Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 274

David Stern has been planning for this game for five years. As the first American sports league to land in the Eastern world, this untapped market has great potential.

It is unprecedented for a preseason game to be broadcast to 8 countries in 177 languages.

On the Chinese side, Mr. Sun and Mr. Zhang are responsible for the commentary.

As the backbone of Chinese commentary, Mr. Sun has not only inherited Song Shixiong's maturity and stability, but also Han Qiaosheng's daring to speak and act, and is different from Huang Jianxiang who specializes in football and does not understand other things. widely.

"We know that there are many players who are good at scoring in the NBA, such as McGrady, Kobe, Bryant, etc. Today, these scoring masters will gather together to bring us a wonderful performance. At the same time, our little giant Yao Ming will also stage a peak duel with his long-time partner Liu Wei on the field. Let’s take a look at the Rockets’ roster first. They are No. 11 Yao Ming and No. 1 McGrady..."

By the time Mr. Sun finished reporting the list, the Lakers had already played a wave of 5-0. The Rockets' starting point guard was Van Gundy's old team, Charlie Ward. The highlight moment of this man's career was when he was pulled upside down by P.J. Brown In the scene of throwing into the auditorium, as soon as it came up, Billups made a three-pointer with a screen, and then steals Ward for a layup.

Van Gundy has a black line on his face, and the poor performance of the old department makes it difficult for him to stand up to all opinions and introduce Ward as a head coach.

In the off-season, the Rockets frequently made big deals. In addition to the major transactions of Francis, Mobley and Tracy McGrady, they also introduced the former Kings Super Sixth Man Bobby Jackson; they participated in both the dunk contest and the three-point contest The white guard Bob Sura; the veteran center Dikembe Mutombo, etc., have a strong lineup, and the "arrow" refers to the championship.

"The Rockets made another mistake. The ball was passed too fast to Yao Ming, and they couldn't catch it at all!"

"Kobe holds the ball. As a defender, he averaged close to 30 points per game last season, which is really remarkable. As a forward, McGrady's average points per game are only more than 1 point higher than him."

"Yes, the ball must be given to Yao Ming first. Although the goal was missed, it is very reasonable and should be played like this."

……

With the joyful explanation of the two teachers, the game went on for half a quarter.

Time and money have consumed Juwan Howard's remaining fighting spirit. Today's Uncle Huo is just a mediocre striker who holds a thermos cup and drinks wolfberry tea. The Magic's daily data of 10 plus 6 does not mean that his strength remains at that level.

Playing next to Yao Ming, under Van Gundy's system, Uncle Huo's basket skills are useless. The only meaning of his existence on the court is to hit some open half-block baskets. As for his defense, there is no such thing Can't come up with it.

David West, who was sidelined for half a season due to injury last season, appeared in the Lakers' starting lineup to replace the retired Karl Malone. Although he couldn't play, West did not stop sculpting his body. He is getting stronger and stronger, just like a small Karl Malone.

In order to let the second-year rookie who the Lakers put high hopes on find his status as soon as possible, Jim also arranged some tactics for him, and Uncle Huo, who is defending thousands of people, happens to be the best target.

As a result, West frequently fell to the low position and forced Huo Ershuo, while Garnett fell to the high position, restraining Yao Ming's defense so that he could not just fill in for Howard.

Uncle Huo felt a pain in his heart. Shao Wei of Luo Village bullied me to be powerless. Didn’t he agree to let Kobe single out McGrady and Garnett single out Yao Ming?What are you planning to do with me as a role player!

Howard was forced by West in a row, quickly received two fouls, and applied for a rest.

Van Gundy saw that something was wrong, so he called a timeout first.

"The Lakers did not use their most sure point Kobe to attack, but let the little-known David West play the main role. I don't know what the new head coach Jim Buss is thinking. Let's take a look at the game. The score, the Lakers lead 18 to 7..." At first, I still couldn't understand the Lakers' operation, but after reporting the score, Teacher Sun was speechless.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers replaced Garnett and West, two newly-recovered injuries, and replaced them with Brazilian duo Nene and Varejao.The Rockets replaced Uncle Huo with another of Van Gundy's direct descendants, Clarence Witherspoon.

"I checked the information just now. The Lakers center Kevin Garnett ranked second in the selection of the best defensive player last season, which shows that his defense is still very strong. Now the Lakers replaced him. For the Rockets It’s an opportunity for the team.”

With Bob Sura out due to injury, the only point guard the Rockets can use at the moment is Charlie Ward.

Varejao's flexibility is far inferior to Garnett's, so when dealing with Yao Ming, he cannot use Garnett's exclusive half-round defense, and can only honestly defend from behind.

Yao Ming easily caught the ball, and just as he was about to push forward with his back, he heard a scream behind him.

Varejao flew out of the bottom line with one butt backwards in a flat sand and wild goose style.

"This Varejao, it's interesting that he collapses at the first touch. The referee was also fooled by him."

With about 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers made another substitution. Billups and Artest were replaced, and Liu Wei and Wade were replaced.

"A historic moment has arrived. This is the first time that two Chinese players compete on the same field in the NBA!"

During the sensitive period, everyone deliberately ignored that Wang Zhizhi still exists in the NBA.

Liu Wei holds the ball, passes it to Varejao in the high post, and makes a cross screen with Nene... It's not easy to break free from Witherspoon's fat body, the smell is still big, no matter... Come At 45 degrees on the other side, Varejao scored the ball.

Wade made an empty cut to the basket, and Charlie Ward used his more than ten years of experience to make a judgment and give priority to helping defend Wade.

This time Liu Wei did not hesitate, and made a firm mid-range shot, making a steady hit.

There was thunderous cheers in the arena.

"The Lakers asked Liu Wei to make the first attack. Just now the Rockets' defense had a big problem. There was no defensive player within three meters of Liu Wei. If this was the regular season, Van Gundy would definitely make adjustments immediately. "

In fact, Van Gundy did make adjustments. Charlie Ward's role on the field is infinitely close to zero. Even if he prefers the old general, Van Gundy has to admit this. The chaotic ability of the former best sixth man opened the door for the Rockets to attack. At present, except for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, others have not scored for a long time. The starting small forward Jim Jackson has been reduced from an all-around scorer to a bottom. Corner three break up.

With Jim Jackson hitting a 12-pointer, the Lakers entered the second quarter with a [-]-point lead.
