Staples Arena is a sea of joy for fans, as Lakers fans are used to winning and are now eager for their team to usher in a new era.

When the names of Kobe, Howard, Gasol, Ci Shiping, and Nash appear on the same team, there is no reason for Lakers fans not to expect the big scene.

Although Nash missed the game due to injury today, the presence of Kobe, Howard, Gasol, and Ci Shiping still gave the young Rockets a sense of powerlessness.

Before the game, Sampson, the assistant coach of the Rockets, only repeatedly emphasized "fighting" and "toughness", and the Rockets were weaker than their opponents in terms of momentum.

The Rockets' starters are still center Asik, power forward Patterson, and small forward Parsons, while the guard line is led by Harden and Jeremy Lin, while the tall and strong man sits on the bench with a relaxed face, playing with his mobile phone.

“4791！！！” When Gao Dazhuang saw the value of Kobe Bryant displayed in the "Basketball Miracle" on his mobile phone, he couldn't help but be surprised, yes, the value of "Little Emperor" James is 5011, but James is at his peak and is recognized as the first person in the league today, and Kobe Bryant is 34 years old, and he still has such combat power at this age to make Gao Dazhuang admire.

"It's really a treasure and it's not old," the tall man exclaimed.

In fact, the 34-year-old Kobe Bryant currently leads the league with 27.9 points per game, ranking first in the scoring list, while Harden, the new core of the Rockets, ranks fourth in the league with 25.7 points per game, and Rockets rookie Gao Da Zhuang ranks eighth in the league with 22.4 points per game.

At the beginning of the game, Lakers center Howard easily won the jump ball, due to Nash's absence, it was the team's "boss" Kobe Bryant who served as the Lakers' point guard today.

As soon as the ball was handed over to Kobe, the entire Staples Arena immediately resounded with huge cheers, this is his home stadium, and Kobe Bryant is the only "king" here.

Looking at the high-spirited Kobe Bryant on the field, the tall and strong off the field are not only envious but also envious.

Kobe Bryant also rarely disappointed the fans who followed him, in the face of Jeremy Lin's marking, Kobe, who was superior in strength, speed, height and other aspects, did not directly attack, but broke through sideways, jumped into the restricted area and after attracting the attention of the Rockets' defense, he casually threw the ball high under the Rockets' basket.

There was a loud bang, and Howard, the monster who had been ambushed under the basket for a long time, jumped high, received the ball with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket.

Aerial relay !! The Lakers gave the Rockets a kick-off at the start.

"Oh" The deafening cheers resounded throughout Staples Arena.

The Rockets launched a counterattack, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Harden, Harden broke through after a series of dashes, but it was the strong Ci Shiping who was responsible for defending him, and the experienced Ci Shiping used his powerful arms to entangle Harden and limit his speed.

In the end, Harden shot a very difficult step-back jumper, and with a "dang" sound, the ball bounced out of the basket.

The Lakers immediately launched a counterattack, Kobe Bryant advanced at high speed with the ball, and after passing the Rockets' Jeremy Lin and Parsons in a row, he did not pass the ball to Howard, who asked for the ball under the basket but was targeted by the Rockets, but passed to Gasol who was plugged in behind him without looking at the ball.

"Brush" Gasol received a pass from Kobe Bryant and hit an easy layup.

Kobe Bryant changed his normal behavior, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of passing the ball as the team's point guard, and then Kobe Bryant assisted Howard and Gasol to score two more goals, 8:0.

Whenever a teammate scores a goal, Kobe Bryant always habitually points his teammates with his hand to congratulate him.

The Rockets faced heavy pressure from the Lakers at the beginning, and assistant coach Sampson on the sidelines was also restless.

"Tut", in the 3rd minute of the game, the Rockets made a foul on Ci Shiping by Harden's breakthrough, and Harden hit both free throws to score the first point of the game for the Rockets.

However, the Lakers' offense is still smooth, and this time Kobe Bryant chose to attack the basket directly after breaking through Jeremy Lin.

"Brushed" a trademark stop-and-go jumper, and Bryant scored his first point of the game.

The Lakers have shot 5 of 5 so far, with a shooting rate of 100%, which shows the defensive quality of the Rockets.

The only thing the Rockets can rely on at this point is Harden, who played a pick-and-roll with Jeremy Lin, and his pull-up jumper pulled back a ball. The way the goal was scored and the shooting area was exactly the same as the goal that Kobe Bryant had just scored.

But then Kobe Bryant forced Jeremy Lin again, forced the basket, not only scored the ball, but also made a defensive foul on Asik, 2+1!

"MVP, MVP, MVP......" The Lakers fans inside Staples are chanting neatly, this is their worship of Kobe.

The most enthusiastic part of the NBA audience is often black people with little money, or teenagers with no financial resources.

They bought the lowest ticket to the stadium, but they brought 80% of the passion and screams to the stadium, and the screams that almost exceeded the limit of the ears were easily reminiscent of the word "run away".

After entering Staples, Gao Da Zhuang is used to it, and as long as the Lakers play a good game, Gao Da Zhuang is immediately ready for "noise abuse" in advance.

These fans are the real die-hard fans of the Lakers, their love for the Lakers is unconditional and irrational, in the game, whenever the Lakers score, they cheer, as soon as the referee blows for the Lakers foul, they start to abuse.

But it's because of such crazy fans that Staples Arena is a nightmare for the rest of the league.

At this time, the stars in the row of guest seats on the side of the Rockets' bench, who were originally well-dressed and elegantly behaved, also raised their fists and shouted "LAKERSGO!" loudly like ordinary fans. ”

"Tall, playing" was still attracted by the enthusiasm of the fans when assistant coach Sampson woke him up.

"Good" Gao Dazhuang immediately got up and sorted out his jersey and quickly came to the sidelines, in the 5th minute of the game, Gao Dazhuang replaced the starting point guard Jeremy Lin, and this has become a model for the Rockets, Jeremy Lin has long been without the "crazy" of last season, if it were not for the guarantee clause of the "main position" in his contract, in the hands of Coach Sampson, he may not necessarily get even a second of playing time.

"Brushed" Kobe Bryant and steadily hit the free throw.

Kobe Bryant and Tall and Strong are not pure point guards, but Kobe Bryant at least has absolute possession of the ball, and most of the ball on the Rockets' side is controlled by Harden, the core of the team.

Tall and strong, who played as a point guard, had not even touched the ball, and Harden had already launched an attack.

Harden does have his characteristics in terms of offense, and after his slow speed is not fast, he still breaks through Ci Shiping's defense after continuous shaking, and shoots under the basket with one step.

However, the Lakers' monster Howard has strong air defense capabilities, and although his high jump failed to block Harden's layup, Harden's layup was deflected out of the basket with a "dang" sound under its interference.

The "good" bounced basketball flew right towards Kobe, and after Kobe was born and signaled to his teammates, he immediately jumped high and prepared to catch the ball with both hands.

However, a dark shadow hit on the side, and it was the tall and strong rookie of the Rockets.

At the moment when Harden burst in, the tall and strong cut into the inside line in time, and at this time, the tall and strong also rushed to the basketball on Kobe's head, and the tall and strong man who ran and sprinted jumped higher than Kobe.

However, Kobe Bryant was very clever to pick up the ball, making the tall and strong pounce, and then Kobe Bryant jumped again and grabbed the rebound steadily.

"Whew, it's dangerous" Kobe Bryant glanced back at the tall and strong, the rookie who made a big impression on him for the first time.

But the more this special impression is, the more ruthlessly Kobe Bryant's "superstar" suppresses potential rookies.

Soon Kobe Bryant singled tall and strong near the free throw line, and continued to squeeze with his back, but his strength was not weak, and he always stuck to the defensive line in the continuous body collision and did not retreat, at this time Kobe turned around, stopped sharply, and leaned back, but just when Gao Dazhuang was about to pounce.

Hit the ground and pass! Kobe Bryant assisted a clever pass to the basket for Howard to misposition and force Patterson to score the next shot.

The Rockets attacked, Gao Dazhuang dribbled and advanced, to be honest, in the face of Kobe's defense, Gao Dazhuang really felt the pressure, because he was a sign of the times and an idol in the hearts of countless Chinese fans.

"James said you can't guard him," at this time, the tall and strong suddenly said this sentence without a brain.

"But I can prevent you, rookie" Hearing the words of the tall and strong, Kobe Bryant was stunned, and then responded with a dark face.

"Well, that's not what I meant" Gao Dazhuang knew that he was wrong, he originally wanted to say hello to Kobe, but obviously Gao Dazhuang picked a wrong topic, which was okay and successfully aroused Kobe's "anger".

Without giving Gao Dazhuang any chance to explain, Kobe Bryant intensified his scramble for Gao Dazhuang.

Bryant is also an excellent defender, his defense is quite aggressive, and he almost succeeded in stealing the ball several times in a row, but fortunately, he is tall and strong and very skilled in ball control.

"Cluster" When Kobe Bryant took the initiative to copy the ball again, the tall and strong took advantage of the situation to change direction and break through to the basket, Kobe Bryant also hurriedly adjusted and followed, and the two kept fighting to the basket.

The tall and strong man who broke through with the ball jumped high, and under the double strike of Howard and Kobe, a backhand pass passed the ball to Asik under the basket.

Asik catches the ball and makes an easy layup.

After "humming" on the ground, Kobe Bryant glanced sideways and turned to signal his teammates to pass the ball.

"It's over" Tall and Strong had a bad premonition, and sure enough, he turned around, and Kobe Bryant took the initiative to single Tall and Strong again at the free throw line.

Back, back, feints, step-backs, step-backs, jumpers, unsolvable signature moves, Kobe Bryant's half-volley hit.

"Awesome" tall and strong sincerely admired, Kobe Bryant has more offensive skills than James, and there is a feeling of lifting weights, which makes people unguardable.

Next, Kobe Bryant not only scored points in a row, but also connected the whole team very well, and the Lakers shot 75% in the entire first quarter, but this was also the result of their main interior line, Howard and Gasol were wreaking havoc on the inside of the Rockets.

couldn't stop the Lakers' offense, and the Rockets' own offense wasn't fully opened.

The Lakers sent Ci Shiping to defend the core of the Rockets Harden, Ci Shiping's five short axle men, although the pace can't keep up with Harden, but the Lakers' average height is very good, the interior defense area is very large, and Harden can't easily throw off his thighs and run.

Harden's offense was very stagnant, and the Lakers blocked his left path after blocking his high block, so Harden could only use medium and long-range shots again and again to try the offense, but the effect was not good.

The tall and strong directly faced the pressure of Kobe, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and the number of shots in the first quarter was too small, but he assisted his teammates to a few balls, which was one of the few highlights in the first quarter.
