NBA: Miller moment at the start

Barkley sighed in the commentary booth, but still very tough:

"Because of Wang Ba's outstanding performance, I lost the bet to the fat guy. I am very unhappy. I will find an opportunity to teach Wang Ba a lesson!" "But I must say that watching Wang Ba play live is really a pleasure!"

"44 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, 1 block, whether on the offensive or defensive end, he performed well enough!"

Barkley became more and more excited.

He was no longer depressed about losing the bet. He only admired and loved Wang Ba.

44 points can be achieved by many people.

14 assists are not difficult.

6 steals can be achieved by some people.

To complete them at the same time, and he is still a rookie, playing in 3 quarters, that's a bit scary!

O'Neal's eyes sparkled:

"Actually, I thought of another thing. Is it possible for Wang Ba to get a quadruple-double?"

Barkley was slightly stunned, then shook his head:

"Not likely. If we fight for rebounds and teammates give way, it's still possible. It's too difficult to be 4 steals short!"

The big screen at the scene announced Wang Ba's statistics, and the DJ began to cry:

"Give applause to Wang Ba!"

"Look forward to him getting a quadruple-double!"

All the fans stood up, and applause and cheers resounded throughout the Staples Center.

The cameraman at the scene knew how to do things, and pushed the camera to the stars in the VIP seats. They all cooperated and made Wang Ba's favorite OK gesture towards the camera.

The host came to the sidelines with a microphone for an interview. They sent their blessings to Wang Ba, and the last person to be interviewed was Kobe.

"Kobe, how are you feeling now?"

"It's complicated. I feel happy and a little jealous."

"Jealous?"

"The audience used to applaud me, but now they have fallen in love with someone else."

The fans at the scene burst into laughter.

"Mamba, you have changed."

"I smell a strong smell of jealousy."

"Why am I a little happy?"

The host saw the lively atmosphere and continued to ask:

"Then why are you happy?"

"I am happy to see that the Lakers have a king and someone is taking over the glory of the team."

The fans at the scene were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears. The whole audience shouted:

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"The eternal king of Staples Center!"

"The eternal king of Staples Center!"

The host waited until the audience calmed down and continued to ask:

"I'm curious, who will win in a one-on-one duel between you and Wang Ba."

"In a one-on-one duel, I can beat anyone, except Jordan, and maybe one more in the future."

Kobe was still confident, but his words were also quite meaningful. The host asked:

"Do you mean that Wang Ba might beat you?"

"He's amazing, I'm looking forward to it."

Wang Ba, who got Kobe's affirmation, was slumped in a chair, covering his face with a towel, gasping for breath, and didn't move at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers' rotation was still completely destroyed. In just two minutes, the Lakers fell behind by 10 points. Walton Jr. came to Wang Ba:

"Wang, are you okay?"

"No problem."

Take off the towel and stand up slowly.

Although he was exhausted, he was not completely unable to play.

The Lakers replaced the main players in advance and prepared to make the final struggle.

The Warriors are experienced and can't be too anxious to turn the tables. In addition, Wang Ba's physical fitness is not good. He controls the rhythm and doesn't want to play too fast.

Cole obviously found that Wang Ba's steps were heavy. Combined with Wang Ba's drop in hit rate at the end of the third quarter, he decisively reminded the players to speed up.

"Press!"

"Press!"

The Lakers pressed the ball all over the court before it crossed the half court, forcing the Lakers to speed up. The Warriors had a firm grasp on the rhythm.

Not only did they speed up, but the defensive intensity was upgraded again. Every time the Lakers scored a goal, they had to lose a layer of skin.

The inside line became a meat grinder, and the outside line was not much better.

Wang Ba wanted to connect his teammates, so the Warriors made targeted deployments.

The outside line focused on defending Pope and Caruso, leaving Ingram open. If he wanted to shoot from mid-range, someone would interfere immediately.

Ingram had a good touch in the first two games, but he was a little overwhelmed in this game. Soon the Lakers fell behind by 14 points, and everyone felt that there was no hope of winning the game.

O'Neal, who always favors Wang Ba, is very annoyed:

"The Warriors are very strong."

"Using the depth of the bench and the rotation time to establish an advantage, coupled with fast rotation and targeted defense, it is difficult for the Lakers to break through."

"A lot of opportunities were wasted by missing open shots. If there was no Wang Ba, the game would have been lost long ago!"

O'Neal's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

The Lakers had every chance to establish a leading advantage, but the main players were in an ups and downs, and they failed at critical moments. The rotation players were even more difficult to describe.

Barkley said something good:

"The Lakers' defense is very good.I tried very hard, but I was helpless if I didn't feel good. "

O'Neal snorted coldly:

"The Lakers' stable outside line is Wang Ba, Pope lacks continuity, Caruso is almost hot, without the outside line there is not enough space, the Lakers don't have a strong heart, and there are no players who can attack the inside line, it is difficult to tear open the defense, the inside line is not good, the outside line is weak, nothing works..."

In fact, O'Neal's requirements for the Lakers are a bit too high.

The Lakers were only 12th in the West last season, at the bottom. With James, it was a little better, and with Wang Ba, they impacted the front of the West and were highly expected.

In fact, looking at the current configuration of the Lakers, it is already the limit to reach the current ranking. It is indeed a little short of going head-to-head with the Warriors.

There are 5 minutes left in the game, the Lakers are 14 points behind, facing the Warriors The warriors were basically powerless to turn the tide.

Only Wang Ba still wanted to try hard.

The Lakers attacked.

He held the ball and faced Green's defense, and suddenly pulled up.

He hadn't taken a shot for several rounds. The double team on the wing was a little relaxed, and Green himself was also a little relaxed.

Unexpectedly, attacking by surprise,

Wang Ba threw the ball, and Green jumped up to block it.

He knew that he couldn't block it, but he still swung his body out in a large range, and he couldn't control it, and hit Wang Ba.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle!

Bang!

Wang Ba was knocked to the ground.

【Ding】

【Trigger the dog-beating stick technique! 】

Swish!

The basketball hit steadily.

The 3 points were valid, and there was a penalty, and the dog-beating stick was triggered. It was a huge profit!

"Beautiful!"

"Wang Ba played really smart!"

"Green lost both his wife and his soldiers! "

The fans cheered enthusiastically. Wang Ba is reliable and he scored as soon as he shot!

Free throw hit,

Warriors wanted to play fast, so they quickly sent the ball to the baseline and pushed forward to the frontcourt. Durant made a mid-range shot. The whole process took less than 8 seconds.

[Dog-beating stick technique remaining time: 22 seconds]

Time was critical. Wang Ba did not slow down the rhythm and quickly pushed forward to the frontcourt. The Warriors' help defense did not move, so he just stared at Green and shot in the face.

Green was prepared and jumped up to block the shot immediately, but found that Wang Ba did not jump up.

Fake move!!

Wang Ba had a chance to move sideways or wait for Green to drop and shoot after shaking Green away,

He did not,

It would be unreasonable to avoid a 3-pointer who made every shot.

He jumped up and moved towards Green. The moment the two came into contact, he shot the ball out.
