Chapter 399 Blood Spilled in Brooklyn
Barclays Center Arena, the most expensive home stadium among the 30 NBA teams, is also the first stadium in the world to cost more than $10 billion.So in terms of luxury performance, the new arena that has just been put into use this season is the most luxurious in the entire NBA.

Seemingly inspired by the new stadium, the Nets have played well this season, currently 28 wins and 19 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

It seems that spending 2000 million more dollars than last season is not useless.

Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov expressed his pleasure and hoped that the team will make persistent efforts and strive to enter the Eastern Conference Finals this year.But Tang Qian knew that his hopes were destined to be extravagant. Although the Nets had a good record in the regular season, their true form was revealed in the playoffs, and they were directly defeated by the Bulls.

However, for the current Lakers, the Nets are still strong. After all, the record is there and cannot be offset.

This game was selected by TNT TV station as one of the national live broadcasts.

The tagline is also simple: Expensive Battle.

Why is it called an expensive battle?Because the Lakers and Nets this season are the two teams with the highest total salary in the league.The Lakers are number one, with a staggering $1 million in total team wages.The Nets ranked second, with a total team salary of 44 million US dollars.You said it is impossible for the Nets to rank second?But it's true.Miami's side is actually only 8428 million US dollars.Therefore, there is no problem with TNT's duel slogan.

Compared with the almost laughing stock of the Lakers, the situation of the Nets is undoubtedly much better. Compared with a total of 22 wins last season, they have already won 28 wins this season, which is exactly the same as the third win-loss margin in the Eastern Conference.So at the beginning of the game, the arrogant Russian tycoon spoke publicly: The Los Angeles Lakers are vulnerable!They don't deserve to be compared with the new Nets this season!

The New Nets is what the Russian tycoon calls himself, because he always feels that in another place, the team in his hand should "prosper".Soaring into the sky, just around the corner.

As long as the Lakers are defeated tonight, all the fans present will give away a lemon juice and a hot dog.

It seems that these things are not very valuable, but it can't stand the large base. There are about 2 fans in the audience, and the total cost is at least 30 million US dollars.Roughly estimated, there must be more than 130 million RMB.Splurging more than 130 million RMB in one night, this is not a real big local tyrant, how can ordinary rich people afford it?
Therefore, the atmosphere of the audience became very lively from the beginning.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, someone started flattering, followed the boss and said:
The Lakers are not worth mentioning this season!Don't compare us to the people of Los Angeles!
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Lakers team was annoyed. The Russian tycoon just talked about it. After all, he is a big boss, and he is recognized by "Forbes" as one of the richest people in Russia, with a net worth of more than 170 billion U.S. dollars. The top three.And the most important thing is that this person is handsome. Compared with other rich people, he is only in his 40s, and the most important thing is that he has never been married, so he can be called the real "Diamond King and Fifth".It doesn't make sense to fight against this kind of person, after all, the level is too far away, but what are you, Brook Lopez?Dare to say that?

Although the Lakers' record this season is a mess, the players inside have a higher status than each other. Not to mention Kobe, Nash, and Howard, even Pau Gasol is bigger than him.So being "ridiculed" by this kind of person, the Lakers waited for everyone, and got angry before the game.However, Lopez's "flattery" was considered a success, because after hearing his remarks, Mikhail Prokhorov praised loudly: I already knew he was a great guy!It's the type I admire!
After being praised by Mikhail Prokhorov, Brook Lopez became even more emotional, looking like a "dog leg", and continued to speak wildly: I want to score 30+15 tonight, because Mikhail Mr. Hail Prokhorov's on-site observation of the battle has given me endless strength!

And after hearing this pre-match remark, Tang Qian's complexion sank in an instant, because this was simply contempt for himself!Seeing that Howard of the Lakers is not here tonight, are you so arrogant?Still want to win 30+15 data?It's simply contemptuous!You have played your career so far, 5 years, how many times have you won 30+15?

This dog looks down on people!

Seeing Kobe and the others being interviewed before the game, Tang Qian also walked over, opened his mouth and said:
"Please tell the sycophant of the Nets that I'm here tonight, let alone 30+15, even a [-]% discount, don't even think about it!"

Immediately, Tang Qian's words were also spread by the media, fueling the "expensive battle" tonight.

TNT live room, today's game is co-hosted by Shaq O'Neal and...Charles Barkley.

It seems that the upper management of TNT has also realized that the hosting effect of Charles Barkley + Kenny Smith is far inferior to that of Charles Barkley + Shaq O'Neal.The scene where the two are not used to each other and confront each other is a major selling point for attracting viewers of the live broadcast.Therefore, as soon as the boss of TNT TV station made a decision, they dismantled the old pair of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and switched to the new pair of Charles Barkley + Shaq O'Neal.

After all, in the United States, it is a capitalist society, so capital is first discussed in everything, money is first discussed, and then other things are discussed.

And tonight is also the first "single joint broadcast" of the two.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone. I'm Charles. Tonight, Shaq and I will bring you the host of this game." Money has to do things, so soon Barkley turned to O'Neill and said, "Who do you think will win tonight's game?"

"Of course it's the Brooklyn Nets." O'Neal opened his mouth and said directly: "The Nets are currently No. 12 in the Eastern Conference, and the Lakers are currently No. [-] in the Western Conference. The difference in record between the two is already very clear." See Charles Barkley immediately felt "unhappy" with O'Neal's affirmative appearance, so he blurted out and retorted: "Records sometimes don't represent everything, otherwise, what's more exciting in a basketball game? Isn't it enough to just look at the rankings?" ? I think the Lakers are in good shape recently, and it is very likely that they will continue their winning streak and kill the Brooklynites in one fell swoop."

"Get rid of the Nets? Ah~Charles, I have to say that your commentary style is too subjective!" O'Neal shook his head and said, "The Nets have done a good job defensively this season, allowing only 95.1 points per game. Points, you know that Miami is only this defensive number, what about the Lakers? The average allows the opponent to score 101+ points per game, oh~my~ You can see clearly Charles, it is 101+ points lost! Tell me How many teams in the league have a worse defense than the Lakers?"

"So if they want to win, it will be very difficult!"

After finishing speaking, O'Neal continued: "And they have the league's top center Brook Lopez on the inside, Deron Williams and the newly joined Joe Johnson on the outside. This lineup is enough to blow up the weak defensive line of the Lakers. "What? The number one center in the league? Who are you talking about? Brook Lopez?" Charles Barkley was taken aback when he heard this, and forgot to argue with O'Neal.

"That's right, it's Brook Lopez." O'Neal nodded in affirmation.

"I remember that Dwight Howard is the number one center in the league, right? You're exaggerating!" Charles Barkley said. "It's not an exaggeration at all." O'Neal insisted: "In my eyes, Howard is not a real center in the traditional sense at all. He is just a variant of a power forward. Pick-and-roll + dunk + second offense, this is simply our The standard practice of blue-collar power forwards in that era. A true center should be strong in the low post like Lopez and master all kinds of low-post skills. You have also seen Howard's low-post singles efficiency and statistics this season. The bottom of the league, so Do you dare to be called the number one center in the league? Is the number one center in the league ranked 121st in the league in post-up points per round?"

"Bynum is reimbursed for the season this season. What's wrong with me saying that Lopez is the number one center?"

"Then you think he can get 30+15 data tonight?"

"What's impossible?" O'Neal said, "His opponent is just a backup center, isn't he?"

The Barclays Center arena was brightly lit, and the audience had already entered the arena to cheer for their home team players.

Just as the Lakers were warming up and Tang Qian stepped onto the center circle to prepare for the ball, a mocking voice came into the former's ear and said:
"It's such a pity. Dwight Howard wasn't there. I wanted to teach him a lesson! Alas! What a pity!" Brooke Lopez said, looking at No. 29, and continued: " Dongfang guy, you’re out of luck, I’m going to let go and ravage you tonight! I won’t be soft-hearted just because you’re just a temporary main force, this is my way of doing things, understand?”

Brook Lopez slammed Tang Qian as soon as he came up. Naturally, he heard what the latter said before the game, so he was very upset to see this Asian center.But he didn't think about it either. If he hadn't been the first to provoke, how could Tang Qian fight back?Some people are like this, they have selective amnesia, they only remember the bad things of others, but they never remember their own problems.

But since the two had already fought each other before the match, Tang Qian didn't have anything to be polite about, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can come and try, I like educating sycophants the most."

Heard the word again!Still "fresh out of the oven"!Brook Lopez immediately said angrily: "Yellow man, I advise you to have a better attitude, so that I may make your death look better later! Otherwise, I will let you leave the Barclays Center crying!"

And just when Tang Qian was about to speak, the sound of "dang" rang through his mind.

Needless to say, Tang Qian also knew what was going on, so he closed his eyes and immediately entered a different space.

This is a mission card.

As soon as Tang Qian touched it with his hand, the mission information was immediately passed into his mind.

In this chapter of the game, Brook Lopez scored 30 points and 15 rebounds. A random silver card will be rewarded for success, and all silver cards, including silver fragments, will be deducted for failure.After reading the mission information, Tang Qian's expression changed slightly.

According to the urine nature of the "Different Space", he knows that he will not give you good things easily. Since the reward conditions of the Silver Ability Card are directly issued, there must be something wrong with it.

But that's nothing.

As the starting center of the Lakers, I will always accept any challenge.

After reading the task information of this task card, Tang Qian said firmly in his heart.

PS: A little less tonight, because Xiaozi has a low-grade fever, so her mind is groggy, and she will have more injections tomorrow.Alas, thank you for your understanding.

O'Neal did say that Lopez is the No. [-] center in the active league. This is not made up by Xiaozi himself.

And Xiaozi re-read the 1992 draft selection yesterday. It turns out that O’Neal weighed 303 pounds when he entered the league, and 275 pounds was the weight of a freshman or sophomore in college.
