Chapter 79 Swift watching the game, talking trash before the Heke game!
November 11th, 6pm US time.
There is still an hour and a half before the game starts, and there are already a sea of people outside Staples Arena!
The emotions of Lakers fans are extremely high. To the fans, tonight's showdown is not just an ordinary regular season, but more like a contest between old enemies!
The Suns and Lakers, who are in the same Pacific Division, are mortal enemies. The history of grudges between these two teams can be traced back to the show-time era of the Lakers.
At that time, the Lakers had a record of 63 wins in the regular season, and they were confident that they would win the O'Brien Cup that year. However, the Lakers lost in the Western Conference semifinals.
That's right, it was the Suns that attacked the Lakers.
It was also from that year that the relationship between the Lakers and the Suns was forged.
Two years later, the Lakers were defeated by the Suns with match point in hand.
It wasn't until the Lakers in the OK era that they pushed the Suns to the ground in 2000 that they finally regained some face.
Last season, the 2006-2007 season, Kobe played the most classic playoff game of his career in the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, with double overtime, double buzzer beaters, and 50 crazy kills!
That's right, this time the Suns have truly become the backdrop for the Lakers.
But under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers did not have the last laugh. The miraculous Nash led the Suns to pull off three consecutive games and stage a great reversal!
So there is the classic Lakers lost, Kobe did not lose...
The history of the feud between the two teams is like a TV series with ups and downs.
This year the Lakers successfully introduced Garnett, and the strength of both sides' lineups has returned to the same level. Lakers fans are looking forward to the team's revenge at home tonight!
During the warm-up period, Chen Yan could feel the fiery enthusiasm of Lakers fans!
"The sun will be rolled up like a tortilla!"
"Go back to your Phoenix!"
"Rookie, Kobe and KK will eat you alive!"
Chen Yan was not disturbed by the audience on the sidelines. He knew that Lakers players would receive the same treatment when they came to Phoenix.
"Hey! Chen!" The warm-up had just begun when Chen Yan saw Taylor Swift standing in the first row waving to him.
"Taylor, why are you here?" Chen Yan put down the basketball and walked up to her.
Chen Yan knew that Swift had been recording songs in Los Angeles during this period, but he didn't expect that she would come to watch his game tonight.
"I came here specifically to cheer you up. I didn't tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise!"
"But you're wearing Kobe's jersey??"
Chen Yan took a look at Swift's Lakers No. 24 and said he loves me while wearing Pinru's clothes?
There are indeed enough surprises.
"Haha! Isn't it because it's the Lakers' home court? You know, these guys are crazy."
After speaking, Swift lifted up Kobe's jersey, revealing the Suns' No. 0 jersey underneath.
Good guy, watching the game is like Infernal Affairs...
Chen Yan thinks Swift is a little childish and cute, completely different from the Taylor Swift she could only see on the screen in her previous life.
At this time, the fans' voices suddenly became louder, and Kobe came in from the player tunnel.
"Let me say hello to Kobe." After speaking to Swift, Kobe walked towards Kobe.
"Hi, Kobe!"
Chen Yan naturally said hello to Kobe.
Although the two had never met before, Chen Yan knew that Kobe had watched his NCAA games and must know him.
"Hey, Chen, I've seen your game live before, and I've seen a lot of news about you recently. You're doing a good job, keep up the hard work." Kobe patted Chen Yan on the shoulder.
"So are you ready for me to get 30 on top of your head?" Chen Yan said with a smile.
"Hahaha! You know who you are talking to, you college player!"
Kobe smiled very loudly. Rookies usually come to him to ask for autographs and photos. He treated Kobe like an idol. Chen Yan, a rookie, was very special.
"Sorry, I'm an NBA player, not a college player." Chen Yan retorted.
"Don't think that wearing an NBA jersey means you are not a college student. You have only played 5 games in the NBA. If I remember correctly, you have not played in the NCAA for a long time. You have played for one year? You spent most of your time looking at the water cooler.
You only entered the starting lineup in the championship, so you are just a high school player."
The more he said it, the more outrageous it became, and even high school students came out...
"I know I'm not a high school player, but I really made the NBA feel like a high school league." Even 30 consecutive games gave Chen Yan a burst of confidence.
"Listen, you have no chance of beating me. You young people will only ask the referee for the whistle. I tell you, this is not how the game is played." Obviously, Kobe watched Chen Yan's last game where he got 13 free throws.
Video.
Kobe continued: "I'll give you a suggestion. Search the Internet for videos of a man named Kobe playing. You will learn a lot."
Mamba's trash talk is as skilled as his basketball skills, but in comparison, Chen Yan's current trash talk level is far from keeping up with his basketball level.
However, he has only played 5 games in the NBA and there is still a lot of room for improvement...
"See you on the field!" Chen Yan said and turned to leave.
At this time, Kobe deliberately loudly said to the reporter who was preparing to interview him: "Actually, I think Chen is still very talented and plays well. He can still play a dozen high school games."
After hearing this, Chen Yan suddenly turned back and said to reporters and the camera next to him: "Do you know why Kobe keeps talking about the high school league and the high school league? That's because he only has a high school degree!"
Kobe laughed loudly after hearing this, but he didn't expect that he would be killed by this rookie in the end!
But Kobe didn't think Chen Yan was provoking him. He liked this rookie's character. He thought he was just a competitive young man challenging his seniors.
Just like he did to Jordan back then.
The highlight of this game is not only on the field, but also in the tnt studio...
"Are you ready?" Barkley looked at Kenny Smith with a wicked smile.
Reggie Miller, who was standing by with a look of anticipation, was tonight's guest commentator.
Kenny Smith nodded shyly. He lost a bet during the Nuggets game before, and the bet was to commentate on the next Suns game in his underwear.
However, Kenny Smith did not take off his pants on the spot. He thought that was too vulgar.
Kenny Smith had taken off his pants beforehand and covered his legs with a long piece of cloth.
In front of the camera, Buckley slowly pulled away the piece of cloth with a mischievous smile on his face, as if by magic.
"God! What the hell kind of underwear are these!" Buckley exclaimed after lifting the long cloth.
"These are underwear transformed from Chen's jersey to show my support for Chen." Kenny Smith said with a smile, looking very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"I don't think Chen will like your support."
"I feel so too."
Reggie Miller and Barkley looked at each other and said.
The three retired old men's show together is very effective.
