NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 130 Conquering the Alliance, starting with beating the first center forward! !

When coach Harris walked into the Lakers locker room again, he nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the players who were fighting against each other with murderous looks on their faces.

If you can do it without beeping, you must have this indomitable momentum!
Silver Fox Harris waved his hand, and the whole army attacked. Lin Hong was the first to stand up and walked into the arena.

Kobe, Campbell, Scott, Fisher, Da Ben and others followed Lin Hong and filed out into the player tunnel.

And the powerful Houston Mosaic, facing the menacing Los Angeles Lakers, rarely broke out unprecedented hostility.

The Compaq Center arena with more than 16000 people is undoubtedly full of seats tonight.

From the moment the Lakers stepped into the arena, there were explosive boos and abuse.

All kinds of ugly curses spread to the players' ears, but if their mental quality was poor, they would be scared to pee their pants as soon as they stepped on the court.

At the other end of the court, the players of the Mosaic team had already stepped onto the court.

The players headed by the big three, Olajuwon, Barkley and Drexler, are showing off dunks and fancy dribbles like no one else there, as if they don't take the Lakers seriously.

The sound like waves swept across the entire court, and Olajuwon, who was warming up, turned and glanced at his opponent.

He has heard a little about Lin Hong, knowing that this guy is this year's No. [-] pick, and has defeated his old opponents Ewing and Mutombo successively.

But for Olajuwon, he didn't take Lin Hong seriously. He is at his peak at the moment, let alone a rookie, even the other three centers who are as famous as him. Put it in your eyes.

Olajuwon warmed up on his own, he didn't regard Lin Hong as an opponent at all.

His opponent is only Michael Jordan, not Lin Hong, the rookie No. [-] pick.

Players from both sides warmed up on the spot. Lin Hong was warming up by shooting while observing the Rockets players.

As we all know, the Rockets in the previous life are definitely a hurdle in the hearts of fans.

Although this team eventually became a mosaic team, many fans have feelings for it.

Lin Hong carefully observes the Rockets players, but unfortunately, he only knows the big dream Olajuwon, the glider Drexler and the big mouth Barkley.

As for the other players, Lin Hong didn't know any of them.

"I don't know if there is a chance for Charles Barkley to kiss the ass of the donkey!"

Lin Hong thought in his heart, a Barkley who doesn't kiss the ass of a donkey is definitely not a complete Barkley.

If Charles Barkley knew Lin Hong's thoughts at this time, he would definitely beat him with fists.

Barkley is a very grumpy player, he is a ruthless person who dares to hug O'Neal.

Seeing Lin Hong staring at him, Fliggy Buckley walked over swaggeringly, followed by his hardcore brother: Mario Super Mario.

No, it's Mario Ellis.

"Charles, how does it feel to sign up for the group? But it's probably impossible to win the championship lying down!"

When Lin Hong saw Barkley, before he could speak, he opened his mouth wide to talk trash.

"Shut up, rookie! Don't you even have the least respect for your seniors? You will have such a day!"

Barkley raised his mouth and counterattacked: "Do you think you will not be kicked out by the team in the future? After all, you are an Asian, and one day you may fall directly to no team."

"You, who came to sign up for the championship, are not my senior.

For example, Hakeem is my senior, and so is Karim.

You are not qualified to be called my senior! "Lin Hong said murderously.

"champion?"

Barkley hugged Lin Hong over and said, "I have Hakim and Clyde, and I will definitely win the championship earlier than you, a damn rookie!"

"Hakeem? It's really a problem. Clyde? The plane is too old and the fuel tank is almost empty. It's time to retire!"

Lin Hong laughed loudly, not paying attention to Barkley at all.

"As for you? Have you solved your problem?"

Lin Hong countered: "My grandmother next door walks ten times faster than you!"

Although Barkley is 33 years old, he is still in good condition and is still the league's top power forward.

But Lin Hong's words still made Barkley very depressed, his throat turned up obviously, and after swallowing again, he directly changed the subject and said:

"I'm telling you kid! I'll single-handedly defend you later. If you dare to go inside, hey, Hakim will let you know what dominance is!"

After Charles put down his harsh words, he obviously felt that he had said about the rookie in front of him, and after his throat twitched again, he hurried away.

Daben's eyes lit up:
"This old guy is very arrogant. If he dares to do something wrong, I will beat him to death!"

Seeing Da Ben's excited face, Lin Hong has no doubt that this match will become a boxing ring.

In this young Lakers team, champion Lin Hong is the team's number one attacker and defensive leader, unstoppable.

Before this game, Rudy Tomjanovich carefully studied Lin Hong's recent game video, and he came to exactly the same opinion as other coaches.

Lin Hong has an unparalleled talent. His physical fitness and post-up skills make him difficult to defend.

But now Lin Hong has a weakness!
His offensive methods are single, and he doesn't have mid-range and long-range shots. As long as he deploys heavy troops inside and doesn't give him an easy shot, then Lin Hong has nothing to fear!
Mosaic's current configuration happens to be able to take out the twin towers of Barkley and Olajuwon to restrain Lin Hong's style of play.

Therefore, in this game, Rudy Tomjanovich is full of confidence!

He felt that nine times out of ten, he could lead the team to win this game and maintain a perfect start with a complete victory!

After all, the pressure on Tomjanovich this year is also enormous.

This summer, the team sent away the only two dynamic rookies in the lineup, Cassell and Horry, in exchange for Barkley.

The team's rotation lineup has almost collapsed. Except for the starting point guard Maloney, almost all of them are veterans over the age of 33.

If he can't make a breakthrough this year, then he won't be far away from get out of class!

Mosaic has no patience for waiting.

But Tomjanovich also knows that even if he can't win the championship, he must at least make it to the Western Conference Finals!

Tomjanovich even silently thanked the Spurs and Jazz in his heart, the two opponents in the Western Conference. If it weren't for them, he might not have thought of how to deal with Lin Hong!

The referee's whistle brought back Lin Hong's thoughts. He came to the jump ball position, looked at Olajuwon in front of him, sank his center of gravity, and let out a breath slowly.

Being able to face off at the peak of the four major centers is definitely the dream of every center.

Lin Hong held his right hand high, staring at the basketball in the referee's hands. Dominating the NBA starts with conquering the number one center!
"Dudududu!"

The whistle sounded, Lin Hong jumped up high with both feet, and Olajuwon on the opposite side also jumped up at the same time.

A pair of big black hands and a pair of big yellow hands flew towards the basketball at the same time.

Lin Hong's wingspan and jumping had an absolute advantage, although Dameng was not to be outdone, but in the end Lin Hong got the ball into the hands of his teammates!

Kobe received the basketball and quickly pushed forward.

Mosaic's point guard Matt Maloney stepped forward decisively to press.

But Kobe didn't even look at this guy, and dribbled the ball across the frontcourt with ease.

Matt Maloney is the Rockets' newly added undrafted pick this year, and he is the player with the most obvious shortcomings in the Rockets' starting lineup.

Kobe took possession of the ball and came to the top of the arc, while Lin Hong had already begun to fight Barkley in the interior. The two strangled in the paint area from the very beginning of the game.

"Charles, you are old, you are doomed to be a loser since you came to the rocket group!!"

Lin Hong stood in the paint area, firmly stuck in Barkley's position.

Barkley stepped forward and used his invincible big butt to withstand Lin Hong, but it turned out that he couldn't squeeze it! !
"Fack, this guy's strength and weight..."

Barkley suddenly remembered the fat O'Neill he met.

Before meeting Lin Hong, Barkley always felt that the strength of the center, O'Neal is the ceiling.

But in fact, there are really powerful perverts in this world.

Now, at the moment of collision with Lin Hong's card position, O'Neill's figure flashed in Barkley's mind.

This year's No. [-] pick is even better than O'Neill in terms of strength! !

I squeeze, I can't squeeze! !
Assessing the strength of a center forward is actually very simple.

Look at the height and wingspan of this center, feel the strength of this center, and you can know the approximate strength of this center!

But now, Barkley has to admit that he really underestimated Lin Hong before.

With Lin Hong's current static talent and physical fitness, he can definitely become an All-Star, or even a top-notch center.

But physical talent can only determine the lower limit of a center, not the upper limit of a center.

As the power forward with the richest interior skills, Barkley believes that a center's skills are far more important than physical fitness.

"Boy, relying solely on physical talent, it is impossible to become a great center forward!!"

It was the first time that Barkley spoke to Lin Hong seriously. After he lost the position with Lin Hong, he immediately got stuck behind Lin Hong and defended Lin Hong seriously! !
"Charles, I agree with you!"

Kobe saw that Lin Hong was stuck in a good position, so he lobbed the ball to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong fished with one hand and received the pass very comfortably.

As expected of the second best shooting guard in the future, Kobe's pass was just right, and Lin Hong didn't need much adjustment to catch the ball.

The moment the basketball was received, the fans in the entire Compaq Center Arena began to cheer.

The bursts of cheers and screams did not cause any fluctuations in the mentality of Lin Hong and Barkley.

Barkley stood behind Lin Hong, defending seriously.

"This guy deserves to be the guy who can hug Shaquille O'Neal, his body is so hard!!"

Feeling the resistance coming from behind, Lin Hong made a judgment on Barkley's physical fitness.

Barkley, who is now at his peak, is physically stronger than any inside player Lin Hong has encountered, even if David Robinson is a certain distance away from him!

You can't force it, the success rate of force is low, and the ear is extremely exhausting!
Lin Hong made a judgment instantly, leaning his back against Barkley.

After dribbling, he turned his back decisively, raised the ball with his left hand, and made a hook movement.

Barkley wanted to jump up to block Lin Hong, but Lin Hong played very badly. When he shot, Lin Hong's left hand and shoulder directly leaned on Barkley.

This caused Barkley to be unable to jump immediately after Lin Hong took off.

In this kind of top competition, a few tenths of a second late jump means that you can only watch the basketball hit the net!
Barkley jumped about [-] seconds late. When he jumped up, the basketball had crossed the highest arc and began to fall.

"Shhh!!"

The basketball pierced through the net and made an extremely beautiful friction sound, just like the sound of nature.

2:0, the Lakers came out on top!
