In the previous Sino-US emoji war, many emojis with strong Chinese colors dealt a great blow to the American imperialist people. This made them see the power of these memes, and they started using them as well.

And "hehe", as a representative of these emojis, has long been well known to the American imperialist people.

Yi Feng, who has made great contributions to the cultural exchanges between China and the United States and the spread of Chinese culture, posted such an expression on Downs' Twitter, which is both simple and clear, but also profound.

Downs naturally understood what Yi Feng meant, so he was furious.

Compared to the "contempt" that the media says, this is the real contempt! And right in front of him!

was originally the long-awaited champion, but at the moment when Downs was closest to the title of champion, he was snatched away by Yi Fenghu's mouth, and this bite was suffocated for a summer!

In the long summer, while Downs gritted his teeth and practiced hard, he thought that one day he would take revenge on Yi Feng.

However, he held back the fire in his belly, but he couldn't make it out in the preseason.

In the preseason, there is no Lakers. And coupled with the lack of adaptation to the NBA, Towns played very poorly. Unexpectedly, this actually became the reason why he was "despised" by Yi Feng!

Under the teasing of the media, Tang Si publicly issued a war letter to Yi Feng, and was about to spit out this evil breath!

At this time, the media that has successfully fanned the flames is naturally the happiest people.

The confrontation they want to see, with their efforts, will inevitably happen.

People in the United States who have questioned Yi Feng are also particularly concerned about this game. Yi Feng, the champion, what is the quality? After this game, I believe it will be verified.

And the debate about who is more capable of being the champion between Yi Feng and Downs will also have a final verdict after this game.

So, it's a game that everyone is looking forward to.

It was a game that was broadcast live across the United States by ESPN, the American cable television network. ESPN had already set the live broadcast schedule for this game back in August, and although the matchup between Yi Feng and Towns was one of the highlights of this game, the bigger highlight was the return to the Timberwolves' old wolf king Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant.

But no one thought that the duel between Yi Feng and Tang Si would be heated up to such an extent.

Therefore, the biggest attraction in this game is not the veteran showdown between Kobe and Garnett, but the battle between the new champion and the leaderboard!

And as early as the preseason, Kobe Bryant has already revealed that he wants to let Quan Yifeng intend, I'm afraid this will be even more obvious in the regular season. In the future on the Lakers' court, I'm afraid Kobe Bryant won't have many opportunities to be the protagonist. And Garnett, who is back in the Timberwolves for retirement, will not play much time.

Oct. 28, Staples Center, Los Angeles, around 6 p.m. local time.

The Lakers' regular season opener is about to begin, and pregame ceremonies are currently underway in the arena.

After the live DJ introduced the Timberwolves players, they began to introduce the home team players.

The first Lakers to run out of the player tunnel was Yi Feng.

Accompanied by rhythmic music, the DJ began to loudly introduce, "Six feet seven inches tall, handsome from China, carrying No. 1, easy - wind!" ”

Yifeng's performance in the preseason game was initially recognized by the fans in Los Angeles, and after Yifeng ran out of the players' tunnel, there was finally no boos for him in the Staples Center arena, and there were no small cheers and screams.

Not far away, Downs finally saw what the media called his lifelong enemy. However, he can't control any lifelong enemies at the moment, and at this moment, his heart is full of flames of revenge.

"This moment has finally arrived, Yi Feng, are you ready to accept my furious fury?!"

Downs gritted his teeth and let Wiggins, who was beside him, hear.

Wiggins is clear about the grievances between his new teammates and Yi Feng. Moreover, after this period of getting along, he found that Downs has great potential, and it is no surprise that he is the kind of player who will become an All-Star in the future.

They were of the same age, but they soon became friends and talked about the future together. The two once had a seemingly joking agreement: to become the most powerful duo in the NBA!

Although Wiggins was last year's top pick, he is actually very reserved and not the kind of person who is suitable to be the boss of the team. He wasn't worried at all that Downs would lose possession of the ball when he grew up.

Downs is different, many times domineering side leaks. So for Wiggins such a gentle senior, he likes it very much. Because Wiggins will not hinder his growth, and will be his right-hand man in the future!

Wiggins patted Downs on the ass, "Carl, I'll give you my full support!" Even if this is that guy's home turf, I won't let him take advantage of it in the slightest! ”

Andrew Wiggins has the height of a small forward, but because of his thin stature and lack of tonnage, he struggles to play at the No. 3 position. And his favorite is still the number two position!

Although his tonnage and strength are only at the average level in the second position, his height has enough advantages. AT THE SECOND POSITION, HE IS 203CM TALLER, WHICH IS TALLER THAN MOST PEOPLE IN THE LEAGUE.

And he's taller than the average number two, but not slower than them. The explosive power even made him a little faster when he was running and surging.

That's the embodiment of his explosive physicality, and that's why he was last year's top pick.

In this game, Wiggins served as the starting No. 2 position for the Timberwolves, and the starting No. 2 position on the Lakers' side happened to be the object that Towns wanted to teach tonight, Yi Feng.

The visiting Timberwolves' starting five are:

No. 9 Rich Rubio, No. 21 Kevin Garnett, No. 12 Tyshawn Prince, No. 22 Andrew Wiggins, No. 32 Carl Anthony Downs.

The starting five of the home team Lakers are:

No. 1 Yi Feng, No. 6 Jordan Clarkson, No. 17 Roy Hibbert, No. 24 Kobe Bryant, No. 30 Julius Randle.

Shortly after the players of the two teams entered, the U.S. national anthem played in the Staples Center arena. Both the players on the field and the spectators on the sidelines stood solemnly.

After the entrance ceremony, the competition is about to begin.

On the sideline commentary seat, sitting is ESPN's commentary team. Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen.

Jeff Van Gundy was the head coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets, led the Knicks to the Finals in the 1998-99 season, and is also known in coaching circles for building the team's defensive system. It is worth mentioning that his older brother, Stan Van Gundy, is also an excellent NBA head coach.

And the father of the two brothers, Bill Van Gundy, is also a basketball coach. It can be said that this is a basketball family.

Jeff Van Gundy has many well-known anecdotes, the most famous of which was the events that took place in the first round of the playoffs in 1998. That was Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat.

Toward the end of the game, the Knicks' Larry Johnson slammed into Heat center Alonzo Mourning, who threw punches. Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning had a big fight.

Van Gundy ran into the field as soon as possible to pull the rack. In order to protect the player, in a hurry, he hugged the thigh of the opposing team's player Mourning, and was dragged a few meters away from the floor by the tough Mourning.

Afterwards, Jeff Van Gundy received praise for doing so.

After terminating his contract with the Rockets, Van Gundy transitioned into an explainer, and he did just as well.

Compared to Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Brin is a professional commentator who started working as a commentator two years after graduating from college. With a 20-year commentary career, he has extremely rich experience in commentary, and has also formed his own commentary style.

Mike Brin was the first to speak, "This game is unexpectedly interesting!" ”

Jeff Van Gundy smiled, "To be honest, I'm just interested in the veteran matchup between Kobe Bryant and KG. As for those two little guys, I hope we don't have a rookie peck. ”

Mike Brin shook his head and said: "Jeff, you can't do this, as a commentator who is at the forefront of the times, you can't always hold the old-school viewpoint, we have to keep pace with the times!" ”

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head in the same way, "You mean the performance of the Chinese champion in the preseason, right?" I know he's really good, but you know, it was in pre-season! What level of competition is pre-season? No one knows better than me as a former manager! ”

"And in such a preseason game, that inside the list actually played such a performance! It's disappointing. ”

Mike Brin understood, "That's why you said that the rookie showdown that the outside world is looking forward to, and it's likely that rookies are pecking at each other, right?" ”

He continued: "Jeff, you may not know it, Karl Anthony Towns has already explained his performance in the preseason, and he has also given the Chinese champion a battle letter, if he is not very sure, he will definitely not make such a choice!" ”

"The Chinese champion not only brushed up on good statistics in the preseason, but he also led the team to victory, which shows that he still has the strength. And even so, Downs dared to write a war letter, which shows that this showdown is actually still interesting! ”

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head, "Actually, you don't know how much of Downs's war letter to the Chinese kid was out of his own original will?" How could I not know what role the media plays in this? ”

Mike Brin was silent for a moment, "No matter what, my opinion still won't change. I think the main characters of this game will be the top two rookies of this year, and Kobe Bryant and KG can only play the role of male number two. ”

Jeff Van Gundy said, "Impossible, impossible. ”

"In that case," Mike Brin said with a smile, "let's see for ourselves who the main character of the game is!" ”

On the field, players from both sides were ready for the game and took their positions near the center circle.

The referee is holding the basketball and preparing to throw the ball in the center circle.

Downs, who took on the responsibility of jumping the ball, stared at Yi Feng with burning eyes, and his fighting spirit surged.

The Great War is coming!
