This is the first time Lu Yu has come to watch an NBA game live in a long time.
Mainly because Spokane is a small and remote city, and there is no NBA team around. If you have to watch it, you have to go to Seattle to watch the SuperSonics.
Lu Yu wanted to learn how to defend with gloves, but he has been busy training and competing during this period and has no time at all.
Even in the Christmas game some time ago, he was playing away from home and didn't even see the broadcast.
Soon the arena, which can accommodate 19,763 people, was full. Although the Knicks' record this season was good, it was not good enough for the demanding Knicks fans, so the arena has never been as full as it is today.
And the reason why they came to the arena today was all to see O'Neal.
Of course, there are Kobe fans, but not that many.
The game started, and fans from both sides were cheering, looking forward to the players from both sides entering the stadium.
The first team to enter was the Lakers. The other players on this Lakers team were all supporting the OK team. The only ones Lu Yu knew were Horry and Tyronn Lue.
The second to last player for the Lakers was Kobe Bryant wearing jersey No. 8.
A few Kobe fans stood up and applauded in the arena. Over the years, Kobe has been shrouded in O'Neal's halo, and the number of fans has been tepid.
Suddenly, Jessica Alba was surprised to find that Lu Yu also stood up and applauded.
"You like Bryant?" Jessica asked.
Lu Yu shook his head: "No, I just want to see how many pieces of iron he can hit tonight."
Maybe I’ve been complaining for a long time.
One day when you don’t have anything to complain about, you will feel a little nostalgic.
…
The game started. Although the Knicks also had star players like Alan Houston and Sprewell, Lu Yu didn't care.
Even O'Neal and Lu Yu of the Lakers took a quick look.
He only had Kobe in his eyes at this time, and the other nine people on the court were not under his gaze.
…
Kobe catches the ball from the baseline and sticks out his tongue in his signature style. Some people say that he imitates Jordan, but in fact he is more than just sticking out his tongue to imitate Jordan!
Shake your shoulders and turn around.
Fallback jump shot.
tie!
I’d like to pick up a piece of iron!
Judging from the ball Kobe hit after the opening two minutes, Kobe is in great shape today!
"Nice shot!" Lu Yu shouted from the sidelines.
The surrounding Knicks fans cast friendly glances.
This guy knows how to play football!
Jessica Alba on the side felt a dark cloud hanging over her head——
Since Lu Yu doesn't like Kobe, why does he look at Kobe with such an ambiguous look?
"It can't be... born out of love..."
Jessica felt that her brain circuit was not enough.
…
Kobe stole the ball, started dribbling the ball from midfield, and kept changing lines. Under the interference of Alan Houston, he scored a layup and caused the opponent to foul.
"You can make a layup, brother!"
Lu Yu was a little disappointed.
I originally thought that I could see Kobe Bryant dunk, but who would have thought that he would end up with a layup? If you don't dunk, it's better to hit the ground running.
He comforted himself in his heart: "It doesn't matter, the game has just begun. Kobe still has many opportunities to... no, it's a dunk!"
Kobe's free throw was very solid, and he made the free throw to help the team take the lead.
…
Soon at the end of the first quarter, Kobe was replaced and replaced by veteran Ron Harper.
Fans with some experience should all know Ron Harper. During the Bulls' second three consecutive championships, he was the starting point guard with Jordan. When Jordan retired, he came to the Lakers with "Zen Master" Jackson and led the "Zen Master" to the Lakers.
"Triangle Offense".
It's just that because Fisher exists on the team, Harper has become a brick of the revolution, and he can be moved wherever he is needed.
When Fisher comes down, he will play point guard, and when Kobe Bryant comes down, he will play shooting guard.
However, his scoring ability is indeed not as impressive as his defense.
At this time, Lu Yu had time to observe other players on the field.
"Hey, isn't that Rick Fox?"
Lu Yu clicked his tongue: "This movie is very good. What kind of ball are you playing? It's a waste of talent."
"What movie?" Jessica Alba asked curiously.
Lu Yu glanced at her sideways: "You haven't seen it."
"Impossible, I am a loyal movie lover and have watched almost every movie released. Even if I haven't seen it, I should have heard of it." Jessica Alba was a little unconvinced.
"..."
Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "I'll take you to watch it next time if I have a chance."
"OK!"
Jessica Alba's cheeks were slightly red. She didn't know if this was Lu Yu's date invitation: "But let's agree first, I will buy the movie tickets for the next movie. I can't keep asking you to spend money."
Lu Yu looked at her ignorant expression and sighed secretly.
This girl may not really understand that you can't see that kind of movie in ordinary movie theaters, let alone buy movie tickets.
…
The second quarter of the game was also lackluster. The substitutes of the two teams were pecking each other on the court. All fans were waiting for the main players to come on and fight before halftime.
In the sixth minute of the second quarter, the main players of both sides appeared again.
This time there was no warmth in the first quarter. Players from the two teams began to fight hand-to-hand on the court. They tried their best for every ball, hoping to lead their opponents into the halftime break in the second quarter.
Lu Yu frowned slightly: "Can I bear the intensity of this confrontation?"
Today, he originally came to watch Kobe play, and he wanted to make a few comments on the way. He had no other thoughts in his mind, but when he saw the physical fighting on the court, he started to grumble in his heart.
"The breathing method of water is 54%, the breathing method of fire is 27%, the breathing method of thunder is 28%..."
"This progress is completely insufficient."
"At least, it has to be doubled!"
In fact, this progress is enough to be successful in the NBA, but Lu Yu doesn't want to be successful. He wants to stand on the court one day and let Kobe look at him solemnly.
Listen to yourself complain about him.
…
The last attack of the second quarter.
Kobe stood outside the three-point line and received Fisher's pass, and O'Neal was stuck inside.
But Kobe didn't choose to pass the ball.
He began to dribble continuously with his hips, and his eyes were fixed on the H2O Alan Houston who was defending him.
In addition to the ordinary nickname of King of Central Shooting, Alan Houston also has a more interesting nickname - h2o, which means that his shooting is as smooth as water.
His shooting is accurate and his defense is not bad either.
With his arms spread wide, he lowered his center of gravity and refused to take advantage of Kobe's shaking. In this game, Kobe only scored 7 points in the second half due to his defense, making 3 of 12 shots and one free throw.
Such an iron hit rate, what the hell!
He is confident that he can guard against Kobe's offense.
But Lu Yu in the audience suddenly had a feeling that Kobe would definitely be able to score this goal. For Kobe, who had been determined for half the game -
