Chapter 1236: Tiing the Bulls, Tonight!

STAPLES Arena!

Shen Yang arrived here early with her team after lunch, but as soon as she arrived near Staples, the scene in front of her still surprised her.

"There are too many people..." Shen Yang muttered to himself as he looked at the surging crowd in front of him.

The Staples Center was originally one of the landmarks of Los Angeles and one of the holy places for basketball fans around the world. Unlike the generally remote locations of arenas in other cities, it is located in the downtown area of ​​Los Angeles, surrounded by the Staples Center. The large-scale business district formed has very complete facilities, and there is a lot of traffic here on weekdays.

But today is different. Today's Staples is literally surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. If you are far away, you can't even see where the Staples Center is. Walking on the street, people are walking shoulder to shoulder. You Wherever you go is completely controlled by the flow of people. You can't think of anything else and can only go with the flow.

The streets were filled with fans wearing Lakers uniforms, holding Lakers support signs, or holding signs of various players. Some of them even sang Lakers-related songs to support the Lakers.

This kind of scene is not unfamiliar to Shen Yang. Living in the metropolitan city of SH, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of the temple fair in SH. Now everything here really has the charm of a temple fair.

Shen Yang also found many faces that looked Asian from these people, and she also led the photography team to squeeze through the crowd to interview them!

"I'm not Chinese. I came here specifically. I booked the tickets a month ago just to see Ji Feng live. I didn't expect to meet the Lakers' 72-win record night. This is really lucky!" A bearded fan said excitedly while waving Ji Feng's No. 1 jersey.

"We are local Chinese in California. We got together a week ago and agreed to come to Los Angeles to cheer for Ji Feng. He is the light of our Chinese people. In school, if you say you are Chinese, he will raise his eyebrows at you. Thumbs up 'Ji Feng~! Very strong!', this feeling is really great, come on Ji Feng! We love you!" A tall and beautiful international student girl had the Lakers team logo painted on her face and was wearing Lakers No. 1 Ji Ji said to the camera, with a fan team of up to 40 people behind her.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Shen Yang even found many fans from Korea, Japan and even Southeast Asia appearing in the crowd.

"Asian fans cheer for peak season record night!" Shen Yang hurriedly wrote the title of this report before entering the stadium.

Not to mention the inside of the venue. Fans have not entered the venue and players have not arrived. However, the media has already started to fight for their seats. Hundreds of media from all over the world have gathered in the media area. From the outside, it seems that they can hardly get a foot in. .

The long guns and short cannons on the sidelines have also been set up, and they are only waiting for the players from the two teams to enter the field to warm up an hour later!

2:00!

The Lakers were the first to arrive at the venue through the player tunnel. The reporters, on behalf of the fans, burst into louder and louder shouts. Especially when Ji Feng, Kobe and Gasol came together, the shouts from the player tunnel went straight to the ceiling.

6 o'clock, in the locker room!

Both sides were making final preparations. Bynum bit off half a banana in one bite. In the past, he used hamburgers instead, but today in order to win, he didn't care whether he liked it or not. Energy was the most important thing.

In the player tunnel, Lakers players walked out of the locker room one after another.

The remaining 12 players gathered together, Ji Feng raised his hands high, and everyone's hands also gathered together: "WIN OR DIE!"

"LETS WIN THE GAME!" Fisher raised his arms and roared.

"WIN THE GAME!" Ji Feng shouted the last time along with everyone. Everyone dispersed and ran into the venue!

The Lakers home court was a sea of ​​purple and gold, the lights came on, and the appearance ceremony was over!

"This game is the last match between the Lakers and the Thunder. The Lakers had a 3-0 record before, and tonight is crucial for the Lakers. This is a key battle for whether they can catch up with the Bulls. They have already won 71 games. I definitely don’t want to wait again.”

"According to the schedule, this is also their last chance to tie. Their subsequent opponents include strong teams like the Nuggets and Rockets. It is also an away game, so you can imagine the difficulty. Tonight's opponent, the Thunder, is the weakest in terms of strength. One."

"However, based on the performance of the last game, the Lakers also need to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack in this game. As Durant said before the game, the Lakers are great, but no one is willing to achieve their greatness. They will definitely go all out to deal with it. of this game.”

Barkley and Smith chatted before the game in the live broadcast room.

At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides have all appeared. There is nothing to say. There are no changes in the starting lineups of both sides. At this time, they are staying the same to cope with the changes.

The two sides competed for the ball. From the look and feel of Bynum tonight, the difference from the previous game was obvious. His disastrous performance in the last game almost caused the team to be upset. Of course, he also suffered a lot of criticism and criticism after the game. pressure, and he also adjusted his condition in time before this game.

If nothing else, he beat Jeff Green to steal the ball!

The Lakers' first attack!

At the beginning, the Lakers advanced at a constant speed, Fisher controlled the ball, Gasol came up to the line to cover in a single block, and then Ji Feng caught the ball from the wing and hit a mid-range shot.

Stablize!

Ji Feng's goal gave worried Lakers fans reassurance that the Lakers will not play with fire tonight.

It's the Thunder's turn. Their tactics are very simple. Two individual singles with strong attack points. Westbrook dribbles the ball and passes it to Durant in the frontcourt. After the threat, Durant takes a step forward and shoots!

Durant is known as one of the most difficult players in the league to block shots. His height, wingspan and shooting style make it difficult for him to be restricted by defensive players. Blocking shots is even more impossible. Even Ji Feng would find it difficult to do so. , unless he makes a mistake himself, but his shooting percentage is not excellent at this time. Just like this ball, the basketball hit the front of the basket.

short!

"The opening was a bit tight," Yu Jia commented.

Yes, Durant wants to win too much, which leads to his unstable mentality, which has a great impact on his shooting percentage.

The Lakers were still relaxed. After Gasol grabbed the rebound, the Lakers continued to advance at a constant speed. The Lakers' tactics were to play steadily and not give the Thunder youth team a chance to rush forward.

Insider!

Bynum blocked his opponent with one shoulder and scored the ball!

With both inside and outside lines open, this game will be much easier for the Lakers.

The Thunder still fed Durant the ball, but tonight Durant was possessed by a blacksmith and hit the ball three times in a row before finally hitting a goal.

However, at that time, the Lakers had scored 10 points on all 5 shots, and the Lakers started with a 10-2 climax.

"I feel good." Many Lakers fans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Lakers would be stable if they played like this.

And the Lakers players are more confident. Ji Feng loudly called on his teammates to step up the offensive. No wait, we can tie the Bulls tonight!
