NBA: I really just want to make money

Even if this confrontation between the Lakers and the Heat does not have the gimmick of a Christmas game, as long as it is a game between Kobe and O'Neal, the attention will not be low. Between these two superstars, The grievances between them have always been talked about in the alliance.

This made the Staples Center full of people for this game. It was packed with people. Even before the game started, everyone was already discussing it and looking forward to the start of the game.

As the newly promoted commentators, Charles Barkley and his golden partner Kenny Smith appeared in the arena for this game, preparing to commentate on this focus game. As golden commentators, they themselves have high qualifications in the league. , and have a lot of talking points, and their popularity is not low.

The difference is that this time there is someone sitting in the commentary box who people have to pay attention to, stealing the limelight from the two of them.

Magic ~ Earvin Johnson, Lakers star, Hall of Fame basketball player.....Today’s special commentator!

This is a legendary player who won five championship trophies for the Lakers in only thirteen seasons. Some people even thought that if it were not for AIDS, Earvin Johnson's achievements would probably surpass Michael Jordan and become It is not impossible to be the first player in the league.

But there are too many ifs in this world that cannot be realized. In the end, Magic can only be a Magician and cannot become the God of Basketball.

It can only be said that it is fate.

It illustrates a truth, men still need to control their lower body.

At this time, seeing Earvin Johnson becoming the guest commentator, the Staples Center suddenly burst into cheers.

Fans are very proud of this meritorious player who has brought many honors to the team.

Barkley expressed envy and started to make trouble:"Erwin, which team do you think will win this game?"

"Of course the Lakers!"

Without any hesitation, Earvin Johnson gave the answer, and still brought himself into the role of a Lakers player, saying bluntly:

"We have the best defensive line combination in the league, the most comprehensive forwards, and a group of outstanding role players with clear characteristics. This game is still played at home. There is no reason to lose. The Lakers must win this game.!"

His words immediately aroused widespread approval in the Staples Center. There were cheers and cheers. The atmosphere was already very lively even before the game started!

"You really know how to brag~" Klee thought that the best back line combination makes sense. Kobe is undoubtedly the top shooting guard in the league. He still averages 40+ points per game and is intimidating. This is not a Scores that normal people can get.

Although starting point guard Chen Hao is only a first-year rookie, no one doubts his strength. The average of 12+9+3+4 per game is convincing enough.

The key is Chen Hao's perimeter The defensive ability and toughness are very terrifying, which cannot be fully reflected in the data.

In addition, Chen Hao has recently shown his good ability and potential on the offensive end. With such a balance of offense and defense, there are Who dares to question a point guard with good organizational skills?

This pair of back line combinations is definitely the top level in the league!

But is Odom the most comprehensive forward? It can only be discussed. After all, in the league There are also new and old outstanding forward players such as Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Webber, etc. who are currently in active service......

Odom, whose performance has never been stable, still needs to continue to improve.

As for role players......To be honest, Barkley really didn't recognize the word"excellent" and could only say he was qualified.

Anyway, it is definitely not as good as the Heat, the opponent in this game~

Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Antoine Walker.....These players are really reliable as substitutes.

The role players on the Lakers' side are completely incomparable.

Of course, even if he was thinking like this in his heart, Barkley would not refute it. After all, this is Staples, and he is Hao Chui.

"It can be seen that you are very optimistic about the Lakers. So what do you think of the recent rise of Hao?"Barkley timely changed the topic to Chen Hao, and he was looking forward to Erwin's words.

Kenny Smith, who was sitting aside and did not speak, was thinking about how to dig a hole for Barkley.

He lost a bet before. Because of him, he wore a bright red dress and explained the entire Christmas war. It was very embarrassing to think about it, and he had to find his place.

It was at this time that Erwin gave the answer:"Hao is a person with great potential. Player, I see endless potential in him. As a first-year rookie, his style of play is very mature and his performance has always been very stable. But what matters to me most is his progress."

After a pause and organizing his words, Erwin continued:

"At the beginning of the season, I originally thought that Hao was just a defensive perimeter player who was complementary to Kobe. However, Hao's recent strong performance on the offensive end has overturned this impression of mine. He can score and is very efficient. A player is worth looking forward to, and his future is limitless~"

In his words, Erwin showed his appreciation for Chen Hao without any concealment. This made Barkley as if he had found a soulmate, and his eyes were full of recognition..The

Haochui family in the world!

But before they could continue their nonsense, the competition had already begun.

""Bang~"

O'Neal took the lead and shot the basketball towards the Heat's half, gaining a chance to believe in the offense. The game officially began.

The Lakers still continued the starting lineup from the previous game.

The Heat made slight changes, O'Neal followed Haslem sat inside, James Posey was at the small forward, and Wade partnered with White Chocolate on the back line.

At the beginning of the game, Wade penetrated the Lakers' defense with lightning speed, went straight into the penalty area, and after jumping high, In the air, he avoided Brown's shot-blocking action and forced a dunk to score. He turned the tables and gave the Lakers a powerful start.

In the following round, after receiving a pass from Chen Hao, Kobe moved around, turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper. The movements are picturesque, and the arc of the basketball is very graceful.

DUANG!

It’s a pity that he didn’t score~

O’Neal protected the basketball, and the Heat launched an attack. Chen Hao immediately clung to the white chocolate, and kept trying to steal with his right hand, causing the opponent to be very cautious in handling the ball. , seeing the right moment, he immediately passed the ball to Wade.

However, a figure wearing an 8 jersey suddenly jumped out and slapped the basketball away.

After running a few steps, Chen Hao took the basketball into his hands.

"LUCKY~"

After muttering something lowly, Chen Hao controlled the ball and quickly passed half court, heading straight into the Heat's penalty area. He looked like he wanted to dunk. He glanced behind him secretly. After entering the free throw line area, he suddenly slowed down and felt The sound of heavy breathing and rapid footsteps behind him hit the basketball directly against the backboard.

Yes, it was smashed.

This surprised Wade, who was chasing after him, and he didn't react for a while.

When he came to his senses, Kobe, who had just completed the steal and was running quickly, had already flown into the air, transformed into Peter Pan, dunked with one hand in an alley-oop, and slammed the basketball into the basket.

"ys!"After landing, Kobe clenched his fists and bumped his chest with Chen Hao, looking very excited.

Dunk vs. dunk, both sides started off very hotly.

~2:2!

The Heat had the ball~

With White Chocolate being watched closely by Chen Hao and unable to perform, Wade took over the ball at the right time, stepped forward, and quickly rushed into the penalty area, but did not take off. , but passed the ball to O'Neal in a small area.

The Shark took the ball and jumped up, squatting with both hands to dunk and score.

After landing, he roared directly in the direction of Kobe.

This made the Black Mamba look very unhappy. He immediately asked Kwame Brown, who was preparing to serve from the baseline, and prepared to respond.

But it was ignored at all, and the basketball fell directly into Chen Hao's hands.

Kobe:".......

Feeling a little embarrassed inside, I silently lowered my raised hand.

Current score~2:4!

The Lakers organized an attack. After halftime, Chen Hao didn't stop at all. He succeeded in breaking through White Chocolate. His coquettish European step dodged Posey's defense and entered the Heat penalty area. He was about to take off. O'Neal was already ready. Jumping to block the shot.

Chen Hao unexpectedly slid along the baseline and ran towards the three-point line.

Before it could arrive, there was a crotch dribble, sending the basketball to the hands of Kobe who cut inside.

The Black Mamba took off again. Although O'Neal was a beat slower, he immediately jumped to block the shot.

"beep~~~"

The moment the two sides touched in the air, the referee blew the whistle directly and O'Neal committed a foul.

Didn't give Kobe a chance to force the shot, O'Neal���The moment I heard the whistle, I just gave it a try.

His right hand hit Kobe's right palm hard, and the shot could no longer be completed.

After landing, feeling the pain in his palms, Kobe didn't complain and walked directly to the free throw line.

""Shua~shua~" made two free throws, Kobe expressed his attitude with practical actions

~44

The Heat still had Wade in possession of the ball, and Kobe was pressing the defender, but he still couldn't stop the already charging Flash and was passed directly.

However, as soon as he broke into the penalty area, Wade was pulled from the air by Odom.

There is no doubt that it was a foul, and it was considered a repayment.

""Shua~shua~"

He also made two free throws. Wade's mentality was very stable and was not affected by the boos in the arena at all.

The game continued~, Chen Haojian controlled the ball and did not give White Chocolate a chance to steal, relying on the pick-and-roll to escape. Defend, go straight into the penalty area

"Boy, this is not the place for you!"O'Neal stood in front of him like a mountain.

His whole body exuded cold oppression.

"This guy is so tall~

As he sighed, Chen Hao couldn't help but admire Iverson more and more. He could hit the inside repeatedly with a height of 183cm in the NBA league where there are many people, and win the scoring title. It is really terrifying, and the movements of his feet are Not slow, he rushed over to meet O'Neal.

"How brave!"

This is the true thought of everyone present at the moment.

Although O'Neal is no longer at his peak, his height and weight are here. If an outsider confronts him head-on, are he really not afraid of being shot apart?

Chen Hao told everyone that he is not afraid.

Because he was not prepared for a head-on confrontation at all, he had nimble steps and a slight hook of his fingers. The basketball flew past O'Neal's crotch, bounced up, and accurately fell into the hands of Odom. The latter did not hesitate and jumped up. Then he was about to dunk with one hand, but before he could press the basketball into the basket, O'Neal turned around quickly, raised his right hand high and almost suppressed Odom's entire body.

"beep~~~"

A slightly harsh whistle sounded, and everyone on the Heat team felt tense and couldn't help but look at the referee.

The situation they encountered made them feel very heavy.

O'Neal's thug foul!

The game has only started less than three minutes, already two fouls?

Then let’s play a ball in the game!

We have to rely on the kidney fighter Mourning to guard the penalty area!

Pat Riley, who was sitting on the bench of the Heat, frowned. He looked at Odom who made one of two free throws and O'Neal who looked annoyed. He was a little entangled in his heart. Should he take O'Neal off the court now or should he take it off? Substitute, or substitute!

Well, he had no choice. If O'Neal committed three fouls in the first quarter, the game would really be unplayable.

The Heat are tall enough, and there are only two inside players who can be used now. One is O'Neal as the starter, and the other is Alonzo Mourning as a substitute.

Due to his age and condition, Kidney Fighter can only play a maximum of 20 minutes in a game. This is because the intensity of the regular season games is not as scary as that of the playoffs. Once he enters the playoffs, he can only play ten minutes at most.

Although such an insider is still full of threats when he is full of physical energy, his lack of durability makes him essentially unable to carry the banner.

However, before Pat Riley raised his hand to signal, the whistle sounded again on the court. When he came back to his senses, what came into view was O'Neal's very annoyed face. The iron-blooded head coach suddenly became furious:"You Why is it a violation to step on a horse again?!!!"
