The Lakers easily overturned the New York Gangsters at home, and in addition to Zhang Mao's surprising form, Mutombo also contributed 4 blocks and accidentally broke Houston's nose although he was quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Mason's performance is just the opposite, if Mutombo is hiding in the shadows to do evil, then Mason is the Lakers' executioner, as long as someone dares to act on the Lakers' basket, he will go up and squeeze his nose and stare at the black hand, and rush to the front line at any time.

This role is similar to him in the Knicks, everyone rushes up to stir up trouble, which is no longer a problem under the existing rules, and the current rules make a team must have someone to hide in the dark to do evil, and Mutombo and Zhang Mao are very good at this kind of role, as for Mason, who doesn't look like a good guy with an evil face, of course he has to be responsible for charging ahead. Only in this way can the Lakers compete with teams like the New York Gangsters and not fall behind against the Bulls.

Although Rodman is cunning, he is bound to be invincible with two fists against Mason, who is extremely evil, and Mutombo and Zhang Mao, who are extremely insidious. If you look at it this way, if the Bulls encounter the Lakers in the Finals, I am afraid that they will suffer a dark loss.

The Bulls can't help it, Jordan and Brother Pi are not stars who are good at small tricks, both of them have suffered a lot on the big elbows of the seemingly loyal Mutombo, so you can take pity on the Bulls now, the Lakers' interior line is obviously going towards the Bulls.

Harris even has a way to deal with the Bulls now, as long as Zhang Zhu and Finley are allowed to switch to Jordan and Pippen, use Zhang Zhu's confrontation ability and high degree to defend Jordan's back play and long-range shooting, and then use Finley's athleticism to defend Pippen's mid-to-long-range offense, and the rest will be handed over to Uncle Mu to block the restricted area, and Mason will rely on his strength and feet to entangle the Lakers' interior attack point.

The Bulls have always relied on mid-range offense, and such a defense can reduce the Bulls' threat at least half of the mid-range and close-range attacks, leaving them to test their own ability to penetrate the Bulls' defense on the offensive end.

Although the Lakers did not directly shout the slogan of winning the championship this season, judging from their recruitment, it is clear that they are aiming to win the championship, and they have created a completely set of lineups dedicated to restraining the Bulls.

The Clippers originally felt that their lineup was against the Lakers and could have an absolute advantage on the inside, but judging from the Knicks' fiasco, the Lakers' interior line may not be afraid of the Clippers.

If Mason has a hard anal O'Neal and Mutombo assists, the big sharks want to score in the penalty area, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Ten years later, fans will know that Duncan's positional sense on the defensive end is a historic existence, even if he is almost forty years old, but relying on his perverted defensive judgment + positional sense, he can still defend the interior line well.

But in fact, Mutombo is not bad in terms of positional sense, and it is also a historical existence. He is not inferior to Duncan in defensive vision, anticipation and positional sense, but with the advantage of height and reach, he is even more dangerous than Duncan in this regard. After all, Uncle Mu only needs to defend, but Duncan has to support the Spurs' offense and organization, and Mutombo, who is "specialized" in defense, must do better than Duncan on the defensive end.

But there must be a premise, that is, to completely liberate Mutombo, and don't let him defend the opponent's first attack point inside, which will seriously affect Uncle Mu's advantage in supplemental defense.

That's why Harris will send a scout to China to observe Battle, compared to the 210cm tall Mongolian, Mason and Ben Wallace are a bit short in altitude, and the former is 29 years old after all, if the form declines after a season or two, then Battle's meat shield type inside, at least for now, looks better than Wallace.

Now you can feel sorry for Ao Fat again, it's not enough for the Clippers to pile up Mason and Wallace with a power value of 99, and they want to get Battle with the same power value of 99, it's hard to imagine the scene when these three people fight the big shark on the wheel, whether it can be prevented or not, at least it's certain to be tired and fat.

On October 25th, today is the first game of the season between the Lakers and the Clippers, and it is also the last game of the Lakers' preseason.

"The biggest deal of the summer!"

"O'Neill and Zhang Yi's personal vendetta!"

"The NBA's only local derby!"

"A duel between the aristocratic team and the commoner team!"

Any one of these highlights is enough to make this preseason game a national live broadcast, and the four of them together are enough to make the world look forward to this matchup.

The Clippers have always given people the impression of "picking the door", they are never willing to spend a lot of money to get really good players, and they like to spend one or two million to get some practical players with high cost performance.

However, the embarrassing thing is that maybe these practical players were good before coming to the Clippers, and they were indeed cost-effective, but as soon as they came to the Clippers, they immediately became the base salary level, even worse than many base salary players. A few years ago, the Clippers' pile of one or two million junk contracts added up to enough to poach an All-Star.

This season, Sterling and Baylor's brains have been pumped together, plus a Magic boss who is still considered Hardaway to be far more important than O'Neal, and the three of them together contributed to the birth of the NBA's biggest contract, and also made the "Los Angeles Derby" a major event that can compete with the Bulls for ratings.

Kobe Bryant, a high school rookie who has just turned 18, is the biggest highlight of the Clippers' preseason, averaging 25 minutes per game in the first five preseason games, handing over 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

This has led to a number of pundits giving the high school guard a five-star rating. Clippers fans also love this little guy, his style of play looks pleasing to the eye, he is a lot higher than Jones in terms of spirituality, and obviously much higher in terms of potential.

This style of playing well and scoring points is not something that ordinary people can do, and the Clippers really chose a star seedling.

Zhang Yu didn't feel that he was looking away, he said that what can be seen in the preseason, a rookie who can't even start the game, he really has the ability to kill me!

Clippers head coach Bill Feige, general manager Baylor, and owner Sterling are all optimistic about Kobe, but they really don't dare to let Kobe play as a starter now.

They brought in O'Neal in a trance this season, and now the goal is to at least reach the Western Conference Finals, which is basically the same task set by the Lakers.

However, Kobe Bryant's experience is too poor, his stability and defense are not as good as Jones, and the Clippers can't pay the price of losing in order to train newcomers, so O'Neal will blow up!

Although, the dead fat man is also very optimistic about Kobe, and has praised Kobe Bryant's diligence and hard work several times this month, thinking that he plays very much like Hardaway, and is very optimistic about the future development of this little brother, but at this time Kobe Bryant obviously does not have the ability to play the starter, at most he will play the role of the team's sixth man.

The Clippers have a lot of people who can play this season, with solid Darick Martin on point guard and Brent Barry, runner-up in the slam dunk contest. Shooting guard includes the increasingly mature Eddie Jones and up-and-coming rookie Kobe Bryant. In the third position are sharpshooter Rodney Rodgers and defensive stalwart Beau Outlaw. The power forward has Lloy Ott, who is good at rebounding defensively. In the center are O'Neal, the big shark, and Dean Garnett, who has a base salary but is amazingly efficient.

The 30-year-old Dean Garnett is another bench that O'Neal and the Clippers are very happy with, this guy has a salary of only $250,000, but he played hard, and in the preseason only 25 minutes of playing time, he averaged 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and his appearance solved the shortcomings of the Clippers' interior bench.

O'Neal has always been very confident before, that is, he feels that this team is not bad in terms of immediate combat power, and the potential is quite good, the key is that they completely design the offensive and defensive system with themselves as the core, and Clippers fans regard him as a savior-like existence.

It's a lot better than when he takes the blame for the Magic, and he's only 24 years old and has time to wait for this team to grow.

"Somebody has been showing off all summer, maybe because they think their sneakers that nobody buys look good, but I want to see what he does on the court."

Zhang Fu began to taunt the big fat man before the game, and he specifically poked other people's sore spots.

It is said that O'Neill's Reebok sneakers, which were also released on the eve of the Olympic Games, only sold less than 100,000 pairs in more than three months, which is not even a fraction of Zhang Qi's "Dragon Descendant Second Generation", and the cost of Reebok will definitely not be recovered.

O'Neill did disgust Zhang Qi every once in a while this summer, and even teased him with a racial talent show rap song in a nightclub. Fortunately, the Magic team didn't win against the Lakers last season, and O'Neal didn't win against Zhang Qi, and no matter how strong the racial talent of the dead fat man is, he can't make too many jokes.

But if the game is won by the Clippers, O'Neal will probably sing "how does my ass feel" after the game.

It's almost a well-known fact that this kind of talk-related competition, such as Zhang Zhu's attempt to overthrow Jordan's rule, has been a win-win situation.

And a game with grievances and topics will undoubtedly look better.

O'Neal also wants to overthrow Jordan and replace him, so these two guys competing for the position of the protagonist will definitely not have a good relationship. Even if there is, the league will create some contradictions between the two and use the media to provoke hostility between the two, which can help the NBA play a propaganda role.

Zhang Qi rarely fights with this guy again, but every time he fights back, O'Neill is so angry that he wants to vomit blood!

This time, he took out his boots to stimulate O'Neal, because it was about the player's income outside of his salary.

Although O'Neal got the largest contract in NBA history, judging from the rate of increase in NBA salaries, he will soon be surpassed by latecomers, and Zhang Mao's next contract will inevitably be higher than O'Neal, which is no doubt about it.

Zhang Fu's sneakers sold more than a million pairs around the world in just three months of summer, and they have always been in short supply.

Last season, he wore the pair of "Dragonborn", which was basically a cross between Jordan's 10th and 11th generations.

Nike had no time to develop a new series of sneakers that were unique in terms of technology and styling.

Therefore, before the start of the Olympic Games, that is, before the advent of the "Dragon Descendant Second Generation", although the "Dragon Descendant Generation" sold very well in the world, it was still inferior to the "Jordan Series" a lot, and it has always been ridiculed by Jordan fans.

"Dragonborn II" came out completely different, this is a completely different from the "Jordan series" sneakers, using the "Tianzu technology" based on the concept of bionic system, which can make the wearer feel unprecedented comfort, as if the foot is directly on the ground, this technology makes the stability of the second generation of Dragonborn, support and torsion are not inferior to Jordan's latest 12th generation, but the comfort has been qualitatively improved. Coupled with Nike's signature cushioning technology, Dragonborn II is able to bounce back quickly while absorbing power, providing sustained power for players to run fast and bounce continuously, and has surpassed Jordan's latest 12th generation sneaker in overall performance.

It is worth mentioning that the "Tianzu technology" is a technology unique to the "Dragonborn series", because the inventor is not Nike, but a technology developed by a company founded by Chinese, and Zhang Fu still has a part of the shares in it.

Therefore, this technology is only licensed to the "Dragonborn series", and Nike has signed a contract with it for 5 years to put this technology into the production of sneakers of the Dragonborn brand, and neither the Jordan brand nor the main Nike brand can use it.

Zhang Zhu's sneakers immediately shined in the reviews of major basketball magazines after their release, and their performance completely surpassed the Jordan 12th generation in various evaluations, and the combination of "cushioning technology" and "Tianzu technology" made the sneakers themselves almost without any shortcomings, but they can beat all sneakers in terms of comfort. And the degree of wear resistance is due to the sole material, which also kills all Nike sneakers, including the Jordan series. At the same time, this is a rare Nike sneaker that can have a high service life on the concrete floor, and its cost-effective and high-performance performance has naturally been unprecedentedly popular after its release, and it has been out of stock until now.

Today's game was played at the home court of the Clippers, Zhang Zhu kept raising his feet to let people shoot his bag sneakers after entering the court, and today he wore the second generation of dragons with the away "red and white" color, which was particularly conspicuous on the court.

The original version of the "Dragonborn II" only represents the "purple and gold" model on behalf of the home court, and the "white and red" model on the away side, and the price is 199 US dollars higher than that of the "Jordan 12th generation", which is also the most expensive standard basketball shoe on the market.

In this era, most of the standard basketball shoes are $99 to $129, and the most expensive "Jordan 12 Generation" is only $149.

However, due to the use of two unique technologies and the high licensing fee of the "Tianzu" technology, the market price of Zhang Zhu's sneakers almost exceeded $200.

Luckily, these sneakers are super wear-resistant, otherwise they would not have been sold because they were too expensive.

It is said that during the All-Star Weekend, the "Dragonborn brand" will also have a "white gold" limited edition on sale, so I don't know how expensive it will be, and it is estimated that it will start at least 4 figures to buy.

"Hmph, what's the use of looking good in bare sneakers? Embroidered pillows, no appearance! ”

O'Neill couldn't help but comfort himself from a distance, what he said was the Chinese version, and the American version would not be translated.

Kobe Bryant glanced at the sneakers on his feet during the warm-up, which were a pair of second-generation dragonborns with the same color as Zhang Qi's feet.

Although he doesn't have a good impression of the Lakers, he doesn't have much disgust with Zhang Mao.

Kobe Bryant didn't know what Zhang Qian thought about him in his heart, and the two didn't have much intersection, so naturally they wouldn't have any enmity.

That's why he wears Zhang Zhu's second generation of Dragonborn on his feet, because these sneakers are so comfortable, both outside and inside players can wear them, and they are very comfortable to wear. Even some players who have a sneaker contract endorsement feel that Zhang Mao's sneakers are more comfortable than their personal customized sneakers, and will secretly wear Dragonborn sneakers to train in private.

The shoes worn by players with sneaker endorsements in the NBA are customized according to the player's individuality, the materials will be used at any cost, the workmanship and routing will be more solid, and the ones sold on the market are standard models.

Zhang has gained weight this year, and in order to facilitate his interior attack, he will wear shoes that are slightly thicker than the standard version, and in order to take advantage of his speed, his shoes will also be a little higher than the standard model.

But with two pinnacle technology bonuses, the "Dragon Descendant Second Generation", even if it is only a standard model for the public, it also bursts many ordinary stars' customized sneakers in terms of comfort, such as Ma Long's goods shamelessly wore the second generation of the Dragon Descendant, in addition to because he does not have a sneaker contract, these shoes are really comfortable!

"Boy, you're pretty rich."

When Zhang Yu and Kobe Bryant greeted each other, they saw the sneakers on each other's feet, and secretly complained in their hearts.

Changing a pair of shoes every game is really a bit distressing for rookies and low-salary players!

Many fans may not know that the NBA is very waste sneakers except for water cooler players, don't use the degree of waste shoes of ordinary basketball lovers to measure NBA players, NBA players will not wear a pair of shoes at most five times, otherwise they will not be able to protect their feet well, and they are generally replaced with new shoes every game.

Zhang Fu said in an interview that Nike will give him a new pair of shoes before every game, but he usually wears old shoes to the court, and the new shoes will be worn for training two or three times first, and then worn to the court when they are in the best condition. When the game is over, his shoes will be given directly to the fans.

There is also a media survey, once a female fan is lucky enough to grab Zhang Mao's sneakers, many people will not clean them at all, they must keep their original state, and they will even sleep with their sneakers excitedly.

Of course, those players who don't have a sneaker endorsement will also have a supply of sneakers, but that kind of sneakers are far inferior to the shoes of ordinary stars, so most players will choose to buy shoes from stars with similar styles to wear.

In the Lakers, most of the players wear Zhang Mao's sneakers, which is a benefit he has always given to his younger brothers. These people's sneakers were bought by Zhang Yu, and he didn't care about this money, but it was a more useful means of wooing than inviting guests to dinner.

Like Mason's sneakers, which are even thicker, Mutombo's sneakers are particularly thicker at the toe, and Finley's sneakers are lightweight, high-top...... These are all versions he told Nike to customize for his teammates, and Jordan is the only one in the entire league who has such a big face as him to allow an endorsement agent to provide special services for a team.

Kobe Bryant is wearing Zhang Mao's sneakers at the moment, and O'Neal will of course feel shameless, because he also bought sneakers for his teammates, but except for his interior teammates, his kindness was basically declined.

This can't be helped, his own custom sneakers are not particularly comfortable to wear even for many interior players who are not overweight, and the standard version on the market is even worse, not very suitable for ordinary people to wear to play, and he has no face to let Reebok get a customized version for his teammates, and then it can be seen that the status of a player is coming.

Zhang Mao now even asked Nike to give Mutombo an endorsement contract, and the treatment is no worse than Olajuwon, it is said that the contract between O'Neal and Reebok is a little worse, this kind of face really makes O'Neill very annoyed and helpless.

O'Neill's helplessness is more of a rapid change in Reebok's attitude towards him.

Back then, he was given a cold shoulder by Nike, and then got VIP treatment at Reebok headquarters, so he signed Reebok.

However, although Reebok has a good attitude, the signing fee given is not high, not to mention compared with Zhang Fu, even compared with Hardaway, it is many times worse.

This year, something even more tragic happened, and Reebok's attitude towards him changed abruptly, because Reebok signed the rising star Allen Iverson for a full twenty times the fee of O'Neal.

This made the fat man feel very uncomfortable, Zhang Yu at least made a name for himself before signing the sky-high contract.

But now a champion who has not yet made any name can actually get 20 times more endorsement fees than him, which makes him embarrassed to mention the word "sneakers" in front of people.

O'Neill is the least accustomed to being slighted, his partnership with Reebok expires next summer, and now he doesn't plan to sign a contract with Reebok or other brands, and he doesn't have much money anyway, so he might as well choose to open his own brand.

Well, this choice is very similar to Malone's beginning, and the big man is really miserable in sneaker endorsements!

Today's Lakers starters: Van Exel (84), Finley (84), Zhang Mao (93), Mason (86), Mutombo (86).

Clippers starters: Darrick Martin (77), Eddie Jones (85), Rodney Rodgers (82), Lloy Ott (85), Shaquille O'Neal (96).

Zhang Qi glanced at the ability value of the Clippers players before the game, in addition to the starting five, Kobe Bryant on the Clippers bench also has 79 ability values, Bo Outlaw and Dean Garnett are both 78 ability values, Brent Barry is 77 ability values, and the rest of the players have nothing to put on the table, and there is still some gap between such strength and the Lakers.

On the Lakers' bench, there is also Starks with an ability value of 81, Elvin Johnson also has an ability value of 80, and even rookie Ben Wallace has risen to 72, this guy is the fastest improving player on the Lakers.

"I'll blow you up, remember!"

Before the start of the game, O'Neill put out a cruel sentence that even he didn't quite believe.

"Alas, I would have liked to screw your head off, but your head is so deformed that I can't even use your skull."

Zhang Wei looked at O'Neill's shiny bald head and wanted to go up and knock it.

"Damn, you'll regret saying that."

"I think you'll regret coming to Los Angeles."

Zhang Qi said that rap is of course you are good, but you are far from fighting.
