Lakers fans remember the white-skinned boy in the No. 8 jersey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The explosive physicality and stretching dunks reminded everyone of Kobe Bryant, who was also able to make such blood-pumping moves at the young time.
Today's LaVine, after joining the Lakers, is almost the same height, and was licensed by Kobe to wear the No. 8 jersey, which seems to be a kind of inheritance in a sense.
Especially in the first ball of the season, Kobe Bryant assisted LaVine to score, which made people feel excited and excited.
"It's like 19-year-old Kobe Bryant playing together at 37-year-old Kobe." Chu Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, full of excitement, Zach Lavin, he believed that this young man would not let him down.
In fact, during this time, LaVine has been asking Kobe for advice.
Moreover, Bryant is also very willing to coach him and improve his personal offensive skills and individual performance.
It can be said that today's Kobe Bryant is almost LaVine's teacher, and he is teaching him hand-in-hand, passing on all his skills and experience to LaVine.
Of course, the reason why Kobe Bryant is willing to guide LaVine is also because LaVine's physical condition has been recognized by Kobe, and his talent has given Kobe Bryant hope to shape another super scoring guard.
For LaVine, the smile on his whole face never disappeared after the goal.
He was so happy that the tactics arranged by the coach for the first time were so easily completed.
The first goal of his NBA career, with his best dunk, and it was also his favorite and most admired Kobe Bryant's pass, he really can't describe his feelings.
At the moment of the goal, he was very eager to show himself, and he felt that he had to do everything he could to play this game well and make his NBA debut.
LaVine's threat on the pitch comes primarily from his speed and explosiveness, and while his physicality is very poor, he can score points with excellent movement awareness.
In this regard, Chu Xuan specially instructed LaVine before the game, he didn't want LaVine to have singles, but asked LaVine to be able to catch and shoot the ball by running, or complete the inside empty ball according to specific tactics.
As a rookie, LaVine of course unconditionally obeyed Chu Xuan's arrangement.
Because in this time, he has witnessed that even Kobe Bryant is very obedient, let alone him.
LaVine and Bryant's aerial connection got the game off to a good start, and then Antetokounmpo took advantage of his height to force a layup inside.
That wasn't the end of the story, though, and after that, Antetokounmpo assisted LaVine for an open three-pointer.
Antetokounmpo is only a few months older than LaVine, but he's been in the NBA for a season, he's mature, and he's played in the playoffs, he's been through the Finals, and he's been in the World Championships, which has allowed him to grow at a terrifying rate.
Suffice it to say, no matter what Antetokounmpo does this season, don't be too surprised.
The Clippers' forward line is a bit weak, and Rivers doesn't value Antetokounmpo because he feels the Lakers' forward line is also flawed.
However, he seems to have underestimated Antetokounmpo, and the Clippers' forward line is completely unable to defend Antetokounmpo.
In the first half of the first quarter, the Lakers focused on Antetokounmpo and Zach LaVine, and the results were very good. At the end of the half, Antetokounmpo had 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, LaVine scored 7 points, and Kobe Bryant contributed 3 assists.
With the trio working together, the Clippers were beaten 17-8 and completely underdog.
Rivers made a quick decision and changed the defensive arrangement.
The Clippers began to expand their defense and put pressure on the perimeter.
Really, Rivers had to do that, he didn't expect LaVine and Antetokounmpo to be such a threat on the outside, and besides, Kobe Bryant has not been playing on the offensive end.
For Rivers, he is extremely worried about Kobe, because the core of the Lakers is Kobe. As a supergiant, it's impossible for him not to play. Rivers doesn't think Kobe Bryant is 37 years old and can only play soy sauce on the court.
Things turned out to be as Rivers expected, and after returning from the timeout, Bryant began to attack.
After many rounds of balls, Bryant hit an empty three-point shot.
He shot this ball very crisply, and the basketball fell into the pocket, showing that he should feel quite good today.
And what makes people feel amazing is the Lakers' fast rotation ball.
Because judging from the game, every round, the Lakers' offense will be involved in at least 4, and the dazzling and fluid passing is breathtaking.
It is not difficult to find that the Lakers' team cooperation is even better than last season.
And you know, this is just the beginning of the season, the players haven't had more run-in, and the Lakers still have a lot of rookies.
At this time, many people couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Lakers coaching staff, who were able to build such a team in a short period of time.
In fact, Chu Xuan's arrangement is very simple, that is, to rotate the ball in multiple rounds, cooperate more with the inside line, and then be as cautious as possible outside the three-point line.
The simple arrangement is, of course, a test of the tactical execution of the players.
And under Bryant's command, the game is going pretty well, and he seems to be obsessed with how to pass assists and help his team score.
"Kobe, you only made 1 shot, which surprised me."
The game lasted 8 minutes, and Chu Xuan replaced Kobe Bryant with Jeremy Lin. When Kobe Bryant arrived on the sidelines, Chu Xuan laughed. Bryant contributed four assists in the first quarter, and his playmaking revitalized the team, and he did an excellent job of organizing and silencing all the doubters.
"It's a very good feeling, I think I should have played point guard 18 years ago, and then I might be a point guard at the level of Magic." Kobe Bryant grinned.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, Kobe Bryant, who knew how to joke, was the most threatening: "If that's the case, the NBA will have one less super scorer who can be comparable to Michael, and it will be a bigger loss." ”
Kobe Bryant smiled and kept silent.
Jeremy Lin also appeared with Zhang Yang and Gasol.
No one expected that Zhang Yang would be the second rookie to appear, you know, Payton Jr., Wang Zhelin, McAdoo and Eprain are all waiting for their personal debuts off the court.
For the fans in the stadium, they couldn't help but be a little interested, and they wanted to see how the Chinese lad could perform in his career debut.
After all, Jeremy Lin studied with Nash for a season, and he knows how to integrate his teammates into the game.
In the second round after coming on the court, he assisted Zhang Yang to hit a three-pointer.
He then hit the ground and passed to Whiteside for an inside dunk.
Soon, the rest of the game was over, and the Lakers led the Clippers 32-26. (To be continued.) )
