Chapter 95 Elvis Presley strikes!

The entire Staples Center was also buzzing today.

Kobe's almost incomprehensible performance on the offensive end made the fans hooked.

And Wang Chao's versatility also surprised the fans.

Call the team this is a treasure.

In the end, the Orlando Magic were completely unprepared and were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers with a 1 point difference!
Dwight Howard, who suffered another defeat this season, gradually lost his smile.

Instead, there was a look of confusion.

Obviously the Magic rely on three-pointers, and with such an excellent configuration, the Lakers also rely on three-pointers today.

Why did the Lakers beat the Magic by a big score today?
You know, the Lakers don't have a monster like Howard inside.

In Howard's view, the system played by the Lakers is far less efficient and reasonable than the one-star system of the Magic!
Without rebound protection, how can outside shooters be so confident?!
Could it be that magic is really not suitable for winning the championship, is it a matter of feng shui?
Kobe didn't know about this game, which made Warcraft plan to leave the team.

At the TNT symposium in the evening, members of the TNT commentary team talked about this topic in detail.

"To be honest, if I don't review this game carefully, I do feel that the Magic and the Lakers' systems are somewhat similar." "

Charles Barkley opened the topic: "There are also a lot of outside three-pointers, but the Lakers can beat the Magic by a big score."

"After carefully watching the game videos of the two teams, the answer to this question is actually very clear."

Kenny Smith analyzed: "The Orlando Magic only have three-pointers, but the Lakers have more than three-pointers."

First of all, the Magic and the Lakers do rely on three-pointers to complete most of the offensive rounds.

But the difference is that the magic archers only have one-handed archery.

Their defense is very stretched.

This is why Howard can become the best defensive player.

He really supported the defensive system of the Orlando Magic team alone.

On the offensive end, he is a one-star shooter, and on the defensive end, he is a god and four pits.

On the other hand, the Lakers.

Whether it is Wang Chao, Artest, or the team leader Kobe Bryant, in addition to three-pointers, these three players also played a pivotal role on the defensive end.

The three shooters of the Lakers combined their offensive and defensive effects to blow up the Magic's shooters.

"There's a more important point."

Reggie Miller added: "The Los Angeles Lakers have Kobe."

"Kobe is the core that dominates all the tactical systems of the Lakers. He has a strong ability to attack independently and can hold the ball without the ball."

"And on the defensive end, he can also affect the situation of the game like his four teammates."

To put it bluntly, the essential difference between the Lakers and the Magic is that the Lakers have Kobe and the Magic have no Kobe.

Charles Barkley applauds what Reggie Miller said.

The whole team is talking about Kobe's feeling, which is comfortable!
TNT analyzes the similarities and differences between the Lakers and the Magic.

Anyway, blowing the Lakers is over!

With the win over the Magic, the Lakers are just three games away from tying their 19-game winning streak, the second-longest in team history.

As long as they can win the next game, the Lakers can surpass the team's glorious history and create a new chapter!
USA, Los Angeles, Staples Center.

The commentator from the ABC TV station on the sidelines said with a smile: "Before today, the Lakers led by Kobe maintained a winning streak, and there are only 3 games left to break the record set by the 'OK' dynasty."

"If they can win today, this game will be a game for them to chase the team history record!"

"Look at the crazy Lakers fans on the sidelines, they can't accept a loss today!"

Just like the narrator said.

The fans in the Staples Center arena are already packed, and the cheers are endless.

Some fans even held up billboards that read: We need to make new history!
December 12th, US time.

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

Lakers vs. Charlotte Bobcats!
Earlier this year, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, officially acquired the Charlotte Bobcats.

Transform from a field elite to a team executive.

But I have to say that Boss Qiao's vision of people is still very problematic.

Coupled with the fact that he likes to intervene in the team's personnel operations, many outside experts are not optimistic about the Bobcats' prospects in the NBA.

Of course, the Charlotte Bobcats are still quite effective.

Last season, they just entered the playoffs, and the new Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace even entered the All-Star last season and was selected as the best defensive player!
Today, facing Los Angeles, Bobcats coach Larry Brown is preparing to let Gerald Wallace test Wang Chao's level!

Larry Brown, who has never been very fond of rookies, has to beat this young man who is getting better on the opposite side.

"Leave it to me, Coach."

Gerald Wallace, full of confidence, patted his chest before the game and promised: "I will never let that kid score in double figures!"

As for the guarantee of the core of the team, Larry Brown is quite at ease.

This is an All-Defensive Team-level defense!
No matter how amazing Wang Chao is, I am afraid that he will hit the rookie wall today!

If you want to win the game, I'm sorry, I have no such plan.

During the warm-up session between the two teams, Larry Brown also had a rare chat with his old opponent Phil Jackson on the sidelines.

"For a rookie, let him hone and hone more."

Larry Brown looked at Wang Chao who was chatting with his teammates during the warm-up round: "Phil, it's not like you to let a rookie go like this."

"Wang Chao is not a rookie."

Phil Jackson had a smile on his face: "He can't miss the core of the team now. I never regarded him as a rookie."

"Larry, our old minds need to change."

Before parting ways, Zen Master Phil half-joked: "Times have changed."

Now is the age of youth!

"The times have changed?"

Larry Brown shook his head.

Maybe times do change, but not today!

Soon, the pre-match warm-up was over, and the starting players of the two teams stepped onto the court!
Charlotte Bobcats starting: DJ-Augustin + Gerald - Wallace + Stephen - Jackson + Muhammad + Dior!
The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers has not changed, it is still: Wang Chao + Artest + Bynum + Paul Gasol, and Kobe!

Today is still Wang Chao's performance time. It seems that there is nothing wrong with using a weaker team to train Wang Chao.

The center forwards of both sides stand on the center line, and the referee throws the ball high.

Bynum transferred the ball to Artest's hands, and the Lakers dominated the offensive ball for the first attack in the opening game!

Artest held the ball for halftime, and the eyes of the fans of the home team had already fallen on Wang Chao who was running from the flank!

"The defender Wang Chao faces today will be Gerald Wallace!"

"The player of the best defensive team last season!"

"That's right, look at Wallace's close defense against Wang Chao's running without the ball, his footsteps are also very fast!"

Indeed, Gerald Wallace's best defense is not for nothing!

But Wang Chao did not try his best.

After observing the opponent's defensive positioning, Wang Chao ran back at an accelerated speed, directly throwing away Wallace, and at the same time reached out for the ball from outside the three-point line!
Artest passed the ball without hesitation!
"Shh!"

Wang Chao shot the ball as soon as he caught it, and easily hit the net with a three-pointer!
Los Angeles easily scored the first point of the opening game!
"Gerald Wallace seemed to be in a daze for a moment? Wang Chao seized the opportunity and ran out of neutral!"

"Don't give Wang Chao any room to shoot. He will hit three-pointers from all angles on the court!"

"Wang Chao is like Kobe without the ball. As long as he gets the ball, he will basically not waste the ball."

During the conversation, the Bobcats advanced offensively, Wallace singled out Artest to no avail, and the rebound was collected by Gasol!

The Lakers' positional battle was still Wang Chao and Wallace's running and fighting within the three-point line. In the end, Wang Chao was able to get rid of the opportunity smartly, and the three-pointer hit was fatal!
0:[-]!

The Lakers' lead continues!
Kobe was still doing off-ball pick-and-rolls, attracting the Bobcats' defensive attention. Seeing Wang Chao being defended by Wallace, he didn't go to pick-and-rolls. He wanted to test how much Wang Chao had learned recently.

Although the wind of the deal is getting weaker and weaker, Kobe knows Kupchak too well. This guy wants to make a great deal too much. Even if it is to break up the championship team, this guy must get rid of that person's shadow.

The worst thing is that he has no way to change it yet, Wang Chao and Paul choose one, which makes him in a dilemma.

Looking back, Wu Sheng Stephen Jackson broke the Bobcats scoring shortage with a mid-range shot, but on the defensive end, Gerald Wallace couldn't catch up with Wang Chao's running speed at all, and could only watch helplessly. Score!

8: 2!

Only one and a half minutes into the game, Wang Chao scored 8 points from outside, helping the team get off to a fantastic start!

Larry Brown couldn't sit still on the sidelines, stood up and stood by the billboard, and yelled at Gerald Wallace!
Gerald Wallace on the court also looked helpless.

It's not that he didn't defend with all his strength!
It's just that I really can't catch up with Wang Chao's movement!

This kid from the Celestial Dynasty is even more talented than he thought. You can tell how good this guy's waist is from the dry drawing.

The Bobcats recovered two points on the offensive end and returned to the defensive end. Wallace made up his mind and must show a playoff-level defensive attitude to guard against Wang Chao!
However, the Lakers' pick-and-roll wall made Gerald Wallace's defense hopes shattered again!
Seeing that Wang Chao was about to make another three-pointer, Wallace avoided the crowd and rushed towards Wang Chao!

Even if he fouled, he couldn't let Wang Chao hit a three-pointer again!
"Snapped!"

Wallace's forward arm slapped Wang Chao's right arm crisply!
"beep!"

The next second, the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle in his hand!
"Gerald Wallace's three-point rule...but Wang Chao has already shot!"

The commentator on the sidelines stared at the basketball flying out of mid-air: "This ball... hit!"

"My God! Wang Chao hit his fourth personal shot of the game and caused a defensive foul by Gerald Wallace. He got an extra penalty!"

"He will have a chance to complete a 3+1!"

"Nice!"

Wang Chao punched hard. The anti-interference shooting practiced by Kobe recently was really effective. It was not in vain that he had to be beaten every day at 03:30 in the morning.

When you are shooting, the trainer directly hits your back or arm with a wooden stick to distract you, thereby reducing your shooting rate. You have to find that balance point. God knows what kind of devil training method this is, but Wang Chao still insists. down.

Fortunately, there has been progress. Seeing that Mamba's facial muscles have relaxed a little, Wang Chao is also relieved. It is not easy to be a nagging apprentice.
