Guard With a Knife

Nine hundred and twenty: [I am the Steve you will never get]

After a long game, the Bulls struggled to finally get the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game was played in a rigorous manner, and the Bulls won the victory head-on by relying on a solid lineup foundation.

This game fully embodies Tom Thibodeau's coaching style. He tends to unchangingly open up and play close-fitting bayonet-style battles with his opponents.

He didn't have the agility that Snoopy had when he was still in Chicago, and he didn't have the agility of seizing the advantage and instantly launching the momentum, widening the gap and putting the opponent directly to death.

In this game, Dwight Howard did not integrate well into this lineup. Although he played as a starter, his playing time was far less than that of Pau Gasol who came off the bench.

Pau Gasol seamlessly filled the gap left by Carlos Boozer and became the central nerve of the inside, and his coping ability made the connection between Rose and the wing even closer.

It is worth mentioning that the cooperation between Dwight Howard and Rose is not very good. Because Howard doesn't like to play pick-and-rolls, but Rose is good at attacking cities and needs people to cover.

That's why Howard spent so much time on the bench.

What's interesting is that Howard actually complemented Jimmy Butler in the second team. These two men of steel collided with fierce sparks, and both of them have a brave style of play. The Thunder's second team was crying, and in the end the Bulls won by 5 points, while their second team won by at least 10 points.

There will be conflicts in the future.

Steve Nash said as an experienced person.

The two veterans beside them also nodded repeatedly. Davis and Jamison are veterans who have been in the league for many years. They know that a team cannot have two styles of play, let alone two lineups. If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to civil strife.

Bryant didn't talk, he didn't have much interest in the splits and combinations of other teams. Just to emphasize: look at the results of Miami vs. the Spurs.

The competition between Miami and San Antonio is even more anxious. They obviously started the game first, but it is not over yet because they entered double overtime.

This feasted the eyes of countless fans.

This season, the Heat have strengthened their lineup. They introduced Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, two flanking three-point shooters, and their offensive energy has been released to the greatest extent.

However, the Spurs are still sophisticated. After Tim Duncan lost weight during the offseason, he seemed to become another person. He became more agile, and the commentator even began to joke about the performance of the No. 21 rookie of the Spurs. In addition, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker also played in a fully healthy state. Although their strength is no longer comparable to that of five years ago, with Leonard's rapid growth, they have greater strength on the outside. support.

In addition, the newly joined Dior is seamlessly integrated into the Spurs system. This guy was a tall point guard when he was young and was known as a French magician. He was a rebounding forward in his prime. Now he is old and has become a flexible and fat man.

And in the final five seconds of the second overtime, he grabbed that damn offensive rebound. Then he made two free throws, ending the Heat's first win of the season.

call!

The bearded man let out a long sigh. He frowned and said, It turns out that the Spurs didn't play seriously in the preseason.

Nash also shook his head. For the old opponent of the Spurs, he has a headache.

Except for Snoopy, actually. The four veterans sitting here have all suffered from the Spurs.

The Spurs have been the occasional overlord of the West for more than ten years. Although they have not won consecutive championships, they have also won four championships back. Always on top of the West.

When Darko and Whiteside find their status, we are not without our efforts.

Doug said seriously that he was full of confidence.

The whole world is saying that the Lakers lineup is not very good,

Only he has always thought that this lineup is already very strong. It takes experience to have experience, talent to have talent, and terminators to have terminators. As long as they work together well, there is no reason not to have a championship.

The Houston Rockets arrived in Los Angeles the next day, and they were the Lakers' first opponent of the new season.

The Rockets made a blockbuster signing in the offseason when they traded James Harden from the Thunder, who were under salary pressure. James Harden has jumped from the best sixth man in the league to the absolute core of a team. In addition, Morey also gave Jeremy Lin, who caused Lin's whirlwind in New York last year, a chicken thief contract: the chicken thief of this contract is that the annual salary gradually decreases.

This season, the Rockets' goal is very clear, which is to enter the playoffs.

In ESPN's team rankings for the new season, the Lakers rank ninth in the league, fifth in the Western Conference, and the Rockets follow closely behind.

When the veterans of the Lakers saw this ranking, they all wanted to hit someone angrily.

How dare you compare us with the Rockets? We have Doug ranked No. 1 on the player list, and Kobe Bryant ranked No. 15. How old is the Rockets?

When it comes to ESPN ranking Kobe Bryant fifteenth in the league, the Black Mamba is furious. This narrow-minded man even practiced heads-up with Duge for half the night on the night when the rankings were released. He kept saying: Fifteen! fifteen! fifteen! fifteen!

This made it hard for Duge not to think of Guo Donglin's Spring Festival Gala skit, eighty for the big hammer, forty for the small hammer!

...

ESPN broadcast the Lakers' opening game live across the United States.

The most important ceremony before the start of the game is to shake the camera to the VIP seats on the sidelines. Find out which duchess ladies are dressed up to attend, and which potential female stars will become court swallows in the duke's mansion.

The marketing department of the Lakers has indeed received a lot of calls from Hollywood recently. Many female stars who are trying to release films or have films about to be released hope to get a front-row ticket to Staples. Everyone knows that as long as they have a relationship with the little duke, There are countless topics. In this era of eyeball economy, if there is a topic, there will be traffic, and if there is traffic, there will be income.

So, who doesn't want to take advantage of the Duke's heat?

What's interesting is that although ESPN's footage found Twilight Girl, Amanda, and Britney. But no duchess girl entered the country, and in the reports of the paparazzi, they did find a picture of the duchess girl entering the venue.

But what about them?

All right.

Are they drinking champagne in the vip box?

Scarlett showed the momentum of a big sister. She played beach volleyball with Snoopy for a while last night. There are also two little Disney princesses, plus Taylor Swift and Hilde.

Everyone is very satisfied with the current situation, because this investment not only allows them to find a habitat, but also allows them to build groups at any time. At the same time, it also brought good income. Yes, the market value of the Lakers has soared like a rocket after getting Snoopy, and this year's financial statements have become very, very good, and the equity dividends will be astronomical.

We really rely on Snoopy to make a lot of money. Selena sighed sincerely.

...

The Black Mamba showed amazing aggression from the very beginning. When Whiteside patted the basketball to the Duke, the Duke quickly reached the frontcourt with the ball and then handed it to the Black Mamba.

The Black Mamba immediately showed an amazing attack**. He passed James Harden's defense with a precise change of direction, and then made a quick jumper. He couldn't wait to vent his dissatisfaction with ESPN with a goal.

But... bam!

After all, he still failed to hit the Lakers' first goal of the season.

And at this moment, the little Duke who had entered the paint fell from the sky. He abruptly pulled the basketball from the top of his former teammate Asik, and then slammed it into the basket... Boom!

When the basketball went into the hoop, the entire Staples was boiling over the dunk.

At the same time, the little duke on the ESPN screen laughed, and he turned his head: Hey, the fifteenth player in the league, don't be so brave!

He deliberately stimulated the black mamba.

This made the Black Mamba's cold face even more rigid.

Stephen Nash on the side laughed.

It's just a pain for Boozer and Whiteside. These two people don't know what happened, and they dare not ask!

Turning back, James set a screen through Parsons Chandler to receive the ball from Jeremy Lin. This caused a dislocation, and Doug followed up.

Facing the Duke's defense, James Harden took a tentative step cautiously.

But when he saw the opportunity to step forward, Bryant suddenly rushed in from behind. He pressed very aggressively as soon as he came up, and at the same time Doug also quickly rushed forward as a barrier.

Poor Harden hadn't had time to collect the ball and call a foul, but the wolf-like Black Mamba took the basketball from his hands abruptly and arbitrarily.

Then pass it to Stephen Nash, who is going down quickly, when the old Zonda completes a layup in the frontcourt.

The Black Mamba suddenly turned his head: The number one player in the league, the defensive level is just so good!

Doug suddenly smiled and punched him. Without me, it's a foul on you.

James Harden looked stunned, his bushy beard concealed his expression, but it was not difficult to see from his eyes that he was suffering a critical blow.

His heart roared: Hey, can you pay attention to the victim's emotions? I was cut off by you, and you still want to flirt in front of me, okay? Is this really a man?

If I had known I would have fallen to the ground, I might have drawn a foul.

Harden thought indignantly.

Soon, the Rockets showed a new offensive after returning to the frontcourt. James Harden passed the ball to Parsons during the breakthrough, and Parsons made a quick shot.

But when he just threw the basketball, the little duke jumped up, and he grabbed the basketball directly like a roc spreading its wings.

This amazing instant jumping ability made the whole scene exclaimed.

Also... too scary, right?

At the same time, the Duke had already thrown the basketball forward, and the black mamba rushed over. After he went deep into the penalty area to attract the defense, he threw the basketball high.

Steve Nash, who drove straight in the middle, jumped up.

This time, he didn't challenge the Tomahawk dunk any longer. Instead, follow the trend and put the basketball in the basket.

The Lakers' outside trio cooperate so well, it's a bit of a bully.

McBrin was sitting in the commentary seat, and he said depressedly: Who would have thought that the three of them would be in such harmony? The fluency of this defensive counterattack can be compared with Miami's James Wade connection!!!

Reggie Miller was also taken aback. In the preseason, the three of them didn't cooperate very well, but I didn't expect... In the regular season, they were so smooth and smooth, it was like a quick attack like mercury pouring down the ground!

Although the Rockets' perimeter defense is terrible, only James Wade on the south coast can reach this level.

After changing sides and fighting again, the Rockets finally stabilized their position by virtue of Asik's scoring in the paint.

But looking back, they still couldn’t defend Kobe Bryant’s post-up singles on the strong side: Black Mamba was as tough as a grandson in the preseason, but in the regular season, he immediately took out your uncle or you Uncle's posture.

This is so crazy!

What makes Rockets coach McHale most depressing is that he can't double-team Kobe.

Once Kobe was quoted, Snoopy was empty.

Snoopy is empty, doesn't that mean giving points?

In addition, there is a two-time regular season mvp Steve who is doing nothing at the top of the arc, you can't let your guard down.

As the game moved forward, the Rockets, who were second only to the Lakers on ESPN, were gradually hammered into pig heads.

When there were 2 minutes left in the first quarter, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the Lakers replaced Stephen Nash and Kobe Bryant.

Mike Brown is a very good executive coach. He quickly made adjustments to the lineup. Milicic, Jordan Hill, Kyle Korver and Baron Davis followed the Duke.

The tactical fluency of this lineup is obviously not as good as that of the starting lineup.

Milicic is still struggling to get back into shape, and Baron Davis isn't in very good shape either. Jordan Hill has never played with Dug before, and Korver is left. He has won two championships with the Duke, but as a shooter, he is only a functional player!

The Rockets seized some opportunities under this lineup. Throughout the second quarter, they recovered the point difference from 13 points to 6 points.

James Harden and Jeremy Lin played very good point chasers in the second quarter.

The Lakers have to deal with the fact that their second team is not as good as the first team. If Kobe is 2 years younger and Nash is 3 years younger, I believe none of this will be a problem. They can even easily join the championship team. . but now……

McBrin was speechless and said: They may still need to make the next transaction.

Bill Walton agrees with McBrin.

Only Reggie Miller felt: This is the first game. They have actually played very well. Give the Lakers some time, and I believe they will get better and better.

In fact, that's what Doug said in the locker room.

He praised Milicic's feat of blocking Harden in the second quarter, and praised Jordan Hill's dunk after the pick-and-roll. At the same time, he also named the experience that Baron Davis and Jamison brought to the team.

The Duke and the Black Mamba have completely different leadership styles. Kobe likes to catch the loopholes of his teammates and scold them to death until they collapse.

As for the Duke, he always praises more than criticizes.

Therefore, everyone likes to play with him.

This made Kobe very tasteful. He felt that the Duke, who got along with his teammates, was a fickle man.

Why can't you just be warm to one person like me.

He looked at Nash beside him, and Nash was all smiles. He liked the current atmosphere of the Lakers very much. Snoopy has turned the team into a big family. Although some players have not been able to keep up with the overall pace, he believes that under Snoopy's patient guidance, everything will be fine.

Tonight, it's just a small test.

As for the sour taste of the Black Mamba, let him be sour.

Anyway, I'm the Steve you'll never have!
