Kobe and Yao Ming sat on the sofa, looking at Wayne cheering on the TV, and they were suddenly full of fighting spirit.

When Bryant and Wayne trained together this summer, he knew the Trail Blazers would be a big problem this season.

It's not because he marvels at Wayne's ability, after all, when Wayne defeated Shaq, his ability has already been recognized by Kobe.

What Bryant was amazed about was Wayne's attitude towards basketball.

He really didn't expect that Wayne didn't miss a day to train with him in the early morning.

And...... I come earlier than myself every day!

This shows Wayne's dedication to victory.

And Kobe Bryant likes to play against people who have a desire to win.

Summer's heads-up actually made him win me more than ten times, and every time he was crazy about things when I couldn't move, and he was angry!

Wayne: The ...... who is obsessed with victory Actually, I'm just hungry for your back.

"Yao, the next game will be a real test for us."

"Well, but we seem to be fighting back-to-back......"

Yao Ming pouted, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers was on November 8.

But on November 7, the Lakers will first play the Timberwolves at home.

According to the urine nature of the Zen master, Yao Ming will not get much playing time in back-to-back games.

That's a lot of fun.

Knowing that a Zen master is protecting himself, who wouldn't want to show off in such a crucial competition?

In short, in this game against the Trail Blazers, Yao Ming will not play more than 30 minutes.

How to do the most in a limited amount of time, this is what Yao Ming needs to consider.

"It's okay, even if you only play 30 minutes, you can dominate the inside, I believe in you, Yao."

Kobe Bryant is very fond of Yao Ming, this is different from Shaq, he is a very professional player.

Whether it's for the game or the training, it's much more serious than Shaq!

Kobe Bryant believes that after a few months with Yao Ming, he will be able to completely forget about Shaq.

Sark?

One won't make free throws.

After tonight, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers touched the hearts of all fans.

Everyone can't wait to catch a glimpse of the two new powerhouses.

ESPN's ads were already running days in advance, and CCTV was promoting the NBA game every day.

For this reason, CCTV reporters sent a team of reporters to Portland and began to record special programs in advance.

Director Zhang: That's right, it's me again.

It's fair to say that no NBA regular season has been treated so highly.

Although this is not the first time that the NBA has staged a Chinese derby, it is not the first matchup between Wayne and Yao Ming.

But this is the first time that two Chinese players are competing as core players in two championship teams!

And it's not just a carnival for Chinese fans, even if Chinese elements aside, what basketball fan in the world wouldn't want to watch the first meeting between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers?

The peculiarities are there at once.

The NBA expects more than 200 million people to watch the game, considering that the whole of the United States has about 300 million people.

Portland has never been more in the limelight.

Stern only feels a pity now, but it's a pity that Wayne and Yao Ming are both in the west.

If Wayne and Yao Ming are in the East and West respectively, and they are both competing for the championship, the ratings of the finals will not be worrying at all.

The day before the Lakers and Trail Blazers game began, Pao Luo came to the training hall and exclaimed, "There are so many Chinese tourists on the street!" ”

"What's strange about this, that's Wei's influence." What is the concept of the Tucker brother, the game watched by 200 million people?

Tucker just wants to tell his mother right now, your son wants to be on fire!

Wayne is very calm about this, after all, he has experienced the moment when Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian derby, more than 250 million people watched the game.

So, it wouldn't be surprising how much attention Wayne had for this game.

It's the next game...... I'm afraid it's going to be a bit much!

Yao Ming + Kobe, how strong the comprehensive strength of this lineup is.

Let's play a few games!

Thinking of this, Wayne rubbed his hands excitedly.

Don't say it, this season in the west, the brush is indeed happier than the east.

There are indeed too many strong teams in the west this year, and there are a lot of growth points given in each game.

This just makes up for the Trail Blazers' tool man...... The disadvantage of not having enough good teammates.

In the past, in the cornfield, from time to time you could pull Atai to frantically gather wool.

But right now, the Trail Blazers don't have such a role for Wayne to brush upon.

Wayne has already tried, but because of the hard wounds in his mother's womb, he can't go head-to-head with him and not add much growth points.

Although the sister-in-law gave a lot, the sister-in-law was not a training maniac.

He's a very serious guy, but he's not at the level of a training freak.

After all, it is a child from a wealthy family, and for this kind of person, basketball is just a part of life, and it has not yet reached the point where he has to work hard for it.

Moreover, Wayne is also afraid that he will play his sister-in-law too hard, so it is unrealistic to brush some on his head.

Outlaw and Tucker were willing to practice with Wayne, but they were a little less interesting in terms of strength.

The lack of a suitable tool man made Wayne very distressed for a while.

Fortunately, the opponents in the west are relatively strong, and even if you just play the game, you can get a good income.

What's more, it's a super opponent like the Lakers!

So in the afternoon training, everyone obviously noticed that Wayne became very excited.

The last game just hit 30+10 data, and tomorrow we will play the Lakers again.

Wayne: This is ready to make a big move.

His motivation has also affected the players, who were in great shape in today's training.

Especially Paoluo, he promised that he would not disappoint Wayne again tomorrow!

Some people just enjoy the feeling of being conquered by the strong.

When it was not conquered, it was an unruly little beast, but now it has become a well-behaved little assistant.

And tonight, the Lakers also showed quite good form in the game against the Timberwolves.

Especially Yao Ming, when Odom pulled KG away, allowing Yao Ming to go head-to-head at will in the low position, the chairman was a big killer.

He played 34 minutes today, scoring 26 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks for a big double-double. 10 of 18 shots, the efficiency is also extremely high.

Because Yao Ming was too dazzling, Kobe Bryant paddled appropriately today.

He just hit 5 of 7 shots today, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Shaq: Why didn't you make such an understatement when you were my partner?

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 95-88 and won five consecutive victories!

So far, the Lakers and Trail Blazers have become the only two teams in the West that have not lost until now.

But in the next game, there must be a team's first time that will be broken.

In an interview after the game, Bryant was also asked about tomorrow's game: "You played easily today, are you saving energy for tomorrow?" ”

"No, no, no, it's purely because Yao dominates the audience. He's fantastic, and I've said he can do better. ”

Kobe Bryant smiled on the surface, but in fact, his true thoughts in his heart were: "That's right, I'm just saving my energy for tomorrow!" ”

Yao Ming won't be able to play for so long tomorrow, and if Kobe Bryant doesn't save some physical energy, the game will definitely be very difficult.

You can do anything to beat Wayne's abrasive goblin, but you must be physically ready.

Look at how the drivers of the opening game were squeezed dry, and that was the end.

After returning to the locker room and taking a simple shower, the Lakers players headed for Portland en masse.

The pinnacle showdown in the west will be staged in advance!

※※※

When the Lakers players boarded the plane to Portland, Wayne was still practicing his three-point shot with Tucker and Otlo in the Rose Garden training hall.

In this era, three-point shooting at power forwards is not the mainstream, but it seems that those like Outlaw and Tucker are not good at three-point shooting.

Height is not good, you have to find an advantage from other places.

Tucker, in particular, when he said he played power forward on the first day he came to report, everyone thought the kid was joking.

Playing a power forward at less than 2 meters, are you as good as Barkley?

Wayne also suggested that Tucker develop his three-point shooting ability, and while your specialty is good defense, offense doesn't mean you can give up completely.

In college, you can still shoot a few shots on your body, but in the NBA it doesn't work at all

And the skills are not pressing, and after practicing three points, you can also swing to the No. 3 position in the future.

Well, Tucker in the original history probably thought the same way, who knows that he didn't swing to the third position, but reversed to the fifth position......

So, Tucker, Outlaw and Wayne formed such a three-point practice group.

When one person shoots, the other two help pick up the ball, and it's time to rest.

By repeating the cycle, everyone gets the best shooting experience.

Today, Tucker had a good hand, scoring 72 of 100 open spots.

Of course, such a hit rate is completely not enough to use directly in the game.

You don't see that Outlaw can score about 80 in 100 shots, but now the actual three-point shooting is not very stable.

Shooting seems to be the most basic and simplest, but it really takes time to practice it.

Even if you spend time, you may not be able to practice.

After another sweaty night, Tucker gasped and looked at the basketballs scattered all over the floor.

"I feel so nervous......"

"Nervous? Why? Wayne drank his water and glanced at Tucker.

"Aren't you nervous about playing in front of so many people? Moreover, the opponent is still so strong. ”

Also, as a first-year rookie, where has Tucker seen this battle.

"What are you nervous about, anyway, when you get on the pitch, no matter how many people watch, this game is a matter of those 10 people on the field. Be ready, Tucker, in case you get a chance to play tomorrow......"

At this point, Wayne's voice stopped abruptly.

Because at this time, Wayne's mission system suddenly reacted.

Before the Lakers, Wayne was given a new assignment that rewarded Wayne with a straight dumbfounder.

"Mission: Show off in the world's most watched game!

Mission Goal: Win tomorrow's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Reward: Quadruple Growth Points. ”

Fourfold...... Fourfold......

Originally, if I played the Lakers tomorrow, I would definitely give a lot of growth points.

This Nima still has a quadruple growth point......

I'm so smashed!

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the condition for completing the mission was to win the game, Wayne might have really wanted to try what it was like to be a cancer.

But since you have to win to complete the mission, you can't mess around.

To put it simply, tomorrow's game is not just about winning, it's about having beautiful stats.

After all, the better the data, the more you can grow.

"Wayne, what did you just say?" Tucker stared at Wayne curiously, and he was silent in the middle of speaking.

"Huh? Oh, I just said...... If you don't have a chance tomorrow, pass it to me! ”

Wayne flickered shamelessly.

Tomorrow's game, no one wants to stop me from taking data like crazy!

The next day, three hours before the start of the game, CCTV began to broadcast the game live.

Yes, in China, it's still the early hours of the morning, but there are already countless fans waiting excitedly in front of the TV.

Since today is not the weekend, it is estimated that many school teachers will receive leave calls such as "diarrhea".

Outside the Rose Garden Arena, Director Zhang began interviewing local fans at random.

Because it was a live broadcast, there was no simultaneous translation, and most Chinese fans couldn't understand what American fans on the other side of the ocean were saying.

But...... They're excited anyway!

Later, Director Zhang and the photography team took everyone to the Rose Garden Arena to find out.

This is the first time many Chinese fans have seen the interior of an NBA arena in such detail.

There was still half an hour before the start of the game, and the camera was cut back to the studio, where Yu Jia and Su Junyang were the two commentators for today's game.

"So today, the prize we're giving away is Wayne's Trail Blazers black No. 99 jersey,

Send SMS A or B to select the team you support. A represents the home team, B represents the away team, and mobile phone users from all over the country send it to the 10669999185, and one spectator will receive a rare jersey for each session! ”

After the familiar opening remarks, the picture is everything, and the starters of both sides are ready to play!

Before the start of the match, Wayne and his sister-in-law opened with a boxing hug as usual.

Afterwards, Wayne and Yao Ming shook hands, and both of them held a basketball to the camera at the same time, which will be a scene that will go down in history.

In the end, Bryant also hugged Wayne.

Of course, the expression of this number 24 is quite serious.

"You know you're not going to win today, right?" Bryant muttered in Wayne's ear.

"Hey, be careful when you speak, and don't forget whose territory this is."

"I'm here to smash your turf."

"It depends on whether I say yes or not."

After exchanging harsh words, Wayne and Bryant separated.

Before the start of the game, Phil. Jackson has made it clear: "Yao won't play more than 30 minutes today. ”

The Zen master certainly knows how popular this game is and how much it is valued by the league.

But he still decided to focus on the big picture.

For coaches, their number one goal is not to satisfy the fans, but to win the championship!

In the long run, he would rather let Yao Ming rest than risk him to fight to the death at the risk of injury.

So, Kobe Bryant has to shoulder a bigger responsibility today.

The starting five of the Lakers are Fisher, Kobe, and Luke. Wharton, Odangdang, and Yao Ming.

Also sitting on the bench were Bynum, Ariza, Vujacic and Jordan. Famar et al.

It's already a bit of a taste of the two-consecutive championship period in the original history.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming won the ball.

Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and immediately handed it to Bryant.

Bryant confronts Anthony. Parker, after the triple threat, accelerated to break through and went straight to the penalty area.

Parker is still a little embarrassed against a top scorer like Kobe.

Seeing this, Yao Ming hurriedly pulled to the middle distance to make room for Kobe.

The sister-in-law came to make up for the defense, but Kobe Bryant jumped up quickly, brushed past his sister-in-law, and completed the dunk.

Visually, this is equivalent to a slap in the face!

As soon as he came up, Kobe Bryant played like a rainbow!

Seeing that Kobe and sister-in-law, the most loving combination in the original history, are now killing each other, Wayne is a little unaccustomed to it.

"Nice dunk, he almost dunked the ball past Gasol. As soon as Kobe Bryant came up, he gave them a dismount at the Trail Blazers' home court! ”

As soon as it came up, Kobe Bryant pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"You're going to lose today, Wei, you're definitely going to lose!"

Once inside, Bryant started chattering.

In addition to 48 minutes of physical fitness, trash talk is also 48 minutes.

Wayne suddenly came to his senses.

This kind of game, I haven't played it for a long time!

There's trash talk, there's confrontation, and there's a quadruple growth point.

I'm so excited!

At this time, seeing Paul holding the ball across the half court, the green hat lifted his trouser leg seriously.

Seeing this action, Wayne was immediately relieved.
