Di Di Di ......
Suddenly, the long-lost ##超级巨星系统##再次响了起来.
The system publishes the fourth mission.
##任务内容: Make Zen Master remember you forever in back-to-back games against the Lakers on October 17.
##任务奖励: Reward 3 player stat points + a piece of good luck.
Pls do you want to accept the assignment.
"It's hard, but it's exactly what I want!"
Ye Feng accepted the task without hesitation, so much so that he didn't even look at the task reward carefully, and didn't notice that the reward had changed.
That night, the Cavaliers assembled as a team, boarded a bus to the airport, and flew to Los Angeles.
The three of them also set off with the team, after all, there was an arrangement by the big boss Gooden Gander.
In the early hours of the morning, the Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles and checked into the hotel.
Here, they will face the Lakers and Clippers one after another.
Coach Paul has given a strict order that everyone must rest well, be good for the evening game, and not be allowed to leave without permission.
8 p.m., Spoytais Basketball Arena.
In a sea of purple gold, players from both sides played.
Here, Ye Feng really felt the breath of the big city and the prosperous ball market of the dynasty team.
In the entire NBA league, there are two teams that are considered to dominate half of the country.
The Celtics in the East and the Lakers in the West.
As of 2003, the Lakers had won the Western Conference 27 times and the NBA 14 times.
The 14 championship flags fly high, telling the story of the Lakers' deep history.
On the other side, there are countless retired jerseys.
The No. 13 jersey belonging to the "100-point maniac" Chamberlain, the No. 22 jersey belonging to "Baylor Lord" Baylor, the No. 32 jersey belonging to "Magic" Johnson, the No. 33 jersey belonging to "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar, and the No. 44 jersey belonging to "Mr. Key" West......
Each and every one of them is a player with a great reputation, a player who can occupy a place in history.
In the entire NBA, only the Celtics and Lakers can put out such a luxurious historical lineup.
Playing here, everyone will stay with a yearning for basketball and the pursuit of honor.
Not only Ye Feng, James also looked at the championship flags all over the wall and was speechless for a long time.
But the game still has to begin.
Paul fielded the regular lineup: Ilgoskas, Boozer, James, Davis, McGinnis.
On the Lakers' side, because of Kobe's absence, there is still a two-point guard lineup: O'Neal, Malone, George, Payton, and Fisher.
Honk~
The game begins, and the center forwards on both sides jump the ball!
O'Neal relied on a terrifying bounce that was completely out of proportion to his weight to defeat Big Z, and the Lakers gained the offensive rights of the first round.
Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to the Payton organization.
"Gary (Payton), give me the ball, I'm going to blow the Cavaliers out in the first quarter! Damn Phil, a preseason game, why do you want me to help? ”
O'Neilca is in the main position and starts to ask for the ball directly.
His plan today was to blow up the Cavaliers in the first quarter and then never play again.
Payton shook his head helplessly, but still passed the ball in.
Because no matter how angry Big Z was with O'Neill's contemptuous words, Big Z couldn't prevent O'Neal.
The weight difference of 118 kg to 147 kg, 60 kg, is not something that can be made up by courage and enthusiasm or anger.
And O'Neal can become the most dominant player in the NBA, not only because of height and weight, the second-highest bench press in history, super instant explosiveness, and a vertical bounce of 91 centimeters, but he jumps higher than many guards.
Holding the ball with both hands, O'Neill just leaned lightly behind him, and Big Z was completely squeezed away.
At this time, I saw O'Neal turn around, and then he rose into the air towards the basket, and his hands were directly buckled.
Syllable!
Before James could even reach out and watch O'Neal bomb the basket.
The basketball hoop shook violently, and it was about to fall down at some point.
James' dunk is violent enough, but compared to O'Neal, it is not in the flow.
After all, the man who smashed the glass plate of the basketball hoop three times forced the league to strengthen the hardness of the rebound again and again.
2:0。
The Los Angeles fans cheered, but not too excitedly, because dunks like O'Neal's are a regular weapon that happens many times every night.
The Lakers took the lead, and the Cavaliers began to attack.
McGinnis dribbled across the half-court, looked at Davis, who was pestered by Payton, and finally chose to give the ball to James.
George pressed up in an instant, and for this champion show, George already knew how powerful he was.
James didn't take George seriously, the key was that after George, after breaking into the penalty area, he had to face the double blocks of Malone and O'Neal, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
However, James is not a person who will back down, and with a little preparation, James used his body to outforce George and hit the paint area.
But at this moment, Malone had already made up for the defense and blocked James's breakthrough line.
James' eyes lit up and he passed the ball to Boozer, who was in the open space.
"Don't think!"
But Malone didn't give up, let out a low roar, and turned back to defend Boozer again.
"Postman" Malone, this is his 19th season, and he himself is almost 40 years old, but this defensive attitude deserves everyone's admiration.
Although the veteran is old, he does not accept the old!
It's a pity that his footsteps are not as good as they were back then. Before he could get back into place, Boozer had already made a move.
Bang!
Unfortunately, Boozer's mid-range shot was deflected and the basket popped up, which was collected by O'Neal.
If you don't shoot, it's nothing, but Ye Feng frowned, he obviously felt that Boozer's shot was a little anxious, and he seemed to be afraid of Ma Long's defense.
Previously, on the defensive end, Boozer seemed to be subconsciously avoiding the physical confrontation with Malone.
The Lakers' offense is still the same old routine, passing into the interior and handing it to O'Neal.
This time Boozer made up the defense.
O'Neill didn't go hard and passed to Malone in the open space.
Malone took advantage of the situation to hit the board, and the ball went in.
4:0。
The Cavaliers attacked, and James broke through and did it himself, but unfortunately he didn't score under O'Neal's interference.
In turn, the Lakers' offense, O'Neal forced the attack to attract the bag and pass to the outside, Payton took a step inside the three-point line and hit a mid-range jumper.
6:0。
At the beginning, the three veterans of the Lakers played one after another, scoring three goals in a row, and directly hit a wave of small climaxes.
And the Cavaliers' offense is not going well, with O'Neal and Malone guarding the restricted area, the ability to protect the basket is too strong, and the Cavaliers' interior offense can't be opened at all.
Paul couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
Chris Mime replaces Ilgoskas, which is also a helpless choice, Mime's ability is not as good as Big Z, but the tonnage is superior, the strength is better, and the opponent O'Neill is not so disadvantaged.
And with Ilgoskas on the floor, being eaten alone by O'Neal again and again, or passing after attracting the bag, the Cavaliers will only go further and further.
So, you can only change to memes.
"James, Davis, McGinnis, you have to be aggressive, run more, we have to open up on the perimeter. Only when the perimeter is opened can the Lakers' defense be pulled apart, and the interior line will have a chance. ”
Paul also discovered that the efficiency of attacking the interior line with O'Neal and Malone was really miserable.
"McGinnis, shoot aggressively, Fisher on the other side is 6 centimeters shorter than you, he can't guard you."
McGinnis made a good three-pointer last time, and Paul hopes he can be hot today and open up the Lakers' defense.
Honk~
The timeout ends and the game continues.
