NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

The pre-match warm-up ended quickly, and the starting lineups of both teams took to the field!

For the Los Angeles Clippers, Andre Iguodala and Kaman were the first to step onto the court!

After them, Kevin Love, Stephen Curry, and Ye Chu walked onto the court side by side!

"The Los Angeles Clippers have had an outstanding season, currently boasting an 11-0 record that dominates the entire league!"

"Now this young army has encountered its greatest enemy on its path to becoming king!"

"The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers have also encountered what may be their biggest enemy on their road to defending the title!"

As soon as the two commentators finished speaking, the Lakers fans in Staples Center erupted in cheers!

Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup!

Derek Fisher was the first to take the court, followed by Ron Artest.

Pau Gasol and Andre Bynum are positioned on the left and right sides, respectively.

Standing among them, stretching his shoulders as he stepped onto the court, was none other than the true king of Los Angeles—Kobe Bryant!

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

When Kobe stepped onto the court, the arena erupted in a deafening roar of cheers!

This is a habit that Lakers fans have maintained throughout the entire season, and they can't lose this habit even when facing their crosstown rivals, the Clippers!

"That's the influence Kobe Bryant had in Los Angeles!"

Meanwhile, Paul George and Gordon Hayward, sitting among the cheering fans, were also quite impressed.

This scene.....

It's really hard to describe in words.

As the players from both teams entered the court, various media outlets on the sidelines focused their cameras on the Clippers' number 3 and the Lakers' number 24, who were playing side by side!

The red jerseys of the Los Angeles Clippers at away games contrasted sharply with the gold jerseys of the Los Angeles Lakers at home games!

The image of Ye Chu standing side by side with Kobe Bryant is destined to become a classic!

As cameras clicked continuously throughout the stadium, the starting centers of both teams stepped up to the center line!

The referee tossed the ball high into the air!

Kaman and Bynum jumped almost at the same time, but the ball was ultimately passed from Bynum to Fisher!

The defending champions, the Lakers, playing at home, dominated possession on the very first possession of the game!

Fisher dribbled the ball across half-court and decisively passed it to Kobe, who was calling for the ball on the left side of the three-point line.

What offensive tactics does the Los Angeles Lakers employ first?

Of course, we should give the ball to Kobe!

"Oh!"

The moment Kobe received the ball and faced Ye Chu, the entire arena fell silent, everyone watching intently.

All the fans in front of the TV instantly dropped what they were holding and stared intently at the screen.

At this moment, football fans all over the world stared intently at their television screens with a mixture of anticipation and tension.

This was Ye Chu's first time facing Black Mamba, a powerhouse at his peak. He was very nervous, and could feel the oppressive aura emanating from his opponent even standing right in front of him.

Whenever Kobe got the ball and stood there, he felt as if a black mamba viper was lurking in the shadows on the vast plains, waiting to prey on him – a place fraught with danger!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Kobe started dribbling, adjusting his rhythm slowly in front of Ye Chu, who dared not be careless and kept a close eye on him.

When he saw Ye Chu awkwardly blocking his way with slightly nervous and uneasy steps, he acted as if he were a king surveying his territory, mocking her in a condescending tone: "You seem very nervous?"

"But you weren't like this when you were interviewed by the media before the match!"

Kobe continued speaking to himself, his gaze growing increasingly sharp and menacing as he pressed towards Ye Chu: "If you're really scared, you can have Andre come over to defend you; after all, he's experienced!"

For Kobe, who had been in the NBA for so many years, he had certainly seen a lot of arrogant rookies.

But there really aren't any young people like Ye Chu who would speak so openly in media interviews.

He really wanted to know who gave Ye Chu the courage to provoke him before the match even started.

Is it Fish Leong?

At the same time, on the other side

Ye Chu, who had been repeatedly provoked by Kobe, was also furious.

He took a deep breath and said fiercely, "No matter how good you are, you can only win the Most Valuable Player trophy once..."

I refuse to believe I can't defend against you!

With this thought in mind, the nervousness he felt when he first met the Black Mamba vanished instantly, replaced by a faint sense of excitement.

come on!

Look at you, already past your prime, what can you still do for me now!

Even if he sees himself as the villain challenging his opponent, Ye Chu will still be assertive and shake his throne!

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ye Chu was indulging in all sorts of fantasies, Kobe suddenly sprang into action, moving with the speed and ferocity of a tiger, attempting to shake off Ye Chu's defense with a single change of direction.

Ye Chu's expression faltered, and she immediately realized what was happening and chased after them.

"Ok??"

"This kid's got some skills!"

In the past, even if Kobe couldn't shake off his defender with his first step, he could still create some distance between them. However, he found that Ye Chu seemed to be a little faster than him and was following him closely, never leaving his side.

The Los Angeles Clippers' defense quickly collapsed, shutting down Kobe!

At this moment

Kobe passed the ball to Fisher, who was positioned on the left side of the three-point line. Fisher dribbled past Curry and drove into the paint.

"Damn!"

at the same time

Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Kobe closely, going wherever he went.

His only target in this game was Kobe; help defense was not his job.

Kobe was entangled by Ye Chu and unable to get into the paint, so he simply gave up on the idea of ​​receiving a pass and let Fisher rush into the paint and pass the ball to Bynum.

"Oh!"

The latter received the ball and tried to drive to the basket over Kevin Love.

But Love wasn't one to be trifled with, and he slammed the ball down with a powerful block.

The rebound was grabbed by Iguodala, who happened to be passing by, and the Lakers' offense ended there.

Curry received a pass from Iguodala, dribbled past the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Ye Chu, who was positioned on the left side of the three-point line.

As soon as Curry's pass arrived, Kobe appeared in front of him as well, eyeing him menacingly.

Compared to the offensive end

Kobe exerted even more pressure on Ye Chu on the defensive end. Just by standing in front of him, Ye Chu could feel the intimidating aura emanating from Kobe.

In fact

Kobe's defense was among the best in the league.

"Whoo~"

Ye Chu took a deep breath and dribbled with the ball when Kobe quickly moved towards Ye Chu's right side.

The right side is often the breakthrough route that more people are good at taking.

As Ye Chu pulled the ball back, Kobe easily turned around and seized the opportunity to slap down Ye Chu's hand that was controlling the ball.

"Snapped!"

The ball was fast and powerful. Even though Ye Chu reacted and tried to collect it, the basketball was still knocked away, which startled him so much that he immediately turned his back and tried to regain possession.

Once Ye Chu gained possession of the ball, he could no longer dribble and had to either pass it out or force a shot himself.

He chose to pass the ball to Curry at the top of the key.

"Whoosh!"

Curry dribbled into the penalty area, but was tightly marked by Fisher and unable to move. Ye Chu found an opening and rushed over to receive the pass.

When he reached the baseline under the basket, he received a pass from Curry and, before Kobe could set up his defense, pulled up and shot!

Kobe quickly closed in from the side, and as if teleporting, he suddenly jumped up, trying to block the basketball.

pity....

Ye Chu's shot was incredibly fast. Just as he extended his palm, the basketball flew over Gasol's head and plunged into the net!

"Shh!"

2: 0!
