San Antonio, located in south-central Texas, USA, covers an area of about 1,205 square kilometers, making it the second largest city in Texas and the seventh most populous city in the United States.

First of all, there is a wealth of historical architectural sites. The Priests' Mansion, built by the Spaniards in the 18th century, combined multiple functions such as a church, a military fortress and a residence. The hundreds of such stone houses that have been left to this day are an attractive attraction.

Secondly, San Antonio is known for its thriving and green riverside promenade. The 4.5-kilometre-long San Antonio River is lined with restaurants, hotels, roadside cafes, tourist souvenir shops, theaters, museums and other buildings, all of which are located in a valley below the city street level, where you can see the trees of the valley.

The Lakers gather for dinner at a hotel on the banks of the San Antonio River.

"I can't believe that the Spurs let David Robinson choose to be reimbursed at the beginning of the season for the sake of a rookie."

"Everybody knows David is a cheat, and he won the gold medal with Shaq at the Atlanta Olympics in the summer." Campbell has a venomous tongue.

"Damn, that's not a win."

"May I ask what the points per game average of the great Shaq?"

O'Neal is stumbling, and his performance of starting but averaging less than 10 points per game is indeed a bit stretched, but isn't this for the Lakers to save their strength in the game. Ross Barkley, the leading scorer, is only averaging 12.4 points per game, and we play egalitarian basketball.

O'Neal quickly changed the subject: "Hi, Kobe. I've heard that you've been hailed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a cross between Jerry West and Magic Johnson. ”

"That's my pleasure." It's a great compliment, Magic Johnson is undoubtedly the all-time No. 1 point guard, and Kobe Bryant's 1.98-meter height as a point guard makes it hard not to make people associate the two.

And Jerry West combines a lethal jump shot, a tough defense, super confidence, and a super competitive spirit. It's just the same as Cole.

"Okay, okay, stop flattering each other. The Spurs still have Dominic Wilkins. Their team, which finished second in the West last year with 59 wins, also stayed, except that David Robinson was suspended. Lambis stopped the team's laughter and sounded the alarm bell for the players.

Dominic Wilkins is widely regarded as one of the best dunks in MLS basketball history and has earned the nickname "The Essence of Human Cinema."

He was named to the NBA All-Star team for nine consecutive years in his career, won the NBA scoring title in 1986 and was named to the NBA All-Star First Team, was selected to the All-NBA Second Team four times, was selected to the All-Star All-Star Third Team three times, and won the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest twice.

In the '95-96 season, he signed a two-year, $7 million contract with Panathinaikos of Greece, which was a great reward for a 35-year-old veteran. It is said that the club also provided him with a four-story marble villa, a maid, two cars, and even paid Greek taxes for him.

He helped the team win the Greek Cup and Europa League in 1996 and won two Finals MVPs, Final Four MVPs, Finals scoring titles, and All-Star Game MVPs.

This year, he returned to MLB with a high level of ambition to continue his NBA career, and he wanted to win a championship as a second-in-command next to the Admiral, but the team and David Robinson made a bad decision immediately after Tim Duncan decided to run, which made him very angry.

Before the game, Dominic Wilkins rallied his teammates: "Guys, I know we're messing around. But why don't we beat the West No. 1 to prove our mettle? Are we born losers? No, we're going to win at home! ”

And the Lakers players, even Kobe Bryant, are exhausted after yesterday's matchup with the Big Three.

Double overtime, especially against a top-level team like this, is just too draining.

The two sides entered, and the Lakers still maintained their normal starting lineup.

The starting lineup for the Spurs is PG Avery Johnson, SG Vernon Maxville, SF Sean Elliott, PF Dominic Wilkins, C Greg Anderson.

Avery Johnson, nicknamed "The Little General", has a leadership and can-do style that has helped him become the boss of the locker room.

He was David Robinson's right-hand man, who had 13.1 points and 9.6 assists last season. He is very playmaker and can get the ball to his teammates at the right time.

Vernon Maxwell was a two-time champion starting guard in Houston and was twice voted the league's three-point leader in the '90-92 season. It can be said that Maxwell is like a guided bomb, which pulls up infinite room for Olajuwon in the low position.

"Mad Max" is his nickname, and when he goes crazy, it's hard to stop him. Last season, he averaged 16+4+3 per game for the Philadelphia 76ers. A defender who projects a quasi-All-Star caliber range.

Sean Elliott was an All-Star-caliber wing player who was drafted with the third overall pick in '89 and was an All-Star in both '93 and '95. He played an excellent 20+5+3 next to David Robinson last season and can be said to be the second contributor to the team's 59 wins.

Greg Anderson is David Robinson's backup, an ordinary blue-collar interior lineman.

It's hard to imagine that such a lineup, with David Robinson enough to try a championship shot, would choose to rot immediately after learning that Tim Duncan was in the draft.

I have to admire the courage of the Spurs team.

At the start of the game, O'Neal crushed Greg Anderson's jump ball.

Bryant controlled the ball, he hung to O'Neal under the basket, and O'Neal hooked up to score. This has become the Lakers' preferred tactic for the opening game.

O'Neal plays too easily against this kind of 3-line interior player, as long as he gives the ball to him, he will either score or make free throws.

The ball was converted and Avery Johnson organized the attack. Kobe pressed every step of the way.

Avery Johnson passed the ball to Wilkins who cut to the basket and Wilkins scored on a layup.

The Lakers mostly gave the ball to O'Neal in the first quarter, and O'Neal played with ease, while the team's outside shooting percentage was low.

There were a lot of good chances that the starters didn't take advantage of.

The Spurs were more blossoming, and the rotation of Wilkins and Elliott left Campbell tired and a little overwhelmed on the defensive end.

Campbell didn't play well on the defensive end against such a fast-paced forward. On the offensive end, Wilkins scored a few.

The two sides of the bench played back and forth very lively, and the Lakers, who didn't get too many opportunities to perform yesterday, played back and forth with each other today.

Fisher and Van Exel played some tacit understanding on the outside, hitting back-to-back three-pointers.

In the second quarter, the situation changed in an instant.

The Spurs' defensive strategy against O'Neal has changed, not a pack, not a single defense.

Spurs head coach Bob Hill opted to let Dominic Wilkins go around the front line, and Greg Anderson patched the box to let Bruce Bowen go.

The penalty area was full of people, and O'Neill had no choice but to distribute the ball.

In the second quarter, Bowen shot 0 of 5 three-pointers, and Bowen turned pale.

At halftime, the Lakers 49:52 Spurs.
