"Welcome to Access SportsNet's All-American live-streamed NBC game, Lakers vs. Houston, I'm Gael Goodrich."

"I'm James Worthy."

"James, long time no see, how is life after retiring?"

"You know, getting married, getting divorced, being an analyst, I don't think it's fun to play." Worthy and Angela Wilder just divorced this year.

"Of course, it's the most fun to compete against the best people in the world on the professional stage." Goodrich smacked his lips, as if recalling the glory days spent with West.

"NOT TO MENTION ANYTHING ELSE, THE COMBINATION OF KOBE AND O'NEAL REMINDS ME OF SHOWTIME, BUT THERE IS A ME MISSING IN THEIR SHOWTIME!"

"That's the same, I wonder if Hori, who was exchanged for Ceballos, can replace your role?"

"Replace 30 percent, he's not even a starter."

"Hahahaha, James, you're so candid. But I think it's more than 30%, so let's wait and see. ”

"With Kobe Bryant's return, the Lakers' starting lineup for this game is PG Kobe Bryant, SG Eddie Jones, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Elden Campbell C, Shaquille O'Neal."

"The Lakers have a very good lineup, they have the offensive threat of Wonder Boy Kobe, and the big shark O'Neal, as well as a sharp outside blockade. There are very few outside players who can play well against the Lakers. ”

"That's right, the media is touting O'Neal's dominance, and no one knows that the real killer feature of this team is their forward group, and their backcourt defensive intensity is second only to the Bulls led by Jordan Pippen."

"Arguably their only weakness is Campbell's defense of the mobile No. 4 position, and it doesn't seem wise for the Lakers to sign Campbell this year with a three-year, $7 million salary."

"But Campbell has had a good performance against a twin-tower team or for Shaq to play offensive space, and I don't think he's had a negative effect on the Lakers."

"Lakers recruit Horry is sitting on the bench and we have to admire West's vision. Several of the players he's acquired this summer have already shone brightly. Bruce Bowen used his defense to sit firmly in the starting lineup, Big Ben even gave Stockton a hot pot feast in the last game, and Fisher also has very good defensive and shooting ability. I don't know what kind of effect this recruitment will bring. ”

"Inside information, Ben, Bruce and Horry were all brought by Kobe. Our wonder boy seems to have just entered the league and is looking for his Pippen and Rodman? ”

"The current Houston and Lakers are both 10-2 and tied for first place in the West, and the winner of this game will temporarily sit on the first place in the West."

"The Houston lineup is PG Matt Maloney, SG Mario Elie, SF Clyde Drexler, PF Charles Barkley, C Hakeem Olajuwon."

"Can Houston get revenge? Presumably, after the loss in the last game, their coach has done a lot of research on the Lakers. ”

"The Big Three are really strong, but they don't have a decent outside point guard, whether it's Mario Ely or Drexler, it's very difficult to defend point guards."

"It also has to do with the league format, after the Magic and Assassins retired, the good ball handlers, the offensive creators, were mostly played by the stars of the team, not the point guards."

"That's true, but it's often hard for teams like Kobe Bryant or Penny Hardaway to deal with point guards."

。。。。。。

Rudy Tomjanovic has prepared a lot for this game, and in his opinion, the Lakers are the only team in the West that can pose a threat to the Big Three.

After the last defeat, he learned a lot. First of all, Drexler cannot be used as a sapper, and he must play an excellent offensive performance to share the physical exertion of Olajuwon and Barkley.

If the game goes to overtime again, the older Houston will still not be a match for the young Lakers. We must get rid of the Lakers as soon as possible.

It's hard, and the Lakers have O'Neal and Kobe Bryant two sharp knives that can cut through the defense. O'Neal can be handed over to Olajuwon to deal with, but what about Kobe?

Rudy Tomjanovic thought about it for a long time, and he decided to let Mario Eli take the lead against Kobe. The 1.96m95kg heavy guard can form a power suppression for Kobe.

It would be nice if the team also had an outside defender, and Houston has a thinner roster depth than the average championship contender because of the superstar trade.

Tomjanovic is already reacting to the team's hierarchy that the forward guard must be further strengthened if he wants to win the title.

His ideal player would be Grant Hill, but that's completely out of the question. Hill is the current Pistons' baby, and his trade value can't even be compared to the current Big Three.

I don't know what kind of move Houston management will make, I heard that they are in contact with the Suns and Mavericks.

But for now, Tomjanovic needs to think about how to face this game.

"Shaq, be careful. It's going to be a tough game. Speaking to O'Neill in the dressing room before the game, the Big Three will be harder to beat this time around, and it's almost impossible to beat them until they're exhausted.

"But it will be us who will win." O'Neill held out his hand.

"Absolutely." Bryant punches him.

The players walked into the court one after another, and Kobe Bryant moved his body on the sidelines.

Bryant took the ball and came to a crotch dunk. It caused a burst of cheers from the fans of the Great Western Forum Arena. They love Kobe Bryant's creativity in the air.

Then Kobe Bryant tried to play a long-range three-pointer, and he hit consecutive shots with a good hand.

"Oh my God, this kid can really stir up the emotions of the audience." The Great Western Forum Arena was boiling under Kobe's ultra-long three-pointers, and they had never seen a shot like this before.

Bryant felt like he was in great shape today. All the bruises caused by Malone have healed, and the 3-day rest has brought his physical condition back to its peak.

"Kobe, you're going to lose badly." Drexler found the rookie he was optimistic about, and he hit him mercilessly.

"Clyde, let's talk big about winning the game."

Houston beat the Warriors 120-115 yesterday in a back-to-back on the road.

But the Warriors' poor defense didn't take much of their stamina, and it was evident from the scores in the game that the two sides played each other. On the offensive end of the Big Three, you don't need to consume much physical energy to score.

"Shaq, are you ready?" Olajuwon made it to the center circle.

"What?" O'Neill questioned.

"Ready to fail?"

"Old fellow, has the scar from last time healed?" O'Neill was angry, this old guy always likes to talk big.

When the referee tosses the ball high in the air, the game is announced.
