On the afternoon of November 5th, Staples Center was very busy.

Outside Staples Stadium in downtown Los Angeles, California, bustling fans wearing various Los Angeles Lakers jerseys began to enter the stadium holding banners and posters.

Staples Center, which was awarded "Arena of the Year" twice in 1999 and 2000, has the most enthusiastic home fans in the entire league.

Before the game, the Nets, led by coach Scott and captain Kidd, watched the video highlights of the Lakers' first three games this season.

O'Neal was devastating at the basket.

Kobe's breakthrough with the ball was like entering a deserted area.

The more everyone watched, the heavier their hearts became.

...

On TV, O'Neal dunked over a defender and pushed his opponent to the ground. He was so domineering!

Scott paused.

He turned to look at the heavy-faced team members.

"Boys, do you have anything to say?"

Van Horn said timidly: "Damn it, the OK group is really awesome."

Kidders also said: "Kobe is almost unstoppable."

Kidd accidentally glanced at Shentong.

Shentong's vision is so sharp and his mind is so flexible.

"Although the OK combination is very powerful, they have lost their original third scoring point Grant, so they can curb the Lakers' overall performance by restricting other players."

Kidd's face showed a hint of surprise, but his eyes showed appreciation.

Shentong quickly pushed Jefferson.

Jefferson seemed to be awakened and quickly said: "Yes, let OK get the points they deserve, and then do our best to cut off OK's connection with other people. It may have good results."

Collins also said: "Although I'm not O'Neal's opponent, at least I can guarantee that he will not get 2+1, so at least, I have 6 opportunities to send him to the free throw line. As everyone knows, O'Neal is at the free throw line.

The performance was disastrous.”

The words of the three rookies seemed to have touched a nerve.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

If you have stage fright before facing a strong opponent, you have already lost half the game.

Both Scott and Kidd believe that the Nets, who have experienced two consecutive victories, are very motivated, but they must overcome their psychological fear before the game.

Martin stood up from his chair and said: "No matter what, we are not delicious meals! If they want to eat us, they must pay the price!"

Kidd's voice was high-pitched and he said: "That's right, at the very least, we have to earn the respect we deserve!"

Everyone's tone became more and more excited.

Under the leadership of the rookies headed by Shentong and the core players of Kidd and Martin, the mood in the locker room began to turn from depressed to high-spirited!

"Kick O'Neal in the balls!"

"I'm going to pluck Kobe's beard."

"Eat the little fish without spitting out the spines!"

The temperature in the locker room is getting higher and higher.

Scott added fuel to the fire.

"Beat the Lakers, tonight will be Los Angeles' free night!"

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Then the sound of the explosion passed through the wall of the locker room and spread far, far away!

Los Angeles nightlife.

It can satisfy all the imagination of men.

This is a huge, sweet cake.

...

Before the game, the media across the United States had a surprisingly unanimous view: the Lakers would brutally beat the Nets.

Even though the Nets have won two consecutive games and just defeated the Wizards led by Jordan.

The well-known American black media ts even made some inappropriate remarks about Shentong's yellow-skinned identity, which became a hot topic of discussion in basketball forums at home and abroad.

Barkley once expressed his opinion when talking about this game: The young Kobe is not the old Jordan. The Lakers will definitely repair the Nets severely. New Jersey has no chance.

...

In this game, the double-tie combination appeared again.

Sun Zhengping: "There are many first-class scorers in the NBA, like Francis, Kobe, Bryant..."

Zhang Weiping: "That's right."

Sun Zhengping: "Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. On the Nets side, Mark Lodge, Martin, Van Horn, Shentong, Kidd, and Chinese player Shentong entered the starting lineup, which is exciting for all Chinese fans.

According to the news, STO will also directly face Kobe Bryant in this game, which will be a major highlight of this game. What does Director Zhang think of STO’s starting lineup?”

Zhang Weiping: "In the first two games of the Nets, Shentong served as a substitute, but his performance on the court was very good. This is one of them. In this game, the original starting shooting guard Corey Kidder

Si is on the injury watch list due to an old ankle injury and is unable to play, which is the second reason. Taking these two aspects together, it is very reasonable for Shentong to be mentioned as a starter by Scott."

Sun Zhengping: "Does Director Zhang know about the American media ts? This media has recently made some inappropriate remarks, which also caused an uproar."

Zhang Weiping nodded and said: "I know this media has a bad reputation and likes to use hype to grab attention. I think STO, as an NBA player, does not need to care about those bad remarks. But at the same time, some people

If you don't teach them a lesson, you won't know what's good, so Shentong's good performance on the court is the best response."

...

The Lakers continued the starting lineup from the previous games: O'Neal, Walker, Fox, Kobe, and Fisher.

The game was about to start, and Shentong followed Kidd and others onto the court.

This is Shentong’s first start since entering college!

Whether it's Peking University, the Arizona Wildcats or the New Jersey Nets.

Shentong looked at Jefferson on the bench.

The other party was staring at him with narrowed eyes.

There was desire in his eyes.

Shen Tong smiled and held out five fingers.

Jefferson rolled his eyes.

Honor or not is not important.

What matters is the $500 bet.

...

As soon as the Nets players came on the court, they felt the warm hospitality of the Lakers fans.

"Shen, go back to China!"

"Jason, you are trash!"

"Kenyon, your muscles must be fake!"

"The Lakers will take off your panties!"

Nets crowd: —_—#

...

Martin and O'Neal stand in the center circle.

Martin, who is 2.06 meters tall, looks very small in front of O'Neal, who is 2.16 meters tall.

but...

An angry Martin wins the ball for the Nets on a jump ball!

Kidd controls the ball.

At this moment, the five people on the Nets court have only one thought: to win!

As the game begins, the props obtained by STO before the game begin to show their effects.

The floor of the Lakers' home court began to show patches of red areas.

...

Shentong holds the ball.

Kobe's defense is full of pressure.

Compared with Jordan's defense yesterday, it was not bad at all.

He glanced at his teammates' positions.

Shentong broke through and scored.

Van Horn, standing in the red zone, took a mid-range shot.

Hit!

The Nets scored first.

According to the details of the prop, the red area represents the player's hot zone.
Chapter completed!
