Chapter 71: [Is it a rehearsal for the finals?]
Sushi didn't leave Los Angeles with the Knicks, and he didn't play in the final preseason game.
He has more important jobs.
He made an appointment with Jessica Alba and Megan Fox for a coffee.
Fawkes has had experiences with Scarlett, so she's very easygoing. Jessica still couldn't let go, they went shopping together in Beverly Hills, and then went to the movies together.
A lot of paparazzi were tracking and shooting, and Suhi didn't have any cover.
On the contrary, everyone thinks that there is nothing to be bored, and being above board will not arouse suspicion or bolder conjectures.
However, Suhee had a more daring move, he put his arm around Jessica in the movie theater, he made Jessica sit on his lap, and then, he turned around and planted strawberries for Fox.
Then he started talking about the engagement ring on his left hand.
He has no scruples and is very honest about the fact that he will enter the marriage hall with a Chinese girl who is also his business partner.
He expected some reaction from them.
However, he was very open.
This is Suhi's way of dealing with it.
He doesn't want to use deception to solve the problem.
He wants to establish the principle of peaceful coexistence, to create a family culture of mutual affection, and to build bridges of communication.
Suhey's way of communicating is primitive.
Suhi chartered a large hotel at the Hilton Hotel, where he held a three-day meeting.
…
When the Knicks returned from a win in Denver, they reached a winning streak.
The cooperation between Fox and Jessica has also reached the point where it is perfect.
This gave Suhi an unprecedented sense of entrapment, and he even sometimes felt a little overwhelmed when they were working together.
But this irritated Suhi.
Suhi's super offensive skills were thus fused to 97.
Last season, Suhi had already evolved into a super singlesman.
Now, his understanding of offense has reached an even more incredible level.
97。
With Suhi's physical talents, he can fully exert the offensive ability of the peak Kobe Bryant 98, and with his other skills, his offensive destruction on the court will reach an unprecedented level.
At the same time, the discussion about the Knicks has become more and more intense.
The Knicks won all of their preseason games, but there was a 'worry' in the media. They put themselves in the Knicks' shoes and said that the Knicks became an offensive team, and they were concerned about the Knicks' ability to withstand pressure when they hit an interior team.
After all, last season's Knicks' Jerome James, Tony Barty, and Eddie Curry were all very tough insiders, although their individual strength was not strong, but they played a vital role in the Knicks' lineup.
Now this season has become Randolph, David Lee, Channingfry, Millsap and other offensive interior players who are not good at defense, can they hold the penalty area?
These concerns come and go.
In fact, this is another way of questioning.
It's just that they don't dare to do this, what if they are caught and slapped in the face by Su Xi again?
So, they're looking forward to the Knicks and Lakers showdown.
Because Yao Ming is the No. 1 interior player in the NBA.
At the same time, there are also a lot of scandals around the NBA's second interior line.
Pat Riley was swept out of the tournament by the Knicks in disgrace last season and vowed never to return to coaching. According to media reports, he has lost faith in Shaq O'Neal and is looking to trade O'Neal to start a new round of rebuilding of the team.
This is very much in line with Pat Riley's style of opening and closing, employing people forward, not backwards.
In the summer of 2004, he offered O'Neal a five-year, $100 million contract. Now, the contract is clearly negative, O'Neal's weight proves that he doesn't want to continue to challenge for championships, and the Heat's roster is falling apart.
Therefore, trading O'Neill became a highly feasible decision.
At the moment, many teams are chasing O'Neal, and although O'Neal still has fifty or sixty million contracts left, O'Neal is still a worthwhile option for teams aiming to challenge for a championship.
The most intense of these is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have been working hard since being swept in the Eastern Conference finals last season.
After LeBron James suffered a series of heavy blows, it is rumored that he has been improving his skills throughout the offseason, and even went to Olajuwon to learn the big dream footsteps of a $100,000 course.
Olajuwon gave him a high evaluation, and I don't know if he will come up with super achievements in actual combat.
For Suhi, James' improvement in strength is a good thing, and he even wants James to get stronger and stronger.
This way, the NBA will not be boring. He is also happy to see O'Neal join the Cavaliers.
And, he thinks O'Neal and James' combination will be more lethal than O'Neal's and Wade's combination, provided O'Neal can return to the form he did last season.
At this time, the game between the Lakers and the Knicks began.
The game attracted a crowd full of fans, and the Los Angeles ball market has always been lively. After Yao Ming joined this season, it drove the Lakers' box office revenue.
On the one hand, it is because there are many Chinese communities in Los Angeles and the surrounding cities.
On the other hand, it is because Los Angeles Lakers fans have high expectations for the combination of Yao Ming and Kobe, and after O'Neal left, Kobe Bryant gradually reached the peak of his career.
Everyone knows very well that as long as he is given a super inside lineman, he will definitely be able to lead the team to take off.
Now, here comes this man.
Yao!
Looking at the basketball world all over the world, there is no one more suitable for Kobe than Yao Ming.
Tonight, the Lakers are packed with celebrities on the sidelines.
A lot of big-name stars came to watch the game.
The most beautiful scenery is Vanessa, Jessica Alba, and Megan Fox sitting in a row.
The tickets for all three were taken by Kobe.
Alba and Fawkes both look red and have extremely delicate skin. After they finished fighting with Suxi, their skin became better and more delicate, and there was no such graininess and roughness as white women.
This is one of the reasons why they are so obsessed with Sushi.
Vanessa obviously didn't expect that she would sit with Suhee's rumored girlfriend of the two little sheep, and what she didn't expect was that these two people who should have been tense actually held hands intimately and drank a drink together.
When did they get this better?
Can something so personal be shared?
It seems that many rumors on TV are fake, and Suxi the Sheep looks so upright, how can he fall in love with many female stars at the same time as the gossip media rumored?
That's not his style.
Kobe Bryant should really learn from him.
At this time, Kobe Bryant said to Sushi on the court: "Jack, you want me to get tickets for your two girlfriends?" ”
"That's right."
"How did you do that? They didn't even quarrel? Oh my God, they're still drinking the same drink. God, are you ......?"
Suhi smiled.
He didn't answer.
But it seems that there is an answer.
It's just that Kobe Bryant doesn't believe it.
Backbite!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The starting lineup for the New York Knicks is: Kyle Lowry, Suhi, Stephen Jackson, David Lee, Zach Randolph.
The starting lineup of the Lakers is: Smash Parker, Kobe Bryant, Luke Wharton, Lamar Odom, Yao Ming.
Syllable!
Yao Ming jumped the ball and beat Randolph easily.
Parker dribbled across half court and Kyle Lowry met him, aggressive defensively.
Sushi encouraged him to be aggressive and asked Gary Payton to teach him defensive skills.
Kyle Lowry was bold when encouraged, and he allowed Parker's dribbling acceptance to be disrupted.
He hurriedly passed the basketball to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant pulled a single Suhi.
Suhi followed the defense, but was still deceived by Kobe's shake to deceive a trace of defense, Kobe Bryant's backward jumper, and Suhi's block was a little worse.
Kobe Bryant threw the basketball directly into the restricted area, Yao Ming received the basketball, turned around and completed the dunk.
Randolph did not resist Yao Ming.
But he soon sent the basketball to Lowry, Lowry received the basketball and ran forward, and arrived at the front court after a while, he quickly rushed in, was stopped by Kobe, he bumped it, did not crash away, passed to Suxi, Sushi dodged into the penalty area with the ball, jumped up, Odom did not dare to block, and watched Suxi complete the violent dunk.
The opening scene is two Chinese attacking the basket.
The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were extremely excited.
This is the pinnacle showdown.
And the TV's Reggie Miller said bluntly: "This is likely to be a preview of this year's Finals, and I have a gut feeling that the Lakers can make it out of the West." The Knicks still dominate the East. ”
"I disagree on that."
Larry Brown didn't hesitate to stand across from Miller.
He's become an official TV analyst for ESPN, even though his face was pinched by Suhi and looked swollen last season. But that didn't prevent him from getting a long-term contract with ESPN. Because he is indeed very professional and has a high status in the circle.
Although because of Suhi, he was used as a reverse light when commenting on Sushi and the Knicks.
But that's what ESPN wants.
ESPN has a bad relationship with Suhi, and this year Suxi was once again absent from ESPN's espy. Suhi's agent arrogantly told them: "If you don't apologize for your previous remarks about Suxi, we won't attend any of ESPN's ceremonies, and we will even refuse to answer ESPN's questions." ”
O'Connor was so arrogant.
Faced with the basketball god Jordan, he has never restrained his temper, and you don't expect him to have a good face on ESPN.
So, this season, the battle between Suhi and ESPN continues.
Larry Brown has also been offered a long-term contract, and he will continue to stand opposite Suhey.
"The Knicks are a big weaker team than they were last season, and I don't think they're going to make it out of the East. Although the Lakers have been strengthened by Yao Ming, they are not outstanding in other positions, and they may not be able to beat the Spurs..."
Larry Brown's exuberant analysis.
His tirade contrasted sharply with the brilliant offense and defense in the game.
The cooperation between Kobe and Yao Ming is very exciting, and the cooperation between them is indeed like a fish in water.
Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming are both 'classical', and Phil Jackson's tactics are very suitable for them.
They are very efficient in attack and defense.
The inner and outer dual-core play is interpreted to the extreme.
At the same time, the Knicks' attack firepower was also fierce, and they hit pure run-and-roll.
The two sides come and go, do not give in to each other, and divide each other.
The score alternately grows.
The first quarter ended: 32:31.
The Knicks, who are playing away, lead by one point.
However, viewers who know a little bit about the ball know that the Knicks are leading because they feel good and they play more chaotically.
The Lakers, on the other hand, are purely high-end tactical output, and their offensive firepower is fierce.
Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant complement each other well, and bring Lamar Odom and Luke Wharton very well.
If it weren't for Parker's cheating dad and always burning the CPU, the Lakers would be even stronger.
After Su Xi finished the first quarter, he deliberately came together with Yao Ming when he got off the court, and he asked Yao Ming: "Da Yao, how does it feel to play with the Lakers?" Cooler than in rockets, right? ”
Yao Ming nodded.
That's true.
Although Maddie and Kobe Bryant were once called peerless duos, Maddie even surpassed Kobe Bryant in Adidas' mind. Maddie is also considered to have stronger organizational skills than Kobe.
However, playing with Maddie is really not as comfortable as playing with Kobe.
Bryant is more determined to attack, he likes to gnaw hard bones, and will pass the ball to Yao Ming when necessary.
and is also willing to help Yao Ming pull away from the defense.
There was Kobe Bryant standing on the side, and he didn't dare to flank at all.
Yao Ming is naturally comfortable to play.
In fact, the main reason is that Maddie's dedication to the game is not as high as Kobe's, and Kobe's focus makes it easier for him.
Maddie's laziness is more comfortable for himself.
When Suhi passed by the audience on the sidelines, she specially greeted Jessica and Fox.
High-five them separately.
At this point, Reggie Miller said on television: "Those who talk about Jack being a playboy should wake up." If he was really a playboy, how could he be so open-minded and high-five two female stars? And let them sit together, not afraid of fighting? ”
"The truth of the matter is that Jack simply doesn't have time to fall in love, he's been training intensively. That's why he's evolving every season. ”
"He didn't play a lot of singles in the first quarter, but you can clearly see that he's sharpened his offensive skills with a lot more precision, and I think a lot of his skills are already masters of it. Even his back singles just now, I can't see any difference between him and Kobe? Even I think he's more threatening than Kobe. ”
"Because Kobe Bryant's passing is not as good as his, and his physical strength is not as good as his."
Reggie Miller sang the praises of Sushi on TV, as always.
He doesn't mind ESPN's overall stance in the slightest, he's just going to say what he wants to say.
This is also an important clause of his cooperation with ESPN.
ESPN kept him, and in fact hoped to use him to repair relations with Suhi.
It's just that from the current situation, this probability is very low.
Suhi returned to the bench, and Isaiah Thomas suddenly said, "Jack, maybe we should push the running and shooting a little bit crazier, we have to let the Pacific Division know that we are the best team at running and shooting." ”
Suhi raised his head, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Isaiah Thomas to be so supportive of running and bombing.
Isaiah Thomas smiled, and his mental activity was: I also want to be a super offensive master who is also Zhuang and harmonious.
