A few days passed quickly, and the morale of the Lakers did not recover very well.

On the day of the opening match on October 29, it was still muddy and unrefreshed.

This is normal, Nash and Gasol are still missing, and Kobe Bryant has only returned to that ghost in the preseason, what else is he playing? Is it just this group of "mercenaries"? Mike. D'Antoni is actually a bit of a lack of confidence, because first of all, his tactics need the No. 1 position, and Steve. Nash is not there, and at the moment he can only use Steve. Blake and Jordan. On top of Famar, these two people are obviously not qualified to implement their own "7 seconds or less" tactical system.

Then the lineup was uneven, and Kobe Bryant returned to a very poor state, for which he was also disappointed.

Although he knew that the Achilles tendon injury was a basketball player's fatal injury, Kobe Bryant still pushed his feet, but he always held on to the silver lining.

At the very least, you can recover an average of 20+ points per game.

But in the preseason, Kobe Bryant. Bryant, at most, has the ability to average 12+~13+ points per game, which is almost halved compared to last season! So put it in Mike. D'Antoni's situation is that the number one star is far from recovering as expected due to injury. Steve who best suits his tactical system. Nash, also because of his aging body, his injuries have worsened, and his comeback has been delayed. The only offensive strong point on the inside Paul. Gasol is also still recovering from surgery and is estimated to be in his teens or twenty games before returning to the team...... This situation simply makes him crazy, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

So when asked by reporters before the start of the game about the Lakers' goals for this season, D'Antoni could only conservatively say that he would strive to enter the playoffs.

Obviously, this answer made Lakers fans not very satisfied.

This game, although it is broadcast live across the country, does not make people feel much interest. In the live room, Charles. Barkley was a little listless and said: "The difference between strength and weakness is too great, although Kobe Bryant forced to participate in the opening game, but looking at his preseason state, he has not returned to the star standard at all, compared with last year, it has declined too much." In such a comparison, almost all positions of the Lakers have been completely blown out by opponents, and the bench depth is not as good as the Clippers, this city derby has lost its meaning. ”

It may be that seeing Barkley and O'Neill is too choked. T TV still switched back to the old group, allowing Barkley and Kenny. Smith explains. O'Neill was assigned to Reggie. Miller's group.

"Yes, the comparison of the strength of the two teams is already very different! The Clippers have done a good job of strengthening this season, and the main lineup has been retained, and after a season of running-in, they are a team that could compete for the Western Conference championship or even the championship this season. Paul + Griffin + DeAndrew, it's a very good inside and outside configuration, with attack and defense. "Kenny. Smith said: "The starting lineup from the Lakers is out, let's see, oh, it's PG Steve. Blake SG Bryant. Bryant SF Wesley. Johnson PF Jordan. Hill C hot money. I have to say that compared with last year, this starting lineup is simply a world apart, and the gap is too big. ”

"The main lineup of the Clippers is PG Chris. Paul SGJ.J. Reddick SF Jared Dudley PF Blake Griffin C DeAndrew Jordan. Compared with last year, this lineup is younger and more balanced, especially in the No. 2 position, Reddick is more than the aging Caron. Butler made a strong cut, so that the Clippers also stood out in the No. 2 position, which was not very good. "Kenny. Smith said: "And the Lakers' No. 2 position is not necessarily an absolute strong point, when was the last time this kind of thing happened?" 90s, right? ”

Barkley is also not optimistic about the Lakers, saying: "If Kobe Bryant is okay with the Achilles tendon, then I bet that he can still average 24+~25+ points per game this season, and there is still hope to hold the first or second percentile position." But in the preseason, I can see that this injury is extremely serious for Kobe's ability, although he doesn't want the black mamba to disappear, but he has really withdrawn from the ranks of the league's superstars. ”

"Charles, I think you also retired because of an Achilles tendon problem, right?"

"Me? I'm not! Barkley said, "A ruptured quadriceps tendon in my left knee, you know, Kenny, it's the only medical injury term I remember clearly in my life." "Kenny. Smith nodded and said, "Yes, what athletes are most afraid of is injury, once you are entangled in injury, no matter how talented you are, you will fall to the ground." ”

"Kobe. Bryant, the Black Mamba, didn't expect to get out of this spell, and fell on the torn Achilles tendon. ”

"If you want me to say that he shouldn't be in a hurry to come back now, because his current state is obviously not ready for an NBA-level challenge."

"It is said that the Lakers' coaching staff and management are against this, but you also know what Kobe Bryant's status is on the Lakers, except for the resurrection of old Buss, no one can stop him."

"Alas, the old supergiant, the twilight hero." Barkley seemed to think of himself, and said with some rare sadness.

"But there are still highlights in this game, who do you think will play better in this game between DeAndre and Hot? The two of them should be considered the top blue-collar players in the league right now, right? "Kenny. Smith asked.

"Of course it's hot, do you need to say that?" Barkley said: "Do you think a person who has no honor deserves to be compared to a hot?" ”

"DeAndrew. Jordan let go before the start of the season, he wants to become a first-class interior player in the future, and he wants to compete for the NBA rebounding title this season! ”

"The king of rebounds?" Barkley laughed a few times and said, "Come on, our Mr. Jordan really has a big mouth, how many rebounds per game did he average last season?" 7+ per game, right? Dare to boast that he wants to win the rebounding king??? I'm optimistic that this game will blow him up on the rebounding end! ”

Barkley actually underestimated Jordan Jr., because he has indeed improved rapidly this season, not to mention that his average rebounds per game have increased by nearly half, and he did win the NBA rebounding king in the 13-14 season. In the future, he has also been elected as a double-first-team center, and even if the interior is declining now, it will have to stand out from the crowd.

But unfortunately, Jordan, who was full of confidence tonight, will soon doubt his life.

Because Tang Qian is now, the defensive end has evolved to the point where it is close to a monster.

In the 90s, he was a blue-collar overlord, let alone now?

"Hey, Dongfang, I heard that you signed a big premium contract, how is it, isn't it cool?" Today's NBA players know how to deal with those "lip readers", and when they speak, they deliberately don't open their mouths much, and don't reveal their mouth shapes much, so that it is almost impossible to guess it.

This is especially true when it comes to saying obscure words.

The so-called policy is the same in the NBA league.

Tang Qian glanced at him, smiled "hehe", and said, "Aren't you also a contract of 10 million, such a premium, you can take it with confidence?" Tang Qian was different from him, he didn't cover his mouth at all, and blurted out irony. You're crazy! I'm telling you! This year's NBA rebounding champion is about to be replaced! Your time is over! "Jordan Jr. looks like he's improved a lot in the offseason, so the new season starts with a lot of ambition and pride.

"You want to grab my rebounding champion?" Tang Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Really, buddy, even if you eat Wei. You. I can't do it just now, really, I don't lie to you. "You're just lucky! 12+ rebounding king, this is simply a parallel level! "DeAndrew. Jordan said confidently, "I'm definitely going to beat you this year!" ”

Jordan Jr. spent a summer rebounding this offseason, and he thinks he's surpassed everyone else in the league.

Including Tang Qian and Howard.

"haha~" Tang Qian stood in the middle circle and smiled: "Then you can try it, Texan?" I'm waiting for you to challenge me. ”

"You don't need to say that!" As the referee threw the ball into the sky, Jordan Jr. jumped quickly, he was confident in his height, arm span, and bounce speed, so he didn't think he would lose to Tang Qian. But this ball was finally touched by the Lakers' No. 29 first, and then handed to the team's point guard, Steve. Blake.

Just after dribbling across half court, Blake heard someone on the left side of the three-point line beckoning for the ball: "Give it to me!" ”

As soon as I turned my head, it wasn't Kobe. And who is Bryant?

Kobe Bryant wants the ball? Steve. Blake subconsciously passed it on, but soon, he regretted it.

This Kobe is no longer the Kobe of the past, give him a brutal job, alas......

J.J. Redick also wants to take the opportunity to step on Kobe, not that he has any personal enmity with Kobe, it's just that this league is survival of the fittest and cruel competition, so in order to win a bigger contract in the future, the best way is to shine against star players. Kobe Bryant is an absolute star in the league, and now his fame is still there, and it is not too much to "take advantage of your illness to kill you".

The NBA league has no sympathy, the so-called respect and respect, that is also a matter after the game, in the game, who will sympathize with the enemy and sympathize with the opponent? They all want to explode to death!

After all, in this way, you can get ahead, you can get a big contract, and you can make a name for yourself in a capitalist country.

Bryant saw the eager look in his opponent's eyes, his eyes became cold, and he suddenly said something that J.J. Redick remembered deeply: "I'm going to score 40 points on your head tonight." ”

Reddick was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth naturally showed disdain and disbelief.

If you hadn't torn your Achilles tendon last year, I'm still convinced, but you're the kind of dog you played in the preseason. state, and you still want to give me 40 points? What is this not a dream?

"Bryant, your time is over." "It's the time for young people. ”

"You're old!"

Kobe Bryant looked at him, broke through with a step, and immediately turned the latter into slag, and then easily took off and scored with one hand.

Bang~

The Lakers took the lead first.

"DeAndrew, you pay attention, it's still Kobe after all, don't get distracted!" After Paul reminded him, he began to dribble across the halfcourt, but when he passed the ball, a black shadow made a save like an arrow, made a direct steal, and dribbled and dunked.

In the Stamps Center, a huge curtain rang out: "Kobe. Bryant! ”

What the? Why is this guy so fast? Did you just guess the path of my pass?

Paul was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart.

still continues to preside over the team's offense.

He singled Steve. Blake one, although the latter has a positive defensive attitude, but his ability is limited, so he was easily scored by the former.

4-2。

The Lakers are still Kobe, and he seems to have a bit of a bloodthirsty urge today, breaking through Redick again and getting into the Clippers interior attack.

"Bryant, watch out for your old bones!" The defender is Griffin, who is now a representative of the violent flow in the PF position, and his physique is also very strong, so he thinks that he can force the interior attack of No. 24 with his physical advantage.

In the preseason, he also looked at the data of the Lakers' No. 24, shooting less than 20% in 5 games, and shooting 0 in the last game of 16, with a matchbox-like bounce, which is simply a classic car that is about to be scrapped.

He thinks that he has grown another season of himself, which is enough to stop.

However, he is about to pay the price for his decision.

Because he thought that Kobe, who was already a matchbox bouncing, was facing him head-on, it was a blow in the air, and then when he was still stunned, he made a "bang" and slammed it into the basket with one hand!

The referee blew the whistle, the defense fouled, the goal was counted, and the Lakers added a free throw on the 24th.

After Kobe Bryant landed, he glanced at Griffin and said in a cold voice, "Do you think you can guard against me?" ”

After saying that, he went to the free throw line, took an easy shot, and hit the basketball.

The ball was a bit of a faceless for Griffin, and he wanted to get back to the court on the next ball, so he caught the ball and slashed towards the Lakers' basket. The bounce height is very high, but unfortunately, it is useless. The current Tang Qian is not the Tang Qian of last season at all, do you want to dunk in front of him? Or is it a strong buckle on the front? There is almost no chance!

Syllable~

A very accurate big hat covered Griffin, and then Tang Qian took the ball is a long pass in the half, and the camera lens turned, I don't know when, the Lakers No. 24 has already flown down and rushed to the front of everyone.

Damn it! What the!

Paul was the only one who had a chance to defend Kobe Bryant, and when he saw No. 24 get the ball, he knew that this guy wasn't going to pass it out again. I'm sure I'll do it myself!

But Kobe, after you were seriously injured, how much power did you have last year?

Paul's defensive positioning is very accurate, after all, he is a player who has been defending for many years, and his ability is undoubted.

But just like the Clippers No. 3 thought, Kobe Bryant didn't plan to stop the ball, and he didn't plan to pass it anymore.

He just wanted to release it, to release his anger and pain during this time.

hat？ What does he do? Did he actually jump? Aren't you afraid of being made by yourself to hit someone with a ball???

Yes, Paul's position is standing well, but he forgot that the NBA league has been in the league since David. After Stern took the helm, it was a predominantly ornamental alliance. Any rule, after a conflict with ornamentality, must automatically take a back seat and avoid its edge. For example, if the cap hits the ball, then it is rare to blow a defensive foul, unless it is too obvious, but there is no cap, as long as there is slight physical contact, it is estimated that the "body hair whistle" will be blown.

Now, what Kobe Bryant has to do is to block on the defensive end.

He wanted to make a picture that was extremely ornamental.

What the? Just one thought.

He's going to fly to dunk Paul!

Paul's height is shorter than Nash, Kobe Bryant once leaped over Nash's violent dunk, if Paul doesn't move, then it must be a humiliation!

Paul is worthy of being the leader of the defensive lineup for many years, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately chose to jump and want to block the ball.

Even if you can't prevent it, you can't be completed by Kobe, otherwise the momentum of the opening game will be completely suppressed.

It must be known that the opening game, which is still nominally the home court of the Lakers, was continuously split by the opponent's top card at the beginning, which will be a very bad sign for the ambitious Los Angeles Clippers in the new season.

So Chris. Paul was determined that the ball would be fouled as well.

"Bryant is a one-man fast break, and now the Clippers have only Paul in the half, what will Bryant do? Is it a stop-and-go or a Euro step layup? oh~my~ He jumped up directly, this is to be, this is to split the buckle from the other person!! "Lakers home commentator Beal. McDonald was a little surprised. "Kobe Bryant is a little anxious about this ball, his physical condition may not allow him to complete this kind of ball, he ...... Gosh！！！ Entered!! Storm Buckle !! Bryant. Bryant violently dunked Chris. Paul!!! Bryant. Bryant violently dunked Chris. Paul!!! Halfway through the sentence, another live commentator, Stu. Lantez couldn't help but scream suddenly.

Slam dunk is originally an exciting fancy style of play, not to mention a violent dunk between people? Or is it Kobe's one-man dunk for Kobe, who is recovering from injury???

"It's incredible! How high Kobe Bryant's ball jumps! And it's full of power, like clockwork! "Bill. McDonald said, "Paul was all detained by him!! ”

The dunk flew out, of course, a bit exaggerated, but it did knock Paul back in the air and slam it into the net with one hand.

The visual impact is very different from last season's dunk.

This is a dunk that tends to be fierce in a fierce way, and it was already difficult for Kobe Bryant to make it last season, and he did it reluctantly, not to mention that the effect was not good, and it was very likely to hurt himself. The physical function of a thirty-four or five-year-old has long been incomparable with that of twenty-four or five.

Kobe Bryant is well aware of the changes in his physical condition, and he has been fine-tuning his game style from time to time according to the changes in his body. If you look at Kobe Bryant's videos for each period of time, the way he attacks is obvious. This is also the reason why he can average 27+ points per game at the age of 34, otherwise it will remain the same, and after his body declines, he will be easily eliminated by the league.

Maddy, Carter, Iverson, including Wade in the back, are all representatives of little change in their style of play, so after the peak of their bodies, their decline speed is visible to the naked eye. After all, not everyone, it's LeBron. James's kind of alien body.

So this kind of dunk, Kobe himself can't remember how long he hasn't tried it.

After he landed, he couldn't help but hammer his chest, as if he was venting, as if he was demonstrating, as if he was annunciating.

Declare yourself, the peak version of yourself, and return.

Watching No. 24 take all the points in front of the Lakers in one go, Chris. Paul's heart was in turmoil, especially the dunk just now, he obviously felt the change in Kobe. He was actually dunked by Kobe Bryant last season, but the impact is not comparable to this ball. This ball...... It's like going back to his rookie year, and what the Lakers are standing on is the super scorer who blocks and kills, and the monster who can easily score 35+ points per game.

In addition, he also felt the strength of the other party, which increased dramatically compared to last season.

Last season was Kobe Bryant's lightest time, at one point dropping below 200 pounds. But for now...... Paul carefully looked at the man in front of him again, and he suddenly estimated that the former's weight may have exceeded 220 pounds, or even 230 pounds is not impossible!

It's normal to recuperate for a long time and gain weight, but ...... He clearly felt that the No. 24 of the Lakers was not fat, not fat, but real, solid pure muscles!!

This...... Are you kidding me? He's not afraid to again. Scrap your body?

Gain so much weight in one go? When you're young, you don't necessarily be able to withstand it.

Chris. Paul didn't understand, but Kobe Bryant understood, and he finally knew what Tang Qian meant when he said "this peak is not the other peak" that day. Not only his physical functions, but also his various attributes, in fact, have quietly reached the strongest value of his career. For example, the current weight is the "Little Ponylon" period after he flew solo, and the maximum weight used to exceed 230+ pounds. However, the load on his body was too great at the time, and he lost it in the second season to avoid injury. Obviously, this is not a problem this season.

Miraculously compatible!

The flame in Kobe's eyes burned higher and higher, more than ten years of game experience, physical fitness and tonnage at his peak...... Yourself, what reason do you have not to play a season that Jordan didn't play?

Maybe Jordan would be stronger than himself if he had this kind of opportunity, but it's a pity...... He didn't.

Isn't it???

This season, I'm going to fight from start to finish!!

Not a second is spared!!

The Clippers were clearly overwhelmed by Kobe's opening wave. Dudley missed the shot, and Tang Qian grabbed the defensive rebound. He passed the ball out, and then suddenly turned his head to Little Jordan, who didn't touch the hair, and teased: "Hey, Texan, Kobe Bryant said that this game will cut 40 points, or do I have one?" ”

"What?" Little Jordan was stunned.

"I'm going to grab 20 rebounds in this game."

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to cover 5 more, no, 78,910 caps."

"What do you think?"

PS: At the beginning of the new season, let's see how the Lakers buck the trend and write a legend.

Or is it sent by the big chapter, Xiaozi is full of sincerity, right? Haha~ Let's count the tickets and comfort them? Hey~
