Chapter 129
It's the night of the Knicks vs. Lakers game.
The Lakers are still at home, and the Knicks players have come to the Lakers home court to warm up.
"Today is another day for Bald Donkey and I to explain!"
O'Neal once again came to the game live broadcast with a humorous tone.
"There is no need to say much about the Lakers, let's talk about the Knicks.
The Knicks traded Calderon + Lopez Jr. + Jerian Grant for Rose, Justin Holiday and a second-round pick from the Bulls.
Speaking of the trade for Rose, Rose's fans are very upset, and so is Rose himself."
O'Neal choked up for Rose when he talked about this. He knew the feeling of being abandoned by the team and knew how Rose felt at the time.
Barkley also shook his head and said,"Rose is a genius, but unfortunately he was devastated by injuries, which had an impact on his entire career.
The Bulls may have given up on him out of necessity, but they also hope that Rose will not be discouraged.
Because he is still a little quiet in the Knicks now, and doesn't want to communicate too much with others. He is the type of person who talks less and does more, but he must want to prove himself, and he is slowly integrating into the Knicks collective."
"As the saying goes... There is only one trade and countless trades. You and I have been tossing and turning in the league. Rose may repeat the same mistakes and follow our old path...
Let's not talk about these, and don't blame me for talking nonsense. Let's see how Rose performs in the Knicks' game tonight."
O'Neal licked his fingers and flipped through the Knicks' data sheet from the last game.
"In Rose's first game back from injury, he scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which was pretty good, after all, his playing time was limited.
Hope he keeps it up! But facing Su Hao in this game...I'm already a little worried"
……
Su Hao and others were warming up on the court.
Looking at the tall figure of Porzingis opposite, I was still a little worried.
"This Rookie of the Year can also shoot suddenly and look very difficult to deal with..."
Kobe pouted.
"Think about it, what kind of existence is this big guy who fights under the basket, eats the ball, and shoots three-pointers from the outside.
No matter what, we have to take him out for a walk to see if he is as scary as the outside world says."
Su Hao has already shown his attitude, because this is a duel between the best rookies in the East and West.
Although Su Hao has proven himself
"This Porzingis scored 30 points yesterday. He is the best rookie in the Eastern Conference. He is really worried about stealing Su Hao's limelight."
"Don't worry, Su Hao has already proven himself. He is the ceiling for rookies. The opponent is just a rookie. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Yes, they are also rookies, who will give way to whom? What's more, we just saw Su Hao's serious look in the last scene."
The fans on the sidelines are looking forward to the showdown between the two best rookies.
"The game is about to begin! Please be prepared for both sides to start!"
The announcement on the court sounded, and the starters from both sides stayed on the court.
"Let’s introduce the starting players first!
Lakers: Point guard Su Hao, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, shooting guard Clarkson, power forward Randle, center Jokic.
Knicks: Point guard Derrick Rose is 1.91 meters, shooting guard Afflalo is 1.96 meters, small forward Carmelo Anthony is 2.03 meters, power forward Porzingis is 2.11 meters, and center O'Quinn is 2.08 meters."
Jokic and O'Quinn's jump ball!
"Jump ball!"
The referee stood in the center circle and threw the ball vigorously, and the game officially began.
Jokic took the lead in grabbing the ball and passed it to Su Hao in the backcourt.
At the beginning of the game, Su Hao used Randle's screen to switch to Porzingis' side.
"The first game was a matchup between two best rookies!
I don't know Porzingis yet, and I hope he can inherit our hard-line style!"
O'Neal is looking forward to Porzingis. He hopes to return to the era when centers once dominated.
But the truth doesn't seem to be that simple.
"Is this right? Let me feel the power of this wave god."
Su Hao found the rhythm with continuous crotch movements.
Small and large plays are what point guards are best at, and the same is true for Su Hao.
With lightning speed, he passed Porzingis on the right wing and went inside for a one-handed dunk. Erzingis was suddenly left behind, and the fans cheered instantly as Military Training was in the defensive position just now.
"Just standing there motionless? This is too... Never mind. Su Hao treats guards like this, so this power forward and center must be the same."
"So fast?"
Porzingis exclaimed.
Even though he had competed with Su Hao in the summer league, he was still surprised to be passed over like a wooden stake again.
But Su Hao had to hear this kind of words almost every game and had long been accustomed to it.
Rose slowly brought the ball to the front court and passed it to Anthony who was in a low post.
He backed Clarkson and quickly turned around to hit the rebound and returned the favor.
Then Su Hao attacked again, and after a series of switching defenses, he met Porzingis again.
This time, Porzingis learned his lesson and was a few steps away from Su Hao, and he was not afraid of Su Hao's mid-range shot.
"Is it a case of letting go of investment rather than letting go of surprise? I just want to show you what breakthrough is and what counts as strength."
Su Hao didn't tolerate him and rushed towards the right side.
Porzingis had enough distance to react this time.
Su Hao entered the penalty area on the right side and aimed at Porzingis beside him. A violent collision of muscles.
"boom……"
Porzingis was directly shocked by Su Hao. It felt like he hit a wall and all the force bounced back to him.
Then he continued to defend and tried to block the shot.
Su Hao kicked the ground and shot, confronting Porzingis again in the air.
Su Hao was still motionless.
He scored another layup in the air
"Su Hao directly challenged Porzingis! This is so brave!"
"With Su Hao's body, maybe he can try the five position, his strength is more than enough!"
The two commentators praised Su Hao's confrontation.
After all, O'Neal and Barkley both played this way, and they admired Su Hao's style very much.
"I thought you would get stronger in the offseason...
I didn't expect it to be no different from the Summer League, still as soft, still as easy to crush.……"
Su Hao scored twice in a row against Porzingis, easily.
In the next attack, Su Hao once again used a mid-range shot to beat Porzingis. He was completely defeated in three consecutive matchups at the beginning, which immediately made Porzingis feel frustrated.
Porzingis was so vulnerable that the fans felt much more relieved.
Their worries before the game instantly turned into joy, and they imagined everything as their own worries.
Now Su Hao is the player who does not need to worry about anything.
"Not to mention defense, I am now looking forward to seeing what Porzingis' offensive ability will be like."
