Chapter 146: Visiting Orlando
"Big singer, I'm so bored right now, let's sing a song and listen to it!" On the Lakers plane flying from Los Angeles to Orlando, Odom was teasing Li Chen's performance last night.
After Taylor announced his relationship, many fans are waiting for the appearance of the male protagonist, although many people have already guessed who it is, but this kind of thing still has to be seen to be believed.
After all, although the Big Apple is handsome and chic, people's love lives are a mess, and fans don't believe that their idols will like such a guy, even if the scandal between the two has spread all over the world, they still think that it is nonsense by the media.
Li Chen's appearance broke all doubts, and fans mourned, "Sure enough, it's this guy!" Although the involvement with Taylor is very unpleasant, he is still a member of the Lakers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a city hero in Los Angeles. Out of this consideration, fans are a little helpless, whether to boo him or support him!
Considering that this guy is still a guest, many people think that it is better to give him a chance, and if the performance is very bad, then it is not too late to boo him. On the other hand, if it is great, then give him a chance, after all, if you only look at these two people, they still have the potential of a golden boy and a girl.
Bryant picked up a copy of the day's morning newspaper and flipped to the entertainment section on it, the front page was undoubtedly for last night's concert at the Staples Center, and the boss pointed to one of the lines and read.
"Although Taylor's liking of the Big Apple is a bit disappointing, there's no denying that bastard kid is still very good at music, and the song "MakingLoveOutofNothingatall" is no less than the original Russellhitchcook!"
"Cruze, I guess soon a record company will ask you to record a song with a completed song, after all, many professionals say they look at you very well." Odom said with a little envy, "Well, if you want to change careers to become a singer, it's much easier than playing basketball, at least you don't have to get up early to train!" ”
Li Chen rolled his eyes, "Who said that if you sing well, you must sing, I just play casually, if I sing every day, how boring is that, please, I'm not the kind of great person who is like life with music!" At this, he changed his face again.
"Of course, it's not bad to release a record once in a while, and if it sells well, I'll become a superstar with both sports and sports."
This kind of performance is simply a show off of Chi Guoguo, and the Yigan people on the plane unceremoniously gave a middle finger collectively.
Li Chen didn't care about everyone's contempt, "It's okay, I forgive you, after all, there is a gap between people, I can understand your jealousy, don't worry, when I release the record, I will give you a few for free!" ”
The arrogant appearance of the little brother made Kobe very unhappy, and the boss poured cold water, "How about you say that the records and jerseys will be packaged and sold at that time?" There are a lot of people in the NBA who do this, there is no way, if you sell records alone, no one will buy them, you can only sell them in bundles! ”
"I'm not one of those people, just wait, don't be surprised if I win the Grammy one day! After all, this is the inevitable result of strength! Unexpectedly, he was looked down upon, Li Chen immediately retorted.
"Grammy Sports Style Award?" The Zen master sitting in the front row said slowly.
"Huh? Is there such an award? This award made Li Chen interested, does the Grammys have sports-related awards, if there is, then he is bound to win, after all, he is much stronger than those unscrupulous people who rely on the fame of the stadium to force records to fans. It's just that the old monk's next sentence interrupted his sweet dream.
"Not yet, but I'll write to the Grammys to suggest it, if they take it!"
Game 3 of the Finals is scheduled at Amway Arena in Orlando, and unlike previous series, the format of the Finals is 2:3:2, which means that if the Lakers can't settle the battle in four games, they will play three away games in a row. The league is arranged this way in order to minimize the Lakers' home-court advantage in order to achieve the fairest principle.
This is clearly an opportunity for the Magic, who are currently trailing 2-0, and if they can keep their three home courts, they will be able to overtake the Lakers in a total score. Although the last two games were held at the Staples Center, it is believed that with the support of match points, they will be able to burst out with more energy.
In response to this situation, Orlando sees this game as crucial. If it wins, then the magic still has a chance. Conversely, if they lose, like the Lakers' previous opponents, the Magic will have to wait to be kicked out. Again, there has not been a single case of a 0:3 reversal in the league so far.
Stan Van Gundy was full of confidence in his pre-match media interview, "We've lost two games, but the rest of the games are in Orlando. The Magic's home record this season is the second best in the league, and we believe that even in the playoffs, we will be able to take advantage of this opportunity! ”
The Zen master is still calm in the face of the media, and he is better at this kind of pre-game verbal fight than anyone else, and the old hippie hits the nail on the head.
"Van Gundy says they have the second-best home record, but I would say the Lakers have the best record on the road, and obviously, if you just look at the standings, the Lakers have won. But we can't just look at the rankings, we have to look at the results of the first two games, ah...... It's already 2:0, so don't look at it, we'll win! ”
The old monk's cynicism is obviously not something that ordinary people can bear, and no one knows how Van Gundy feels, but the professionals in the alliance still give their own opinions.
It's still Van Gundy, but this is his younger brother, "Although I know that Stan is a good coach, but now the answer is obvious, the Magic has nothing to do with the Lakers, and I am very optimistic that the Lakers will become the first team in history to win the championship with a winning record!" ”
Oni the Shark looked sad when asked about it, "God, they're going to break the record!" Well, is that record mine? Oh, you can't do that! Come on magic, you've got to win, even though I know it's hard! ”
Coach Vicky also expressed his optimism about the Lakers, "This Lakers team is really strong, please note that this strength is for all teams in the league, if the Magic are finally swept, I will not be surprised at all, Lee's maturity gives Phil's tactics unprecedented freedom." ”
The old coach joked at the end, "Fortunately, the Big Apple's departure from the Lakers next season is a foregone conclusion, otherwise, I really don't know how to beat them, especially after an offseason, no one would have predicted how the Big Apple would grow!" ”
The topic came to the big apple that jumped out of thin air this season, everyone knows that the current strength of the Lakers is inseparable from Li Chen, and no one can fill the vacancy created after his departure.
The attitude of the famous marshal is disgusting, "Will he come to New York?" If yes, that's great, you know, there's no one better at spotting a player's offensive talent than me! I can make him a veritable scoring machine, and the Knicks will be able to get back into the playoffs, if he gets through, of course! ”
The attitude of supporting the Lakers is no exception even if it is put into the Celestial Empire, and Su Qun, a famous commentator of CCTV, wrote an article saying, "Even if the Magic return to their home court, this does not become a reason for them to counterattack." The Lakers' away record is the first in the league and the fourth in the league at home, which shows that the Lakers don't need to be at home, they have always relied on their strength to crush their opponents! ”
"Kobe Bryant at the three-point line can make people helpless, and similarly, Li Chen outside the three-point line can also be daunting, plus the twin towers on the inside and Ariza with strong defense, and veterans like Odom and Fisher on the bench, the configuration of this Lakers team is close to perfect! If nothing else, Sun Yue will be lucky enough to receive a championship ring that will be coveted by thousands of basketball people. ”
The one-sided attitude of the outside world made Orlando very helpless, and the Orlando Sentinel gave a very sad headline - we are left alone!
Howard, the star of the team, is very determined, "Doubts from the outside world will become the driving force for us to move forward, even if everyone doesn't believe that the Magic can win, but we believe it!" Even if we don't have anything, we still have ourselves! As our name suggests, we are a magic trick in ourselves! Is there anything more beautiful than a big comeback? ”
whereamazinghappens! Warcraft's words made him instantly the pride of Orlando, and with the current difficult situation of Magic, Howard also has a bit of Hollywood tragic hero. It's just that although Hollywood has always had a happy ending, it is just a movie after all, and the NBA is a reality!
Howard's jump ball is still unavoidable, and the Magic have won the opening game for three consecutive games, the first two times they converted it into a score, but this time it happened.
"Oh, it seems that the pre-Warcraft oath didn't work very well, and the first goal of the opening game was tackled by the opponent."
Ariza made a steal and scored a dunk to give the Lakers the first time to score, 2:0. Despite the Monster's pre-match mobilisation, the Turk's emotions did not seem to have been affected by his teammates, and the shadow of the first two defeats still hung over his heart, and this pessimism managed to win a mistake for Turkoglou.
Howard was very angry, "Sido, cheer up, we have no capital for mistakes, Orlando needs your help!" ”
Tekoglu raised his hand in shame, signaling that he had understood his mistake. It was true that he had lost his mind just now, otherwise no matter how fast Ariza was, he would not have been able to break the ball out of his hand. "My, I'm sorry, I'll take notice!"
Lewis patted his teammate on the back, "It's okay, don't worry, we're going to win, this is Amway Arena, just like the previous reversal of the Cavaliers, we will definitely be able to beat the Lakers!" ”
Mr. Billion led by example, and in the next attack, he rarely tried to take the initiative. He had been confined by Odom's defense in the previous two games, and although he had a brief shining performance, he was still a lot worse than the previous series. Clearly, this one Lewis intends to make a change.
Accelerating the breakthrough, Lewis is slightly better than Odom in speed, even if he stumbles, but he finally entered the Lakers' interior line, but with this state, if you want to force a shot, you must not have hope, fortunately, Lewis has already thought of a back road for himself before the breakthrough.
After distributing the ball to Howard, he continued to move forward, went around to the other side, received the ball and threw his hand back. Howard's coverage was so good that Odom simply didn't have time to defend.
"Lamar, watch your footsteps, that guy seems to be active, don't let him shoot!" The assistant coach shouted at Odom from the sidelines that he was following the instructions of the old monk that the Magic would only be able to fight the Lakers if they fully unleashed Lewis' offensive ability, and Stan Van Gundy would surely be aware of that.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Lewis will change his style after returning to the home court, and Van Gundy will definitely ask his disciples to strengthen their presence on the offensive end, and if he blindly asks Howard, the 0:2 score is a lesson from the past. (To be continued.) )
