Chapter 121 120. Meeting the Warriors Again (Second Update, Continue to Subscribe)

On the second day after the small gathering at Tang De's house, the entire Lakers team once again devoted themselves to intense training.

And the main item of this training is to practice shooting like crazy for the whole team, and even Baibian is practicing three-pointers with the team.

This is simply insane!
But it's not a big problem. In the future, Baibian is also capable of three-pointers, but in the Heat, the coach doesn't give him a chance to shoot.

The Heat's use of the white border is actually incomplete. They only developed the ability of the white border to protect the frame.

Whiteside spends most of his time at the basket, and the Heat hardly give him a chance to leave the basket.

But it's different now. Under the "crazy" D'Antoni, it's hard not to think of a shot.

In terms of the degree of madness, D'Antoni will definitely do his part. In the future in the Rockets, he would like to let Capela also come out and throw three-pointers.

It's just that there is no way, Capela really doesn't have this ability, no matter how hard he practices, it's useless.

The only thing he is good at is "eating cakes".

At the moment in the Lakers training facility.

Everyone is practicing shooting with great enjoyment.

D'Antoni: "Everyone use snacks, today's shooting task must be completed today, otherwise you are going to work overtime, Meeks, you have to be more serious, or hurry up and run laps, run [-] laps around the training hall!"

"Big men, for your shooting training, you can go slower than them, but the number can't be worse than any one, everyone's standards are the same!"

Nick Yang: "Don, do you think this old man is crazy? Is menopause coming?"

Tang De: "Don't talk about it buddy, Lao De's menopause has passed long ago, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and practice!"

Nick Young: "No, I think this kind of practice will be useless sooner or later, I can't even lift my arm!"

Tang De: "Pull it down, this practice will do us no harm, come on, let's come together!"

In a day, except for eating and sleeping, the entire Lakers team spent almost all their time on this shooting practice.

……

Until December 12th, the Lakers ushered in a powerful enemy, the Golden State Warriors, at home!

This is already the third time the two sides have met in the regular season this season. In the previous two games, both sides won one game each.

Now the Warriors have only won two more games than the Lakers, so tonight's game is destined to be another close contest.

This season, the Lakers fought for the first time. The Warriors lost to the Lakers at home. In that game, Tang De killed the Warriors at the last moment of the game. Curry has always been worried about this.

Anyway, now Curry is excited as long as he beats the Lakers, all because of Tang De, because of Tang De's lore.

It is worth mentioning that David Stern came to the Staples Center in person for this game.

The reason why he came to the scene tonight is because the two teams that will be playing tonight are extremely popular. To put it bluntly, both of them can make money for the NBA.

The first round of voting for the All-Stars is still in full swing. For the Lakers, Tang De is the player with the highest number of votes in the Western Conference frontcourt, still ahead of Durant.

The same is true for the Warriors. Curry occupies the No. 1 position in the backcourt of the West.

The current number of votes for these two people is the first in their respective positions, which is enough to show how popular the two are now.

And Stern has always liked to praise the most popular players!
So when these two teams meet, he has to be there no matter what.

It's all money.

Driven by the atmosphere of the DJ at the scene, the appearance ceremony ended quickly. Regarding the appearance ceremony, Tang De was a little fresh at the beginning, but now he is numb, because every time he is the last one to appear!
Unless Kobe comes back, Tang De will always be the one to play in the finale.

The presidents are all present, and of course TNT will broadcast the game live across the United States.

The starting lineups of both sides tonight were quickly shown on the big screen.

Warriors: Point guard Curry, shooting guard Thompson, small forward Iguodala, power forward David Lee, center Bogut.

Lakers: point guard Blake, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Don De, power forward Gasol, center Whiteside.

During the warm-up period before the game, Curry took the initiative to come over and exchange a few words with Tang De. Maybe this is called love and hate.

On the court, Curry hated Tang De to the bone, but every time he played against the Lakers, Curry couldn't help coming up to greet Tang De. If he didn't say a few words to Tang De before the game, it seemed that he would not It's like playing ball.

Curry: "Don, in the previous two games, we were tied. You beat us in the first game, and we beat you hard in the second game. Tonight's game is a decisive battle between you and me. Let's do our best to play a game!"

After speaking, Curry extended his right hand.

"I will do my best, and I hope you will too! And tonight we will definitely defeat you!"

After speaking, Tang De also stretched out his right hand.

The two clapped their hands, bumped their fists, and then walked away in opposite directions.

Everything is so ritualistic.

It's like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years are telling each other how much they miss each other.

On the sidelines, David Stern and Adam Silver sat side by side in the front row.

David Stern: "Adam, who do you prefer between these two?"

Adam Silver: "Mr. President, which aspect are you referring to?"

David Stern: "Let's put it this way, which of these two do you think can become the face of the NBA in the future?"

Adam Silver: "From the point of view of personal performance, both of them are good and have the possibility of becoming superstars, but there is a big difference in their style of play. Tang's style of play is obviously more comprehensive. In his I saw the shadow of LeBron James, and Stephen Curry, his three-pointers are becoming the object of imitation by basketball fans all over the world! They each have their own strengths. As for who can become the face of the future league, now we I can't tell!"

David Stern: "You're right, these two little guys are very good. My idea is that if we have the opportunity, we should promote both of them at the same time. Of course, it depends on their specific performance."

……

After everything is ready.

Baibian and Bogut walked slowly towards the center circle, waiting for the referee to throw the ball.

Soon the game officially started, and there was no suspense. Baibian once again jumped to the first wave of offensive possession for the Lakers.

"Who else in this league can beat Hassan in a jump ball?"

Throwing the ball to Blake in the backcourt casually, Baibian quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

Before Blake could pass the ball, Tang De came up to help him pick and roll.

Since Tang De was kind, Blake was too embarrassed to refuse, not to mention that he was facing Curry's defense.

So in the surprise of all the fans, Blake broke through with the ball!

Blake's breakthrough shocked the fans as much as O'Neal made two free throws in a row.

Because Blake really rarely breaks through!

Even more surprising is yet to come.

"Horseback archery", Blake's first breakthrough even scored smoothly!
