Chris Paul can go to the Lakers, and the Southern California derby gimmick is clearly the decisive part, so even in the preseason, this game must be hyped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the ranking of active players given by ESPN, Kobe Bryant's ranking continued to fall, and he fell from seventh to ninth last season, which is obviously difficult for Kobe to accept.

The Lakers faced the Mavericks in the first game of the preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers had fierce backcourt firepower, Paul sent 11+14 data, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, and the Lakers beat the Mavericks 99-81.

In the post-game interview, when the reporter asked Kobe Bryant's opinion on the upcoming "Southern California Derby", he first used the ranking made by ESPN to open the way. Journalists who know Kobe Bryant well know that when it comes to pique Kobe's competitive spirit, he will say more than usual what you want.

The ESPN's rankings are clearly something that can stimulate Kobe, who said: "For the ninth player in the league, today's performance should be passable! ”

'I'm looking forward to that game because we have to meet them four times this season in the next pre-season. To be honest, I want to win 4 times and we'll give it our all. ”

It's not just Kobe Bryant who is dissatisfied with ESPN's ranking, Chen Mo is not a person who likes to have a war of words before the game, but this issue is actually irrelevant to the game, and Chen Mo himself is quite critical of ESPN's ranking.

"I wonder why no one is paying attention to the number one race?"

Ranked No. 1 by ESPN is LeBron James, and despite losing to Chen's Bobcats to the Miami Big Three last season, ESPN commentators believe that the Bobcats would have been eliminated long ago if it hadn't been for Gerard Wallace to defend James.

The reporter doesn't want to see Chen Mo's words involve too many questions about rankings, Chen Mo and Kobe are not the same kind of people, Kobe will shut up after answering the question, he is not a person who talks a lot. But after Chen Mo finished speaking, he would always say a bunch of nonsense, Chen Mo's purpose was to make the reporter dizzy, but the reporter who was familiar with his routine was already able to skillfully interrupt Chen Mo's nonsense and directly throw out questions.

"Oh, the Southern California derby! It's an interesting name, and I heard a phrase when I went back to China in the offseason, and I think it's the best way to describe this game. Chen Mo said: "Friendship first, competition second." ”

As for Chris Paul and Stephen Curry, they definitely can't escape such questions from reporters.

Curry smiled at the reporter's camera and said, "We're all looking forward to this game, after all, this is the last preseason game, and we're looking forward to the opening game of the regular season, when the season finally begins." ”

And Chris Paul, who has an old grudge against Chen Mo, is looking forward to this match, "Yes, I haven't won against him once." But I naturally like to challenge the odd and maybe win him...... It starts with this one. ”

As for two of Chen's former teammates, Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace, both of them chose to avoid the issue.

But even if the two of them were evasive, the match still showed a relatively tense atmosphere through the hype of the uncrowned kings.

This game is a rare situation in which the NBA has packaged a preseason game in this way, which is also a manifestation of the NBA's increasing commercialization, but it is this accumulation of hype and packaging that allows the NBA to become the most gold-absorbing sports league in North America.

However, before this game, the players of both teams were not too nervous, and Chen Mo and Kobe even sat together for lunch before the game.

Bel Elle on Canning Road, Kobe's favorite restaurant, is known for its Viennese grilled steaks in the United States.

"A pre-season game has been hyped like this. Bryant laughed, "This would have been unimaginable ten years ago. ”

"Times are advancing, and the NBA league is also improving, isn't it?" Chen Mo said.

Kobe nodded, and then said regretfully: "Although we are also great now, it is a pity that you can't come back." ”

"Actually, that's pretty good. Chen Mo said: "To be honest, I admire the league's ability to hype up games, I never thought that a preseason game could be hyped like this. Watching the news in the past two days made me look forward to this game, and I couldn't help but be excited when I thought about it. ”

"Me too, so...... It's going to be a tough game!," Bryant said.

"Probably! I'll take it seriously anyway. ”

Although Chen Mo and Kobe Bryant were eating in the same corner, photos of them having lunch together appeared on the websites of major basketball media and social networking sites in the next 30 minutes.

In the era of the big Internet, the speed of information dissemination is unimaginable, and when netizens discuss the matter of Chen Mo and Kobe Bryant eating together, this most special game in NBA history is about to kick off.

"Is the point guard ranked?" Chris Paul said in his pre-game interview, "I'm in second place, but I'm going to overtake him." I like that, I like that I have a goal in front of me. It's not about being young or potential, I just promise that I'm moving forward. ”

Not only does the ESPN rank all active players across the league, they even rank down to each position. Chen Mo is the first point guard, while Chris Paul is second.

The entanglement of the core players of the two teams is a good topic, but there is no kind of animosity between them, but there is a competitive competition.

All in all, it's a weird, but very unique feeling, and that's what Stern likes. It doesn't seem to be hatred, but it is higher than hatred.

The veteran duo of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith sat in front of the commentary platform, and they were the most commentators on Chen Mo's game.

Before the start of the game, Barkley exaggeratedly said: "I finally commented on Jack Chen's game again, I miss this feeling so much." ”

"I think you've probably lost weight. Kenny Smith said.

Because Barkley was always slapped in the face by Chen Mo when he commented on Chen Mo's game, Kenny Smith had this to say.

Barkley laughed twice, and said with a look of indifference: "Remember last season's All-Star Game? That game was the backcourt combination of Kobe Bryant and Chris, and then Jack still took the MVP." ”

"At that time, Kobe and Chris were not on the same side! It was more like a 1-on-1 1-1, after all, it was four people grabbing the MVP. Today, the backcourt combination of Kobe Bryant and Chris against the backcourt combination of Jack Chan and Stephen Curry is more in line with the atmosphere of basketball and can inspire a truly exciting game. Kenny Smith said.

"It's a pity it's just a pre-season game. ”

"But I'm sure with the competitive spirit of these guys, it's still going to be exciting. ”

Just as Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were talking nonsense, the game was already underway, with Biedrins winning the battle with Bynum, and Chen Mo slowly pressed the ball to the top of the arc.

Chris Paul pulled up the defensive posture and stared at Chen Mo's dribble, the two of them can be regarded as old rivals, and they have studied each other very deeply.

"The first ball. Paul said in a "you know" tone.

Chen Mo nodded and waved his teammates away.

At the same time as his teammates pulled away, Chen Mo's brain began to run rapidly, and he was calculating Paul's defensive focus.

Although Chen Mo can judge his center of gravity through the opponent's movements after the brain enhancement is upgraded again, Paul is one of the best defenders in the league in steals, and some things cannot be calculated by calculation alone. After all, it's normal for a player like Paul to make some moves that are not calculated.

Dribble...... Shaking...... Chen Mo didn't make any temptations, and came up with his trademark fancy dribble.

The picturesque dribble made the fans at the scene fascinated, but Paul, who was defending Chen Mo, was not in the mood to pay attention to this beauty, and he must always guard against the murderous opportunities contained in this beauty.

Chen Mo used the horizontal swing of his body to block the position of the ball, and the ball was pulled behind him by him.

"Step on the left foot and break to the right!" Chen Mo saw the best breakthrough route, but he still made a superfluous move in order to be more safe.

Chen Mo handed the ball from his crotch to his body, which was a flaw in selling Paul, but Paul didn't pay attention to the opportunity to break the ball at all, and he stuck in the position.

Chen Mo moved the ball to the left, and Paul's center of gravity was completely on the left. The former uses the flexibility of the wrist to make an extreme kickback action, hands the ball back behind him, and uses the tip of the elbow to fly the ball to the right sharply. The latter was also extremely quick to react, and he immediately made a defensive and tackle, but he was still a little slower.

This is an amazing pass, this is a move that shows Chen Mo's dribbling and passing skills to the peak.

Chen Mo shook Paul away and directly chose a mid-range jump shot, Paul's pace was faster than him after all, Chen Mo didn't want to give Paul a chance to catch up again, he directly ended the attack with a shot.

"You're playing more fancy. Paul said.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I like fancy." ”

Paul shook his head, all he could express was helplessness for a player like Chen Mo. There is no one who doesn't like to be fancy, but if he can be as fancy as Chen Mo, but he can still maintain great lethality, so far there is no second person besides Chen Mo.

It is worth mentioning that many basketball coaches now love and hate Chen Mo.

Love him because he plays really beautifully, and he's the most unique player in basketball history.

hates him because Chen Mo has set a very bad example for their students. Those children who watched Chen Mo play ball all wanted to learn Chen Mo. Learn Chen Mo's three-point, learn Chen Mo's fancy dribbling and imaginative passing. But what can ordinary people learn?

Paul still chose to use his strength and speed to eat Chen Mo, and after swinging out of the space to move forward, Paul immediately used his body to lean on Chen Mo.

Paul was also blessed with strength, and the strength of his lower limbs allowed him to repeat the process of feints, cancellations, and then feints.

Even if Chen Mo's brain is powerful, he still can't calculate all of Paul's movements in a quick one-on-one.

Chen Mo was still passed by Paul, but Paul's stop-and-go jump shot after the pass came out of the basket.

"Obviously, Staples's basket is not familiar to you!" Chen Mo said.

Paul didn't think Chen Mo's joke was funny, although he passed Chen Mo, he didn't score, he obviously still lost.

Paul said, "Has anyone ever told you that your mouth is really annoying?" ”

"I don't know if people will find me annoying, but you will definitely find my mouth annoying. Chen Mo smiled: "After the game, I still have to eat you with this mouth, you must be distressed." ”

Thinking of the agreement between them to "treat the loser", Paul was irritable, he didn't like Chen Mo's determined appearance.

"You've got to win the game. Paul said.

"Every time I play against you, there are other benefits, so I'm very focused when I play against you. ”

Barkley laughed, "Kenny, you said that Jack is not afraid of the ball being broken when he dribbles and chatters with people?"

"Anyway, no one has ever broken the ball out of his hand so far. Smith said: "But he has the ability to talk to anyone he can talk to, I think it's really powerful." ”

"yes! Everyone else replied to him. Barkley said: "Like Gary Payton, they talk more, but they don't pay attention to them at all. ”

Just as Barkley and Smith were chatting, Chen Mo had already used Biedrins' block to break in.

Biedrins is faster than Bynum, so Chen Mo increased the proportion of blocking and dismantling with Biedrins in this game.

This year, the head coach of the Lakers is no longer the familiar Phil Jackson, the old Zen master has retired, and Buss Jr. has handpicked former Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown as the new coach of the Lakers. This guy, who is called "bread" by Chinese fans, is a coach who emphasizes defense.

Mike Brown's defensive tactics are really good, he came out of Pop Povich's coaching staff, but some people say that he only learned Po Povich's defense and rushed out of the division.

The Lakers have been working together for a short time, but they have done a great job of rotating their defense, Chen Mo was blocked by Artest, and Gerald Wallace went to block Biedrins' air cut lane.

Chen Mo and Biedrins' blocking and dismantling is the same as Chen Mo and Kwame Brown last season, and Gerald Wallace knows it very well.

The Lakers' defense rotated quickly, Chen Mo was amazed by the rotation of the Lakers' defense, and still found an opportunity indifferently, and passed the ball to Kirilenko with his right hand to the left.

Kirilenko had a great chance to make a layup, but a purple-gold figure chased after him, and a big hat slapped the ball off the sideline.

Kobe Bryant flashed his fist fiercely under the basket, and Chen Mo rubbed his palms on the side and didn't know what he was thinking.

The smell of gunpowder in the game has already begun to rise...... Not to mention that this game can reach the intensity of the finals and playoffs, but at least it can reach the intensity of the regular season. (To be continued.) )
