On the evening of May 19, 2009, Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles was crowded with people.

As the heart of one of the most prosperous cities in the world, the flow of people here has always been very, very fierce.

But compared with the usual flow of people, the current flow of people like mountains and seas has more and more fanaticism!

There is only one destination for these frenetic crowds from all directions, and that is the rotunda not far away, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Staples Arena!

After the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers came out, the matchup between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, and the showdown between Yees and Kobe Bryant became the biggest topic in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are the darlings of Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant is the darling of Los Angeles, and Yes is also the darling of Los Angeles!

Yes became famous in the NCAA's P-10 League, the core area of the NCAA's P-10 League is California, which is Los Angeles, and the P-10 League finals are played in Los Angeles in Staples almost every year.

Coupled with the fact that Los Angeles is a city with a very, very large number of Chinese and Asian Americans, it can be said that Los Angeles is definitely the base camp of the three major coconut noodles after Seattle, New York and Phoenix!

There are many basketball and NBA-related stores around Staples Arena, and when there is a Lakers game, they like to do some activities, such as how many points Kobe Bryant has scored, how much discount the store will give, such as how many points the Lakers have scored, what will be given away in the store, and so on.

This is when the Lakers play against other teams.

But after the Lakers vs. SuperSonics series, the activity around these storefronts around Staples is completely different than ever.

Many reporters from China have found that the activities around Staples, whether they are related to basketball and the NBA, or those that are not, such as restaurants and hotels, are no longer just the Lakers.

In addition to this, there are tons of hypersonic related activities!

For example, Yes will discount whatever data he gets in the game, such as what gifts he gives when SuperSonics wins the game or how many points he scores, etc.

According to the statistics of these reporters from China and all over the world, it was finally amazing to find that the merchants on the supersonic side of the team and the merchants on the side of the Los Angeles Lakers are almost five or five!

It's the same as the probability of these two teams being promoted, as predicted by media experts!

It's unbelievably close!

"It's hard to imagine that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics meet in the playoffs, it's such a picture!"

Looking at the fans outside Staples Arena singing and dancing in Yes supersonic jerseys and Lakers Kobe Bryant jerseys, many of them are friends, or even simply family!

This scene really stunned Wang Han and many reporters from all over the world.

In fact, many reporters in Los Angeles didn't think of it either.

Although in the regular season, every time the Lakers face off against the SuperSonics, there is a lot of coconut powder next to Staples.

But there is no difference between on and off the field.

There are many fans in the stadium who come from all over the world, just to watch such a game, as long as they can afford it, 10,000 rich coconut fans can suppress the number of fans in the Lakers.

But off the field, this is the time to really fight for the city's influence!

There are tens of thousands of fans gathered outside Staples now!

The flow of people from all directions is endless, as if the whole of Los Angeles has been dispatched!

And from the characteristics of their dress, it is really half open!

"This series, for Los Angeles, is so special, too special!"

This series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers is not just special for Los Angeles.

The same special for Kobe!

This is the first time he and YES have met in the playoffs!

In the past, every time the two played each other in the regular season, he was almost always at a disadvantage.

Don't play those imaginary ones.

Every time he beats Yes, he really feels how awkward he is.

Unless it feels explosive.

Otherwise, whether it feels good or bad, he will be very uncomfortable.

In the past, Kobe Bryant would still be puzzled, when he felt good, Yes defended him very tightly, and when he felt bad, Yes defended him a little looser.

Before, he was really confused.

Now that he knew, Yes must have understood something.

Just as he understands something about what it is now.

So now that I think about it, when he didn't understand it very well, it was right to hit Yes so awkwardly.

Yes, this kid is indeed witty.

It's really bearable.

He has always been undercover, and he has never seen this kid undercover!

It has always been this kid who interferes with his judgment of the sense of hand, and he has never interfered with the judgment of the sense of the hand Yes!

This kid first changed his strategy by judging his hand, not to mention.

He'd cracked it a long time ago.

It doesn't feel good, and he slowly learns to endure it.

Later, this kid learned another trick, which was to give him defensive intensity in front of him.

With such a high defensive intensity, unless he feels explosive, how can he clearly judge that he doesn't score or that the poor hitting rate is due to the feeling or the opponent's defense?

So, in the end, when the game is decided, he needs to gamble.

Whether it feels good or not, he Kobe Bryant is going to take over the game!

If the bet is right, it does feel good, and he is a hero.

There is no bet right, in fact, it feels bad, he is undercover.

It's a pit!

Yes's trick is really, really pitfall!

Every time the Lakers lose, he is undercover, even if he has a big heart, he can't stand it!

As a psychological master, it is really a bit embarrassing to be so pitted by Yes, a third-year NBA young man.

What's more, Phil's look in that guy made him even more unbearable.

That's as if to say, you say I'm not worthy of Yes, I admit it, can you yourself be worthy of Master Romar?

In short, although Yes is a good friend of his, he also admires Yes.

But this kid is really not that authentic!

It's really in the past few years, when he didn't fully understand, he was brought back to life!

Kobe Bryant, who has now fully understood, is still really a little angry when he thinks of this.

Looking at the supersonic nine on the other side of the court who was shooting in the middle circle, Kobe Bryant's face was very excited.

This round of the series is to let Yes know that he Kobe Bryant is still the strongest psychological master!

If you can pit me like this, I can pit you like this!

Anyway, we can't see the feel, let's see if you can bear it, or if I can bear it, see if you have more experience in the game or how experienced I am in the game!

"This series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics is definitely the most star-studded series in NBA history!"

As the live commentator of this game, Kenny Smith and Barkley were both a little under pressure.

There are so many celebrities on the scene.

Although the NBA's on-site commentary is not obliged to introduce the celebrities that the camera is aimed at, when the big screen on the scene has been constantly changing close-ups of people who look like big stars, it will still put a lot of pressure on the on-site commentary.

Barkley and Kenny Smith are actually okay, but they are both Americans.

CCTV's two on-site commentators, Teacher Zhang Lili and Su Skirt, were uncomfortable.

Every time they meet someone they don't know, the two of them will laugh twice and deal with it reasonably, and the scene is quite embarrassing.

There are so many stars in Los Angeles!

This is very unfriendly to foreign commentary.

However, although the embarrassment is embarrassing, the excitement is also really exciting.

Doesn't the more stars there are, the more influence Yes represents?

And there is an honor!

What's more, the performance of Yes and SuperSonics in the playoffs this year has really greatly exceeded their expectations and those of domestic fans.

Western Conference Finals!

Before this year's playoffs began, who would have thought that Yes would make it to the Western Conference Finals?

In China, many experts say that this year's NBA playoffs are the year of Waterloo for Chinese players!

As it turned out, they were indeed mistaken in their eyes.

There is no Yao Ming in this year's playoffs.

But the few remaining Chinese players did well.

Sun Yue is not so brilliant in the Wizards, but he still entered the second round attached to Arenas, and compared with other Wizards' pits, as a point guard who defends and cooperates with Arenas, Sun Yue is not so pitiful, and even looks like the most reliable assistant next to Arenas.

Of course, Sun Yue seems to be the most reliable assistant in the Wizards, and Arenas is really pitiful.

There is also Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian, as the tactical core of the Timberwolves, almost overturned the Haoqiang Nuggets, and it was also an overfulfilled task for Yi Jianlian, who played in the playoffs for the first time.

There are also Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, although the performance is not much, but following Rose also makes the Celtics break out in a cold sweat.

Ye Si is even more needless to say, all the way to the next gram, all the way to the miracle!

It can be said that no matter what the outcome of the final series is, the performance of Ye Si and the Chinese players in the environment where Yao Ming unexpectedly did not make the playoffs is really enough to make them proud and proud.

What's more, this round and the Lakers' series are completely different from the previous two rounds of the series, this is a real chance!

Five-five open!

The probability of Ye Si and the supersonic advance has reached fifty percent!

And that's when Durant's status is unknown.

What if Durant hadn't really fallen and his form had returned? Is the chance of victory for the supersonic more than fifty percent?

Of course, Durant may also really fall, and after encountering a stronger defense than the Mavericks, he played worse than the games against the Mavericks, and the SuperSonics victory may be less than five percent.

In short, this round and the Lakers series are all series with a chance.

It's a series they can dream of beating the Lakers and reaching the Finals again!

Therefore, before the start of this series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the domestic media and fans were really excited.

After defeating the two strong opponents of the Spurs and the Mavericks, the SuperSonics really met an opponent who was almost the best!

It's not the Nuggets, it's the Timberwolves, it's the Lakers!

"Yes and Kobe are one of the three joint regular season MVPs in the NBA this year, and now both Yes and Kobe are likely to be the biggest winners in the NBA this year."

Of course, O'Neal on the other side also has a lot of opportunities, and now many media around the world are expecting one of the three to become this year's regular season MVP, All-Star MVP and Finals MVP Grand Slam, but in an interview, both Yees and Kobe Bryant said they hadn't thought about it.

"It's a very, very tough matchup for both of them."

"It's reasonable, this series, against Yes and Kobe, against the SuperSonics and the Lakers, it's difficult, the two teams are all too familiar."

Zhang Lizhi nodded after Su Skirt finished speaking.

The Lakers and SuperSonics are close in this series, that's the consensus.

The consensus of the world.

Only such a fierce competition can create such a tense atmosphere!

What a chance for the finals!

Even if this opportunity for the finals is just a chance to visit the finals and be abused by the Heat, it is also a chance for the finals!

Therefore, many professionals on the sidelines, such as Westbrook and Nick Young Jordan, can clearly see that the players of both teams on the court who are warming up are a little nervous.

"Bang bang

Little Jordan complained disdainfully.

“……”

The turtle boy on the side was speechless.

I don't speak.

Write it down in a small notebook.

"But it's good to be so familiar, the two teams don't have to test their opponents in the previous games, they can go straight to work."

Nick Young, who likes to start without saying a word, has his own expectations for this game.

Although the series between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks was exciting, both teams were testing in the first three games.

It wasn't until the fourth game that the master and Nowitzki really got to work.

In this round of the series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Master and Kobe Bryant must be coming for real as soon as they come up!

When the time comes, Master and Kobe Bryant, this round of the series will have to be at least four real games, right?

The Lakers and SuperSonics will be close in this series, which is what many people predicted before the game.

The two teams will go all out as soon as they come up in this series, which is another prediction of these people before the game.

The Lakers and the SuperSonics are familiar with each other, and the two teams don't have to hide or hide, they don't have to think so much, just roll up their sleeves and get started.

It looks like it's friendly to the managers of both teams.

Actually, Phil Jackson is in a state of distress right now!

He actually really doesn't like this kind of open-card duel.

After all, he still likes to play psychological warfare.

But after taking a spin on the Lakers players on the court, and a spin on the supersonic players, he found that he really didn't have any psychological warfare to play.

Whether it's the tactical style of play or the [new] alignment of the players, the two teams know each other well.

For example, Yes and the supersonic tactical system is the pot throwing system, and in Yes's pot throwing system, Yes's jumping and passing, this is Kobe's housekeeping skill!

Another example is that the tactical system played by the Lakers and Kobe Bryant is the triangle offense, which is considered by many people to be a metaphysical tactical system, Yes is precisely one of the few players in the NBA who understands it, and even seems to play better than Kobe!

How else can people get it?

That's why he's been very, very stressed lately.

This series is really not kind to him and the Lakers!

Yes knows his tactical system inside and out. 、

SuperSonics, these young players after being trained by Nowitzki, give people a very dangerous feeling.

If it weren't for this series between the Mavericks and the SuperSonics, he would be willing to believe that the SuperSonics and the Lakers would be five or five open.

But the changes made by Nowitzki and Mavericks to supersonic speed are unknown, but no matter how big the change is, it is impossible to open five or five!

Say it and probably no one will believe it.

In his opinion, the Lakers, who seem to be stronger, are likely to be the weaker side in this series!

Of course, he can only think about this in his own heart.

If you really want to say it, the first person to spray him is none other than Kobe.

"Sure enough, Master Romar is reliable, some people just like to rely on the strong and bully, and these people will never reach the realm of Master Romar with Curry, Thompson, Green, Thomas Spencer Jr., and other not so good players to win the championship."

"Relying on the strong to bully the weak is not the ability, but the weak to bully the strong is the ability!"

Even he can imagine what kind of tone and what kind of words Kobe Bryant will use to complain about him at that time.

Everyone is a master of psychology, can there be such a prediction?

Kobe Bryant, this kid has really been getting more and more overheated lately.

However, he was really convinced by Master Romar.

Bullying the strong with the weak, it is really strong, with those crooked melons and cracked dates to win all the NCAA games, at least 20 points per game, it is simply unreasonable.

Just like Kobe Bryant is also convinced of Yes.

So no matter how much he tried to say yes, Kobe Bryant only fought back with Master Romar and never really got angry.

“Yes……”

Phil Jackson looked at the supersonic nine on the court who stood with Kobe Bryant with a look of fascination.

And at this time, a sudden uproar at Staples Arena interrupted Phil Jackson's infatuation.

When Phil Jackson came back to his senses, he saw Kobe Bryant next to Yes also looking at the big screen with a look of fascination.

Phil Jackson looked at the big screen, and Phil Jackson was surprised by the figure of this attribute that caused an uproar on the whole scene.

"Lorenzo Romar!"

Master Romar!

There are so many stars on the scene who can't snatch the slightest starlight from Yes and Kobe, and only the appearance of Master Romar can take away some of Yes and Kobe's starlight!

"Master Romar is here too?!"

Kobe, who was originally excited, was even more excited!

Ye Si glanced at the big screen and stopped paying attention.

On the big screen, being watched like this made Romar a little uncomfortable.

That's why he rarely attends such public occasions.

Seriously, he's a humble guy.

This location......

Nima's is too tall!

He's afraid of heights!

I really can't come this time.

As the first head coach of the P-10 League, the P-10 League has a Yes game at home, can he not play?

Lorenzo Romar's appearance was an episode that made the already star-studded Staples even more star-studded tonight.

However, tonight's protagonists are still Hyes and Kobe Bryant on the court, the Lakers and the SuperSonics.

The Seattle SuperSonics start tonight with center Milicic, power forward Millsap, small forward Durant, shooting guard Yes and playmaking guard Rondo.

On the Lakers' side, it is center Bynum, power forward Randolph, small forward Artest, scoring guard Kobe, and organizational guard Kidd.

Before the game, many predicted that the SuperSonics' starters might replace Durant with Ibaka.

The reason is that Durant's status is unknown, and in the face of the Lakers, the NBA's No. 1 forward, Durant may not even be able to shoot 35% against the Mavericks.

Durant has an advantage in single defense compared to Ibaka, but defending Artest is not defending Novitzki and the outside of the Mavericks, and the advantage of single defense is not so important.

In addition to being inferior to Durant in terms of single defense, Ibaka is better than Durant in terms of offensive state and ball possession, and is more suitable for starting with the Lakers.

That's what many media experts predict.

However, in the end, the SuperSonics started with Durant.

And Durant is the biggest unknown point of this series!

Of course, most of them are not favorable, and if the Mavericks' forward defense is the weakest of the strong teams, then the Lakers' forward defense is definitely one of the strongest in the league.

When the starting lineups of both teams stood on the court, Durant, who started 'unexpectedly', was the focus.

When the game officially started and Milicic beat Bynum to get the first wave of the game for the SuperSonics, the focus on the court shifted from Durant to Yes.

To be precise, it should have been transferred to Yes and Kobe!

Kobe Bryant seemed to have expected Bynum to fail to jump the ball, and almost hugged Yes the moment Rondo received the ball!

"As soon as the game began, Bryant showed the world his defensive attitude in this game!"

"Kobe Bryant knows that he can't defend Yes's off-ball one-on-one, and he has Artest and Kidd by his side to help defend at any time!"

On the pitch, Rondo, who was dribbling the ball, was very upset.

Kidd, this old boy, looks down on people too much.

Your counterpart is me, so far away from me, eyes on Yes dry hair!

The Lakers' defense is really disgusting.

He and Yes' fast break couldn't be launched at all.

Yes It's okay to get rid of Kobe, but there's no way to bring two with you.

Get rid of Kobe Bryant, Artest and Kidd will make up at any time.

The defensive skills of these two are outstanding.

The average team simply can't do the same defense as the Lakers.

However, SuperSonics are also familiar with the Lakers' strategy of defending Yes.

Isn't it just that Yes fast attack is not allowed, and supersonic fast attack is not allowed?

Isn't it just forcing Yes to sit in the position and play Kobe Bryant or Artest?

It's not like I haven't fought!

Rondo put the ball in Yes's hands after halftime, ready to watch how Yes played Kobe Bryant, just like the rest of the world's watchful spectators.

But......

"Kobe Bryant's move is a bit big tonight?"

"Kobe Bryant is testing the scale of the referee!"

"Crawford didn't blow!"

Seeing Kobe Bryant, who was almost completely pressed on Yes on the court, Rondo frowned.

"Shoot!"

"Just test your feel with such defensive intensity!"

"You used to play mine, and I'm going to get it all back in this series!"

"Yes, I will teach you well in this game, what is psychological warfare, what is experience, and what is a veteran!"

Kobe's fierce eyes conveyed a bit of a lot of information.

It's just that at this time, Kobe, who was extremely excited, was instantly stunned.

Horizontal, horizontal......

Yes didn't test the touch, and directly passed the ball to Durant next to him?!
