Chapter 336: Before the Game!
The Lakers vs. Spurs game has also attracted the attention of countless people, and this Western powerhouse matchup has been broadcast live in the NBA across the United States!
Barkley and Kenny Smith, the living treasure of TNT, will definitely come out to comment! However, due to the time difference, CCTV5 of the Celestial Empire did not broadcast this game live!
ESPN also sent a pair of commentators such as Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson, who often appeared last season!
Kenny Smith came up and said to Barkley: "Charles, do you think that team will win today? Before the game, no matter how the media reporters provoked, the players of the two teams were silent and did not reveal the slightest rumor, which led to many media reporters not knowing how to write, and could only write a few strokes hastily, but this also aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
What's the deal with the Lakers and Spurs not talking? This has also become an incentive for many spectators to come and watch the game, and they also want to see which of the two teams can win!
Barkley opened his mouth and said, "Yes, as a professional commentator, I should teach you a good lesson! Kenny, you and I still don't know how to look at the situation after so many years, or I want to teach you a good lesson!"
"You, okay, do you want us to make a bet?" Kenny Smith said angrily when he heard Barkley taunt him!
"Oh, bet, you want to make such a bet?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith with an eyebrow!
"It's not easy, just bet on which team you like to win!" Kenny Smith didn't want to speak!
"Okay, although the Spurs didn't make up for it today, Tim heard that he has been strengthening his training this summer, and Manu and Parker are also more mature, and the Spurs' lineup is still strong!" Barkley first said something good about the Spurs, and then changed the topic and said: "So, I'm optimistic that the Lakers will win!"
"Well", originally Kenny Smith thought that Barkley was going to be optimistic about the Spurs winning, but who knew that he would suddenly change his mind, but he still said: "Okay, since you are optimistic about the Lakers, then I am optimistic about the Spurs!
"A week's breakfast?" Barkley looked at Kenny Smith questioningly, knowing that Kenny Smith was not such a kind person, Barkley made a bet with Smith to kiss his butt
"Why do you think the bet is a little small?" Kenny Smith asked! In order to prevent Smith from changing the bet, Barkley hurriedly said, "Okay, that's it, isn't it just a week's breakfast?"
"Okay, the whole American audience is testifying for me! If he loses Charles Barkley, he will invite me to breakfast for a week, and if I lose, he will be invited to breakfast for a week!" Although the stakes are small, it also attracts the attention of a lot of viewers, after all, it is also a national live broadcast!
Barkley and the two can be regarded as warming up for this game, and the ratings have been climbing before the game has even started!

At half past eight in the evening, the game really began, He Yiming and Duncan jumped the ball!
The ball was thrown high by the referee, snapped, He Yiming took advantage of his height and arm length, and followed the bounce that had reached 68 to shoot the ball to the Lakers' camp first!
Luke Wharton quickly ran over to control the ball! In this game, the Lakers still arranged according to the previous main lineup, and Odom still played the sixth man on the bench! The main force on the Spurs' side did not move, and it was still those few people!
When the Spurs saw that the Lakers were in control of the ball, they immediately went back to defense! They were also afraid of the Lakers' fast attack, and in the last game of the Western Conference finals last season, after the Lakers used this trick, the Spurs directly played to the final quarter and were already behind by more than 10 points! The Lakers' first five games also made the league realize the terrible way the Lakers played fast break! Only the strongest lineup was sacrificed, and no one resisted!
However, the Lakers didn't use that trick this time, but Luke Wharton was slowly dribbling through the half! But the Spurs still didn't dare to underestimate the Lakers' offense!
Sure enough, as soon as half of the court passed, the Lakers began to run! The situation on the court immediately changed, and Popovich was also carefully observing the Lakers' tactics, wanting to see what was famous! However, in a short period of time, Popovich couldn't find any answers, and after He Yiming's ability to respond, the entire offense of the Lakers team became more fluid, and the trajectory of the ball was more elusive!
No, Gasol lobs the ball, He Yiming has his back against the defender, and then pushes it hard, Duncan saw that his center was about to be pushed out of position, and hurriedly came over to make up for the defense! I saw He Yiming put the ball away and threw the ball in his hand! Duncan heard a sound, boom! It was Kobe Bryant bombing the basket!
"Oh, we saw He Yiming pass the ball without looking at people, and directly gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe contributed a dunk at the beginning!" Barkley said with a little surprise!
After He Yiming was just trapped, Kobe Bryant had already run to the basket, He Yiming didn't look at anyone, and threw the ball directly, Kobe Bryant was an empty catch!
"Yes, in the past few games, He Yiming's passing is getting better and better, how does he train?" Kenny Smith also said! Although he supports the Spurs, he is still a fan of He Yiming!
The Lakers' first goal was scored by Kobe Bryant's empty catch! Offense and defense switched, the Spurs' offense also followed, Tony Parker relied on his speed much faster than Luke Wharton to directly give him over, when Vujacic ran to make up for the defense, Parker directly distributed the ball to Finley, Finley received the ball and shook Luke Wharton who ran over to make up the defense!
Facing He Yiming and Gasol's two towers, Finley once again distributed the ball to Bruce Bowen in the bottom corner! Bowen opened his hand to shoot, who knew that a figure in the air directly covered the ball!
It's Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant has seen through the Spurs' sudden scoring tactics, and has slowly moved to Bruce Bowen's position, and now he is about to shoot when he receives the ball, and he directly slaps the ball down!
