Los Angeles, this is not Li Ang’s first time visiting this place.

The last time he came here to play, Li Ang won the NJCAA championship trophy.

It's just that the last time I played here, almost no one paid attention except the students from Chuyahoga Community College.

But this time is different. The battle between Leon and Odom has been exaggerated by the media into a focus battle.

Odom's 30-point double-double in the first game was truly explosive.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only five players who can score 30 points in their first game, let alone a 30-point double-double.

Although Odom's performance in the next few games declined slightly compared to the opening game, overall it was still outstanding.

For example, in the last game against Garnett, he scored 22 points and 7 rebounds.

Another example is the last game against the Bucks, Odom also scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

At this stage, Odom is undoubtedly the man closest to the Rookie of the Year award.

Although Odom, as a fourth position, shot less than 40% in two consecutive games, his efficiency was a bit low.

But people in this era don't pay much attention to efficiency, as long as they score enough points.

Besides Odom, the most amazing performance among the rookies in the 1999 class is Li Ang.

Entered the NBA and played six games, scoring double-doubles in four of them.

Moreover, Li Ang's explosive playing style also left a very deep impression on the fans.

So these days, people have been arguing endlessly about the topic of "Who is stronger, Le Ang or Odom?"

After all, Odom is a rookie in Los Angeles, so the attention is very high. Although this is just a duel between two rookies, it was played up by fans and the media like a duel between two superstars.

This game has also been temporarily adjusted to be broadcast live across the United States. It can be said that not many rookies in the league can receive such treatment.

The next day, as soon as the Dragons' bus arrived at the Staples Center, the new home of the Lakers and Clippers, reporters were making dumplings.

I have to say that when playing games in Los Angeles, the attention is really high.

Li Ang still remembers that when he went to Charlotte to play the Hornets, the attendance was abysmal.

Compared with this, it is simply a judgment call.

Li Ang began to understand why so many people were eager to run to big cities.

Walking into the Staples locker room, Li Ang started to put on his long johns. He was really afraid that Artest would teach Odom some weird defensive methods.

It was our first time to play in Los Angeles this season, and everyone was very excited.

Only veteran Kevin Willis was not happy.

Odom's extremely fast fourth position is simply his nightmare, and it makes him tired just thinking about it.

But a few minutes later, Uncle Butch brought Willis good news.

"Lee, you are here today. I know you have been longing for this game for a long time. Come on, give Odom a good beating!"

Uncle Butch smiled at Li Ang. He had played six games in the regular season and he thought Li Ang should be fully ready to play.

McGrady and Carter also looked at Li Ang with smiles. They agreed yesterday that they would feed Li Ang more balls today.

In short, the whole team is looking forward to Li Ang's performance in front of Odom to prove himself.

On the other end, Odom was also fully prepared for this game.

A week ago, he just signed up for a karate training class and bought several insurance policies.

Even if something unexpected happens, you can still leave something at home.

Don't ask why playing basketball is so tragic. There are two types of basketball - playing basketball with Li Ang and playing basketball with others.

"Is it so exaggerated? That Chinese guy looks just like that, nothing special." Seeing Odom being so nervous, Olowokandi smiled disdainfully.

In his opinion, Li Ang is just ordinary.

Even in terms of appearance, she is still slightly inferior to him, the number one scholar.

Odom looked at Olowokandi with disdain, you have the nerve to bury others.

I didn't know what was so special about you, but you were able to beat Carter, Dirk and others in last year's draft.

Both sides are making preparations, and on the court, the major commentators are also warming up for this game.

"Lee and Lamar played against each other once in college. Although it was just a friendly match, Li Ang performed particularly well in that game, even better than Odom. Do you think the result of this game will be the same as before?

?”

Kevin Harlan is very supportive of Li Ang. After all, who doesn't like a young man who is physically fit and passionate about playing basketball?

"Not necessarily, because Lamar has made great progress in more than a year, and we have all seen his performance in recent games. I think this will be a great challenge for Li." Marvin.

Albert responded.

As they talked, players from both sides came out to warm up at the same time.

Suddenly, the cheers in the arena were deafening. The Los Angeles fans had been waiting for this battle for too long.

Of course, most of the Los Angeles fans who came to the scene came to see how Odom educated Leon.

After Li Ang came on the field, he looked at Odangdang and saw that the guy was indeed stronger than when he was in college.

Elgin Baylor sat in the luxury box with serious eyes.

Last year, he took a gamble and chose Olowokandi, who only started playing basketball at the age of 17.

As it stands now, Olowokandi has not fulfilled his talent.

Therefore, Baylor was also criticized verbally and in writing by the Los Angeles media.

And this year, he gave up Li Ang and chose Odom. He hoped that Odom could help him complete his redemption.

I can’t be the one who makes the wrong choice every time!

On the Clippers side, the players began to warm up by shooting as usual.

But after a while, there was a "bang bang bang" sound inside the Staples Center.

I turned around and saw three cute dragons showing off a dunk.

Carter can perform a flat-framed windmill casually, and Li Ang's wild and powerful dunks also make the fans' blood rush.

McGrady came up with a self-throw and a dunk, which was also very eye-catching.

Many Los Angeles fans cheered. The Dragons are indeed one of the best teams to play this year.

Seeing the home fans cheering for their opponents, Odangdang refused.

What are you doing? I am the proud son of Los Angeles!

Isn't it just a dunk? Who can't do it anymore?

O'Dangdang picked up the basketball and said, "I'm holding back my shot, I'll dunk it!"

The Clippers generals also knew what Odom was thinking, so they stopped shooting and gave him a runway to take off.

There was a dunk contest between the two sides.

This unusual scene really made the fans in the Staples Center focus on Odom.

Although Odom does not rely on physical fitness to make a living, he was still good at flying and dunking before gaining weight.

He hugged the basketball and started running from the three-point line. He jumped two steps inside the free throw line and made a big loop with his arms. He was going to do a windmill dunk!

The Los Angeles fans raised their arms, anticipating the moment of successful dunk and cheering for Odom.

As a result, Odom's windmill had just turned half a circle, and the ball accidentally let go!

Odom panicked at the time and tried to regain control of the ball in the air.

But this was such a difficult thing. Not only did he fail to hold the ball in the end, Odom also lost his center of gravity because of the random movements in the air, and his body tilted and fell.

With a "chirp" sound, Odom fell to the ground and the basketball fell next to him.

At that moment, Staples was eerily quiet.

Everyone looked at Odom, and for a time they suspected that he was joking.

His dunk failed. At least he did the action, but in the end he hit the basket and failed to dunk.

It's a good thing that Odom failed to dunk. He didn't even finish the action and he smashed himself to the ground.

Odom lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

It’s not that I can’t get up, it’s that I don’t want to get up and face all this!

Obviously I want to show off, but this is crazy...

The three Raptors brothers looked at Odom's dunk and looked at each other, trying hard not to laugh.

Li Ang feels that Odom is already comparable to Duncan when it comes to windmills.

Brother, you are so weak, take some sea dog pills to replenish your health!

The three of them have been telling themselves that they must hold it back, they must hold it back. We have received professional training, and no matter how funny things are, we will not laugh.
