NBA: The Beast Rises

Chapter 31

“Don’t worry, it’s just a rookie, I’m not Nikolai Vučević’s weak defensive guy.”

“I’m going to give this big man of the Celestial Empire a taste of what is the top defensive level in the NBA.”

Gobert didn’t care about Coach Schneider’s words.

He feels that the reason why the last crown scored high was only because his opponent Vucevic was too weak.

He is not a big white soft type of center like Vucevic.

As an insider who is hoping to be named to the best defensive player, he is very confident in limiting the crown!

……

At this time, the Lakers assembled and flew to Salt Lake City, Utah, on the team’s special plane.

The next game is the home of the Jazz and the Lakers’ first road game of the season.

The Jazz’s home stadium, the Energy Solutions Arena, is the home of the NBA’s famous Devils.

In addition to the fanaticism that makes it easy to cause poor performance, it is also because Salt Lake City is located on a plateau at an altitude of 1300 meters.

The low air pressure on the plateau and the low oxygen environment are a serious physical test for the visiting team.

On the plane, Wang Mian and Kobe Bryant sat together.

“Wang, the home of the next jazz is the home of the famous highland devil, you have to save your physical strength and adjust your state.”

As soon as he sat down, Kobe Bryant joked with him because he was worried that Wang Tian would play away games for the first time and worried that he was nervous.

“Devil’s home?!”

Wang Mian smiled slightly.

“How do I feel, I have better physical strength now!”

Wang Mienhao doesn’t care about the so-called Devil’s Home Field, over time, and the system’s rewards.

He even felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger.

“Haha, Kobe, you look at Wang Mian’s muscles, the plateau home court is just a small CASE for his physical fitness.”

Nick Young also joined the topic on the side, and after the last game, he was also completely impressed by Wang Mian’s performance, and now has a very good relationship with Wang Mian.

When Wang Mian is on the floor, he can shoot without scruples, because he knows that even if he hits iron, Wang Mian on the inside can grab the rebound in the front court.

This is nothing short of heaven for a singleist like Nick Young.

“Of course I know Wang’s talent, but I’m worried that he will be nervous for the first time away from home, and besides, it’s not easy for the Jazz to play at home.”

“Their fans are very cranky.”

As soon as Kobe’s words came out, everyone’s eyes were on Wang Mia, and for rookie players, away games are indeed a big difficulty for them.

Many players are typical home dragons, away bugs, that is, they cannot adapt to the away fan atmosphere.

In particular, although Wang Mian is strong, he has not played many games, and if he is really nervous, he will be in trouble.

“The fans booed me and watched the home team being blasted by me, and it was fun to think about it.”

Wang Mian looked at everyone’s concerned expressions, smiled and said to everyone, signaling them not to worry too much about this little thing.

Wang Mian didn’t say much, he enjoyed the feeling of standing in the spotlight.

The more people pay attention, the better his performance will be.

“If you hear this by Jazz fans, I’m afraid you will die of anger.”

“It seems that you didn’t take Jazz center Gobert seriously at all.”

Why does that sound so forceful? But if there is a chance to make the pretense real, it is really awesome. ”

After listening to Wang Mian’s words, everyone laughed and was relieved at the same time, Wang Mian’s first road trip was completely free of any nervousness.

And Kobe was also very satisfied with the state of the crown and leaked a smile.

As a veteran, although the strength is not as good as at the peak.

But his long career also taught him how to help newcomers better integrate into the NBA’s long season and into the team.

That’s what he usually shows in the dressing room.

With such a relaxed and happy mood, the Lakers’ plane flew to Salt Lake City.

The players checked into the hotel and waited for tomorrow night’s game to begin!

The Jazz have not made the playoffs for four consecutive seasons.

But the team’s strength is actually not weak, and the combination of Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert inside and outside is very talented.

Add in a group of excellent starters and substitutes who average more than 10 points per game, and the team can be said to be a national soldier.

And the Jazz also have a nickname called the strong team killer, and many strong teams come to Salt Lake City home to have the possibility of overturning.

Of course, in the eyes of the Jazz, the Lakers, who were at the bottom of the league last season, are not a strong team, and they can ravage as much as they want.

。。。

“Rudy, what do you think of the Lakers’ rookie crown? He broke Wilt’s dusty debut scoring and rebounding records in the last game! ”

Energy Solutions Arena, Gobert is being interviewed by reporters before the game.

“The stats of a game are nothing.”

“I don’t think he’s going to be going to do well in this game.”

“The “level” of his previous opponents was too low, which is why he scored such good statistics. ”

“I’ll let him know what kind of strength the NBA’s top interior is, and I’ll give him some color to taste later!”

Gobert was very arrogant in the interview.

A rookie who received so much attention, he was already very dissatisfied.

Therefore, in the interview, he also showed no mercy, writing his contempt for Wang Mian and his confidence in himself on his face.

He feels that a player like Wang Mian who has no offensive skills and plays by brute force is basically impossible to score many points under his own defense.

The reporters were delighted with Gobert’s remarks.

The boo of this game is there again!

In the last game, Vucevic was blown up because he despised the crown, and I don’t know if Gobel will repeat the same mistakes.

[Ding-dong… Rudy Gobert’s pre-game provocation was detected and a temporary mission was opened so that Gobert had no more than 5 rebounds in this game

[Mission reward: If successful, a free throw training card will be awarded].

PS, the fifth is here, ask for flowers, evaluation tickets, tips, monthly pass support, thank you!
