Two days later.
The team took a private plane to Salt Lake City, USA, and headed to the Energy Solution Arena, the home stadium of the utah knight.
Even though the Los Angeles Clippers rested for two days and recovered a little physically, they were still not at their best. This was the third away game for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Running back and forth.
His stamina and condition would eventually drop by a level.
This was the drawback of consecutive away games. Of course, this drawback was not unique to the Los Angeles team. Under the schedule, every team had such a difficult schedule.
And tonight.
It would be even more difficult for the Los Angeles Clippers to win against the Knights.
Why?
Firstly, he was lacking in stamina and condition for consecutive away matches.
Secondly, Salt Lake City was located on a plateau with an altitude of more than 1300 meters. It was not exaggerated to say that altitude sickness was high, but the air pressure at the plateau was low. It was common for the Laker players who did not stay often to experience occasional oxygen deficiency.
But this had a huge impact on the competition.
Some players who were really not used to it would even experience fatigue and chest tightness, which would undoubtedly cause the player's game condition to decline.
And the most important thing was…
The unity of the home fans of the Knight's home team would always give the opposing team enough boos and give the Knight's players enthusiastic cheers.
It was an extreme contrast.
He fiercely attacked the mentality of the opponent team.
Salt Lake City's home-court advantage was fully displayed, and the home court of the Knight was also known as the " Devil's Home Court."
It was possible to win here, but it would not be easy.
In summary.
It would be very difficult for the Laker, who was ranked last in the Western Conference, to beat the fifth-ranked Knight tonight.
However…
It was difficult.
After winning four consecutive victories, the young players of the Los Angeles Clippers were full of momentum, fighting spirit, and fearlessness. They were determined to overthrow the Salt Lake Plateau and create a path to victory.
On the private plane.
"Isn't it the Highlands? Isn't it the home ground of the Devils?" Ingram roared.! I, Ingram, am not afraid at all. I will definitely beat up Knight.”
They got off the plane.
They had officially entered Salt Lake City.
Ingram clutched his chest and panted slightly."F* ck, what the hell is this place? It's so depressing. I can't breathe properly. I feel so uncomfortable.”
"Qin Rui, help me up."
All the Laker players thought,"You're slapping me too quickly."
......
8:15 PM.
Energy Solution Arena.
There were still 45 minutes before the official game started at 9 o'clock, but the audience was already packed with people, constantly supporting the Knight players who were warming up on the field.
When the Laker players walked out of the player tunnel.
"Eh ~"
The stadium was suddenly filled with ear-splitting sighs, which were much stronger than at the Blazers 'home stadium.
"What right do you have to win in Salt Lake City? You guys are destined to be losers tonight, do you understand?!”
"Hey, isn't this Qin Rui? That, that second-rate top scorer. He seems to be getting better recently. He seems to have become more confident.”
"Hey, hey, tonight, I will tear apart your disguise and let everyone know that you are a second-rate person who can be hung up and hammered at will and come in through the back door.”
"You want five consecutive victories? That's impossible."
“......”
Ingram, Kuzma, and the others were bombarded with countless insinuations and sighs. Even though the coach had told them to calm down before the game, Kuzma, Ingram, and the other young players could not help but want to interact.
Even Lopes, who had been in the NBA for many years, was not happy.
however
On the other hand, Qin Rui, who had been ridiculed the most by the home fans, remained calm and composed. He was not affected at all when he needed to warm up and shoot.
In the studio at the back.
O'Neal and Barkley were sitting at the table.
Tonight.
It was supposed to be Amy Johnson and Kenny Smith's partner commentating on the game, but O'Neal wanted to commentate on Qin Rui's game too much.
The shift was forcibly changed.
Barkley glared at O'Neill and complained,""You bastard, forcing me to work overtime.”
"Hehe."
O'Neill rubbed his head and pretended to be dumb. He then pursed his lips and said,""This is Qin Rui's match. Don't tell me you won't pay attention to it.”
Barkley didn't say anything.
O'Neal got down to business and said," Tonight's game is a huge challenge for the Laker.”
"First, it's the geographical location. We've already talked about this many times, so we won't talk about it anymore. With the " devil's home ground," the Knight has made many strong teams suffer here.”
"Secondly, the strength of the team is the main reason why countless challengers have been defeated.”
"Gerber, the center with extremely long arms, has such strong defensive abilities. In the 14-15 season, he almost won the best defensive player award with only 37 starting performances.”
"You can imagine how strong his defense is.”
" This 'monster' from France is undoubtedly the tower of the forbidden zone of the knights.”
" On the other hand, I originally thought that Hayward's departure would make the team weak on the offensive end. Who knew that the appearance of Rubiao and rookie Mitchell, together with Gobel, had a good chemical reaction.”
"Rubius 'passing ability and Gerber's defensive and rebounding abilities give Mitchell the right to fire without limit.”
"Even many star players can't reach an average of 24 shots per game, but a rookie like him has done it. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint the team and scored an average of 24.4 points per game.”
"We can finish the game on the outside, defend with rebounding in the paint, and organize with the defenders.”
"It has everything. It's not without reason that this team has made it into the top five in the Western Conference.”
O'Neill spoke in all directions without panting.
These were his jobs, his bread and butter. He could do it at will, but he had to be like a fish in water.
Barkley took over." That's right. But while the Knight's home game is strong, the recent state of the Laker is no joke. What kind of sparks will be created when these two teams collide?!”
"Whether Sir Devil will take your life or be taken, we will look forward to it!”
