This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 96: "Small Kobe"

The Lakers are basically unchanged from last season.

   The only change is that they finally sent away "Reaper may kill his own core" Parker, and ushered in the veteran "Old Fish" Fisher.

   But in essence, even with the peak Kobe, the Lakers are still on the edge of the playoffs.

   In ESPN's prediction, they lined up next to the Nuggets, but the two teams are close in strength.

   However, this is what ESPN considers to be a game that is "pecking each other", but it has a lot of attention.

   Here in the United States, Golden Double Gun VS Pinnacle Kobe, there is no need for publicity at all, star-studded!

   On the domestic side, the fans were a little excited after watching Yi Jianlian’s debut yesterday, and they naturally looked forward to Lin Ying’s debut.

   After all, from the performance of the preseason, Lin Ying is more stable than Yi Jianlian!

   Of course, at this time, Kobe's popularity in the country is also extremely explosive.

   Only one year away from the classic "10-second lens" of the Olympic Games in history!

   81 points in a single game, and two consecutive seasons of crazy scoring, picturesque style, Kobe's domestic popularity has surpassed Tracy McGrady.

   The attention of this game is no less than the previous Asian Championship finals, and it is also comparable to the Rockets playoffs.

   The day before the game, the Nuggets arrived at Staples Center.

   The team arrived in the morning, and Karl only arranged training in the afternoon.

   When they were training, they attracted the attention of many media reporters.

   Lin Ying also experienced the scene where reporters were waiting for the first time after the mad three and four games.

   And, obviously more.

   Carl looked a little unhappy.

   If the reporter is there, he can't arrange tactical training.

   The opening game is very important to all teams, and he does not want to expose his tactics to his opponents before the game.

   But he couldn't drive away these reporters.

   So in the end, he could only be on the sidelines with a straight face and let O'Connor lead the team to do basic training on the court.

   After the training was over, the reporters rushed forward.

   Iverson and Anthony were all surrounded by reporters.

   But besides that, there is Lin Ying.

   There are many Chinese in Los Angeles, and they have tried to choose Lin Ying through a deal before. The media here is also very concerned about Lin Ying.

  It's a good thing to be followed, but the reporters in Los Angeles are all well-versed and not so easy to deal with.

   "Lin, do you have any plans to play for the Lakers in the future?"

   comes up as death torture.

   "Lin, do you think Kobe or Anthony has a better chance of becoming the MVP of this season."

   This one is even tougher.

   "Lin, will you play better than yesterday's Yi?"

   is another death multiple choice question.

   "Lin, do you think the Nuggets will be the stronger team tomorrow night?"

   There is really no problem, it’s easy.

   Lin Ying turned up the minutes of the meeting six months ago.

   The above is a sample of Rick Barnes’ answers when facing reporters’ questions.

   "I only care about the game in front of me. This is my NBA debut."

   "Your question is like asking me who is more like a tough guy, Dawn Johnson or Jason Statham."

   "It depends on how much playing time the coach gives me."

   "I think our looks are better."

  ……

   Rick Barnes is not a celebrity coach in the NCAA, but he really taught Lin Ying and Durant a lot.

   In this wave of response to the media, Lin Ying can say that it is not leaking.

   Then, these reporters became a little bit unconvinced, and they seldom were so "embarrassed" by rookies.

   So I never stopped asking questions, and other reporters also heard the news.

   As a result, the interviews between Iverson and Anthony are over, and he is surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

   This scene also showed the two big guys for a while.

   Similarly, they haven't seen this battle in the NBA for so long.

   "He is very popular."

   Iverson rubbed his nose with a smile.

   Before the Asian Championships, he had a good impression of Lin Ying, and the more he knew about him, the more interesting he found Lin Ying.

   Anthony didn't speak, his expression looked a little weird.

  ……

   At the end of the interview, Karl came over and drove the group of reporters away.

   He knew that Lin Ying had to practice more at night.

   "You have to learn to refuse."

   After driving away the reporter, Carl said.

   Lin Ying nodded.

   In fact, he also wants to refuse, but after going through this journey, he knows how difficult it is to use these media.

   At this point, he still admires James a bit.

   Sure enough, too popular is not a good thing.

  ……

   That night, he went to the Staples Center training hall for additional training.

   What makes him a little unexpected but reasonable is that Kobe trained there earlier than him.

   When two people face each other, Kobe smiles and tells him to warm up first.

   The first time, because I have no experience, I might be a little embarrassed.

   But the second time, I will be familiar with the road and it will be very smooth.

   Lin Ying and Kobe's heads-up is like this.

   After the basic training is over, the two people started heads-up.

   This time, although Lin Ying still can't do Kobe, the pressure on Kobe on both ends of the offense and defense is obviously greater.

   When the game was over, Kobe suddenly felt a little melancholy.

   It was also the first time Lin Ying saw this expression of him, although it was the second time he saw Kobe.

   "Mickey told me that he did a lot of hard work, but in the end it didn't work."

   Kobe is talking about the draft.

   Iverson has a good impression of Lin Ying because he saw himself in the past.

   Kobe looked at Lin Yinghui differently because he saw his shadow on the training ground.

   Then, after he really felt Lin Ying's progress at this moment, he did have a little regret that the team did not choose Lin Ying.

  Because he knows that Lin Ying, who is as training mad as himself, will definitely play out in the end.

   "That may be because he didn't work hard enough."

   Lin Ying thought for a while and said.

   Kobe was taken aback, his emotions were in place, but Lin Ying couldn't help laughing.

   You are so showy.

   But he nodded.

   There is nothing wrong with this. If Bynum weren't regarded as a treasure, the Lakers were already on their way to the championship last season.

   He wouldn't be still working as a "nanny" for Bynum.

   If Kupchak hadn't asked Jerry West out in the summer and promised to find him a helper before the trade deadline, he would have really gone to Chicago.

   Even back to the draft, Kupchak used Bynum to go to the Bobcats for the 8th pick. Would that man not agree?

   When you get the No. 8 pick, the Nuggets should be the dumbfounded.

   is not working hard enough, this is actually quite right.

   The two chatted for a while.

   Lin Ying suddenly remembered the last time Kobe pulled his own training in the middle of the night.

   Just like he would finally ask who Durant Rachel is, his curiosity is still quite heavy.

   So taking this opportunity, he still asked.

   "Does that matter?"

   Kobe did not answer directly, but instead asked Lin Ying.

   "It doesn't seem to be very important."

   Lin Ying thought for a while and nodded.

   "You don't have much time, don't think about unimportant things."

   Kobe said and motioned Lin Ying to get up and continue heads-up.

   It is impossible for him to say that it was because his teammates had been harassed by him, and they all consciously turned off their phones.

  ……

   Match day.

   The Nuggets conducted a closed tactical training in the morning.

   After the training was over, Karl also announced the start of the first game.

   Iverson, JR Smith, Anthony, Martin, Nene.

   The purpose of Karl Smith's first appearance is to prevent Kobe.

   The veteran Adrian Griffin was originally from the Bulls, and he was used as a starter to defend against the opponent's arrow characters.

   Griffin is a defensive champion in his career. He has followed the Mavericks to the Finals and performed well on the defensive end.

   It's a pity that he was injured during the training camp, so he had to use Smith.

   He can't let Carter go to match Kobe, or let Anthony take care of offense while defending Kobe, right?

   After training and returning to the locker room, Smith looked a little excited.

   He also came to the Nuggets last season, and when he first came he was a stable starter.

   But not long after Iverson came, he became a substitute, and he couldn't go back to the starting lineup.

   There is a lot of difference between NBA starters and substitutes, especially since this year is still his contract year.

   If he seizes today's opportunity, maybe he will be the starter in the future!

   "JR, I was ready to play off and defend against Kobe, but if the coach arranges for you, you have to cheer."

   Anthony said and patted Smith on the shoulder.

  Only when I have played with Kobe too much, do I know how terrible Kobe is.

   Although Smith is with him, he still needs to be reminded.

   "Don't worry Merlot, Kobe and I are 50-50."

   Smith is confident.

   Anthony rubbed his head.

   Smith is good at everything, but his brain is not very good.

   "I can do whatever he can, and I can do better than him for dunking. He is just Kobe, not the real Michael. I will be able to fix him soon."

   Smith saw Anthony's reaction and thought that Anthony didn't believe him, so he immediately followed.

   "I'll take a shower first."

   Anthony said nothing, got up and went straight to the shower room.

   Lin Ying couldn't help but glance at Smith more.

   JR, it's you as expected.

   And just now, he unconsciously translated the content of Smith's words, which can be roughly summarized into this sentence:

   Kobe, just go and return!

  ……

   On the night of the game, the Staples Center attendance rate exceeded 80%.

  Although the Lakers have not had a good record in the past two years, Los Angeles is already a metropolis, and Kobe is enough for the second time!

   In addition to the Golden Double Guns tonight, the three super giants are gathered together. It is hard to think that the popularity is not high.

   Of course, because of Lin Ying, a lot of Chinese fans came tonight, including female fans.

   The number of Chinese in Los Angeles is not comparable to Austin.

   They held up Lin Ying's poster, don't ask why it wasn't a big KT board, they didn't think it was worthy of Lin Ying's appearance.

   When the warm-up was over, the on-site photographer also gave Lin Ying several shots.

   Lin Ying’s popularity in Los Angeles is a little bit high.

   And because of the large number of shots, some fans noticed that Lin Ying's first show was wearing Adi’s Tmac-3.

   When the warm-up is over, the starting lineups on both sides will be released.

   The Nuggets are the same as Carl announced before.

   On the Lakers side, Fisher and Kobe are the old partners on the outside, Luke Wharton and Odom on the front, and Bynum is the center.

   The game started right away, Bynum and the inner inner circle jumped the ball.

   Lin Ying sits on the bench in a training suit.

  The seating position of the NBA bench is very particular.

   Generally speaking, the head coach and assistant coaches sit at the positions closest to the technical table, which is convenient for quarreling, oh no, protest.

   Then the coach used to be the starting five-man team, and then he moved up to the side in the order of rotation.

  The marginal man basically sits in the position closest to the basket, and sometimes even sits on the ground if there is not enough space to sit.

   Lin Ying was sitting next to the starting position.

   This represents Carl's trust in Lin Ying.

   Although you can't make a starter, you are now the sixth person.

   "Beep!"

   The whistle sounded on the field.

   Lin Ying also looked at the court.

   This is the first time he has watched a game in the NBA. This position, the viewing angle effect is full, and it is indeed VIP.

   No, when the Lakers jumped and got the ball, Fisher advanced to the front court to play a triangle offense, Wharton pulled the corner, and Kobe was in a good position.

   Then as soon as he looked up, he saw Kobe hitting Smith on the back, the kind of details that could be seen in the movements and even facial expressions.

   Smith's defense is not bad, especially at this stage of his career.

  Although his defensive consciousness is not particularly good, his physical condition is not good enough to stand up, and he is not slow in his steps with confrontation and arms span.

   It's just that he is facing Kobe.

   Anthony wanted to double-team, Kobe made a fake pass to the bottom corner to force Anthony back, then turned his head and looked at the three-point line, Iverson was a little away from him, and he turned directly and broke through.

   Turning too fast this time, Smith staggered a bit.

   But anyway, I just stayed with me.

   But just when he thought he was following, Kobe made a jump shot.

   is beautiful and picturesque.

   "Huh!"

   Basketball hollow pocket.

   There are a billion points of cruelty.

   Lin Ying was not idle either. He watched and wondered how could Kobe make his shots uncomfortable just now.

   Playing off the bench has the advantage of playing off the bench, so you can be fully prepared before going on the court.

   Korate scored first here, but Anthony quickly responded by facing Wharton with a three-threat shot.

   Then, Kobe VS Smith in the second round.

   This time Smith turned against Kobe to the free throw line.

   Then Kobe was even more straightforward, feigning a turn around and leaning back to the bottom line for the iconic!

   Smith fought hard, and then Lin Ying saw the remake of Jordan.

  True·I will make a move when you fall.

   "Huh!"

   In the opening two consecutive games!

   Kobe feels pretty good tonight!

   Smith felt a little uncomfortable now.

   Defensively shoots you out, Defensively shoots out, don’t play like that!

   Then, the offensive and defensive conversion ~www.NovelMTL.com~ He wanted to respond. It was originally a tactical transition. He received the ball directly from the three-point line and shot it.

"when!"

   The iron strike is crisp enough.

   Lin Ying turned her head and glanced at Carl, and found Carl reached out and rubbed his forehead.

   Coach should now, probably regret letting Smith start!

   Odom grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Lakers directly pushed the defensive back.

   deserves to be Lin Ying's template, Odom's pass went quickly, and the Lakers quickly hit the Nuggets hinterland.

   Fisher took the ball in the middle and broke through the flank to follow up with Kobe.

   Kobe catches the ball and makes a fake move, and then rushes to the basket with the ball.

   This time Smith showed his excellent physical response ability to keep up.

   But Kobe's determination to break through was much more determined than he thought, and the two of them went to the basket in a blink of an eye.

Then……

   "Boom!"

   Kobe suddenly jumped up, confronted sideways in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand through Smith!

   and Smith jumped up and was called a defensive foul!

   Fast break 2+1!

   Good guy, Kobe at the pinnacle, terrifying!

   Karl finally couldn't sit still, got up and called old Carter.

   Lin Ying recalled what Smith said in the locker room at this time.

   He suddenly felt that Smith should not be called JR Smith, but JR Huacai.
