Chapter 231 The King of Los Angeles
Seven p.m., Staples Center.
As an away player, Su Yang sat on the bench and chatted with Jordan, and the Lakers starters were about to play.
When he spoke again, huge cheers suddenly filled the audience, and Jordan tilted his head to indicate that he didn't hear clearly.
Su Yang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, then turned his head to look at the Lakers player tunnel, and found that many Hollywood stars were standing up and applauding. They took a closer look, including Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Mark Wahlberg...
Jordan approached sideways: "ESPN news said that in this game, more than a hundred stars, big and small, participated, and a few seats on the sidelines cost up to [-] US dollars. The Lakers didn't give away any of them, and they were all paid by the stars themselves. Come on..."
"Maybe this is the Los Angeles Lakers, with a long history and many fans..."
Su Yang turned around and looked towards the auditorium. He caught a glimpse of Jessica Alba at first sight. She was wearing a Lakers jersey, while his husband was wearing a Clippers jersey. Among a large number of Lakers jerseys, he looked particularly eye-catching, like Wanbai Cong A little red.
"He's not the only Clippers fan, is he?" Su Yang felt emotional, quickly scanned around the arena, and found that apart from those positions on the top floor that are not clearly visible, there are tens of thousands of other positions, and he really didn't see any other Clippers fan.
"Which guy is Brother Byron." Little Jordan shrugged, "Otherwise, he would also support the Lakers..."
Before the words fell, the announcer read Kobe's name, and the cheers in the arena burst instantly.
"This is the king of Los Angeles!"
Su Yang applauded along with the audience, recalling the news he saw before the game, saying that in the past four days, Kobe was watching videos even while eating, vowing to find a way to beat the Clippers, and the Lakers coaching staff was dragged into the early morning Discuss tactics.
"When the series is over, it's our turn to dominate Los Angeles, and I promise it will be soon!"
Little Qiaodan's face is full of confidence, and his eyes are firmer than Su Yang's. If others see it, they probably think he is the boss.
Su Yang nodded silently, stood up and stood still, and the national anthem performance before the game came.
The audience applauded, and Maroon [-] frontman Adam Levine walked to the center circle with a microphone in hand.
"Because this guy was playing the Lakers before, he refused to play for us..." Su Yang was a little sour. Compared with the Lakers, the Clippers' record is far better, but their influence is far inferior. Now playing the role is at best a big villain.
With the embarrassing loud sound, the national anthem ended, the lights around the arena were turned on, and the audience cheered.
Then the long whistle sounded, and the game was about to start. Su Yang got up and made final preparations.
In the TNT commentary seat, Chris Webber was full of joy.
Miller chuckled when he saw this: "Are you so willing to see the Lakers fall behind? There is no cover at all?"
"Of course!" Webert slowed down his speech and nodded slowly, like a child watching a cartoon that he has been thinking about for a long time, "The Lakers have dominated the Western Conference for too long. I would like to see the Clippers defeat them and become the new king of Los Angeles. !"
Marvin answered with a smile: "Does it have nothing to do with your loss to the Lakers in the Kings?"
"You know it!" Weber curled his lips, "If it weren't for biased whistleblowing, we would have won..."
"Stop!" Miller raised his hand to signal, "Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams..."
...
On the field, ten players stood around the center circle, point guard Su Yang faced Fisher, shooting guard Gordon faced Kobe Bryant, small forward Barnes faced Artest, power forward Randolph faced Gasol, center Jordan vs. Bynum.
The referee held the ball to the middle circle, held it with both hands and tossed it up lightly. Jordan and Bynum jumped up and competed.
Snapped!The basketball flew towards the Clippers half court, Su Yang received it and slowly pushed forward.
"Defend, defend..." The Lakers fans followed the announcer and shouted in unison.
Su Yang walked across the center line, and seeing the Lakers scattered in all directions, he accelerated to the top of the arc.
The Lakers shrunk and intercepted, Su Yang made an emergency stop at the basket, got stuck behind his back, and threw the ball to the free throw line with both hands.
Jordan, who originally wanted to do a pick-and-roll, suddenly caught the ball, showing a little hesitation, not knowing how to deal with it.
Everyone in the Clippers yelled to shoot, and Jordan lifted the ball and slammed it vigorously towards the back edge of the basket, like a super long-distance dunk.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 2 to 0.
In the transition between offense and defense, Fisher dribbled forward with the ball, ran to the top of the arc to hit Kobe, and went straight to the bottom line.
The Lakers play a very obvious FLOPPY tactic, and the Clippers will communicate and change defenses in advance.
Fisher went around to the other elbow in a blink of an eye and reached out to catch the return pass, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of Su Yang's pursuit.
In a hurry, Fisher pushed the ball straight inside, but Bynum hadn't finished the card.
The basketball flew out of the baseline, the referee blew his whistle to punish the violation, and the sound of sighs resounded throughout the arena.
The Clippers got the ball, Su Yang caught the ball and took it to the top of the arc, beckoning directly to signal the formation of one high and four low.
"Since the Lakers don't play defense or double-team, I can only reluctantly eat Fisher..."
Just as he was thinking, Fisher stepped forward, turned sideways to block the space on the right, and completely emptied the space on the left.
"This is to force me into the inside line..." Su Yang kicked the ground at the same time, and rushed to his left elbow in a blink of an eye.
It's a pity that they didn't get rid of Fisher, and the Lakers quickly formed a shrinking encirclement, so they simply pulled the ball and retreated.
"There are still targets..."
Su Yang beckoned, and Randolph immediately went up to the elbow, caught the ball and turned to face the basket.
At the same time, in the right half, Gordon used the cover of Jr. Jordan to go around and form a chance to catch the ball. Kobe hurriedly chased him out, but Bynum failed to shrink in time. Fisher chased Su Yang and ran to the bottom corner. The Lakers paint The zone defense is empty.
Randolph made a fake shot, picked up Gasol, and stepped down the ball straight to the basket.
Bynum hastily moved laterally to intercept, and according to Randolph's raised hand, he slapped him with a slap.
That action looks like hitting someone, not blocking a shot.
Beep!The referee blew his whistle for a foul and gave Randolph two free throws. The scene was booed everywhere.
In the TNT commentary seat, Webber laughed out loud: "What the hell are the Lakers thinking? They actually voluntarily gave up the zone defense and said they want to go back to themselves. It looks good now. There are vacancies everywhere. The Clippers' breakthrough is as easy as breathing..."
On the field, Randolph failed to hit consecutive second free throws.
Artest grabbed the rebound and faced the sudden pressure from the Clippers, he quickly stabilized his hands and hugged him.
Fisher stepped forward to respond, seeing the Clippers withdrew the press, and directly passed the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt.
Gasol took the ball to observe and wanted to pass it to Bynum, but Bynum was stuck and couldn't compete with Jordan.
Kobe ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball, shifted to the left with the help of Gasol's screen, and pulled out his hand without warning.
Gordon was completely unprepared, and could only turn his head to watch the basketball fly, and then heard a thud.
The basketball went into the net hollow, 3 to 3.
Cheers erupted in the arena, and Marvin said: "I feel that Kobe is going to adjust his offensive strategy. In the first two games, he gave priority to helping his teammates score. Now he needs to open the situation first by scoring to avoid falling into a passive position."
On the court, the Clippers attacked.
With the help of Randolph's 45-degree screen, Su Yang walked to the sideline and rushed to the basket, successfully attracting Bynum to defend.
Jordan received the pass from him, jumped up high, smashed the basket and dunked, and the dunk was sent flying.
Fisher picked up the rebound and strode forward, and the Lakers started a fast break counterattack.
The fans cheered and shouted. Kobe caught the ball from the left wing and pushed Gordon to the waist with his back.
Su Yang saw the timing and suddenly retracted the flanking attack, but Kobe did not pass the ball, but turned around and jumped with the ball, leaning back in the air to avoid the interference of Su Yang and Gordon, and forced a difficult mid-range shot.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 3 to 5.
There were cheers in the arena, Su Yang caught the ball from the bottom line and advanced, and suddenly heard fans shouting.
"Kobe got angry, you guys are finished..."
