NBA: A three-point experience card at the beginning

As the game approaches, Lakers fans have already arrived.

Today's Lakers fans are all wearing black clothes.

Many were wearing the Lakers' Black Mamba jerseys.

Those who don't have the Black Mamba jersey are also wearing black tops.

The entire Staples Center arena was solemn.

The Lakers' home court has always been full of celebrities, and today there are more stars than ever before.

There are Lin Xilei and Li Yifeng from China;

There’s tennis star Sharapova;

There is football star David Beckham;

There’s rapper Snoop Dogg;

Rihanna, Swift;

There is also the actor DiCaprio, and the actor Jack Nicholson, a veteran Laker for decades.

The fans did not talk and laugh as before, nor did they buy large buckets of popcorn and large glasses of Coke.

All the lights in the arena dimmed.

Only the central screen was playing Kobe’s classic scenes.

His ultimate kill;

His listening;

He endured the severe pain of a ruptured Achilles tendon to shoot free throws;

He forced his dislocated finger back and continued playing.

Many fans shed tears when they saw these scenes.

In the Lakers locker room, head coach Vogel patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said:

"Wang, you will start tonight."

Wang Yi has not started two games since his last start against the Jazz.

And today, January 26, the day Kobe Bryant left, Wang Yi once again became the starter.

This is undoubtedly of great significance to Wang Yi.

Although Kobe is gone, the Mamba spirit remains.

And it will shine through in thousands of people.

Wang Yi decided to do one of them!

He nodded heavily to the coach:

"Um!"

When it came to the Lakers' appearance ceremony, the on-site DJ no longer announced each player's name with a high-pitched noise.

No introduction!

In front of Kobe's Mamba Mentality, everyone is as dim as a firefly to the bright moon.

James didn't show off anymore.

Everyone looked silently at the big screen above their heads.

Everyone on the Nets team also looked at the big screen above their heads.

When the picture on the big screen is finished playing.

The DJ’s deep voice sounded:

"Let us observe a moment of silence for Kobe Bryant and all those who tragically lost their lives on January 26th."

Twenty thousand fans at the scene stood up and bowed their heads in silence.

…

The moment of silence ended and the lights came on.

Players from both sides walked onto the court in silence.

The moment Wang Yi stepped onto the court, that voice sounded in his mind again.

The centers of both sides jumped the ball.

The Lakers got the ball.

But after James got the ball, he didn't move it forward.

Instead, the ball is placed in the center of the free throw circle.

8 seconds passed, and the referee blew the whistle for an 8-second violation.

The ball was given to the Nets.

After the Nets served, the bearded Harden took the ball.

He didn't launch an attack either.

Instead, he held the ball with one hand and stood outside the three-point line.

The Lakers didn't have any players to press the ball.

No one in the audience made a sound.

Only the numbers on the timer kept beating.

20…15…10…

8…6…5…

3…2…1…

0!

A full 24 seconds passed before the red light on the backboard came on.

The referee blew the whistle again.

Offensive 24 second violation.

An 8-second violation and a 24-second violation.

To pay tribute to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant, who wears jersey No. 8, and Kobe Bryant, who wears jersey No. 24, will forever be imprinted in the hearts of all fans at the scene, in front of the screen, and in the hearts of all fans around the world.

…

It was only then that the fans at the scene began to take their seats.

The Lakers once again served the ball from the backcourt.

James dribbles the ball into the frontcourt.

When Wang Yi replaced Xiao Hei in the starting lineup, James temporarily switched to point guard.

Wang Yi is the shooting guard, Pope is the small forward, Brother Big Eyebrow is the forward, and Zhuang Shen is the center.

This is the Lakers' lineup today.

Although Antetokounmpo suffered a groin strain, fortunately it was only a first-degree strain, so after resting for so many games, he was finally able to play.

Xiao Hei on the bench looked at Wang Yi on the court.

Although I was unwilling to give in, I lost to Wang Yi in the training match before. In the following games, Wang Yi scored high scores one after another.

Even exaggerated to the point of getting 50.

Even if he refused to accept it at this time, there was nothing he could do.

James dribbled the ball past half-court, and the ball was handed to Nong Mei, who was low down.

Nongmei has not played a game for more than ten days, so he needs to find his touch first.

Thick eyebrows played Griffin in the low post and missed a jump shot.

Looking back, the Nets launched a fast break.

Irving scored on a fast break.

In the second round, James still handed the ball to Nong Mei.

The thick eyebrows started to break through from beyond the three-point line.

Although he passed Griffin, he was interfered by Durant during the layup and still failed to hit.

The Nets once again launched a fast break.

Harden made a long pass across the court.

It was still Irving, who caught the ball and then dunked successfully.

The Lakers were hit by two counterattacks at the beginning.

Especially Wang Yi, who was defended by Irving on two consecutive fast breaks, immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some fans.

This game was broadcast live across the United States, and the commentators on the scene were all from ESPN.

One is ESPN's chief commentator, silver-haired Mike Bree.

He has been broadcasting in this league for decades.

Since today is a special day, ESPN also sent this heavyweight commentator who doesn't comment much now.

One is Charles Barkley.

The other one is Shaquille O'Neal.

As a Lakers star, O'Neal was one of the two core players that won three consecutive championships for the Lakers.

He is also a good friend of Kobe Bryant - although the two had differences before, they have long since reconciled their grudges - and on a day like today, it is most appropriate for him to commentate on the game.

Silver-haired Mike Burry saw Irving score two goals in a row.

But Wang Yi, who was supposed to be keeping an eye on Irving, failed to keep up.

He smiled and said:

"It seems that this young man was frightened. He has never seen such a big scene."

"I haven't experienced a national live broadcast; I haven't competed against a guard like Kyrie Irving. His reaction was a bit slow, and his steps were too slow. In terms of the first two rounds, he is not worthy of today's starting position.

Charles, what do you think?"

Charles Barkley shrugged.

The previous scene of kissing the pig butt is still fresh in my mind, and Wang Yi had just scored 50, so he would not make any nonsense again.

"I think you may be a little arbitrary. Don't forget, he just scored 50 in the game against the Jazz."

Silver-haired Mike Bree shook his head:

"No, the Jazz today are no longer the Jazz during the Marlon Stockton era."

"Today's defense is far inferior to that of the 1970s and 1980s. There are too many body hair whistles. If we put him in the past era, would he still be able to score so many points?"

"Moreover, the number of rounds in today's games has greatly increased, and the overall statistics of the players are showing a blowout trend. Winning 50 is not a big boast. Let him ask the bearded Harden how many 50 he can get in a season."

O'Neill shook his head and said:

"It means that the king can't get into your eyes no matter what."

Silver-haired Mike Bree shook his head again and said:

"It's not that I can't see it, but it's an objective fact. Look at how frightened he was in the first two rounds."

"And the Big Three of the Nets haven't shown their power yet, and the God of Death hasn't shown his power yet."

"When the three giants show off their power together, he won't cry in fear at such a big scene, right?"
