Chapter 283: The Battle of the Axis

The camera switched suddenly, and countless signals spread through the distant sky to the mainland of the United States on the other side of the ocean, sending and receiving huge messages through the wisps of veins invisible to the naked eye.

"Audience friends, welcome to watch the 2010-2011 NBA regular season, tonight's game is hosted by the Los Angeles Lakers, facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, both teams are the strongest teams in the West this season, which is stronger or weaker, let's wait and see!" Duan Ranzheng, an NBA frontline reporter who was far away in the Staples Arena, spoke very quickly, although his eyes were on the camera, his mind had already flown to the game that was about to start.

An opening sentence that was neither long nor short was quickly broadcast by him like a series of cannonballs, and Duan Ran gave his nearby photography partner a look without a trace.

The camera quickly cut to the arena in the center of the field, and Duan Ran, who had originally maintained a focused commentary posture, suddenly relaxed, impatiently poured a sip of mineral water, and quickly asked, "How is it, how long will the game start?" ”

The photography partner on the side glanced at Duan Ran when he heard this, and he was a little amused in his heart, and couldn't help but smile: "Reporter Duan Da, you are the No.1 front-line reporter of our station, why are you so unbreathable!" ”

Duan Ran rolled his eyes and replied: "Of course you are not in a hurry, the camera is in your hands, you can see the game at a glance, how can I be so frightened!" ”

With a sigh of relief, Duan Ran continued: "But don't say it, tonight's game will definitely be very good, the first defending champion in the west, this game can't be missed!" ”

Duan Ran's heart is hot about this game, he is a fan of the Lakers, and he is also very concerned about Li Shihao, who is thriving in the Timberwolves.

Nothing else, Duan Ran, who was conducting front-line interviews abroad, himself understood very well how unpalatable the reporter's bowl of rice was.

Don't look at the domestic market, he mixes very well, and he has the title of the No. 1 reporter on the front line of the NBA, but on the other side of the ocean, among a bunch of fellow reporters, there are really few who take themselves in their eyes, and they are basically affectionate names with a hint of falsehood and nonsense.

The dark horse shot that Li Shihao starred in the Timberwolves last season ran through the whole season, and it was instantly different in the eyes of many people, and Duan Ran's feeling was very clear and intuitive.

It was much more convenient for him to cover the competition, and many reporters were full of respect in their eyes, and they couldn't fake it.

It is none other than Li Shihao who quietly set off these changes, it can be said that the Chinese kid who is now thriving in the NBA has gradually begun to become a new weather vane.

What makes Duan Ran even more excited is that there is already news in the United States that the game manufacturers of the NBA2K series intend to use Li Shihao as the cover character of the new season, which is a treatment that even the little giant Yao Ming has never had.

Now, the Timberwolves are riding high in the West, beating teams in succession to win eight in a row, and now they are about to face the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the star-studded Staples Center.

"Bruce, you're making fast progress!" Just when Li Shihao was sorting out his equipment on the sidelines, Kobe, who has always been indifferent and withdrawn, actually walked to Li Shihao's side and said abruptly.

Li Shihao was a little surprised, but he still smiled slightly, "I got these things with my sweat, and I think he likes me very much because of this!" ”

Kobe Bryant couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Li Shihao pointed to the ball in his hand when he spoke, such an attitude undoubtedly made him very happy.

It is a great pleasure for Kobe Bryant to meet someone who is as diligent and hardworking as himself, and he is also very willing to deal with such young juniors.

"Bruce, remember your words today, I think you're going to be a superstar someday, and I don't think that day is far off!" Kobe Bryant grinned, showed his white teeth, and gave Li Shihao a strong hug.

For Kobe, there are fewer and fewer people in it who play like him.

Although after his two consecutive championships, more and more fans are starting to call himself the closest player to the god of basketball, and even the experts are constantly praising him.

But Kobe Bryant knows very well in his heart that he has embarked on a completely different path from Jordan, if his ball skills Michael Jordan, then his style of play is the same as Iverson.

From getting acquainted in high schools across the United States to entangled matchups for several seasons, in Kobe's heart, in fact, Iverson's significance has already unconsciously surpassed Michael Jordan.

Jordan shaped his game, and Iverson showed him his way!

But when he really stood at the top of the league, he was a little stunned, Iverson, whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, was old, and he was no longer the invincible giant who could carry the team's offense alone.

Players like him and Iverson are becoming scarcer in the league, and Kobe Bryant would be false to say that he has no regrets.

However, in Kobe's opinion, the Chinese kid of the Minnesota Timberwolves is very interesting, and the speed of progress is very fast, which makes people have to be impressed.

"Boy, tonight's game is cruel, don't be beaten and cry!" Kobe Bryant whispered in Li Shihao's ear.

Li Shihao smiled and replied not to be outdone: "Kobe, I think you look better when you cry, I can't help it!" ”

Kobe Bryant clenched his fists, lightly bumped into Li Shihao's chest, and walked away with a smile.

In Kobe's eyes, the Timberwolves want to beat his Lakers, but it may not be enough!

There has always been no shortage of attention to the matchup between the Western powerhouses, let alone the drama of the Western Conference's No. 1 matchup against the defending champion.

The game didn't keep the fans in Staples waiting too long, and the two teams started on time at the referee's whistle!

The Los Angeles Lakers' triangle offense is their signature tactic, which boils down to creating space and opportunities for players to play alone, and even changes their tactics to achieve this effect.

The other 29 teams in the league have suffered a lot, and it's not uncommon to think hard about finding an effective way to counter the triangle offense, but no team has ever really done it.

But in tonight's game, the Lakers fans full of them were surprised that some teams actually found a way to restrain the triangle offense, and Pau Gasol, the interior axis of the Los Angeles Lakers, was restricted!

The opponent is none other than his own brother - Marc Gasol! (To be continued.) )
