"Of course I'm going to give it my all. Seriously, Kobe is one of the best scorers of this era, and the Lakers are the best team in the league, so I'd love to try my hand at it, and I'm still very fond of myself. confident."
At the pre-match press conference the next day, in front of hundreds of media around the world, Zuo Li gave a relaxed response.
It's more lively now.
All kinds of remarks were flying all over the sky for a while, and the fans of Zuo Li and Kobe were also scrambling to get off the court, giving each other support and encouragement for the teams and stars they supported.
And the fans of the Lakers and Knicks are not as rational as individual fans. Although Kobe and Zuo Li directly faced each other, the topic was brought up by Kobe first, and many fans were waiting to see the stars against Biao.
The fans of the team are different. Los Angeles and New York are the top two cities in the United States. As the leading cities on the east and west coasts of the United States, people in these two cities look down on each other, and there are wars of words between them everywhere on the Internet. figure.
However, compared with the tragic Knicks fans, the Lakers fans are much happier. Basketball has always been a great weapon for them to suppress New York. In the eyes of the Lakers fans, the Knicks are a 'rotten apple', and there is no background at all.
But Knicks fans think that they are no longer the Knicks they used to be. The two met and played lively on the Internet.
s became a brand new position, fans attacked each other with pictures of Zuo Li and Kobe, and the number of participants reached 100,000 at one point.
This may be the originator of the later Doutu War.
The fans had a lively fight, and the media was naturally unwilling to lag behind. The American media warmed up the game between the Knicks and the Lakers tonight, especially Zuo Li and Kobe who can get more in this game. Scores have become the most controversial topic for a while.
In such a discussion, the Knicks bus arrived at the gate of Staples on time.
Outside is a dark group of reporters, stuffing the surrounding area to the brim.
But the Knicks have long been accustomed to it, and in terms of reporter numbers and madness, Los Angeles does have to rank behind New York.
However, the atmosphere in the car was still a little tense, especially Dragic, who took deep breaths repeatedly to relieve his nervousness before getting out of the car.
He'll be the starting point guard tonight.
This is the first time he has participated in such a focused battle, and he knows the reason why D'Antoni made him start. Compared with Du Hong, he is more suitable for playing pick-and-roll with Zuo Li.
"Don't be nervous, trust yourself." Zuo Li saw his nervousness, patted him on the shoulder, and immediately got off the bus.
"Huh, as expected of Zuo Li, he is a rookie, why don't you see him nervous at all." Dragic really improved, looking at Zuo Li's back, full of admiration.
"Shhh~! Don't compare with him, not everyone has Zuo Li's big heart, just like not every rookie is qualified to be valued by Kobe, some people are born for big scenes, this is The real chosen son." Old Jianghu Randolph came up and whistled.
Then he turned around and shouted to the others in the car: "Guys, tonight belongs to Zuo Li, I think we have to help him, tonight, we have a big fight!"
"That's right, we're going to smash them tonight!"
"Don't worry, Zuo Li's business is mine!"
"It's time for Los Angeles to get a taste of New York's fist!"
The crowd was excited, and Dragic also roared twice. At this time, he didn't feel nervous anymore, and some only had the will to fight.
Who doesn't want to prove themselves in such an occasion?
But he is not nervous, someone is nervous!
At the same time that Zuo Li and the others finished their warm-up and entered the locker room, Ao Mei and her two older sisters arrived here together.
"What to do, what to do, I'm so nervous!"
The second sister sitting in the seat grabbed the eldest sister's hand and stomped her feet constantly, her face turning red.
"Hey hey hey, you're so nervous, it's not your boyfriend." The eldest sister rolled her eyes.
"Cut, I don't believe you're not nervous."
"Why should I be nervous!"
"Then why are you shaking, your chest is about to come out."
"…Shut up Mary! If you don't want me to throw you out!"
"Don't, just a little bit~"
Ao Mei helplessly watched her two sisters quarrel, but her nervousness also dropped a lot. Last night, she didn't sleep well when she knew Kobe was about to fight. As a native of Los Angeles, Kobe's name and strength are naturally very good. Clearly, she was worried that Zuo Li would lose.
And he was also worried about Curry. Naturally, he couldn't come to the scene, but he also waited in front of the TV early.
In this highly anticipated matchup, Curry naturally supported Zuo Li, his good brother, although Kobe was one of his idols.
However, he still felt that Zuoli was a bit difficult in his heart. Whether it was the coach, the team or the individual strength, this season is undoubtedly the peak of Kobe and the Lakers, and the Knicks are still close.
"Hope you don't lose too badly." Curry looked at the screen and thought: "Bah ah! I won't lose, even if the team loses, Zuo Li won't lose!"
Curry clenched his fists to cheer Zuo Li, and also cheered himself up by the way, but his expression was so grim that Ayesha, who was next to him, almost called the police.
In a few hours...
At 7 p.m. on the 18th, the Staples Center was full of stars, and 20,000 audience members were already hungry.
Kobe's appointment and Zuo Li's response undoubtedly made the game full of highlights. With the residual heat of the whole day, everyone couldn't wait, and everyone was waiting for the start of the game.
As an American, who would refuse a Biaofen war?
On the tnt live station, Smith also began to output:
"I want to say that the gap between the Knicks and the top teams is still quite large. The biggest highlight of tonight's game is of course Zuo Li and Kobe's duel. Kobe is a scoring machine. Obsessed with individual offense, but he can do anything if he wants to."
"Zuo Li has proven his ability to score in three 50+ games this season. His style of play and strong physical fitness allow him to often play one-on-two on the inside, and his scoring is closer to the basket. The result is extremely high efficiency, and the current average of 788 hits per game is disdain for the league."
"What kind of sparks will the two meet when they meet?!"
"Look at the big screen!" Barkley directly transformed himself into a master of giggles.
The starting two teams are played in real time on the big screen.
Lakers: Bynum ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Gasol, Ariza, Kobe, Fisher.
Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Larry Hughes, Dragic.
Both sides stand.
Kobe and Zuo Li didn't say hello. Obviously they had the same idea, that is, to console each other with the attitude of a winner at the end of the game!
"The game started! Zuoli jumped to the ball again." Kenny Smith said.
Bynum looked unhappy, and he landed and stopped directly in front of Zuo Li. Zuo Li was about to attack quickly, but was blocked by Bynum. The two bumped into each other. Bynum secretly pushed Zuo Li with his arm. Bundle.
"Beep~!"
Zuo Li sat directly on the floor, which showed how powerful the collision was. Of course, there were also Zuo Li who never thought that Bynum would strike ruthlessly in the first place.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the referee called Bynum a foul.
D'Antoni was very angry, and he shouted angrily: "This is not a physical foul?!"
But the referee ignored it.
