Zhang Qi lay in the center of the court and received the salute of 20,000 Lakers fans, the only fly in the ointment is that their new arena "Staples Arena" will not be put into use until next summer, and this year the Lakers will play in the old "Great Western Forum Arena" for another year.

But if you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that, if the Lakers can't defend their title this year, he can still throw a pot at the arena; If you can defend your title, but you can't build a dynasty next season, then you can still throw a pot at the new stadium, which is definitely the reason for bad feng shui.

Zhang Wei has already figured out how to shake the pot after failure, although the possibility of failure is really unlikely, he doesn't believe that any team can be more familiar with the joint defense system than them, even if the Clippers' paper combat power is higher than the Lakers, they will definitely not win!

"This season, you don't want to win the first place again."

O'Neill's head is bigger this year, and he is glaring at the pair of bull's eyes and saying to Zhang Yu at the moment, but his words are not a deterrent.

"Alas!"

Zhang Wei sighed and said I don't want to speak, just be happy.

He really doesn't want to talk now, it feels like he is wearing a three-level suit, holding a fully matched 15x mirror AM and confronting a red dot 98K from 500 meters away, what if you shoot a shuttle first?

The Clippers don't know the strength of the Lakers now, they can't imagine that the opponent can adapt to the new rules faster than them for more than half a season, and it is estimated that the Lakers players themselves don't believe it, they are so hanging!?

The Lakers and Clippers are like two dota teams with an average score of 2000 points, but one has been playing Dota 2 for half a year, and the core of the team is still a time-traveler who has played Dota 2 for two years, and the opponent they face has only played Dota 2 for half a month.

Lakers' starting lineup today: Kidd, Finley, Zhang Mao, Mason, Mutombo.

The lineup is the same as last season, and while Starks and Big Ben are better suited to the new rules, Harris feels that the starting lineup is more consistent and he doesn't want any surprises in the first game of the new season.

Today is a national live broadcast, the three referees are also a little nervous, the new rules are also a challenge for the referee's adaptability, especially in the new season in the physical contact penalty scale is very vague, I believe that the league does not have a clear boundary, which is difficult to master.

These new rules will need to be refined through a large number of games, so the league will definitely make a series of minor adjustments to the rules over the next two seasons.

In the opening jump ball, Mutombo easily defeated O'Neill, and this national live broadcast officially kicked off.

Kidd took the ball and pushed forward, and after Zhang Qi was in position, he reached for the ball, and Rodgers was in a dilemma as soon as he came up.

"If you can't use your hands, how can I defend against him?"

Rodgers' first thought was to "play Lai", even if he pulled Zhang Yu's jersey, he may not be able to stop this monster, and now the new rules actually require defenders to only use their hands to drive offensive players and not to exert force, this is too much, right?

Seeing this, Jones hurriedly abandoned Finley to go up to the clip, and now the new rules allow joint defense, which makes everyone want to pack the clip, and the missing teammates can make up for it. This is also the biggest difference from the old rules, where teammates used to fill in the gaps, which were illegal defenses, now there are no such constraints.

But it's useless, the Clippers' rotation defense is not fast enough, and there is no discipline, and the Lakers players are not wooden stakes, and people will move!

Zhang Zhu still forced a breakthrough against two defenders, and this year's better ball control skills allowed him to ensure that he could not make mistakes for a short time under the bag, which is very important to attract the defense.

At this moment, Finley, who was empty, went straight into the penalty area, Kidd moved to the top of the arc, and Lao Mu and Mason also came to two low posts at the same time.

No one will make a fuss about these regular positions in two years, but at this moment they make the Clippers' defense instantly chaotic, and they don't know who to defend at this moment, let alone where to go to fill the position, anyway, it's just a mess.

The Zen master watched from the sidelines as Zhang Qi distributed the ball to Mason, and Finley took the opportunity to take advantage of Lao Mu's off-ball cover to go around to the weak side to form a large open space, and easily received the ball and threw a mid-range shot.

Looking back at the Clippers' defense just now, there is no order at all, especially after Finley's air cut, the Clippers' defense was instantly disorganized, everyone didn't know what they should do, Zhang Zhu and Mason had countless passing options just now, how could this kind of defense win?

"Referee, he's already three seconds, right?"

The Lakers scored easily on their first offensive point in the opening game, but Zhang came to the referee's side after his teammates scored, complaining that O'Neal had been lying in the restricted area. You know, just now Mutombo and Mason were pulled outside the penalty area, and O'Neill was still in it without moving, which is a naked three-second violation!

The referee's face was not very good-looking, but O'Neill did violate the rule in three seconds just now, and at this moment he could only act as if he didn't hear anyone around him, but O'Neill was not so lucky next time.

The Lakers came to the defensive end, and the Clippers also wanted to return the color, only to find that they and the Lakers didn't seem to be playing the same game?

Cassel is definitely not bad in terms of the big picture, and his passing and control skills are also top-notch among active point guards, but Kidd has been close to the defense from the backcourt, and it still took him a full 7 seconds to dribble past the midcourt, and almost violated the rules in 8 seconds.

After Cassel dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, although it was passed to O'Neal in the first place, it took 10 seconds to attack.

O'Neal touched the basketball and was about to dribble and arch inward, but before the idea fell, Zhang Mao on the right wing had already rushed to his side first, and he could only pass the ball.

"Damn!"

O'Neal was very unhappy, but Zhang Qiu's bag came too quickly, he couldn't find a suitable passing route for a while, and he was not easy to pass the ball in the bag, Zhang Ji's height and arm span were almost catching up with the center, and he had to pass the ball high to avoid being broken.

That way, the Lakers players have plenty of time to rotate, and the Clippers naturally struggle to create open space by moving the ball quickly.

This time, they were worse than not being able to create an open spot, because O'Neal, who was in the bag, held the basketball high for half a day to pass the ball, and the Clippers players pulled him to the far end in order to catch him, otherwise the ball really couldn't be received.

Eddie Jones ran until near the left touchline to receive O'Neal's pass, by which time the attacking clock was halfway over.

Finley certainly didn't miss such a good opportunity, and immediately pressed Jones, who had no room to manoeuvre, who struggled to even turn around after barely receiving the ball, and now he was carelessly walking or being forced out of bounds.

The Lakers players immediately pressed to the strong-side area, and Jones locked all of his passing lanes, struggled near the awkward sideline for a long time, and finally walked in violation of the rules.

"Trash, go home and play, scumbag who can't even shoot!"

"Haha, is this the team that can compete with the Lakers?"

"We're probably playing against an NCAA team."

"That's why we don't want you!"

“…………”

Lakers fans immediately let out all kinds of heart-piercing shouts after the Clippers' mistake, and for a while, the forum arena was filled with boos and ridicule, which made the heads of Clippers players start to heat up.

The Clippers' heads should stay hot, and the Lakers replicated the process and ending of the first leg in the next offense, with the only difference being that Zhang Fu directly assisted Mason to score a goal this time. The Clippers were in chaos again, with Lakers players messing up the Clippers' formation with simple off-ball screens, air cuts, and quick two or three passes.

This style of play is not much more complicated than before, but the effect is so good, it is estimated that it is due to the lack of tacit understanding of the defender itself, in fact, they might as well hit and mark people.

Now I have to play a rotational defense, and the result is that as soon as the Lakers' outside players plug in, the Clippers don't know who I am? Where am I? Who's beating me?

If the Clippers are on the defensive end: Who am I? Where am I? Who's beating me?

Then on the offensive end, the Clippers become: Who am I? Where am I? Who am I fighting?

O'Neal's second attack was again caught by Zhang Mao's speed of light, this time he played the ball a little faster, but Cassel, who received the ball, still did not have a direct chance to attack, and Kidd was also pressing him from close quarters.

Cassel quickly passed the ball to Rodgers, but Zhang was already back in defensive position, and the Clippers still had no shots, but there were 10 seconds left on the offensive time.

Rodgers in front of Zhang is just a pitcher, and it's good that he can pass the ball back to Jones.

This time it was Kidd and Finley who wrapped Jones, and the two made the Clippers waste a few more seconds, and when Cassel finally received Jones's embarrassing pass outside the three-point line, there was still no space in front of him, and Zhang Yu had quickly made up for it.

Cassel's reaction was very fast, and he immediately wanted to pass the ball to Rodgers, who was opposite Zhang Zhu, but when he looked over, his heart immediately became half cold, because Finley had already made up for it, they still had no vacancy, and there was little time left to attack, so Cassell could only find a gap to face Zhang Zhu's defense and force his shot......

"Bang!"

It would be braggadocio to be able to score this ball, and it was not covered by Zhang Mao, or he didn't shoot a three, even if Kassel's shot was bad, at least he smashed the ball on the basket.

Mason stalked O'Neal under the basket and Mutombo picked up the rebound with ease, which was another successful defense, and the Clippers did little to create any threat.

The Zen master began to sit still, and after only two attacks, he could see the gap between the two sides. The Clippers are far inferior to the Lakers on the defensive end in terms of the speed and tacit understanding of rotation and positioning, and they are also far behind in the interpretation and scheduling of defense on the offensive end. They are at least a notch behind the Lakers in terms of tactical execution, and I am afraid that they will be severely humiliated today.

Zhang Yu said that humiliation was not enough, but a hard beating was certain.

O'Neal said that he played in the first quarter was called a depression, although the Clippers designed a lot of catch-and-shoot tactics for him, but who would have thought that the Lakers' bag was so fast, O'Neal was sandwiched into a pie every time he received the ball, and most of them were Zhang Yu came to wrap it, and the fat man said that he was uncomfortable with thieves.

The Zen master asked for a timeout several times, hoping to use the Lakers' opportunity to wrap O'Neal to open the other players, but most of these opportunities in practice were dismantled by the Lakers players with quick rotations.

In the first quarter of the game, ordinary fans could see that most of the Clippers' offense was rushed, and the efficiency can be imagined.

With a score of 37:14, the two teams played a score difference that no one could have expected.

Lakers fans themselves didn't expect that even if they could beat the Clippers, it shouldn't be too easy, and the final point difference was likely to be within 10 points.

However, the Lakers opened up a 23-point gap in the first quarter, an unacceptable fact that made Sterling in the private room almost suffer a heart attack.

The old Bas on the side would really worry that his old friend would be angry, and no one could have imagined this situation.

"Nonsense, I thought of it!"

Zhang said she anticipated this possibility.

The teams he played in the preseason were not that kind of virtue in virtual training, but he was always dragging his feet, because Kidd and Mutombo and others in the virtual system are very familiar with the new rules, and it is him who will not be able to keep up with the rhythm.

Zhang Yu played against the Clippers in the virtual system, and it was a full series, and the result was that because of his hind legs, the Lakers lost four games in a row and were swept, and his performance was like.

But in reality, it's the other way around, these guys are not showing their true strength at the moment, all teams are still in the initial stage of groping for new rules and playing styles, the Clippers in front of them and the Clippers in the virtual system, those are completely two teams.

The Lakers have him leading the team, and the process is undoubtedly much faster than other teams, and he even directly taught them the playing style of his teammates in the virtual system in reality.

Isn't this a bit like the Huashan faction in the Xiaoao Jianghu who took it out to slap his face and pretend to be a good person after thinking about the cliff and learning the mastery of other sects?

Zhang Qi is doing this kind of thing now, today he scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the first quarter, but O'Neal only scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, such a comparison made the fat man's head start to burn.

"Mr. First Center, you've played this ball well!"

In the second quarter, Zhang Wei rested for five minutes before playing, and O'Neal happened to come up together, but the first words of the two meeting made O'Neal almost blow up.

I have to say that once O'Neill's big head is black, it looks quite scary!

Zhang Qi stopped speaking after provoking this sentence, because there was really no need to provoke the current score.

At 6 minutes and 45 seconds in the second quarter, when Zhang Qi returned to the court, the score had come to 48:22.

The Lakers' benches are no lighter than the main team, and Starks and Big Ben still make the Clippers happy, especially Darick Martin, who was swept away, made 2 of 2 three-pointers, which made the Clippers hurt and basically died.

Sterling has already eaten the first two fast-acting heart pills, and then tactfully asked Old Bass, can you raise a hand today?

Of course, he didn't mean to let the Lakers release water and let the Clippers win, he wanted to ask the Lakers to raise their noble hands, don't snap too hard, it's almost the same to win 30 points, right? Is it really impossible to abuse forty or fifty points? Then tear your face!

Of course, old Bas didn't want to do such a desperate thing, but the problem was that he didn't know his situation!

At halftime, the Clippers had been abused by the Lakers for 39 points, and the old Bass immediately sent West to the locker room to comfort the players, and by the way, Harris raised a hand, the original words were: Today can be stopped.

However, when West arrived in the locker room and asked for Zhang Qiu, his instructions to Harris were: "Don't stop!" ”
