Chapter 525 The Battle of Hope
At 8 o'clock that night, the Staples Center has become a golden ocean.

All 18 fans wore gold T-shirts.

Even the beauties of the cheerleaders are all blond, and even their hair is all dyed blond.

Zijin Lakers!

Today's gold represents their extreme confidence in the Lakers.

Represents their desire for the golden championship trophy.

Before the game, fans were distributing leaflets to these spectators.

Send them a message: Tonight we're going to be blaring all night, we're going to keep Staples Center ringing with traitors all night.

This is obviously a lesson learned from the last time.

The last time it was the regular season, when the Kings came to visit the Lakers, they just started calling Wang Yi a traitor, but every time they shouted, Wang Yi hit a super long three-pointer, which directly scared them from calling again.

But this time they have made up their minds, like the fans in Salt Lake City, they have to shout from beginning to end.

They want to shout until Wang Yi collapses.

They want to let their voices press down on Wang Yi's head like a mountain, and they want to drown Wang Yi from all directions like a tsunami.

In short, they want to kill Wang Yi with their voices.

During the warm-up, Wang Yi looked around the court.

There are already many fans holding signs with the word "traitor", shouting and cursing, while twisting their bodies triumphantly.

Before the game started, some spectators on the sidelines spontaneously encouraged other fans to call traitors.

"traitor!"

"traitor!"

"traitor!"

……

Wang Yi turned to look at the audience.

Hilde asked Wang Yi: "Boss, are you all right?"

Wang Yi turned around with a smile on his face: "Do you think something is wrong with me?"

Hilde nodded: "It's something. But it should be them."

As he spoke, he glanced at the audience at the scene.

At this time, the starting lineup for the game has been played on the big screen.

After the loss of the last game, the Lakers began to change.

They put Tucker on the starting lineup.

So at this point their starting lineup is:
Point guard: Westbrook;
Shooting guard: Tucker;
Small Forward: Gua Ge;

Power Forward: James;
Center forward: Thick eyebrows.

As for the Kings, since Barnes didn't play, Mitchell should have started on top, but Mitchell was too short.If he starts, the overall height of the Kings' starting lineup is really too short.

So Walton started Danny, a taller rookie, and replaced Barnes as the starting small forward.

Point guard: Hield;

Shooting guard: Wang Yi;
Small Forward: Danny;

Power forward; Bagley;
Center: Holmes.

Both Bagley and Holmes are tall men over 2 meters.

Moreover, among the tall men above 2 meters, the speed of the two of them is very fast, so this lineup guarantees both height and speed.

At this time, Wang Yi's eyes were fixed on Westbrook.

He has to find a way to beat Westbrook down first, so that the Kings have a chance of winning.

In this game, the commentators on the sidelines were Reggie Miller and O'Neal.

Reggie Miller shook his head when he saw the starting lineup.

"The Kings were already weak, but now that Barnes is not playing, the Kings' strength has weakened a bit."

O'Neill stared at the data on the tablet: "Let's see, yesterday's predicted probability of the Kings advancing was still 5.6%, but this time Barnes didn't play, the probability of the Kings advancing was updated again, only 3.2% .”

Reggie Miller also looked at the data and said: "Barnes is indeed a very important part of the Kings. Among the five starting players of the Kings, Barnes has the strongest defensive ability except Wang Yi. With him defending Anthony, Make Anthony impossible to shoot at all. And when he guards James, he is the best defense against James among the Kings' five starters."

"Although the rookie Dany who replaced him played very hard on defense, he was too thin. He couldn't defend James at all, and even defended Anthony very hard."

"For the Kings, this battle of Tianwangshan will be an extremely difficult game."

In a ward at Sacramento Central Hospital.

Barnes turned on the TV just in time.

Both brothers stared at the screen tightly.

When hearing the analysis of Reggie Miller and O'Neill, Bass' eyes flickered constantly.

His younger brother Chris Barnes said in a weak voice: "Brother, I delayed you and the Kings."

Barnes shook his head: "Don't worry, since Wang Yi reminded us to watch this game, we will definitely see a shocking performance."

Chris Barnes nodded slightly when he heard this.

……

At the same time, in China, Tencent NBA live broadcast room.

The female anchor of this game is still Mina, a diehard fan of James.

As long as there is a Lakers game, more than 70.00% of them are her anchors.

The other two male commentators, one is Ke Fan, and the other is Zhang Weiping.

Regarding Barnes not playing, Zhang Weiping also expressed concern on behalf of the Kings and Wang Yi: "If the Kings want to win this game, Wang Yi must score at least 50 points, and at the same time, the Kings' mad dog-style death attack must be maintained for a long time. But obviously now the Lakers have taken the Kings seriously. The Kings are going to be very, very tough to win."

While the two were analyzing, Mina interjected: "The number of viewers in the live broadcast room of this game has exceeded 1 million, and the peak number of people online at the same time is 2000 million!"

What is this concept?
During this period of the 17 Finals, the number of viewers in the Tencent NBA live broadcast room reached 1.75 million.

The peak online at the same time is 2000 million people.

This has set a record for the number of viewers on the global live broadcast platform.

And now it's just Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs.

And before the game started, the number of viewers had already exceeded 1 million.

It can be seen how much Huaxia fans attach importance to this game.

At the Staples Center, at 7:55 p.m., the game is about to start.

James is dusting chalk again.

Life should have a sense of ritual.

James' game is full of ritual.

Before each game, magnesium powder must be sprinkled.

In the past, when he sprinkled magnesium powder, other Lakers players would make funny movements next to James holding the camera to take pictures.

But today they don't.

Instead, they stared at James with serious expressions.

When James sprinkled magnesium powder, he didn't have too much exaggerated expression, he also had a serious expression.

This is enough to see that the Lakers attach great importance to the Kings today.

At 8:00 in the evening, the game between the two sides finally started.

All the players of the Kings formed a circle, raised their fists high, and roared two words.

"hope!"

"hope!"

"hope!"

For them, this is a battle of hope.

Not just the hope of their Kings, but also of Barnes' younger brother, Chris Barnes.

The moment Wang Yi stepped onto the court, the system's notification sounded again in his mind.
