On October 25, the Lakers' home opener of the new season started, and the arena was full.

Before the start of the game, the Lakers first held last season's championship ring presentation ceremony, and Boozer, Mo Williams, Bonner, and Thackeray, who had left the team, came to the scene to receive their rings and received warm applause.

All four of them stopped playing in the NBA, and both chose to retire, Boozer went to China to play in the CBA, and Thackeray joined the very unprofessional Japanese professional league.

Lakers owner Jim Buss gave a speech in which he especially thanked Guo Xu for his contribution to the Lakers, saying that without Guo Xu, there would be no Lakers today. The scene was awkward, and he heard the fans booing.

Little Bas knew why, and his heart was bleeding. Because of letting go of Guo Xu at the beginning, how many championships did the Lakers win? How much money did you make less? How much more scolding did they get? This is immeasurable.

Guo Xu received the championship ring in the finale and gave a speech. "This is just the beginning, and what awaits us is a dynasty. I promise that this time next year, we'll be here again to pick up the championship ring and raise a championship flag. ”

The fans applauded together, and the veterans who joined the team were also applauding, Guo Xu is the desire of the people. Little Bass smiled bitterly on the side, and when Guo Xu retired, his boss would still be questioned.

After the away team players came out, Lowry took the initiative to greet Guo Xu and say a few words.

Lowry's smile was a little bitter, he didn't have a chance to win the championship and didn't make a lot of money. In 2014, he renewed his contract for a long contract with "cabbage price", and now he regrets it very much.

In fact, Lori of Earth One is already much better than his own in the parallel world. As soon as he entered the league in 2006, he worked as a substitute for Guo Xu in the Suns, and won three championships with the team before leaving, he has no lack of honor and no pressure.

After the warm-up, the two sides started the game, and the Lakers had five: Guo Xu, Booker, Durant, Horford, and Adams.

Rockets five: Lowry, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza, Ryan Anderson, Capela.

Rocket manager Morey's idea of recruiting is mainly based on the cost performance of the players, which is about the same as the number of roads in the parallel world, but the core James Harden and several excellent benches are missing. The Rockets' bench lineup is mainly led by Louis Williams, and the others are almost all blue-collar, looking at the depth of the lineup, the Rockets are at a disadvantage across the board.

Adams jumped the ball and the game began.

Durant got the ball, Guo Xu got rid of Lowry under the cover of Adams without the ball as soon as he passed the half, received a pass from Durant and accelerated past Capela with a change of direction, and drove straight into the middle, smashing the ball with both hands. 2 to 0.

He hung the basket and threw both legs to the rebound, drawing applause from the crowd, and scoring his first goal of the season in this way was very morale-boosting.

The Rockets attacked, Guo Xu defended Lowry closely, and he wanted a big win in the opening game and would not release water.

Lowry has been improving in recent years, especially from the outside, hitting 2.8 three-pointers per game last season, shooting 38.8%. Guo Xu couldn't let him vote casually, he wanted to play his best.

Lowry is physically strong, and he can be called the No. 1 James, and he can easily squeeze through opponents against many tall guards. He couldn't squeeze Guo Xu out, Guo Xu's practice was particularly stable, and his reaction was fast and accurate.

Guo Xu stuck in a position so that Lowry couldn't speed up, and turned around and passed the ball after trying to break through.

Gordon held the ball and Capela blocked and broke through to be trapped, the Lakers formed a shrinking three-man to block the restricted area, and Gordon distributed the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner, who missed the basket with an open jumper.

Ariza has had a high shooting percentage in a single season on other teams, and he also shot more than 40% from three-point range twice in the playoffs, but he is an "iron slag" on the Rockets, I don't know why, maybe it's feng shui.

Adams grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and launched a counterattack, Guo Xu changed the direction of the two dribbles behind his back, attracted Gordon to make up for the defense and then shared the ball, Booker got a big open space on the right side and hit an easy three-point shot. 5 to 0.

When returning to the defense, Guo Xu and Booker clapped their hands to show encouragement.

After knowing that Wade joined the Lakers, Booker did not relax in the summer and spent two months practicing outside shooting. Tyrone Lue called him and told him to work out more, move away from the ball, and use Klay Thompson as a template.

The two have some similarities, both are types of people with average physical fitness and beautiful shooting movements. In the parallel world, the Suns need Booker to attack with the ball, and he has taken a well-rounded route and developed in the direction of the off-ball, his stats may be poor, but the shooting percentage will be higher.

In the parallel world, Booker scored 28 points in the long-range shooting competition, setting a major record. He has the potential to be a super-shooter, and the scouts positioned him as a shooter when he entered the draft.

Playing with the Lakers, Booker will never face a trap, and he doesn't have to think about the combination of sudden points and shots, but there are plenty of open opportunities. Of the five starters now, it seems that he is the least threatened, and who will he let go if the opponent does not let go?

The Rockets attacked, Lowry and Capela blocked and dismantled the offense, and Adams switched defenses in front of Lowry, and his awareness was very good. Guo Xu bypassed the big man and quickly formed a bag.

Lowry gave the ball to Capela, who was put in the high post, straight, with a more dumb expression than Forrest Gump.

Lowry ran Guo Xu to follow, Adams retreated two meters too lazy to care about Capela, who did not dare to shoot in the open space, did not dribble, and waited for Gordon to receive the ball and pass the ball from close range.

Capela is the bluest kind of blue-collar worker, and if he wants to score on the offensive end, he can only rely on the system and his teammates to feed him, and he does not have any independent offensive ability. Since entering the league in 2014, he hasn't played in the mid-to-long distance, which is a fantastic record. Last season, he averaged just 1.1 shots per game in the low post, hitting 0.3 shots, a 30.1 percent shooting percentage.

To put it bluntly, Capela doesn't have any means of scoring, other than picking up leaks under the basket. His average shot distance is the league's most recent 1.7, and the only sure way to score is a dunk, and his shots under the basket are likely to hit the iron.

Gordon and Anderson played blocking and dismantling, the routine was still very simple, Horford changed the defense very quickly, Gordon failed to break through, and Anderson received the ball and faced Booker, who switched defense, and his jump shot was missed.

Anderson is only good at catching and shooting, and Morey gave him an annual salary of 20 million purely out of illness.

The Rockets players retreated quickly enough, Guo Xu passed to Durant as a playmaker, and the two interior lines were pulled out to cover and create opportunities for the guards. Durant didn't pass the ball, and Ariza leaned back to the left and threw the ball in. 7 to 0.

He played too easily on his singles, without side interference, and he felt like he was sure of the ball.

Rocket boss Alexander watched the live broadcast at home, feeling very tired and unwilling to continue playing, but he hadn't thought about what to do next.

The Rockets can't make the playoffs, they can't sell for a good price if they don't look promising, and to make matters worse, the bad teams are not attractive to stars, and it will be difficult for them to trade for great stars. Without big-name stars, it's harder for teams to sell for a good price. The Rockets let go of Harrison Barnes before, and he doesn't regret it, knowing it's a bad contract.

Swinging to fight for a high-pick rookie? That doesn't help much in selling the team, and even the best rookies need time to develop.

Yao Ming helped Alexander make a lot of money back then, but the boss won't always have good luck.

In the first quarter, all five Lakers starters scored, and the Rockets couldn't defend the stars without a clip, and the role players made easy shots. There was a lot of pressure on the defensive end, and the Rockets players couldn't find a sense when they were attacking, and they couldn't break the Lakers' joint defense, and they hit the iron again and again.

The Lakers went crazy in the first quarter, leading by 25 points at 42-17......
