Chapter 197 Against the defending champion
On the evening of January 1, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Attendance at Staples Center remains strong tonight.This is a well-known big city in the United States, Los Angeles, the city of angels, sitting in Hollywood, so the popularity of the ball market is natural.
Even if the Clippers have a bad record, when they play home games, the attendance rate is not bad, let alone the defending champion Lakers.
The Lakers currently want to have a record, a superstar to have a superstar, and a topic to talk about. Even if today's opponent, the Kings, is just a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Western Conference, it still attracts a large number of fans to watch the game.
In the interview before the game, when the reporter asked Kobe if he would defend Xie Kai in this game, Kobe said with a smile: "Kane is a young man with great potential, and I am looking forward to playing against him. Of course I am not It would reveal too much, Mayfair has a good game plan and we will strictly follow the game plan."
Xie Kai was also interviewed, and he said: "The Lakers are the defending champions. They are extremely strong. There is no doubt about it. Kobe is an MVP player. What I have to do is to make him play as uncomfortable as possible. We A challenger, hoping to play Kings-style basketball here!"
Among the fans at the scene, there were many yellow-skinned and black-haired Asians. Obviously, many of them came for Xie Kai.And Chen Guixiang and others were among them.
Los Angeles is the most developed city in the entertainment industry in the United States, so celebrities and socialites often appear in the Staples Center, which is difficult for teams in other small ball markets.
No, actor Jack Nicholson was sitting in the first row on the sidelines early, waving to the camera!
China's CCTV5 broadcasted the game live, and the commentators for the game were Director Zhang Weiping and Teacher Sun Zhengping, who are authoritative in domestic commentary.
"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, today CCTV will broadcast an NBA game for you. The two sides of the game are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. Today we invite the commentator Zhang Weiping, the former head coach of the national men's basketball team. !" Sun Zhengping spoke in a tone that made it easy to recall the past, back to the time when black and white TVs were in the 90s.
"Hello, audience friends in front of the TV!" Director Zhang smiled kindly, reducing the coldness in winter.
Sun Zhengping asked: "Director Zhang, what do you think before the game between the Lakers and the Kings?"
Zhang Weiping began to talk: "The championship team of the Lakers, the background is there, it is not comparable to the Kings. When the 'OK Group' and Webber competed for the Western Conference championship, the competition was really fierce. But now it's different, the Lakers are the defending champions, and the Kings are a rebuilding team.",
"Who do you think is likely to win?" Sun Zhengping asked.
Director Zhang said with a smile: "Anyone has the possibility to win, and anyone has a chance in a basketball game. It's just that the Lakers are strong and they have Kobe. They are hard to beat!"
"Zhang's guidance is that Xie Kai of the Kings will face off against Kobe without accident. What do you think of this matchup?" Sun Zhengping asked.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Xie Kai, this guy is very good, he plays very much like Kobe. But he is still too young and inexperienced, so naturally he cannot compare with Kobe. I think this is a good opportunity for him to compete with the league. The best players play and can learn live!"
According to the signal from the front, the two sides have already given the starting lineup list for this game.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Lakers at home is: center - Andrew Bynum, power forward - Pau Gasol, small forward - Lamar Odom, shooting guard - Kobe Bryant, Point guard -- Derek Fisher.
The Lakers' starting small forward Ron Artest fell at home and missed the game.Facing his old club, he might not really want to fight.Of course, an injury is all the more reason to be absent.
The average height of this lineup of the Lakers is very scary. The height of the two towers is more than 210cm. Odom who plays the 3rd position has a height of 206cm. Except for the old fish who is slightly shorter at the 1st position, almost all other positions have a height advantage.
Originally, the Lakers had another Chinese player, Sun Yue, but it is a pity that the fans could not see the two Chinese players competing on the same field this time, because Sun Yue had been cut by the Lakers on August 2009, 8. Lost.
However, Sun Yue's one season with the Lakers was not in vain. Together with the team, he won the NBA championship in the 1-2008 season.He himself also has a championship ring, and this is an honor that even Yao Ming has never received.
离开湖人后，孙悦在2009年的9月18日与纽约尼克斯队签订了一份部分保障的合同，遗憾的是在10月8日他就被球队裁掉。
The starting lineup of the Kings in the away game is: center - Spencer Hawes, power forward - Jason Thompson, small forward - Omega Casspi, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - Ben Nou delhi.
The height of the Kings is also terrible, and the twin towers are over 210cm. Casspi, who replaced Nocioni in the starting lineup, is also a representative of the tall small forward, with a height of 206cm. Their overall height is comparable to that of the Lakers.It's just that relatively speaking, their overall body shape is thinner than their opponents, and their weight and confrontation are definitely not as good as their opponents.
After all, Staples is Staples, the game has not yet started, the screams of the fans have already filled the place with a lively atmosphere.
Chen Guixiang was cheering for her son in the stands, and her voice was quickly lost in the cheers of other teams.She specially wore Xie Kai's No. 22 jersey today. Not only she, but also several people who came with her also wore the same jersey. In her words: "We want to cheer for A Kai!"
The appearance ceremony of the Lakers was quite powerful. After all, it is a championship team, and the players' confidence is not something that ordinary team starters can have.
The championship banner over the Staples Center made the players and fans very proud. This is telling the visiting team-this is a historically rich team!
The players of the Kings will not be so nervous, because they really have nothing to lose.With a lineup like theirs, wherever they play, it counts.The team didn't give them any goals for the season, and they themselves knew what they were up to.
The game will start soon, with Bynum and Jason Thompson near the middle circle preparing to jump the ball.
"Friends in the audience, the competition is about to begin, let's focus on this competition!" Sun Zhengping said.
At the start of the jump ball, Bynum gave the ball to Odom, who gave the ball to the old fish Fisher, and the game officially began.
