NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 147 Warm-up match with the Lakers

The victory of this warm-up match made the fans very excited, but for the cavalry players, many problems were also discovered.

For example, after Big Ben left, his ability to protect the frame and rebound on the inside has weakened.

So Maggette needs to work harder.

In addition, the team has added a few newcomers, and the level of tacit understanding has also dropped a lot.

There is no way to do this, we can only rely on time to get used to it. You know, the previous cavalry team was a friendship born of fighting.

A few days later, coach An Zuo walked into the arena excitedly.

The big black dragon saw that coach An Zuo was happy, so he knew something good was going on.

He deliberately asked: "Coach, what's the matter? Did you have an affair?"

"You brat, you only think about men and women as a whole, don't you? All the children come here!"

Coach Anzuo clapped his hands and called the players over.

Seeing his expression, everyone was very curious, wondering if he had something good to announce.

"Coach, hurry up, you can see that your mouth is grinning to the back of your head." Zhao Qiang was also joking.

Coach An Zuo tried his best to put away his smile, and announced loudly: "I have another warm-up match. Guess who is the opponent?"

Brown scratched his head and asked, "Is it UCLA? They just won the NCAA championship."

Coach An Zuo shook his head: "No, I still won't let you guess! This time, the opponent in the warm-up match is the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"What? The Lakers in the NBA?"

"How is it possible? They are a professional team, how do they play?"

"The Lakers are the Lakers, if you are afraid of a bird, do it with them!"

……

The players talked a lot, and Coach An Zuo didn't speak. He knew that the players would definitely be upset when the news came out.

However, only Zhao Qiang did not show a surprised expression, but frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Qiangzi, what do you think?"

Coach An Zuo asked him by name.

"I don't have any ideas, just fight hard!" Zhao Qiang replied lightly.

In fact, Zhao Qiang's first thought was that Jenny Buss was playing tricks.

Jenny Buss met with Zhao Qiang last time and made a request that Zhao Qiang be able to join the Lakers after entering the NBA.

Zhao Qiang didn't tell anyone about this matter, because Jenny is not the manager of the team yet, so her words have no legal effect.

Coach An Zuo clapped his hands again, and said: "The Lakers are a professional team. It is estimated that the team's bench players will play. Even so, their strength is far superior to ours. But we have to play the momentum of our young people. , no matter you win or lose, you must not be cowardly on the scene!"

"Yes!"

"The cavalry must win!"

"BEATLA!"

……

The news spread across the country in an instant.

An NCAA Final Four team, playing against the Lakers is simply incredible.

If you want to say that you are an NCAA champion, it is understandable.

Why?

Zhao Qiang suspected that it was Jenny's idea, so he called Jenny.

"Jenny, did you facilitate this competition?" Zhao Qiang asked her straight to the point.

"Hey, Zhao Qiang, are you talking so directly to me? It's a bit rude!" Jenny's voice was soft and charming, but there was a hint of majesty of a strong woman in her tone.

Zhao Qiang knew that he was a bit reckless, so he softened his tone: "Sorry, I just felt it suddenly. There has never been a game between the NCAA and NBA teams before."

"I think this game is a very good experience for you, and this game is still held at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. You can adapt to the NBA's home atmosphere in advance. Do you like it?"

Zhao Qiang thought to himself, this girl really worked so hard for the Lakers to get her!

"Not bad, then should I... thank you?"

"Giggle..." Jenny laughed wantonly, "You don't need to thank me, it's just a game, and the Lakers will donate the proceeds from this game."

Zhao Qiang felt that the Lakers did it quite generously.

"Okay, but let me say one last thing, Jenny, I can't guarantee that I will definitely go to the Lakers, and... I have a girlfriend..."

"You don't have to tell me this, let's wait and see..."

"..."

Zhao Qiang didn't know what the girl meant, so he shook his head, said hello, and hung up the phone.

The media is happy, and the fans are also crazy.

All major headlines in the basketball sector are all about the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers.

For the NBA, it's the offseason now, and the 95-96 season hasn't started yet.

So the fans feel very boring during the grass planting period, and the summer league is not very good.

Now there is such a match suddenly, it is like a long drought and a sweet dew!

In addition, many fans who watch the NBA have long known that the NCAA has a team that likes to shoot three-pointers, the Cavalry.

They are also very interested.

Of course, most NBA fans still scoff at the Cavaliers.

Because a team that relies on three-pointers will never achieve too much.

This is their inherent thinking.

So before the game started, the fans expressed their thoughts one after another, concluding that the Cavalry would be brutalized!

And many college students are very supportive of the cavalry.

Facing interviews with reporters, several students from Virginia Union University confidently shouted the slogan "Cavalry must win"!

"Our Zhao Qiang and Brown will blow up the Lakers!"

"The Lakers are no big deal, the Cavaliers are sure to beat the shit out of those guys!"

……

Before the game started, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

It has to be said that from a commercial point of view, the attention of this game is full, and the traffic is invincible.

Three days later, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Lakers face the NCAA Final Four team, the Cavaliers!

The arena was full of seats, and the ticket price for this game was originally not set high because it was a public welfare event.

But as soon as the tickets were sold, the Lakers regretted it. It was a second!

The Cavaliers players thought that the Lakers would definitely not send their main players because there was no need.

If the main players win, no one praises them. If they lose, it will be a big shame.

However, when the cavalry players came to the stadium to warm up, they found that the main stars of the opposing Lakers had come!

Van Exel, Divac, Ceballos, Ervin Johnson...

These are the absolute main force of the Lakers.

In the last season, the Lakers' record was fourth in the Western Conference, with a record of 53 wins.

Therefore, the weight of these stars is still quite heavy.

Seeing so many well-known stars, most of the cavalry players are still a little nervous.

Only Zhao Qiang and Du Lin were not nervous, but eager to try.

Lakers coach Harris was very friendly. He took the initiative to come over, shook hands with Coach An Zuo, Zhao Qiang and several other players, and encouraged them to cheer.

At 07:30 in the evening, the game officially begins!
