NBA: The Beast Rise

Chapter 38

The game was about to start, and the TV camera was on Howard, who was being interviewed before the game.

"A lot of people might be hoping that the crown can continue to play at a dominant level, but sorry, tonight, you're all going to be disappointed. "

"I'm the main character!!".

Howard is usually an optimist, and he rarely speaks harshly to people in games.

So today's unexpected performance also surprised the reporter very much.

"You're saying you're going to blow the crown tonight, aren't you?"

The reporter also amplified Howard's meaning for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

"That's right, I heard that he's very good at dunking, and he dunks all kinds of people in the game."

"But you know, I'm different from everyone else, I've won the Defensive Player of the Year three times, and against my defense, don't even think about a dunk!"

"That's all I have to say, I'm going to show you the gap between him and me!".

The more Howard talked, the happier he became, and the more he talked, the bigger he talked.

He watched the Los Angeles media praise the crown in various ways, and he was already very unhappy.

When I first came to the Lakers, the media was very harsh on me, but if I performed averagely, I would attract all kinds of ridicule.

So seeing the media touting the crown made him very unhappy, and he had long made up his mind to make the crown look good, and let the crown taste the fickleness of the media.

Howard's remarks also caused displeasure among Lakers fans at the scene.

"Howard, you soft egg, deserter! How dare you say that the crown can't dunk the basket?"

"When did Warcraft Howard become so arrogant? Why didn't you harden yourself when you were with the Lakers?"

"Wait, Howard, the crown will blow you up, and you'll regret it!".

Because of Howard's pre-game interview, the Lakers fans at the scene booed him without hesitation.

At this time, Harden, who was standing next to Howard, also answered.

"The physical quality of Wang Mian is indeed very good, but his offensive skills are too rough, so he can't go far in this era. "

"It's just a matter of swiping the data against the center of the fish belly team, and we won this game. "

Harden was also very unkind in his words because of the weekly competition with the crown.

"WOW, we can see that Harden and Dwight are very strong today. "

"This game is good, Kobe + crown vs. Harden + Horford, both teams are a combination of scoring guard + super center. "

"From the perspective of the lineup, the Rockets have to have an advantage, after all, Kobe Bryant is no longer in his prime. "

"But the Lakers have the X-factor of the crown, and I'm sure it's going to burst out with amazing energy!".

Due to the strength of Howard and Harden's pre-game interviews, the two commentators were also excited, and they both knew that this game was going to be good.

Harden + Howard, which is now the league's No. 1 interior and exterior combination, is completely different from the Lakers' previous opponents.

"Boss, did you hear what Dwight just said? "

When the team was warming up, Llarinance Jr. walked to the side of the crown and was very angry.

Wang Mian smiled and didn't say much.

He has little interest in this kind of mouth cannon before the game.

Anyway, after the game, they all have to be slapped in the face by themselves, and now the bigger the blow, the harder the face slap after the game.

Nance Jr. was relieved to see that the crown was not affected by the Howard and Harden interviews.

is worthy of being his boss, even a super center like Howard is not taken seriously by him.

"Dwight just said that you won't be able to dunk a basket in this game, boss, you must dunk him on the head in a while!" Nance Jr. was still very upset when he thought of Howard's contempt for the crown.

"EASY, GAME, NO ONE CAN STOP ME IF I WANT!".

After speaking, Wang Mian grabbed a basketball, jumped high, and clasped his hands violently!

The basket trembled with the crown's dunk!

As the warm-up ended, the Lakers began their entrance ceremony to the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

Today's entrance ceremony was a little different, in the first home game of the season, the crown was the first player to play, and Kobe Bryant was the last player to enter.

But today was different, Wang Mian was scheduled to be the last to appear today due to his outstanding performance.

Of course, Kobe Bryant did not have any dissatisfaction, because this was his own request, and Kobe Bryant has begun to deliberately cultivate a new successor to the Lakers.

The fans in the stadium erupted in deafening cheers as the crown finally appeared.

The crown brought hope to Lakers fans for revival, and at this time, they were all cheering for the crown.

"Humph!".

Howard on the Rocket's side snorted coldly.

I think he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment when he was with the Lakers.

As the referee signaled, the starters of both sides took to the pitch one after another.

On the Lakers' side, it's still the same as the previous regular lineup.

Point guard: Avery Bradley.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Small forward: Nick Young.

Power forward: Llarynance Jr.

Center: Wang Mian.

And on the Rockets' side, it is.

Point guard: Patrick Beverley.

Shooting guard: James Harden.

Small forward: Trevor Ariza.

Power forward: Motel Younas.

Center: Dwight Howard.

Just from the lineup on paper, the Rockets' starters are very tough.

Beverley and Ariza are both defensive stalwarts and have a three-point shot that could open up space for Howard and Harden.

Coupled with Harden and Howard's top interior and exterior combination, it is a first-class powerhouse in the league no matter how you look at it.

The Lakers' starters were much worse.

Bradley defends well, but lacks the ability to attack on his own.

Kobe Bryant is older, and it's hard to stay in shape for a long time.

Nick Young is offensive and undefending, and Nance Jr. is a rookie with little experience.

Therefore, if the Lakers want to win, they can only rely on the excellent performance of the crown.

As the referee tossed the basketball into the air, Wang Mian and Howard jumped at the same time.

Howard's bounce ability used to be the No. 1 on the inside, and he would have been confident jumping off this basketball.

“PENG！！"

But the terrifying speed of the crown allowed him to touch the basketball first, and slammed the ball into Bradley's hand.
