NBA: The Beast Rises

Chapter 38

The game was about to begin, when the televised footage was given to Howard, who was giving a pre-game interview.

“A lot of people may want the crown to continue to play at the level of dominance, but sorry, tonight, you are all going to be disappointed.”

“I’m the protagonist!!”

Howard, usually an optimist, rarely speaks harshly to people in the game.

So today’s unexpected performance also surprised the reporter.

“You mean, tonight, you’re going to burst the crown, aren’t you?”

The reporter also feared that the world would not be chaotic and amplified Howard’s meaning.

“That’s right, I heard he’s very good at dunking? Various partition buttons in the game? ”

“But you know, I’m different from everyone else, I’ve won the best defensive player 3 times, and against my defense, Wang Tian doesn’t want to dunk once!”

“That’s what I’m going to say, I’m going to show you the gap between him and me!”

The more Howard spoke, the happier he became, and the bigger he spoke.

He was very upset when he watched the Los Angeles media praise Wang Tian for a long time.

When he first came to the Lakers, the media was very harsh on himself, but any performance was average, which would attract all kinds of ridicule.

Therefore, seeing the media touting Wang Mian made him very unhappy, and he had long made up his mind to make Wang Mian look good, and also let Wang Mian taste the fickle of the media.

Howard’s remarks also caused dissatisfaction among Lakers fans at the scene.

“Howard, you soft-bastard, deserter! Dare to say that Wang Tian can’t dunk the basket? ”

“When did Warcraft Howard become so arrogant? Why didn’t you get tough when you were with the Lakers? ”

“Wait Howard, the crown will burst you, you will regret it!”

Due to Howard’s pregame interview, the Lakers fans at the scene did not hesitate to give him a burst of boos.

Harden, who was standing next to Howard at this time, also answered.

“Wang Mian’s physical fitness is indeed very good, but his attacking skills are too rough, so he can’t go far in this era.”

“It’s just against the center of the fishbelly team, and we won this game.”

Harden, because of his competition with the crown of the week, is also very polite.

“WOW, we can see that Harden and Dwight are very strong today.”

“This game is good, Kobe + Wang Tian vs. Harden + Horford, both teams are a combination of shooting guard + super center.”

“From the perspective of the roster, the Rockets have to have the advantage, after all, Kobe is no longer at his peak.”

“But the Lakers have the X-factor of the crown, and I believe it will burst with amazing energy!”

Due to the strength of Howard and Harden’s pre-game interviews, the two commentators were also excited, and they both knew that the game was going to be good.

Harden + Howard, this is now the league’s No. 1 inside and outside combination, and the Lakers’ previous opponents are completely different things.

“Boss, did you hear what Dwight just said? It’s really too arrogant. ”

When the team was warming up, Larinance Jr. walked to Wang Tian and was very angry.

Wang Mian smiled and did not speak much.

He has little interest in this kind of pre-match mouthpiece.

Anyway, after the game, they all have to be beaten in the face, and now the bigger the blow, the harder the face will be beaten after the game.

Nance Jr. saw that Wang Tian was not affected by the interviews with Howard and Harden, and he was also relieved.

It is worthy of being his own boss, even a super center like Howard has not been put in his eyes.

“Dwight just said that you won’t be able to dunk a basket in this game, boss, you must dunk it on his head for a while!” Little Nance was still very upset when he thought of Howard’s contempt for the crown.

“EASY，GAME！ As long as I want, no one can stop me! ”

After speaking, Wang Mian grabbed a basketball, jumped high, and clasped his hands!

The basket is constantly trembling with the dunk of the crown!

As the warm-up ended, the Lakers began their entrance ceremony with enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Today’s entrance ceremony was a little different, with Wang Tian being the first player to play in the first home game of the season, while Kobe Bryant was the last player to enter.

But today was different, Wang Mian was scheduled to make the last appearance today due to his excellent performance.

Of course, Kobe Bryant does not have any dissatisfaction, because this is his initiative, and Kobe has begun to deliberately cultivate a new successor for the Lakers.

The audience let out deafening cheers as Wang Tian made his final appearance.

The crown brought hope for the revival of Lakers fans, and at this time, they were all cheering for the crown.

“Hmph!”

Howard on the rocket side snorted coldly.

I think he never enjoyed this treatment when he was with the Lakers.

As the referee signaled, the starters from both sides stepped onto the court one after another.

The Lakers’ side is still the same as the previous regular lineup.

Point guard: Avery Bradley.

Shooting guard: Kobe.

Small forward: Nick Young.

Power forward: Larynance Jr.

Center: Wang Mian.

And on the Rockets’ side.

Point guard: Patrick Beverley.

Shooting guard: James Harden.

Small forward: Trevo Ariza.

Power forward: Motel Yunus.

Center: Dwight Howard.

Just from the lineup on paper, the Rockets’ set of starters are very strong.

Beverley and Ariza are both defensive titans and have a three-pointer that can open up space for Howard and Harden.

Coupled with Harden and Howard’s top inside and outside combinations, it is a league-leading powerhouse no matter how you look at it.

The Lakers’ starters are much worse.

Bradley defended well but lacked the ability to attack autonomously.

Kobe is older and it is difficult to maintain form for a long time.

Nick Young has offense and defense, and Nance Jr. is a rookie and inexperienced.

So if the Lakers want to win, they can only rely on Wang Mian’s excellent play.

As the referee threw the basketball into the air, Wang Tian and Howard jumped at the same time.

Howard’s bouncing ability used to be the first inside, and he would have been confident to jump off this basketball.

“PENG！！”

But Wang Miao’s terrifying bounce speed allowed him to touch the basketball first, and slapped the ball into Bradley’s hand.
