Sports Illustrated is an American sports weekly owned by media giant Time Warner. It is read by 23 million adults each week and has more than 3 million subscribers, including more than 13 million, or 19% of men, in the United States. It was the first magazine to win the National Magazine Award for Excellence twice, with more than one million circulation. It is very effective at relieving Kyle's firepower.

Of course! The most popular sports player in North America is definitely on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which is an affirmation of Kyle, whose popularity is absolutely popular in the United States and has become a popular figure.

After the game between the Raptors and the Wizards, Arenas was collectively teased, and the legendary "Mouth Cannon King" added another spot. But what is surprising is that Arenas did not stand up to refute the accusation, and acquiesced! This is unprecedented, Arenas has such a good temper? People don't know that Arenas is hiding from the media! He was afraid that Kyle would jump out and make him bet on it, and it would be embarrassing!

Kyle didn't say a word, and they flew back to Toronto to meet the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.

There is no need to repeat the glorious history of the Lakers, who have won more championships than the Celtics. Famous blockbusters, such as the NBA's icon icon is the Lakers' historical figure Jerry West, the ancient god George McCann, the tragic god Elgin Baylor, the basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain, the 70s Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, the 80s Elvin Johnson, the Magic's name resounded throughout the league, to the OK group in the 90s, the legacy has continued.

The three-in-a-row championship dynasty at the beginning of the 21st century made the Lakers truly ferocious, and the city was highly exposed, becoming a veritable No. 1 nobleman in the league, and was praised by fans as the "Purple and Gold Aristocrat". But in the 03-04 season, after their Super F4 was beaten by the grassroots Pistons in the finals, the once-prosperous Zijin Dynasty officially collapsed, "Big Shark" O'Neal left Miami, and "Postman" Malone was forced to retire by "sexual * harassment" rumors and never won a championship. Gary Payton "The Glove" also left, and only "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant remained in the Purple and Gold royal family, and the following year they were greeted by the second miss in the playoffs in 11 years.

This summer, they were poised to make a move, except for the sale of Caron Butler to get the famous parallel trader Kwame Brown on the trade market, and then the thunder and rain, and the signing of the homeless Smush Parker in the free market, there was no big move.

Kobe Bryant carried the team forward alone, performed the drama of a lonely hero, and now ranks eighth in the West, which can be said to be entirely the credit of Kobe Bryant, who is currently averaging 33 points per game and topping the scoring list. In addition to Kobe, the rest of the people who can handle it are Lamar Odom, and the rest are egg scattered.

But even so, the Lakers still won everyone's attention, and their ability to attract attention was inversely proportional to their record, and T*NT chose to broadcast the game live, and the Raptors also took the opportunity to show their faces and take advantage of this hard-won east wind.

Kobe Bryant is very popular, but he is far from reaching the height of later generations, he is now at most the league's popular fried chicken, in terms of achievement and honor, he has nothing but three crowns. Measure whether a player is great enough, scoring champion, MVP, FMVP, total championships, all of them are indispensable, Kobe Bryant except for the last item, everything else is blank.

Legend has it that O'Neal was forced away by Kobe, he desperately wants to prove himself, without a big fat man, he can still lead the team to the top, but the reality is always cruel, he missed the playoffs last year, and this year is also faltering, how much more ambition does Kobe have? Nobody knows. Judging from the momentum of his slashing, he is indeed desperate.

The Canada Route Center Arena is packed, and the Raptors have been strong lately, so it's no surprise that they're looking forward to it.

"We met Kyle Lowry again, and it wasn't easy at all, there were so few games scheduled for the Raptors. I miss meeting him in Phoenix, and I still remember his performance. ”

"That's true, Kyle is the fastest growing player I've ever seen. Once a rookie, now he has grown to the league's first-class level, which is surprising, as long as he keeps it, the level of a top player is not far from him. ”

"Of course! Kenny! The words you said back then still ringing in my ears, remember? Say it and let's have fun. ”

"I remember you agreed with me at the time, and you praised me for saying that passage was the best commentary of my career, and if I remember correctly, you said you liked it."

"Is there one? All right! Even so, I'm taking care of your face and answering it smoothly, and I don't want you to be too embarrassed. ”

"Sir Charles! Do you need me to despise you? ”

"Nope! I'm telling the truth, I've been bullish on Kyle for a long time, and I think he's going to be at least one of the biggest names in the league. ”

"Scoundrel! I have nothing more to say. ”

"You used to underestimate Kyle so much, and you really shouldn't, proving that you really have a problem with your vision."

"Alright! Here, I need to apologize to Kyle, I offended you, please forgive me for my mistakes. Kenny turned to Barkley to gesture, "It's your turn!" ”

"I didn't say anything, really! All can testify for me. Barkley confessed, looking innocent, "The first time I saw him, I felt that he was extraordinary, and it was." ”

"You're so fat that you're thick-skinned." Kenny rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Let's take a look at the Raptors." ”

"I don't think there's much to say, the coaching staff of each team should have studied Kyle thoroughly, including everyone in the Raptors, and it was published in Sports Illustrated yesterday, which is very detailed and objective."

"Kyle's growth rate has been really unexpected. So let's talk about the secret of their winning. ”

"Kyle and Chris are a powerful duo and one of the strongest duos in the league. The other role players fit the style of both of them well, but the absence of Jamal and Matt does hurt them immeasurably, but Kyle and Chris can handle it, whether it's a single or pick-and-roll combination. ”

"That's right! That's what I want to say. ”

"So Kenny! What do you think about our protagonist today. ”

"Kobe Bryant is going to score 40 points, that's my opinion."

"It's nonsense, and the whole world knows it."

"Alright! In fact, the secret of the Lakers' win is that everyone pulls away and watches Kobe Bryant play alone, which is their only tactic and the most effective tactic. ”

"I don't know how to be happy? It should still be sad that the once-invincible capital army has fallen to such a state. ”

"This is exactly what has fulfilled Kobe's prestige, they have improved significantly this year, the playoffs should not be a big problem, and Buss should give Kobe a salary increase."

"If it were me, I could have done better, I swear!"

"Yes! If you're in the Lakers, Buss probably has to wash his face with tears, and don't expect to win the championship in this life. ”

"I just lack luck! I repeat it. ”

"Don't mention it anymore, the audience is tired of hearing it, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, the Lakers point guard is Smush Parker, the shooting guard is Kobe Bryant, the small forward Lamar Odom, the power forward is Kwame Brown, and the center is Chris Meem. Let's look at the Raptors' starting lineup, point guard Kyle Lowry, scoring guard Jalen Rose, small forward Morris Peterson, power forward Joey Graham, and center Chris Bosh. Sir Charles, have your say! ”

"The Lakers' lineup is really scary, Kobe Bryant doesn't need to discuss, Lamar is an all-round warrior, can inside and outside, can grab rebounds, score and organize offense, is a good guy, and then Smush, he has improved significantly, averaging 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, but that's relative, look at his stats, is this a qualified point guard? Apparently! The Lakers have gotten to the point where they have to put a long-time wanderer in the starting spot. The last two insiders, do they have offensive ability? Have it? Is there really one? The blind can see that they don't, they are coolie blue-collar workers. Obviously, the Lakers made a mediocre choice this summer, trading Cuaron for Kwame, a parallel import, and lost a lot of money. ”

"What about the Raptors?"

"Jamal's absence makes them have to do this, which also shows that Joey's strength is obviously underestimated, he can defend three positions, and he is very good at cutting and running, a bit similar to Matt's role positioning, his position and function are a bit overlapping with Morris, but! It's the right thing to do, it's a very flexible lineup, it's good three-point play, it's good on the counter-attack, and with a little bit of slackness, they can take their chances. That's not the point, the point is that I have to praise them, they were resilient enough in the absence of two big men, and the pre-match prediction became a joke. ”

"Do you think the Raptors have a better chance of winning?"

"Yes! Unless Kyle cuts 50+, they won't have a chance. ”

"To be honest, I'd love to speak for Kobe, but that's what I'm trying to say, they don't stand a chance."

"Nope! There should be another possibility, the Raptors are physically exhausted. ”

"Really careful."

"The referee signaled for the game to start, the crowd, the big drama is about to begin, and I'm looking forward to Kyle's performance."

"On the contrary! I'm looking forward to Kobe's performance. ”

"Yesterday Gilbert Arenas was a role model for Kobe, and I like him to be on par with Gilbert."

"You're underestimating Kobe, Charles!"

"I'll be right."

"Then we'll just have to wait and see."
