In the first game of the new season, the Lakers faced the Timberwolves.
The Lakers are no longer in power, Pau Gasol is gone, and only Kobe Bryant is left to support him. The Timberwolves have been rotten year after year, although there are many potential new stars inside, even with the assistance of the old wolf king Garnett who has returned to Minnesota, and the new wolf king Towns joined, it is still a weak team.
Originally, two weak teams collided, and there was nothing to see.
But because of the appearance of Kobe Bryant and Garnett, an old rival, the game attracted the attention of many fans. What's even more interesting is that in this game, there are also two rookies who have been in the limelight recently.
One is Anthony Downs, the top pick who beat Okafor.
There is another one, not long after joining the league, causing trouble everywhere, punching opponents on the field, beating teammates in the locker room, and ramming the team's top management, a super stinging player, and Ye Fei, a draft pick.
Before the game even started, it was fired.
When Downs was interviewed, he ignored Ye Fei's existence: "Ye, who is he? I don't know him, have you played in the NCAA before? I don't think a draft loser can be my opponent, after all, I am the champion." "
Beat Simonsey to become the champion, and his performances in both the summer league and preseason were good, which made Downs a little inflated. And his words quickly won the support of many fans, and many people asked Tang Si to teach Ye Fei a good lesson.
Watching the lively media is not a big deal, of course, I will not let go of this opportunity, and interviewed Ye Fei on this matter.
"There are a lot of parallel imports, it doesn't matter what others think of me, I will be on the field, let him know who I am, I will be his nightmare. "
Verbal battles have always been a tradition in the NBA. And the battle between the two rookies who have been in the limelight recently brought more highlights to this game.
However, it is obvious that few people will think that Ye Fei can defeat Tang Si, he is just a mouth cannon player.
"Ye, he can really brag, he is just a rookie, if it weren't for the recent beating incident, I wouldn't have paid attention to him, and he still wants to teach Anthony a lesson, he doesn't even deserve to lift the other party's shoes. "
"It's the rookie who can brag the most, just a failed draft, and it is a fool's dream to compare with other people's top shows. "
"Downs easily won two doubles in the preseason, what does Ye Fei have that can make others remember your capital?".
"Anthony, you're going to have to humiliate him in the game! "
"It's not certain whether you can play or not, but others remember you, who gave you the courage?
"Wait for Ye Fei to be beaten by Anthony, it's a pity that the two are not players in the same position, otherwise it will be interesting, I think if Ye Fei is against Downs, it is estimated that he will be completely blown up. "
"Do you guess Ye Fei, what data can you get tomorrow?2 points and a board?Haha, just him, he still wants to compete with Tang Si, it's just a dream?".
"Ye Fei is simply the number one troublemaker in the league, isn't this looking for a black spot for himself? What does he compare with Downs? He played two games in the preseason, how many points did he score, what data did he have, and didn't he have a B number in his heart?".
Not only the fans think so, but even today's game commentary, Ye Fei's supporter Barkley, thinks Ye Fei is useless.
"Big Mouth" Barkley said before the game: "I like Ye's personality, but he picked the wrong opponent, Anthony, not a player he can beat, but I'm looking forward to what kind of performance he will have on the court." "
Smith continued: "I don't know why you like a player like him, I think he plays too dirty, and he is so unruly, or we will make a bet today, do you guess Ye can get 10 points?".
Barkley replied, "Isn't it underestimating Ye?"
"I think 10 points are a bit much, 5 points, I don't think he can get it. "
Barkley continued, "Okay, what are you betting on this time?"
"I'd like to see you in women's clothing commentating on the game. "
Smith thinks that he has won, Ye Fei's offensive ability is to pick his feet, he will throw three points outside, and if he is lucky, he can throw a few.
But to shoot three points, it depends on whether his teammates give face, and his teammates don't feed Ye Fei, he doesn't even have a chance to shoot.
Smith asked, "Do you dare to bet?"
Barkley shook his head repeatedly: "Don't dare." "
With Ye Fei's offensive ability, he may not be able to score a single point.
No one is optimistic that Ye Fei will defeat Downs.
After all, after the game started, he sat on the bench, cheering on his teammates, and whether he could play or not was one thing.
The Lakers starters are the new stars in the backcourt, and this year's top picks Russell and Clarkson, plus Kobe, Randle and the veteran Hibbert, who just joined this year.
Although sitting at home, the team's boss Kobe Bryant returned from injury, but the Lakers were pressed and beaten by the Timberwolves as soon as they started.
"Little Prince" Prince, and Garnett, with the two top picks Towns and Wiggins, and "Golden Boy" Rubio, blasted the Lakers and played a wave of 13-2 offensive climax.
The Lakers' interior line is simply completely exploded, and today's Hibbert is not the god of the restricted area back then, and his old pace can't keep up with Downs at all, only 5 minutes into the opening game, and Downs has already scored 6 points on 3 of 3 shots.
Coach Scott was forced to make a substitution with a straight face: "Ye, you are on!".
His substitution adjustment made the fans who supported Ye Fei excited, but made the on-site commentators look confused.
Switching to a big center and sending a big forward is to give up the rhythm of the inside line?
Scott has no choice, Ye Fei has to have 15 minutes of playing time guarantee, it is better to let him play early, anyway, at the last critical moment, he will not use Ye Fei.
But he didn't expect that his substitution this time would have miraculous results.
The main reason for the Lakers' score is that the defense is not good, and if the opponent feels a little better, it is estimated that they have scored 20 points.
After the substitutions, the game continued.
The Lakers' offense was still handled by Kobe, who finally found his touch on the outside and hit a shot.
When it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Rubio handed the ball to Towns on the inside, and it was Ye Fei who switched defenses with Randle to defend him.
As soon as he saw that it was Ye Fei, Tang Si was energetic, just now Randall and Hibbert couldn't stand themselves, not to mention Ye Fei, who looked thinner than them.
Bang!
Downs slammed back hard, but found that he couldn't hit it at all, and he almost stumbled.
Again.
Bang!
Still couldn't hit it, several consecutive back hits were unsuccessful, Downs saw that there was not much time, turned over and threw a jumper.
Ye Fei had long expected that he would make such a move, so he took a step forward and jumped up at the right time.
Super Cap skill activated.
Splitting his head and covering his face is a big blood cap that fanned Downs' shot away.
