Chapter 111 Zheng Long watching the "away game" (transition)
In Los Angeles Central Hospital, in a certain VIP ward, Zheng Long knocked on the TV in front of him with some annoyance. At this time, there were snow-white spots on the TV screen.

Damn, why is this TV broken?

Zheng Long, who is good at playing basketball, is not good at dealing with home appliances. After talking to the nurse through the service machine, Zheng Long decided to put some water first, so that he can watch the game with peace of mind later.

To be on the safe side, Zheng Long still chose to wear sunglasses and a peaked cap, together with a hospital gown. This outfit looked very strange no matter what.

Standing at the door of the ward were two security guards dressed in black who looked like stone carvings.

When Zheng Long passed a public ward, he heard cheers and heated discussions coming from it.

"Supporting the Lakers is not allowed here, they both won a season, and my Kings only won 31 games this season!"

After returning from the toilet, Zheng Long couldn't help being curious and walked into this public ward.

It's six cramped beds compared to your own VIP ward, but - they have a great TV with a huge screen!

And the game between the Lakers and the Kings is being broadcast on the TV. The game has just started 2 minutes ago, and the Kings are currently leading 7-6.

"Great job Caulistan, just hit like this! Tear the Lakers' defense like a beast!"

The sound is so attractive.

He was a gray-haired old man, but he was full of passion, and the other old men in the next bed obviously couldn't do anything about him.

Zheng Long decided to just stand and watch for a while.

Anyway, if I go back, the TV may not be repaired.

After this year's All-Star Game, the Kings, who finally couldn't stand it, packaged the star Cousins ​​and Omi Casspi together, traded them directly to the Pelicans, and traded from the Pelicans for Tyreke Evans , Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and 2017 first- and second-round picks.

The Pelicans formed the famous "Twin Towers" in the league, while the Kings completely changed a team.

In this game, their starting players are Hilde, Galloway, Evans, Skar Labissiere and Caulistan.

Of the 55 games Cousins ​​played in this game, the Kings won 23 of them. This record has almost missed the playoffs, and it is also the reason why the Kings gave up Cousins.

But in the 26 games after sending Cousins ​​away, the Kings only won 8 of them. This poor performance is second only to the Suns and Timberwolves. Their current record ranks third from the bottom in the West.

If Zheng Long hadn't been born in the Lakers this season, in the original history, this was the position of the Lakers.

Therefore, Zheng Long is really not too worried about today's game.

Although they are not there, Jimmy Butler and Jokic can easily lead the Lakers to win the Kings.

it should be no problem.

Today's TV commentary is very passionate.

"Hilde made a super long three-pointer!"

"He's very confident!"

"Go in! This goal is in! The Kings are 11 to 8 and regained the lead!"

Just when Zheng Long frowned, the old Kings fan in the ward was more enthusiastic than the commentator. He raised his arms high, "Goooood! Hilde is really good! The Kings next season is full of hope!"

Zheng Long was really surprised to meet a diehard Kings fan in Los Angeles.

But I have to admit that Hield played really well today. Like Ingram, he was a rookie last year. This is still his rookie season, but his performance was mediocre in the Pelicans. The Orioles traded him directly to the Kings.

As a result, after this kid came to the Kings, his shooting percentage increased by almost 10 points, and his three-point shooting percentage also reached 42.8%, becoming one of the main scoring players of the Kings today.

It seems that the Kings want to be "water ghosts" today?
At least it can be seen that Hilde's fighting spirit is full, and he can speak loudly to the media later, and the "Zouhe" brother who donates his house if he can't make it to the playoffs will really not let go of today's opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.

How many people hope that the Lakers can break the record of the Warriors today, and how many people hope that the Lakers will "roll over" after losing Zheng Long.

If Hilde really led the Kings to win the game today, he would become a "hero" in the eyes of many people!
"Boy, aren't you tired of standing there? Come here and watch the game with the old man and me."

Zheng Long didn't expect that the old man would take the initiative to say hello to him, seeing him enthusiastically pull up a chair, he naturally sat in it.

"Why are you dressed like this and wearing sunglasses, I know, you have a problem with your eyes"

Zheng Long: "."

"Which team do you support?"

Zheng Long: "."

"Okay, the boy is very shy and strikes! It's beautiful!"

Although the old man enthusiastically called Zheng Long to his side, he was quickly attracted by the game and ignored Zheng Long.

Zheng Long pushed the sunglasses silently. This position is indeed a better experience for watching the game.

Ok.

There is a feeling of watching an away game.

Damn, Butler is so tough today!

------

Staples Center, timeout, Lakers dugout.

Wharton was spitting at Nick Young.

"Cheer up, Nick Young, strengthen the press and enthusiasm, stay focused, watch your matchup, and don't give him an easy three-point shot again!"

The absence of Zheng Long gave Nick Young a chance to be ordered in a critical situation.

As Zheng Long's substitute this season, Ni Keyang has almost no chance to play. After all, Zheng Long is a man who can play a full 48 minutes.

The Lakers have even prepared how to send him away next season.

But now everything has changed, as the Lakers' starting shooting guard last season, Nick Ke Young has regained importance.

Because for the Lakers, they may need Nick Young to be the starting shooting guard next season, provided that he can withstand it.

Nick Young, who was ordered in danger, is in a very bad state today. His defensive ability has been criticized by others, but today he is in a hot state against Hilde, forcing Nick Young to pull the defensive range to a distance of two meters outside the three-point line. , For a player who is not very good at defense, this is a huge challenge.

Nick Young certainly knows that today is his best chance with the Lakers this season.

In fact, he has worked very hard to keep up with Hilder's speed, but the pick-and-roll tactics designed by the Kings against Hilder made it too difficult to defend Hilder.

Nick Young was silent.

Wharton didn't have anything better to do, he patted Nick Young on the shoulder and said everything without saying a word.

Without Zheng Long, this game is really difficult to play, even playing against the bottom three Kings is so difficult!

Without Zheng Long to attract the opposing team's defense, the other players of the Lakers are obviously a little uncomfortable with the increased defensive intensity.

Even Butler started to rattle. He was relatively strong at first, and Kings center Caulistan also acted like a god of war at the basket, knocking out the "Coke God of War" Jokic.

The Lakers players really wanted to win today.

But losing Zheng Long's game is much more difficult than they thought. And the Kings are brave today like the third in the West, not the third from the bottom.

------

"The Lakers' offensive and defensive performance in the first quarter was terrible!"

"Without Zheng Long, the Lakers seem to be unable to play."

"At the end of the first quarter, the Kings are 28 to 23 Lakers, leading by 5 points."

"For this result, the Lakers fans present are obviously not able to accept it!"

When the first quarter was over and the commentator was analyzing, the old man beside Zheng Long laughed out loud, with a satisfied expression on his face, "That's how the king and the boys should fight!"

Everyone has their own favorite team. The home team is different, but their positions are different, so Zheng Long can quite understand the joy of the old man.

Although, very unhappy.

"Hey boy, do you want to make a bet? The Kings will win the game today!"

The old man came to talk again.

"What are you gambling?"

"Hahaha, look! You must be a Lakers fan, I know it! Although you are wearing sunglasses, you have already turned blue from the performance of the Lakers."

"."

Zheng Long was speechless, this old man is too thieves.

"Just bet ten dollars, it's a small bet."

"no problem."

Zheng Long didn't believe that he would lose. He had never lost a bet with Butler, and he was a man who had won tens of thousands of dollars.

Moreover, Zheng Long really wanted to see the old man's frustration - but Zheng Long also knew that he was able to win the bet with Butler before because those things were destined to happen. is history.

But today's bet is different.

Today's game was the result of the butterfly effect after he appeared, so no matter whether he wins or loses, it is possible. Zheng Long just simply believes in his teammates!

On the TV, the second period begins
------

At the beginning of the second quarter, Walton dispatched a rotation lineup to buy time for the main players to rest.

The main players of the Lakers performed poorly today, but the performance of the rotation players cheered up the fans at the scene.

Ingram led the bench players to catch up.

"The flank Ingram used the breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, suddenly accelerated to the basket, and made a layup desperately!"

"The ball is in!"

"It also caused a foul by the opponent!"

"And One!!!"

"Corner catch from Ingram for a [-]-point shot!"

"Hands up and down with a knife, clean and neat!"

"The ball is in!"

"2 points difference!"

"The Lakers are closing in!"

"Ingram goes further in the middle distance!"

"He came off the bench and scored 8 points in a row!"

"Today Ingram is the savior of the Lakers!"

"If the Kings hadn't made that [-]-pointer just now, the Lakers would have tied the game."

"But now, the Lakers are still three points behind!"

Although the Lakers are still behind, Ingram's performance still ignited the Staples Arena, and the fans began to cheer, at least the morale of the Lakers is back!

------

"Damn it, Joe Geer should get out with Cousins. He can compete for the worst head coach in the history of the Kings! Such a big lead, just ruined!"

In the ward, the old man began to crazily output Kings coach Jogel.

In fact, Zheng Long would like to say that Ingram can play so well, how could Jogel know before the game that his defensive strategy against the starting players of the Lakers is already very good.

It seems that whether it is domestic or foreign, young or old fans, they all like to find out the head coach first when the team has problems.
"Boy, I know you want to laugh, you can laugh, but Ingram can't save the Lakers, he can't fight the Lakers by himself."

After the old man scolded our head coach, he didn't forget to output "opponent fans".

Zheng Long spread his hands helplessly, showing a smug smile.

Old man, you are in a hurry!

Soon, the situation was reversed. When the two sides started to play again, the Kings regained control of the initiative on the field.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, Hield led the Kings to a 10-2 spurt, locked the lead in double digits, and ended the first half of the game.

The Lakers fans who came to the scene all wanted to witness the Lakers creating the myth of 74 wins. No one wanted to see the Lakers fall behind.

Therefore, during the halftime game, when the camera kept switching and shifted to the faces of one fan after another, the Lakers fans really couldn't laugh.

It's okay not to cry in front of the camera.

And during this time, Zheng Long, who was staying outside the TV screen, would also be "attacked" by the old man!
"Why don't you give me the $10 in advance, boy!",

"You are lost!"

"Are you still holding some kind of fantasy? Then you should go to sleep, so that the Lakers will win in the dream."

Zheng Long had to admit it.

The old man's trash talk has been perfected, and his "offensiveness" has surpassed 90.00% of nine NBA players.

It is the traditional virtue of our nation not to confront the old man!
Zheng Long comforted himself like this.

Although I really want to make a phone call directly to the Lakers locker room, and call Butler and those boys to the phone to ask. Brother, what's going on today?

Your brother and my face are almost swollen from being slapped, can you give me some strength!
The third quarter began, and when the Lakers players returned to the court, the breath of hope returned to the arena.

"Defense!" (defense)

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

During the intermission, Walton further developed a new defensive strategy for the Kings' Hilde and Caulistan, who played well in this game.

And the Lakers starters, who lost a core ball-handling force, gradually found the rhythm of the game.

Hilde still played well in the third quarter, hit three more three-pointers, scored [-] points in a single quarter, and his personal score has reached [-] points.

But the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 2 points through hard work throughout the quarter.

The time on the court is passing by every minute and every second. When there is only one quarter left in the game and the score is still so anxious, many Lakers fans are too nervous to speak.

After a game.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Whether it's carnival or mourning, the dust will finally settle. At this time, Zheng Long in front of the TV also clenched his fists involuntarily.
