Chapter 78, Los Angeles Lakers!!
November 10th.
The Trail Blazers visit Staples Center to challenge the Lakers.
For the first time, Xue Ding set foot on this holy place in his previous life as a "lake honey".
The Lakers started with a 6-2 record and are closely tied to the Trail Blazers.
If they kill the Trail Blazers tonight, they will overtake the rankings, so the Lakers are barely ready to test the No. 1 spot in the West.
Although the Trail Blazers are now understaffed, their morale is extremely high, and even the injured Oden is confident that the Trail Blazers can take out the Lakers and the defending champions.
In the West, almost every team takes pride in beating the Lakers.
Every player wants to show their talent in Los Angeles.
For this battle between the top leaders in the western region, TNT and CCTV have broadcast live nationally in China and the United States.
"Charles, who do you think will win tonight's matchup between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers?"
"Kenny, I think the Lakers will have an absolute advantage in this game!"
"Oh, how do you say?"
"The Trail Blazers' lineup is not complete, they are not all the strength, and the interior line will still be blown up by the Lakers' interior line, Roy does not have much advantage over Kobe, and Xue will be very limited against the experienced Fisher, and then they are still back-to-back away. So I think the probability of the Lakers winning is 8 out of 10. ”
Charles Barkley spoke in a firm tone, and what he said was indeed the outside world's opinion of the game.
The pre-game media hype in Los Angeles has warmed up the game.
Whether it is the duel between Huang Mamba and Black Mamba, or the news that Xue Ding's number of shots occupies the first place in the team, it has been stirred up again and again.
Among them, the fans and the media have a lot of controversy about who the template looks like for Xue Ding.
On the one hand, he thinks that this guy's love for basketball is more important than anything else, and he is a court paranoid like Kobe.
On the other hand, it is believed that Xue Ding's style of play is extremely similar to James.
The two sides are at odds again.
When a reporter from the Los Angeles Times specially interviewed Xue Ding, he asked, "Xue, do you think you are like Kobe or James?" ”
Xue Ding replied disdainfully: "I'm like Xue Ding." ”
No matter how strong the opponent is, Xue Ding will not think that he is worse than the opponent, like what does it mean?
Look down on me?
I am who I am.
The reporter saw that Xue Ding was not in the trap, and immediately said: "Then do you like to watch James play some ball, or do you like to watch Kobe Bryant play some more?" ”
Xue Ding replied: "Kobe! ”
Wei Shao is close to his age, Xue Ding is embarrassed to say that Wei Shao, and the current performance of the Divine Turtle is not as good as himself.
The reporter immediately nodded and silently wrote it down, it seems that he is another Kobe Bryant's little fan brother.
Today coincides with the weekend, and the Staples Arena has seen many celebrity families come to watch the game with their families.
Stallone's family, Beckham, Xiao Lizi and his model girlfriend..., Xue Ding even saw Jet Li, and when he was warming up, Xue Ding also went over to say hello to Jet Li.
As one of the few two big teams in the NBA, the Lakers are aiming to defend their title this season.
After the appearance ceremony, as soon as he stood on the field, Xue Ding felt a pressure.
Before the game, Xue Ding also saw Kobe Bryant, who trained very hard.
I have to say that Na is very handsome, which is in line with the aesthetics of Orientals.
The appearance is handsome, and the shooting posture is also picturesque in the familiar before.
It's just that hit rate.
"Box!"
"Box!"
"Box!"
"Huh"
Or 1-of-4?
It seems that today's chatter feels average.
...........
Judging from the opponent's situation, Xue Ding knows very well that the current Lakers are the top team in the league!
Their interior height is unattainable for other teams.
The wise saying "those who get the inside line win the world" is not outdated in this era.
Last season, the Celtics, who lacked Garnett, and the Cavaliers, who were weak on the inside, both fell in front of the Magic interior line built by the Monsters, which shows the support role of the interior line for the team.
Usually a high-quality interior line is enough to make people scared, and the Trail Blazers chose Oden over Durant for this reason.
Comparison of the interior combination, the Lakers not only have the young and strong potential superstar Andrew Bynum, but also Paul Gasol, who has just led Spain to win the European Men's Basketball Championship and has the potential to surpass Yao Ming to become the first center in FIBA, the sturdy beast and the slender Odom can also get a piece of the pie on the inside, and then equipped with Powell and Mbenga two low-paid and efficient blue-collar players, the Lakers have twin towers to sit in the main force, and blue-collar workers as substitutes, and the interior is perfectly equipped, even if the Trail Blazers have Oden, And they look up to it.
Not to mention that there is no one now.
Kobe Bryant has reached the top of his game and is still moving forward, and there are very few people in the NBA who can stand at the top of the basketball world, and Kobe Bryant has proven himself to be one of the best players in the game over the past 13 years.
A player as aggressive as Kobe Bryant is even more valuable, as O'Neal said: "I think what impressed me the most about Kobe was that I haven't seen a player as competitive as him in my career. I mean he's got a super killer nature, which makes him never run away from key moments in the game, and he never makes excuses for himself. ”
The 31-year-old Kobe Bryant already has four championship rings in his hands, but he still gets up early every day and practices hard, and even goes to Houstown to study the dream dance steps of the big dream to enrich his scoring skills.
Olajuwon even said that Kobe Bryant no longer needs to learn fantasy dance moves, because his original steps are already at the top of the league.
It can be said that Kobe Bryant is the Lakers' biggest advantage, and it is also the object that Trail Blazers boss Roy needs to catch up.
The Lakers' three-core team is full of centripetal force, Kobe Bryant, who can be called the first person in the league, is the well-deserved leader of the Lakers, and the determined and combative Kobe Bryant has become the most leader in the league after 13 years of beating.
However, the value of the Lakers is that the team has two other pillars of military heart, and the trio is more powerful.
The veteran Fisher is a spiritual leader.
In Game 4 of last season's Finals, he helped the Lakers win with two three-pointers, and then Fisher reminded the Lakers' young players in the locker room that they need to guard against arrogance and calm for Game 5.
Although the numbers are not impressive, Fisher's strong heart and unique appeal in the dressing room have made Fisher the team's second leader.
In addition, the Lakers' coach's bench also sits with ten championship rings in his hand, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who is not only good at on-the-spot command, but also has a unique set of adjusting the mentality of players, and is highly respected.
These are the enemies that the Pioneers face!
Xue Ding saw the figures of Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, and Fisher standing opposite the starters, and he also felt a rush of enthusiasm.
I've seen them play too much in my previous life.
Tonight, he's going to fight this champion team.
"Guys, do your best to defeat them!"
As the referee walked to the center circle, Roy said to the group of people gathered around the Blazers.
“OK!” Xue Ding shouted the loudest.
At this time, Roy showed his momentum that he didn't want to lose to the Lakers and didn't want to lose to Kobe!!
Xue Ding is the same.
Sometimes people are just that weird.
You can relax and lose to a bad team, but when you play against strong opponents, you will show your best form.
Facing opponents who are stronger than themselves, everyone wants to defeat them.
