NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

The three commentators faced the camera and introduced various news before the game while chatting in a cheerful tone.

After the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen, the three of them calmed down a little, and Stulantz began to introduce tonight's starting lineup.

Los Angeles Lakers: Point guard Derek Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Metavoled Pease, power forward Lamar Odom, center Pau Gasol.

Washington Wizards: Point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Sun Yue, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blache.

Such a crucial game naturally became the one that Chinese fans were most concerned about that day.

Since tonight's game started relatively late, it was already close to noon in China, so whether it was China's official sports channel or another online live broadcast room, Sohu Sports, the ratings increased to a new high since the beginning of the season. !

In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Director Zhang Weiping, Su Qun, and Yang Yi were sitting in the middle.

The three people discussed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and waited for the game to begin.

At this moment, a whistle was heard from the screen broadcasting the signal!

Zhang Weiping was the first to come to his senses and immediately said, "The game begins! Audience friends, what you are watching now is the live broadcast of the American men's professional basketball regular season on December 12th. The two sides are the Washington Wizards led by Chinese player Li Kaiming. team and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant. Both sides jumped the ball, Pau Gasol won, and the Lakers attacked first!"

Ci Shiping grabbed the basketball passed by Gasol, and then handed it to Fisher to dribble to the frontcourt.

The Lakers started to play the triangle offense from the beginning. This is also the famous tactic of Phil Jackson.

Gasol mentioned the position of the free throw line. After receiving the pass from Fisher, he looked at the frame and saw two players at a 45-degree angle on the outside and two cross-running moves in the bottom corner.

The Wizards' defense is still mainly based on the inside, because the Lakers' three-pointers are also average.

But sometimes you can't stop it if you think about it on the defensive end. After Gasol found that his teammates' movement did not create an opportunity, he started to get the ball directly, broke through one step into the penalty area, turned his back, and took two steps in. Then he turned sideways and hit with a hook!

2 to 0!The Lakers scored the first point of the game!

Although Gasol is a big man from Europe, you must not compare him with those traditional white bears.

As the third overall pick in 2001, Gasol has a pair of long arms that ordinary white centers do not have, and his athletic ability is also very good in the interior.

Although his whole body looks slender, he is very tough in confrontation!

At the 2008 Huadu Olympics, Gasol was not inferior to Yao Ming at his peak, which shows that he is not weak at all in the confrontation.

Blatche was almost helpless against Gasol's singles, and he couldn't even stop the latter's inside attack!

The Wizards served to Hinrich, who dribbled to the frontcourt, faced Fisher's defensive choice and Blatche's pick-and-roll, and then broke through halfway and hit the ball to Blatche who was following the pass.

This ball opportunity is very good, but Gasol showed his good strength on the defensive end.

Although Gasol was one position ahead of Brac without the ball in this defense, Gasol still successfully interfered with Brac with his terrifying long arms, excellent positioning awareness and defensive skills. Qi took a shot and then picked off the rebound.

After Fisher got the ball, he passed it to Kobe who was in front of him. The latter took the ball and broke through Nick Young's defense. Then he stopped in the mid-range and made a jumper, making a smart hit!

4 is better than 0!

Blatche was almost frustrated when he was beaten by Gasol alone. He was beaten by Gasol on both offense and defense.

After the Wizards sent a baseline kick, Hinrich handed the ball to Li Kaiming at halftime. At this time, the Wizards players were used to handing the ball to this young man, because in their eyes, this guy is omnipotent. of!

As soon as Li Kaiming got the ball from outside the three-point line, Odom immediately followed him. Whether it was the observation on the training field before the game or the game video, he told Odom that the guy in front of him must not give up the ball outside the three-point line. Any space!

Li Kaiming held the ball and observed the situation and found that no one else from the Lakers came to double-team. It seemed that he believed in Odom's single defense ability.

It’s just right if you don’t double-team!

Li Kaiming took a big step back, dropped the ball, and then made a smooth breakthrough. Taking advantage of his long legs, he stepped directly to Odom's side in one step!

This scared Odom so much!

He just heard that Li Kaiming was very fast, so he was mentally prepared, thinking that Li Kaiming was very fast inside.

But this first matchup let him know that the speed of the guy in front of him was basically at the perimeter level, and even the outsiders were among the top!

This time it hit Odom's weakness.

What he fears most on the defensive end are two types of No. 4 players, one is a Randolph-type strongman, and the other is a fast breakthrough player.

Odom's movement speed in the 4th position is very good, but compared with the speed of an elite outside line like Li Kaiming, it's like heaven and earth!

Li Kaiming almost passed Odom in one step. The latter reacted and reluctantly followed Li Kaiming with a surprised expression on his face.

Gasol could see it clearly, so when Li Kaiming passed Odom, he was already ready to help defend.

But Li Kaiming will not force a breakthrough to the basket to challenge Gasol. The latter's wingspan is really scary, and his hitting rate is not high, and it consumes a lot of physical energy.

So he broke through to the three-point line and immediately stopped at the edge of the penalty area to shoot a jump shot!

Odom tried his best to interfere, but the ball still hit the target!

4 is better than 2!

Marco Jackson in the commentary box smiled after seeing this scene, "Li Kaiming's shot is very similar to Kobe's!"

Stu Lanz and Joel Myers next to them frowned, "What's the difference? Are you a guy who's only over 40 and your eyes are dazzled?"

Marco Jackson showed a mysterious smile on his face, "You don't understand, this ball looks very similar to me, and I am definitely not the only one here who thinks so!"

Stu Lanz and Joel Myers looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces. They didn't know what kind of medicine Marco Jackson was selling in his gourd!

The game continued. After the Lakers sent the ball to the frontcourt, Odom became the starting point of the offense. After he got into position at the waist, he received the pass from the outside and played an inside pass with Gasol.

Li Kaiming and Blach failed to communicate in time on the defensive end, and Gasol found a loophole. The latter caught the ball and scored with a throw and scored another 2 points!

6 is better than 2!

In the Huaguo studio, Zhang Weiping sighed after seeing this scene, "The Wizards' defense is as good as the Lakers' defense!"

Next to him, Yang Yi smiled and added, "Director Zhang, would you compare a rebuilt team with a championship team? Then you have to think about whether your expectations for the Wizards are too high!"

Zhang Weiping was stunned after hearing this, yes!

According to the predictions before the start of the season, it would be good if the Wizards don't compete for the No. [-] pick this season. Now being able to reach the playoffs is beyond most people's expectations. Isn't it supposed to be unable to beat the Lakers?

Thinking of this, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh. Li Kaiming's appearance really gave Wizards fans too much confidence...

On the court, the Wizards served and attacked. After Hinrich and Li Kaiming picked and rolled, the latter caught the ball and encountered a double-team from the Lakers near the free throw line.

Although Blatche inside was unguarded, the passing space was blocked by Gasol and there was no chance at all!

In desperation, Li Kaiming turned around and avoided Odom's block in the air and forced a shot!

Luck was on his side tonight. The basketball flew out of his fingertips, hit the rectangular frame on the backboard, and then bounced into the basket!

6 is better than 4!

Li Kaiming scored all the Wizards' points alone!

This scene surprised both Stu Lanz and Joel Myers in the commentary box!

Like, it's so similar!

Previously, Marco Jackson said that Li Kaiming's shooting looked like Kobe's and they disagreed, but this time the feeling of forcing the shot was exactly like Kobe's!

However, because of Li Kaiming's tall stature, he seemed to be much more comfortable than Kobe, but even so, the three commentators reached an agreement immediately!

Even the commentator outside the court can see it, how could Kobe on the court not see it!

Not only did he see it, he saw it even more clearly!

However, in his mind, Li Kaiming's shooting posture is actually not very similar to his. The former's rhythm and posture are more like a large Jordan. Because of the good hardware conditions, his shooting movements are crisper.

Whether like Jordan or himself, Li Kaiming's shot undoubtedly aroused Kobe's competitive spirit!

He would never allow his opponents to act wild in front of him, so he decided to do the next offense of the Lakers himself!

Seeing Kobe Bryant asking for the ball from behind, the fans at Staples Center started cheering!

The Black Mamba is about to show off his power!

Fisher expertly lobbed the ball from the outside into the hands of Kobe, who jammed Nick Young with his body and easily received the pass.

Defending Kobe's singles was the focus of Sanders' pre-game arrangement, so as soon as Kobe caught the ball, Blatche under the basket and Hinrich on the outside moved towards Kobe's position.

After receiving the ball, Kobe directly hit the ball with his back, staring at Nick Young and compressing the space inside.

As he grew older, Kobe's running and jumping abilities began to decline, so he began to gain weight in recent years, learned Jordan's style of play at the end of his career, and became a ruthless post-playing machine.

At this time, Kobe, as a defender, was as strong as most forwards. Coupled with his superb back-up skills, almost no one in the league could guard against his singles.

Nick Young naturally couldn't stop Kobe, and was easily pushed in by the latter.

When Brac saw this posture under the basket, he would almost hit the basket if he didn't step up to help defend Kobe!

So Brac rushed over without hesitation. At the same time, Li Kaiming on the other side also quickly rotated to the basket to protect the backboard.

But what Brach didn't expect was that Kobe seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. When he just started, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper!

The basketball flew into the basket grazing the fingertips of Blatche and Nick Young!

8 is better than 4!

Staples Center cheers!
