Chapter 44: The Toronto Raptors challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away

Lakers fans are clearly full of confidence, and even though the game hasn't started yet, most fans think deep down that the Lakers will be able to beat their opponents at Staples Arena at home.

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak also came to Staples Arena to watch the game, and many big-name NBA celebrities also came to watch the game.

Kobe's old friend Iverson also came to the scene, dressed very hip-hop, and sat in the first row of the arena.

Yao Ming also came to the scene today to watch the game of his little brother Lei Lei, and the fans shouted loudly when he appeared.

Soccer superstar David Beckham is playing in the major leagues and whenever time allows, he always comes to Staples Arena to watch Kobe Bryant play.

Kendall Jenner and her number one best friend, Emily Ratakowski, were also on hand to watch the game.

The number of people watching the live broadcast of this game in China has also reached 40 million!

Wang Meng and Li Ke commented on the game as hosts and guests.

On the barrage of Penguin's live broadcast, most fans were cheering for the Lakers and Lei Lei.

'The Lakers must win!' ’

'DeRozan and Kobe, look forward to it!' ’

'I really want to go and watch the game!' ’

'Sneak a peek at the game in class!' ’

Players from both teams came out of the tunnel one after another.

Kobe Bryant was the first to play, and when Kobe Bryant played, the entire Staples Arena erupted in applause!

Everyone was chanting Kobe's name.

As the last player to play in the Lakers, when the DJ on the scene chanted Lei Lei's name, the arena once again erupted into enthusiastic shouts!

The sound is close to Kobe's appearance!

Fans in Los Angeles love this Chinese kid more and more, and treat Lei Lei as their own child.

It is said that the Lakers picked up ready-made superstars from other teams, and Lei Lei can be said to be the only rookie in the past 20 years who has not been traded and selected by the Lakers themselves.

Although Kobe Bryant was also selected, the sign was that of the Hornets. (It was called the Hornets at the time, but later renamed the New Orleans Pelicans, and in 2014, the Bobcats officially announced that the team was renamed the Charlotte Hornets.) )

Raptors starting lineup:

PG: Lowry, SG: DeRozan, SF: Demar Carroll, PF: Luis Scola, C: Valanciunas.

Lakers starting lineup:

PG: Clarkson, SG: Kobe, SF: Lei Lei, PF: Randall, C: Hibbert.

The starters from both sides walk to the center circle and prepare to jump the ball.

Wang Meng explained: "Today Da Yao also went to Staples to watch the Lakers game, Lei Lei and Da Yao talked and laughed on the sidelines before the game, it seems that the relationship between the two is really good, today there are actually a lot of Chinese students at the scene, we can clearly see a lot of posters made of Chinese characters in the stands, and there are also many American fans wearing Lei Lei's No. 23 jersey." ”

"Now Lei Lei has almost become the second biggest star of the Lakers, and when Kobe Bryant retires, Lei Lei will be the star of the Lakers!"

Li Ke also expressed his opinion: "Well, indeed, in terms of the role of the team, Lei Lei has become the strongest scoring point of the Lakers, Lei Lei's current average points per game is the first in the Lakers team, the first in the rookie list, and the league has surpassed Curry to the first position, and Lei Lei has been recognized by most Los Angeles fans, but he still has to lead the team to play results!" Fight for the playoffs! ”

The whistle blew and the two sides prepared to jump the ball, and Hibbert won the Lakers the first offensive possession of the game.

Clarkson came to the half court with the ball and passed the ball to Kobe, the Lakers are very tacit, as long as they play at the Staples Arena at home, when Kobe Bryant plays, the Lakers' first offense will always be handed over to Kobe, unless Kobe Jean gives the ball to Lei Lei.

Bryant faced DeRozan on the wing, and the two of them faced each other in the first attack.

Everyone knows that DeRozan's idol is Kobe, and once DeRozan participated in Kobe's training camp when he was in high school.

Kobe Bryant caught up with DeRozan before the game, but still said to his fans: "Even if I'm old, you still can't stop me." ”

DeRozan did not respond to Kobe's words, after all, he was depressed and didn't like to talk much.

Bryant faced DeRozan's tight defense on the wing and dribbled to the left side for a one-step jumper.

DeRozan defended well and caused interference for Kobe.

'Bang-'

Kobe Bryant opened with an iron.

Valanciunas jammed Hibbert for a defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Lowry.

Lowry was extremely fast after receiving the ball, and in the face of Clarkson's defense, Lowry used his flexible feet to easily break through to the inside.

Lei Lei, who returned to the defense, immediately stepped forward to wrap the clamp, and Lowry felt Lei Lei's assistance in defense, and stopped the middle distance when Lei Lei had not yet arrived.

'Brush-'

The basketball hit the basket steadily and counterattacked, helping the Raptors score the first point

2:0

Lakers ball possession.

Clarkson came to the front court with the ball, and this time he didn't pass the ball to Kobe, but handed it to Lei Lei.

After Lei Lei got the ball, the Chinese students and Chinese at the scene shouted:

"Lei Lei, come on!!"

"Lei Lei, you are the best!"

"Lei Lei beat the defenders on the opposite side!"

"Lei Lei, you are the future !! of the Chinese men's basketball team"

When these words were spoken, Yao Ming, who was chatting with Iverson, suddenly turned around.

Which international student felt Yao Ming's gaze and immediately shut up.

Yao Ming smiled and gave a thumbs up to which international student.

The Chinese fans saw that they had been recognized by Yao Ming, and their voices were louder!

Lei Lei faced Demarie Carroll, who just signed a big contract this year.

Demar Carroll defended very well, and quickly got up to the front after Lei Lei won the ball on the flank, trying to use his power to force Lei Lei to pass the ball and take advantage of the opportunity to steal.

But Lei Lei is not the first Lei Lei now, after nearly a month of competition, the gold coins harvested plus the player training system, and his own training in reality, the strength is no longer a chick, but has reached the top of the league average.

Lei Lei broke through to the right after three threats, and Carol immediately used his agile feet to block.

Lei Lei quickly stepped back to open up the shooting space, and made a sharp stop and shot backwards.

Carol's bounce was average, and it didn't interfere with Lei Lei.

'Brush-'

Basketball goes into the net.

Lowry came to the half with the ball and played by himself.

Valanciunas stepped forward to block it.
