Chapter 130: City of Angels

Money, honor, fame, victory. California, Los Angeles, City of Angels, this is the biggest stage that allows you to complete the above points.

Gorgeous Avenue of Stars, tall buildings in the city center, intricate viaducts, extremely crazy nightlife...

Hollywood stars, Beverly Hills’ luxury and the luxuriant downtown area, all make this California’s largest city shine. Los Angeles’ professional team also plays an important role in the league.

The home jerseys of the teams in the league are all white, but the Los Angeles Lakers have designed their home jerseys to be golden, which seems to reflect the difference between this "noble" and other teams.

The teams and fans in Los Angeles are equally arrogant. They all think they are the strongest in the league. But this is not Los Angeles' arrogant, with 4yi and 9 losses. This record is only comparable to the traditional giants with the same long history. In the West, where the strong teams are full of strong teams, the Lakers are still arrogant. They have dominated the league's top spot for a long time, and now they are just waiting for the start of the playoffs and then point directly to the O'Brien Cup, which represents the highest honor.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, who won four consecutive victories? There is nothing to worry about. They are just a group of hillbillies from small places. The last time they played against the Clippers at Staples Center, weren’t those hillbillies already scared?

There is always darkness hidden behind the glamorousness, and Los Angeles is also a turbulent place. You know, in the Thunder team, which is called "landbullshit" by Los Angeles fans, there is a pure Los Angeles man, Russell Westbrook.

Before being admitted to UCLa, Westbrook lived in the black area of ​​Long Beach. Poisoning, selling yin, gang fighting, illegal racing, this is what Westbrook thinks of Los Angeles.

"Don't look at the city's appearance as glamorous. Before I walked out of the black zone, I didn't dare to go out at night. Because I was afraid of robbery, but I had no solution. This is often born in the neighborhood where I used to live. Do you know why my father asked me to play basketball? Because only the basketball court in Long Beach is safe." Looking at Anger's longing eyes on the plane, Westbrook turned his head and said to his good buddy.

Seeing Westbrook's expression becoming more and more complicated, Angel did not respond, in order not to interrupt Westbrook's thoughts.

At this time, Westbrook touched the wristband on his hand again. This sports bracelet is ordinary and has no characteristics. However, this wristband with the word "kB3" is of great significance to Westbrook.

It is in this familiar land, in this place where basketball talents are piled up, that the short Westbrook in high school is simply inconspicuous. The reason why ucLa picked Westbrook away was inseparable from this "kB3".

Casey Barr III, Westbrook's teammate and close friend during his high school years, was top-notch in terms of physical conditions and basketball skills. Durant was still the second place at that time. He was called the second high school student in the United States by the media, and Casey Barr III was the first to be at that time.

But Barr, who had a promising future, died unexpectedly due to heart expansion before the start of the yi game. Westbrook was heartbroken, but he did not give up on himself. He began to live a life of two people after losing his best friend. In life, he took care of Casey Barr's favorite grandmother, and on the court he also replaced Casey Barr with omnipotence performance.

In the end, ucLa was originally an investigation into Casey Barr, but in the end she fell in love with Westbrook by chance. When she returned to Los Angeles again, Westbrook's heart poured in with her. Are the powerful Los Angeles Lakers? On this land, Westbrook will never give up.

Westbrook has been a fan of his hometown team since he was a child, and Anjie is also a lover of this wealthy family. Facing his favorite team, these two young people not only do not show mercy, but on the contrary, their power may be several times greater than before.

However, the powerful Los Angeles Lakers did not show this threat. Last season, the league ranked last and the West ranked tenth this season. The team's leading players are three unscathing rookies. Such an opponent really cannot make Los Angeles people be wary of them.

The three Celtics giants, LeBron James, San Antonio's GDP, are the opponents that can be recognized by Los Angeles fans. Even if the team's center Bynum, known as the "Little Shark", is absent due to injury, Lakers fans still don't think the "homebusters" from Oklahoma City will pose any threat to them.

"Oh! Damn! Hahahaha..." Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing when he saw Charles Barkley walking in.

"Hey, I know this jersey is ugly, don't laugh, I have prepared three more pieces, I will change them for the yi Festival." Barkley, as agreed, after the Thunder defeated the Kings, he walked into the studio in this game wearing the Thunder jersey.

Barkley has never been a shameful person. He is wearing Durant's jersey at this time. Charles Barkley, who has retired for a long time, has long lost his strong muscles. After putting on the jersey, his bloated figure is fully exposed.

Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller were sitting up with suits and tie, while Charles Barkley's unique dress was even more conspicuous and easier to make people laugh.

"Three jerseys? The general manager of the Thunder team will thank you very much. You have successfully expanded their jersey sales." Kenny Smith mentioned the other three clothes that Barkley threw on the commentary stage.

In addition to the No. 35 jersey that was already worn on her body, Barkley also brought No. 0 Westbrook and No. yi6 Angel respectively. As for the fourth jersey, there is no number on it, but the name of Jeff Van Gundy is written on it.

"Are you sure you'll wear it all today?" Reggie Miller didn't expect Barkley to be so generous.

"Since I want to do it, I will do it thoroughly, so as not to say that the gang of the Thunders will be untrustworthy." Barkley didn't care at all and replied with a smile.

However, the Third Young Master of the Thunder didn't know whether Barkley had fulfilled his promise, and they didn't care at all now. When the Thunders came out to warm up at Staples Center, the booing of the audience never stopped.

This is not because Los Angeles fans deliberately target the Thunder. Except for the Lakers, everyone is treated the same here.

"Hey, An, are you scared?" Westbrook suddenly poked Anger, who was about to grab the rebound with his elbow.

"What are you afraid of?" Anjie did not stop. He steadily grabbed the basketball that the trainer deliberately missed, and answered Westbrook's question while talking.

"We are facing the Los Angeles Lakers." Westbrook and Angel turned their heads and looked at the other half, looking at the group of guys who were talking and laughing and warming up easily.

Lamar Odom, Derek Fischer, Paul Gasol, Phil Jackson, and of course the person who is smiling now, who will surely be the most dangerous later, Kobe Bryant.

The brilliant lineup, controversial but effective tactics, the scheming head coach, and the deadly Black Mamba.

"I do like them very much, but..."

"But they will definitely not be able to have a good time." Before Anger finished speaking, Durant took over the words. This guy didn't talk much, so the communication between Anger and Westbrook would be more frequent. But today, Durant was already full of fighting spirit before the game.

Since Bynum was unable to play, the person who was competing with Angel now became Spanish superstar Paul Gasol.
