Chapter 117 Hello, Mamba

On December 1, the new month's game began, and the Celtics played against the Lakers away.

The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are the highlights of every season in the NBA.

These two teams are definitely the most famous arch-rivals in basketball history, and only Real Madrid and Barcelona in the football world can be compared.

Both teams have extremely brilliant history, with 17 Celtics and 16 Lakers. The two teams have won 33 NBA championships together. In the NBA 68 years, both teams have dominated the league for nearly half of the time.

Chamberlain vs. Russell of the 1960s.

Magician of the 1980s vs. Big Bird Bird.

Kobe VS the Big Three of the Celtics in the 2000s.

In the 1990s, if it weren't for the appearance of God, if it weren't for Baias' sudden death, the number of 33 championships would definitely not be the limit of these two teams.

The NBA is divided into big cities, small cities, big football markets, small football markets. For stars, choosing to play for a team is not only to play there, but also to live there. Therefore, in cities like New York and Los Angeles, players yearn for it very much. Not only are the teams perfectly matched, but their lives are also colorful, with various nightlife and countless celebrities.

For the world, Los Angeles is actually his favorite city. Compared with New York, Los Angeles has better security management, and the entire city is cleaner and tidy. The most important point is that Los Angeles is the largest city in the west and is also a seaside city.

Moreover, Los Angeles has a temperate Mediterranean climate with a mild climate throughout the year. It is generally dry and rainy all year round, but it rains slightly more in winter. The annual precipitation is about 378 mm, mainly winter rain. The average maximum temperature is 23.3℃ and the average minimum temperature is 13℃.

Los Angeles is located in an open basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and one on one side. It covers an area of ​​about 1,291 square kilometers. In addition to the hills in part, Los Angeles has a flat terrain with an average altitude of 84 meters. This is a standard plain coastal city. Living in such a city will make people feel comfortable and relaxed.

On November 31, after the Celtics came to Los Angeles, Jianghu immediately asked for leave from the team and couldn't wait to come to Sophia's home.

Regarding the Jianghu, the team's management attitude is to be laissez-free. They believe that Jianghu from the East is a humble young man who can control his actions and as long as it does not affect his performance on the field, he can go wherever he wants, and no one can limit his freedom.

Old Stallone is not at home and is still making movies in Philadelphia.

The second sister Sistine Stallone is still busy studying. She is studying in the acting department and her dream is to become an excellent professional actor like her father.

The little sister Scarlett Stallone is focusing on preparing for commercial shooting and entering the modeling circle.

Therefore, Sophia's only home is her, so she dared to boldly invite Jianghu to her home.

Sophia's home is in Beverly Hills, outside Los Angeles. It is one of the most famous wealthy areas in Los Angeles and even the world. Kobe has settled here all year round. Whenever Leonard is in Los Angeles, he will basically take his different sisters back here to spend the night. The famous actors Nick Jackelson and Denzel Washington all live in Beverly Hills.

afterwards.

Sophia leaned lazily in the arms of Jianghu and said with a confused smile:

"I've fallen in love with you completely, my dear."

"Will you come to Los Angeles in the future? Play for the Lakers so that I can watch you play in Staples often."

Jiang Hu gently stroked Sophia's hair, pressed her chin against her head, and said with a smile:

"It's not impossible, but I want to help the Celtics win the championship first, and when I become a free agent one day, Los Angeles may be my first choice."

"But it's not possible yet. I need to complete my mission because they chose me with the No. 1 pick, which is a kind of trust in me."

And in fact, compared with the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers have a relatively long glory period, have a greater influence worldwide and are more well-known.

If Jianghu chooses to change teams, Los Angeles will be a good place to settle down.

But the problem is: If James' fate is not changed, he will most likely come to the Los Angeles Lakers. With his strength, he will still be the leader of the Lakers in the short term.

But if the Jianghu changes teams, there is a prerequisite, that is, the team must be established as the core and the team leader.

So he won't consider this until James' strength declines or retreats to the second line.

On December 1, the Boston Celtics' game against the Los Angeles Lakers began.

The popularity of this game is not particularly high. After all, the Celtics and the Lakers are still a little different in combat effectiveness. The Celtics are currently ranked first in the East, while the Lakers are only ranked 12th in the West.

However, the battle between Hukai is naturally indispensable to the legendary figures on both sides, and the Celtic legend Pierce came to the sidelines to watch the game.

Kobe and his second daughter Gianna also came to watch the game before the game.

"Hello, Paul!"

"Hi, Jiang, my good brother!!"

Jianghu walked into the stadium and saw the famous people on the sidelines. He immediately walked up to say hello to Pierce. Although he was not interested in Pierce, he was a historical celebrity in the team and could not pretend to turn a blind eye.

After perfunctory Pierce, Jianghu walked to Kobe again and stretched out his right hand.

As a Chinese fan who grew up in the early 2000s, it is impossible for the Jianghu to have never seen Kobe play. He watched the Lakers even more games than the Rockets. He was also a member of the six billion in his previous life.

"Hello, Mamba!!"

"Hey man, how about it, I feel like you're getting used to it."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Kobe smiled and stretched out his hand to fight with Jianghu.

Jiang Hu smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's simpler than I thought."

Kobe smiled: "Then look forward to your performance."

The two belong to shareholders of the same beverage company. Although they have never met before, they are already in a cooperative relationship. Jianghu now belongs to the spokesperson of BodyArmor Beverage and James Harden belongs to the double-head brand of this beverage company.

So Kobe, who has not come to watch the game for a long time after retirement, also sat on the sidelines today to watch the game, supporting the team and the world.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game began soon.

Celtics: Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jianghu, Marcus Morris, Al Horford.

Lakers: Lonzo Ball, Caldwell Pope, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Brooke Lopez.

The Lakers' set is actually not low in combat effectiveness in the future.

Ball and Pope were both famous defenders who later became pretty good, both had good three-pointers and top defense. Ingram was an All-Star small forward, Randall was the star of the future Knicks, Lopez was the main center of the championship team, and Antetokounmpo's most solid right-hand man.

Logically speaking, such a lineup should not be a big problem to enter the playoffs.

But the bad thing is that this group of people has not reached their peak, and they are also equipped with a head coach with no skills and tactical ideas - Luke Walton.

It is perfect to describe them as "gathering means a lump of flying, and scattering means a star full of sky."

This round of the game is the focus of this round. ESPN conducted a live broadcast across the United States, with many highlights. Major media are looking forward to this game very much.

The first highlight: In the summer, the Lakers selected Randle + second pick + sky-high chips for the Celtics' No. 1 pick in the future, in order to get the world.

The deal was exposed just after the draft ended.

Lakers fans scolded them all, thinking that the Magician and Pelinka had a problem with their brains and were already crazy, and they actually used Randelgar's two high draft picks to exchange for the No. 1 pick from Asia.

But Jianghu's performance since the start of the game has indeed hit Lakers fans in the face. Now they have to say that the chips they had set out were not bold enough. If two more first rounds could be added, the Celtics might not be able to withstand the temptation to agree to the deal.

The magician seamlessly cleansed his vision, and the fans affirmed his vision and were full of confidence in his future operations.

The conflict between Jianghu and Ball is also the highlight of this game.

During the summer league, Brother Qiu rarely broke the defense when facing the world. He was always calm and angry at the world and even punched and attacked.

What kind of performance will Ball perform in this game and will he break the defense again?

These are all points of interest to the melon-eating crowd.

On the side of the Celtics, Stevens arranged a task for Jianghu. "Jiang, when you face Lonzo today, there must be an inside player to cover him, and he will run non-stop. You follow him closely and don't let him easily shoot in the inside. It doesn't matter if the outside can make him shoot more. Take advantage of your speed advantage on the offensive end and play like you usually do, and take action when you have the chance."

Jianghu still wanted to help his teammates score more, but Stevens encouraged him to take more actions. When Irving retired from injury, Jianghu's tactical threat was the biggest in the entire Celtics.

If the Celtics want to attack smoothly, the Celtics must first exert their own threats and hurt their opponents. When the opponent's defensive attention is focused on him, the teammates will stand up and play. If there is no Celtics, the Celtics will not be able to make a three-dimensional offense and can only stand one-on-one singles.

When the players of the two teams appeared, the Lakers players received crazy screams and cheers, while the Jianghu received booing all over the field.

However, there are exceptions. This is California, the continent with the largest number of Chinese and Asian Americans.

There are still some Chinese or Asians who support the world. They are surrounded by golden jerseys, wearing a bright green hue, standing opposite the whole audience to support the world.

Jianghu waved to them with a smile, thanking them for their support, and at the same time, he made up his mind silently that whether it was for the Celtics or for these away fans who supported him, Jianghu had to perform well and lead the team to win in Los Angeles.

The players of the two teams stood on the court and prepared to jump the ball, and the game officially began.

Lopez defeated Horford with his higher wingspan and won the jump ball, and the Lakers began their first offense in the game.

The Lakers attacked first, and Jianghu was like a piece of dog skin plaster that could not be torn off, pressing against Ball tightly, resolutely not to speed him up.

When Ball saw Jianghu standing in front of him again like the Summer League, he could only describe the word "despair" in his mind.

Jianghu's height and arm span are better than Ball. At the same time, Jianghu's speed is the fastest among the same height. With fast and flexible steps, the two long arms are flying up and down, and constantly waving, giving people a sense of oppression.

Ball took a hard time to get the ball through half the game, and then gave it to Randle.

One of Ball's tags is: off-point guard and excellent setters, which can change the team's offense without having to hold the ball in hand for a long time.

Jianghu’s goal today is to destroy Ball’s ability to assist without the ball, turning him into a pitcher who can only hit the iron outside the three-point line. As long as he is destroyed, the Lakers’ offense will be destroyed half.

Randall protected the ball and observed the situation. After considering it, he did not pass the ball to Ingram or Pope. He dribbled the ball in the face frame and continued to a comfortable position, hitting the ground and passing it to center Lopez, who was asking for the ball at the low post on the right.

Randall is 203CM tall and weighs 110 kilograms. When he is protecting the ball, Morris has no good way to deal with him.

If the Lakers have any advantages in position against the Celtics, it is only Lopez, with a 7-foot-height 227 wingspan, no one in the Celtics can match him.

Lopez is also a magical guy, in the same team as Ross. He was selected by the Nets to enter the NBA with the 10th pick in the first round in 2008. He averaged 13 8 in the rookie season and scored 19 8 in the second year, becoming the core of the Nets and was selected as the All-Star in the later stage.

His draft template is Duncan, but he did not show any deterrent power on the defensive end in his early career. Instead, he played well on the offensive end, with his back-to-back singles, face-frame singles, and mid-range jump shots, which feels like a generation of killer weapons.

From the moment he was traded to the Lakers, everyone thought he would be the next center to be eliminated by the small ball era.
