Chapter 500: Staples surging
"I'm looking forward to playing him again and I'll admit I was completely dominated by him in the playoffs last season...... That's one of the reasons why Dallas will be out in the first round. Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Terry said very frankly in an interview: "But I don't think he can still dominate me like he did last season." Although it is said... It's not an honour to beat him like that, but I'm still going to give 100 per cent of my strength to it. Because... It's my job to help the team win! β
Jason Terry's words are full of regret, but in reality they are just his public rhetoric. He had long wanted to rub the little tiger's head on the floor, so he didn't care if the little tiger was seriously injured and was just recovering from it...... In the playoffs last season, Little Tiger hurt him so much that he even needed sleeping pills to sleep two weeks after he was eliminated. Now that he has the opportunity to take out Little Tiger, of course he has to do his best!
"Tiger will only be able to play a maximum of ten minutes in this game."
Lin Wanwan told Phil Jackson very firmly before the game.
At this time, her identity is not only Little Tiger's agent, nor is it just Little Tiger's plenipotentiary commercial representative, he is also the president of the Golden State Warriors Club!
Phil Jackson felt a little embarrassed, feeling like he was following orders from other clubs.
However, based on the health of the little tiger, he still nodded awkwardly.
"Nervous?"
In the locker room before the game, Black Mamba deliberately walked up to Little Tiger and talked to him.
The little tiger sat in the corner of the door, and he kept quiet at all times. The Lakers in front of him are very unfamiliar to him, and he can't find any sense of belonging here.
"It's fine!" Little Tiger shrugged his shoulders: "I've only played one game at most." β
The Black Mamba knew that he had a grudge in his heart, and he also knew that he had made up his mind now, so... I didn't know what to say, just patted him on the shoulder.
Kupchak then walked into the dressing room, where he asked one of his players to say something about the atmosphere of unity, as is customary.
Before he could speak, Little Tiger got up and left the locker room.
At half past seven in the evening, the much-anticipated battle for the comeback of the little tiger began.
However, Little Tiger, who is the biggest protagonist and the biggest gimmick, did not make his debut.
Although the call for Ttiger resounded throughout Stamp during the opening introduction of the players, however... The live DJ still didn't pronounce his name.
"The Lakers era of the little tigers is over." Charles Barkley said sentimentally: "For capitalists, no matter how famous you are, no matter how good your strength is, no matter what miracles you have created for the team. In their minds, you will always have only one attribute: commodity! β
He had a feeling of sadness for a rabbit and a fox.
Kenny Smith, who likes to raise the bar with him the most, didn't object this time, because he remembered his old teammate, Olajuwon!
Olajuwon dedicated his life to Houston, but in the end, he avoided being sold to Toronto and retired.
"The good thing is that our little tiger has enough money, and he is now the full owner of the Golden State Warriors." Earl Johnson said a word of relief that diluted the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the two player commentators.
At this time, sitting at the ESPN commentary desk not far from them, another issue was being discussed.
"How much strength does Tiger have left?" "As a point guard known for his explosive speed, he's lost the all-important ankle ligament, can he still lead the court," McBlin said. β
"I think the Lakers have already given the answer." Bill Wharton shrugged: "If the little tiger still has enough strength, how can they be so cold to him?" How could he sell all his descendants? β
"Tiger doesn't really rely entirely on speed and explosiveness, his playmaking skills are overshadowed by those dazzling breakout highlights. And also... He is also very capable of back-to-back singles. Reggie Miller is relatively optimistic: "If he can improve his shooting ability, I think he can still maintain the standard of a rotation player." β
"Rotate players? What nonsense are you talking about? Bill Wharton retorted sharply: "A point guard known for his physicality can still play in the NBA rotation if he loses an ankle?" There has never been such a precedent in history! He certainly can't! β
Reggie Miller shrugged his shoulders, he didn't have a firefight with Bill Wharton, and the game was already underway.
Little Tiger was called to his side by Phil Jackson, and the two sat next to each other.
Although Phil Jackson once criticized Little Tiger's private life, although Little Tiger sighed because of the Tiger Girl's injury, and even shouted in the media: Damn Hollywood ruined the all-time number one point guard.
But when his little tiger returned, he still gave the most solemn treatment. He won't snub the little tigers because of the attitude of the Lakers management.
Because, he always felt that Little Tiger was a real basketball genius, even if he couldn't play.
"Have you ever thought about becoming a basketball coach?"
Phil Jackson asked Zhou Zheng.
Little Tiger shook his head and asked, "Have you ever wanted to live in San Francisco?" I can give you an annual salary of 10 million. β
Poof!
Phil Jackson couldn't help but laugh, he laughed, "Are you seducing me?" β
"No, this is the latest career advice for you. I was resigned last week by Mr. Nelson, and he felt... Now the Warriors' plans are in conflict with what he envisioned! Little Tiger said seriously: "He can't stand Kwame Brown's running and Miles' irregular cuts. Oh, yes... He hasn't been able to get his hands on Zach Randolph, Steve Jackson, Darius Myers, and Mirishitsch's night party! β
"Do you think I can handle it?" Phil Jackson said angrily, "I hate to smell the damn big-hemp smell in the locker room!" β
"Don't try to trick me into going to San Francisco. Haven't you read the recent basketball reports? It's becoming the worst gang gathering point in the history of the Alliance...... You've single-handedly built the San Francisco Penitentiary beyond the Portland Penitentiary! β
Phil Jackson's attitude was ruthless and resolute.
There really hasn't been any good news around the Golden State Warriors lately, drag racing, clubbing, court clashes, in short... Those bastards have really turned San Francisco upside down!
They've been in seventh place in the West for two weeks, though, and no one can shake them!
"There's no one there who smokes hemp!" Little Tiger corrected Jackson with a question: "Everyone made promises to me. β
Jackson didn't reply, wondering if he had heard clearly.
Just then, a basketball suddenly galloped towards Jackson!
Seeing that he was about to hit Phil Jackson, a big hand suddenly appeared, firmly grasping the galloping basketball!
Stamp Arena was amazed.
Zhou Zheng raised his head and saw from the replay video on the big screen...... It turned out to be a pass from Lamar Odom, who passed the basketball directly to the bench without any defense.
"Oh my God!" Assistant coach Winter Sr. patted his head and screamed, "This guy must be confused." β
Phil Jackson felt helpless, and just now he was still accusing the Golden State Warriors of the big hemp problem, and in the blink of an eye, Lamar Odom gave himself such a hand.
"It seems that Los Angeles is no less troublesome than San Francisco." The little tiger laughed.
Jackson was even more embarrassed.
The game goes on.
The Dallas Mavericks played exceptionally tenaciously tonight, and their offense was exceptionally fluid.
In contrast, the Lakers, who are playing at home, are a little absent-minded. Lamar Odom remained out of the system, Derek Fisher was unable to cope with Jasontri's onslaught, and Pau Gasol was also in decline in the European civil war with Nowitzki.
So, the game once again switched to black mamba mode, and he carried the whole game alone.
Single-handedly take on the entire Mavericks team with legendary skills.
At this time, the fans of Staples Arena began to miss Little Tiger immensely.
They remembered that in the first round of the playoffs last year, the invincible Dallas Mavericks were beaten by the Purple and Gold without the slightest temper.
But now... The scene is still the Dallas Mavericks biting the Lakers like jackals.
The margin widened at the start of the second quarter, and the margin widened to double digits as Nowitzki and Jasentree each hit a three-pointer.
TIGER! Tiger! Tiger!
The stadium didn't know when it started shouting Tiger, at first it was a small shout, and finally it turned into a roar of the whole stadium.
Angelenos' longing for the tiger cub finally formed a tsunami that completely submerged Stamp Arena.
With 3 minutes left in the second quarter.
Phil Jackson finally got along with the name, and he replaced Fisher with Zhou Zheng.
When the little tiger walked onto the court, the already roaring Stamp Arena completely exploded, and everyone came up with their most passionate voice in the playoffs last season: Tiger! TigerοΌ TigerοΌ
The DJ at the scene also ignored the Lakers management's pre-game warning, and he roared in a hoarse throat: "Let's welcome Los Angeles' forever No. 10 point guard, Tigerrrrr!!! β
The momentum of Staples Arena is surging to the extreme.
The ratings of major TV stations also soared to an incredible arc at the same moment.
Only the little Bas in the VIP box had a gloomy expression, he didn't expect that after being refrigerated for so long, the popularity of the little tiger would be so high!!
