Chapter 37 A moth to a fire is also courageous
It’s not that Radar has never studied this Lakers. On the contrary, he, Daidai, and Manu have discussed this Lakers led by James. If there is any advantage for the Spurs in this game, it is that this is the home court of the Spurs. It’s just that in absolute terms
In the face of their own strength, the home field advantage is just like a joke.
After the Spurs defeated James' Cavaliers 4-0 in the 2007 Finals, what Duncan said to James in the tunnel, "The future is yours, has already come true."
Without Kobe, without Wade, without veteran players, and without GDP in the NBA, James deserves to be the number one player.
There are many rising stars, including Leonard, the former Thunder's third youngster, the Splash Brothers of the Warriors, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose name is as long as his arm. They are still unable to achieve the achievements of James.
James and this Lakers team will become the center of attention wherever they go. Even at the home court of the Spurs, LeBron is still throwing magnesium powder into the air.
Today's scene was broadcast live on the American TNT TV station. The on-site commentator was O'Neal, the guests and Tracy McGrady. There was an empty seat, waiting for his owner.
Wearing a red suit, Yao, who is 2.26 tall, sat between O'Neal and McGrady.
O'Neal and Tracy McGrady are Yao's rivals, enemies and friends, and former teammates. They have created 22 consecutive victories, letting that red color sweep across the entire league and the entire land of China.
"Hi Yao, long time no see, how are you?" O'Neal shook hands with Yao cordially and said in his majestic voice.
"I'm fine. I'm honored to be able to witness the match between the Spurs and the Lakers today. Maizi, it's your turn to speak." Yao Ming's rich voice echoed throughout the arena.
McGrady's temples were turning gray. He raised his eyes and said, "Yao, as the number one player in the Chinese men's basketball team, how do you evaluate your players?"
Yao Ming knew that McGrady was referring to Radar and said: "Ray works very hard and has great potential. As a combo guard, his achievements in the future are limitless, and his honor will surely surpass you and me in the future."
Radar did not expect Dayao to come to the scene in this way, and he was surrounded by NBA celebrities, who once dominated the league. This made Radar a little nervous. With so many famous seniors watching, today's battle was another
Unprecedentedly difficult.
"I think we'll catch up on old times later. The game started. The Lakers sent out a backcourt combination of Rajon Rondo and Danny Green, and a forward lineup of LeBron, Big Eyebrow and Cousins." O'Neal looked at the Lakers.
He was a little proud of the team's lineup. After all, he was once a member of the Lakers and was a contributor to the Triple Crown dynasty, dominating the interior at that time.
"The Spurs are still a combination of Ray, DeRozan, Rudy Gay, LaMarcus and Boltel. This lineup is indeed somewhat different from the Lakers."
Dayao: "I am very much looking forward to how Ray will perform in a foreign country. You know, the dominance he has shown in the CBA is even greater than what I did back then. Of course, he still has a lot to learn when entering the NBA.
."
On the court, Cousins, who is called the "big cousin" by Chinese fans, scored the first offense for the Lakers.
The older cousin, DeMarcus Cousins, has a bad temper, an All-Star player, and an All-NBA second-team player. He is an all-around center who can rebound and block shots in the paint, shoot from the outside, and make three-pointers.
He also often takes shots. Of course, there is also his ball-handling skills. He is a center with a height of 2.11 and has a guard-like soft touch and delicate ball-handling skills, so he is called the "big cousin".
The Lakers attacked, and Rondo gave the ball to the team's boss, LeBron James.
Even though LeBron is 38 years old, he is still very fast. Because of his strong body, he rushed into the paint with a crushing attitude and was unstoppable. He scored a layup and gave the Lakers the lead.
I'm afraid today's radar is not comfortable, or the Spurs' offense is not comfortable. The five people on the field are all defensive players except for the cousin. Rondo defends the radar, Danny Green defends DeRozan, James and Davis naturally
Ade and Guy can be restrained, but Boltel can't take any advantage against his older cousin, and he is also the type who is beaten under pressure.
Rondo's height of 1.85cm and wingspan of 2.10 are a full 10 centimeters longer than Radar's 2 meters. When Radar faced Rondo with the ball, his open arms almost surrounded Radar, leaving Radar with no room to play.
What to do? With such a long wingspan? Radar's dribbling was forced to stop. He kept half-turning to find the position of his teammates. Gay and DeRozan kept running. Radar hit the ground and passed the ball to Guy, but he didn't.
Thinking of hitting LeBron halfway, intercepting the ball.
The first attack was a mistake. Radar had never encountered this situation before, but now he couldn't help thinking about it because the gorilla had already accelerated.
Radar ran quickly and came to defend James head-on. Behind him was the brother with thick eyebrows, and Ade's steps were much slower and thicker. There was one and two people in the frontcourt, and their height, weight, and body shape were completely out of proportion.
The radar seemed to be submerged in a sea of giants. The uninformed spectators in the backcourt thought that LeBron and Big Eyebrow were in the frontcourt, but could not see the radar in front of James.
"Oh, baby, where did Ray go?" O'Neal shouted without hesitation.
"I saw that Ray was trying to defend LeBron, but the power level was completely out of proportion." McGrady said with a smile.
Faced with the joking of Tracy McGrady and O'Neal, Dayao behaved very calmly. Radar's successful defense was a merciless slap in the face. Radar's failure in defense was nothing. The person in front of him was the number one player in the league. What Radar needs now is
As time goes by, Yao Ming only needs one thing, that is, radar health.
James: Look at me charging like a bull!
Facing James' layup, few tough men in the league dared to block it from the front, but Radar was fearless and still jumped up and stretched out his right hand to try to stop the little emperor.
Even if it's a moth flying into the flame, I'm going to give it a try!
But James' arm bent for a layup, and the basketball went in front of the thick-eyebrow brother on the left. The thick-eyebrow caught the ball with both hands in the air and dunked it with great force.
Many spectators at the scene sighed helplessly, let alone Radar, it would be difficult for any defender to defend this ball, not even Kobe, Westbrook, or Paul.
"You saw it, Shaquille, Wheat, you saw Ray being knocked away by LeBron, you saw Ray's defensive overestimation, and what I saw was his courage. No matter who is in front of me, I just believe in me.
Own."
"Lei, it takes time to grow. His courage is a rare asset. Do you agree?"
Dayao said, looking at the two old friends beside him, McGrady nodded in agreement, and O'Neal also said very solemnly:
"Yes, I agree with you very much. This is why I like this boy so much."
The radar after landing was not depressed. Is this the strength of the first man in the league? Is this the former "James Connection" and now the James Connection?
