Chapter 28 The duel between the spear and the shield, interview before the game!
"The hell is this a basketball game venue?"
When Chen Yan stepped into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, he once wondered if he had entered the wrong set.
This place is ridiculously big!
As the main stadium in 1982, the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium is one of the largest stadiums in the world. This stadium can accommodate up to 92,000 spectators!
However, temporarily transforming a football field into a basketball field requires a lot of adjustments.
In order to ensure the fans' viewing experience, the tournament organizing committee deliberately rebuilt the stage and raised the entire stadium.
In addition, nearly 800 LED screens were prepared and spliced into a super screen as big as a basketball court!
In addition, the event organizing committee also closed some stands with poor visibility.
Even so, the number of spectators at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium tonight reached an astonishing 76,000!
What is the concept of more than 70,000 spectators?
Everyone stamping their feet can probably cause an earthquake in the entire arena!
There are more spectators at a basketball game than at a football game. This scenario is probably only seen in the NCAA tournament in the world.
After Durant looked around, he slowly put down the crispy noodles in his hand: "It's incredible! This is my first time playing in front of so many people!"
"Don't be nervous, KD." Chen Yan patted Durant on the back.
"Chen, I'm not nervous, I'm excited!"
Other Texas players also exclaimed, "Wow."
This is the stage that all basketball players dream of!
Facing such a stage, it is normal to feel a little nervous and excited.
Not to mention these young people from the NCAA, most NBA stars have never played in front of so many fans!
"This place is awesome! It would be very shocking if everyone shouted your name together!"
In the first row of the auditorium, a figure most familiar to Los Angeles fans appeared.
Kobe Bryant appeared at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium in casual clothes!
Also appearing with Kobe were his Lakers teammates Lamar Odom, Luke Walton and Smush Parker.
The overwhelming reports made Kobe very interested in Chen Yan. This game was held in Los Angeles, so Kobe appeared at today's game, and everything happened naturally.
Kobe holds his eldest daughter Natalia in his arms, waiting for the game to start.
Vanessa didn't come with Kobe today. Her second daughter, Gigi, is about to be born. It's not convenient to watch the game with her big belly.
In addition to current Lakers players, a number of Lakers legends also attended the event.
‘Sky Hook’ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, ‘Magic John’ Johnson, James Worthy, and Elgin Baylor appeared in the broadcast footage one after another when the players from both sides were warming up.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift and many other celebrities in the entertainment industry also appeared at the scene.
Most of these celebrities are based in Los Angeles and are basketball fans. Naturally, they will not miss this grand basketball event.
When the broadcast camera scanned these stars, Van Gundy in the commentary box couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the scene of the All-Star Game?"
"Hahahaha!" Mike Brin laughed loudly on the side. He liked his bald partner more and more.
"The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is really big. The audience in the back rows probably feels like watching a few ants watching the players on the field. The fans at the top can't even see the big screen clearly," Mike Breen said with a smile.
.
"However, watching the game live and in front of the TV are two completely different atmospheres. I hope the fans will have an unforgettable watching experience tonight," Van Gundy said.
"Come on, Jeff, tell me who you like tonight." Mike Breen looked at Van Gundy.
The pre-match prediction session may be late, but it will never be absent.
Van Gundy thought for a while: "Honestly, it's hard to predict. The University of Florida has six NBA-level players, three of whom are the favorites in this year's lottery, and Texas has a pair of kings, especially
Chen, he brought us so many surprises in this year’s NCAA championships!”
Mike Breen nodded and continued: "Adhering to Coach Donovan's consistent selfless and balanced coaching style, Florida's five starters have been able to average more than 10 points per game this year, and so far in the championship, they have
Being able to suppress the opponent to a low average of only 56.8 points per game, and a terrifying shooting rate of only 37.0%!"
"And the University of Texas averaged an astonishing 85.8 points per game after 4 rounds! The average points per game ranked first among all teams participating in 'March Madness'!"
"Today's game is a showdown between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield!"
Mike Breen immediately opened up the topic.
With the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, fans' expectations for this duel have risen to another level!
Inside the stadium, Chen Yan accepted a brief interview with an ESPN reporter during the warm-up period.
"Chen, what are your expectations for tonight's game at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium?" an ESPN reporter asked.
Chen Yan smiled: "I can't wait to hear the screams of the fans at the scene. I believe this is a very special experience."
"Recently, fans have given you a lot of nicknames, including Allen Iverson plus, 5cm-long Wade, and youth version of Jordan. Which of these nicknames do you like best?"
"As long as the fans are happy, each of these nicknames is very loud, but I still prefer others to call me by my name directly." Chen Yan replied.
"During the 'March Madness' stage, you continuously performed dazzlingly and scored high scores, but some fans believe that this is related to the fact that the NCAA's defensive intensity is not as good as before. What do you think of this?"
"It's my fault. I made scoring look easy, which led to some illusion among the fans."
"Noah said in an interview before the game that crispy noodles are only eaten by children, and they will never lose to children. Do you have any response to this?"
"After the game, he will understand that it is easier for me to eat him alone than to eat dry noodles."
Chen Yan understood that this was the reporter's deliberate attempt to cause trouble, but he still chose to respond forcefully.
He was not simply arguing with Noah, but more wanted to overwhelm the opponent with momentum before the game started.
