Chapter 19: The Continuation of the Grievance

What is the logo of the Los Angeles Lakers? Last year, they'd tell you that it was still that guy -- Kobe Bryant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info If it were more than ten years ago, some people would say: Shaq O'Neal, and a small number of people would say Kobe. Older fans will say Magic Johnson.

So, what about now? There was no controversy at all, it was none other than this year's No. 2 show, the new darling of Los Angeles, Simon Oliver.

There's so much to tell about this man, and since his introduction to basketball, his impact on the game has been dominant, with indiscriminate ball control and a magician-like mastery of passing.

Innate big-picture and organizational skills, with the height of a power forward but doing the job of a point guard, no matter who comes to defend him, it is a misplaced defense.

Strong physical fitness, so that he can easily score under the basket, starting more than a dozen games, averaging 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, the best among rookies.

Known as Kant James II, he undoubtedly deserves the title, and his performance has been phenomenal, and it has been a long time since a rookie has been able to deliver such average numbers in a dozen games before the start of the season, and he has captured the love of Lakers fans.

There is also a focus of this game, that is, Simon and Wang Weiyu meet again.

In the national finals half a year ago, Wang Weiyu blocked Simon in the finals, causing Kanmen University to pass by the championship, and also made Simon miss the first championship of his basketball career, which is unimaginable for him to be a proud son who has been winning championships since he came into contact with basketball.

Local media in Los Angeles also interviewed Simon on the matter, "Hi Simon, what do you know about the upcoming Kings?" "Of course, I know them well, Carmen is a good leader, we have to be careful, Merris and W are my old rivals, and I'm looking forward to seeing each other again." Simon said simply.

"You missed out on a championship in college, and Merris and W happen to be the core members of Quds University, so this can be considered your second round, are you ready to win?" This reporter is very good at making trouble. Simon also recalled the old days, "Yes, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and tomorrow, the Lakers will win." ”

Simon's words were transmitted to Wang Weiyu by the reporter.

"What do you think of Simon's words?" The reporter asked curiously. Wang Weiyu knew that the reporter wanted to stir up trouble, he didn't mind, Simon was not a fool, since he knew that this was the media's eye-catching hype, he still had to accept it, which showed that this was in line with his heart, and in this case, he didn't need to leave room for anything.

"Simon liked to talk trash in front of the media when he was in college, and the strange thing is that he didn't say anything in the finals, I don't know why, I hope he can talk like he did tomorrow night," Wang said. ”

"You mean, Simon only speaks harshly?" This reporter is too obvious.

Wang Weiyu looked at him with a brain-dead expression, "I didn't say that, please don't misinterpret what I mean." "Okay, thank you W for the interview." The reporter got the information he wanted and withdrew.

Sure enough, as soon as the report broke, the Los Angeles Lakers fans' favorability towards Wang Weiyu instantly dropped below zero, and many people even tweeted that they would burn down his house.

"It's over, W, you're in big trouble." Carmen said. Wang Weiyu put on an indifferent face, "I know that the media in Los Angeles will write very outrageous reports, whatever they are, I will not come forward to clarify, and I will not give interviews again, everything will be solved on the court." ”

"Very good!" Carmen said happily, "I'm relieved that you think so." How can these words be similar to some domestic leaders, Wang Weiyu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

On the night of the game, the players' tunnel.

With their heads down, Carmen suppressed her voice and said, "I told the media before the game that we would end a three-game losing streak here, do you know what that means?" ”

"There is no other way but victory!"

Carmen shouted, "One, two, three! ”

"The Emperor!"

As the Lakers' DJ introduced the names of the Kings players one by one, when Wang Weiyu was introduced, the audience erupted in unanimous boos, and from this roaring boo, you can see how strong the fans' disgust for him is.

"Long time no see, W." Simon greets him like an old friend. Wang Weiyu's eyebrows twitched, "It's not long. "Remember what I said last time?" Simon's eyes showed danger, "I'll get back what little I've lost from you." "And do you remember what I said?" Wang Weiyu stood up straight and said softly: "Accompany me at any time." ”

"Very good." Simon sneered, "Let's pay off the first installment of interest today." "You're still the same as before, living in your own world." Wang Weiyu looked at him funny, "Who said I was going to pay it back?" ”

The rest of the time didn't let the two say more, because the jump ball started immediately, the referee went to the middle, and the ball was still high, Merris won the air supremacy and slapped the ball into Wang Weiyu's hand.

"Good shot." Wang Weiyu calmly dribbled the ball, and Simon decisively pressed up.

Wang Weiyu controlled the ball as he wanted, Simon couldn't threaten him at all, "I have to say, your defense is the same as before, it's rotten!" "What did you say?" Simon ventures into a steal. Wang Weiyu turned around on the spot, flashed his pressing, and closed the ball and shot.

"This is Ultimate Alliance TV, and I'm your best friend, Kenny Smith." "And me, your bosom friend, Charles Barkley." These are two heavyweight commentators. The Kings and Lakers are not playoff teams, but this game was surprisingly broadcast live across the United States.

"We saw W dodge Simon's steal with a turn, this defensive move was too reckless, Simon lost his position, Wang Weiyu closed the ball and made a jumper!"

"Huh!" Hollow in, Wang Weiyu felt that the hand felt excellent, leaving Simon with a back.

Simon didn't know much about Wang Weiyu. Just now I wanted to break the ball from Wang Weiyu's hand, it can be judged that he doesn't know how Wang Weiyu's ball control skills are, and through this ball, he knows.

The opponent is no longer just a good defender, he is also a good attacker.

This made Simon want to suppress Wang Weiyu even more, from both offensive and defensive ends, the defensive end is a little difficult, and the offensive end, he thinks it's no problem.

Simon is widely regarded as a once-in-a-decade talented striker, and he has proven himself worthy of that reputation with his actions. With the ball in a hurry, Wang Weiyu did not lose his position, with the advantage of height, he still found the opportunity of his teammates, and skillfully threw the ball out with his right hand. Defender Lionel received the ball, and Ragren rushed to pounce, but it was still too late, and he hit the ball.

When she first arrived in Los Angeles, Carmen felt discomfort in her ankles. He didn't talk about it, the game was too important and he had to go on the pitch and control the situation.

An ankle injury has greatly limited his play, and Humphrey Gerrard is an excellent two-way defender in the starting lineup, playing as a point guard in the starting lineup, and Carmen was originally weak against Carmen, but now Carmen has a serious ankle injury, which can force Carmen to play hard.

Humphrey's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's eye, and he made the most correct judgment in a matter of seconds, he slapped the ball that Carmen was bent on protecting, successfully stealed, and pushed the Lakers to counterattack, and the atmosphere on the court reached its first climax.

Lionel rushed the fastest, Humphrey passed the ball hard, and the former received the ball, rushed to the Kings' basket and jumped to dunk.

"It's a very wonderful defensive counterattack, the Lakers are very aggressive, I don't know if the Kings can block it." Kenny said. Barkley is a well-known big mouth, and when he saw the Lakers' momentum, he immediately made a prediction, "I think the Lakers can win this game by more than 20 points, or even more." ”

Re-serving, Carmen stepped on his foot a few times in the process of dribbling, so that the pain spread, his ankle was sore and painful, he knew that he could not stop, once stopped, the pain would be several times greater.

Merris was about to get into the position, and Carmen could no longer concentrate on the organization, so he went straight to the ball at the moment.

Newman Turner is the starting center of the Lakers, 2.20 meters tall, and was once a man of the hour, but then fell like a spark for unknown reasons and became a mediocre interior lineman.

Even so, it will not be easy for Merris to hit him in the low post. Having played more than a dozen matches in the Ultimate League, he slowly got used to the intensity and began to use his previous techniques. Merris's center of gravity switched left and right as he hit the ball, and Newman couldn't figure out the direction and lost his judgment, being shaken off by the former's feint and the latter's small hook under the basket.

Simon pushes forward, his official position is small forward, but his status on the court is the same as that of a point guard.

This time he didn't even run in front of Wang Weiyu, with the advantage of height, he saw Newman's position, it was a good opportunity, and he held the ball with his right hand and threw it like an ancient spearman.

Wang Weiyu didn't react, and the ball smashed into Newman's hand, almost slipping.

Newman took the ball and swiped it to the basket, but the force was too strong and he didn't score. Grabbed the rebound, wiped it again, Merris followed up with the block, and did not score. He was also able to get the rebound, made a feint, distracted Merris partially, and then pressed Merris with his body to force a hook.

This ball, bumpy and bumpy, can be regarded as going in.
