There is a great profession in the East called the "scalper", which is not a group of conscientious old scalpers, who are commonly known as "ticket sellers". They can get tickets at a low price or even for free through special channels, and then resell them to people watching the game at a very low price, which can be described as a blessing for fans.

In the NBA China game held not long ago, the original price of the game between the Warriors and the Bucks was 600 yuan, and the ticket was 30 yuan. You can see the greatness of these people...... (It's just that the team is too bad for no one to watch, right?) In the United States, there is also a scalping profession, but it is much more formal, called a "ticketing company" that looks like a stock exchange on Wall Street. Like investors, ticket sellers admit that they make mistakes due to emotions, fatigue and other factors. Every year during the NBA finals season, ticket prices skyrocket like rockets, and last season's Finals Game 5 tickets worth $200 sold for $35,000, thanks to scalpers. The scalpers who hovered outside the stadium were once disgraced by the mainstream, and many states in the United States even legislated to prohibit scalping. But with the rise of the internet, scalpers have become a fashionable new profession, and if it is purchased online, how can it be banned? Many large companies are also among them, reselling various tickets, with annual profits as high as 8 billion to 10 billion US dollars.

In a regular season game between the Lakers and the Bobcats, the ticket price was nearly doubled by the scalpers, which shows how much attention this game has.

In the away locker room, the players all sat in chairs, and only D'Antoni stood alone, explaining the tactics: "We still use a combination of triangle offense and run-and-bomb tactics, the opening offense is dominated by Kevin (Durant), the Lakers' starting small forward must be Artest, if he defends Chuck, then it should be Kobe Bryant who defends Kevin." Although Kobe Bryant is very famous, he is only 198cm tall, and Kevin has an advantage to beat him. Chakra goes to the high post to attack, and if Kevin doesn't have a good chance to shoot, he gives it to Chuck. Steven Gerrard (Wallace) came off the bench today, with Chuck as the starting small forward and Andris (Bagnani) as the power forward. You and Chuck switch positions at any time, pull to the outside to shoot, and Chuck is responsible for grabbing the rebound. Man to man when defending. ”

The Bobcats started Bagnani in order to add height to the players on the field and allow him to defend Pau Gasol. The Lakers' interior strength is very strong, with Paul Gasol, Bynum, Odom, and the passionate "Birdman" Anderson in the new season.

Moreau, Hill, and Weaver did not make the squad for this game. D'Antoni is well aware that the Bobcats not only have to ensure their attacking power, but also fight defensively.

The Lakers' locker room was quieter, and "Zen Master" Jackson just said a few morale-boosting words. Let Artest and Gasol pay attention to defending Hayes. Needless to say, there is only one set of Lakers' tactics, and that is the triangle offense.

"Magic" Johnson and Joan Barry are now commenting.

When the players entered, Hayes and Bryant went to the commentary box together to greet Johnson.

"Kobe, you have to win today. Don't let this kid be too arrogant. Johnson laughed.

"Erwin, I'm also half of your apprentice, why don't you support me?" Hayes smiled wryly.

Johnson squinted his eyes at Hayes and said, "Chuck, my jerseys are all retired here, how can I support your Pandas?" ”

The Bobcats' change of mascot has had a profound impact, and the Bobcats also have a nickname, which is the "Panda Team".

"I'm not going to lose." Hayes said, waving in the direction of the audience.

Director Peter Borg sat in the front row not far away. He smiled at Hayes and didn't stand up. The two were in constant contact, and if it weren't for Hayes's Olympics going to the Olympics, Peter Borg would have wanted to make a movie with him.

A beautiful blonde sitting next to Peter stood up and waved vigorously at Hayes, who shuddered at the sight of the man's appearance. This blonde lady turned out to be Paris Hilton. Hayes could feel the eyes of the fans around him lock onto him.

Not many people are familiar with Peter Borg, but no one doesn't know Hilton, and fans immediately agreed that Hayes was greeting Hilton. Isn't it a scandal, the two really have a leg? Fans invariably had this idea.

Hilton wore a black Chanel hat, a plain T-shirt with letters, no underwear, a blonde shawl, and a bag of his own brand "Parishilton" to advertise. She's a shrewd woman, and she sits next to Peter Borg on purpose to get herself on the entertainment news.

The Lakers' home court is always full of Hollywood stars to watch the game, and this game is even more star-studded, with Jessica Bell, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Leonardo DiCaprio, the head of the new generation of jade girls, Hillary Duff, and so on...... It is worth mentioning that Hillary Duff has a lot of fans as a three-dimensional star, and she can even be used as an unconventional set of tactics for the Lakers, and she always distracts the players when she sits on the court, and Durant is one of them.

"Kevin, the one you like is probably watching the game too. If you're drooling like that, staring at the sidelines, there's no bath water to drink. Billups walked over to Durant and said. Veterans still have a great sense of humor at times.

Then Billups walked up to Hayes and smiled, "Chuck, I noticed that there are beautiful women who have been staring at you and biting their fingers and making saliva." She looks like she wants to eat you. ”

"Big brother, as a veteran, you can't be distracted. This is not the time to observe others. Hayes said, still involuntarily looking in the direction Billups said, and found that there was indeed a beautiful brunette with a scantily clad fat girl next to her.

Hayes didn't know the two, just ordinary fans. In fact, these two ladies are also famous, they are sisters of the "Kardashian" family. That brunette beauty Kim Kardashian is famous in the same way as Hilton...... Then Hayes saw the discord again, and a blonde beauty close to the sidelines gave him a middle finger...... Both Hayes and Billups saw the scene.

Hayes smiled bitterly: "This young lady is very beautiful, she actually does this kind of thing, do I have any deep hatred with her?" ”

"That's Stacey Jibler, wrestler, don't you even watch the news? She likes Kobe Bryant and said in an interview that she would love to break your thick legs! ”

Hayes: "......"

Before the game began, Joan Barry quipped: "Erwin, it seems that the Lakers take today's game very seriously, but the atmosphere on the Bobcats' side is much more relaxed." Look at Hayes and Billups laughing there. ”

"They won too easily before, so they have arrogant capital. Kobe Bryant was very serious today, and his expression was cold all the time. Johnson said.

"Is Kobe ready to score today?" Joan Barry asked.

Johnson said: "Kobe Bryant started this season and only relied on his individual ability to attack wildly when the team couldn't play, and he became more composed as before. The tactical core of the Lakers' triangle offense is Pau Gasol on the inside. The Bobcats also have a Gasol, but Mark Gasol can only play as a substitute now, and the strength is still too far behind. ”

The game was about to start, Artest stood beside Hayes and said coldly: "This time I arrived at the Lakers, you won't be so easy." ”

Artest also holds a grudge against being humiliated by Hayes at the Kings last season, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed out of his contract.

"yes, Gasol's defense really makes me uncomfortable, if only you had been defending me." Hayes laughed, the implication is that it's easier for you to defend me and score.

Artest was so angry that he almost had a live PK with Hayes before the start of the game.

Bobcats starting lineup: Billups, Durant, Hayes, Bagnani, Camby.

Lakers starting lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Pau Gasol, Bynum.

The referee tosses the ball into the air and Camby jumps the ball with Bynum. The ball is afraid of being less strong, Camby can't jump Bynum, and the Lakers get the ball. Fisher led the ball to organize the offense, and the front court was handed to Bryant.

Durant stood in front of Kobe Bryant, raising his slender arms to interfere. In the Dream Team, Durant and Kobe have compared, and his defense has made Kobe a little uncomfortable. Now Kobe Bryant breaks through less and uses more jumpers, and Durant's body is good at defensive jumpers.

Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball horizontally, and Durant followed beside Kobe. When he was a sparring partner in Dream 8, he prevented Kobe, but it doesn't mean that he can also prevent it today, and now he has no carelessness, his attention is very concentrated, and he no longer looks at the star beauties on the sidelines.

Before the start of the game, Durant patted Hayes' chest and assured Hayes that he would do his best and would not be distracted by his favorite beauty star on the sidelines. And now he did! That's what a real professional player is.

'Miss Hillary Duff, let me beat Kobe Bryant, show you my dashing figure, and throw yourself into my arms.' Durant thought to himself. (That's how you focus?) Durant's defense did work, Kobe Bryant was no faster than Durant, and he couldn't get rid of Durant for a while in a one-on-one situation.

When facing the defense normally (here it means that the normal defense is not the kind of defense that does not prevent the shooting), the person who starts fast usually breaks through the defense easily, and no matter how good the defender is, he passively follows, the key to breaking through the defender is the starting speed and changing direction, speed and coordination are crucial, and today's Kobe Bryant's breakthrough ability is definitely not as good as Wade, James, and even Rose in his rookie season is above him.

At this time, Bryant had to rely on his teammates. Pau Gasol pulled high post to cover Kobe, Kobe Bryant finally got rid of Durant, Bagnani made up the defense, Durant bypassed Gasol and caught up with Kobe from behind, Kobe attracted two defenders and sent the ball to the middle Gasol with his right hand.

Gasol received the ball and immediately hit it! 0 to 2.

"One defense, one defense, don't chase Kobe, defend Gasol!" Hayes said to Durant as he served the ball.

Durant's height is not a disadvantage to Gasol, and allowing Kobe to shoot at this time can't let Gasol empty. Durant immediately nodded in agreement.

The Bobcats attacked, Hayes received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and the defender was Artest. Artest used an aggressive defense, taking the initiative to find physical confrontation and close to Hayes. Both are big players, and it won't be easy for Hayes to break through Artest head-on. Bagnani came up to cover.

Hayes broke through from the left with the ball and Pau Gasol stepped up. Hayes accelerated with the ball, made a sharp stop, and raised the ball with both hands, but Gasol just raised his hands, did not jump, and did not shake. Hayes had no choice but to pass the ball out, and Durant's outside jumper missed. Bynum grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers attacked, Gasol asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Camby defended it. Gasso dribbled twice with the ball, turned around and hit a jumper to the baseline! 0 to 4.

As soon as the Lakers came up, they attacked with Gasol as the core!
