Paul then held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and Yi Jianlian took the initiative to mention the high position to block and dismantle.

It was clear that Paul's performance in that round won his approval.

Paul broke through and passed the ball back, and Yi Jianlian caught the ball and shot a high jumper.

"Huh!"

This ball Yi Jianlian showed his soft touch, and the basketball was hollow into the net.

After scoring a goal, he took the initiative to give Paul a high-five.

Bulls head coach Scott Skels was beaming on the sidelines.

He doesn't think the Bulls have the strength to beat the defending champion now, but the tacit cooperation shown by Yi Jianlian and Paul makes him believe that the team can do it in the future.

Sun Hao, and then hit Paul in the back.

He's certainly not as efficient as his back play, but the preseason game is all about the Lakers looking for a game feel.

And unlike Kobe Bryant's back play, his back play is all on the outside line, and he will not encroach on O'Neal's offensive space under the basket.

The Bulls still didn't have a bag, Sun Hao turned around and leaned back this time, and then turned around and broke through directly with a low center of gravity.

This change was uncontrollable during the training game, and the immature Paul was even more at a loss.

He tried to shoot Sun Hao's ball steal, but ended up shooting it into the air.

After Sun Hao broke through to the basket and attracted Chandler to help defend again, he stuffed the ball to O'Neal from close range.

Yi Jianlian showed his athletic talent and quickly assisted in the defense.

O'Neal didn't choose to play hard, but made another pass to Walker in the bottom corner.

Walker, happily shot another three-pointer.

"Huh!"

And then the ball went in again!

The cheers of the fans at the scene have exploded.

Not only because of Walker's excellent outside touch tonight, but also because of the Lakers' mercury offense this round.

They are even more certain that this Lakers team is a fantasy team.

Because only after the strength is strong to a certain extent, the game will become a visual enjoyment!

Or to put it another way, this is another team in the league that can be called "" after the previous championship team, the Mavericks.

And, it's the Lakers again!

Nocioni's layup was confiscated by O'Neal.

The big shark nests under the basket and no longer goes out, but the basket is still his forbidden area!

The ball is in Walker's hands, and Walker gives a long pass.

He is not only a tandem between instant kills, but also the engine of the team's fast break.

This time, Sun Hao pinned down the defense, and Finley received the ball and quickly attacked the flying body in the front court to score!

15 to 6!

In less than half a quarter, the score difference has moved towards double digits!

By the time the quarter was over, the score was already 32-16!

In the first quarter, the Lakers have led by nearly 20 points!

Such a score speaks volumes about the difference in quality between the two teams.

The same should be true for the defending champions who have been strengthened and the teams that are rebuilding.

The scene in this section also made a deep impression on the fans.

It was more than 7 minutes into the game, and Paul tried to break through Sun Hao head-on.

His speed was faster, but Sun Hao's prediction was very accurate to give the confrontation in advance, and he was forced to stop the ball and was cut off by Sun Hao.

This scene is also very similar to the portrayal of Paul beating Delon in history.

Unstoppable, unstoppable, Paul's career debut started a bit of a hell of a game.

However, awesome people can always find space to play, and the empty catch he gave after a block with Yi Jianlian was just right, and Yi Jianlian split Huashan with a one-handed empty catch, locking up a top five ball today.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bulls 102-85 in the preseason opener.

The final point difference was due to the fact that the Lakers had begun to go all-in on the bench and bench in the second half.

When the game is over, the Lakers' 12-man activation roster, everyone has scored.

Sun Hao scored 17 points in the first half of the game, and it is worth mentioning that he only made 7 shots, and the efficiency of 6 of 7 shots was terrifying.

Payton and Mourning haven't found much form yet, but Walker has been impressive.

He played nearly 30 minutes and scored a team-high 20 points, plus seven rebounds and five assists.

This kind of performance has made Los Angeles fans feel good about him and even develop love.

In fact, Walker, who is not a wasteful voter, has always been an All-Star level, how can people not love it!

The Lakers have made a lot of money so far.

Zhu Fangyu also got a chance to play in the game, and she felt good, shooting 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scoring 6 points and 2 boards.

On the Bulls' side, Yi Jianlian's top scorer was Yi Jianlian, who scored a team-high 25 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks on 9-of-19 shooting, Paul had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Chandler had 9 points and 9 boards.

Although the team lost, the Bulls felt that the future was promising.

Of course, at the end of the game, Paul's expression was not very good.

Before the game, his "playoffs as soon as next year" had already shown his mind, the team could lose, but the way he lost was a little difficult for him to accept.

"Your passing is much better than when I first entered the league", "I am very relieved to play with you", "I am waiting to see you play in the playoffs next year"......

After Sun Hao saw it, he pulled him and said a few words of encouragement when he shook hands.

Paul's mood seemed noticeably better.

This scene is also very similar...... Jordan definitely couldn't do it.

Jordan might just say, "Boy, you're playing like a piece of tonight?"

Sun Hao's strength is constantly moving closer to Jordan, but his personality is completely different from Jordan.

Especially when treating the little brother of his own fans, he must be doubly cared for.

……

Time flies, and all 7 preseason games are over in the blink of an eye.

The Lakers have won 7 games and are undefeated.

Although the pre-season results are not counted in the statistics, they still tell a lot.

In history, the 2012 Lakers Nash, Kobe, Gasol, and Howard's "new F4" lineup looked more gorgeous than the old F4, but they lost all 8 games in the preseason.

At first, the fans and the team didn't care, but when the regular season started, it was a big surprise, with a wave of three consecutive defeats at the beginning, and the new F4 was also dissolved after a season.

Now this Lakers team is the other extreme, which also makes fans look forward to the new season.

After the preseason, the Lakers also made a final wave of layoffs.

Zhu Fangyu successfully stayed and became the 15th person of the Lakers!

In 7 preseason games, he averaged 10.2 minutes of playing time per game, which is not much or even a little less, but he can average 5 points per game, hit 1.4 three-pointers per game, and shoot 39% from three-point range!

This performance clearly pleased the coaching staff and management.

In other words, in a limited time, Zhu Fangyu seized the opportunity!

And after successfully staying in the team, he also became the first domestic small forward to land in the NBA in the real sense!

Some people may ask, the three-point line of the NBA and the CBA is different, how did Zhu Fangyu do it differently from Wang Zhizhi at the beginning, and adapt to it in a short time.

The answer is, talent plus hard work plus luck.

Talent has also appeared in other European shooters, such as Ginobili, who was relatively average in three points when he was in Europe, and was even complained about by Popovich when he first arrived at the Spurs, but he developed three points into his own weapon in a short period of time.

Zhu Fangyu may have mediocre talent in other aspects, but this one is different.

The most direct evidence is that Zhu Fangyu in history was a big forward plus a dunk at the beginning, and then changed to a small forward at the request of the national team to practice three points.

And he practiced three points in a short period of time, and then became the first person in China to score three points.

Hard training is also indispensable.

Although he said that he couldn't get into the NBA, after learning that he was selected, he had already started training in private.

Of course, the three-point thing also depends on the feel, and his luck in the preseason is also good.

Talent plus hard work and luck, he has all three elements of success, and it makes sense to stay in the team.

……

After the preseason of each team, ESPN made a wave of predictions and rankings for the 2005~2006 season, as in the past.

In this list, the Lakers are undoubtedly at the top of the list.

ESPN's analysis: One championship team has only lost 42-year-old Malone to its rotation team this past summer, but they have added 29-year-old Antoine Walker, 37-year-old Gary Payton, and 35-year-old Alonzo Mourning; With such a team, if he can't be number one, the only possibility is uncontrollable injuries.

The analysis is simple, but simple and convincing.

The reinforcement of the lineup is clearly visible, not to mention the improvement of Sun Hao's strength as the core.

In addition to the Lakers, there are also a number of teams on this list that are attracting attention.

Among them, the Wizards, who have just changed coaches, are second on this list.

Everyone felt that the Wizards regretted being reborn after switching to Carlisle, and that naturally included ESPN.

"This is a coach who makes a team better when it comes to it, the Wizards are already one of the best teams in the league, and if it gets better, a championship will be their only goal."

The Pistons, Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Nets, and Nuggets are ranked 3~8.

The Bulls are ranked 20th on this list.

"Chris Paul has shown how good he is, and Yi Jianlian has shown that he can at least be a qualified second-in-command, give them time to grow, and maybe really like Paul said, they will make the playoffs soon."

was a good look, and the Lakers players were also very excited, and they were constantly screaming during training games.

That excitement didn't rise to the point of pride, though, because O'Neal shot everyone like he did in the playoffs last season.

"We're not just going to win this 1 championship, but before we get more titles, show me your focus, who didn't do a good job of being careful that I punched his ass."

Humor and ruthlessness coexist, this is also the big shark.

But in Los Angeles, who wouldn't dare to listen to the big sharks?

The Lakers' opponents in the season opener are...... Mavericks!

That's right, it's a fierce material as soon as it comes up.

As for why it's not the Pistons or the Wizards or the Spurs, there's a reason.

The Pistons just finished the Finals with the Lakers, the Spurs are generally not suitable for the opening game for a long time, and the Wizards are a bit wasteful in the opening game, so in comparison, the Mavericks are the best choice.

Stern's ability in this regard is second, and no one dares to say first.

The biggest move of the Mavericks this past summer was to re-sign Bale and retain the team's core roster.

As for the centre-forward position, Dampier's contract is too long for them to handle, and the team can only expect Diop's progress.

However, in the preseason, Marquis Daniels, Josh Howard, and Devin Harris have all shown their improvement, and the strength of the Mavericks is still only increasing compared to last season.

Of course, it is Kobe Bryant who determines the ceiling of this team, or his style of play.

What he chooses to do after last season's losing season is also the focus of everyone's attention.

But no matter what, the reunion between Kobe and Sun Hao, the grievances between OK, did not end with the end of last season, but became more exciting.

After all, grievances, like wine, the more time passes, the more people look forward to it.

Stories that have lasted throughout their careers, like Russell and Chamberlain in antiquity, are the talk of the town.

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

In addition to the unmissable matchups, the Lakers will also have a championship ring award ceremony in the opener as the defending champions.

This ticket is hard to find, and there are a lot of Hollywood movie stars in the front row.

An hour before the start of the game, under the watchful eyes of the fans in the field, the Lakers' championship ring ceremony began.

Old Bass is particularly fond of this championship and is not stingy in investing in rings.

Compared to the original championship ring of the Mavericks, or compared to the Pistons last year, this ring is one size bigger.

The same thing is that it is inlaid with diamonds, and there is also the familiar gold-plated Lakers logo, which will make people unconsciously show a "wow" expression at a glance.

Of course, Old Bass doesn't care much more than that.

This time the award ceremony was different from the previous ones, in addition to Stern, there were also many Lakers meritorious players on the scene.

Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Jerry West, James Worthy, ...... Of course, there is no Lord Belle.

These are all all-time championships in Lakers history, and they are exactly the same number of Lakers players who need to be awarded rings.

Buss Sr. invited them all to the Staples Center this time and asked them to present rings to the Lakers players.

Looking at these celebrities on the court, the Lakers players off the court felt extremely excited.

This arrangement is unique in history, and perhaps only the Lakers have been able to arrange so many superstars.

It was truly an award ceremony like no other.

After making sufficient preparations, the on-site award ceremony began.

The management and coaching staff of the team who get the ring first.

Phil Jackson laughed happier than Grandpa KFC this time.

Not counting the two championship rings from his playing days, this is also the tenth of his coaching career.

And Jackson's approach was also hippie, he wore the other nine rings on his hand, and by the time he put this one on, both of his hands were completely covered with rings.

This made the fans at the scene wet, and the highest level of pretending to be forced is nothing more than that!

This scene is destined to become the focus of heated discussions among fans after the game.

However, fans may never have imagined that what happened after the award ceremony would make them completely forget about Jackson's pretense.

PS: Tomorrow the update will be restored.
