil Jackson might give him a lot of opportunities tonight, and his task was mainly on the defensive end. To a certain extent, this was a difficult task.

Because neither Tony Parker nor Manu Ginobili is a fuel-efficient lamp.

After the start of the game, Spurs star Tim Duncan scored four points in a row in the paint. Neither Karl Malone nor Dmitry had a hard time parrying against the double mvp of last season's regular season and finals.

Phil Jackson couldn't sit still anymore. He glanced at the bench. Maybe Brian Cook should start today to replace Dmitry.

"brush"

Kobe hit his first shot of the game. Facing the defensive giant Bowen, Kobe played very tough and forced a fadeaway jumper.

Phil glanced at Kobe and felt a little relieved. For some reason, as long as he saw Kobe hit the first goal, he felt that the game was really [-]-[-]. When facing the Spurs, he can always play a good performance.

Devin George felt good tonight and made two consecutive shots, which also allowed the Lakers to bite the Spurs tightly and not be pulled away. Even during the official timeout, at 19:18, the Lakers still led by 1 point.

"Greg, we saw that almost halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers player Kobe has scored 8 points. It seems that he is unstoppable. How will you defend him?"

For such a strong dialogue with the Lakers, the famous sideline reporter Craig Sager will definitely not be absent. He interviewed Spurs coach Popovich during the official timeout of the first quarter.

Sager asked directly, because he knew that interviewing Popovich would not be helpful.

"Yeah, Craig, your suit still looks fancy tonight, I guess you were at some draft show an hour ago"

As Sager expected, Popovich didn't answer his question at all when he came up, but touched his tie and started teasing.

"Come on, old man, your beard needs to be fixed"

The two laughed.

"Kobe, well, to deal with him, we can only send more defensive forces, because he is the kind of guy who is very capable in isolation and sometimes unreasonable..."

Popovich finally answered Sager's question.

After the timeout, Popovich took the lead in making personnel adjustments, Tony Parker was replaced, and Ginobili played.

The Argentine has long flowing hair and looks slim, but in fact, this guy has a ghostly imagination on the offensive end.

Right now, for example, he's playing the Lakers inside with his elusive Eurostep on two consecutive possessions.

Phil Jackson's face darkened. He felt that Karl Malone's comeback was obviously out of shape today, which would affect the team's overall rhythm.

"Rick, Lee, get ready to go"

Phil Jackson glanced at the bench, waved his hand and shouted at Li Hao and Rick Fox.

Thirty seconds later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Li Hao replaced Derek Fisher and Fox replaced Karl Malone.

"Really him?"

When the big screen above the arena showed the picture of the Lakers making substitutions, Ling Sixue, who was sitting very far back in the stands, covered her mouth, looking at the familiar figure in the picture excitedly and unbelievably.

"Xue'er, look quickly, Li Hao has appeared." Jin Wan'er beside her said, shaking Ling Sixue's arm vigorously.

"Damn girl, be gentle, I saw it." Ling Sixue gave Jin Wan'er a helpless look.

"Li, you must be careful when defending that Argentin, that guy is very cunning"

Kobe patted Li Hao on the shoulder to remind him.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers attacked. After Kobe pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he tried to play Bowen with a post-up single, but it was unsuccessful. He was almost intercepted by Bowen. In desperation, Kobe handed the ball to Li Hao.

Kobe knew that although Li Hao focused on defense at the moment, he also had the ability to attack.

Outside the three-point line on the left side of the top of the arc, facing Ginobili, Li Hao bent his body slightly, dribbled the ball a few times quickly, and then opened his hands on the spot to shoot the moment Ginobili's body moved back.

"brush"

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and got into the basket steadily.

"Yes, Lee hit the Lakers' first three-pointer tonight"

In the VIP seat, Jessica Alba had Li Hao, who was retreating on the basketball court unexpectedly.

"Jane, this Chinese boy looks fine"
