I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 303

New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Lakers.

The No. [-] team in the East and the No. [-] team in the West face off against each other at the Staples Center in the City of Angels. The outcome of this game will affect the pattern of the entire league.

LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Allen Iverson and many other stars have tweeted, strongly paying attention to this East-West battle.

The fans attracted by this battle are even more global. After all, this is a battle between the two most popular kings Su Ye and Kobe. Most fans around the world are ready to watch this showdown. This match is very likely to happen. It is the highest-rated game in the NBA regular season this year.

As game day approaches, giant posters of Su Ye and Kobe have been hung outside Staples Arena.

Times Square in New York City was completely occupied by mysterious fans. All the billboards played Su Ye's career highlights for an hour, cheering for the Knicks and Su Ye.

This also caused heated discussion on the Internet: "They actually booked the entire Times Square advertisement. New York Knicks fans are so proud."

"Which rich woman is this? In fact, I am also a fan of Su Ye. Rich woman, let's talk about it."

"If someone is willing to book 10 minutes of Times Square in New York for me, I would like to be with him."

"I really envy Su Ye for having such wealthy fans."

"This is the foundation of a wealthy club. Any fan is richer than a place like Kremlin."

After many NBA stars found out about this, they felt even more sad. Why did Su Ye have such fans and they didn't?

Howard tweeted: "Actually, my body is also very strong. Do any rich fans think about it?"

ai tweeted: "I have worked with Su Ye. Is it possible that this mysterious fan is a fan of both of us?"

James also tweeted: "Fellow folks in Kecun, although Su Ye's fans have recently taken over Times Square, I still prefer my hometown and I will win a championship trophy for you."

James, who was in Kecun, was sour at this time. He only regretted that he could not attract these wealthy people in a remote place like Cleveland.

If I were playing in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, would my fans be as domineering?

After James saw the strength of the Knicks and Lakers this year, he no longer wanted to stay in Cleveland.

The ceiling in a small place is limited. No matter how hard he works, it will be difficult for him to win the championship.

James has already played a big game in his mind, but as a businessman, he will definitely not ruin his current personality before actually leaving Cleveland.

What James now shows to fans is still the image of a little emperor who loves his hometown.

Before the Lakers and Knicks even started playing, fans’ money-spending behavior had already caused a sensation on the Internet.

It's different when wealthy teams compete against each other. With money pouring out, the most indispensable thing is wealthy fans.

As the days get closer, race day finally arrives.

The New York Knicks flew to Los Angeles to prepare for their game against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.

The Staples Arena was already packed. Looking around, most of them were Lakers fans, and a small number of New York fans came to the scene.

The front row of the auditorium was filled with stars.

Tiger Woods, the world's number one golfer, Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z, Rihanna, the black queen, and the Kardashian sisters all came to watch the game.

The Staples Arena, which is adjacent to Hollywood, has never been short of celebrities watching games, but it is still rare for stars from all fields to come to the scene.

When the players entered the stadium, both sides felt the enthusiasm of the fans.

Before the fight officially started, the three commentators in the commentary box chatted:

"Today we have invited Lakers legend Magic Earvin Johnson as a special guest to commentate on this battle between the East and the West."

Barkley looked at Magic Johnson sitting in the middle.

The former Lakers legend and all-around point guard has now become a fat man with a big belly.

Kenny Smith asked: "Erwin, what do you think of this game?"

The magician said kindly:

"Both sides in this game are very strong. The Lakers are playing better and better in the second half of the season. As the cooperation between Kobe and Kevin Garnett gets better and better, I believe they have greater potential. chance to win today’s game.”

As a Lakers legend, Magic still sides with the Lakers.

Although the Knicks' performance slightly outperformed the Lakers in the first half of the regular season, the Lakers were the defending champions last season after all. As the entire team got better and better, they gradually began to show strength in the second half. .

This year's Lakers are very hopeful of winning their second championship, and it's normal for Magic to be optimistic about this team.

Feizhu asked: "But in the All-Star Game some time ago, Su Ye seemed to be in better shape than Kobe, and he even won the All-Star MVP. Don't you think Su Ye can lead the team to victory?"

Su Ye's performance this season is not inferior to Kobe's, not to mention that the Knicks have been strong from the beginning until now, firmly ranking first in the league, and the stability is terrible. Barkley is obviously more optimistic about the Knicks.

Magic said with a smile: "Of course Su Ye is a player on the same level as Kobe, but someone like Kobe is suitable for playing in the triangle offense system and temporarily cooperating with other players, but he is not as good as an all-around player like Su Ye."

Magic's implication is that the All-Star Game is detrimental to a player like Kobe whose ability is all about scoring.

Barkley opened his mouth like a pig: "Then let's look forward to who can win at Staples today."

The starting lineup has already started. The Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup is: Derek Fisher + Kobe Bryant + Trevor Ariza + Kevin Garnett + Andrew Bynum.

The New York Knicks' starting lineup is: Deron Williams + Ray Allen + Su Ye + Zach Randolph + Chuck Hayes.

Players from both teams stood on either side of the midline. Kobe was very calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.

He didn't think about the All-Star MVP, nor the memories of losing to Su Ye in the past. Now Kobe's spirit is completely focused on the court, and even the audience on the sidelines is blurred.

Today, Kobe has adjusted himself to the best. Danzi once told him about a zone state, in which players' abilities will be further improved.

Now Kobe has entered the zone state.

The whistle blew and the game officially started.

Bynum easily got the ball and the Lakers attacked.

Kobe ran around the baseline and came to the right wing, and his teammates all pulled away.

Fisher rushed to the basket, but Deron defended well and did not give Fisher any chance.

Fisher could only pass back to Garnett, who was standing at the free throw line.

In Jackson's triangle offensive system, Garnett is obviously a supporting tactical axis.

Originally, this was what Gasol should do, but if it were Garnett, he would do better.

The Huskies' mid-range shooting and overall view are among the best at the power forward position. It is precisely because of their excellent overall view that the Huskies' zone defense capabilities are among the best in the league.

At this time, Garnett did not see the opportunity and finally gave the ball to Kobe at the end point.

With his back to Ray Allen, Kobe moved rhythmically from side to side, then suddenly turned right and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Ray Allen's defense was very good, but he still rushed over and interfered with Kobe.

Kobe only had eyes for the basket. After an elegant fade, he didn't care about Ray Allen and shot directly.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the net.

"Shh!"

2: 0.

When Kobe enters the zone state, he is not affected by the defense at all.

Su Ye tasted it from the side.

It can be seen from the first ball that Kobe Bryant is completely different from the previous All-Star Game, just like a sword unsheathed.

It seems that today will definitely be a fierce battle!

Looking back, Su Ye and Deron started a pick-and-roll, and Deron rushed in and went straight for a layup.

But Garnett's help came too quickly. He suddenly appeared next to Deron and slapped the ball down.

On offense and defense, the Lakers showed the strength of a championship team from the start.

The Staples crowd cheered and their spirits were lifted.

In the commentary box, the magician always spoke with a smile:

"Deron underestimated Kevin's defensive area on this shot. Only Kevin in the league can suddenly help defend to the basket."

Smith nodded. As the MVP in the 03-04 season, Garnett won 6 All-Defensive first team players and his defensive ability was top-notch.

The most powerful thing about Garnett is his terrifying defensive area. He can defend from the basket to the outside, and his awareness of assisting defense is top-notch. Now the core of the Lakers' interior defense is Garnett.

After Garnett blocked the shot, he spat his favorite trash talk at Deron:

"Hey, little fat guy, don't think of this as your living room. I will come out of your mother's room at any time."

Except for Su Ye, Deron has been very cold towards everyone else. He ignored Garnett and turned around and went back to defense, which made Garnett feel like he punched cotton.

"Shet, how dare this little fat guy ignore my trash talk? I'll let you taste your uncle's iron-blooded defense later."

Garnett thought as he ran forward.

The ball dropped by Garnett was caught by Bynum. Bynum had no passing ability, which prevented the Lakers from organizing a counterattack immediately.

The Lakers set up camp in the frontcourt and started a positional battle.

Garnett supported from the high position, deceived Randolph with a fake move, sprinted instantly, then stopped and took off, using his signature move, the iron-blooded jump shot.

Although Garnett is a power forward, he has the same flexibility as a small forward. Once Lanzi is out of position, it is difficult to guard and he can only watch Garnett shoot.

"Shh!"

4: 0.

The Lakers scored another goal.

The atmosphere at Staples became even more enthusiastic. The Lakers showed their kingly style at the beginning and suppressed the momentum of the Knicks.

After scoring the goal, Garnett was also very proud, gesturing like a rap master and saying:

"Your rim is open to me, just like your mother's legs."

Garnett, the master of trash talk, did not forget to carry out mental attacks on the Knicks while scoring.

However, the Knicks have gone through so much this season, and after a wash, they have the composure of a top team, and they have not been affected.

Lanzi and Deron were both half-hearted. Garnett received no feedback and became even more proud, ready to trash talk all the Knicks.

Looking back, the Knicks attacked for the second time.

Deron assisted Ray Allen in the corner, and Kobe immediately ran over. Ray Allen fired directly on the spot, competing with Kobe for speed.

"Dang!"

Although the shooting posture is picturesque, Ray Allen's shot was still affected by Kobe's desperate defense.

The Lakers picked up the rebound and immediately launched a fast break.

Ariza took the lead and rushed inside. Fisher made a long pass and hoisted the ball over Ariza's head.

Ariza jumped up to catch the ball, but failed to catch it well. After falling down, he made a layup and finally scored the ball.

6: 0.

The Lakers scored 6 points in a row in the beginning. After Ariza scored a layup, the entire Staples Lakers fans cheered wildly.

"Starting 6:0, the Lakers are invincible when they get serious!"

"Who says the Knicks are invincible? The Lakers are the king of the league."

"It's back, it's all back, and this is the defending champion."

"The Lakers Championship!!"

Although Staples fans went wild.

But the Knicks players remained calm, and head coach Skip Prosser did not call a timeout, choosing to trust his players.

In the transition between offense and defense, the Knicks patiently passed the ball, but the Lakers showed a Finals-level defense and did not give the Knicks a chance so easily.

Deron played a pick-and-roll with Su Ye again. After the two moved forward, Deron passed the ball to Su Ye.

As soon as Su Ye caught the ball, he felt Garnett's attention on him.

With Garnett's top defensive ability, he can definitely help defend Su Ye when he takes action.

At this time, Su Ye made a fake shot, tricking the Lakers into shrinking their defense, and then passed the ball to assist Randolph behind him.

Lanzi took a two-point shot from an open position and hit the iron with a bang.

Garnett grabbed the rebound and passed it to Fisher.

Fisher, Kobe, and Ariza organized a fast break.

The three Su Ye also quickly returned to defense. Fisher and Kobe passed the ball while running, rushing to the basket like a rugby ball.

However, Su Ye and Deron returned to defense in time and failed to give the Lakers a chance to break fast.

At this time, Fisher suddenly made a pass back to Garnett who was coming over.

Garnett stood inside the three-point line and shot directly.

Only Garnett, a power forward, would choose to shoot long two-pointers because he has such shooting ability.

"Shh!"

Another shot and Garnett scored 4 points.

8: 0.

The Lakers started with an 8-0 spurt.

The Lakers fans at the scene were already excited and reveled like a roaring tsunami.

The DJ at the scene shouted in a long voice:

"Kevin Gane!"

At this moment, the atmosphere at Staples had reached its peak. He beat the Knicks 8-0 at the beginning, which simply made the Lakers fans excited.

The Knicks feel unprecedented pressure.
