The next night, 7 o'clock.

Staples Center Arena.

The Grizzlies played first.

Milicic, Gasol, Li Lei, Hill, Lowry.

The Lakers then played.

Centre: Kwame Brown.

Power forward: Kevin Garnett.

Small forward: Luke Wharton.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Defender: Derek Fisher.

The game is about to begin.

The two teams started the logo area and stood in the area.

Garnett passed by Li Lei.

Facing the media, Garnett, who praised Li Lei, changed his face directly, and said with a sneer: "Come here and get dead?" Ready to lose by 30 points tonight? ”

Li Lei didn't care.

He's long been used to it, Garnett on the court and off the court is never the same person.

Off the court, Garnett has always been sensible, albeit a bit aloof, but acceptable.

But once on the court, Garnett will be a little crazy, and trash talk has never been a bottom line.

For example, once upon a time, Garnett said to Duncan at a game close to Mother's Day, "Happy Mother's Day, greetings to your mother for me!" ”

It is known that Duncan's mother died the day before Duncan's 14th birthday.

At that time, Garnett was scolded by the fans and was finally forced to apologize.

Then there's the Garnett and Yi Jianlian thing.

Garnett relied on the old fritters to spray trash talk on Yi Jianlian, and used all kinds of small actions.

Don't look at Yi Jianlian's taciturnity, but he really didn't coward, and at that time, he directly returned a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

As a result, Garnett was anxious, and wanted to complain to the media after the game: "Yi Jianlian's action is too big!" ”

Yi Jianlian only replied at the time: "The action is not big, what kind of ball do you play?" ”

There was also the later Anthony bus blockade incident.

Garnett told Anthony on the court: "Your wife tastes like a doughnut. ”

Anthony was about to beat Garnett when he was stopped by the referee, who thought he had escaped.

Who knew that Anthony directly blocked the bus of Garnett's team after the game, forcing Garnett to bow his head and apologize.

……

NBA players, there's nothing wrong with you talking trash talk.

Larry Bird and Michael Jordan pretend to be so much on trash talk.

But you get involved with other people's families at every turn, it's really bottomless.

So Li Lei is not used to Garnett at all: "Anyway, I won't lose 58 points!" ”

Garnett's face changed at that time, and he had a posture of wanting to start with Li Lei if he didn't agree with him.

Li Lei looked at Garnett's appearance, but he didn't panic at all.

Garnett is known to only have a powerful mouth......

And Li Lei wished Garnett could do it first.

In this way, his royal bodyguards "Boxer" Milicic and "Wang Ba Boxer" Zhu Fangyu can open.

However, Garnett's face changed, and after a few seconds, he actually held back.

Scold!

And so it was.

"Tonight, I'm going to make you cry out of Los Angeles!"

Garnett continued to speak harshly.

Li Lei glanced at Garnett: "58 special!" ”

Garnett: "I'm going to blow you up and get you a single-digit score!" ”

Li Lei: "58 special! ”

Garnett: "You're going to die a terrible death!" ”

Li Lei: "58 special! ”

Garnett: "......"

Aren't you going to say that?

Just when Garnett thought that Li Lei would continue to say "58 special", Li Lei changed to trash talk.

"Is there doping in Kobe's poop? Just licking his ass twice gives you the courage to call me? ”

Garnett: "......"

This is really insulting.

But no man can bear it.

Garnett was annoyed and angry, and he was really going to do it.

Li Lei was overjoyed and quietly clenched his fists.

Who knew that Kobe Bryant sensed the conflict between Li Lei and Garnett, and immediately came over to stop the two.

"Kevin, just use basketball to solve things on the court."

Bryant urged Garnett.

Li Lei knew that he would definitely not be able to fight, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Kobe, you are really troublesome." But yes, if you really fight, Garnett may not suffer, but you must be unlucky. ”

There's a famous NBA saying that says, "Maddie never lost a fight, Kobe Bryant never won a fight." ”

Kobe Bryant in the No. 8 period was also young and frivolous, and he did it if he didn't accept it.

It's a pity that every time there is a fight, it is the side that suffers, and it never takes advantage.

On the contrary, looking at the skinny Maddie who has no two taels of meat, her combat power is really strong, she has never suffered a loss in a fight, and she is a winner every time.

The referee also noticed the movement here and came over to give Li Lei and Garnett a warning.

Only then did the riots subside.

However, the fans who watched the game were excited!

"Damn, before the game started, Li Lei and Garnett started!"

"it! Get dry! ”

"Hit! If you can fight, don't BB! ”

……

Fans are really watching the excitement and it's not a big deal.

In addition, there is also a "scum" in the commentary group.

Tonight, TNT is in charge of the national live broadcast.

The commentary team is also an old friend, the golden partner of Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Kenny Smith.

Barkley has always watched the excitement and not think it was a big deal: "Oops, why didn't Stone make a move, a downpercut, and Garnett's monkey body was instantly wasted." ”

Barkley's mouth is really big, and he has no scruples in speaking.

But Reggie Miller and Smith were keenly aware of some minor problems.

As we all know, Old Miller is a staunch "lime" and will always support Li Lei.

Barkley is different, he doesn't hate Li Lei so much, but he has never been a supporter of Li Lei.

But tonight, he said the sentence just now completely from Li Lei's position.

This change in stance was suddenly felt by Smith, who had been with Barkley day and night.

Could it be that Barkley was conquered by Li Lei's performance?

It's not that simple.

Even Michael Jordan back then had a hard time convincing Barkley.

With Li Lei's current achievements, it is impossible for Barkley to convince him.

That being the case, the reason is simple.

Barkley did not support Li Lei, but did not support Li Lei's enemies.

Who is Li Lei's enemy?

Kevin Garnett!

Barkley loaths Garnett?

Why?

Miller Sr. and Smith couldn't really guess for a moment.

……

But in any case, this conflict between Garnett and Li Lei before the game made fans extremely excited.

Before the game even started, the two blew up.

Once the game starts, isn't it Mars hitting the Earth?

Everyone knew it was going to be a tough battle.

The three referees who were on duty for the match inadvertently wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and they could already predict how difficult the game would be.

They must go all out and not dare to relax for a second, otherwise something big may happen.

Didi!

As the whistle blew, the much-anticipated Lake Bear battle finally began.

Milicic leapt to his feet and flicked the ball over Kwame Brown's head back to his own half.

Lowry advances with the ball.

Just arrived at the frontcourt, "Old Fish" Fisher suddenly put pressure and went directly to the body to fight.

Lowry is a very strong type with a strong upper body, but it is definitely inferior to Fisher.

Fisher dared to stand up to James' presence.

Lowry obviously suffered a loss, protected the ball in embarrassment, and looked for Li Lei as soon as possible.

But at the moment when he passed, Kobe Bryant suddenly came out of the diagonal stab and stealed!

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The Staples Center Arena blew up in an instant.

It was just a steal, but the Los Angeles fans were excited as if they were about to climax.

From this, you can see how much Los Angeles fans expect from the Lakers and how much enthusiasm they put into them.

In the live studio, old Miller had something to say.

"The Grizzlies rely too much on Li Lei, and their first reaction when they encounter difficulties is to find Li Lei. This habit is especially severe for a few junior players. It doesn't matter if you meet an ordinary opponent, but in the eyes of a top defender like Kobe, it's simply a flaw. ”

Smith nodded, "yes!" I still like Lowry, a young man, who dares to fight and works hard enough. But he must keep in mind tonight that he has Kobe Bryant and Garnett as two top defenders on his opponents. The Lakers have been the most efficient team defensively this season. The moves he usually makes against other people turn into mistakes when he encounters the Lakers. ”

After Kobe Bryant's steal, he played a fast break while looking at the whole court.

After discovering that Fisher's chances were better, Bryant didn't hesitate to pass the ball with a ground-and-ground pass.

Fisher dribbled the ball and went straight to the basket.

But at this moment, a figure fell from the sky and slapped the basketball that Fisher had just thrown on the rebound.

Grizzlies No. 15, Li Lei!

Pegboard hat!

After landing, Li Lei relied on his height advantage to win the basketball from the top of Fisher's head.

Fisher glanced up at Li Lei, didn't dwell too much, and obediently chose to defend.

Li Lei gave the ball to Lowry and comforted: "Don't worry, play slowly." ”

Lowry received the ball, and he felt a lot more comfortable because of the mistake, and his heart was settled.

Lowry dribbles forward.

Up front, Fisher continued to put pressure on Lowry.

Lowry felt uncomfortable, but with the experience of the previous round, he managed to distribute the ball to his teammates.

The Grizzlies began to patiently pass the ball, looking for opportunities.

However, it wasn't just Fisher on the Lakers' side, the intensity of other defenders was also high, and the Grizzlies' passing was not as fluid as usual.

It feels like you're training on the track and it's easy to take half an hour and 5 kilometers. But during the race, you find that the venue is in the water of the swimming pool, and every move is extremely difficult, let alone half an hour and 5 kilometers, and 1 kilometer is difficult.

That's the defensive suffocation that the Lakers bring to the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies don't have a lot of fluidity in passing, and it's naturally difficult to figure out opportunities.

After passing the ball around, the Grizzlies didn't find a chance and almost missed the ball.

CCTV's side also discussed the Lakers' defense.

Zhang Weiping guided: "It is worthy of being the team with the first defensive efficiency in the league, and the strong sense of suffocation is too uncomfortable." You say that this Lakers team is the best defensive team in NBA history, and I have no opinion, at least no worse than the 03-04 Pistons. ”

Su Qun recalled: "The Pistons in the 03-04 season? The one that gives the opponent points at every turn.,The perverted team that occasionally lets the opponent only score 50 points.。

Mr. Zhang, why do I have a feeling that everyone on the Lakers team is very good defensively, including Fisher, Kwame Brown, and even Luke Wharton. What I know very well is that they are not that strong individually. ”

Zhang Weiping thought for a while: "I feel this way too. In fact, the explanation is very simple, basketball is a team sport after all, if you are teammates with Kobe Bryant and Garnett, and then there are people to help you defend and supplement the defense, then you can put pressure on the opponent with impunity. See Fisher? Did he dare to defend Lowry like this before? Lowry could have passed him with a single acceleration. But now, Lowry sees Kobe Bryant on Fisher's side and Garnett behind him, and he doesn't dare to break through. ”

The Grizzlies passed the ball back and forth, but never found a chance, and seeing that 24 seconds were coming, they still handed the ball to Li Lei.

As Miller Sr. said, the Grizzlies rely too much on Li Lei, and they will involuntarily look for Li Lei when they have difficulties.

Li Lei held the ball, glanced at the time, and suddenly received a false blow after dribbling the ball under his crotch continuously.

Wharton didn't expect Li Lei to be so unhurried in the last few seconds, so he jumped up directly and was deceived by Li Lei.

Li Lei took the opportunity to pass Wharton and made a mid-range jumper.

However, I don't know when, Kobe Bryant approached and made up the defense in time to put pressure on Li Lei's defense.

Li Lei's ball was interfered with and his shot was missed.

Bang dang!

Garnett jumped hard, protected the backcourt rebound, and handed it to Fisher.

Fisher is familiar with books such as "Tool Man" and "Emotional Intelligence", and when he arrives in the frontcourt, he hands the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant faced Hill and started with continuous feints, but failed to fool Hill.

The 35-year-old Hill has been plagued by injuries, but miraculously retains most of his athleticism, which, combined with his experience, has caused Bryant a lot of problems.

Bryant didn't choose to force a shot as he did in previous seasons, but instead handed the ball to Garnett, who was at the free-throw line.

This is the tacit understanding between the two supergiants.

Kobe Bryant failed to make a move at the first time, and Garnett had already answered the past.

Bryant, who ran off the ball, ran past Garnett, and Garnett handed the ball to Kobe with a ground-hitting pass, and also blocked Hill who was chasing the defense.

Bryant stepped into the paint area and rose straight to the ground.

Milicic and Gasol jumped up at the same time to block Kobe.

Bryant dodged the two with a big pull rod in the air, followed by a difficult negative angle layup.

Bang, boom!

2：0！

This is pure personal ability.

Even Director Zhang Weiping sighed: "Oh, Kobe Bryant is really amazing!" This ball will definitely not be scored by ordinary people, but this is Kobe. ”

Kobe Bryant, who landed on the ground, looked extremely relaxed, without the slightest excitement of completing a difficult goal, and meticulously returned to defense.

But the Los Angeles fans at the scene were so excited that they couldn't do it, and the cheers continued.

Looking at this scene, Li Lei's pressure doubled.

The tacit understanding of Kobe and Garnett feels like they have been playing for several years.

But in fact, this is only the tenth game they have worked together.

Is that what a superstar is capable of?

There is no need for too much running-in at all, just relying on personal ability, you can burst out with an effect that ordinary players can never play.

Grizzlies offense.

Li Lei took the initiative to ask for the ball this time, advanced to the front court by himself, and observed the Lakers' defense.

Defending Li Lei was Luke Wharton.

NBA legend and ESPN commentator Bill Wharton's own son.

For Wharton Jr., Li Lei is still quite impressed, they are from the same draft.

Li Lei is the 15th pick in the second round, and Wharton is the second pick in the second round, and both are standard No. 3 picks.

Wharton's physical talent is average, but his basketball IQ is exceptionally high.

Rumor has it that he came to play in the NBA to gild, and then retired to become a coach.

The Lakers' overall defensive strategy tonight was to press the Grizzlies at every point.

But Wharton just let Li Lei take a small step, which can not only limit Li Lei's shooting space, but also interfere with Li Lei's breakthrough in time.

Wharton's mind is very clear, Li Lei is not an ordinary player, and if the pressure on him is slightly inappropriate, it is self-defeating.

In addition, Kobe Bryant also put Hill half a step smaller, close to Li Lei, and can help defend at any time.

Garnett under the basket is also close to Li Lei's line to the basket and can snipe at any time.

……

Hehe, the Lakers put 60% of their defensive focus on Li Lei.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson was prepared.

And very well prepared.

If your opponent has the league's leading scorer last season, and a super scorer who has just scored back-to-back points this season, you'll do the same.

It's just that the average team doesn't have the defensive strength of the Lakers, and once it targets Li Lei, it is easy for Li Lei to find an opportunity to mobilize his teammates.

But the Lakers do.

They have the confidence to focus on defending Li Lei while limiting the rest of the Grizzlies.

Li Lei saw through the Lakers' defensive intentions at a glance.

He knew that he couldn't single-handedly take on the Magic and 76ers as he did in the first two games.

He has to mobilize the abilities of his teammates.

He will only have a chance to win if he has enough support from his teammates.
