NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 172 Stepping on Jordan, the Flood Beast 1 signature boots are released! !

Arrange for the Bulls and Lakers to have such a Christmas battle on Christmas.

It was David Stern who made the schedule long before the season started.

Although Lin Hong hadn't officially played in the NBA at that time, he had played all over the NCAA and had no opponents. Coupled with the huge Chinese market behind him, he became a hot new superstar in the hearts of fans after his debut.

Needless to say, Michael Jordan just helped the Bulls win three consecutive championships, established a dynasty and ascended to the altar, becoming the supreme god.

At that time, Stern was actually very hesitant. Will the Christmas game between the Bulls and the Lakers become a one-sided crush? !
After all, no matter how popular Lin Hong was before entering the NBA, he was just a rookie who hadn't passed the NBA test!

But what made Stern dumbfounded was that.

When the Christmas game came, the Los Angeles Lakers, who had the highest record in the league, started to be considered the bottom of the league at the beginning of the season!

Whom should I ask for reasoning? !

What was once thought to be a one-sided massacre has now turned into a fierce battle between dragons and tigers

The confrontation in this Christmas battle will definitely be fierce, and no one will easily admit defeat until the last second.

In order not to be interrupted by those insignificant penalties, David Stern deliberately told the three referees who coached today, repeatedly emphasizing:
As long as the action is not particularly large, and you are frantically testing on the verge of fouling, you basically don't need to blow it.

To ensure the smoothness and high confrontation of the game itself, this is the perfect Christmas game in Stern's mind:

The confrontation between the Bulls and the Lakers was fierce, and the two sides fought back and forth, launching a confrontation battle!

Faced with the beating of the league president, the three referees finally decided to follow the heart.

After all, the Bulls have Rodman the worm, and the Lakers have Superman Ben.

A bad whistle blowing, it is very likely to cause a big fight!
However, Stern has spoken, and they can only whistle this focus battle as best they can.

The referees also understand that what Stern wants is a full-fledged and exciting confrontation battle.

And their imaginary Christmas battle:
With reasonable collision actions, the two sides played a peak duel that made the fans excited and climaxed.

Chicago, United Center.

This arena, which can accommodate more than 2 fans, is already full today!
"No one wants to miss this exciting game, no one!"

"This is the most anticipated game of the season, bar none!"

"Michael will teach those two young men a hard lesson and we will be the ultimate winners!"

"Dennis will teach the giants hard, and he will never let the big man play wild in the restricted area in Chicago."

More than 2 Bulls fans roared wildly in front of the TV cameras.

When Kobe stepped into this arena, his first feeling was: the pressure is huge!

This arena is like a beast, opening its bloody mouth to eat him, goose bumps on Kobe's hands fell all over the ground.

He didn't know whether he was scared or excited.

But thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible for him to be afraid of such a scene.

Well, I can only be excited - finally the day to challenge Michael Jordan!

"Damn, I hate it here!"

"Count me in, I think so too!"

From the moment he stepped through the gates of the United Center, Campbell felt quite uncomfortable with the manic atmosphere here.

And when everyone walked all the way to the visiting team's locker room, Blunt also complained, and even Fisher echoed it.

"Why don't you say that the league can't come up with a rule that selects one of the cheapest opponent's fans every game, and let us come out and beat them up?

It's horrible, can you believe it?Someone sprayed Coke on me just now? "

Fisher babbled, bag in hand.

"Pouring Coke on you? Which bastard is so wasteful, damn it, isn't it cheaper to pour boiling water than Coke?"

Big Ben beat the injustice.

"Fake Squid, Big Ben, do you have a little conscience when riding a horse, my heart is so cool."

"Conscience? I have, but not much.

How about...I accompany you to get revenge on the Bulls and put some laxatives on Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman? "

"Stop it, it's almost there!"

Lin Hong shook his head and smiled as he walked, "Stop talking nonsense, we've practiced a lot this week, don't pull my hips when we're on the field, the Dynasty Bulls are facing us, so be serious."

Seriously?
Except for Kobe, everyone else was thoughtful but glanced at Lin Hong.

To be honest, everyone has never seen Lin Hong so serious.

Although I was very serious before, I really didn't work as hard as these days. Not only did I work hard by myself, but I also pulled the whole team to practice together.

"Derek, what's wrong with Lin?"

Big Ben took a step back and quickly followed Fisher.

"Nothing, he wants to win!"

"Hey, I know I want to win, but I haven't been this serious before, have I?"

"It was there before, but you didn't see it."

"Then tell me why."

"It's very simple, for the beautiful knife."

"Damn, you can't say two more words when you are riding a horse, do you have to wait for me to ask you?"

Big Ben felt uncomfortable, and hooked Fisher's neck, "Then let me ask you, could it be... someone bet with Lin again?"

"Come on, it's a big deal!" Fisher thought for a while, and Kobe's bet was indeed a big deal.

"Derek, don't forget what you promised me."

After Lin Hong glanced at Fisher, he patted Kobe on the shoulder with a smile: "Little brother, a $10 bet depends on whether you can score 25 or even 30 points on Jordan's head."

"Another 10 dollars?"

Kobe gritted his teeth: Well, Lin, believe me, I can't lose money today.

Whether it's for the 10-dollar bet or the God-slaying testimonial, Kobe will not lose today!
"That would be the best."

After finishing Kobe, Lin Hong looked back at Da Ben.

He thought that Big Ben would be afraid of this big scene.

Unexpectedly, not only did this guy feel no pressure at all, but he was very excited, wheezing and stretching before the game.

"Lin, today you dare to blow them up in the paint!"

As if he saw Lin Hong's eyes, Da Ben directly patted his chest and promised: "If that guy Dennis dares to make a fool of you, I'll be the first to go up and KO him!"

Seeing Da Ben gearing up,
Lin Hong finally understood.

Kobe came to Chicago to play and win money.

Big Ben came to Chicago to fight.

However, as long as you don't get stage fright.

Facing a dynasty like the Bulls, the most fearful thing is to get too nervous, get confused, and be timid.

The two sides let go of everything and fought with real knives and guns, that would be exciting!

Only by letting go of the burden and giving it a go, can the bull fall from the horse.

United Center, away team locker room.

Harris summoned the Lakers to start fighting.

Like all the head coaches in the league except the Bulls, Silver Fox Harris also set his sights on Jordan.

Suppressing Jordan is definitely not the ultimate goal.

Under the high-pressure defense of many people, how Jordan defends after scoring the ball is the key to solving the triangle offense.

This puts high demands on the players' speed and defensive awareness, so the Silver Foxes arranged a defensive starting lineup.

Campbell is too slow to be a starter.

Rodman's defensive ability is obvious to all. It doesn't make sense for Campbell to waste his physical fitness and state in vain. It is most suitable for a power forward to go to the big book to assist Lin Hong's defense.

The inside combination of Lin Hong and Daben set the tone of the lineup. The demand for point guards in the starting lineup is not very high, and Fisher is more than enough.

Considering that the Lakers are facing Jordan on the outside, Kobe took this task without hesitation.

Kersey is the small forward. For the first time against the Bulls, Harris wants more experienced players, but it is likely that the Lakers do not have them.

Silver Fox clapped his hands hard at the end of the meeting, glanced at all the players and said, "Okay, guys!
This is the annual Christmas game. I am glad that this year we are no longer spectators, but participating teams. So it is time for everyone to perform. "

"We beat the Gangs of New York, and the whole league thought we were lucky!"

"We beat the Jazz, but no one thought we were terrible."

"We beat the Rockets again, and some people said we bullied the elders."

"So what? We were considered last in the Western Conference before the season.

But now that we have reached No. [-] in the Western Conference, in order to make those people shut their mouths, we will overthrow the Bulls today. Do you have confidence? "

"Have!!"

After an impassioned speech, Harris led the team into the player tunnel.

"Michael, that little guy named Kobe Bryant, who will he give it to?"

On the other side, the Bulls warmed up for halftime.

Pippen laughed and teased Jordan: "I've seen the video of that kid's game. He's very fast. He's as fast as you are in the air."

"Do you want me to deal with a rookie?"

Jordan pouted, with a look of contempt: "Scotty, you can't handle that kid?"

"Of course not, I'm just talking casually."

Pippen shrugged awkwardly.

Of course he couldn't tell Jordan that his ankle was a little uncomfortable today.

Otherwise, I am afraid that Jordan will mistakenly think that he is afraid of the rookie on the opposite side, and laugh at him for the rest of his life!

"Dennis, you must remain absolutely calm today, and don't just think about making trouble for me."

The Zen master tirelessly urged Rodman on the sidelines: "Remember, win first, and put away all the messy things in your mind."

"I see, Coach, this isn't Detroit."

Da Chong spread his hands innocently, then grabbed Zen Master's neck and promised, "Coach, I am no longer the bad boy I was back then. I am the first in the competition. I know it. Don't worry!"

I believe you a ghost!
The Zen master shook his head and said nothing more.

But Zen Master felt that Rodman had something to say: he was no longer a member of the bad boy army.

It's just that the Zen master didn't know.

Some things, even after a long time, will not change.

Rodman, whose violent gene has been engraved in his bone marrow, how could it be possible for the audience to remain calm.

The pre-match warm-ups of the two sides ended quickly, and the starting players of the two teams stood on the court.

When Lin Hong walked near the technical stage, a staff member of the stadium suddenly ran up to him and presented him with a mysterious shoebox.

"Oh? What's that?"

"A shoebox? Does Lin want to change his shoes?"

"Changing shoes before the start of the game? What kind of show operation is this? Grandstanding?"

Bulls fans were all shocked by Lin Hong's operation.

Many fans stood up unconsciously, wanting to see what Lin Hong was doing on the sidelines.

In front of the Lakers bench, Lin Hong took the shoe box, opened it, and took out a pair of purple and gold low-top sneakers inside.

Yes, low-top sneakers!
Massachusetts, Converse headquarters.

When seeing this pair of GSI1 generation sneakers unveiled at the Chicago United Center, Converse executives who have been following the game all the time couldn't help cheering!
They have been waiting for the moment when the GSI1 generation boots will be unveiled, but the result has been delayed, which makes them very puzzled.

Obviously, the sneakers have been sent to Chicago and sent to the staff of the Lakers. Why did Lin Hong still wear the AJ12 of the deadly hook when he was warming up?

Now, Lin Hong uses his actions to tell Converse executives what it means to be truly eye-catching.

Just before the start of the world-famous Christmas battle, Lin Hong changed his shoes live!

The GSI1 generation of purple and gold color boots appeared in front of the fans just like that!

"Am I not mistaken? Are those a pair of purple and gold color basketball shoes? Or are they low-top?"

"Can basketball shoes also be low-cut? Don't you need ankle protection?"

"I've never seen basketball shoes with such a cool color scheme. The key is the low-top ones, which can be worn on the street as casual shoes!"

"I want to buy it, but who knows where to buy these sneakers?"

The big screens at the scene gave a close-up of the pair of GSI1s that Lin Hong put on.

Even Bulls fans are deeply attracted by this pair of cool low-top basketball shoes that have never been seen before.

"A pair of sneakers can play well? What a brat."

"I'll leave this big guy to you, Dennis!"

"Don't worry, Scotty, with me here, the champion of the Lakers don't want to leave the United Center standing up today!"

During the exchange between Pippen and Rodman, Jordan's eyes fell on the pair of sneakers on Lin Hong's feet.

The low-top basketball shoes with purple and gold color scheme seem to be really handsome.

David Stern also turned his attention to this pair of brightly colored sneakers.

In the NBA in the 90s, the league was only allowed to wear black and white sneakers.

Purple and gold color scheme?This is against the rules!

However, Lin Hong has already put it on, so he will be banned + fined after the game is over!
Seeing the logo on the sneakers, Stern was thoughtful, and it turned out to be Converse!
When Jordan was punished, he was wearing a hook.

Shot back to the United Center.

Lin Hong, who had become the focus of everyone before the game started, changed his shoes and moved around twice.

To be honest, Converse decisively gave up the oil bag, made a drastic move, and switched to the configuration of air cushion + carbon fiber board, which was indeed beyond Lin Hong's expectation!
"Come on, brothers!"

"Come on, we must win!"

The two sides warmed up, and the starting five tigers came on stage together.

Lakers starting: Fisher + Kobe + Kersey + Big Ben + Lin Hong.

Bulls starter: Ron Harper + Michael Jordan + Scottie Pippen + Dennis Rodman + Luke Longley.
