At seven o'clock, a group of reporters wanted to enter the home team's locker room for an interview, but were refused.
Under normal circumstances, locker room interviews are arranged after the game. Locker room interviews are arranged before the game, depending on the team's arrangements.
Colangelo considered that Wang Tiejun had a lot of scandals recently, so he did not arrange a pre-game interview, fearing that reporters would target him and affect his game status.
One of these reporters, Rob Lundgren, had just returned from China.
At 7:30, the two teams announced tonight's starting lineup.
Hornets: Mourning, Larry Johnson, David Wingate, Kendall Gill, Bogues.
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Cedric Ceballos, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson.
This game was broadcast live nationwide by TNT and was the Suns' national live broadcast.
In the TNT commentary box, commentator Letem loosened his earphones and said to his partner with a smile: "You know, Dot, I received news from my colleague. The Suns and the Hornets almost came to a fight just now. In fact, they have already started."
Got started."
Dot was not surprised and said with a smile: "Although Larry Johnson is only a sophomore, his toughness on and off the field is already well-known throughout the United States. I heard that he also has a gang background. He is not someone to be trifled with. He is an absolute villain.
.
And his rookie partner, the Hornets' No. 2 overall pick Mourning, is also a tough character. He is said to be very difficult to mess with and has a very tough and aggressive style of play.
As for the Suns, it goes without saying that the villain Barkley beat the four villains Laimbeer, but what I want to talk about is the Chinese coolie Lao K.
Old K has only been in the league for half a month. He has only played a few games and has already had several fights. He also fought against the four villains Oakley. He is also a standard villain and fights more than he plays.
You know, just today, some media just broke the news about him. He is actually a criminal in China. He was once imprisoned for one year for fighting and wounding. He really has a strong violent factor and is a dangerous person.
It is worth our vigilance.
Therefore, I am actually not surprised that they had conflicts off the court, because this is very likely to happen, and it is very likely that they will fight with one wrong look."
Letem nodded and smiled: "Yes, they may be like this: Why are you looking at me? What am I looking at you? Then start fighting."
"Ha ha……"
The two of them laughed when they said this.
At 7:40, the starting lineup begins, and at 8:00, the game starts.
Wang Tiejun and Mourning stood in the center circle, preparing to jump the ball.
"Chinese, can you jump one foot high?" Mourning spat trash talk.
"Dwarf, I can poop and pee on your head, do you want a taste?" Wang Tiejun responded.
"Pooh!"
Moning is so perverted, damn perverted!
At this time, the referee threw the ball into the sky. Mourning reacted too quickly, and his athletic qualities surpassed Wang Tiejun's, one of which was his bullet speed.
His bounce was very fast, he jumped up instantly, popped up, and was the first to bat the ball away.
"What the hell!"
After losing the first battle, Lao Wang quickly retreated to the backcourt.
Mourning wanted to go directly to the basket, but was blocked by him.
Mourning made an attempt. He squeezed hard first, trying to test Lao Wang's strength, but the result came out immediately and he couldn't squeeze.
"Get away!"
Wang Tiejun suddenly made a forward strike, which pushed Mourning forward.
"What the hell!"
After scolding, Mourning could only retreat to the low position on the right wing, and the three seconds were up.
At this time, the ball came into the hands of Larry Johnson in the low post on the left wing, and he started to hit Barkley with his back.
His weight has reached 113 kilograms, his upper limbs are extremely strong, and he is full of strength. His official height is 198 centimeters, but in fact, like Barkley, it is a false report, and he may not even be 195 centimeters.
Given his height and his tonnage, it can be seen that his muscle ratio is quite high and his strength is very strong.
Barkley weighs 115 kilograms and is similar in height, but he has more fat. He has been a fat man since he was a student. In terms of muscle ratio, he is not as good as Larry Johnson, so he suffers a bit in terms of basic strength.
Both of them are masters of back hitting, but after Larry Johnson arched twice, with his strong strength, Barkley could not withstand it.
The two were of the same type and had similar technical styles. When he reached the edge of the paint area, Larry Johnson also made a turnaround jumper and hit a goal.
When Larry Johnson scored a goal on his head, Barkley just smiled, but felt a little sympathetic.
The first few balls were blocked by Barkley and Larry Johnson. Mourning and Wang Tiejun only grabbed one backcourt rebound each.
The two short power forwards each made one of two shots, and the two teams were tied.
The Hornets' third offense.
Mourning was actively taking position in the low post on the right wing.
"Little dwarf, haven't you eaten? Use force, raise your elbows..." Wang Tiejun provoked with trash talk.
"Bang!"
Mourning really raised his elbow, and when he was squeezing in, he elbowed Wang Tiejun in the chest with his backhand.
"If it's not flavorful enough, focus more on it, like me."
Wang Tiejun moved his elbow forward and poked Mourning's soft waist.
"Damn it!"
Moning's face changed, and he couldn't help but tremble all over. He felt numbness in his lower back, and the force of his elbow penetrated his internal organs, causing him to feel the urgency to urinate.
"mock up!"
Lao Wang secretly cursed, "I, Bazi, have both fists and elbows. With my iron mountain strength and the strength of my elbows, I can kill you with one elbow."
At this time, the ball was passed down from the top of the arc. Mourning caught the ball with one hand, suddenly turned around, and slid downwards.
Wang Tiejun reacted slowly and instinctively swung his arm with an elbow, knocking Mourning down directly. This action was so obvious that the referee's whistle sounded.
"Perverted coolie, you are not only an offensive idiot, but also a defensive idiot. You are a big sieve." After causing his opponent a foul, the proud Mourning got up and immediately cursed.
"I said you don't have the guts to confront me, you weakling!" Wang Tiejun spat back.
"Damn criminal, you escaped from prison and came to the United States, right?" Mourning cursed.
"Boom!"
This hit Wang Tiejun's pain point. In anger, he hit his head and attacked with a headbutt, hitting Mourning's forehead.
"Ouch!"
Mourning screamed in pain, covered his head, and staggered back.
"Oh, God, the Chinese coolies are attacking Mourning, control him quickly." At the TNT commentary booth, Letem exclaimed and roared angrily.
"Aunt, it's up to you. It's time to show your toughness. We must let the Chinese coolies see the fighting power of us Americans." Dot roared excitedly.
In the live commentary box, the Suns' commentator shouted excitedly: "It must be that rookie Mourning who is provoking Old K. We have to fight back, we must fight back. Old K, you are a desert behemoth, your fighting power is
Where?"
The bottom lines on both sides are the media boxes. Behind the Suns' frontcourt bottom line, New York Times reporter Rob Lundgren shouted excitedly:
"Look, that Chinese violent element is attacking Mourning again. The most appropriate place for him is prison. He should be sent back."
