You know, because of the age of General Johnson and Admiral David Robinson, the Spurs' defensive skills have declined significantly compared to the past few years, and once they can't find their sense on the offensive end, it will be basically difficult for them to compete with several strong teams in the West. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the offense, the Spurs can create offensive opportunities on their own and only Duncan is the only talented player, and the weakness of other players on the offensive end allows the opponent to unscrupulously trap the stone Buddha.

In the Spurs, apart from Johnson, Steve Kerr is the best offensive playmaker and three-point shooter on the outside, and although Parker is the nominal playmaker, the Frenchman still focuses more on attacking the basket and breaking the ball. The ability to distribute the ball reasonably on the offensive end is not even as good as that of Argentine Ginobili, and there is still a considerable gap compared to the current junior general Johnson.

From this, you should know that without Steve Kerr, the Spurs will have one less guy who can control the pace of the game when Johnson is off, a shooter who can provide stable three-point firepower at critical moments, and the Spurs players are generally older, so it is conceivable how much the Spurs' strength has declined this year.

Listening to the cheers that grew louder and louder with the introduction outside, the Lakers players were a little guilty in their hearts, they couldn't play the opener game in their own homes last season, and now they can't, it seems that Stern is determined to do it right with them, and he doesn't forget to make trouble for them all the time.

Lamar chewed the gum in his mouth slowly, it wouldn't be long before the game started, he knew that the Lakers had to win this game, otherwise those reporters might have to say something, and the defending champion couldn't afford to lose face.

When the Spurs players entered, they received countless praises from the fans, and most of them were still words such as "the best in the world" and "the strongest in the universe". And as the names popped out of the commentator's mouth, the fans at the scene loudly mocked and abused together, and even Lamar could not escape such a fate this time.

San Antonio fans are full of resentment about the Lakers' 3-1 win over the Spurs in the regular season last season, and of course the fans hate the Portland Jail Legion's bastards even more.

Lamar calmly walked onto the pitch and was greeted with the boos of the fans.

He smiled and waved his hand around, calmly and magnanimously!

"Lamar, why are you still waving, we shouldn't have killed these bitches with our eyes!" Medveddenko reminded in the back.

Hearing this, Chauncy couldn't help but laugh, it seems that he had suggested this to Lamar last season.

Medvidenko pointed to the fans and said: "In the past, we used to deal with the opposing fans like this! Kill them with your gaze so that they don't scream." Medvedenko's eyes have been glaring viciously at the fans around him, and he does look fierce.

"You're stupid! You don't look at how big the Spurs' arena is, how many fans are watching the game?" Lamar asked casually.

Medvedenko, who was still a rookie, looked at Lamar in bewilderment, wondering what he was asking for.

Lamar was quick to explain to him: "Man, this is the NBA, do you think they're going to notice your gaze? It's at least ten meters from here to the bench, ten meters, can you see a person's eyes from ten meters away?

Medvidenko thought that this was indeed the case, which made him a little frustrated, as long as it was away in the preseason, then he would stare at the fans so fiercely, and listening to Lamar's words, he knew that all his strength was in vain.

"Lamar, that's your opponent tonight. Looks like this guy is a little excited tonight!" said Ramon Murray, hugging Lamar's shoulder, and he twisted Lamar's head with his big hand to make him look at Duncan as he practiced his board shooting.

Lamar laughed dryly, Tim Duncan! He really doesn't want to play against this man, in last year's game, he was almost beaten by Tim this guy with no confidence! Tim this guy is really difficult to defend, he is not like a traditional power forward, but uses the body of a center to play the guise of a big forward, Lamar suffers a little in terms of height and strength! Now he has to continue to entangle with this guy, which is really not something to be happy about for a Lamar.

You don't think everybody likes to challenge their opponents, but Lamar was really looking forward to going into the NBA and playing against those legendary insiders, especially Duncan.

But after last season's familiarity. He finally knew that there was still a bit of a gap between him and this guy, and now he was fighting Duncan, although he was not afraid, he couldn't stop Tim The same Tim wanted to prevent him It was also very difficult, but Lamar really had a bit of a headache in the face of the guy.

The Lakers lineup is: center Shaq O'Neal, power forward Lamar, forward Ramon Murray, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, and playmaker Chancey Billups.

The lineup on the Spurs' side is: center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Derrick Anderson, scoring guard Antonio Daniels, and playmaking guard Avery Johnson.

Arrange the lineup in this way, Phil also continued the lineup of the Lakers who won the championship last season, Robert's surgery did not affect the Lakers much time, the work of the Lakers management in the offseason was still fruitful, and a lot of interior players were obtained, although these interior lines were useless except for Grant, Foster would only defend and not attack, Medvidenko was still a rookie who would only attack and not defend, Grant was okay but the years were not forgiving, Robert Horry had another operation.

Now against the Spurs, the Lakers first need a person who can defend Duncan, if that Ken can't prevent it, then the game will not have to be played, this person only has Shaq, Lamar is still a little worse than Tim, but once Shaq defends Tim Duncan, Lamar will have to face Robinson. Although Robinson is old, he is still old and strong!

The Spurs also don't have a good roster, they really don't have anyone available in terms of shooting guards, and they have Shaun Elliott at the top of the list in previous seasons. Now that Sean is really old, it is obviously not possible for him to defend Kobe! Zhuge Popovich had no choice but to put Antonio Daniels on top, and now he can only pray that God will open his eyes and there will be a Kobe miracle again, hoping that Daniels can become a piece of gold and jade.

But let's be honest, judging from the summer league and preseason, Daniels really has that potential, at least this guy has good organizational skills.

Shaq and Duncan jump the ball, both of which are of similar height and have similar arm spans, but the former bounces better, so no one is surprised when the ball appears in the hands of Lakers players.

Kobe Bryant reached out to pass the ball directly, and Shaq didn't want to attack by himself, so of course he would hit the first ball.

Derek Anderson is no longer the omnipotent outside defender, but his touch is still there, and his offensive ability is not bad!

According to Zhuge Vic's arrangement, Daniels and Kobe Bryant faced each other directly.

Kobe licked his lips, he actually wasted his energy to look at a guy like Daniels. To be honest, the two are really not on the same level.

Patting the ball casually looked at the position between the players of the two teams, Kobe Bryant lowered his legs and rushed over from Daniels' left side, Daniels hurriedly retreated diagonally to defend, his pace was quite fast, although he caught up with Kobe, but as soon as the two collided with each other, he was immediately knocked away.

Tim came out to make up for it, and Kobe yelled. Just when Duncan thought that this guy was going to jump and dunk, Kobe Bryant suddenly twisted his shoulder, and his body spun around like a spinning top, breaking through directly from his side.

There was no one in the penalty area, Kobe Bryant stepped on the ground with both feet, twisted his shoulders again, spun his body and jumped up, pulled his hands back, and when his eyes were opposite to the hoop, Kobe Bryant held the ball and smashed the ball into the hoop.

Kobe Bryant's goal was an oath to those fans that the Lakers are still the defending powerhouse.

Shaq is a master of defense, but if he can defend Duncan at his peak, Lamar believes that only Shaq is! Of course, it doesn't mean that Shaq can prevent Tim's every offense, Tim is a smart guy who knows how to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and his wiping shots are extremely accurate.

To be honest, Shaq still has a very dominant advantage against Duncan, not to mention anything else, the strength alone is quite different.

Duncan is a smart man, he knows where his advantage lies, he receives the ball and leans on Shaq, he doesn't squeeze in at the beginning, but relies on Shaq to keep making deceptive feints, at this time Shaq doesn't dare to make big moves at all, this is the home of the San Antonios, or their opener, to say that the referee is not biased towards the Spurs.

Duncan also sensed Shaq's caution, and when Shaq was distracted, he squeezed three times and squeezed twice, and Shaq was knocked out. Duncan took advantage of the situation to turn around and hook up for a layup, Lamar jumped up and interfered, to be honest, the intensity of his interference made Kobe Bryant on the outside feel painful, are you defending or encouraging?

When the Lakers attacked, they subjectively thought about how to give the ball to Kobe, after all, they are now very dominant in the face of Daniels, and Shaq has to save his physical strength to prepare for the first half! Fortunately, Kobe Bryant is not a lone person who plays ball, and he still knows how to divide the ball more often. Daniels, that rookie, has been crippled by Kobe, and now Kobe can break through as much as he wants, and this guy is not crying now It already shows that his character is very strong.
