One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Two: It’s Simply Cheating (5/5)
Christine Lacey was sitting in the front row of FedEx Arena. This was her first time as a fan.
Although Lacey is 34 years old, she is still one of the most popular female hosts in the sports world with her beautiful figure and well-maintained delicate skin.
Her talk show is very popular, and the people who participate in the show even include NBA celebrities like O'Neal.
As an out-and-out "mature woman", Lacey can maintain such a high popularity in an industry where young girls are more popular. In addition to her good looks, there must be other reasons.
The biggest reason is that Lacey is very courageous to interact with the players.
In her talk show, Lacey would boldly ask the guests various sensitive questions, and she would also dare to complain in front of the players.
For example, once, the program team first arranged to entertain Griffin with champagne.
Then Kristen asked: "After all, you have never won a championship, so you may not know that this is champagne. You should celebrate it before drinking it! But I must admit that I am your fan. I still have it hanging in my house. Your poster is the one where you were dunked by Antetokounmpo. Can you talk about that defense?"
Griffin's face turned green with anger.
This is also a female host. If she had been a male host, she would have been beaten up by Griffin.
Beyond that, Lacey is also very relaxed on the show.
For example, after Harrell joined the Clippers, Lacey invited Harrell to appear on a show.
At that time, Lacey said that if the Clippers win the championship, Harrell will definitely be the most experienced player in the Champagne War.
So, champagne and goggles were actually prepared in the show, and Lacey asked him to show how he sprayed champagne after winning the championship.
Harrell is also an honest man. He took champagne and seduced Lacey opposite him...
In the end, the ratings of that show exploded.
Because not only did Lacey get wet, but she also completely hosted the show in the end.
No female sports host has ever dared to get wet during a live broadcast and remained so calm.
This is Christine Lacey,
A very rare female host in the sports circle who dares to play, make trouble and speak viciously.
If you think she is just a vase based on her looks and figure, you are totally wrong.
This one is by no means a fuel saver.
Therefore, fans were not surprised at all when she said in her show, "Clippers championship, I put my words here. Even if Link is sitting across from me, I will still say this."
Lacey came to the scene today just to witness the first step of the Clippers' climb to the top.
She also admires Link, but she thinks Link has dominated the league for too long.
If the rulers were changed, the NBA might be more interesting.
Moreover, Lacey never took Link's retirement seriously. She believes that with Link's character, if he loses the championship this year, Link will definitely choose to stay.
As a result, Lacey hopes to see the Clippers reach the top.
Before the players came out to warm up, reporters on the sidelines took the lead in interviewing Lacey and asked her if she was optimistic about the Grizzlies taking the top spot in the strength rankings.
Although it was not on her own show, Lacey was still very venomous in her words: "The Grizzlies will not be this time, nor will they be the first in the strength rankings this season. They are great, but that is already in the past. They We have to accept the fact that the team has begun to decline."
Twenty minutes later, Christine Lacey's words were conveyed to Link's ears. The reporter also asked Link how he would respond to Lacey.
However, Link just scratched his head: "Christine Lacey? Sorry, I don't know this person. The most famous female basketball reporter in the world is in my house. As for Christine Lacey, she just thinks she It’s just very famous.”
Link's response made Lacey gnash her teeth in anger. This was completely stepping on her painful foot!
Because it was in the past few years after Rachel retired that Lacey's popularity increased slightly.
Lacey really didn't expect that Link wouldn't be merciful to ladies either.
This is definitely the most asshole player she has ever seen.
Link actually told the truth, he really didn’t know Lacey...
If you want to watch Beautiful Basketball Reporter, Link can watch it when you get home. There is no need to watch TV at all.
Therefore, Link has never watched a single episode of Lacey’s show.
And he didn't have the time to think about whether his tone to Lacey was too harsh right now. Link's thoughts were all on the Clippers at the moment.
Link knows that guy Paul George very well.
Since he could say that yesterday, he will definitely put it into practice today!
After a while, everyone from the Clippers also came out to warm up.
Doc Rivers was smiling. This was the first time Link saw Rivers smiling so happily at FedEx Arena.
In the past few years, has Rivers ever come to FedEx Arena without a frown on his face?
But now, Rivers is full of confidence. After all, this was his first time fighting for wealth.
Before the game started, Link gathered everyone together.
Obviously, this means that Link also attaches great importance to this game.
On the other side, George and Leonard fist bumped each other before coming out.
Both parties were very serious, and Lacey felt that the whole scene was heating up.
Is this the magic of FedEx Arena?
The referee signaled the starters from both sides to step into the center circle. Leonard looked at the Clippers' starters today and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Clippers' starting lineup has changed today, consisting of Beverley, Leonard, George, Patrick Patterson and Zubac.
In other words, Leonard and George will directly stand at the second and third positions!
This is undoubtedly something Rivers specially prepared for Link. Such a powerful wing is enough to kill most of the Grizzlies' firepower.
Leonard is still expressionless, the same as he was in last season's finals.
George was gearing up to fulfill his promise last night.
George and Leonard, these two guys, it takes a lot of effort for Link to play against one of them respectively.
But this time, they came together.
This was the first time that Link encountered this kind of one versus two situation.
Jokic and Zubac stood in the center circle, and the referee threw the ball high in front of everyone's attention.
The game officially begins!
On the Clippers side, Zubac is also a floor center. But Jokic opposite him is even worse than him.
Therefore, he finally won the first offensive ball for the Clippers with a fingertip advantage.
Beverley took possession of the ball and slowly passed halftime. Link stayed in front of Leonard, the top five singles player in the league!
He didn't give Leonard any space, and it was the most intense physical fight from the beginning.
However, Beverley did not hit the ball to Leonard, but handed the ball to Paul George outside the three-point line on the right!
"Fuck, that's really troublesome!" Link curled his lips. Dillon Brooks' defense was indeed active, but George had MVP-level strength.
George called Zubac for cover, and Jokic was also on hand to help defend at any time.
After Zubac set up a screen, George accelerated his breakthrough and Jokic also made up for it in time.
However, George dribbled the ball through the gap between Zubac and Jokic!
Breaking through screens and defenders is a skill that George only developed in the past two seasons.
Although it sounds incredible, this has become one of George's most efficient offensive methods.
Link watched helplessly as George easily broke through the defense, and then made a steady jump shot from the mid-range!
Leonard didn't even touch the ball, and the Clippers took the lead and scored two points!
In the Raptors last season, there was no way anyone other than Leonard could score on the Grizzlies so easily.
But this year, this guy showed up.
"Beautiful offense, the Clippers' tactics are not complicated, it is Jordan's screen and then singles. However, this simple method is the embodiment of the Clippers' strength. The ultimate Clippers can attack efficiently without complicated tactics. Shatter the opponent's defense!"
Kevin Harlan was shocked by the strength of the Ultimate Clippers. Two top singles players were on the court at the same time. How could they defend against this!
Later, Link wanted to hold the ball in person and retaliate.
But just as he was about to break through Leonard, George opened his arms to double-team him.
Rivers had no intention of leaving a way for Link to survive today, and was double-teamed from the start.
Facing the two top wings in Leonard and George, even Link cannot be reckless.
So he took advantage of the opportunity and passed the ball to Dillon Brooks who was left empty.
However, the moment Link passed the ball, George chased him back.
After receiving the basketball, Brooks just took off and prepared for a layup, but George, whose jumping, height and wingspan overwhelmed him, rushed back in time and swung his arm fiercely.
"Bang!"
The basketball was blown out of bounds like a cannonball.
The FedEx Arena fell silent instantly. This offense and defense were just showing off!
This is the power of the most luxurious striker in the league!
"This is just cheating." Link also scratched his head. The Clippers, the ultimate body, are really difficult to deal with.
Top offense, top defense, multiplied by 2...
It's really a headache.
On the sidelines, Christine Lacey played with her blond hair with one hand and smiled.
Now she wanted to see how bad Link could be.
