Los Angeles, Staples Center.
The head-to-head confrontation between the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant and the little emperor LeBron James has come to an end.
Two years ago, Kobe Bryant suffered a devastating injury to his Achilles tendon, but the injury did not bring him down.
In this game, he rejuvenated and scored 40 points efficiently.
On the Cavaliers' side, seven players scored in double figures. The little emperor scored a near-triple-double with 28 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, turning Kobe's 40 points tonight into nothing.
After defeating the Lakers, the Cavaliers continued their invincible streak and continued their winning streak.
In the next game, the Cavaliers will meet the Thunder, which is also a focus showdown.
The league's big and small kings James and Durant faced off for the first time after James left the Heat.
But now, all eyes are on one man.
That is Lu Yao from China.
In the post-game interview, Kobe held a microphone and answered reporters' questions.
"Excuse me Bryant, how do you feel about your performance today?"
Kobe shook his head, Mamba's unique stubbornness showing in his eyes.
"Not enough, not enough. Even though I scored better data, the team still didn't win."
The reporter continued to ask questions.
"So Bryant, what do you think of the recent rise of Lu Yao?"
Kobe smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said.
"I guess I can't make a comment yet, after all, I haven't played against him yet."
Then, Kobe's eyes turned cold and he continued.
"I really hope to have a hearty duel with him. What I am sure of is that I will win."
Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene.
Black Mamba Kobe actually publicly announced that he would challenge Lu Yao, but this is something that people like to hear.
A strong matchup will naturally make the game more exciting, which is great for the fans.
Two hours later, the discussion on the game that night was still in full swing on the China Basketball Forum.
"The little emperor is worthy of being a little emperor. He led the Cavaliers to five consecutive victories with an efficient game. Looking at this situation, I am afraid no one will be the opponent of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference this year."
"It seems that James is going to fulfill his promise and bring Cleveland its first championship."
"That's not necessarily true. The Warriors, who have suddenly emerged recently, are currently ranked first in the Western Conference. Their star Curry has an extremely accurate three-pointer. I think this year's championship may be them."
James and Curry, these two names have already become the favorites for this year's championship, and they also represent the stars of the strongest teams in the East and West.
But the appearance of a name broke this balance.
"I think it's too early for you to make a conclusion. Our Chinese rookie Lu Yao scored a 40+ triple-double at the Energy Center tonight!"
"The Thunder are now on the right track thanks to Lu Yao's two superb performances."
"What's more, the Thunder has the Thunder's second young player who is in full swing. I think this year's championship will be this young team."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the echo of many netizens.
"Yes, that's right, I said Lu Yao definitely has a bright future. This 40+ points made Kobe's 40+ points tonight a backdrop!"
"The brother upstairs is right. Lu Yao scored 40+ points in just three quarters, and he also filled up the data column, pressing Gasol to the ground and rubbing him hard!"
"Lu Yao is a player from China! No matter what, we must support him!"
"Lu Yao is really terrifying. He is 215cm tall, but he has accurate outside shooting and unstoppable inside offense. His defensive coverage is even more terrifying!"
"I didn't see Rose being blocked tonight. He had already taken the ball, but he was still blocked from behind."
"If Lu Yao continues this performance, then this season's MVP will most likely be him!"
Tonight, the name Lu Yao caused an uproar.
Not because of anything, just because the performance he showed in these two performances was really terrifying.
In the first game of his career, he came on as a substitute in the fourth quarter and scored 20+ points in a single quarter with a 100% shooting rate and a three-pointer to win the game!
In the second game of his career, he had already scored 40+ points in just three quarters, and was accompanied by a near-triple-double!
Such a performance in his rookie season was beyond the reach of even rookies Jordan, James, and O'Neal.
Who would have thought that he only played two NBA games!
Countless media have spoken highly of Lu Yao, and some even speculated that the best player this week will be Lu Yao!
In the two games this week, he averaged 30+ points per game, and his shooting percentage was a terrifying 75!
Almost no one doubts Lu Yao's performance this week.
After Dayao, China once again has a player who can shock the entire league, and that is Lu Yao!
Even Kobe and James can only serve as Lu Yao's foil tonight!
And now the Energy Center is broadcasting live interviews.
Many photographers held cameras and pointed at Lu Yao, who was wearing a towel.
Lu Yao wiped his sweat. The person holding the microphone to interview him was really Ma Fanshu.
Ma Fanshu is wearing a high ponytail at the moment, and the work clothes on her body show her smooth body curves, making her look like a workplace goddess.
Seeing Lu Yao was actually a little moved.
Ma Fanshu cleared her throat and asked Lu Yao.
"Lu Yao, how do you feel about tonight's performance?"
Lu Yao thought for a moment and then said: "We still need to improve, and our opponents are also very strong. We are just in better shape."
"As long as the team can win, any performance is worth it."
What Lu Yao didn't expect was that this speech would once again gain him many fans in China.
He is humble, competitive, and as stubborn as Jordan Kobe.
This kind of Lu Yao has to be liked.
Hearing this, Ma Fanshu smiled and nodded towards Lu Yao, and then continued to ask questions.
"So Lu Yao, what are your expectations for the next game against the Cavaliers?"
Faced with this question, Lu Yao licked his lips and answered.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game. It will be an honor to play against the four-time MVP."
"Although I respect James, we will definitely try our best to win tomorrow's game."
Immediately afterwards, Ma Fanshu continued to ask several questions, and Lu Yao also answered them one by one.
At this moment, Westbrook suddenly came out from behind, pointed at Lu Yao, and said.
"This is our hero tonight and our MVP!"
Lu Yao was obviously a little embarrassed after receiving Westbrook's unstinting praise.
"No, no!"
Although he said this, Lu Yao still felt proud in his heart.
…
The next morning, Lu Yao entered the Thunder's training gym.
