Chapter 323: Opening Block, Bogut
"Good! Then I'll bet on the Lakers......"
Barkley said subconsciously, but halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, which side of your bet do you say you won?"
"Warriors." O'Neill said rightfully, "What? Any questions? ”
"What do you say?" Barkley glared at O'Neal, "It was the dead fat man who blew the Lakers into the sky in front of the live broadcast room a month ago?" You beat the Lakers, and then you belittled the Warriors, and I didn't agree with you, so you swore to me that you were going to bet, and in the end you said you were betting that the Warriors could win the game? Shaq, I advise you to be a person! ”
"So what, I made it clear before that I was going to bet on the Lakers to win?" O'Neill laughed lewdly. "Don't tell me these things now, I'll press the Warriors, Charles, do you want to call?"
Barkley would love to say that I also crush the Warriors.
But if that's the case, the game won't be playable.
Originally, this kind of bet was a gimmick of the two commentators in order to make the game more interesting and attract the attention of fans, and someone had to go against it.
Now O'Neill has slyly reversed his position, and the matter has come to this, even if Barkley is unwilling, he can only bite the bullet. "In that case, then I'll press the Lakers!"
When he said this, Barkley was almost squeezing out between his teeth.
"Okay! Dear viewers and friends, and Kenny, now we need you to be a witness, the Lakers and the Warriors' Western Conference Finals series, which side wins the final victory, and the one of us who loses will have to play the women's clothing commentary game in the next live broadcast of the Finals. ”
"Okay." It's not a big deal to see the excitement, Kenny. Smith smiled and agreed.
In fact, this kind of diagonal play betting drama has been staged many times in the TNT studio, although it is already a little aesthetically tired, but the gimmick is really good, and it is enough to arouse the interest of many fans and viewers.
Women's live commentary on the NBA Finals, this is an unprecedented feat in the history of the league, and this brave man will surely go down in history.
……
The communication in the studio was in full swing, and on the field, the players of the two teams began to appear one after another.
The Lakers' starting line is still a combination of Rondo, Butler, Ingram, Wang Feng and Lopez.
On the Warriors' side, there was a slight change in the starting lineup.
All-Star power forward DeMarcus. After carrying two rounds of the playoffs, Cousins was still overwhelmed and injured again.
He was not injured in the game, but after the division semifinals, he accidentally sprained his knee in a daily training session, and the injury was still relatively serious, and he would miss at least three weeks, basically announcing that he would miss all the playoffs after that.
Without a main center, the Warriors had to sacrifice Andrew, who was almost lying on the coffin board. Bogut.
Bogut is no longer capable of adapting to high-intensity games, he is completely a pseudo-starter, playing on the court to earn a ball, and he will be replaced after a few minutes of casual play.
In the absence of Cousins, the Warriors have mostly let 2.06m forward Kevin Bush. Looney came to play as a cameo center forward, and although Looney's frame protection ability was poor, it was better than nothing.
The two teams jumped in the middle circle, and the Lakers' floor-flow center Lopez finally met an opponent who could be bullied casually.
Bogut and Lopez are similar in height, but they barely bother to point their toes on the jump ball, and they watched Lopez easily win the jump ball.
The basketball was quickly handed over to Wang Feng.
The Lakers' first offense is carried out by Wang Feng, which has almost become an unwritten rule for the Lakers, and in most cases Wang Feng can use superb offensive skills to successfully score offense.
This time is no exception.
Facing his old opponent Green, Wang Feng did not have the slightest lake, and directly served with the first step master badge, and his super explosive power instantly passed Green in one step and entered the inner line.
Bogut slowly greeted him with a pair of old legs.
Can Wang Feng get used to him?
For some reason that doesn't make it clear to say, Bogut is the player Wang Feng hates the most in the Warriors, even more so than Green.
However, due to the fact that Bogut's grade is already too low, it is rare to have the opportunity to compete with Wang Feng on weekdays, and now he finally seized an opportunity!
Wang Feng, who rushed to Bogut, jumped directly without dodging or dodging, and the 90 bounce made Wang Feng rise into the air, raised the basketball high with one hand, and slammed it in the direction of the basket!
"Boom ——!"
Wang Feng directly separated Bogut and dunked the basketball into the basket.
Fight the Terminators! Increase the success rate of players in dunks under confrontation.
Although Wang Feng's Matchup Terminator Badge is only the lowest bronze color, it is still effective, especially against Bogut, whose defensive level has dropped significantly, and the effect is excellent.
Just after the first goal of the opening game, Wang Feng instantly detonated the whole stadium with a bloody slam dunk, and the fans at the Staples Center cheered loudly.
Bogut staggered back in embarrassment, his face extremely ugly.
The whistle sounded at the same time as the dunk, which was a defensive foul, Wang Feng not only scored 2 points from the dunk, but also executed a 1 free throw.
Wang Feng stood at the free throw line, and Bogut was substituted off the court. Rooney instead.
After only 12 seconds into the start, he was substituted at the speed of light and was humiliated by a dunk, and Bogut deserved to start the game...... It's really profitable.
The free throw shot was steady, 3:0, and Wang Feng won a beautiful start for the Lakers.
The Warriors attacked, and the Lakers' defensive tactics against the Warriors still followed the same attitude as they did in the regular season.
Wrapping Curry, Wang Feng and Butler defended Durant and Thompson alone, and Lopez guarded the basket and strategically gave up the outside defense against Green.
Looney, like Green, doesn't even have as much outside shooting as Green, so he doesn't need to think about the other side pulling out to the perimeter.
In this case, Curry can't get rid of the double bag, and the ball can only be handed over to Durant.
In the face of Wang Feng's defense, Durant wisely did not choose to attack from the outside, but went around to the mid-range position, shot with his back to his back, and used the angle of his back to have the advantage of his height to pull out the shooting space.
However, Wang Feng's defense was timely, and he jumped very decisively, successfully activating the defensive shock badge and deflecting Durant's shot off the basket.
Switching offense and defense, Rondo rushed to the basket with the help of blocking and pick-and-roll, and scored a low-handed layup.
The current Warriors team is extremely lacking in rim protection ability, Green must always defend Wang Feng tightly, and Looney is simply not enough to support the defensive intensity under the basket.
In the final analysis, without Cousins, he took the initiative to let go of Pachulia, which put the Warriors into a lot of passivity.
