"RIP (Hamilton): Are you sure your nose is okay?" Mo Wen looked at the bull warrior with a new mask... Oh no, it was Hamilton who asked with concern.

The advice given by the team doctor was that Hamilton was safer to continue the race, but Hamilton did not allow himself to be absent.

"I'm not going to miss a game against that guy, or that bastard can taunt me for a whole year." Hamilton adjusted the pure black mask in front of him, he originally wanted to customize a Batman mask, but the rules of the alliance did not allow it, so he had to give up.

There are only two head-to-head games against Kobe Bryant a year, and he has to get it, even if he doesn't consider the needs of the team.

The fate of Hamilton and Kobe Bryant began in high school, the two have been competing with each other since they met in high school, fighting openly and secretly, and you are fighting to the death, and at McDonald's high school basketball training camp, the two were also assigned to a dormitory, and they competed for a summer vacation, and since then the two have formed an entangled "bad fate".

Hamilton, who entered the NBA three years later than Kobe, suffered a loss in his rookie season, and in the previous eight meetings between the two, the team's wins and losses were five or five, but in terms of statistics, Hamilton has been pressed by Kobe Bryant.

Don't look at Hamilton usually looks like a good old man, but he is also a man who also has a desire to win in his blood, and every time he meets Kobe, Hamilton's desire to shoot will become very strong.

Of course, Kobe Bryant is the same, every time he meets Hamilton, he shoots 20 balls to warm up first.

"By the way, Mo, you're showing me how to use that "One Yang Finger" even if you have it, teach me a little more, I'm going to try it on that dog thing when I get back, Kobe's shameless bastard gave me an elbow when he played, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet. ”

"Since Malone sprained his knee in December last year, the Lakers seem to have fallen into an injury swamp, starting with Karl (Malone), then Shaq, then Kobe, Shaq came back for two games and rested again, Kobe Bryant was going to come back but injured his hand again because of moving, do you feel like God doesn't want to see the Lakers four stars get together." In the Lakers' studio, Barkley talked eloquently in front of the camera.

"No, no, no, I think that's to be expected, Malone is now 40 years old, many people at his age are grandfathers, O'Neal is not young anymore, just like the interior in the league has to face his domination in the restricted area, O'Neal has to start to face the injury problem caused by his weight." Kenny Smith refuted Barkley's "Manifest Destiny Theory."

"As for Kobe, all I can say is that there are more headaches for him than injuries right now."

Kenny Smith shrugged his shoulders at this, and several people in the studio laughed heartily.

"Oh, let me go back to this game, Pistons and Lakers, two teams in the top East and West sequences meeting for the last time this season, what do you two think?" Sitting in the middle of the studio, Ernial Johnson drew the attention of the chat back to the two teams that were already warming up on the field.

"I don't have any opinion, the Lakers have been plagued by injuries and inconsistent results for a while, but today's Lakers are the Lakers of the whole team, and although the Pistons have performed very strongly after acquiring Rasheed Wallace from the trade, they still have some distance from the strong teams in the West."

Buck said very objectively, and this is also the opinion of most people, that a healthy Laker (unless Kobe Bryant is on top) is invincible.

"I'm not optimistic about the Pistons either, they've started to suffer injuries lately, the starting small forward is injured, and it's just a first-year ... Newcomers, Hamilton also suffered an injury two days ago, although he can play in this game, but it is not known how much he can play. ”

Kenny Smith made a rare mistake in not refuting Barkley's words.

"Eh, by the way, Charles (Barkley), do you want to make a bet?" Kenny Smith suddenly thought of something and said indiscriminately.

"Bet? What to bet on? ”

If you want to bet on Barkley, you won't be sleepy, his gambling addiction is no less than that of Boss Joe, after retiring, he often went to Las Vegas with Jordan to be happy, and later blew himself up and probably lost more than 10 million dollars there (but there were some wins).

"Bet on whether the Pistons' No. 3 starter can score more than ······ today. 15 points. Kenny Smith raised an eyebrow, but the application was still pretending to be very calm and calm.

"Yes, I bet... He could. Barkley responded crisply, but Kenny Smith's face froze when he heard the words.

No, that's not how the script is written.

"Hahaha, crumbs Kenny, do you really think I don't know who the Pistons' starting small forward is right now?"

"Mo Wen, China's first swing man to land in the NBA, the No. 58 pick in this year's draft, he had a good performance when he was a substitute before, and recently he averaged more than 16 points per game in the first few games after he started the game, and he was already the third scoring point of the Pistons, and he scored 24 points in the first two games, becoming the ninth rookie to score 20 points this year."

"Count me with the players you've already played, Kenny, you're regressing."

Looking at Kenny Smith with a stiff face, Barkley, who was like a treasure, came to a tactical backswing very proudly.

After Mo Wenti took the start, he conquered the domestic fans who could only see the data and highlights with only a few games, and Stern also saw the opportunity and began to continue to tilt media resources to Mo Wen.

Although Mo Wen is still just a pseudo-starter with ordinary data, in the recent NBA official media promotion, there is no less, what "China's first guard", what "the most inspirational end show", what "the counterattack of ordinary talented players" various labels are pasted on Mo Wen's face

Barkley also watched the live broadcast of the Pistons and Nuggets game two days ago, and Mo Wen on the court gave him a deep impression, the silky offensive skills and the elastic and sticky posture on the defensive end made Lord Ba look at the chrysanthemum tightly, which is also too familiar, and Aunt Susan next door doesn't have such good skills.

"Ha, now that you know, why don't you bet on Yao a year ago, and bet on whether he can get 19 points?" Kenny Smith is also very thick-skinned, and he is not embarrassed to be exposed when his careful thoughts are exposed, so he naturally shifts the topic to the gambling game again.

19 points, this is not an easy score to get, Mo Wen's defensive players in that game against the Nuggets were very average, and the overall defensive level of the Nuggets was also from the middle and lower reaches of the league, which led to the outbreak of his game.

In the rest of the games, Mo Wen's score is also highly related to the opponent's defensive level, and he doesn't seem to be an offensive player, Kenny Smith is betting that Mo Wen's score will definitely decrease accordingly under the Lakers' first-class defense.

Barkley touched his chin.

Last year, Yao Ming averaged only a single digit in points per game before he played the Lakers, and Kenny bet on it, and Mo Wen averaged more than 15 points per game, so what can't be bet on.

"Bet! What are you betting on this time, or the donkey? ”

"No, no, no, let's change the tricks, whoever loses will be taken off their pants and spanked ten times in front of the camera?"

"Kenny, do you have any special fetishes about ass, and people won't laugh at you if you say it."

"You just say bet or not!"

"Bet!"

At a different time, in the same place, a new bet was born.

······

The referee blew the whistle, and the basketball that flew into the sky was easily photographed by Rashid, and O'Neal didn't even have the idea of jumping.

Once the ball was in the hands of Billups, Payton defended it head-on.

Payton took a pay cut to join the Lakers and reduced his ball possession a lot, focusing mainly on the defensive end, but as he got older, the 35-year-old was a little ineffective against Billups.

Billups is watching his teammates' movements and looking for Peyton's flaws.

Hamilton made a double staggered cover with Mo Wen, and then made another cover by Big Ben, who was standing on his waist, and successfully threw Kobe Bryant away from the defense.

Billups, who had been watching, didn't need Hamilton to beckon, and a through ball that came out just right at the back didn't allow Hamilton to adjust and smoothly pull up and shoot after receiving the ball.

The belated Kobe Bryant didn't have time to interfere, so he could only symbolically wave his arms.

"Cut~"

Hamilton, who hit the shot, let out a defiant chuckle.

Hamilton's off-ball movement is a real historical level, and his grasp of running space, the choice of blocking paths, and the ability to catch and shoot the ball make Miller able to compete with him in this era.

Kobe gritted his teeth and began to ask for the ball after halftime, but Payton didn't give it, he was the only point guard in Kobe's career who dared to nag hard, and Payton also had this capital.

Payton leaned against Billups and pulled out the space with a veteran back dribble, squeezed Billups and broke through to the inside, and did not panic after being re-wrapped by Billups in the three-second zone, and after a back-to-back posture with a 5x speed "left and right Mustang mane, mane, and mane" shook so that Billups couldn't judge the direction of his frame, and smashed the ball to the neck of the basket before Mo Wen assisted, and the rebound was hugged by Big Ben nearby.

Peyton frowned and shook his hand, which was a little cold at first.

Looking back, Billups also returned the favor to Payton, taking advantage of Rashid's cover and bursting inside, and successfully sending the basketball to Payton with a backhand layup to avoid Payton's interference.

Because of the large number of veterans, the Lakers do not like to play fast break like regular Western teams, but play turn-based games with the Pistons one by one.

Both teams showed a very high level of defense in the first half of the first quarter. The cheers of the Lakers fans on the sidelines were lively, but the eight minutes of scoring of the two teams on the court combined did not have 20 points.

"Ha, Charles, I think your plan is going to fail, this game is destined to be a defensive battle, and it is not certain whether Kobe Bryant can score 19 points, let alone Mo."

Kenny looked excited, and the match turned out to be a defensive battle just as he expected.

"When will you be able to watch the whole game in the first quarter, let's take your time." Barkley also muttered a little in his heart, but the gamble was all bet.

The Zen master frowned on the sidelines, and although the Lakers didn't look behind, they had actually fallen into the rhythm of the Pistons.

This kind of defensive battle is no less than the strength consumed by the fast attack, and the Lakers are both veterans and fat, so they don't have to start in the fourth quarter to collapse.

The most important thing is that the efficiency is not high, and there is no time to break the score difference.

He called a timeout and replaced Payton with the old fish.

Payton has not been able to adapt to the triangle offense since he came to the Lakers, mainly because his three-point shooting is not accurate, and the pitcher who makes him a triangle wing is often a clang.

When Payton was on the court, he either played blocking and dismantling with Malone, or several stars took turns to play singles based on their individual ability, but the five starting shots were not stable enough, and the so-called pulling singles would often encounter packs.

After the old fish came on the court, the Lakers, who started a triangle offense, were really much smoother.

Billups' single defense pressure became smaller, but he didn't dare to help defend easily, and Fisher relied on three-point shooting and long-range shooting to eat.

Mo Wen can help defend but the defensive range can only take care of one side, Kobe Bryant was looked at by Hamilton very deadly, but the big shark under the basket is cool.

Although O'Neill has a tendency to decline from the peak, his strength, weight, height, and even skill are not something that Big Ben can bear alone.

Big Ben is a top-tier help defensive player, but his innate disadvantage in individual defense cannot be concealed.

However, Big Ben is not without advantages, he has a strong and tenacious mentality, no matter whether he succeeds or not, every defensive attitude and effort are full first.

Although O'Neal forced two big Ben and caused a foul later in the first quarter, O'Neal didn't play easily.

Rashid, who couldn't make up for the defense in time, made Larry Brown roar a few times and cheered up, and O'Neal tried to attack twice but was deflected by Rashid's interference.

Mo Wen didn't have much presence in the first quarter, the Zen master didn't let his guard down on him because Mo Wen was a rookie, and Devon George, who could barely become a 3D player, got the order of the Zen master and worked hard to make no one look at him, just wanted to exchange one with him.

Because his teammates were all starters, Mo Wen didn't think about coming up to grab the ball, and later Larry Brown considered Devin George's lack of offensive ability, and replaced Mo Wen with a better offensive Coliss later in the first quarter, which didn't improve the team's offense much.

After the first quarter, the Lakers 25:20 Pistons, the Lakers led by a small 5 points.

Just when Barkley thought the bet was a bit mysterious, Mo Wen erupted in the second quarter.

Devin George is serious on the defensive end and quick on his feet, but his explosiveness and confrontation can be described as ordinary.

Mo Wen is a player whose body can't crush him, and with experience, it can't be said that it is easy to beat him, and it can be said that he is at ease.

In the case of the other Pistons starters who were replaced and rested, Mo Wen shot 7 of 10 shots, and directly pulled up Kobe Bryant, who was resting on the bench.
