Chapter 688: Mamba, Manniu and An Pig
On October 27, 2009, the regular season of the NBA2009-2010 season officially began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There will be four regular season games on this day, the most notable of which will be the defending champion Atlanta Hawks vs the Purple and Gold Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers were the first team to complete dynasty dominance in the first decade of the 21st century, and they certainly don't want to share that honor with anyone else.
This summer, the Lakers poached Ron Artest, who was already on the decline, from the free market for a four-year, $32 million contract, and coincidentally, Trevor Ariza of the Lakers also defected to the Houston Rockets.
I don't know if there is a private deal between them, anyway, the Lakers' defensive intensity on the wing is really growing, after all, Artest's defensive aggression is still better than Ariza's.
If you can't beat him, join him, in fact, Artai first threw an olive branch to the Atlanta Hawks this summer.
However, Billy Knight and Erniu were not satisfied with Atay's long-range shooting ability, and his asking price was indeed a little higher, so Atay finally failed to hug the thigh of the defending champion.
At this time, the Lakers expressed a strong interest in Artey, so Artest resolutely flew to the City of Angels and decided to join forces with Kobe Bryant to compete for the championship.
The Lakers were reinforced, but the Hawks' trade this summer was just as impressive, especially trading four of the team's fringe players for Jamal Crawford's stroke of genius, which catapulted Billy Knight to fame.
Two years ago, he was thought to be a hoarder of swing people, but now he is the league's best-in-class general manager.
The 73-win main rotation lineup remains unchanged, and with the addition of Crawford, who could have been the No. 2 scorer for the Warriors, as the sixth man, the overall strength of the Hawks is even more terrifying compared to last season.
Philips Center Arena in Atlanta.
Tonight, the arena was packed, and Georgia basketball fans were happy.
After 40 years of waiting (50 years in team history), they have won two consecutive NBA championships and are about to attack for a third place.
After the mat show, the first wave of excitement was held on the court, and as is customary, they will receive last season's championship rings afterwards.
Ruan Erniu, as the leader, was the first to get his own ring, and then held the microphone on the spot, while awarding all the achievements of his teammates, while awarding their championship rings.
This is not the first time Erniu has done this job, and he has always done it quite well.
In the other corner of the court, the camera lens occasionally swept over Kobe Bryant.
The Black Mamba's eyes are particularly cold, and watching the opponent receive a championship ring on someone else's home court is a torment for the extremely competitive Kobe Bryant.
Fortunately, the ceremony passed quickly, and the time for the game was approaching.
Tonight, the Lakers' starting lineup:
C Andre Bynum
PF Lamar Odom
SF Ron Artest
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Derek Fisher
Power forward Pau Gasol was out due to injury, so they sent Omdo to the starting power forward position.
And for the Hawks:
C Ruan Er Niu
PF Josh Smith
S.F. John Salmons
SG Joe Johnson
PG Mike Bibby
Woodson eventually used veteran Bibby in the first game of the regular season, and Woodson is still a conservative coach at heart.
Even though Dragic's ability to fight has improved a lot compared to last season, and his mobility has been perfected in daily training, Woodson still believes in Bibi, who is more experienced in the No. 1 position.
This also echoes Woodson's usual style, after all, a guy like Erniu who is extremely athletic and perverted is really a once-in-a-century existence.
But the century-old genius lost to Bynum in today's jump ball session.
Bynum, nicknamed Anzhu by the Celestial Empire fans, jumped high and took a step ahead of the two bulls to dial the ball to Odom.
Odom didn't choose to pass the ball either, but took the ball straight across the half, and when the left-handed magician wasn't distracted, he was a superstar.
Kobe Bryant asked for the ball in the horns, and Salmons was behind him with his back to the ball.
Tonight, both the Hawks and the Lakers adopted a defensive strategy of dislocation at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, letting the Salmon defend Kobe Bryant and Atai to embarrassment, so that the two teams could better release their offensive firepower in the game.
Kobe Bryant turned his back to the basket, shook his shoulders and followed the cross-step, used the rhythm to pass Salmons, and forced the basket to attack the basket in the face of the eclipse.
"Bang!"
A very tough ball, the lunar eclipse directly knocked Kobe Bryant out of the bottom line, but the basketball thrown by Kobe Bryant failed to touch the basket.
"Toot!"
The referee blew the whistle, the lunar eclipse fouled, and Kobe Bryant executed a free throw.
The black mamba standing at the free throw line had fire in his eyes, and the corners of Erniu's mouth at the baseline position grinned, and the Celestial Empire also noticed Kobe's desire for this victory, but Erniu was not worried.
That's how the man with the two championship rings holds on.
You can win if you want to? How can it be so simple?
Bryant hit both free throws to open the scoring for the Lakers.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Erniu directly pulled the inside line, stood 45 degrees outside the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot.
"Brush!"
The three-point shot and the Eagles instantly overtook the score.
Bryant took Odom's baseline ball and dribbled directly across the halfcourt.
Leaned on Salmons with his back for two steps, and then directly held the ball to the basket, this time he got the opportunity to directly face Ruan Erniu.
"Bang!"
It's a confrontation between the new NBA's current No. 1 and the suspected former NBA No. 1.
Under the influence of Erniu, Kobe Bryant's shot missed, but the astute Mamba grabbed the second rebound directly under the basket, and then directly shot back at a negative angle~~
"Brush!"
Mamba scored four straight points in the opening game.
The Hawks possessed the ball, Erniu went up again to receive the basketball, and Bynum, who was shot at a ball, had to go up to defense.
Erniu didn't wait for him to stand in a defensive position, lowered his center of gravity, and broke through An Zhu without any fancy dribbling and entered the penalty area.
Odom immediately threw down the lunar eclipse to make up for the defense, but Erniu didn't mean to force the dunk, he jumped lightly and threw the basketball in his hand......
"Boom!"
The unguarded lunar eclipse gained too much room to shoot, and he certainly wouldn't waste such a beautiful assist from Erniu.
After the eclipse had fully stretched his body in the air, he lifted the basketball from the back of his head, and then took a violent basket with both arms, smashing the ball into the basket.
The Eagles' bombing army has always been one of the most beautiful scenery of the alliance.
Since joining Ruan Erniu's dual-purpose bombing and supply aircraft, their ground and air attack capabilities have been at the forefront of the alliance all year round.
Erniu and Kobe Bryant completed the mutual explosion, but the Lakers were not without others stepping up.
On the offensive end of the Lakers, Bynum asked for the ball in the low post, and Odom in the high post made a through plug and sent the ball to Anzhu.
Leaning on the back, close to the top of the person, jumping, and holding up the hook hand.
"Brush!"
An Zhu made a hook shot against Ruan Erniu, and it wasn't his only performance in the first quarter.
Although these attacks were not enough to actually complete the suppression of the Great Demon King of the Celestial Empire, they were also enough to consume Erniu's energy on the defensive end to a certain extent.
Just looking at Anzhu's low footsteps, you know that Bynum has made great strides this season compared to last season, and he is the Lakers' strongest interior offensive point during Gasol's absence.
