Chapter 217 Los Angeles Lakers!

At 6 p.m. on January 19, the Staples Arena was already full. As long as the 'Black Mamba' Kobe was still in Angel City for a day, he would have a huge box office appeal.

After the Orlando Magic defeated the Boston Celtics away, they came to Los Angeles again two days later to challenge the Lakers away.

They are desperate to end their away trip and return to their home court.

Wu Feng returned to Orlando at noon this day and participated in the afternoon training class.

Now, he is playing pre-match warm-ups with his teammates on the court.

The most enviable thing in the Lakers' audience is probably the endless stream of Hollywood and sports stars. In this highly anticipated game, they will naturally not be missing.

Jessica Alba, Spike Lee, Tiger Woods and others all came to the scene to watch tonight's game.

Tonight's game, TNT will be broadcast live throughout the whole process, which means that this game is broadcast throughout the United States. In China, this game has also received great attention.

The Lakers' starting five tigers: center Andrew Bynum, power forward Paul Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and organizational defender Derek Fisher.

Judging from the current Lakers lineup, point guards are the team's biggest weakness. Derek Fisher, and Steve Blake, the player, has not reached the level of starting point guard.

Derek Fisher's ability is good. But he is already very old.

His performance last season was indeed surprising, but he gradually lost his feelings during this season.

It is not a big problem for Steve Blake to be a substitute, but he may not be able to be the starting player. Moreover, he just came to Los Angeles in the new season and his chemistry with the team was not very good. His performance is much worse than last year.

The Magic have launched a starting lineup that is slightly different from the past. The five starters are: Nazel Mohamed and Dwight Howard, partnered with the inside, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, and organizational defender Wu Feng.

. "Twin Towers? Are you going to fight against the combination of Paul and Andrew?" Jackson, whispered after seeing the Magic's lineup.

Phil Jackson guessed well. The Magic's lineup of such a high lineup is naturally to fight against the Lakers' powerful inside line.

The game started on time. Andrew Bynum's mediocre jumping power made him less competitive in jumping balls.

Dwight Howard used his experience and bounce to easily ramble in front of Andrew Bynum, and the first attack will be launched by the Magic.

Derek Fisher is responsible for defending Wu Feng. For Derek Fisher, it is indeed a bit difficult to defend Wu Feng.

A change of direction easily left him behind. Derek Fisher was very capable of defensive prediction. However, when the speed was at an absolute disadvantage, he could only watch Wu Feng enter the inside.

The other Lakers players had no time to defend themselves, and Wu Feng quickly took two steps within the three-point line. His body was lightly rising into the air. At this time, only Paul Gasol and Andrew Bynum were left in the Lakers' inside line. Seeing that Wu Feng was so arrogant, he actually ignored the existence of the two.

Andrew Bynum jumped high outside the three-second zone, his huge body firmly sealed the angle of Wu Feng's layup, put his right hand on the top of his head, ready to give Wu Feng a shot at any time, and Paul Gasol was not out of weakness and became the second safety plug under the basket.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines with a very relaxed expression. Wu Feng's sudden activation just now did make him nervous, but seeing two inside players almost completely blocking the possibility of Wu Feng's layup, Phil Jackson felt relieved.

Seeing the Lakers' inside defense, Wu Feng couldn't help but secretly admire him. The two players' defenses were in succession, but they made up for the loopholes in the opponent's defense. If Wu Feng was not prepared, he would be helpless at this moment.

With Wu Feng's current personality, he has always been on the safe side in the game. As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care how to perform. After he successfully broke through, he has noticed that Andrew Bynum is quickly penetrated into the basket from the bottom line.

Seeing that the two bodies were about to collide, Wu Feng used the strength of his waist and abdomen to turn his body slightly to avoid Andrew Bynum. His wrists quickly pressed down and the ball hit the floor from Andrew Bynum's armpit.

The rebounding ball fell right in front of Nazel Mohammed. At this time, his right foot had already stepped into the three-second zone, and the ball was very comfortable to get.

Paul Gasol's heels were off the ground at this time. When he saw Wu Feng's passing, he was shocked and quickly stopped his strength and quickly made up for defense. However, after just so much time, Nazel Mohammed had already jumped high and raised the ball behind his head with both hands.

Paul Gasol realized it, but the center of gravity was too late to adjust, and his right hand was weakly slapped Bynum's right elbow.

"Bang" Nazel Mohamed dunk the ball into the basket. Paul Gasol's remedial action not only failed, but was called a foul by the referee, giving Nazel Mohamed a chance to play 2+1.

"Swish", the basketball fell steadily into the basket and led a circle of the Nets. Nazel Mohamed made a free throw, with a 2+1 hit!

Derek Fisher is the Lakers' main organizational defender, but his job is basically to take the ball safely over the half, and the ball will fall into Kobe's hands, especially Kobe's gradual transformation this season, making him, the organizational defender, increasingly disreputable.

Kobe's breakthrough is definitely top-notch in the league. His outstanding speed and excellent physical ability make him almost invincible in the breakthrough.

"Swish", Kobe made a mid-range shot by a jump shot by a jump shot.

On the Magic, Vince Carter missed the shot, and Paul Gasol took the defensive rebound.

Kobe received the ball at a high position, broke through Vince Carter and faced Wu Feng's backup defense. He turned around and jumped back to make a jump shot. With a "swish", another hollow shot was entered into the net.

Nazel Mohamed's jump shot made Andrew Bynum, who had not defended, completely unable to do anything. Seeing Nazel Mohamed's hand feel hot, Wu Feng was also happy to pass the ball into his hand and let him attack.

Seeing that the Pistons have slowly caught up with the score, to be honest, the Lakers are also a little worried. However, at the critical moment, they can hand the ball over to their team's boss Kobe. Kobe has not yet gotten angry!

When Kobe stepped past Gerald Wallace's defense in one step, Wu Feng immediately made up.

Although Wu Feng is very strong, his steps are also very agile and very agile. So Kobe is also a bit difficult to play against Wu Feng alone. But this is not a problem for Kobe. He is one of the most sharp players in the league with active offense. Kobe played against Wu Feng alone on his back, pushed Wu Feng twice, then turned around and used his killer move to use his trump card to jump back. However, under Wu Feng's strict defense, Kobe's jump back failed to hit. Wu Feng felt a little happy.

However, the rebound was snatched by Paul Gasol and the second offense was scored.

Fortunately, Nazel Mohamed also responded to his opponent with a jump shot from the penalty area.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe cut from the left wing with the ball, used Andrew Bynum's pick-and-roll to get rid of Wu Feng's defense and successfully broke into the inside. Facing Nazel Mohamed's penalty area defense, Kobe did not retreat at all, and directly shook the latter, a beautiful basket pick. Unfortunately, this basket pick did not hit. The rebound was snatched by Nazel Mohamed.

Kobe looked at the basket depressedly and made a shooting gesture. Then he shook his head.

After all, the veteran is a veteran, and he is obviously more experienced than young players. Nazel Mohamed pushed the ball to his teammate with Andrew Bynum. The one who received the ball was Vince Carter. After receiving the ball, Vince Carter transported it twice and passed the half, then handed it to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng stabilized his formation. Now it is not the time to play fast attack. The five opponents are in the defensive zone. It is obviously unreasonable to play fast attack. Derek Fisher, the little fish of the past has now become an old fish. Although he is still very hard in defense, it is a pity that defending Wu Feng's speed skill type still makes Derek Fisher very difficult.

Wu Feng glanced at the inside, and Dwight Howard pulled out of the inside and took the initiative to make a pick-and-roll for Wu Feng.

After getting Dwight Howard's help, Wu Feng got rid of Derek Fisher's defense even more easily. After breaking into the inside, facing Kobe's misaligned defense, Wu Feng swung his hand and passed the ball to Gerald Wallace in the right wing bottom corner. Gerald Wallace opened his hand and made a three-pointer, and with a "swish", he really made it.

Kobe smiled slightly and gave Wu Feng a thumbs up. A hint of joy also arose in Wu Feng's heart, but then he suppressed the joy and quickly retreated to defend.

After halftime, Derek Fisher passed the ball to Kobe without hesitation. Kobe did not attack, but instead hung the ball to Paul Gasol, who had performed well recently.

After Paul Gasol received the ball, he drove the ball with his back a few times, then shook his hand left and right, and the ball also entered.

With a "bang", Wu Feng missed a jump shot by a quick stop, and Kobe grabbed the backcourt rebound. With a "swish", Paul Gasol hit another goal.

Wu Feng used a force to beat Derek Fisher to successfully narrow the gap to the gap, which was considered a response to Kobe.

"Bang" another ironclad sound, Dwight Howard happily accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Wu Feng.

Through the confrontation with Derek Fisher, Wu Feng learned that although Derek Fisher's strength is not weak, his speed and agility are far inferior to before, especially his defense ability and physical strength have great problems. Wu Feng believes that he will no longer have much trouble breaking through Derek Fisher now.

Seeing Wu Feng breaking through his side and making a layup, Derek Fisher was not happy and hugged Wu Feng. He used a foul to limit Wu Feng to score easily. Derek Fisher was quite conscious. But then he thought about it, Derek Fisher understood that he could not use fouls to limit him!

At this time, Kobe walked to Derek Fisher and whispered to him: "Leave that Chinese boy to me!"

After hearing Kobe's words, Derek Fisher nodded happily.

The Magic team served the sideline ball. As soon as Wu Feng received the ball, Kobe followed him. Wu Feng was shocked. Could it be that Kobe was defending me?

But Wu Feng was not at all panic. Wu Feng was naturally very excited to be able to fight with the best players in the current service, and his fighting spirit became stronger in his heart. He had reached the highest point.

However, the rookie is a rookie after all, and Wu Feng is only 19 years old this year, so he started fighting with Kobe, the best player in the league. Wu Feng was still a little nervous. Wu Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch and seemed not as skilled as before. Kobe had such rich experience. He took the ball like lightning and directly pulled it off.

After breaking the ball, Kobe ran straight away with the ball and rushed to the Magic's basket with his hands behind his back to score.

Wu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead helplessly, and then ran to his half to prepare to receive the serve. After receiving the ball, Wu Feng took a deep breath and then slowly spit out, stabilizing his rhythm.

"You must be calm, otherwise you will still have flaws." Wu Feng muttered in his heart.

After halftime, Wu Feng calmly scanned the whole game. At this time, Vince Carter pulled up and walked around Wu Feng. Wu Feng directly handed the player to Vince Carter's hand, and then made a pick-and-roll for Vince Carter, blocking Derek Fisher, who defended Vince Carter.

After Vince Carter did not defend, he increased his speed to the fastest and rushed into the Lakers' inside line. He then scored a dunk with both hands, and caused Paul Gasol to foul.

This ball was played very beautifully, and it was inseparable from Wu Feng's clever cooperation.

Today, the commentator of this game was Yao Ming's mentors Jeff Van Gundy and Reggie Miller. After all, this was a national live game, so the commentary of both of them was very formal.

What made Magic players more happy was that Magic General Manager Ortis Smith also came to the scene to watch the game.

Therefore, when Vince Carter completed this slam dunk, the Magic seemed extremely excited.

Lakers head coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson did not react much when he saw Paul Gasol receive another foul, but he just frowned slightly, but did not replace him. Paul Gasol has only received one foul so far, so Phil Jackson is not in a hurry to replace him.

Vince Carter made a free throw and made a free throw.

Phil Jackson still sat there watching the game with an indifferent look on his face, as if you never saw a trace of panic in his face. Of course, if the referee kept staring at the Lakers' inside whistle, he would jump up and get angry. If the "Zen Master" doesn't get angry, he is also afraid of people when he starts to get angry.

Now that the Lakers are still leading, he naturally has the mood to sit there and watch the game and chew gum leisurely.

Kobe was in possession of the ball, Vince Carter stuck it tightly and kept using small movements to interfere with Kobe. However, these did not make Kobe make mistakes. Kobe dribbled behind the ball, pulled the ball to the left and jumped directly to the ball. With a "swish", the basketball fell into the basket in a flowing manner.

The Magic did not play in the next wave of attacks. Paul Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Derek Fisher. Derek Fisher passed the ball through the half, and then saw Kobe's upward gesture and quickly threw the ball into the upper right air of the basket. However, the ball passed a little, and Kobe was not very comfortable to catch.

But even so, he still completed the air relay in the air. However, because he did not cooperate well, it was not an all-access dunk, but a simple aerial layup. But although this was just a simple aerial layup, it was very difficult. After Kobe completed this layup, the difficulty was also because the cooperation was too difficult, and his body lost its center of gravity and fell from mid-air. Fortunately, Kobe had a strong sense of protection, so he was not injured.

Wu Feng's speed is still very advantageous, and even Kobe is slightly inferior. Because he has mastered his mentality, he is no longer as nervous as before when facing Kobe and Wu Feng.

Continuous dribbling under his crotch, and then crossover, he threw Kobe away. Seeing Kobe being broken through, Derek Fisher immediately came over to assist Wu Feng. Seeing Derek Fisher pounce, Wu Feng was not in a hurry. A relaxed pass from behind was handed over to Vince Carter in the distance. Vince Carter received a pull-out jump shot and scored 2 points steadily.

Seeing Wu Feng breaking through Kobe, after this beautiful cooperation with Vince Carter, especially when he saw Wu Feng's relaxed and clever pass behind the ball, there was another burst of cheers on the scene.

"Wu's pass is getting better and better." Reggie Miller said to Jeff Van Gundy beside him with a smile.

"Yes, his performance will be more mature at the beginning of the game season," Jeff Van Gundy replied.

Vince Carter's defense is almost unprepared for Kobe. He took advantage of his physical advantages and easily broke through the Magic's first layer of defense.

In the new season, Kobe made few shots in the first half, but instead focused all his energy on passing and defense. The second half was the moment when he really scored points, which was the biggest difference between Kobe and last year.

When Kobe broke through to the near-free throw line, he transferred the ball to Derek Fisher. Wu Feng was always following Derek Fisher. After getting the ball, he not only did not have a chance to take action, but was almost cut off by Wu Feng.

The ball returned to Kobe's hands, but at this time he had no chance to take action. Gerald Wallace had appeared in front of him.
