Chapter five hundred and ninetieth one family

The four superstars, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant, are not only the money cows of their teams, but also the God of Wealth for all other NBA teams. According to statistics from the authoritative magazine "Sports Illustrated", when the Animal Brothers go to the away game, the ticket price for the away game will be twice the usual one! Kobe and James can also increase the price of away game tickets by 50%.

According to data from the US ticketing website, when the Los Angeles Clippers, where the Animal Brothers is, travels to the away game, the average price of the away ticket is twice that of other teams when they visit! The most expensive of these are naturally the showdown between Animal Brothers and James and Kobe, so I don’t know how much it will increase.

For example, in this game held at the Staples Center at the Clippers' home staple, the VIP seat ticket price exceeded $5,000, and even the seats in the most remote corner were more than $100. The team with the lowest average ticket price in the league was the Charlotte Hornets, whose average ticket price was $30, and their good position was less than $100. However, when the Animal Brothers drove, the Hornets' ticket also rose to more than $60, an increase of more than doubled.

The 32-year-old Kobe still enjoys super popularity. Wherever he goes, away tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers also rise. The average away tickets for the Lakers who challenge the Thunder, Bulls, Rockets and other strong opponents away are more than $70. The average ticket price of the NBA this season is only $50.

In addition, data also shows that the "old enemy" in the NBA is also a big selling point. In the "Los Angeles Derby" between the Lakers and the Clippers, the "New York Derby" between the Knicks and the Nets, and the "old enemy" such as the Cavaliers vs. Celtics, Spurs vs. Mavericks, Rockets vs. Jazz, etc., the ticket price also rose sharply. Among them, the "Los Angeles Derby" ticket price rose by 120%. The growth rate was the highest in the league.

Among the 30 NBA teams, only the Lakers and Clippers come from the same city. The two teams share the Staples Center Arena. Although they are teams in the same city, in order to compete for local fans and the support rate of TV broadcasts, the two teams have gradually become "dead enemies in the same city".

The abbreviation of the Lakers is Lal, and the abbreviation of the Clippers is lac. The Clippers' slogan this time directly calls themselves La, which is undoubtedly provoking the Lakers, satirizing their defeat in the derby game in the past two years, and emphasizing that they are the best team in Los Angeles.

The Clippers joined the league in 1970. During this period, they moved many times and were unable to get rid of the fate of a "bottom team". The team's best record in team history was not the first round of the playoffs. They have always been nicknamed "Los Angeles Team 2" by the outside world, and they can't hold their heads up in front of the Lakers.

However, in recent years, the feng shui has changed. After choosing the twin brothers, the Clippers have only taken two years to reach the last stop of the dynasty team. This time, the Clippers directly claimed to be a satirizing the Lakers' record in the last four derbys. In the first four Los Angeles derbys, the Lakers have lost the game. It can be said that since last season, the Lakers have been completely suppressed by the Clippers. This is an indisputable fact.

Ji Guoxiong shouted before the game that he wanted to give the Lakers five consecutive losses, and the Clippers will completely dominate Los Angeles from now on.

Magic Johnson said: "Before the game, the media has been exaggerating our old enemy relationship, but I don't think we are the old enemy relationship. Although the Clippers have been in a strong momentum in the past two years, they still have a lot of work to do. Los Angeles will always be 'purple and gold', and the Lakers are the main theme. The Clippers have more days to catch up. Only when they have 13 championship flags can they be qualified to become our old enemy."

Dunleavy, the old man said: "regardless of whether the Lakers admit it or not, even if the noble team temperament and profound cultural heritage of the Purple and Gold Army are unmatched, in a short period of time, the sky in Los Angeles belongs to the Clippers."

The Lakers have been following the Clippers this season, ranking in the Western Conference -

1, Los Angeles Clippers (31 wins and 0 losses)

2, San Antonio Spurs (22 wins and 9 losses)

3, Oklahoma City Thunder (17 wins and 15 losses)

4, Los Angeles Lakers (24 wins and 8 losses)

5, Dallas Mavericks (22 wins and 10 losses)

6, Phoenix Suns (19 wins and 12 losses)

7, Houston Rockets (19 wins and 13 losses)

8, New Orleans Hornets (18 wins and 14 losses)

9, Memphis Grizzlies (16 wins and 16 losses)

10, he Jazz (15 wins and 16 losses)

11, Portland Trail Blazers (15 wins and 16 losses)

Under the existing rules, the Lakers have only ranked fourth in the West despite the second record in the league. However, they themselves do not care much about rankings. The competition in the West has become more intense this year. Even if there is a confrontation between first and eighth, the gap is not too big.

The Clippers made the final arrangement in the locker room. Old Dunleavy emphasized before the team appeared: "The Lakers have balanced internal and external lines. They have no obvious weaknesses like us. If we want to defeat them, we can only reduce our mistakes and reduce the number of mistakes. We have to work hard to win every round. This is not a game that can easily determine the winner. One point or two points can determine who wins and who loses. Therefore, we must have enough wins. In the game, we must fight for every inch of land, otherwise we will lose."

"Don't worry, coach! There's nothing more exciting than defeating the Lakers. We will definitely compete with them for every ball right, and they don't want to stop us from winning 33 consecutive games."

Ji Guomeng said loudly in the locker room. This guy looked particularly excited. Both brothers were fighting players, especially this dead fox. The more important the game is, the more attention he paid to, the better his performance will be.

The Clippers appear, and today their starting lineup is: Billups, Avraro, Hill, Ji Guomo, Ji Guoqiu

The Lakers deliberately waited until the Clippers players finished their personal ceremony before they appeared. Today, the Lakers' starting lineup: Byron Davis, Kobe Bryant, Jamario Moon, Paul Gasol, Tyson Chandler.

"Young people, being too arrogant will be punished."

When Kobe and Ji Guomeng hugged before the game, they couldn't help but whisper, and it could be seen that although Peter Pan did not respond to Ji Guomeng's provocation before the game, they should have been furious in their hearts.

"You said that. I can only think you are old. I don't know how the Flying Man told you when you challenged Jordan?"

Ji Guomeng smiled slightly. Before the game started, he aroused the anger of Pan. This was a good start.

In the summer, in addition to renewing Odom, the Lakers also traded Jamario Moon from the Heat.

The small forward who has only entered the NBA at the age of 27 and has been lying in various low-level leagues has amazing athleticism and strong defensive enthusiasm. As he said himself, it took seven years to enter the NBA and he doesn't want to get a day with only one thousand dollars a week.

Moon made up for the vacancy after Ariza left to a certain extent. This 203cm swinger has first-class athletic ability and first-class defensive ability, which is very suitable for matching the current Lakers lineup. What the Purple and Gold Legion lacks now is not attacking ability, but defense.

The arrival of Tyson Chandler has actually enhanced the Lakers' overall strength. This season's boxing champions averaged 10 points, 10 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. The data cannot fully reflect Chandler's role. He uses his excellent assisted defense. His strong style of play has made the Lakers' inside defense second only to the Clippers in the league.

The second Los Angeles derby was held in the 2009-2010 season. Ji Guoqiu unexpectedly defeated Tyson Chandler, whose jumping ability began to decline.

At Staples Center, the "MVP" shouts are endless, but this time the target of fans is no longer Kobe, but the Clippers' animal inside.

The Clippers' first offense, Ji Guomeng started to catch the ball from the wing, and faced Gasol, and made a wonderful cross-change break through from the outside.

Gasol was prepared for Ji Guomeng's breakthrough, but his sister-in-law's steps were not as fast as Ji Guomeng. The latter did not encounter any obstacles. He dribbled to the low position near the right side and jumped up to the board and attacked...

"Swish!"

Gasol was one step slower and reached out to cover it in vain. Even if his long arm was more than 230cm, it would not affect Ji Guomeng's sight at this time, and the basketball was easily hit.

Charles Barkley sat in TNT's live broadcast room and smiled and said, "Kenny, you know, it's impossible for an orthodox fourth position to defend against this fox. If you want to defend against the fox, you must have the movement speed of the third position. In my impression, only Rodman and I can defend against this guy."

Kenny Smith was very disrespectful to Barkley, and did not answer positively, and directly spoke a series of names: "Elwin Hayes, Magician, LeBron, Garnett, McHale, Bosh, McDie, Dior, Odom... Forgive me for a moment that I can only think of so many people, and do you add them?"

Phil Jackson watched Ji Guomeng fight against Gasol twice in a row when he started the game. He frowned and waved to Moon to replace Ji Guomeng. The Zen master of course knew that Gasol would be very passive against Ji Guomeng, but he needed Gasol's ability to support him. If the Lakers want to win, Espanyol must be on the court.

Ji Guomeng felt very good after the opening. He hit his sister-in-law twice, so he naturally had to continue the third time. Even if the defender in front of him was replaced by Mun this time, he didn't plan to give up. Although he had no advantage in his steps this time, he had a height advantage again.

Moon's footsteps were very fast. He was nearly 10cm shorter than Ji Guowei, so of course he would not be unable to keep up. However, Ji Guowei is not a brainless reckless man, nor is he only has one offensive method. This time he changed his offensive moves, and after breaking through, he suddenly stopped and retreated, and jumped backwards...

"Swish!"

Ji Guomeng's shooting position was 15 feet away from the basket, which was too close to him. The basketball was hollowed out into the net, and the Fox brother scored 6 points in a row at the beginning.

The Clippers fans in the Staples Arena were shouting "mvp" and "mvp". Taylor Swift sat next to Nicholson frowning again. The sound of the two cheer sticks in his hand made the Lakers' number one fan very upset, his eyebrows twitched, and he cursed "small watch" in his heart!

The Lakers quickly counterattacked after serving. The Purple and Gold Army lost so many derby games and had much stronger psychological endurance. At this moment, they were lucky at that time and could not see the goal of the Dead Fox. Now the score is clearly 4:0, and the Lakers are leading.

Yes, that's it...

Gasol attacked Ji Guohuo at a low post, but after turning around, a wonderful pass came from behind.

Byron Davis caught the ball and cut into the basket, attracting the Clippers to defend the inside and then pass the outside, Kobe made a three-pointer shot from outside, and the Lakers took the lead by one point.

Ji Guomeng scored 6 points in a row at the beginning, while Kobe was even more ruthless, scoring 7 points in a row.

The Pan is not old yet. This season, they are low-key, but their desire for championships is unprecedentedly strong.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 15:16, and the two teams were talking about it. Of course, they were mainly about Ji Guomeng and Kobe. These two won most of the scores of their respective teams, and they competed at the beginning.

Ji Guohumiliation was at 6:05, and the first time he misplaced against Kobe. This was the first head-on battle between the old and new scoring champions today.

"You know, my goal is not Jordan at all, because I have never watched his game, and my goal has always been you." Ji Guomo's words stunned Kobe, and the little fox continued to laugh and said, "I say that, you should feel honored."

Kobe was attacking the side at this moment, and finally laughed out loud when he heard this: "Then let's try it!"

Panther witted two tentative steps, and wittyly landed his right foot in the position where Ji Guomeng planned to move, stuck his opponent's step point, and easily broke through to the penalty area. Then, a giant panda relied on assisting defense. The other hand of the dribble was pulled without making any traces, and the giant panda was stopped behind him.

Kobe scored to the penalty area line and got a fleeting opportunity. He stopped going deeper. He immediately threw a shot...

"Swish!"

Kobe's layup skills were shocking this time, and Staples Stay's Stadium was no longer in a state of movement. This breakthrough of Peter Pan is really beautiful. Why can he always break through the league's top defender effortlessly?

"Damn it, it's so cloudy!"

It has been more than once or twice since Ji Guomo was played like this by Kobe. The owner of the foothold was blocked by someone. If the landing point was not changed, it would definitely step on someone's feet, and he would be disabled even if he did not die.

"How did this guy make such a accurate judgment? Is he really not talented? I can't learn this trick."

Ji Guomeng had to sigh in his heart that Kobe was powerful. Some skills were really impossible to learn. Everyone was different from talent. Kobe's unique skill was an example. Just like Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps, you could not learn it even after taking the video. Even if you did it in training, you would not be able to use it in the competition.

"That's all, how can you be the first person in the league without one or two skills?"

Ji Guoqiu is not as fussy as him. Which player in their position doesn’t have a special skill?

The next attack by the Clippers, Ji Guoqiu attacked Chandler from the wing and turned around and made a shooting position, the latter unmoved.

Ji Guochou immediately made a fake act and made a jump shot...

The basketball draws an accurate arc and falls into the goal net! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
