BAB 56
Today TNT sent special comments to the Lakers, including Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, and Lakers consultant Kareem.
Such matches are of course broadcast live nationally.
"The latest news, today Elden Campbell will not play because of his narrow hip. Today, Michael Udin will replace him as the starting power forward.
The Lakers would send two rookies to start at the same time, which was a very, very rare situation.
However, the Houston Rockets are not a complete lineup. Hakim Olajuwon is yet to return after being injured in the game against the Timberwolves. He still won't play in this match.
Although the Rockets' top card is still recovering, the Houston Rockets are still on a winning streak, and now lead the league with a record of 11 wins and 1 loss!
The only game that the Houston Rockets lost was to the Los Angeles Lakers in extra time at home. Even if the big dream doesn't exist, they must complete their revenge in Los Angeles!
Before the match, Charles Barkley had already issued his cruel words, He said that if Michael Udin was still playing, he would definitely kick Michael Udin's ass! "
As the youngest of the Lakers to comment on the Big Three, Magic Johnson was in charge of the game.
"Charles Barkley is a really big mouth. He also promised to promise that if Michael Udin can score 20 points in one game, he will kiss the ass ass."
Advisors like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are very laid back, and he can even sit on the sidelines during Lakers games to make some extra cash.
Charles Barkley spoke wild words in a previous interview with TNT. He said that Michael Udin was by no means an NBA level player. If Michael Udin can score 20 points in a game, then he will kiss his ass!
"This child was born at the right time. If Charles Barkley dares to be so arrogant when I play, I will make him regret being an inside player.
Why is he kissing her ass? Isn't there a woman like her? "
Wilt Chamberlain's focus has always been on words like ass and women.
"I think Michael Udin is very popular with women. The rumored girlfriend is sitting on the sidelines!"
By the way, Magic Johnson is a bit envious, jealous and hateful
"This child has good eyesight. I have only known seventy or eighty girls in my life who are prettier than this girl."
Seventy to eighty out of 20,000, this was the highest evaluation Wilt Chamberlain could give.
"I hope Michael Udin can maintain the Lakers tradition of not putting off playing games on dates, otherwise I would never have allowed him, but I often sacrifice downtime to coach him."
Karim knew that there was only one Chamberlain, after all, not everyone had an iron kidney.
Michael Udin's current popularity score is very subtle, he is clearly a substitute rookie who only played about 20 minutes, but he always has a high level of discussion.
Since Elden Campbell decided to strike a truce before the game started, Delmar Harris could only make a few adjustments to his original tactics.
"Olajuwon still couldn't play today, and Gary also decided to let Elden make a truce.
So the key to our victory was to limit Charles Barkley, Odin will be our starting force, Shaq, you can judge if you want to double Charles Barkley's team.
Kobe, you must be prepared for adversity. You defended him really well in the last game, but his personal condition did have some problems that day. You have to be serious today. treat. "
After discussing this, Michael Udin, like the other four starters, took off his long shirt and trousers and stepped onto the pitch.
The Lakers started with Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Udin, Eddie Jones, Kobe Bryant, and Nick Van Exel.
Houston Rockets starting center Kevin Willis, power forward Charles Barkley, minor striker Mario Elie, shooting guard Clyde Drexler, point guard Derek Fisher.
When the jump ball was standing, Michael Udin again chatted with Charles Barkley.
"Charles, did you consider the feeling of kissing my ass when you said that to the reporter?"
Michael Udin looked at Charles Barkley with a smile.
"With a weak body like yours, it's impossible to score 20 points in the men's league.
You can only exist in your beautiful illusions, and this kind of being will not come into contact with me. "
Charles Barkley looked very calm at this point.
Amid the cheers of the Staples supporters, the referee blew the whistle to signal the start of the match.
Shaquille O'Neal easily won the jump ball, and the Los Angeles Lakers also used the same opening words in their first attack, the lowly single Sharks!
Without Judge Olajuwon, the Houston Rockets unexpectedly did not choose the double-team.
Two meters three Kevin Willis defended alone. Shark O'Neal went in easily after dribbling twice. The sign turned around and it was a dunk, and the referee's whistle sounded!
Shark O'Neal showing his exaggerated biceps to the camera When he walked to the free throw line he found that the referee had given him an offensive foul!
"Dear Mr Referee, how can this be an offensive foul?", Shark O'Neill asked the referee with an innocent expression on his head.
"Your elbows lighten up when you turn around, and you hit the center of the Rockets forward in the face!"
The referee gave an explanation to Shaq.
Kevin Willis, who was lying on the ground and covering his face, looked at the referee from his fingers, and he showed an invisible sly smile.
Shaquille O'Neal's offensive elbow problem has been with him throughout his career. If the referee is too tight or the opponent's acting skills are outstanding, Sharks can always suffer from this problem.
However, this kind of action also coexists with risks and benefits, such a strong turn will always make some centers do not dare to back down.
The boos in the sky couldn't change the referee's penalty, and the Lakers could only invest in defense.
The Houston Rockets passed Charles Barkley through several passes, but Charles Barkley's position was a bit odd today. Instead of asking for the low post, he came to the right of the forty-five-degree three line. Hold the ball.
Charles Barkley made a tentative move. Michael Udin lowered the center to keep from his breakthrough. Unexpectedly, Charles Barkley shot a confident three-pointer when Michael Udin put it two steps away.
Get into the net! The hardest body shows the softest touch!
Charles Barkley played at a very high level in the absence of Hakim Olajuwon. He regained the feeling of being the boss. Charles Barkley's first shot in the opening showed a nice touch!
Charles Barkley stepped back and stretched his arms out towards Michael Udin, making an extremely disdainful expression.
After being scored by Charles Barkley for a three-pointer, Michael Udin had no frustration mentality. Even though Barkley owed him a point, his strength was still there. It earned him two or thirty points in a game. Couldn't have been more normal.
The Lakers struck again, and Nick Van Exel feared Shaquille O'Neal would repeat the same mistake, he didn't give the ball to Shaq for a single.
"Odin!"
Nick Van Exel dribbles while asking for Michael Udin's pick and roll.
Michael Udin quickly ran outside to make cover for his teammates. As Kareem Abdul-Jabbar analyzed in training, Michael Udin's thin pick-and-roll effect was not good, and Derek Fisher easily slipped through Michael Udin's torso.
Pick-and-roll did not form, and Nick Van Exel could only pass the ball to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant strong one on one rush Drexler!
Drexler, locked in a fight, choked with vengeful fury Drexler displays strong aggressiveness in early defense.
Kobe shifts the ball, Eddie Jones can't escape his opponent's trap The Rockets' impressive record of 11 wins and 1 loss is achieved with this all-in-one defense!
No one can do it. The ball had to be handed to Shaquille O'Neal in the end. The shark, who committed a foul in the first round, did not dare to attack with all its strength. When he turned and pressed into the basket, Charles Barkley immediately stepped up to the doubles team.
"Here! Shaq!"
Michael Udin, who was not guarded in the basket, hastily shouted.
Shaq leaned back and passed the ball into Michael Udin's hands before being snatched away!
Without sharply bending his knees, crouching or releasing the ball, Michael Udin pulled his leg with minimal motion to take off!
Derek Fisher rushed and flew to make his defense!
Michael Udin's body suffered a strong impact! Before losing his center of gravity, Michael Udin slams the ball into the basket with his left hand!
Michael Udin tightened his five fingers, and the reverse tug of the basket pulled his body out of control!
And Derek Fisher, who was whistling for a foul, turned sideways in the air and slapped the floor hard!
Michael Udin was hanging from the basket with one hand, his body swaying in the air, and his opponent lying on the ground in shame. Referees also coordinate and unanimously judge defensive fouls. Two valid penalties will be imposed!
Such a sight made the Staples Center boil instantly!
"Well done Odin! You are the strongest Asian man I have ever seen!"
"That's the reason why I spent thousands of dollars watching this game. Good job!"
"Odin, I want to date you! I'll pay for the room myself!"
"You are the Prince of the Lakers, Odin!"
The fans screamed in panic, and they gave Michael Udin a direct boost in their own way.
Teammates also ran and high-fived Michael Udin.
"Still missing 17 points."
Michael Udin let go of his hand and landed, he said blankly beside Charles Barkley.
"Play dunk only 2 points."
Charles Barkley couldn't let go of what he was missing.
"I use free throws to score as easily as you eat a hamburger. You don't have to be lucky, just score the points."
Michael Udin stopped staring at Barkley and walked over to the free throw line. As he himself said, a free throw equals one point.
The personal grievances between Michael Udin and Charles Barkley, which were heated up by the media before the match, went head-to-head at the start of the game!
Charles Barkley had regained the feeling of the Phoenix Suns, almost all offense dominated by him.
Once again with the ball just outside the three-point line, Michael Udin didn't dare put Barkley too far.
But Michael Udin was very afraid of Charles Barkley's breakthrough. In the face of the investigation into Barkley's triple threat, Michael Udin's center of defense continues to move.
Charles Barkley wasn't in the mood for a chat, and suddenly he shot straight into the three-point line from the right!
Step back by a big difference, jump outside the three-point line!
The ball went into the net and Charles Barkley made the second three-pointer of the game!
"Welcome to the NBA!"
Charles Barkley stretched his arms towards Michael Udin. Such a meeting is a must for every beginner.
Michael Udin also feels that things may not go well, and Barkley's touch may be full of fire today.
Kobe ran and patted midfielder Michael Udin.
Even though Charles Barkley waved the flag before the game and said Michael Udin couldn't get 20 points, his help to defend the Sharks would have left Michael Udin in the open.
Faced with team interests and personal complaints, Charles Barkley did not hesitate to choose the former, he still has professional ethics today.
In addition, Charles Barkley has inexplicable confidence in his defense, he feels that it is very easy for him to double the team of Sharks while also keeping Michael Udin!
