NBA: Expansion becomes stronger

Rapidly growing stars, "The Great" Embiid, the two champions Simmons and Fultz, and the 23 million precision shooter JJ Redick.

The Lakers' match against the 76ers has a lot of popularity.

Pre-game.

As the two teams warmed up on the pitch, the atmosphere in the arena was lively.

A sharp-eyed reporter found that Duncan and Dior, two very popular players, came to the stadium to watch the game, and when he saw the heat, he immediately rushed to the two for an interview.

"Mr. Tim, Mr. Dior, are you also here to watch Embiid and the two champions put on a spectacular show?! "

The reporter asked with a smile.

Dio shook his head and said, "Tonight, I'm here to watch the Lakers' center, Chen Hao play!"

"Yes, we have no interest in Embiid, Chen Hao is the most shining protagonist tonight!".

Duncan stared at him and said earnestly.

Chen Hao?!

What an unfamiliar name.

The reporter was stunned for a while, but fortunately, the staff on the side urgently whispered to him, and the reporter suddenly realized, and then said in surprise: "Mr. Duncan, do you think that Chinese player who has just joined the Lakers will be even more dazzling than Embiid?!

".

"Of course!".

Duncan laughed, "I'll scare you later." "

“wow~~~"

"Since Mr. Duncan said so, then I should look forward to it. "

The reporter laughed.

Although I was amazed in my heart, I had temporarily imprinted the name Chen Hao in my memory.

This interview is live.

Countless viewers heard the word "Chen Hao" in Duncan's interview, and they were all curious for a while.

"Who is Chen Hao?!".

"Duncan actually said that Chen Hao is better than Embiid, is it really fake?!".

"It can't be, the Lakers have such a strong player?!".

"I think it's a gimmick, the Lakers don't have players who can come up with their hands, Ball and Fultz, Ingram and Simmons, the matchup between the two top-ranking players and the champion may be a big attraction, as for the result, it goes without saying. "

"yes. "

“......"

As for what Duncan and Dior said, many viewers just listened to it and didn't care.

TNT commentary room.

Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, two veteran commentators, commentated on tonight's game.

"Shaquille, which team do you think will win tonight, the 76ers or the Lakers?!".

Barkley asked.

"Of course Philadelphia won. "

O'Neill almost did not hesitate, "There is a big gap in the strength of the two teams, and the confrontation between Ball and Fultz may be a highlight, but the result of the game must be Philadelphia win." "

"Embiid's arrogant guy will give the Lakers a head shot in the restricted area. "

Barkley nodded, and then asked curiously: "Just Duncan has given a player named "Chen Hao" high expectations, do you think he can have a highlight performance?!".

"Chen Hao, a Chinese player, is 2.18 meters tall, weighs 135KG, and has an arm length of 2.37 meters. "

"There is only so much information about him at the moment, he is very tall, and his arm length of 2.37 meters is quite amazing, just ...... He is from China, and his strength and athleticism are certainly not very strong. "

"Tonight, he's not going to be outstanding!".

O'Neill checked the information and gave a rational and affirmative answer.

Barkley nodded again, and the answer, as expected, continued: "Let's look back at the arena, the Lakers vs. 76ers game is about to begin." "

on the field.

Both sides started to play.

Los Angeles Lakers starters: Lonzo Ball (guard) + Kentaveos Cardwell Pope (guard) + Kyle Kuzma (forward) + Brandon Ingram (forward) + Brook Lopez (center).

Philadelphia 76ers starters: J· J. Redick (Guard) + Ben Simmons (Guard) + Dario Saric (Forward) + Robert Covington (Forward) + Joel Embiid (Center).

Chen Hao did not start.

He lay leisurely on the bench, not showing the slightest interest in the situation on the court, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Some home fans, seeing this scene, glanced at Chen Hao in disgust, thinking that this kind of unenterprising water cooler player should get out of this league as soon as possible!

on the field.

The game begins.

Jumping ball stage.

Embiid jumped up at the same time as Lopez, Embiid's astonishing arm length and bounce made his arm faster than Lopez's palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Smack!".

Pick up basketball and win the first offense of the game for the 76ers.

Simmons holds the ball, whether it is facing Ingram or Ball, it is a tough impact on the basket to make damage, the offense is very tough, and it is also a continuation of the last game.

Hit again and again!

Half a quarter is almost the performance time of the champion Simmons alone.

Break through to make kills, scramble for rebounds, make wonderful passes and assists, you name it.

Simmons' template is Lebrand, and tonight ...... Almighty, he does have the shadow of Leblanc.

"Simmons rushed up and couldn't stop it. "

"For most of the quarter, he has 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, on the other hand, Ingram and Ball, the two of them combined are only 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and the difference between the top and the champion is very stark!".

Inside the rear studio.

O'Neill looked at the data and shook his head slightly.

Barkley pointed to the table: "Simmons, who has returned from injury, is going for the best rookie this season, and it is normal for Ball and Ingram to have a gap with him." "

on the field.

Lakers (14) :(24) 76ers.

For most of the quarter, Simmons' excellent play helped the team establish a 10-point advantage early, and the Lakers called a timeout, and Coach Brett Brown replaced Simmons and put 1.93-meter guard Fultz on the court.

On the Lakers' side.

Also rotated on 2 substitutes.

This year's champion Fultz, who came on the court in the last 3 minutes and 15 seconds of the first quarter, broke through Ball in the first attack, hit a mid-range shot to score, and then took advantage of his hand to face Ingram's defense and hit a 3-pointer again.

"Whew!".

Heart-piercing hits!

scored 5 points in a row and directly stretched the difference to 15 points.

First section.

The two champions of the 76ers felt explosive, and they only had the meaning of taking the game away in the first quarter.

Fortunately, Kuzma scored two consecutive goals at the end of the first quarter to maintain the difference at 12 points.

Internode breaks.

Wharton walked up to Chen Hao and said, "Chen Hao, it's time for you to play in the second quarter." "

"Is it my turn?!".

Chen Hao sat up with sleepy eyes, "Next time, don't make me wait so long." "

Wharton paused for a moment, then said, "Beware of Embiid, Simmons and Fultz, they are all in good shape tonight." "

"Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, whoever he is, it's all over and it's over. "

Chen Hao waved his hand, not caring.

"This guy ......".

Seeing Chen Hao's swelling appearance, Coach Wharton frowned slightly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
