Chapter 9: Staples

That night, in the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, USA, the huge purple and gold wheat waves kept tumbling and surging, and as the game was about to start, the atmosphere at the scene was even hotter.

Looking at the 7 retired jerseys hanging above the arena, I can't help but sigh at the strength of the Purple and Gold Dynasty, the familiar names of Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Lakers godfather Jerry West are now hanging high above the arena, and now, under the leadership of the sharks, the Lakers are inspired to recreate the glory of the Johnson era.

This is Los Angeles, the City of Angels, which is the reputation that people give to this western city in the United States, the Los Angeles Lakers are the symbol of the city, not far from the center of Staples Arena is the famous Hollywood mecca, where is the center of Shijie film and television industry, it is the luxury of Vanity Fair, is the forefront of American fashion culture, the stars shine inside and outside the stadium, if you like American movies, then you should come to see the Lakers game, there is no shortage of Hollywood stars to come to cheer, of course, Among them, Oscar-winning actor Nicholson is indispensable, oh! He's a diehard Laker loyalist! He will always be in the first row of the Lakers, and if you want to award the Lakers' most loyal fan trophy, it is estimated that no one will dare to compete with him.

The Lakers have played well this season, with a 45-17 record that they don't have to worry about making the playoffs, and now they just need to win every game to make the playoff journey a little easier.

On the commentary bench, Noyce Eddie was a little nervous, this is the first time he has commented on the Lakers' game, there is no doubt that the Lakers are a traditional aristocratic team, this tradition can be traced back to when Chamberlain is still there, and now they have the OK combination They will not be afraid of any opponent, facing the Sacramento Kings who come to the door, the latter can only be trampled on worse!

"Add, you look nervous?" Commentator Mike Harris on the side teased: "Dear fan friends, let's give this guy a little more time to adapt, shall we?" ”

Harris's daxiao sound sounded in the arena, and Luo Yun, who was sitting behind the Kings players, looked at the No. 55 Kings jersey on his body, he originally wanted to come wearing a jersey signed with the name of AI, but this No. 55 jersey was given to him by Jason after all, and he didn't want to embarrass Jason, but it didn't matter, because he was about to be flooded by the Lakers' sea of purple gold!

Not far in front of him, a good-looking middle-aged man is laying out the tactics for the players, Sacramento has played a decent season, they have Chris Webb and the "Yugoslav" duo and rookie guard Jason Williams, who were once called the most flashy and spectacle team in the NBA offense before the league, and today they will face the test of the fierce rival Lakers.

"Alright! Tonight's opponents are menacing, Adelman brings his Princeton system into the Kings, and he always flaunts his flashy offense, but in front of the ferocious Shaq, it's all a joke! "Mike Harris is undoubtedly a big fan of the Lakers, and if it weren't for Staples, he wouldn't have dared to say such a thing!

When Eddie heard this, he said noncommittally, "I don't think so, did you see the No. 55 of the Kings?" He's amazing with his passing, Harry, I'm betting a hundred dollars, this guy is going to have double-digit assists tonight! "Eddie admires Jason very much and can't help but cheer him on.

"Noyes, are you talking about the No. 7 pick from the Kings?" Harris patted the table, looked at the Lakers' locker room and said, "Our Peter Pan is going to make him suffer tonight!" ”

Luo Yun rubbed his ears, it was too noisy here, Daniel on the side was flirting with a girl, as if he had just met, and he seemed to be an Englishman from the accent!

"Don't forget they also have Stojakovic, who has a very good three-point shooting percentage on the left and right baselines!" Eddie seems to have forgotten that this is the home court of the Lakers, and his commentary made the Lakers fans present start to make noise, what kind of guy is this from, what does he want to do!

The two commentators are unrelenting, they are still in the mountains, if Luo's father is present, he will definitely suggest that they go to China to talk about cross talk, what a condescension!

However, just when Xiao Luoyun was waiting impatiently, the lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, and with a long sound, the Lakers players began to appear, oh my God! Let's see, who they are, wow, what a star, Fisher, Robert Horry, Rick Foxx and of course our Peter Pan Kobe!

The fans began to get excited, whistles and shouts seemed to be about to stab the Staples Center arena, and the Lakers fans were undoubtedly one of the most Haode fans on Shijie. Luo Yun came to Staples for the second time at this time, and the last time the Lakers won, he liked this atmosphere, all the eyes were on them, which made Luo Yun very envious.

The little guy also seems to have a crazy factor in his heart, which can be seen by yelling at him for the Lakers wearing the King's jersey.

Getting back to business, the Lakers are in full swing right now, their OK combination has scared the league's teams, and they have recently won three in a row and are in the limelight in the entire West! Okay, you're saying that the guys at Yancheng Lake don't agree, I admit that the Jazz are the favorites to win the championship this year, and it is estimated that only the Joe gang leader can suppress them!

With the shouts of the fans, the burly shark walked out of the locker room with a bully step, and the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly reached its peak, and the sound of shouting Shaq was endless, making people feel difficult to breathe.

With the referee's whistle, the game begins, and look! O'Neal, the big fat man, actually skipped Divac, and Fisher, the little fish that received the ball, quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and then moved outside the three-point line, opposite him was the Kings' rookie Jason Williams, the white guy played well in his rookie season, averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game, which is undoubtedly good news for the newly formed Kings.

Fisher held the ball at the top of the arc, he took advantage of Kobe Bryant's time to come up to cover, and instantly passed the ball to Robert Horry who was standing on the bottom line, and at this time, the big shark O'Neal was already in position, and Chris Webb behind him was clinging to his big ass, and our king didn't dare to slack off, because this fat guy was so terrible.

Robert Horry squatted slightly, ready to jump, oh my! Is this guy going to shoot a three-pointer? The answer was no, and after Robert deceived his defender, Stojakovic, he hoisted the ball straight into the inside.

Only a "bang" was heard.

After receiving the ball, the inside shark went into a daze, ignored Chris Webb's defense, and smashed the ball into the basket!

The fans are boiling, if you ask them their favorite offensive means to see, the first is the three-point shot, the second is the dunk, and the shark's dunk is even more talked.

"Oh my God! Noyce, what I saw, Shaq slams Chris's head! Harris was excited: "He's so strong, look at Chris's depressed expression, kid, you better go home and play ball!" Harris's commentary amused Lakers fans.

"Jason, give that big guy a look!" Daniel yelled beside Luo Yun, was he expecting his friend to take on the shark? Brain broken!

Luo Yun was very aggrieved in his heart, he wanted to applaud the shark's dunk, but he was surrounded by fans of the Kings, don't look at him as a little guy, if he opened his mouth, he would be regarded as a traitor. "Jason! Come on! Luo Yun's words seemed very weak in the crowd, but the surrounding fans of the king seemed to hear Luo Yun's cheering and nodded to him, the little guy's courage was commendable.

Chris Webb is 2.08 meters tall and weighs about 110 kilograms, he is the soul of the king, and he is angry at Shaq's humiliation, and he hands Jason a look, as if to say buddy, I want to get back on the field.

The ball is back in the hands of the Kings, Jason Williams is about 1.85 meters tall, and Fisher's poor defense is better than nothing for him, what is the Princeton system, in layman's terms, is that the strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong, the essence of this style of play is "human movement, ball movement, coordination." "Man-to-man refers to moving without the ball, cutting in the air and running back, and ball movement refers to constantly passing and sharing the ball.

Teammates started to cut and run, trying to pull open space for Jason, good guys, let them see what offense is, the Kings are the top offensive players in the NBA, and Shaq is just too rude.

I saw Jason bow slightly, step forward with his left foot, and his shoulders trembled slightly, so that Fisher couldn't figure out which side he was going to break through, however, after suddenly shaking a shot, he instantly burst from Fisher's right side, and the speed was incredible.

The Flyer didn't expect this white rookie to have such a smart pace, the moment he passed Fisher, he had already hurried over to make up for the defense, and now Kobe Bryant is not the one-on-one marking master in the league, although the reaction is fast enough, but Richmond blocked the way forward, only to watch Jason Williams hit the inside line like lightning!

The Lakers' defense is tightening like a tide, and although Jason has even connected the two, don't forget that there is still the shark guarding the basket waiting for him to get into the tiger's mouth, and as for Robert Horry, that guy is still dreaming!

Jason was hailed as a player who was both practical and entertaining as soon as he entered the league, and his terrifying passing awareness and skill surprised all scouts, but it was a spectacular scene today.

"Chris!" Jason shouted, swinging his left hand back slightly as he broke through, a very subtle gesture that looked like a normal swing during the dribble.

Chris Webb heard Jason shouting and knew what he was going to do, and then his eyes suddenly blinked, this bad boy, do you want to fool people again? But I still have to cooperate with him to perform this play well.

Jason burst under the basket and didn't flinch in the face of the fierce defense, jumping high and making a move to prepare for the layup.

"You want to lie to me!" Shark hey, air relay? These rookies like to play this trick and let Lao Tzu teach you the first lesson of the NBA.

"Oh! You see, Noyce, that white man actually wants to go to the basket, is he a shark ornament? Harris Daxiao said: "However, I admire his courage! ”

Eddie just wanted to defend Jason, but saw another scene, and now it depends on what Harris, the old guy, has to say.

Jason jumped high, Chris made a gesture of preparing to jump, it looked like an air relay, it must be cool to dunk on the shark's head, is Chris going to avenge the arrow just now? But the answer is clearly wrong.

After seeing Jason make a pre-pass pose, he suddenly twisted around like a twist in the air, and the basketball in his hand flew into Stojakovic, who was waiting quietly at a 45-degree angle.

"Three points in the open space!" Add jumped up from the podium.

I only heard "Wow! With a bang, the basketball was arrested!

However, unlike the noise of Staples, in the Georgeville neighborhood under the night sky, on the stone bench outside the garden of the Luo family, Jessica drooped her little head, her two little feet kept shaking back and forth, and muttered in her heart, "Isn't he home today?" Why don't you come out to see me at this time!

Could it be that he was angry because he went to Disney with his parents today?
