203. A fierce battle
Such a fake news made Los Angeles fans very excited after hearing it... Although most people know that this is absolutely impossible, especially when Wu Dawei has a Los Angeles girlfriend. However, they will feel very happy to see the people they hate being so shamed. In their eyes, the fake becomes real.
"You two are really not?"
Kobe Bryant, sitting opposite the dining table, also stared at Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard sitting opposite him with a puzzled look.
The Cavaliers finally came to Los Angeles, so Kobe naturally wanted to invite Wu Dawei and the others to have lunch. Although they will become opponents in the evening, they are not even dark now, right?
"Of course not!"
Wu Dawei didn't know how many times he had answered such a question so indignantly today. He was just very unhappy, quite unhappy. Because Kobe looked at his eyes as if this was not false, but wanted to cover up the truth...
What the hell is this world!
"Hey, don't tell me, you believe these bullshits, Kobe!"
Kobe Bryant laughed when he heard this. Of course he didn't believe it, but seeing Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard were so anxious before the game began, he felt so funny.
"Yes, I know you were wronged! To be honest, I have to pray for you!"
"No need!" Wu Dawei shook his hand and said, "Just as long as you give us a victory tonight! My request is very simple!"
"That's absolutely impossible!"
When talking about the game, Kobe Bryant immediately became serious. His mentality of joking with Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard was immediately restrained by him.
He is such a serious person. If you are not fully prepared, it is still difficult to become friends with him.
"Just kidding, Kobe! Let's talk about this lunch!"
Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard had a lunch with Kobe Bryant, and at this time, he could not leave the news about their "coming out" because this is the thing that Los Angeles people are most talked about.
The meal ended. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard returned to the hotel where they stayed, but their mood did not improve because of Kobe Bryant's treat. However, they couldn't think too much at this time, because the competition was about to start in the evening. After returning to the hotel, they quickly returned to their respective rooms and prepared to take a nap to handle the evening games with full spirit.
This game was given too much off-court attention before it started. However, this would not affect the attention it received in the game itself, because the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Cleveland Cavaliers can also be regarded as a strong conversation.
Although the Los Angeles Lakers have been in a deteriorating form since two consecutive championships, they are still the top four teams in the Western Conference. Even the media that is least optimistic about them, they dare not easily rank the Los Angeles Lakers from the ranks of favorites to win the championship.
But what annoyed Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard was that even in the evening when the game was about to begin, when the reporters saw the two of them appear, the questions asked were not only about the upcoming game, but also about the groundless fake news...
I can't afford to be maliciously slandered.
While this made Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard feel angry, they also strengthened their idea of releasing themselves to the fullest in this game tonight and playing the Los Angeles Lakers.
The game started at 7 pm local time. This time period can be considered early. After the players arrived at the Staples Center Stay, they hurried into the locker room and then filled their stomachs with the things that had been prepared for the players in the locker room.
"Hey guys!"
The team's head coach Byron Scott soon joined the team in the locker room of the visiting team. The whole team attached great importance to this game. The Cleveland Cavaliers are still extremely eager to improve their ranking at the end of the regular season. Therefore, as the head coach, Byron Scott still has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
This game is one of the few games the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled to play in the last 11 games left. Other book friends are reading: Byron Scott naturally hopes that the team can win this game.
Although they are going to compete with the league's darling Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center Arena, the Los Angeles Lakers home court, this is not a reason for their timidity.
Scott's shouting made all the players focus on the head coach. Everyone looked at Scott standing in the middle of the locker room, and then the Cavaliers' head coach continued: "The importance of this game to us is self-evident. I think Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard must have felt the most deeply, right!?"
As soon as he came up, Byron Scott joked about Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard. Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard seemed a little embarrassed and glared at the head coach. Scott waved his hand and said, "Don't think wrongly, what I said must be different from what you think!"
Scott's explanation made this even more feel like there was no silver here. The players burst into laughter, and even Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard could only laugh helplessly.
After all, the people here are different from the people outside. As teammates, this is just a kind joke. In the current entertainment world, who can escape the role that will become a joke on one day?
So Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard were all helpless and did not feel anger. Everyone listened to the coach's training carefully. After joking, Byron Scott continued: "The opponent we will face tonight is a strong team in the Western Conference! They are a strong team. But we don't have to be afraid of them. Because they have lost to us this season, and the news that is more favorable to us is that their main center Andrew Bynum will still be absent tonight!"
"I will beat him up if I don't miss you!" Dwight Howard said dissatisfiedly while sitting in the chair.
"Oh! By the way, I forgot! We have the No. 1 center in the league! And I believe Dwight will use all his strength to beat the Los Angeles tonight!"
The locker room burst into laughter again, and Scott's jokes revitalized the relaxed atmosphere of the players before the game began. He continued: "I say this is not to take everyone lightly, but to let you know that we can beat them! But we must learn from Dwight and use all our strength to deal with them tonight! This is the Staples Center, and I am not trying to say how scary he is. But I want to remind you that maybe our opponents are not just five, but eight!"
"Coach, you're so funny!"
"Well said, coach!"
"Los Angeles people are Stern's good baby!"
Scott even joked with the referee, which made the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room extremely lively.
The players did not stay in the locker room for too long. Everyone ate snacks casually, then changed their clothes and ran out of the locker room.
Entering the Staples Center stadium, the warm-up training before the game once again made Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard feel embarrassed and even annoyed. Because Los Angeles people are endless, when Wu Dawei and Howard enter the Stadium with the team, the big screen of the stadium actually gave the two people a close-up.
At this sensitive moment, Los Angeles people naturally knew that this was teasing the two of them. The ridicule sounded very appropriately, making Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard feel as if there was something disgusting, like a thorn in their throat!
"Hey man, are you ready?"
Kobe Bryant also entered the Los Angeles Lakers, but unlike the treatment Wu Dawei received when he entered the court, what was greeted was not the boundless ridicule, but the uniform cheers of Los Angeles fans at Staples Center Arena.
Kobe walked straight to the center line and came to say hello to Wu Dawei.
"Of course! You're dead, Kobe!"
"Oh?!Is that so? Why!?"
"You can't let them shut up?!"
Wu Dawei said angrily, Kobe looked around after hearing this. Then he understood what Wu Dawei was saying. He also laughed and said, "Sorry, I can't do it!"
“That’s why!”
"Then it seems we have a fierce battle to fight!"
It was indeed a fierce battle, Wu Dawei thought to himself. A game that made him disgusted. At least before the start of this game, he had already been made by the fake news and was disgusted for the whole day!
Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard tried not to be influenced by these mocking voices, but Los Angeles fell into a kind of unreasonable population. Their mocking voices never stopped since the Cavaliers' training, until they played the American national anthem, and finally stopped.
In the face of the solemn national anthem, the Americans still seem very solemn. After the national anthem ends, the game will really kick off. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is a sure win game, and for the Los Angeles Lakers, they are basically in this position, so head coach McBrown has not had the requirements for this game as strict as the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Especially when their main center Andrew Bynum has not returned yet, McBrown has no full confidence in this game. After all, his opponent is the half-time champion of the first half of the season. Although he experienced a trough in March, their form is now steadily recovering.
The Cleveland Cavaliers still have not made any changes to their starting lineup. Even though Danny Green has performed well in recent times and the starting shooting guard Anthony Parker's performance is mediocre, head coach Byron Scott still decided to use the lineup he has used for a long time to deal with this game tonight.
As for the Los Angeles Lakers, Andrew Bynum's absence led to Paul Gasol being pushed to the center position by McBrown; in this way, their strength in the inside is obviously to be somewhat different from the inside of the Cavaliers, which has Andre Valaijo and Dwight Howard.
At least Paul Gasol, who has always been criticized for his weak style, is difficult to compete with Dwight Howard in the eyes of most people.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers did not make any adjustments to the lineup, they still changed their game tonight.
"Great, you go to defend Kobe Bryant tonight!" This is the biggest change for the Cavaliers tonight. Byron Scott decided not to let Anthony Parker take charge of defending Kobe Bryant, the biggest offensive threat in the Lakers.
The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers played against the Los Angeles Lakers made Byron Scott feel that Wu Dawei was obviously much better than Anthony Parker in charge of Kobe's defense. Although Kobe is about 5 cm shorter than Wu Dawei and weighs about 10 kilograms lighter, Wu Dawei did not appear bulky when he was responsible for defending Kobe Bryant, but he had many miraculous effects.
The starters began to take off their coats at this time, and then after the head coach gave them instructions, they walked onto the court one by one. At this time, the mockery of Los Angeles fans no longer resounded over the Chess Depps Center Arena. After all, the game was about to begin, and they did not want to mock the Cleveland Cavaliers' voices, which affected the Lakers players.
However, when Wu Dawei walked onto the court, the Lakers who were sitting on the sidelines were loyal. The actor Nicholson wore his big sunglasses and smiled knowingly at Wu Dawei, and then said to Wu Dawei: "Great, is your anus as big as the basket?"
Wu Dawei ignored this old guy and had only one idea about him, that is, if you have the chance, you will rush towards him and let him taste it, what is the taste of Mount Tai? At that time, this old guy will definitely be more miserable than a pig! (To be continued.
