NBA: Miller moment at the start

No one expected that the internal competition would turn into a fight, and it was Kuzima who was KOed.

Fortunately, it was a hard injury, not serious, and Wang Ba was also in self-defense, not a fight.

The team doctor examined Kuzima, and the competition continued.

Little Walton warned everyone that whoever messed up again would spend the rest of the time on the bench and not think about playing in the game!

He was talking about Wang Ba!

He really didn't expect that Wang Ba was a complete thorn in the side, just thinking about it made him feel... so exciting.

The next competition went smoothly. Little Walton had a comprehensive understanding of Wang Ba's abilities through normal competitions. It can be said that his strengths and weaknesses were very obvious.

The advantages are that he is good at reading the game, can dismantle the defense, has sharp judgment, observes carefully, and is good at open 3-pointers.

The disadvantages are that he has average static talent, insufficient body management, poor confrontation strength, and a low hit rate for 3-pointers against defense.

He also found that Wang Ba could pass the ball and knew how to pass the ball, which was an unexpected surprise.

"Lose weight, gain muscle, and increase strength!"

Tomorrow we will play against the Nuggets. Starting the day after tomorrow, Walton will conduct devilish training on Wang Ba.

Wang Ba knew nothing about his thoughts.

The next morning, he came to the training hall early to train. The security uncle Sadik was very surprised.

"There is a game today, and you still need to train?"

"Of course."

Wang Ba still came here today, mainly because his reputation value increases every day, and he needs to use it in time.

As his number of fans increases, his reputation value also increases. He is fully capable of buying attributes directly, but training is more cost-effective.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening,

The Staples Center was packed.

Fans held banners and posters, and the whole stadium was full of yellow figures.

Los Angeles is the home of Hollywood, and the Staples Center is never short of stars, even in an ordinary regular season.

Hip-hop singer Ice Cube, and James's fan Harena.

When the camera was aimed at them, enthusiastic cheers rang out at the scene, which was more exciting than seeing James.

Someone flipped over the railings in the audience to ask for an autograph, and was tied up by the security guards and carried out like a pig.

I didn't even get an autograph, so how could you succeed?

What a joke!

In the pre-match interview,

A domestic media asked Murray:

"Wang Ba, a Chinese player signed by the Lakers, made 3 3-pointers in 18.7 seconds in the game and defeated his opponent. If you were on the court at the same time, would you choose to play against him?"

Murray replied:

"I have seen Wang Ba's moment, it is amazing."

His attitude is very clear.

He knows Wang Ba, but he only knows that

There will be a role player in the NBA who explodes every day and then becomes a nobody again.

He is Murray. He will not pay attention to Wang Ba just because he scored 9 points in 18.7 seconds. He will not regard Wang Ba as an opponent. He is not that cheap.

In the pre-match interview of the Lakers,

James and Walton strongly requested Wang Ba to attend, but it is obvious that after the heat passed, the reporters were more concerned about Lao Zhan than Wang Ba.

Until the end, James forced the end and gave the time to Wang Ba. The media was not as polite to Wang Ba as Lao Zhan.

"What was the reason for your conflict with Morey?"

"How many points do you plan to score tonight?"

"According to our understanding, your 3-point shot is not very good, so why can you create a miracle in 18.7 seconds?"

Wang Ba pressed his hands down:

"Raise your hand if you want to ask a question, please pay attention to your manners."

"..."

A player with a short contract of 10 days was so calm in front of reporters, there is something!

Order was restored at the scene, and the first question was from the Australian media:

"According to our understanding, your 3-point shot is not very good, so why can you create a miracle in 18.7 seconds."

Wang Ba replied:

"I think you should sit in a wheelchair instead of standing here."

Reporter: ? ? ?

Everyone: ? ? ?

"I don't understand what you mean!"

Wang Ba shrugged:

"The meaning is very clear. As far as I know, you can't walk since you were a child, so why can you stand here?"

The media friends at the scene gave a thumbs up, and the Australian reporter's eyes were full of resentment. He wanted to say something, but Wang Ba asked someone else to ask questions directly.

"How many points are you going to score tonight?"

"It depends on the Nuggets' defense."

"You andWhat is the reason for Murray's conflict? "

"Time will tell."

"As far as I know, the Lakers are willing to give a fully guaranteed minimum salary contract. You took the initiative to propose a 10-day short contract. Do you know the reason?"

"I think my value is far more than the minimum salary."

Wang Ba is very arrogant, but he doesn't have to show off. He thinks that if he shows off, the system may reward him with something.

He will never admit that he loves to show off.

...

At the Staples Center, there are 2 minutes before the start of the game. The players finished warming up and returned to the bench to make final preparations.

In Tencent's live broadcast room,

Yang Yi and Wang Meng were commentating on the game.

"We can see that there are some fans wearing red national team jerseys at the scene. They should be here to cheer for Wang Ba."

"He was suspended for 16 games in his rookie season and was cut just after his comeback. It is not easy to get a contract. I hope he can perform well and gain a foothold in the NBA. ”

TNT live broadcast room,

Four major groups, Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson were also discussing Wang Ba.

"Charles, there is an old friend in the Lakers.

"Who?"

"Wang Ba."

"I know he made 3 3-pointers in 18.7 seconds, the finals against the Knicks, but I don't know him."

Johnson grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth:

"He is Yao Ming's fellow countryman, and you can be considered an old friend. How about we predict tonight, how many points he can score?"

"Oh! Steve!"

Recalling the embarrassing things in the past, Barkley's face was dark red:

"Wang Ba signed a short contract. Although he has completed the feat of 9 points in 18.7 seconds, his continuous scoring ability may not be strong. I predict that his score will not exceed 40 points."

Johnson covered his head and shouted:

"You might as well say no more than 81 points."

"That's totally fine. "

Barkley grinned. He would never kiss a donkey's ass again. That smell is refreshing!

At the game,

The starting lineups of both teams appeared.

The Lakers were James, Pants, Pope, Ingram, McGee,

Wang Ba did not start, which was reasonable. The haters were very excited.

"Hahaha, the garbage king does not deserve to play."

"I love little Walton, keep it up."

"It's better not to let him play!"

The starting lineup of the Nuggets,

Joe, Murray, Millsap, Harris, Beasley.

A very regular lineup,

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

[Ding!]

[The lucky wheel is turned on. Do you want to use it now?]

"Use it! ”

【Thank you for your patronage】

It was no surprise that Wang Ba had already guessed this result. With a 3% winning rate, it was a surprise that he got it right.

At the start of the game,

the Nuggets double-teamed James in the high position, and James passed the ball to create opportunities for his teammates.

It was a good start.

Pope and Pants Ma each made a 3-pointer, but soon the Lakers began to miss shots frequently, and the Nuggets shrank recklessly.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Nuggets led by 8 points, and the official timeout ended, and James started the playoffs. mode, inside and outside shooting, forcing the score.

The Nuggets immediately made adjustments, set up a 23 zone defense, put Plumlee on the court, further protected the basket, and took a step back on the outside line.

James's style of play is very afraid of shrinking. The Nuggets' defensive strategy worked, strangling the Lakers inside and outside lines. Murray and Coach Yo let go and opened fire, and the score difference instantly reached 12 points.

"The Lakers' outside line problem still exists. I suggest changing Wang Ba to try. If he can make a shot, LeBron's pressure will be much less."

The easiest way to break the 23 zone defense is to make a 3-pointer. The Lakers have used nearly 20 games to prove that their 3-pointers are not good.

Only Wang Ba can try.

Walton Jr. requested a timeout,

"Wang... you go! ”

Not giving Wang Ba a start is to appease the emotions of Pantsma and Ingram. If the new player starts right away, there will definitely be discord within the team.

There is another reason,

Wang Ba's speed and confrontation are poor, and he may not be effective against the Nuggets' defense.

The Nuggets use a 23 zone defense, which is clearly to let the Lakers shoot 3 points. Now Wang Ba can play a miraculous effect.

As long as Wang Ba sneaks in two 3-pointers, the Nuggets dare not leave them open again. If they make adjustments, the inside defense will be weakened, and James' role can be maximized.

And Wang Ba can pass the ball. If Wang Ba and Lao Zhan connect, the picture is too beautiful to watch!
