As usual, today's group confrontation is also divided into starting group and substitute group.

Nick Young was assigned to the starting lineup.

The last time he played the Raptors, his two mistakes almost ruined the game, but Scott still praised his performance throughout the game after the game.

After the group confrontation, Scott held a players meeting, at which it was officially determined that Nick Young would be the starting No. 2 position.

At that time, he will directly face Klay Thompson of the Warriors.

Half past six in the evening.

Staples Center Arena.

Accompanied by the warm cheers of the home fans, the Lakers players trotted all the way from the tunnel to the court.

As Lin Tian ran toward the court, he stretched out his hands and gave high-fives to the spectators on both sides.

Not long after the pre-game training started, Kobe, wearing a crisp suit, also appeared on the bench.

Everyone had already known that Kobe would not be on the court today. There was almost no boo at the scene, and there were only applause and cheers for Kobe.

In his twenty-year career, Kobe dedicated his youth to the Lakers.

Now in the last season of his career, Lakers fans have nothing but respect for him.

Nick Young on the court was shooting a three-pointer while sighing to Lin Tian: "It still feels better to be at Staples! Lin! I will beat Thompson tonight!"

In terms of one-on-one ability, Nick Young is really not afraid of Klay Thompson at all. His dribbling level is even better than Thompson.

But Thompson's defense is much better than Nick Young's.

What's more, Thompson was a starting All-Star last season and was selected to the All-NBA third team.

Even this season, Thompson was recently selected to the All-Star bench.

Lin Tian smiled bitterly and said: "Nick, don't brag too much, I feel like you will be unable to guard against him."

"Who said that?" Nick Young suddenly became unhappy, "Lin, pass the ball to me more in the first quarter, and I'll show you what a real offense is."

"Then I'll discuss it with the coach. Does he want me to pass the ball to you more?"

"What should I tell the coach about such a trivial matter? You are the brains of the team now. The ball is in your hands. Just feed me the ball more."

"We'll see what happens then." Lin Tian casually dealt with it with a haha, secretly thinking that Nick Young was really thick-skinned.

While the two were talking, Howard next to him also practiced three-point shooting, which made Lin Tian feel dizzy.

More than ten minutes later, Warriors players also ran out of the tunnel on the other side.

The leader was Stephen Curry. He ran to the court, caught a ball, ran back to the bench, and shot a "super long three-pointer."

The ball was actually hit by him, which caused bursts of exclamations from the audience.

After scoring the goal, Curry excitedly walked towards the Lakers half court.

Kobe was the first to stand up and give Curry a high-five and a hug, and the cameras of the media reporters quickly followed.

The two of them chatted quietly, with smiles on their faces.

Lin Tian also walked over to greet the Warriors players.

When high-fiving Dream Chaser Green, Green smiled crookedly and said, "You are very popular in China these days!"

"No, no, no!" Lin Tian shook his head, "Compared to the Warriors, I'm still far behind."

Green continued: "I heard that you still want to make the playoffs? Don't think too much, man, we will give you a big defeat today and put out the fire for you."

He has never been a kind person, even in the greeting session before the game, his words were full of gunpowder.

Lin Tian just grinned: "Really? Who doesn't know how to talk? We will end your nine-game winning streak today!"

The Warriors are currently experiencing a terrifying nine-game winning streak, with a record of 43 wins and 4 losses, which only the Spurs can match in the league.

"Haha! Let's wait and see! If you get beaten up then, don't secretly wipe your tears!"

After Green finished speaking, he and Andrew Bogut, who was standing next to him, laughed loudly. Bogut even clenched his hands into fists and put them in front of his eyes to make a crying face.

Lin Tian had long heard that Green was a good trash talker, and it was indeed extraordinary when he saw him today.

As for the action Bogut made, it was very hateful.

Lin Tian said directly: "If you play cleaner, your record will not be much different from ours, right?"

After saying these words, Dream Chaser Green was about to charge over like an angry bull.

Howard, who was a bit bigger than Green, quickly stood in front of Lin Tian and stared at Green condescendingly: "Man, what do you want to do?"

The media reporters at the scene, like sharks that smelled blood, quickly focused their cameras on Green and Lin Tian.

They didn't expect that the most harmonious pre-match greeting ceremony would almost lead to a fight. This was big news!

Green was more than half shorter than Howard. Facing the taller Howard, he calmed down and pointed at Lin Tian: "I will make you pay the price!"

Lin Tian didn't like him very much and said casually: "Before you make me pay the price, I will make you pay the price!"

His words quoted the "Green's formula" from the previous life.

The "Green's formula" here is not Green's formula in mathematics, but comes from what Green said to Durant in his previous life: "Before you joined us, we were already the championship!"

After this sentence was exposed at the time, it was called NBA earthquake-level news.

Even after Durant later left the Warriors, he bluntly stated in an interview with the media that his departure had a certain relationship with what Green said, which shows the huge impact.

Because it was so famous, "Green's formula" later became a meme. The sentence structure is roughly: before...,... then...

In this life, the famous "Green Formula" has not yet appeared, because Durant has still joined the Warriors.

Naturally, Green didn't know this. He just thought it was Lin Tian's harsh words and took Bogut and the others back to their bench angrily.

Inside the NBA studio.

Barkley and Smith are counting down the Warriors' dazzling record this season.

This is a game that is broadcast live across the United States, and the attention it receives is unmatched by other teams.

The Lakers and Warriors, one is a super wealthy team with extremely rich family backgrounds, and the other can be regarded as a rising star.

As the Warriors won the championship last season, they attracted a large wave of fans, and their popularity is unparalleled.

Moreover, the Warriors' game-changing style of play has also given them a large number of fans around the world.

Barkley said bluntly: "This is the last time the Warriors visit the Staples Center this season! Will they succeed in winning ten consecutive games?"

Smith, who was sitting next to him, suddenly opened his mouth: "Charles, I hope you take back what you just said, Staples is more than just a Laker..."

"Huh?" Barkley then reacted, and he sneered, "I apologize to all the Clippers players and fans! I didn't know if you had any games against the Warriors this season."

As he said this, there was no trace of apology on Buckley's face.

Not just him, many people don't know that the Staples Center is not the exclusive arena of the Lakers, or even belongs to the Lakers.

Smith changed the topic: "When Dream Green was greeting the Lakers players just now, he seemed to talk some trash and almost got physical."

Barkley was convinced: "It's time to talk some trash! Playing basketball is not a woman's sport! The style of play has been too soft in recent seasons! But I don't know what the young man from China said to Chasing Dreams.

The dream is so angry."

"Dream Chase looks reckless, but he's actually very smart. When he saw Howard, who was taller than him, he was obviously intimidated, haha!"

…

Penguin Sports Live Room.

Today's game was promoted by Penguin Sports Live a week ago, and a short video was even edited for advertising.

Judging from the fact that the popularity of the live broadcast room has reached 20 million before the game even started, this wave of advertising has obviously worked.

At the same time, the Trail Blazers and Suns were already playing a game, but the popularity was only a pitiful 1 million...

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room is much higher than that of ordinary NBA games.

"Damn it! There's almost a fight before the game even starts? This is so exciting! It's even more exciting than the game!"

"Ah! The cute god Curry! It's so cute! I like it so much!"

"Today I want to see Lin Tian beat up a primary school student! Hahaha!"

"What did Lin Tian say that made Dream Green so excited? He didn't mean that he played dirty, right?"

"I have always been a fan of the Warriors, but since Lin Tian joined the Lakers, I have become a die-hard Lakers fan! Come on, Lakers!"

"Brothers! It's time to shout out that slogan! Get the formation together: Lakers championship!"

"Come on! Go for it! Lakers championship!"

"The Lakers' recent record is the most regular! They have never won against a championship-level team, and they have never lost against other teams! So I bet on the Lakers losing today!"
Chapter completed!
