The first match of 14 Summer United started!
Two days later.
The Las Vegas Summer League officially began.
Even though the popularity and intensity of the game were much lower than the NBA, the NBA was in the offseason and the draft had just ended. There were still many fans who paid attention to it.
The night before.
The team arrived in Las Vegas and stayed in a hotel near the Xia Lian Arena.
Today.
The first game for the Los Angeles Clippers was against the Knicks.
The team had a 2.21-meter-tall power forward, Porzingis, who was also the No. 4 player of the year. He had good shooting and movement abilities, as well as an amazing height.
It made him the center of attention.
On the side of the Laker, the more famous player was naturally Russell, the second pick. The match between the second and fourth picks was the biggest highlight of the game.
9 AM.
At the Cohen Arena.
The two teams were warming up in the arena. There was still half an hour before the game.
"Although Russell is second, I'm more optimistic about the No. 4 player, Porzingis. He's too tall and has the basket.”
"Yeah, his movement speed isn't bad either. He's above the others in the same position. When these advantages are combined, there's no way to defeat him. It's a pity that he's a little light. Otherwise, he would really be a monster.”
"Strong. However, we can't underestimate Russell. This dual energy guard has many ways to score.”
" Oh, right. If I remember correctly, Russell's template is 'Yellow Mamba' Brandon Roy. Now that he's on the Laker team, if he grows up for a few years and develops toward Roy, it would be interesting to succeed Kobe in the future.”
"Haha!"
"However, I feel that Lasalle and Lillard are somewhat similar.”
"You can say that. Both of them have quite accurate shooting skills. Anyway, the match between the second place and the fourth place won't be too bad. Let's look forward to it.”
Before the match.
The live commentators chatted and talked about this and that, causing the heated atmosphere in the stadium to gradually heat up.
On the bench of the Los Angeles team.
Scott and Price were there. In addition, Kobe, Nick, and Lu Wei were also there. Su Yan had been making a lot of noise in the Los Angeles team recently.
Especially that three-point logo, it captured the hearts of many people.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of energy this rookie with amazing shooting ability could unleash on the Summer League field.
Although Kobe kept talking about how he had been tricked by Su Yan, he was only able to talk quickly and discover a rookie like Su Yan, who was a three-point shooter.
He couldn't be happier.
He originally wanted to go on vacation with his wife and daughter during his vacation, but he decided to postpone his schedule slightly. He wanted to watch Su Yan's competition live.
Not long after.
The official competition began.
“jump、ball！”
The Knicks took the ball and got the first attack of the game. The point guard pushed the ball forward and lobbed the ball high above the arc to Porzingis, who was high on the right.
He was facing Lasalle.
In fact.
With Porzingis's height of 2.21 meters, almost everyone on the outside line was out of place.
He caught the ball, lowered his center of gravity, and took a step forward. Russell had no choice but to watch him attack, hoping that he would miss.
What could he do?
"Swoosh!"
Hollow hit.
This big man was the height of a center, but he had the precision of a guard. If he was left open, he would end the attack with a mid-range shot.
2:0
The Knicks took the lead.
The right to the ball.
Su Yan controlled the ball and pushed forward.
"This No. 5 player is called Su Yan. I only knew that he was a Chinese player when I saw him. My impression of Chinese players is still stuck in the era of Yao and McGrady.”
"I don't know if Su Yan will be as good as Big Yao. However, he came in as a free agent, so the upper limit shouldn't be too high.”
"Wow, Su Yan shot a three-pointer at the three-point line against Porzingis 'defense? That was a guy who was 2.21 meters tall and had an arm length of 2.29 meters. Why was he so decisive?!”
"Oh, it hit!”
This commentator.
A second ago, he was still looking down on Su Yan, but in the next moment, he shouted excitedly.
The other commentator was also shocked and exclaimed,"What guts. He really dares to bet. Su Yan is so confident, as if he knows he won't be blocked.”
" He made a move?!"
Porzingis was also slightly surprised. He was surprised not because Su Yan hit the 3 point, but because Su Yan dared to hit his head.
"Are shooters so arrogant now?”
Porzingis smiled, but he quietly stared at Su Yan.
The Knicks have the ball.
The point guard dribbled the ball over, but he still handed the ball to Porzingis. He faced the power forward and accelerated the breakthrough. He relied on his speed advantage to open up half a body.
Stop.
"Whoosh!"
Pulling up from mid-range, the power forward of the Los Angeles Clippers tried his best to rush over, but the interference was minimal.
"Swoosh!"
Porzingis scored again.
"This height, this speed, how am I supposed to defend against it?!”
The power forward looked helpless.
Russell served from the baseline. Su Yan controlled the ball for half of the court and came to the middle of the arc. He asked for a cover, bypassed the defense, and accelerated to the left.
then...
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly closed the ball and shot a cold arrow.
"Humph!"
"You still dare to vote? Do you really think I don't exist?!”
Porzingis, who had been staring at Su Yan, moved sideways almost at the moment Su Yan made his move. He pounced over and swung his long arm, wanting to give him a hot pot hat.
"He got the advantage the first time, but he still dared to shoot at the defense the second time. Moreover, his opponent is a big guy who is 2.21 meters. Su Yan is a little young.”
The commentator shook his head.
"Damn it!"
The other commentator was also very certain that Su Yan was going to be blocked.
However…
Just as everyone thought that Su Yan's shot was about to be blocked, the basketball slipped out of Porzingis 'fingertips and flew toward the basket.
"What a fast attack speed!"
The shoutcaster, who had just shook his head, narrowed his eyes in the next second.
"Impossible!"
Porzingis also widened his eyes. He couldn't believe that the ball was not blocked. He looked back and watched the ball fall into the net bag.
"Swoosh!"
Three points again!
