Chapter 292 - Pretending to be a force
With the enthusiastic introduction of the DJ on the spot, the players of the Clippers also walked out of the player tunnel and actively greeted the surrounding audience.
As the bench came to an end, the music changed suddenly, and the high-spirited rhythm instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at Staples Center, who knew that the Clippers' starting five were about to appear.
The first to come out was Demar. DeRozan, this year's rookie, has been arranged to be the Clippers' starting point guard due to Li Yao's strength, coupled with the Clippers' proud three-game winning streak. DeRozan soared all the way to the top three in the evaluation of the rookies in the class of '09, and his explosive dunk style also attracted many fans along with the Clippers' eye-catching record.
Immediately after Delmar. DeRozan played in Sergi, who was drafted last year, but was not officially landed in the NBA until this year. Ibaka, although this guy has a somewhat silent personality, but his aggressive defense and explosive physical fitness have also brought him a lot of fans.
The third player to appear was Al Brown, who played his third season for the Clippers. Thorton, this guy was the Clippers' second-leading outside scorer who contributed 16.8 points last season, but due to the Clippers' competitiveness on the outside this season, his scoring has declined slightly this season, but the Clippers fans still gave the Clippers "veteran" the most enthusiastic applause.
The penultimate player was Da Yao, and when Da Yao appeared, the fans at the Staples Center Arena erupted in unprecedented cheers again. Howard is the first center, but Da Yao's strength is unshakable, even their arrogant neighbor Kobe Bryant said that the interior line they want to partner with the most is Da Yao, but they didn't expect the treasure that the Lakers didn't get actually came to the Clippers this summer.
Even for this reason, many loyal Clippers fans have provoked Lakers fans more than once, you are not a dynasty, you are not a champion, you are not the first person in the league, but so what, Da Yao still came to our Clippers.
When Da Yao waved to the fans, the DJ suddenly turned off the music that was playing, and the Clippers fans who were still cheering wildly were also stunned.
For a moment, the entire Staples Center arena was instantly silent.
"Next up for us is the new king of Staples Center, who has made an unprecedented difference to us this year, who was once the hottest supernova in the league, and now he is back with our Clippers again, tell me in your loudest voice, what his name is!" The DJ shouted in the most heart-rending voice.
“Lee,Lee,Lee!” The Clippers fans at the Staples Center Arena who reacted shouted in their most enthusiastic voices, louder than the previous cheers for Da Yao, and Li Yao's name instantly resounded throughout the Staples Center Arena.
"The whole DJ is doing something!" Although Li Yao is enjoying the treatment he is receiving now, he is very worried in his heart, because today they will face the Dallas Mavericks, a strong team, and now DJ has mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans in the Staples Center Arena, if they can't win the Mavericks, it will inevitably cause a big blow to the budding Clippers.
However, worry is worry, Li Yao still walked out of the players' tunnel with the cheers of the fans.
When the fans of the Staples Center Arena saw Li Yao's appearance, the already high emotions were raised again.
"Wow! Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Lee's popularity in Los Angeles has exploded to such a point. "Sitting on the sidelines of the fan. Diesel to Paul on the side. Walker said.
"yes, you know, the last time Lee played at home, the fans weren't so explosive. I even felt some tinnitus. "Paul. Walker nodded in agreement.
Although Li Yao was a little worried about this game, the atmosphere on the scene now made him unable to control the pretending emotions in his heart.
Li Yao slowly raised his hands, and then pointed the thumbs of both hands to his name, and for a moment, the Clippers fans in the Staples Center arena became even more excited.
The shout of "Lee", combined with Li Yao's arrogant expression, was instantly full, so that Fan who was sitting on the field. Diesel couldn't help but be envious.
After a series of opening ceremonies, the game finally got to the point as the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center circle and wait for kickoff.
The Clippers continue their starting five.
The starting lineup on the Mavericks' side is, center: Eric. Dampier; Power Forward: Dirk. Nowitzki; Small Forward: Sean. Marion; Shooting Guard: Quinton. Ross; Point Guard: Jason. Kyd.
Speaking of which, the Mavericks' starting lineup is very close to the Clippers. Marion was Lee's teammate with the Heat last year.
The second is Dirk. Nowitzki, because he and Da Yao are both international players, the relationship between the two is also very good, and even during the Beijing Olympics, Da Yao also took Dirk. Nowitzki went to taste the Quanjude roast duck.
And Eric. When this guy Dampier was facing Da Yao and Big Shark, he actually dared to claim that he was the second center in the West, and then he was pressed to the ground by Da Yao and rubbed on the ground, until the Shark swam east to the Heat, this guy jumped out again and said that he was the second center in the West, and for a while, the "second center in the West" became a joke.
As for Jason. Kidd, the point guard guru and Li Yao also have a lot of connections, and during the Beijing Olympics, Jason . Kidd is very optimistic about Li Yao, and even once said that Li Yao can learn from him how to be a good point guard.
And Quinton. Rose, a shooting guard, also spent 4 seasons with the Clippers, and his fate is not shallow.
However, these origins are all off-topic, and the players on both sides are staring at the basketball in the hands of the referee.
As the referee gently tossed the basketball in his hand, Da Yao and Eric . Dampier also jumped at the same time.
But it's also funny, these two centers belong to the floor stream, looking at the focused appearance of the two when they compete for basketball, Li Yao on the side almost didn't laugh out loud.
However, Da Yao, the first center in the West, still beat the "second center in the West" Eric. Dampier put the basketball firmly on the Clippers' side.
The moment Li Yao received the basketball, he caught up with the basketball from Jason. Kidd's defense is also interesting, Li Yao started from the NCAA until he entered the NBA, and he played a lot of games, but the best point guard he met in the position of point guard was the old demon Jason in front of him at this time. Kidd, in Li Yao's opinion, even the poor fmvp Chaunse. Billups' defense is slightly inferior to that of the old point guard.
Facing the Mavericks, Li Yao had actually thought about it before the game, and their Clippers must play steadily in this game, after all, the impact of back-to-back still exists, not to mention that the opponent is still a strong team like the Dallas Mavericks.
Therefore, after Da Yao was in place, Li Yao directly threw the basketball to Da Yao, and he began to run interspersed.
With this move of Li Yao, the other two members of the outside trio of the Clippers also moved, and in an instant, the Mavericks' just-landed defensive lineup was pulled away.
Da Yao scanned the Mavericks' defense while holding the ball at the top of the free throw line, and on the other hand, he watched the movement of his teammates with his peripheral vision.
Suddenly, Da Yao discovers that Li Yao has taken advantage of a meeting with Demar. DeRozan managed to get rid of Jason after a cross screen. Kidd's pursuit and defense directly slipped the baseline and ran back to cut into the Mavericks' interior line.
Da Yao's side didn't stop at all, and threw the ball directly into the Mavericks' interior line.
At this time, the Mavericks' interior line can be described as empty, and center Eric . Dampier was dragged to the top of the free-throw line by Da Yao, while Dirk. Nowitzki was also taken by Sergi. Ibaka was led to the other side.
Already running back to the inside, Li Yao has no Mavericks players in front of him who can stop him.
So, Li Yao took off directly into the air, grabbed Da Yao's pass from the air into his arms, and then launched a bombing dunk against the Mavericks' basket.
With a "boom", the fans of the Staples Center Arena were instantly stimulated by the wonderful internal and external cooperation between Li Yao and Da Yao.
All of a sudden, cheers erupted in the Staples Center arena.
And the DJ on the scene also put off the air defense siren at the right time to warn the Mavericks that this is the Staples Center, and you must pay attention to the air raid from the Clippers.
After landing on the ground, Li Yao made a movement to stretch his waist, and then shook his shoulders a few times by the way, and then opened his closed eyes and made a confused look.
"It's over, Lee, it's off again." Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly spoke.
"What started?" Eric on the side. Gordon asked with some curiosity after hearing Jackson's whispered muttering.
"Lee, this guy is pretending to be forced again, paralyzed, this guy is so good at pretending, when will I be able to do it! It really taught me another lesson. "Jackson to Eric. After Gordon explained, he couldn't help but say with some envy.
"Poof." Eric. Gordon couldn't help but laugh after hearing Jackson's explanation, and it was said that he actually played such a play at the beginning, in his opinion, no one else would do it except Li Yao.
