Chapter 185 184. Meeting the Heat Again
On the night of January 1, after a four-day break, the Lakers played at home against the defending champion Miami Heat.

This is the second time the Lakers have faced the Heat this season. In the previous encounter, the Lakers narrowly lost to the Heat in the Christmas game.

In that game, Tang De scored 36+33+5 in the whole game out of 5 points. However, Tang De was really unable to resist the fact that the Heat's Big Three scored 77 points together.

For tonight's game, Zhou Ling'an came to the Staples Center. She basically settled in Los Angeles now, so for the Lakers' home games, she almost came to the scene in person.

Of course, besides watching the game, she still has to do some interview work. For example, today, she came early in the morning to interview... Tang De.

Although she could interview Tang De anytime she wanted, wouldn't the pre-match interview at the Staples Center be more formal.

Tang De had noticed this girl a long time ago, but he really pretended not to see it on purpose. At this time, he was exchanging today's tactics with Kobe and other teammates.

After all, for tonight's game, the Lakers really want to win, they don't want to lose to the Heat twice in a row.

Nick Yang: "Tang, your little girlfriend seems to be over there. Look, she is still holding a microphone in her hand. Aren't you going to accept an interview with her, hehe..."

After Nick Yang finished speaking, Tang De gave Nick Yang a blank look, and then went to Zhou Ling'an.

Seeing Zhou Ling'an's innocent little eyes, Tang De felt that it was better not to be too "scumbag". After all, Tang De knew what Zhou Ling'an meant.

However, due to Zhou Ling'an's work, it was inevitable that Tang De would have frequent contact with her.

Tang De is also very distressed about this.

After walking over to say hello to Zhou Ling'an, and briefly accepting a few interviews with her, Tang De returned to his teammates.

Apart from the interview, Tang De didn't whisper anything to Zhou Ling'an.

After interviewing Tang De, Zhou Ling'an also went to interview James during the warm-up interval before the game.

Zhou Ling'an: "Hey, LeBron, you know that the Lakers have won 7 of the past 6 games. Do you have anything to say about this?"

James: "In the past period of time, they played really well. You know that playing away games is actually a very hard job, not to mention they played 7 consecutive away games, so apart from saying that they played well Besides, I can only congratulate them."

Zhou Ling'an: "OK, let's talk about you again, are you ready to take them down tonight?"

James: "Of course, we are here to win. Although their recent performance is great, don't forget, we have won them once before, so I think we will still win them tonight!"

Zhou Ling'an: "Let's talk about your views on Tang De."

James: "He's great, he's really great, I remember very clearly the last time he played against us, that guy scored more than 30 points, I even studied his game video when I went back!"

"He is the last player we can't ignore, and he is now the All-Star vote king. I didn't expect him to get more votes than me. Haha~ I am very dissatisfied, so I will be tough tonight. Teach that kid a lesson, haha~" James continued with a haha.

Zhou Ling'an: "Good luck LeBron!"

James: "Thank you."

……

Before the game, in addition to interviews with major reporters, TNT also did a detailed pre-match analysis, including Penguin Sports.

This is an absolute focus match, and this encounter between the two teams is even more popular than the previous Christmas match.

Since all the votes for the All-Stars have been announced, and Tang De beat James, Kobe and others to win the votes, so the topic of this game has become more topical.

Before the game, ESPN even launched several topic discussions for this game at the same time, and fans are very enthusiastic about these topics.

Most of these topics revolve around James and Tang De. Fans are very concerned about how Tang De, the newly promoted All-Star voter, will perform against James again.

Penguin Sports Live.

Wang Meng: "Hello, fans and friends in front of the TV. Welcome to the game between the Lakers and the Heat broadcast by Penguin Sports. The two sides have finished warming up and the game will start soon. It is still Yang Yihe who will accompany us to watch the game today. Two teachers, Su Junyang!"

After an official opening speech, Wang Meng continued to ask: "Mr. Su, the recent performance of the Lakers is obvious to all. Tonight they will face the Heat at home again. They lost to the Heat in the Christmas game before, so do you think the Lakers want to play tonight?" If they win, what will they do well?"

Su Junyang: "I think it's just one thing. If you do this well, the Lakers will be able to wrestle with the Heat!"

Wang Meng: "You mean insider?"

Su Junyang: "That's right, everyone knows that among all the positions of the Heat, the inside is the weakest. Facts have proved that Bosh is not very competent at the fifth position. His favorite position is the fourth position! "

Yang Yi: "So as long as the Lakers' Baibian can control the rebounds, the Lakers will control half of the game!"

Su Junyang: "That's the reason. The reason why the Lakers were able to fight the Heat to the last moment in the last game was not only because of Tang De's outstanding performance, but also because of the Lakers' rebounding."

Wang Meng: "As the two teachers said, rebounding is very important to the Lakers. This may be their only advantage. After all, the Heat's Big Three offensive talents are too strong."

On the field, Baibian and James walked to the center circle, ready to jump the ball.

That's right, the person who made the jump ball with Baibian this time is LeBron James. In fact, James has appeared in the fourth position for most of the time this season with the Heat, so it is not impossible for him to jump the ball.

Both starting lineups.

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

Heat: point guard Chalmers, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward Shane Battier, power forward James, center Bosh.

Although James is strong, he has a specialization in technique, and he has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to jumping the ball!
There was still no suspense, Bai Bian jumped high and used his fingertips in the air to pass the ball to Kobe in the backcourt.

Bryant didn't seem surprised that the ball was in his hands.

It is a recognized fact that Baibian is invincible when jumping the ball. If Kobe didn't catch the ball, he would be surprised.

The Lakers started the first offense of the two sides tonight, and Kobe held the ball and slowly advanced amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene.

It’s better to be at home. It’s so happy to hear the cheers of the fans. Unlike playing away games, all you get are crazy interference from the opponent’s fans!
"There is still no suspense. It is useless for James to jump the ball. I have to say that Baibian's jump ball is really unmatched!" Wang Meng sighed in the Penguin Sports live broadcast room.

Kobe held the ball for halftime, and as in previous games, Chalmers came up to mark.

Bryant's recent state, but exceptionally good, the Lakers opened the first attack, Bryant directly singles Chalmers.

Preemptive strike.

Kobe made a mid-range hit on the right side of the free throw line!

2: 0.
