After singing the national anthem, the players on both sides began to warm up, and the head coach sent the starting list to the rostrum, and by the way, made some useless guarantees with the referee, such as controlling the players' emotions to avoid causing conflicts, such as not questioning the referee's decision, and so on, it was all nonsense.

O'Neal and Bryant each brought a younger brother to visit the docks, the sharks took Wharton, and the Flyers took Fisher. From the selection of the younger brother, you can see who will become the boss of the Lakers in the future, although Wharton Jr. has a very popular father, but in terms of strength and influence, he can be completely blown up by Chairman Xiaoyu.

In fact, the shark also wants to unite the small fish, after all, everyone is a sea creature, the key is that he knows that Fisher is indeed several grades better than Wharton. It's just that the small fish doesn't buy it, probably because they are worried about being eaten by sharks, after all, sharks are creatures that can even be eaten by whales larger than it, let alone a small fish?

I don't know if O'Neill will hate his nickname, because he has lost a loyal little brother because of it

The Lakers are the most hated team in the league, even if the Pistons are bad like that. The reason why this is so is because this team is so arrogant, they always see themselves as the big brother of the league, they only think that they are rich and noble, everyone else is a hillbilly and a turtle, and the contemptuous gaze is sometimes more hurtful than a fist.

Back at home, both O'Neal and Kobe Bryant regained their self-confidence, a kind of confidence that looks at everything.

"Welcome to Los Angeles, Ben, did you go to the Walk of Fame yesterday? You don't see such a luxurious scenery in the countryside of Detroit, and when I win against you today, I will take you here to have fun and open your eyes. O'Neill said arrogantly.

The Pistons players glared angrily, and Huaben nodded with a grin, "No, Shaq, you should go and see for yourself." Everybody knows that you don't have much to do in Los Angeles, so go everywhere and see more, after all, this is where you've been working for seven or eight years. ”

The Pistons players applauded together, and Huaben smiled and waved to signal that he would be low-key, hiding his merit and fame.

These words really stimulated O'Neill, he snorted coldly, and said irritablely: "Boy, aren't you just going to provoke me? Aren't you just trying to sow discord with our team? Tell you, this trick didn't work for me! I'll be in Los Angeles for the rest of my life, I bet! ”

"If you can stay in Los Angeles for the rest of your life, I won't marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of my life." Hua Ben said firmly.

The Pistons players were in an uproar, this is a bloody investment, but this will be the momentum of the two sides, the so-called loser does not lose the battle, Rashid and others also have to support Huaben. Billups and Rashid looked at each other and reassured, "Yes, yes, I will never marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of my life."

Damn, if you two marry another daughter-in-law, it will be a crime of bigamy, O'Neill is furious.

Mirisic said weakly: "If you can stay in Los Angeles for the rest of your life, I won't for the rest of my life!" Huaben only felt that it was dark in front of him.

It was still Patin who gave a little more force, and the Englishman patted his chest and promised: "Then I will not shave for the rest of my life." ”

O'Neill was not good at words, not to mention that he was still facing so many mouths, and left angrily. Waiting for him to leave, Patin cautiously asked, "Captain, the Lakers won't keep this guy, right?" Damn, I don't want to be able to shave for the rest of my life. ”

Mirisic said sadly, "I swear to God, I like to. ”

"Fuck you, warm up for Lao Tzu, as long as we win the championship, we will definitely win! Don't you understand? Now that Los Angeles has formed the four kings, if they can't win the championship this season, someone will definitely have to come out and carry the black pot, who else is there besides O'Neal? Wahben growled.

Kobe Bryant laughed: "Are you so confident? "He's very happy because of Wabeon's strong support, and now the important thing for him is that the future is the boss's position, and as for the championship, ha, he's still young, and there are still opportunities.

As soon as O'Neill left, Peter Pan arrived, during which the two staggered past each other in the midfield, and neither of them looked at each other.

"That's the kind of self-confidence." Hua Ben said proudly, picked up a ball and jumped outside the three-point line, and before the ball fell into the hoop, he raised his hands and turned around, his expression was arrogant.

The crowd booed.

Kobe kindly reminded: "Ben, that goal didn't go in." ”

Grass! Hua Ben was suddenly embarrassed and pretended to be too much.

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley and Smith introduced the game to the camera in a serious manner, and between the two, TNT invited a heavyweight, the most representative star in the history of the Lakers, Magic Evan . Johnson!

"According to my experience in basketball for many years, the Lakers can win this game, because if they lose this game again, it will be three consecutive defeats in the Finals, and what awaits them is a sweep! Can the Lakers be swept? Maybe, that would have to be my presence, which the Detroitites can't do. "From the latter sentence, you can analyze the identity of the master, who else but Barkley can say such shameless words?

Smith has the heart to raise the bar with Barkley, but he is a reasonable man, and it is reasonable that the Lakers can definitely cut a victory on their own doorstep today. How long has O'Neill not practiced after training? But in the past two days, he has been practicing hard to cooperate, as for who to cooperate with, it is needless to say? It must be Kobe Bryant, the fierce beast of the OK combination has been dormant for a season, and finally showed its fangs again in the finals.

Johnson naturally had to say good things about his old club, and he vowed that "I went to see the lads practice this morning, they were in great shape, the Detroiters are in trouble today, Shaq will show his dominance as the first center again, and Kobe Bryant's status as an outside finisher will be revealed again." ”

Smith finally found a topic where he could raise the bar: "Evan, I've always been convinced by your skills, but your eyes always make me doubt, you say Shaq is the first center?" And what about Ben? In my opinion, Ben is the number one center forward now! Just look at his performances in the first two games, he even learned the dream dance moves of the guy Hakiem (Olajuwon), he played Shaq! Moreover, he has already shown his dominance in the first round, three games of 50+20, which is an unprecedented miracle, so I think he is the first center! ”

Johnson smiled shyly on his face, and when Smith finished expressing his opinion excitedly, he said slowly: "Ben is indeed great, but can you guarantee that guy is a center now?" Damn, how do I feel like a striker? And, is he as tall as me? I'm not even embarrassed to say I'm a center! ”

Amid a heated discussion among the trio about the center, the game began.

The Lakers' starting lineup is back to normal: center Sharks, power forward Postman, small forward and now Peter Pan is called the Black Mamba, organizing guard gloves, scoring guard Xiaoyu, and in the end he is still a point guard.

The Pistons' starting lineup hasn't changed either: center Variben, power forward Rashid, small forward Prince, playmaker Billups, and shooting guard Hamilton.

Compared with the Lakers' side, the atmosphere on the Pistons' side is much warmer and more harmonious, and Huaben brought everyone together and lowered his head to do pre-war mobilization:

"We've won two games and half of the O'Brien Cup has fallen into our arms, now let's see if you're willing to reach out and embrace it. We both have memories of where we are not leaving, but I don't want to go back to Detroit to celebrate the championship. This is Los Angeles, it is the center of the world, we have the Staples Center under our feet, it is the proudest place for Los Angeles people, in this place, there have been more than ten championship award ceremonies, but none of them have our share, today, I want to leave our footprints in this place, I want to ask, do you have confidence, and when someone says about the Staples Center, Detroit people have won the championship here, do you have confidence?! ”

"Confident!" The Pistons roared in response.

Rashid moved his wrist and stood at the free-throw line with a serious expression. Across from him, O'Neal had a more serious expression, his gaze scraping around Rashid's body like a knife.

The referee of this game is still Crawford, the bald officer blew the whistle solemnly to represent the start of the game, took the ball to the halfway line, and warned the players around him: "This is a basketball game, not WWE or UFC, you all pay attention to your identity, I don't want to see anyone make a move that violates the rules of the game!" ”

With that, Crawford nodded to the other two referees and tossed the ball into the air.

Rashid and O'Neill squatted almost at the same time, and jumped up almost at the same time, two black arms appeared in the air, one thin and straight, the other round and powerful, different arms, the same pursuit.

"Mine!" Rashid roared and took the lead in slapping the ball, Huaben jumped up and scooped the ball into his arms, turned around and stuck Malone and handed the ball to Billups in the back, while praising in his mouth: "Well done, Rashid, just come!" ”

Seeing the opponent snatching the ball so arrogantly, the fans in the Staples Arena were not happy and began to shout:

"Detroit garbage, a bunch of grease-covered worker dogs!"

"Kill Detroit, grass them to death!"

"Give them a dismount, Shaq Bryant, and let them die a painful death!"

Listening to the insults from the fans, Billups held his breath in his heart, and at the beginning of the game, he was full of energy, and he used pure speed to pass Fisher, strode into the free throw line, and attacked the hoop directly.

O'Neal and Wabben hit their muscles under the basket, fighting for a more advantageous position, Billups' breakthrough was like a clarion call for a decisive battle, and the two of them burst out with the greatest strength, like a bison hitting a rhinoceros, you fight for me, one wants to cover Billups in a position, the other wants to grab a position to block him, and the two bodies that represent the strongest body in the NBA 'Boom' began to collide under the basket.
