95 Chief Commentator's Bias(2/2)
It was still Irving, who caught the ball and then dunked successfully.
The Lakers were hit by two counterattacks at the beginning.
Especially Wang Yi, who was defended by Irving on two consecutive fast breaks, immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some fans.
This game was broadcast live across the United States, and the commentators on the scene were all from ESPN.
One is ESPN's chief commentator, silver-haired Mike Bree.
He has been broadcasting in this league for decades.
Since today is a special day, ESPN also sent this heavyweight commentator who doesn't comment much now.
One is Charles Barkley.
The other one is Shaquille O'Neal.
As a Lakers star, O'Neal was one of the two core players that won three consecutive championships for the Lakers.
He is also a good friend of Kobe Bryant - although the two had differences before, they have long since reconciled their grudges - and on a day like today, it is most appropriate for him to commentate on the game.
Silver-haired Mike Burry saw Irving score two goals in a row.
But Wang Yi, who was supposed to be keeping an eye on Irving, failed to keep up.
He smiled and said:
"It seems that this young man was frightened. He has never seen such a big scene."
"I haven't experienced a national live broadcast; I haven't competed against a guard like Kyrie Irving. His reaction was a bit slow, and his steps were too slow. In terms of the first two rounds, he is not worthy of today's starting position.
Charles, what do you think?"
Charles Barkley shrugged.
The previous scene of kissing the pig butt is still fresh in my mind, and Wang Yi had just scored 50, so he would not make any nonsense again.
"I think you may be a little arbitrary. Don't forget, he just scored 50 in the game against the Jazz."
Silver-haired Mike Bree shook his head:
"No, the Jazz today are no longer the Jazz during the Marlon Stockton era."
"Today's defense is far inferior to that of the 1970s and 1980s. There are too many body hair whistles. If we put him in the past era, would he still be able to score so many points?"
"Moreover, the number of rounds in today's games has greatly increased, and the overall statistics of the players are showing a blowout trend. Winning 50 is not a big boast. Let him ask the bearded Harden how many 50 he can get in a season."
O'Neill shook his head and said:
"It means that the king can't get into your eyes no matter what."
Silver-haired Mike Bree shook his head again and said:
"It's not that I can't see it, but it's an objective fact. Look at how frightened he was in the first two rounds."
"And the Big Three of the Nets haven't shown their power yet, and the God of Death hasn't shown his power yet."
