"Charles, you are very excited today." Smith said.

"Where."

"Is it because there is another Yuan Man match?"

"Hey." Buckley laughed shyly.

"What do you think of this game?" Smith asked Barkley.

"That's okay, I was a knight at the time."

Before Barkley finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at the opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, the roster, Kobe, Howard, Gasol, Nash, and so on.

"I'm looking forward to a wonderful game." Barkley suddenly changed his expression, took a sip of tea, and looked like a Buddha.

Before the start of the game, the Heat, known as the most powerful team in the middle generation, did not have a game today. The whole team gathered in front of the TV after training, waiting to watch the game between the Cavaliers and the Lakers.

The strongest three-party force in the league, the Lakers, Heat, and Cavaliers of the old, middle and young generations, will start a dragon-tiger battle today.

Cavaliers: Center: Whiteside, Power Forward: Mirotic, Small Forward: Yuan Man, Shooting Guard: Cray, Point Guard: Irving;
Lakers: Center: Howard, Power Forward: Gasol, Small Forward: Artest, Shooting Guard: Kobe, Point Guard: Nash.

"The game has begun!" Smith, who has always been calm, couldn't help but roared when the referee's whistle sounded.

Due to his outstanding performance in the Cavaliers, Whiteside also won the title of "Little Monster", but in the scrimmage with the real monster Howard, Howard won the ball and won the ball for the Lakers.

Nash dribbled the ball across the frontcourt and extended a "1" gesture. Kobe slipped to the baseline and received a pass from Nash. Facing Clay's block, he shot a baseline jumper.

The ball went over Clay's block and went hollow through the net.

Kobe immediately gave Nash a thumbs up. Throughout his career, Kobe has never partnered with a guard of Nash's level in the backcourt. Although Fisher's strength is not bad, compared with Nash, he is still Much worse.
