Lori was completely blown up by Guo Xu, constantly exposing his shortcomings, and he couldn't give full play to his strengths.

Lowry's height and reach are not outstanding in the NBA, and he is strong enough to withstand power forwards, and he weighs nearly 95 kilograms this year, resulting in slower lateral movements. He had a headache when he saw Guo Xu counterattacking, and when the distance was close, Guo Xu would use his speed to get rid of him, and when the distance was far, Guo Xu would rush to shoot three points when he faced him.

In the first quarter, Guo Xu made 4 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, and Lowry made 1 of 4 shots and 0 of 1 three-pointers, scoring 2 points and 2 assists.

It's not like a battle between star point guards, it's more like a superstar abusing a rookie. Lowry's style of play doomed him to suffer against star point guards, and players who can shoot are not bad at playing against him.

Today, Lowry is miserable, he can't stand up to Guo Xu by strength, and it is difficult to successfully break through. Rory, who didn't break through, was just an ordinary role player and couldn't drive his teammates.

Barkley commented: "Even though I can see Jason against the big man every season, I still surprise me with his defense against Lowry, maybe it's the use of Chinese kung fu on the court? ”

Kenny Smith asked, "Shackle, have you seen him practice kung fu?" How good is he? ”

O'Neill smiled: "I've seen it, it's the feeling in the movie." He's faster and stronger than Bruce Lee, and he can really hit 10 with his bare hands alone, and the people in the taekwondo team know it. If you can use your legs, Mayweather can't beat him, this is Mayweather himself admitted. ”

Listening to the one-sided commentary of the game, the fans were bored, and the commentators chatted about gossip to make them even more excited. TNT's live ratings have outmined other TV stations, and it has to do with O'Neal knowing a lot of inside information.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a super luxury rotation lineup, Felton, Wade, Carter, Tucker, and Harrell.

The Lakers' veterans are all All-Star selections and have a lot of experience. Tucker is a 3-and-D player, and second-year rookie Harrell has the most physical qualities. Today, perimeter defensive blue-collar Roberson and Zubac are fringe men.

The Rockets' bench lineup is very shabby, with a number of players who can't be named by ordinary fans, led by Louis Williams. Power forward Terrence Jones is weak in offense and defense, Sam Decker and Corey Brewer are inconsistent in shooting, and all abilities are just average.

Because of the butterfly effect, the 76ers were supposed to be joined by the Rockets, Tucker and Harrell joined the Lakers, and Beverley was with the Heat. The Rockets are not just missing Harden and are unlikely to make the playoffs this season.

The backup center, a first-round rookie selected by the Rockets named Jacob Poeltl, sounds like he came out of a werewolf family in Twilight. HE IS A LITTLE LONGER THAN IN THE DRAFT, 216CM TALL AND WEIGHS 108 KG, HE IS A GOOD ATHLETE AND HAS MORE POTENTIAL.

It's a pity that Jacob doesn't have the range, which means he can't beat Harrell, a half-orc who is stronger than himself, and is always held out of the box. When the Lakers launched a quick counterattack, Jacob couldn't have won Harrell by running a race.

After Guo Xu rested, Felton was also able to launch a quick counterattack. He is called "Fat Dun" by fans, he is 185CM tall, weighs 93 kg, and has a somewhat round body. Like Lowry, he takes advantage of his weight and is not slow. Even if his fitness is declining now, he can keep up with the pace of the game, so Terry has little chance to play.

Lowe isn't a point guard who is good at playmaking, he's more of a shooting guard and likes to take the ball on his own. The Rockets lacked playmakers on the bench and couldn't play tactics, and the rotation lineup was suppressed by the Lakers, who scored more points, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 30 points.

In the second half, the main players came back to play a wave, and the Lakers led by 42 points at halftime 78-36.

In the opener, the Lakers players were serious about defense, and the Rockets didn't score 20 points in two consecutive quarters. After Adams and Horford played, the Rockets players couldn't get into the box at all.

The two complement each other on the defensive end, with Horford in charge of blocking and pick-and-roll, and Adams interfering with shots in the restricted area to protect rebounds in the backcourt.

Horford was injured many times when he was with the Thunder, and his form declined for a while, but he partnered with Guo Xu last season and played a season of healthy basketball, and this year he is back to the top, and his mobility has become stronger.

Adams has no shortcomings on the defensive end except for moving slower, he doesn't jump around, and will jam opponents and use his height and arm span to interfere with shots. He can control the number of fouls and protect the backcourt rebounding ability is first-class, and the Lakers don't need him to give rebounds to the guard, they need him to grab the rebound and pass.

On the offensive end, Horford opened up space, Adams and the guard blocked and cut in the air, teammates couldn't shoot, he could rush to the front court to rebound, and if there was a misplaced opportunity, he could catch the ball and hit the basket directly.

Adams played 18 minutes, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line for a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, better than his stats in the Wizards' entire game.

Guo Xu played 18 minutes, 8 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 23 points and 10 assists, and played a double-double. Durant finished with 18 points, four rebounds and two assists on 7-of-9 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

In the first half, the three of them were more like the Big Three, scoring efficiently to the point of exploding.

Lowry, the core of the Rockets, felt tormented on the court, and only scored 2 points and 3 assists on 1-of-6 shooting, and was stupid by Guo Xu.

Gordon was the Rockets' top performer, finishing with 16 points, two rebounds and three assists on 5-of-11 shooting, 3-of-7 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws. If it weren't for him, the overall stats of the Rockets would have been even worse.

When Carter and Booker are on the floor together, the Lakers' wing defense isn't strong enough, and the coaching staff doesn't intend to make up for that weakness, preferring to break down opponents with offense.

That's the way they did last season, this kind of thing to defend, and they just get serious about going into the playoffs.

In the second half, the Lakers sent all bench drills, Felton, Booker, Robertson, Berstein, Zubac.

The lineup is still strong, with two people able to open up space outside the three-point line, Felton is responsible for breaking through with the ball and Zubac for blocking and pick-and-roll, and Roberson is not bad on the wing.

Wade and Harrell also went up to play for a while as a rotation in the last quarter, and all the Lakers players scored today, except for Bogut and Terry, who were not on the squad.

Bogut sprained his knee during the preseason, which was not serious, and the coaching staff kept him going. Bogut is a glass man with injuries and only one season of full attendance, and his reduced playing time is good for the team and for him personally.

In the end, the Lakers won 137-78, beating the Rockets by 59 points.

It was really tragic that the opening game was played like this, and the Rockets players were all dejected when they left the game. It was all the result of the Lakers not doing their best, and the Rockets' weaker benches scored more points than they started in the second half.

After the game, the media unanimously recognized the strength of the Lakers, believing that they can hit the record of the best record in the regular season even if they can't win all this season, and they look too strong.

There are also fans on the Internet who expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that it is not a good thing for the Lakers to be like this.

First of all, the playing time of the stars will definitely be shortened, if Guo Xu and Durant play less than 30 minutes, they will not be able to play beautiful statistics.

Secondly, the game is not good to watch if there is no suspense at all, who would like a game after three quarters?

Fans of other teams began to boycott the Lakers, hoping that they would break up as soon as possible. There are also more fans who hate Durant, and his joining the Lakers is the main reason for the widening of the gap in strength, and at least a few teams were able to play with the Lakers last season.

Durant didn't feel bad when he saw the bad reviews, but he didn't regret his decision in the summer, at least with the Lakers he would definitely win a championship.
