NBA: Become stronger by dunking

【118】The battle for the No. 1 player in the league?!

After ending their five-game road trip to the Eastern Conference, the Warriors returned to San Francisco on a special plane and got two days of precious rest.

Two days later, they will face the challenge of the defending champion Lakers at their home stadium, the Oakland Arena.

The game against the Lakers can be said to be the biggest challenge for Su Mo and the Warriors since the new season.

This game between the Warriors and the Lakers is not only crucial for both teams, but also for the entire NBA league.

Although there are still two days before the game, ESPN has already begun to warm up and promote this game, and has labeled it:"The battle for the No. 1 player in the league?!"

In a sports special program discussing the Lakers vs. Warriors, Charles Barkley, Mark Jackson, Van Gundy, and Bill Worrell gathered together to look forward to the much-anticipated"focus battle" between the Lakers and the Warriors."

"This year's regular season is indeed a season of miracles. It is hard to imagine that the regular season has already started for a month, but one day ago, there were still three teams in the league that maintained an undefeated record!"

"There is no doubt that from the current situation, the Lakers and Warriors in the West, plus the Cavaliers in the East, are the three strongest teams in the league. Before the end of yesterday's game, it was hard to imagine that the Warriors, who had been exhausted after their fifth consecutive away game, would eventually defeat the Cavaliers led by LeBlanc!"

"In my personal opinion, Su Mo showed one of the strongest individual performances in the regular season since the 21st century in the game against the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have many performances of 60+ in a single game, but Su Mo's greatness lies in the fact that he stood up at countless critical moments!"

"That's right, Su Mo's block on defense and a three-pointer from LeBron in the face on offense in the final moments of the game fully demonstrated the terrifying ability of a superstar. And not every superstar can perform so well in the critical moment!"

"It is precisely because Su Mo played a historic performance, and Kobe also scored 60+ and led the team to victory on the same night, so it is said that the next Warriors VS Lakers game will be so exciting!"

For the current strength comparison between Su Mo and Kobe, as well as the final outcome of the game, the four guests also gave their own opinions.

Charles Barkley:"Obviously, the Lakers are far superior to the Warriors in terms of overall strength, and the foundation of the defending champion is very huge, so I think the Lakers will win in the end, but in terms of personal data, Su Mo will be more gorgeous than Kobe to a large extent!"

Barkley's words just fell, Van Gundy teased:"Charles, in the last game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, you seemed to say the same thing, right?"

Being exposed by Van Gundy in public, the shameless Barkley still smiled and said cunningly:"The last game itself had unexpected factors, and although I didn't guess the outcome of the game, I guessed the other half, didn't I?"

Mark Jackson touched his chin and said,"The overall strength of the Lakers is indeed above that of the Warriors, and it is not on the same level. As long as Kobe can consume Su Mo and defeat each other in the game, the Lakers will definitely win the game in the end!"

Bill Worrell also expressed a similar view:"Kobe led the Lakers to win the Warriors led by Su Mo. This seems to be a routine result, but it does not rule out the possibility that Su Mo will create a miracle again in the game, and this possibility is not insignificant. I think it accounts for about one in ten!"

Van Gundy finally smiled and said,"I'm very glad that I can be there to comment on this game. I'm looking forward to it now. Su Mo and Kobe will explode against each other. To be honest, Kobe's offensive ability is more comprehensive than the little emperor today!"

Although Van Gundy did not directly say who would win the match between the two teams, he pointed out that Kobe's offensive means are more comprehensive than LeBron's.

Obviously, Van Gundy also believes that the Lakers will face a bigger challenge.

CCTV Sports, also broadcast a special program discussing the Warriors VS Lakers the day before the game. The host is Wang Meng, and the commentators are Coach Zhang, Yang Yi and Su Qun.

As Chinese, everyone is naturally more inclined to believe that Su Mo and the Warriors can win and make history.

But objectively speaking, the current Lakers are slightly stronger than the Cavaliers in terms of leadership and overall strength.

It was already difficult for the Warriors to beat the Cavaliers, and now it is difficult to defeat the defending champions.

Yang Yi raised his glasses, holding a pen in his hand, and began to analyze:

"On one side are the Warriors with 15 consecutive wins, and on the other side are the Lakers with 16 consecutive wins. This game will be a head-to-head battle and will definitely be very exciting. If the Warriors want to win, in addition to Su Mo showing his best condition, other teammates, such as Ellis, Jackson, Curry and others, must also have stable output!"

Su Qun continued:"I am looking forward to the matchup between Su Mo and Kobe. Compared with LeBron, Kobe has more offensive means and is more difficult to defend. This will be a huge test for Su Mo!"

Finally, Coach Zhang concluded:"The 15 consecutive wins that Su Mo has led the Warriors to can be said to have created a great miracle, but whether this miracle can be perfect depends on tomorrow's game against the Lakers!"

"Only by defeating Kobe's team and defending the championship, defeating the No. 1 player in the league and the strongest team, can Su Mo truly hold his head high in the NBA, pat his own mouth and shout: I want to be the No. 1 player in the league!"

Coach Zhang���The latter words were so passionate that Wang Meng, Yang Yi and others applauded and echoed.

The night before the game, Kobe, his teammates and coaching staff took a special plane to San Francisco.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Kobe's eyes were firm. He couldn't wait to play.

He is now the undisputed number one in the league.

Winning the regular season MVP of this season and defending the championship is Kobe's ultimate goal.

Even LeBron, the son of God, can't stop him. Can a rookie from the Celestial Empire stop him?

Absolutely impossible!

Kobe will not allow this to happen.

With the anticipation of hundreds of millions of fans, the game between the Warriors and the Lakers is finally about to kick off. At

8 pm local time in San Francisco, the Oakland Arena was packed with people, the seats were full, the noise was overwhelming, and it was very lively.

Su Mo had just finished warming up before the game when a familiar voice came to his mind.
