When the two sides were still warming up, the ESPN broadcast camera kept switching back and forth between Li Ang and Ma Long
The on-site reporters also interviewed Li Ang and Ma Long before the game, and mentioned the bloodshed between the two last season.
"Carl, against Leon today, will you still swing your iron elbow? The last time you fought, it seemed that you had a very unpleasant fight. Will this make you restrain your current behavior?"
"No, I have always played like this, and it will not change in the future. If the referee doesn't foul me, it can only mean that I didn't do it on purpose."
Just tell the reporter openly, you see, if I fight today, it will be over!
To be honest, Malone dares to say that in the current league.
If this is more than ten years later, I am afraid that he will be sent off the field if he cannot persist for half a game.
Don't look at Ma Long's many crimes, but the number of times he was punished is very small. Taking any one of these actions ten years later is enough for him to be suspended for half a year.
The reporter asked Li Ang again: "Li, what do you think of Carl's playing style? Do you think you are in the same category as him?"
"Carl is the mvp, and I'm just a rookie of the year. To say we're a class of players, it's a flattery. But in terms of playing style, I do appreciate Carl. And, I will definitely play against him in the game. The style echoes the above."
Li Ang and Ma Long have not concealed their affiliation, one is more horizontal than the other, and the word "fight" is revealed between the lines.
Stern was sweating profusely, praying in his heart that Malone would not break my cash cow!
The game is about to start, and countless Toronto fans are spitting trash at Malone.
The last time Li Ang and Malone played against each other, the battlefield was in Salt Lake City.
And when the two teams met in Toronto for the second time last season, Malone missed the game because his injury did not fully recover.
Today, Raptors fans finally found a chance to humiliate Malone.
As a veteran, Ma Long naturally doesn't care much about the fans' abuse.
He fixed his eyes on Li Ang, and the moment the referee kicked off, he rushed towards Li Ang impatiently.
Until coach Sloan yelled: "Defense, let's defend!"
Only then did Ma Long realize that he was playing basketball.
To be honest, Malone really wanted to invite Leon to wrestle in the wwe arena, just like he did to Rodman before.
But he and Rodman belonged to performances, and the two cooperated to please the audience.
And with Li Ang, Ma Long really wanted to use the wwe stage to have a real fight with him!
When I got excited just now, I used the basketball court as a ring.
Ma Long defended the basket, and Li Ang quickly leaned forward.
Sloan also looked at the Raptors' lineup and found that they hadn't changed. They were still the old combination of Jackson, Carter, Peterson, Leon and Oakley.
The old coach immediately relaxed his vigilance. Maybe Li Ang deliberately changed his warm-up method before the game, but it was just a smoke bomb put by Wilkens?
On the first offense of the Raptors, the ball was handed to Carter as always.
But as soon as he got the ball, Byron Russell, the Jazz's perimeter defensive gate, showed a disdainful smile:
"I have fought against the real Jordan, you are far from him, boy. None of you descendants of Jordan can do it, I can easily prevent you!"
Do Russell and Carter have any personal vendettas? No, he just likes to pretend to beep.
Russell, who entered the NBA in 1993, dared to say to Jordan, who retired for the first time at that time:
"Why did you retire? Because you know I can guard you. If I see you in track shorts, huh, I'll blow you up."
That's right, Russell said this to Jordan.
Then what? In the first game of the 1997 Finals, Jordan completed the lore on his head.
In Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, Jordan overwhelmed Russell and made the classic shot that established his second three-peat, making Malone miss the championship once again.
Jordan called this strange man "the essence of human cinema", and he did not mean to belittle Dominique Wilkins here. The reason why Jordan called him that is because Russell always appeared in his highlights.
How can this not be called the essence of human movies?
Russell can be called the number one background emperor in the nba in the 1990s.
But if you think that Russell will be an honest man after going through these things, you are very wrong.
Joe beforeBe regarded as one of the earliest 3D small forwards in the league.
? Although he has never been in the defense, the defense is really good.
However, no matter how good his defense is, he is still a swingman.
He can guard Jordan, but no one is stupid enough to use him against Barkley.
In terms of strength, Russell is completely unable to withstand a heavy striker like Li Ang.
"You throw him, throw him!" Ma Long watched anxiously from the other side, didn't you look like you just said something harsh? Why are you playing submissively now?
Laughing to death, when Russell speaks harshly, he can't live.
Li Ang didn't give this guy a chance to breathe, and sat back for the second time in a row.
This time, the penetration was more serious, and it hurt Russell.
"Ah~" he couldn't help moaning.
Seeing that the position was almost the same, Li Ang suddenly turned around and shot a jump shot!
?Because the strong side has been emptied, no one can help defend it.
And after Russell was rejected by Li Ang, it was difficult to interfere immediately.
Just like that, Li Ang easily scored the ball and evened the score again!
Wilkens waved his arm vigorously, and Li Ang did not let himself down!
The way he stole from the Mavericks to play against the Jazz was a great success!
Li Ang was very happy after scoring, so he couldn't help but say something nice: "Fuck, did you make a mistake? Are you really the starting forward in the NBA?"
Russell's psychological damage +100.
Seeing Li Ang take two points easily and turn around to leave, Stockton sighed.
He already knew that what Russell said had to be listened to in reverse.
He said he would let Li Ang bark, and he would definitely bark by himself in the end.
In fact, the Jazz have not discovered the mystery of this change, but Wilkens' Li Ang complement plan has begun to work!
Next, Wilkens believes that Leon will become a nightmare for the Jazz!
No. 1 in the West, there is no way to get out of Toronto alive!
It is impossible for Li Ang to make the Jazz lose by scoring.
