Chapter 121

The audience sighed.

Normally, no one would think there was anything wrong with Su Pan's words.

But today is different, their opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The names of the Cavaliers' Big Three make many teams in the league feel daunted.

But tonight is destined to be a tough battle, and neither side will let go of this game easily.

The showdown between the first in the West and the second in the East is about to begin.

At this time, the starting lineups of both teams were also announced.

Home team Los Angeles Lakers.

Starting lineup: Jeremy Lin, Russell, Kobe, Thaddeus Young, Su Pan.

Away team Cleveland Cavaliers.

Starting lineup, Kyrie Irving, JR Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love, TT Thompson.

Just looking at the starting lineups of both sides, Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh with the audience.

"The depth of the starting lineups of both teams is quite different."

"Tonight is a big challenge for Su Pan and the Lakers."

"If they want to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must show a stronger offensive ability than before."

Many fans also nodded in agreement.

Just as Wang Meng said.

There is a big gap between the starting lineups of the two sides, but the Lakers did not feel nervous tonight.

Both sides walked onto the court and prepared to start the jump ball.

The person who jumped with Su Pan tonight was the Eighth Sage King TT Thompson.

TT Thompson, as a short inside player and a famous blue-collar center in the league, his strength has always been a mystery.

If you let him score, he doesn't have much independent offensive scoring, but he can always eat the cakes fed by James and Irving skillfully. If you let him defend, his defensive effect is not very good, and he can only say that he can barely hold on.

He mainly plays pick-and-roll, and his body is not tall enough.

He mainly plays support, and his movement speed is not too fast.

TT Thompson is one of the few players in the league who is well-rounded but not good at anything.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, TT Thompson plays very tough.

He can grab rebounds, defend well, and plays very actively.

One can imagine how tough a man is who can subdue Khloe Kardashian.

But even such a tough man decisively chose to give up the jump ball.

When the referee blew the whistle, the ball was thrown high into the air.

TT Thompson jumped weakly and stretched out his hands pretentiously. He didn't show any intention of fighting for the opening ball.

The referees nearby also understood immediately.

You're playing badly, and now it's in front of me?

It's not that TT Thompson doesn't care about the eyes of the people around him.

He knows better than anyone that even if he tries hard, he can't beat Su Pan.

How tall is he, 208!

How tall is Su Pan, 216!

Whether it's height, arm span, or jumping height, the two are not at the same level.

Even if he tries hard, he can't beat Su Pan. It's better to give up the jump ball to avoid being [shark-killed] at the beginning.

Su Pan was just about to take a step after landing.

People were stunned.

TT Thompson landed first after the jump ball. When his teammates were still near the midfield, he had already run back to his own penalty area.

Not only TT Thompson, but other members of the Cavaliers, as if they had reached some kind of cooperation, all retreated to their own half of the court, and had no intention of fighting for it.

Just give it up?!

In the commentary booth, Kenny Smith was a little confused.

When he saw TT Thompson return to defense faster than anyone else after the jump ball, which was quite comical, Kenny Smith wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"TT actually gave up the jump ball. He was afraid of Su Pan's [Shark Kill].

Russell and Kobe stared at each other. They wanted to help Su Pan launch a fast break as usual.

After seeing the Cavaliers give in, they also had no choice but to persuade Su Pan.

"Let's play position first."

Su Pan nodded silently.

The Lakers organized their offensive formation and set up position in the Cavaliers' half.

Kobe looked at James who was defending him tonight, and decisively chose to pull away and come to the side to make room for Su Pan.

Su Pan also fell into the low position, ready to attack at any time.

Russell's little hand trembled, and after throwing the ball to Su Pan, he also decisively chose to pull away.

Barkley saw this scene and sighed out loud.

"The first ball went directly to Su Pan"

"No matter what, Su Pan is still the most stable link in the Lakers' offense."

"Let's get the first goal first."

"Let's see how the Cavaliers defend!"

TT Thompson, who landed in the restricted area, was sweating profusely.

He had watched Su Pan's video long before, and he studied all night for this battle, just to help the team withstand Su Pan.

After a lot of theory and analysis, now all he needs is actual combat to verify his ideas.

Su Pan didn't have any tricks, he just back-beat the Eighth Sage King and staged Pangu pushing a cart.

Although he was also a ruthless man who could conquer Kardashian, the Eighth Sage King didn't even have room for resistance, and was directly knocked away by Su Pan. One shot hit the target and he fell to the ground.

Su Pan came up and dunked directly.

TT Thompson, who was sitting on the ground, was in a trance.

Although he had prepared himself in his heart, he didn't expect the gap in strength between the two would be so great.

It was also because of this ball that TT Thompson confirmed his thoughts before the game.

At this moment, his heart was full of confidence, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"It's exactly what I thought.……"

"Su Pan is someone I can't beat!"

"Who can beat this bastard?"

Before the game, TT Thompson studied and analyzed all night and came to a conclusion.

He can’t beat him!

So he thought clearly about today’s game.

Just try your best.

Even if you let him explode, he can’t beat him. No skills can make up for it.

Su Pan beating him is as simple as an adult beating a child.

Turning back, the Cavaliers organized an attack.

Everyone was���Chu, TT Thompson can't defend Su Pan at all.

Even restricting Su Pan is very difficult.

In the current situation, they can only compete with the Lakers to see who has stronger offensive ability.

The first attack of the Cavaliers is also very simple.

James backs Kobe.

A few years ago, when Kobe was not injured, he could still defend James a little.

But now that James has gained weight and transformed, coupled with the precipitation of years, the back-to-back offense developed during the Heat period has become one of the commonly used weapons in his arsenal.

Kobe used his legs to exert force, but his injured body was unable to do so.

James chased Kobe all the way to the outside of the penalty area and attracted the Lakers' defense.

When everyone came up, James made a blind pass without vision and stuffed the ball to Love in the bottom corner.

Love made a three-pointer with a flick of his hand.

Barkley was so excited to see this ball

"The match I've been waiting for is here."

"Su Pan has strong defense under the basket, but the Cavaliers have Love inside players who can shoot three-pointers."

"I'm curious about how the Lakers will deal with the Cavaliers' attack tonight.

Kenny Smith frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Why!"

"Where are we going now?"

"The most dangerous situation has not yet arrived!"

The most dangerous situation is when Kevin Love plays center.

That will be the real test of Supan's defensive area.

(Damn, I thought I had predicted it right. The Pacers and Celtics are really good at fighting...)
