In this game, the Lakers sent their strongest lineup, needless to say about the twin towers on the inside, Kobe Bryant and Fisher on the outside are also the same, as a team that has successfully won the championship, the Lakers do not need to make too many adjustments. However, there are certain exceptions that have to be changed.

The Rockets were probably the most bizarre team of last summer, and unlike other teams, they completely turned their good forward position upside down. Of course, this can't be blamed on them, it's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, Atai is determined to leave the rocket, and Morey can't do anything even if he opens the golden finger.

After Artai successfully signed with the Lakers, the Rockets also quickly launched an action, and the two teams almost swapped small forwards, the beast became the Lakers' defensive barrier, and Ariza became the Rockets' Wheat. Originally, everyone thought that everything was like this, but the Knicks intervened again, and in order to send Gallinari away, they did not hesitate to be scolded as brain-dead.

As it turns out, Battier brings experience and stability to the Knicks, the beast brings passion and blood to the Lakers, and what about their exchange chips. Ariza and Gallinari are two young players who are locked in endless strife, and even though Adelman kept Maddy cold so that both of them had enough playing time, it didn't solve their problems.

The Rockets have a boss, and their current boss is Yao Ming, but the unique introverted of the Oriental makes Da Yao unable to show the strength of a team boss in the face of his teammates. And the acquiescence of the team's biggest player has intensified the infighting between the two.

So far, the Rockets are in 12th place in the West with seven wins, given that they also reached the Western Conference semifinals last season. The American press lovingly gave Morey the nickname of the most failed general manager of '09.

However, the Rockets are not the protagonists of today, and more eyes have to be left to the Lakers and Knicks. The former are currently at the forefront of the league with a nine-game winning streak, while the latter has briefly come out of the quagmire with a recent three-game winning streak, and both sides are full of momentum, and the pundits predicted before the game that it will be a good match.

Because it's away from home. Especially in the championship last season, Chandler, who lacked confidence, slightly lost to Bynum in the jump ball, and the Lakers won the opening ball.

Catch. Feints, turnaround jumpers! As always, the Black Mamba chose to test his touch with the first ball, and it turned out that he had a good hand today. The basketball pierces through the basket with precision.

It was the Knicks' turn. Almost exactly the same tactics, Li Chen also took the first chance of the Knicks, and the reason is also surprisingly consistent with Kobe, look at the feel.

Swish! The same is a hollow net!

The amazing tacit understanding between the two made the fans laugh heartily, and the big screen on the scene was wittily divided into two parts, one left and one right respectively presented the first attack of Kobe and Li Chen, and after comparison, people found that the offensive methods of Big Apple and Black Mamba are really similar.

"Boy. Are you imitating me? Kobe Bryant shook his face at Li Chen, "I know you adore me very much." But you don't have to be like this, you're already great, and I, as a teacher, feel very relieved to see you like this today! ”

"Bah"! Kobe's ridicule made Li Chen give a middle finger without hesitation, and he admitted that his offensive actions were somewhat similar to Kobe, because he had learned from the other party, but Kobe Bryant dared to lower himself by a generation because of this, which is simply unforgivable.

"Have you been watching my game footage lately, and I feel like you're imitating me!" Li Chen countered, "Your shooting seems to have improved a bit, well, yes, it's not in vain that I guided you for so long!" ”

The Big Apple is a little more domineering than the Black Mamba, because he has one more sentence, "But you're still a lot worse than me, you have to keep up the good work!" ”

"I'm sure you're finished!" Bynum, who had been eavesdropping on the two of them, gloated, "You don't know, because you are not as good as you in the weekly selection, Kobe Bryant has been waiting to find you to smash the game, I didn't expect you to turn your face so quickly." ”

Compared to the time of the enlarged vacation, Bynum gained some weight, it is conceivable that the team's winning streak made his training attitude much more relaxed, Li Chen glanced at the little shark, "Unfortunately, what I saw was that you brought your face over, Andrew, be careful, I have recently liked the feeling of a big man in Yan Kou!" ”

Not to mention the cute Bynum, in the following time, Li Chen and Kobe Bryant staged an exciting battle against each other.

The Black Mamba held the ball on the outside and used Gasol's cover to get past Hughes, who was defending him, but the Knicks were also very simple, since they were passed, they quickly switched defenses, and Hughes was firmly in front of Gasol, leaving no chance for the opponent to pass.

Kobe Bryant, who had no passing angle, decisively held the ball and continued to break through inside, facing Chandler and David Lee under the Knicks' basket, Black Mamba was fearless, using his feet and agility to easily make a layup in the restricted area. Kobe Bryant's calmness made his action of putting the ball in the basket look very elegant.

How's it handsome? Li Chen muttered, he also wants to be handsome. Because the girls were there, he didn't want to lose to anyone, and even though he was competing against Black Mamba, the first brother in the league, Big Apple was still full of confidence.

Also with the help of the cover of the interior player, Li Chen easily got rid of Artest's defense, who is familiar with the Lakers' tactical system, he knows that these guys have always had problems in blocking and dismantling, just like now, Artest chose to change defenses, but Gasol's hesitation still helped Li Chen find an offensive opportunity.

With a shake of his shoulder, Li Chen instantly increased his speed, facing Bynum who was sitting under the basket and Gasol, who was guarding himself, he had no weakness at all. When he was about to get to the basket, he suddenly jumped to the side, and at the same time his knees were slightly raised to prevent Bynum from flying up, and then he leaned back to shoot, and the stable posture made the arc of the basketball as elegant as ever.

The big apple went smoothly and returned to color, and the fans at the scene applauded one after another, because Li Chen has been like a scoring machine recently. They had been looking forward to a battle between Kobe Bryant and the Big Apple on Christmas Eve, and now, that wish seems to have come true.

Bryant dribbles in the low post. Hughes, who defended him, was firmly behind him, in the gap between holding the ball, Kobe's eyes were firmly locked on the weak side of the court, Gasol was cruising near the basket waiting for an opportunity, and the tacit cooperation of a pair of good friends made Hughes on the defensive side very careful, in addition to preventing Kobe from attacking with the ball, he also had to interfere with the opponent's pass.

Suddenly. Hughes noticed that Bryant's left shoulder was slightly raised, which made him mistakenly think that his opponent was going to break through from the left side, and he quickly adjusted his body weight to the left side for fear of being seized by Bryant. In this moment. Kobe Bryant suddenly turned forward - a jump shot, and the god's special move turned around and jumped shot again.

With just one shoulder feint, Bryant was able to toy the defender with applause, which shows his prowess on the offensive end. Pullup jump shots, driving layups, outside threes, small toss, pull-up shots, free throws, dunks, ...... Kobe Bryant's offensive approach is so comprehensive.

Compared with Li Chen, it is not so high-end. After all, he has only played for one season, and no matter how much he trains in terms of methods, he will not catch up with the level of offensive masters like Kobe and Pierce. However, he also has his own characteristics, and his strong physicality and super accurate shooting are his biggest reliance.

"Do you want to give one back? Boy, let me see how you're doing with your turnaround jumper! After the goal, Bryant looked at his former little brother with a pleasant face, and in any case, he was still the leading side for the time being.

Li Chen didn't say much, but the gesture of asking for the ball had already expressed his attitude. Big Apple's intention to beat Artest has been revealed.

"Kid, I'm not the No. 32 on your team. If you want to beat me, you have to admire your courage, are you ready to be covered? While Artest was carrying Li Chen, he was still talking trash talk.

Li Chen is not in the mood to argue with the loser of the beast, yes, in his opinion, Artest, the guy who fills him is a loser, because no matter how he performs, people will always be free to add a sentence when mentioning him - compared to Cruze Li last season, and this is also the effect Li Chen wants to achieve.

Holding the ball with his back to face a top outside defense expert in the league, Li Chen did not dare to relax too much, he has been in the league for a year, experience is his biggest gain, after experiencing four playoff battles with the Rockets, he knows that Artest, like his nickname, is a complete beast, as long as he is given a little chance, he will take advantage of the fear in the hearts of offensive players.

However, Li Chen, who has various names such as Finals MVP, Best Rookie, and Best of the Week, is not afraid of the beast's defense, especially the complete victory over the Rockets last season, which made him even more confident in the face of Artest.

Tentatively arching his back twice, Li Chen found that the beast's body was still as hard as before, as hard as a fast stone, and it would be a little difficult to force it away with strength.

"If you want to squeeze me away with your physical fitness, you think too much! Don't you know that my nickname is 'The Beast'? Li Chen's childish offensive moves were ridiculous in the eyes of the experienced Atai, and since they were ridiculous, they should be ridiculed.

The failure of the temptation did not discourage Li Chen, he has learned from Kobe Bryant for so long, but what he has learned is not just as simple as turning around and jumping shots, he has been watching the feints of the great god very carefully.

Raising the ball slightly and leaning to the side, "Beast? I thought you were a beast? The sudden ridicule made the beast stunned for a moment, and the instinct of his body forced him to respond to Li Chen's movements. The center of gravity involuntarily shifted to one side, and Artest's defense was already doomed.

Swish! After scoring the goal, Li Chen was unusually arrogant, "Dare to defend me, who gave you such great courage?" Do you still want to give me a fifty cent? ”

Atai blushed and couldn't speak, this was not the first time he had been tricked by this hateful rookie, but he always couldn't learn his lessons, which made him a little melancholy.

The Big Apple pulled one back again, and although it was only the first quarter, the determination of the two teams to beat their opponents had already stirred up the atmosphere at the scene. Because the audience is a spectator, they can unleash their enthusiasm with impunity.

Kobe Bryant held the ball again, this time the god didn't play hard, last season's championship made the Black Mamba change a lot, many times, he already knows how to share the ball, Bynum, Gasol, Artest, and even the old fish Fisher, these people are capable enough to bear his trust.

Artest, who had just been humiliated by Li Chen in the last round, was trusted by Kobe Bryant, and the beast cherished this hard-won opportunity, and he proved with his performance that even if his three-point points were not as accurate as the Big Apple, he could still put the ball in the basket outside the three-point line.

However, what made Artai depressed was that before the Knicks could celebrate, Chandler's quick kickoff made the Knicks suddenly launch a counterattack, unlike the heavy aircraft carrier of the Lakers, the Knicks runabout can speed on the court to their heart's content.

Shooting on the move! Kobe Bryant's handing over the ball does not mean that Li Chen will hand over the ball, he is him, Kobe is Kobe, he is not obliged to do what Kobe Bryant did, not to mention, he has the confidence to put the ball in the basket, and he did it!

"Three points! Don't you think my shooting is much more handsome than yours! (To be continued......)
