When Wen Hao followed the Rockets into the Staples Center stadium, he suddenly felt an almost visible enthusiasm coming towards him. The cheers of the entire Staples Center audience of 18,997 were deafening, and people could not even speak.
You have to yell loudly in your ears to hear it. The Lakers cheerleaders wore special Christmas costumes, red and white bras and shorts, and kept twisting their sexy waists in the middle of the court.
Next to him, Harden looked at one of the cheerleaders with plump buttocks, his eyes shining brightly.
In the auditorium on the sidelines, more than a dozen big-name Hollywood stars were shining brightly, and the live shots were constantly showing them, including the actor Nicholson. Naturally, he was among them.
A game like the Christmas Day game will naturally be broadcast live across the United States. ESPN's three commentators have arrived early. They are the former sharpshooter Reggie Miller, the big-mouthed Charles Barkley, and Kevin Harlan.
Kevin Harlan sighed and said: "It's the annual Christmas game again. For fans who like NBA, this is definitely a visual feast. Especially the game we are commenting on has modern combinations and China.
The combined Rockets played against Kobe Nash Gasol's Lakers. How attractive this game is, just look at the Hollywood stars on the sidelines."
Barkley, who is a player, did not chat and started to analyze the game directly: "Today's game is very important for both sides, because both sides will definitely make it to the playoffs, and in the playoffs, they have a high possibility
Meet each other. So if you defeat your opponent in the regular season, you will have a certain psychological advantage in the playoffs. So I predict that these two teams will show all their strength without reservation in this game."
Miller smiled and said: "The Rockets have Harden and the Lakers have Kobe Nash. Thinking about such a matchup makes people excited. There is only one thing I am looking forward to now - the game will start immediately."
…
On the other side of the ocean in China, many TV stations and networks are broadcasting the Christmas war. Not to mention other TV stations such as the Central, Yanjing, Ningxia, and Guangdong TV stations will naturally broadcast it live, but the number of live broadcasts is different. Not to mention the network
Yes, both pain training and salary wave are being broadcast live.
In Xinlang's live broadcast room, there are three commentators today. One is the host Ke Fan, the other is Yang Yi, who is still very familiar to everyone, and the third is the beautiful reporter Zhou Ling'an.
Ke Fan was the first to speak. He made a few jokes with Zhou Ling'an before getting down to business: "The Rockets have the Harden team and the Chinese team, the Lakers have the Kobe Nash Gasol team, Yang Yi, tell everyone, these two
When two teams face off, who has a greater chance of winning?"
Yang Yi smiled and shook his head and said: "You can't talk nonsense. I'm not a prophet. How can I know the result?"
Zhou Ling'an smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, no one asked you to predict. I just asked you to analyze based on the strength of the two teams."
Seeing that he couldn't shirk Yang Yi, he had to clear his throat and said: "Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is in good condition. Nash seems to have a second spring this season. Injuries don't bother him anymore. His shooting percentage is back. Gasol is in good shape."
Although the inside line is still a little weak, he has done a very good job in high-post support. It can almost be said that he is the best passer among all the inside lines. The strength of such a Lakers team cannot be underestimated.
As for the Rockets, although there is a Harden combination and a Chinese combination, in fact the Chinese combination has not shown its power in recent times. McHale has divided their playing time into pieces, and the two can be on the court at the same time.
There is very little time, and more is to see Wen Hao's virtual and real steps performing alone. Under such circumstances, I think the Lakers may have a greater chance of winning."
"Speaking of false and true steps, Wen Hao has been in the limelight recently, and his low singles stun the big men in the post." Ke Fan is very interested in false and true steps.
"That's right, McHale's famous stunt was McHale's famous trick. I don't know how many stars in the league fell to this move back then. Wen Hao, an outside player, suddenly fell into the low position. It was unexpected. In addition,
The miraculous effect of virtual and real footsteps has made many people
Players are hard to guard against. And he has excellent passing vision. When encountering double teams, he can often pass the ball to the best position. It is like inserting a sharp knife into the opponent's defense and breaking through the opponent's defense. Only then
This is the reason why he has performed so well recently.
Zhou Ling'an nodded repeatedly, but then remembered something and said: "But in the last game, McHale greatly reduced his playing time. I heard that it was because he did not implement the tactics according to the coach's intention. Will McHale do it again today?"
Bench him?"
"This depends on the situation at the time. Judging from these few games, McHale regarded him as the Clippers' Crawford and the Knicks' Jr. He is not used at ordinary times, only when the Rockets are in a critical situation and cannot
Only when you solve the problem will you let
Wen Hao comes on the field. Wen Hao's unconventional style of play often gives the opponent's coach a headache. Even McHale can't imagine how Wen Hao will act, let alone the opponent's head coach. So let's see what happens today.
." Yang Yi replied.
At nine o'clock that night, Los Angeles time, amid the nagging of Xinlang's commentators and ESPN's commentators, and amid the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans, the Christmas Day war between the Rockets and the Lakers officially kicked off.
The Rockets' starting lineup is still center Howard, power forward Jones, small forward Parsons, shooting guard Harden and point guard Jeremy Lin. Since Beverley's injury has not fully recovered, the Rockets' starting No. 1 position has been
Jeremy Lin serves.
On the Lakers side, D'Antoni still allowed several players to play first and last, but there was a change. He took off the original starting shooting guard and replaced him with point guard Blake. A two-point guard lineup was arranged from the beginning.
When McHale was still wondering what the Lakers' dual point guards were going to do, the Lakers were already furious. First, Kobe succeeded in three consecutive singles, and second, Nash organized the offense and passed an alley-oop and a three-pointer from the top of the key.
Blake made two consecutive fast break counterattacks and passed assists.
At this time, McHale finally woke up. The reason why D'Antoni arranged a double point guard lineup was actually very clear. D'Antoni has always been a run-and-gun type, so Blake was asked to pass the ball during fast break counterattacks. But the core of the Lakers team
The lineup was too old and could not improve their speed, so after falling into position, the experienced Nash was asked to organize the offense.
When McHale came to his senses, he immediately formed a dual-point guard lineup.
