NBA: No. 1 Forward

Popular recommendation:

After the pre-match interview, the players from both sides went to the locker room to prepare, and the game will start immediately.

The D'Antoni team made the final arrangements before the game: "Our opponent is very strong, but there is no need to worry. We will play at our own pace and play our own style, just like the Celtics before. Come on!"

In fact, since defeating the Celtics in the last game, all Knicks players have become more confident, and even if they lose to the Lakers, the media will not criticize the Knicks too much. After all, the Lakers are the defending champions. You just need to play your own rhythm and come out with your own momentum.

Everyone's mentality is also in a relatively relaxed state at this time.

Ten minutes later, the Staples Arena was close to 20,000 seats, and almost all of them were full. Basically, all the fans had already entered the arena. Some of them were holding popcorn, Coke, or Some fans hold huge posters in their hands, and Kobe's posters are the most numerous.

Looking around, the Staples Center is almost full of fans wearing the No. 24 jersey.

There are also a very small number of fans wearing the No. 1 jersey that Lian Dao used in college, and holding slogans cheering Lian Dao in their hands. This is Lian Dao's fans. If they are replaced by fans of other Knicks players, they will definitely be recognized by the Lakers. Fans crowd out.

The commentators sent by TNT for this game were Big Mouth Barkley and his partner Kenny Smith.

At this time, Kenny also started to warm up at this time: "Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the game!"

"Today I will live broadcast today's game with Charles."

"Charles, what do you think has changed in Kobe over the past few years?" Kenny asked a question at this time.

"Change?" The two didn't have this problem when they were talking about the book before. Seeing the faint smile on the corner of Kenny Smith's mouth, Barkley instantly understood that this was Kenny digging another hole for himself.

"It's getting richer and richer." At this moment, Buckley rubbed his chin and said, but seeing Kenny showing that he didn't know himself, he immediately said, "Then tell me, what's changed, isn't it getting richer and richer?" Do you have money? Is it still more and more handsome? If the answer is really more and more handsome, then, Kenny, you can hang my poster at home too. The great Jazz thinks he is more handsome than Kobe. "

Barkley's nonsensical reply also made the audience in front of the TV laugh. These two people will never lack joy together.

Moreover, Barkley's answer also paved the way for Kenny Smith's answer. It has to be said that the two partners really have a perfect understanding.

It's just that O'Neal hasn't retired and turned into a commentator. If O'Neal also joins in, then this commentary team will be perfect.

The commentary of the two super-sized braised eggs, I believe that even if they don't speak, just sitting in front of the commentary stand can make people laugh.

"What are you talking about? Your head that looks more and more like a pumpkin, and you call yourself handsome. Besides, I mean Kobe's strength changes."

"Kobe has grown with age, but his scoring ability has not declined significantly, but has continued to grow." Kenny explained.

"And that?" Barkley couldn't find what Kenny wanted to express.

"I mean, no one can stay young forever, but in the NBA there are people who can stay efficient all the time. Jordan did it ten years ago, and now Kobe is developing in this direction." Kenny said seriously.

Barkley nodded approvingly.

Barkley is also deeply touched on this point. In the few seasons he played against Jordan, he also felt Jordan's continuous evolution during the two and three consecutive championships. In order to fight against the bad boys, Jordan created the breakfast club training. Before the start of the second three-peat championship, Barkley also joined at that time, but not long after he joined, he declared cursingly: If I could work as hard as Jordan, I would have fucking dominated the world long ago.

This shows how terrifying the training intensity of Jordan's breakfast training camp is,

At the same time, this also shaped Jordan's strength. The powerful Jordan finally swept the bitter Pistons for three consecutive years 4:0.

At this time, Jordan also officially started his road to becoming a god.

During the second three-peat Jordan, although his physical fitness and speed were not as strong as in his early years, his skills became more and more terrifying. All kinds of unsolvable fadeaway jumpers made almost all defenders in the league sigh helplessly!

And how many teams fell under the iron hoof of the Chicago Bulls in those years, and Barkley, who had no championship in his life, was one of the "victims"!

Magician's Lakers, Barkley's Suns, Glider Clyde Drexler's Blazers, Gloves and Rainman's Sonics, Malone's Jazz, they are all the souls of the Chicago Bulls in the finals.

The Knicks, as an away game, played first. When most of the Knicks players walked out of the player tunnel, the arena was full of boos. Lian Dao, as the core player of the Knicks, was the last to enter the arena. He even heard the fans Applause and cheers from a few fans.

Lian Dao was still a little surprised. Although he saw fans wearing his No. 1 jersey in college, he was still a little surprised by the cheers given by the fans.

Lian Dao also hastily waved in the direction of applause and cheers. Most of these fans were his fans at the University of Southern California.

"This guy is so popular in Los Angeles." Artest, who was waiting to play at this time, said to Kobe.

"He just brought an NCAA championship trophy to Los Angeles a few months ago. Moreover, this rookie has performed really unusually recently. He was able to lead the Knicks, who were still underwhelmed last season, to a record of 12 wins and 1 loss. Moreover, He also killed the Celtics in the last game, which is a bit unusual.

So it's normal for him to be popular with Los Angeles fans, and I'm looking forward to playing against him. "After saying this, Kobe's eyes also shone with excitement, and his tongue licked the corner of his mouth, outlining a smile.

"He's my prey, and I'll show you real defense." Artest said hurriedly at this time, for fear that Kobe would switch defenses with him.

Kobe just smiled. If Artest can really guard Lian Dao, he can only blame himself for misjudging the person.

The Lakers entered the arena, and the audience burst into cheers. Kobe was the last to enter the arena. When Kobe entered, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena reached its peak, and everyone shouted Kobe's name.

He is the real protagonist of the Staples Center.

Bryant ran out of the tunnel, turned around and waved to the fans in the surrounding audience.

Before the game, Lian Dao bumped fists with the Lakers players one by one and said hello to each other.

Artest also uttered harsh words when he bumped his fists: "Boy, you don't want to score a point against me tonight."

Lian Dao smiled, and said calmly, "I've never scored just one point, so be careful, don't be blown away by me!"

Artest also blushed from being bullied, and wanted to bully him, but at this time Lian Dao had already walked towards Kobe.

"Hey, Kobe, can you sign me?" Lian Dao said excitedly.

The last time I came to Staples to watch a game, I was surrounded by fans and missed the opportunity to find Kobe's autograph, so this time Lian Dao said it immediately.

At this time, Lian Dao couldn't tell that he was a player at all. He was more like a star chasing teenager. Lian Dao's goal was to collect all the signatures of the four major shooting guards. At present, he only collected the signatures of Allen.

This time it's hard to face off against the Lakers, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to sign, won't you miss the opportunity?

Kobe was taken aback by Lian Dao's words. He thought Lian Dao was here to speak harshly. Originally, he wanted to go back and teach this rookie how to use trash talk.

But I didn't expect that this guy didn't play cards according to common sense.

"That depends on whether you can beat me!" After he finished speaking, his face was full of awesomeness, and the corners of his mouth still had a hint of complacency. He never thought that the supernova of the league would be his fan. This is very comfortable, should I? Hurt him lightly.

"How can I beat you?"

"Get more points than me!"

...

Knicks starting lineup:

Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Lian Dao, Paul Millsap, David Lee.

Lakers starting lineup:

Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

Inside, but in terms of height, the Knicks once again fell into a disadvantage.

Sure enough, David Lee and Andrew Bynum jumped the ball, and the Lakers got the ball.
