Staples Arena was buzzing with people and excitement.
Many Christmas-related elements were prepared on site, and the gift bags sent by the home team also carried Christmas blessings.
But for die-hard Lakers fans, the most important purpose of tonight is victory.
As a series of activities ended, the lights dimmed, and the home DJ welcomed the Lakers starting players on the stage with a passionate voice.
"...Next, let us welcome, the guard from Syracuse University, six feet six inches tall, the youngest triple-double winner in history, NCAA championship winner, Tony... Sue!!!"
Su! Su! Su!
The Staples Center was in an uproar, and everyone started shouting at the top of their lungs.
Su Feng ran to the center of the field, his first time in Stamps with the first pick.
There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that the team's super player is either the first to appear or the last to appear.
This shows that Su Feng's team status has been substantially improved.
It can also be seen from the cheers of the audience that Su Feng has already conquered this group of picky fans.
"There are so many celebrities coming to the sidelines tonight, it's Los Angeles as expected."
As TNT's cameras panned from the sidelines, Kenny Smith called out a few names: "Leonardo, Nichols, Denzel Washington, Britney, Madonna. Oh, and Lindsay Lohan." "
"Is this little Disney princess here to see how Tony Sue was beaten in the nose by the Spurs?"
Kenny Smith quipped.
This also triggered the imagination of the viewers in front of the TV. The news that Su Feng beat Lindsay Lohan to tears has always been high. Unexpectedly, there will now be a follow-up to the Christmas War. Will they go head-to-head tonight?
"Kenny, who do you think is going to win tonight? The Spurs or the Lakers?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith.
"I support the Spurs. The lack of Shaquille O'Neal has a huge impact on the Lakers," Smith said.
"But they added Tony Sue," Barkley said.
"Tony Sue hasn't reached Shaq's level yet. Unless, you really teach him some super skills." Kenny Smith joked with a smile.
This made Barkley a little embarrassed.
Because TNT not only broadcast Su Feng's unique pre-match interview on the national channel, but also showed Barkley teaching Su Feng to practice.
This made Barkley very passive, and he prayed in his heart...Tony must not use those tricks. If I don't fight well, my reputation will be completely ruined.
However, the fans in front of the TV are looking forward to it.
During this period, Su Feng's super learning ability has attracted special attention from fans. It is widely rumored that he has Isiah Thomas' dribbling, Larry Bird's passing, Scottie Pippen's layup, Karl Malone backboard. Now, what did he learn from Charles Barkley?
With the blessing of these superstar skills, he should also be able to become a superstar, right?
For this reason, fans often discuss it.
The answers vary.
Some people say that Su Feng will definitely become stronger by integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
But some people say that everyone's skills are closely related to their physical fitness. It's just an empty show, it's of no use.
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The Lakers' starting lineup is: Gary Payton, Su Feng, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, Medenkovich.
The Spurs' starting lineup is: Tony Parker, Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Nesterovic.
Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.
Karl Malone and Tim Duncan jumped the ball, with Duncan easily beating Malone.
Tony Parker took the ball and moved forward, and Su Feng followed Ginobili.
The matchup between Su Feng and Ginobili is an important aspect of this game. Recently, many basketball experts have been comparing Su Feng and Ginobili.
They believe that the two people have great similarities and are outstanding representatives of foreign defenders.
"Do you think you will score higher than me tonight?" Ginobili asked Su Feng while running.
Su Feng nodded: "Yes."
"I do not believe."
Ginobili and Su Feng competed.
As he spoke, he quickly cut inside. His running without the ball was quite strange, and his running posture was unusual.
Ordinary defenders can easily be stunned by him.
However, Su Feng's running skills are super level. He quickly caught Ginobili's running trajectory and followed him closely.
Ginobili went around in circles but couldn't shake it off.
This surprised Popovich on the sidelines.
He realized that Su Feng's rapid rise was by no means unfounded.
At this moment, Duncan turned his body to cover for Ginobili very tacitly, which delayed Su Feng's movement. Ginobili was able to receive the ball in order, and Su Feng quickly defended. Ginobili quickly moved the ball away, and he deceived Su Feng's center of gravity.
Follow the trend and take action quickly.
But the moment he took action, Su Feng quickly pursued him, and he almost blocked Ginobili.
Uh-huh!
Ginobili hit the shot, but he also got a shock.
He was shocked: Why did this kid's defense suddenly become stronger? He doesn't have this kind of defensive ability in the tape?
Indeed not.
Because it was just a step forward.
The super force-generating skills copied from Barkley brought Su Feng all-round effects. Although Su Feng could not control his subconscious impulse to take off, his experience made him less effective in exerting force.
Ginobili swayed away and made a sudden jump shot. He quickly gave chase.
His explosive power and long arms play a big role. If his jumping talent were better, he could have blocked the ball just now.
However, Su Feng was not upset at all, because his super power skill was +1 in the process.
He looked at Ginobili with a smile on his face, but Ginobili didn't understand. He couldn't help but ask: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm enjoying my confrontation with you."
Ginobili was stunned, this answer was unexpected.
Back at halfcourt, Gary Payton passed the basketball to Kobe. Kobe Bryant singled out Bruce Bowen. Kobe and Bowen are old rivals.
Bowen is a notorious defensive specialist in the league, and he will try his best every time he faces Kobe. Kobe also used him as his offensive trainer and gave his best every time.
This time he turned around after a post-up shot and threw the basketball...Bang!
It's a little bit off, it was a bit tight at the beginning.
The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.
Malone and Duncan were instantly huddled together under the basket, and the two European centers were like sandwich bread.
At this time, Su Feng quickly entered the penalty area. He jumped up, squeezed Nesterovich out of the way in the air, and tapped the basketball into his hand with his left hand.
Su Feng got the basketball and Ginobili quickly followed up.
Su Feng took a look and saw that there was no opportunity to pass the ball directly. He turned his back and squeezed back.
puff!
Su Feng's movements were a bit exaggerated.
At first glance, the technical level is relatively average.
Compared with Kobe's delicate and changeable back-up skills before, it was a complete mess.
"It does look a bit like you..." Kenny Smith teased Barkley in the commentary box.
But before he finished speaking, Su Feng suddenly turned around, and his body was swung like a drum washing machine. Ginobili, who was leaning on Su Feng's back with all his strength, was instantly thrown out, staggering and almost falling.
But Su Feng took advantage of the situation and made a throw... Whoops!
The basketball fell into the net.
The Lakers winked.
Nice answer-ball.
Staples Center was buzzing.
Barkley's eyes were straight, and his eyes were full of the shadow of himself when he was 23 years old.
The move just now is a technique he often uses. Increase the strength and throw it counterclockwise. As long as the opponent uses too much force, he will definitely be thrown away.
You can complete the attack by yourself.
Barkley raised his head and watched the replay again.
His shock could no longer be described in words. He couldn't help but mutter: Is this an accident? This must be an accident.
He couldn't believe it.
It felt like a martial arts master taught the young knight some sword skills, just for a few simple lessons. As a result, the young hero deduced the master's internal skills through these simple sword techniques.
This is so fucking terrifying.
What kind of learning ability is this?
Barkley felt like his mind was about to explode.
What he didn't know was that Su Feng's integration of his super power skills was still improving. The washing machine style dump just now made Su Feng's super power skills improve by +1.
Therefore, Su Feng still looked at Ginobili with a smile on his face.
Ginobili looked numb.
He was sure that Su Feng was not messing with his mentality.
He simply loves fighting.
This is even scarier.
How come a player who smiles on his face and plays with a calm mind and simply enjoys the feeling of fighting and confrontation feels a bit like Duncan and Kobe?
These two bastards are also so focused.
It's just that Kobe is a little paranoid and always has a livid face. Duncan, on the other hand, was in a state of confusion and could never see his expression.
In contrast, Su Feng, who was smiling all over his face, seemed like a "very nice person."
The game continues.
Ginobili was still running in and out, but the basketball was passed to Duncan. Duncan singled out Karl Malone, used his same starting style for seven years, posted up, turned sideways, and then threw the basketball and wiped the board. ...Shua!
Malone couldn't prevent it at all.
Duncan used this trick when he first entered the industry, and he still uses this trick now. He is like a man who only uses one posture in his life, but he can make the woman opposite him surrender every time.
No matter how high her rank is.
To be honest, Malone was quite frustrated. He is very jealous of Duncan, not only because Duncan declared the number one forward in history as soon as he entered the league and lost all suspense, but more importantly because this guy always wins and always wins the championship.
Ma Long also hopes that he has this temperament.
Unfortunately not.
After Duncan scored, Gary Payton launched a quick attack. He quickly rushed into the frontcourt and took advantage of the chaos to dive into the penalty area, but was covered by Duncan from behind. He forcibly threw the basketball out and threw it into the hands of Su Feng. Su Feng He caught the ball without stopping for a moment and just stuffed it into the penalty area again.
Karl Malone caught the basketball and completed a one-handed dunk.
This pass operation stunned the entire Staples Arena.
This is simply a space magician.
What was going on in Su Feng's head? Gary Payton finally passed the basketball out of the penalty area, but he changed his hand and passed it in again, like precise guidance, assisting Malone in completing a dunk.
"genius."
Popovich silently read his comments from the sidelines. A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door. He knew very well how much basketball intelligence Su Feng's decisive pass required.
This is his combination of timing judgment, precise route calculation, and passing accuracy.
He is indeed a rookie who learned passing skills from Bird.
His passing looks to be on par with that monster in Cleveland.
Popovich thought so.
The game continues, with both sides coming and going.
On the Lakers side, Kobe plays mainly in isolation, while on the Spurs side, Duncan leads the team.
Kobe's efficiency is pretty good, so the two teams played back and forth.
However, in the seventh minute of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant singled out Bowen and went deep alone. Bowen lured him to the baseline. He forced a jumper and was interfered by Duncan. Bang! Shoot the iron.
The rebound was picked up by Nesterovich and passed quickly to Tony Parker, who had a double-line fast break with Tony Parker and Ginobili.
On the Lakers side, only Su Feng forced the pursuit, but his speed talent was average and could not compare with Tony Parker and Ginobili.
Tony Parker went to the basket, and Su Feng was chasing after him. He passed the basketball to the baseline, and Ginobili caught the ball and shot... Whoa!
Hit 3 points.
The score difference suddenly widened to 5 points.
At this time, Phil Jackson stood up and asked Gary Payton to lower the rhythm.
No idea. When Gary Payton passed halftime, he was careless and was forced back by Tony Parker.
The ball belongs to the Spurs.
The Spurs serve again and the basketball is passed to Ginobili.
Ginobili advanced with the ball, used his weird European step to get into the penalty area, and was flanked by Su Feng and Malone at the same time, twisting his waist and driving the basketball into the basket.
The Spurs instantly led by 7 points.
Beep!
The Lakers requested a timeout.
At this time, Ginobili had scored 9 points, and Su Feng still only scored 2 points, although he also had 3 assists and 3 rebounds.
But before the game, he said on the TNT channel that he scored more points than Ginobili.
"Do you think you can still catch up with my score?"
Ginobili turned his head and asked Su Feng.
Su Feng said: "Okay."
The two walked to their respective benches.
"Kobe, let Tony play in isolation next, and you go to the weak side to support him." This was the first sentence Phil Jackson said when he summoned the players.
Kobe is an arrogant and sensitive person. He frowned and thought to himself, does he think I'm trying to make a fool of myself?
He can easily get into blind alleys.
At this time, Su Feng patted him on the shoulder.
"I play singles on the strong side to paralyze the Spurs' defensive attention. If you can attract their defensive attention, your singles will bring a greater threat to the Spurs."
Su Feng whispered to Kobe.
When Su Feng said this, Kobe understood. His basketball IQ is not low, and he has a good impression of Su Feng.
When Phil Jackson said the same thing and Su Feng said it, Kobe could hear two meanings in his ears.
"I will clear the space for you, but can you forcefully eat Ginobili?" Kobe asked.
"It's not a big problem." Su Fengfeng looked confident.
