Chapter 188 The Magician’s Perspective

Because this game involves the top spot in the Western Conference, and Lu Yusheng is currently very popular, it is broadcast live across the United States.

The media responsible for broadcasting this game is ESPN, and the commentator is their gold medal host James Daniel.

As the commentator for this game, it is Magic Johnson, a famous player from the Lakers.

"Hello Magic, I'm glad to be able to explain this game with you today. Would you like to say hello to the fans in front of the TV first?" Daniel said.

"Hello NBA fans, although you may not be happy to see me, I'm sorry, but you still have to listen to me talk about this game." Magic said with a smile.

"Why do you say that?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"It's like this Daniel, I have commented on a lot of games this season, so I think people don't want to see me nagging here."

"No way," Daniel said. "Believe me, absolutely not. Whether it is as a fan or as a commentator, I like your commentary style very much.

The tactical insight is extremely high, and he can explain it to us in a language that laymen like us can understand. This is the best explanation."

"Oh, Daniel, don't praise me so much, otherwise I might have to commentate on more games." The magician laughed.

"Really, it's not an exaggeration at all. Magician, you are a businessman. You must understand the market. If your commentary is really not liked by everyone, believe me, you will not receive so many commentary invitations." Daniel

said.

Magic smiled and said, "Thank you, you are the most eloquent reporter at ESPN."

"Thank you too, but Magic, I seem to have discovered something unusual." Daniel said.

"What's up?"

"You have commented on so many games this season, why don't you seem to comment on any Lakers games? Is this normal? You are the best player in the history of the Lakers!"

Magic laughed, "Actually, I don't know what happened. They didn't invite me to broadcast any of the Lakers games. There was only one game where they invited me in advance, the one against the Heat, but

It was true that I had something to do and couldn't leave that game, and they really didn't invite me to other games."

"So for this game, we made the right invitation," Daniel said. "It is our best choice to invite guests to ESPN. First of all, this game is a Lakers game. As the best player in the history of the Lakers, it is most suitable.

Well, secondly, the two main focuses of this game, Lu Yusheng and Chris Paul, are both point guards, and you, as the best point guard in history, are the most qualified to judge their performance, so this game

, if other guests are invited, I will definitely go back and blow up the ESPN building." Daniel laughed.

Magic also laughed, "No, no, no, Daniel, although I am very happy what you said, I still have to correct you on two points. First, I dare not say that I am the best in the history of the Lakers. After all, I still have

There are players like Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and now there are rising stars like Kobe behind him, so I never dare to call myself the best in Lakers history."

Daniel frowned, "You are the best in Lakers history. This is basically universally recognized, right?"

Magic shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, I can't explain this. I can only say that I am one of the best players in the history of the Lakers. If I have to say who is the best player in the history of the Lakers, I think Kobe Bryant is the best player in the history of the Lakers."

Have the opportunity."

"Oh? Why? He just brought three championships to the Lakers, and you have five." Daniel said.

"He is still young and still at his peak. In his current state, as long as he is given a decent helper, I think he can still win many championships for the Lakers and surpass me. It is only a matter of time. Not only will he surpass me,

He will definitely surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the others and become the best in Lakers history."

"You really think highly of Kobe," Daniel said.

"I think he is the most talented player after Michael and the player who is most like Michael," Magic said.

"What about LeBron?" Daniel asked, "You know, a lot of media have been discussing recently, whether Kobe is better or LeBron is better."

"How should I put it? They are two players with completely different styles. I just said that Kobe is more like Jordan. I mean not only in terms of technical movements, but the most important thing is in terms of mentality and the way he plays. He is really

He is very similar to Michael, and LeBron, who came from Cliff, I think he is more like me. Like me, he is the kind of person who likes to drive teammates, get everyone involved, and let everyone get involved.

We all enjoy the style of the game, and we also all enjoy the feeling of creating opportunities for our teammates.

As for who you say is better, I really can’t comment on this. After all, their styles are completely different, but they all have only one purpose, which is to lead the team to win the game. If I have to say who is better at the moment, then I still think Kobe Bryant.

, after all, he already has three championship rings, of course LeBron is still young, and he still has many possibilities in the future, all of which are hard to say." Magic said.

"The magician's view is indeed unique, and it seems that no one can be offended." Daniel smiled, "But this comparison is indeed not conclusive. Of course, what I want to ask you most is not about Kobe.

The comparison to LeBron is about how you feel about the other guy."

The magician smiled and said, "Are you talking about Lu Yusheng?"

"Of course, I feel that he is the most popular in the entire league right now. His popularity seems to have become an NBA phenomenon. No matter which media you go to, you can see reports about him."

Daniel said, "Magic, what I want to ask you is, do you think this phenomenon is a bit too hyped, or is it because our league has not had a point guard like you for too long. After all, we all

Everyone knows that as a rookie, you helped the Lakers win the championship in your first year in the league, and you yourself also won the Finals MVP. Indeed, we have not had such a phenomenal rookie who immediately caused a sensation as soon as he entered the league.

seen."

The magician pondered for a moment and said, "That's right. Let me tell you my opinion first. You just said that Lu Yusheng's current exaggerated popularity is due to hype, but I don't think so. Judging from his current performance, he is absolutely

We are worthy of this kind of popularity. We are a business alliance. With such a phenomenal rookie, shouldn’t we have such popularity?”

Daniel nodded, "When you say that, it seems to be true."

"Yes, and I have to correct your other statement. In fact, Lu Yusheng is indeed a phenomenal point guard. The reason why he is so popular is not that we have not seen such a phenomenal point guard for a long time, but that we

There has never been a point guard of this caliber in the history of the NBA," Magic said.

Daniel looked shocked, "Are you sure? Don't you even count?"

"Oh, Daniel, I entered the league as a rookie, won the championship with the team, and won the FMVP. I admit, this is indeed something that has always made me proud, but if you think about it, in fact I

The situation is completely different from Lu Yusheng’s. The reason why many stars failed to accomplish this as rookies is not because they are not strong enough, but because they do not have as good conditions as me. When I entered the Lakers, the Lakers were a strong team, and

We also have guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy on the team, so I was able to win the championship in my rookie season because the Lakers were already very strong at the time."

"So you think Lu Yusheng's situation is completely different from yours?"

"Of course, everyone knows the level of the Lakers last season. Although everyone worked hard, strength does not mean that your hard work is enough. If Kobe was not at his peak, the Lakers would definitely not be the best team in the season.

The playoff team." Magic Johnson said, "This offseason, the Lakers did not have any effective signings. Under such circumstances, the addition of Lu Yusheng made the Lakers immediately become a strong team in the Western Conference and sit in the top spot.

To be No. 1 in the Western Conference, you must know that although the Lakers still have Kobe, Kobe has missed several games this season. For a rookie to lead the Lakers to achieve such an achievement, I think it is much more difficult than it was for me at the time."

said the magician.

"Oh, Magician, I really didn't expect that you had such a high opinion of him. In fact, although I also admire Lu Yusheng, I never thought of comparing him with your feats back then."

"That's because you only saw the results and didn't pay attention to the process," Magic said. "Lu Yusheng led such a Lakers team to be first in the Western Conference, especially after defeating the Heat and Suns last season.

They are powerful and almost defeated the Spurs. Only the person leading the team can understand how powerful this kind of difficulty is. Just like when I was chatting with Jerry West a few days ago, even he said that he had never seen it before.

Such a talented point guard."

"Really? Even Jerry West said that?"

"Of course, you can call him now to confirm this," the magician said seriously.

"Oh, it's unbelievable," Daniel said. "Previously, the Zen Master said that Lu Yusheng's talent reminded him of Michael Jordan when he first entered the league, which caused an uproar. I also thought that the Zen Master was a bit deliberately hyped, but now I hear you say this

It seems that he is not hyping it up, but really thinks so."

"Of course, Phil certainly understands football," Magic said. "I'm not surprised that he has such a view. In fact, if you ask Michael now, I guess he will have the same view.

point of view."

Daniel found it even more incredible, "Do you think... Do you think Lu is more talented than Chris Paul?"

"I can't say this. After all, Chris Paul is indeed one of the better point guards in the league. The New Orleans Hornets also started to rise because of his arrival. His future is also unlimited. I can only say that at least

His performance in his rookie season was indeed not as sharp as Lu Yusheng's," Magic said.

"Then do you think, between Lu Yusheng and Chris Paul, who can lead the team to win tonight's game?" Daniel asked.

Magic smiled, "Man, it's hard to predict. After all, the Lakers and Hornets are both in good shape now. One is first in the Western Conference and the other is second in the Western Conference. It's really difficult to predict, but I can only say that the players of the Hornets

The overall strength is indeed stronger than the Lakers."

"The starting lineup of the Lakers is out. We see that Lu Yusheng still does not appear in the starting lineup. Magic, I have never understood this issue. Now everyone knows that except Kobe, Lu Yusheng is the leader of this Lakers.

Why doesn't Jackson keep him in the starting lineup?" Daniel asked.

"I think this is probably Zen Master's protection for Lu Yusheng. After all, Kobe can't play. Lu Yusheng is the backbone of this Lakers, and he needs more physical strength."

Daniel nodded, "When you say that, I understand."

Game start!

Lu Yusheng still sat on the sidelines and watched the game.

He knew very well that without Kobe and himself, the Lakers' starting lineup might not last long.

But what I didn't expect was that the Hornets didn't feel very good tonight.

In the middle of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 14:18, and the Lakers were only four points behind.

During the timeout, Zen Master still had no intention of going to Lu Yusheng.

The strategy is the same as the previous one, try to buy time for Lu Yusheng, because if you want to win this game, you must rely on Lu Yusheng later, and he must have sufficient physical strength to fight the decisive moment.
