There were still a few hours before the Laker and Mavericks game.
However, the popularity of this game continued to rise because of Qin Rui's crazy performance in leading the team to complete a great reversal under the elegant fatal blow, as well as the urine test in the morning.
More and more fans were looking forward to the game between the Laker and the Mavericks, and they were looking forward to Qin Rui's performance.
Before the match.
At the TNT conference.
The four big names, Danny Smith, Amy Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Charles Barkley, were gathered together.
Today's topic.
Qin Rui: A flash in the pan or the return of the king?!
O'Neill habitually touched his bulging belly and said,""I think it's the return of the king. In 5 minutes and 20 seconds, he made 14 out of 14 shots. Finally, facing the defense of the three Spurs players, he completed the last shot and led the Los Angeles team to turn the tables.”
"Five minutes, a reversal of 24 points. Such a huge reversal has already created history.”
"Let's not talk about creating history now. Based on this data alone, if you say that Qin Rui doesn't have any ability and obtained it purely by luck, I don't believe it.”
Barkley, as one of the witnesses and commentators of that shocking game, agreed with O'Neill."There's no problem with the urine test results. Qin Rui scored based on his strength.”
"I disagree."
Amy John shook her head and said,""I think it was a flash in the pan. The Spurs didn't play seriously at that time, and Qin Rui just took advantage of the loophole.”
"With a lot of opportunities to shoot in the open, just like the mid-range during training, even the center's shooting rate is not low, let alone a forward.”
"With some luck, it's entirely possible to become Mr. Hundred percent.”
"Thinking back to last season, Qin Rui's terrible performance, combined with the two, I think it was just a flash in the pan. Maybe there was some improvement, but Qin Rui should have less than five points per game.”
Kenny Smith looked at the statistics of the last match between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Spurs and said,""That's right. Qin Rui might have improved, but he definitely won't be able to reach the level of the top scorer. He won't even have a crazy performance like hitting all 14 shots.”
"Haha!"
When Barkley heard that, he was immediately a little unhappy and retorted,"Not to mention Qin Rui's previous goals, the last four goals were all difficult goals against the defense.”
"The final shot, not only facing the three people defending, but also shooting elegantly. How can this kind of super difficult shooting be called daily training?!”
"In addition, Qin Rui not only attacked, but he also performed well on the defensive end, especially at the critical moment when he blocked Aldridge.”
"It's enough to show that Qin Rui has an extremely high defensive awareness.”
"This is definitely a big improvement. I don't know what Qin Rui experienced in the off-season, but I want to say that he has returned as a king this season.”
Two against two.
The four of them argued with each other, but they couldn't come to a conclusion for a while.
The audience and fans watching the forum were also struggling internally. They were wavering between the two sides. They did not know which side was right, so they were looking forward to tonight's game even more.
At that time.
Everything would be revealed.
Very quickly.
9:10 pm.
The Staples Center was filled with spectators 20 minutes before the start of the game.
In the studio at the back.
The commentators for this match were Amy Johnson and Kenny Smith.
"Amy, who do you think will win this game, the Los Angeles or the Mavericks?!”
asked Kenny Smith.
"In terms of the team's strength, the Mavericks have a higher chance of winning. Baines has been in very good shape recently. If he can maintain this, he might even be an All-Star this year.”
"Of course, on the side of the Laker, if it was last season's top scorer, Qin Rui, and his explosive performance in the last game, it would be a different story.”
Amy John replied.
"Indeed, we have talked about this topic enough in the afternoon. Now, we just have to wait for the match to begin. We will know who is right and who is wrong between us, Shaque, and Charles.”
The two of them livened up the atmosphere in the studio before the game.
Inside the arena.
The players of the Los Angeles Clippers and Mavericks were doing warm-up training on the court.
Nowitzki, the " German Chariot " and " Nowitzki the Heavenly King ", was still very popular. He was cheered by a lot of fans when he appeared.
He gave this old general with outstanding military achievements enough respect.
Pre-match interview.
Harris Baines was interviewed. The reporter asked,""Last night, Qin Rui scored 28 points with 14 shots. What do you think of Qin Rui's outburst?!”
"Uh..."
Baines put his hands on his waist and said," You know it's an outburst. Every player will have an outburst, so I don't think too much about it.”
The reporter nodded and continued to ask," What do you think you should do to win for the team tonight?!”
Baines rolled his eyes and smiled."Just take every attack seriously. If you have to do something, I was lucky to get a career-high 41 points in this stadium last season. I hope to break that score tonight.”
What did he mean?
Last season, Baines scored a career-high 41 points against Qin Rui.
The match had yet to begin.
Baines subtly threw trash talk to Qin Rui to show off.
"Eh ~~~"
Some of the audience members who understood what he meant also let out a series of sighs.
Trash talk.
It was a common occurrence in the NBA, and it could even be used as a tactic. Many historical superstars had once been experts at trash-talking.
Therefore…
Baines 'seemingly unemotional words were not inappropriate except for causing the home fans to sigh.
Of course.
Baines 'words were also related to his recent fiery state. Once a person became strong, they would more or less be a little arrogant and speak without thinking.
"Do you still want to score 41 points on my head?!”
Qin Rui, who had heard and remembered everything clearly, had a cold gleam in his eyes, and his face suddenly darkened.
The interview ended.
The starting lineup of both teams began to play.
Los Angeles. Starting lineup: Kentavios Cardwell Bopp (guard), Josh Hart (guard), Julius Randle (forward), Brandon Ingram (forward), Brook Lobes (center).
The starting lineup for the Mavericks was Dennis Smith Jr.(guard), Harrison Baines (forward), Wesley Matthew (forward), Dirk Nowitzki (forward), and Dwight Powell (center).
On the Los Angeles side, it was still the starting lineup from the previous game. Although Qin Rui was eye-catching in the last game, Warton did not put him in the starting lineup immediately.
Even though he felt that Qin Rui had undergone a qualitative transformation, he still had to consider the feelings of the other starting line-ups. He could not ruin the relationship in the locker room because of a position. That would be a greater loss.
The match began.
“jump、ball！”
The latter took the first step to send the ball flying. Smith received it and pushed forward. The Mavericks took the first attack of the game.
