Chapter 213 - Visiting Staples

On January 10, after taking on the Kings on the road, the Heat will return to Los Angeles and will take on the Kobe-led Lakers at Staples Arena tomorrow.

This season's Lakers still continue the same lineup that contended for the championship last season, and further deepen the strength of the lineup in this lineup.

Today's Lakers team is even more proud of the giants in the West, and has achieved an impressive record of 29 wins and 6 losses since the start of the game, ranking first in the West.

This time is actually the third time Li Yao has been a guest in Los Angeles, the first time was to visit the class with Wade, and the second time was to lead the three beauties in the family to visit the class to play during the ban period, and even helped Deborah. Silva recognized Kobe Bryant, another brother.

Although the Heat had already faced the Lakers at their home court before, that game happened to be Li Yao in the suspension period, although the Heat finally won the game, but it had nothing to do with him. This time he came to Los Angeles again, and Li Yao finally ushered in his first meeting with Kobe Bryant in the NBA, and when he thought of this, Li Yao's heart was actually very excited.

Kobe Bryant, the man closest to God since Jordan, recognized by the NBA as the second-largest scoring guard in history, also has an important place in Li Yao's heart, and his indomitable spirit has always been a point that Li Yao admires.

As soon as the Heat arrived in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant dialed Li Yao and invited Li Yao and Wade to his home as guests.

Of course, Li Yao has no opinion on this kind of invitation, after all, he also wants to communicate more with Kobe, the god of war.

When Li Yao and Wade came to Kobe's mansion, the two little princesses of Kobe's family immediately surrounded Li Yao and asked Li Yao about their little aunt Deborah.

Li Yao originally thought that these two little princesses were to welcome him, but it turned out to be such a result, which made Li Yao embarrassed to open his hands and didn't know what to do.

"Well, that, Deborah is still in Miami, and he didn't come together." Seeing Kobe Bryant and Vanessa standing there like that and watching the jokes, without the slightest intention of helping him out, Li Yao could only say helplessly.

As a result, when the two little princesses of Kobe's family heard that Deborah did not come with Li Yao, they immediately pouted and left with an unhappy face, and they didn't even say hello to Li Yao.

"Ahem." Li Yao had to cough to hide his embarrassing side, but it turned out to be in exchange for Kobe Bryant, Vanessa, and Wade, who couldn't bear it anymore.

After finishing the dinner with the Kobe family, Wade and Li Yao returned to the hotel where they were staying.

The time came on the night of January 11th, before the game began, Li Yao, who was standing in the players' tunnel waiting to play, glanced curiously at the sidelines, because in the broadcast of the previous life, every time there was a Lakers game, those Hollywood stars on the sidelines were always so conspicuous.

As a result, okay, Li Yao glanced at the past, and suddenly couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, Nima, it's really Los Angeles!

In the most visible seat of the audience sat Jessica. Alba, Beckham's family, Tom Tom, Jack Nicholson, Xiao Li Zi and other big-name stars sat in the most conspicuous position, and Li Yao even found Justin in the crowd. Bieber's figure.

"Huh, is this Staples?" Li Yao couldn't help but sigh, this was just a general glance at him, and he didn't look closely, and you must know that there are still many celebrities Li Yao he doesn't know, just like the handsome guy who sits next to Xiao Li Zi and talks and laughs with him is definitely not an idle person, but Li Yao doesn't know him.

"What's wrong? Lee, are you envious? Then just come to our Lakers, I guarantee that you will see a lot of stars at home every time, and this is Los Angeles, which is more beneficial to their development. Li Yao's small muttering was heard by Kobe Bryant on the side, and he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Kobe, I warn you, don't make a fuss! I'm not someone I don't know Hollywood, and I can arrange it for them. Wade couldn't have imagined that before the game began, Kobe Bryant was still taking the opportunity to dig the wall, this kind of behavior is simply too much, although Anthony was also digging the wall a while ago, but Wade felt the threat for the first time, after all, the two daughters of Li Yao's family are actors, and there is nothing more tempting than Hollywood.

"You two are enough, when will it be your turn for me to worry about it? Don't I just sigh that I saw so many celebrities today, what about you? Li Yao listened to the two of them arguing because of his own emotion, and suddenly had a headache.

"Actually, there aren't so many people in normal times, it's not because you're here, you must know that your two backcourt two-gun combination is now the most gorgeous backcourt combination recognized by all fans, so ah, Lee, if you come to the Lakers, you can see so many stars every day, after all, if we combine them, they may be more gorgeous than you and Dwyan!" Kobe Bryant first explained to Li Yao why there are so many stars in Staples today, and finally did not forget to dig into the wall.

"Alright, Kobe, the game is about to start, so don't talk about that." Li Yao only felt that a little devil with two horns in front of him was constantly tempting him with a golden apple, and hurriedly stopped Kobe's temptation, he was afraid that he really couldn't stand this temptation.

When Staples's on-site DJ began to introduce the starting lineups of the players on both sides, when he read Kobe's name, Li Yao listened to the cheers of the entire Staples, and even lifted the entire Staples Center Arena, Li Yao also deeply realized Kobe's influence in the city.

To put it mildly, although Wade is now also a symbol of Miami, compared with Kobe's status in Los Angeles, Li Yao still feels that Kobe has a slight upper hand.

When the referee signaled the players on both sides to stand in the middle circle and jump the ball, Li Yao also took the opportunity to glance at the Lakers' starting five today.

Center: Andrew. Bynum; Power Forward: Paul. Gasol; Small forward: Radmanovic; Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant; Defender: Derek. Fisher.

As for Sun Dasheng, an old teammate of Li Yao's national team, Li Yao did not see him on the Lakers' bench, and it seems that Sun Dasheng has been sent to the Development League as expected.

The starting lineup on the Heat's side has changed today, and the Haslemha team, who has been serving as the Heat's starting power forward, is sitting on the bench at this time, and it is Birdman Anderson who replaces him as the starter.

In fact, Li Yao knew this during the warm-up training this morning, and the reason was that their Harbin team took the initiative to find Coach Spo after the last game against the Kings, saying that he was willing to play as a substitute, and he didn't want to be the breakthrough point in the team's starting lineup, so there was today's Heat starting change.

Li Yao is really impressed by Haslem's behavior, this Kazakhstan team actually doesn't care about their starting position for the team's results, how many people can't do it, you must know how many team players earn their heads for a starting position.

However, now that the Birdman has replaced Haslem as the starter, the Heat's interior elevation has suddenly increased, although the 2.08-meter Anderson is not very high, but it has increased the altitude of the Heat's interior line a lot, coupled with the mobility and defense brought by his excellent physical condition, it is enough to improve the Heat's starting strength by a notch.

With the referee's opening whistle blowing, Mark. Gasol and Andrew. Bynum jumped up at the same time, and although Bynum's physical condition was good, he was still beaten by Mark. Gasol snatched the ball.

After receiving a pass from his teammates, Li Yao officially confronted Derek. Fisher's defense.

Li Yao looked at Derek. Fisher's strong body suddenly became a little bigger, and he was a strong point guard, the 1.85-meter-tall Derrick. Fisher, on the other hand, has a strong body of 93 kilograms.

However, Li Yao is not an ignorant rookie who just entered the league at the beginning, he has also been in contact with this kind of strong point guard, everything has advantages and disadvantages, although these strong point guards occupy a certain advantage in physical strength, but they fall into the inferior in terms of speed.

Glancing at the starting lineups of the two sides again, an idea secretly rose in Li Yao's heart. That is the speed, compared to the starting lineups of the two sides, the mobility of the Heat side is obviously stronger than the Lakers' side, so once the pace of the two sides increases, the Lakers' advantage of the inside twin towers will be gone.

But this is just the idea behind it, and now Li Yao still needs to face Derek head-on. Fisher's defense.

After shaking his neck, Li Yao started in an instant.

At the first time Derek started Lee. Fisher also moved with it, but he has always maintained a very ambiguous defensive space with Li Yao, which not only allows him to fully react to Li Yao's breakthrough, but also can pay good attention to Li Yao's three-point shot.

That's what Kobe Bryant said before the game to Derek. Fisher's advice, Kobe Bryant has not forgotten Li Yao's three-point shooting ability to snatch their scheduled gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.

Li Yao also found out about this, and couldn't help frowning, but then his brows stretched again, do you think you can limit your three-point shot just by paying attention? So isn't the name of Ku Ritian's name in vain?

Li Yao directly cross-over shook Derek. After Fisher's defensive body moved a little, he directly stepped back to the outside of the three-point line and pulled out a three-point shot.

A three-pointer hit with a "whoosh" and hit it steadily. Fisher has been paying attention to Li Yao's three-point shot, and pounced on Li Yao the moment he stepped back, but he still couldn't stop Li Yao's three-point shot.

The corners of Li Yao's mouth hooked a hint of arc, not to mention Derek. Fisher had already vacated space for Li Yao in order to prevent himself from breaking through, and Li Yao threw off the veteran a few grades in terms of speed alone, coupled with the extremely fast shooting speed of the day's stunt and the advantage of Li Yao's height and bounce, Derek. How could Fisher be able to defend against his attack?
