The Staples Center, originally located in Los Angeles, has always been one of the most attended arenas, and it's even more packed when playing a strong team like the Heat.

Chen Yu's career started with the Lakers, and it is actually the dream of many players.

After all, over the years, small cities have been very unable to retain people, and they have almost no other attraction except salary, but in big cities like Los Angeles, there is exposure and popularity, Chen Yu is now one of the most famous players in the NBA, and some people even feel that his current popularity and popularity can resist Durant, or even surpass some, in addition to his own performance, a large part of the reason is that he is in a star-studded place like Los Angeles.

And today, the game between the Heat and the Lakers is not just about Los Angeles, in fact, this attention has reached the whole world.

After all, now Chen Yu and James are the two popular kings in the NBA, and James naturally needless to say, he has maintained his competitiveness in the league for more than ten years, and the Heat is also the most powerful contender for the current championship. And Chen Yu has risen to prominence and is now one of the most well-known players in the league.

Although Chen Yu and James are only nodding friends, nodding friends are also friendships, and James and they are all human spirits, and interpersonal communication is handled properly and organized.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, James sent a text message to Chen Yu and said that he wanted to eat together or something, and Chen Yu naturally greeted him.

But eating and the like, the two are just talking verbally.

Before the start of the match, both sides were interviewed by reporters.

However, when the two answered the reporter's question if they had confidence, they were very official routines:

"Leave it all to the basketball!" Almost all of them meant that.

The reporters were bored, but the conversation itself was enough to make the atmosphere stronger, so there was a lot of needless to say.

Today is also a nationally broadcast game, and the live commentators are the more well-known Kevin Harlan and Van Gundy.

These two did not have the old routine of verbally confronting each other and supporting each other for a team today, but both of them are feeling that today's team match is really too exciting.

"Whether it's James and Chen Yu, or the Heat and the Lakers." Harlan said: "It's full of uncertainties, if you think that the Lakers only have Chen Yu and can't win at all, then I think you're wrong, in fact, the Lakers' winning rate of playing a strong team this season is not bad!" They also beat the Clippers before. ”

"Yes, but as you know, the Heat are the defending champions, this is still the strongest team in the league, any team will feel a head down in front of them, and, more like an individual team than the Heat, you know, this season Pau Gasol has degenerated into a center who rarely attacks on his own, and a lot of scoring comes from Chen Yu's passes!"

"That's the problem with individual teams! The Lakers can't tolerate a second independent offensive player, and a lot of the ball is concentrated in Chen Yu's hands, but they can still win so far! It's hard to say what's best, let alone what's best. The Heat are similar, everyone is making a certain cooperation for LeBron. ”

"So that's why this game is going to be so good now, if nothing else, we can see a lot of heads-up games that revert to the game ten years ago, all my friends, I just want to say one thing to you now - enjoy the game!"

…… The Heat's lineup for today is:

Morris, Ray Allen, James, Haslem, Bosh.

The Lakers' lineup is:

Chen Yu, Meeks, Hill, Gasol, Carman.

Both sides are considered a regular configuration.

And from this lineup, of course, the Heat wants to complete the Lakers, but it's hard to say what the specific situation is.

After the game officially started, the first jump ball Heat won, James forced a breakout, and the basketball passed to Ray Allen on the outside, Ray Allen felt very good today, and the opening was a three-point shot!

3-0！

Chen Yu was a little dissatisfied, today's defensive tactics have been arranged, that is, to cut off the connection between James and others, I didn't expect this first ball to be slapped in the face like this.

Seeing that Chen Yu was unhappy, everyone hurriedly said with their eyes or directly with words that they must defend their next ball.

In the rematch, Chen Yu controlled the ball over half the court, Morris came up to defend, and then Ray Allen also had a tendency to pinch and attack.

Sure enough, when Chen Yu forcibly broke through Morris, Ray Allen had already come over to attack!

Then, as long as Chen Yu wanted to pass the ball, he found the targeted defense of the two people, Ray Allen was only an auxiliary role, and he didn't really come up to attack, but he would always interfere with Chen Yu's passing on the side, including James, who would also come up at critical moments.

Chen Yu had a ridiculous feeling in his heart: Today, the Lakers and the Heat both chose the same set of tactics, and the Heat team also wanted to cut off Chen Yu's connection with his teammates, and then force him to force a single in the face of a double bag.

Isn't that why we want to go together?

But this is also something that everyone thinks clearly: this is what the Spurs did before, and they won, Ray Allen Morris's defense is okay, if it becomes James and Chen Yu take turns to go head-to-head with the team, in the end, everyone's subconscious will still think that James is a better offensive player.

After all, the height is there, and James has been famous for many years, in the end, no one has been afraid.

Chen Yu understood the general defensive strategy of the Heat's side, and the ball returned to the outside of the three-point line, and Ray Allen did not follow up with the bag.

Chen Yu is not polite, in the face of Morris's height of 85 meters, a dribble under the crotch changed direction, and directly pulled to the other side, which was directly a three-point shot!

"Huh!"

Basketball hits!

3-3 start!

"I have to say that Chen Yu's three-point shot is already the most iconic player action in this league." Harlan said: "And other people's three-point shots are very difficult, you have to find space, you have to be in the right place at the right time, but Chen Yu can shoot three points at any time, even if there are many defenders in front of him, he can still shoot three points!" ”

"This is also one of the reasons why Chen Yu is so popular, when you meet a player who subverts the traditional concept of basketball, you have to be attracted to him and become his fan!" Van Gundy sighed too.

At this moment, the Heat team also feels a little tricky, and today's game is really not easy to play!

James also glanced at Chen Yu, and he also felt that the Lakers were eager to win today.
