The Warriors players gathered around Nelson Sr. and listened to him make the most of his tactical deployments.

ACCORDING TO NBA RULES, A TEAM IS CAPPED AT 15 PLAYERS, BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE TWELVE PLAYERS PER GAME, AND THE REMAINING THREE PLAYERS ARE FROZEN, IN BASKETBALL PARLANCE, 'SUSPENSION, SUSPENDED, UNUSABLE'.

The three Warriors were frozen in this game which was Brand? White, Steele? Rasmay and Stephen? Jackson, the first two of whom were banned for ability, and the latter for being suspended.

Three referees came on, then the referee blew the whistle and the starters from both sides entered the pitch.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers is: center Kwame? Brown, power forward Ronnie? Turyaf, small forward Luke? Wharton, playmaking guard Derek? Fisher, the shooting guard is Kobe.

The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Biedrins, power forward Petrus, small forward Azubuuk, playmaking guard Davis, and scoring guard Ellis.

Seeing this lineup, Barnes, who was sitting next to Chamberlain, laughed loudly, how cheap and cheap that smile was, and with his terrorist appearance, it was really full of banter.

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain asked, puzzled.

Barnes glanced at old Nelson with a sinister eyebrow, and seeing that the latter didn't pay attention to his direction, he said stupidly: "How many points do you think Kobe Bryant can score today?" Ellis is notoriously eye-defending, and I think Kobe Bryant can score 60 points, what do you say? ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, buddy, can you be serious, Kobe Bryant is our sworn enemy.

Old Nelson was deaf, and after Barnes finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the group with a gloomy face.

Chamberlain saw that the old man was unhappy, and immediately expressed his position: "Kobe Bryant must be busy picking up girls this summer, whether he can find the rhythm of the game today is not certain, I think he will not score more than twenty, uh, thirty points!" ”

Hearing this, old Nelson nodded with satisfaction, and Chamberlain sighed in his heart, what Coach Nima hates most is that his subordinates disturb the morale of the army, and his current position in the Warriors is still unstable, so it is better to pat the coach more on the back.

Barnes was so smug that he didn't care about Old Nelson's gaze, looked at Chamberlain defiantly and said, "Do you bet?" I'm betting that Kobe Bryant will score more than 40 points today, do you dare bet he won't score 30 points? ”

Jackson and Barnes high-fived hard, patted their chests and said: "Lao Tzu bet with you, Lao Tzu is the same as Z, just bet that Kobe Bryant will not score more than 30 points!" The old rule, a dollar! ”

Seeing Jackson supporting himself so strongly, Chamberlain was a little moved, since he was diagnosed with gigantism, except for Sacmund, no one has been so good to him for a long time, so he also wanted to bet, after all, they didn't bet much, only one piece or two.

As a result, before he placed a bet, old Nelson suddenly came up and interjected in a low voice: "Give me a bet too, I bet that Kobe Bryant scored more than forty points!" Two bucks. ”

After this scene, Chamberlain felt as if 10,000 grass and mud horses roared through his heart, what the is this team, how unconfident you have to be in Ellis's defense to do this! And the old man, you're the coach of the team, isn't it too much to play like this?

Everyone bet and then looked at Chamberlain, and now everyone except Jackson is betting that Kobe Bryant will score more than 40 points.

Chamberlain faced everyone's gaze, he smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "I bet that Kobe's score will be less than 30 points, ten yuan!" ”

In fact, Chamberlain knew that he would definitely lose, and since the 2003 Eagle County incident, Kobe Bryant has been criticized by fans, and for this paranoid, the pressure caused by these criticisms is his motivation to move forward. It was from 2003 that Kobe Bryant made the leap from a first-list star to a superstar on the court, and he has been improving and never stopped moving forward.

And in 2005, O'Neill traveled east to Miami and Dwyane? Wade formed an invincible inside and outside combination, and won the NBA championship that season. And without O'Neal, the Lakers' record is declining, and they were not even as good as the Warriors last season, and they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

This summer, Bryant has suffered even more criticism, as he is considered by fans to be the culprit in forcing O'Neal away, and has been blamed for the team's record. In this regard, Kobe Bryant was waiting to vent with a bad anger in his heart, and all summer, when other stars were busy traveling and picking up girls, he practiced hard in the training hall and the Lilu Measurement Room, just waiting for the game to use practical actions to fight those who criticized him after the game.

For a player of Kobe's level, the preseason is just a bird feather, and he won't take it seriously, and what really interests him is the regular season.

Unfortunately, the Warriors became the Lakers' first opponent in the regular season, and even more unfortunately, Ellis, who was going to play against Kobe Bryant in this game, was a defensive sieve.

So, before the game, everyone expected Kobe Bryant to explode, and now all that is uncertain is the level of outburst, whether to score 50 points or 60 points? Or even break the 81-point record held by Kobe Bryant himself at Staples Arena?

Don't think that the media in Los Angeles is exaggerating, the Warriors are a notoriously bad defensive team, and Ellis is the worst defensive one in this team, if the old Nelson really arranged for Ellis to play against Kobe all the time, then Kobe Bryant scored 81 points today is really not impossible.

In the 2007 season, Kobe Bryant has become the most terrifying scoring machine in the league, you can say that he is a lone wolf, you can say that he is a cancer of the team, you can say that he is a locker room poison, but his scoring ability can never be doubted.

Chamberlain knew this, but he still chose to bet on the losing side, just because Jackson had already stood up for him, and he had to follow Jackson. Besides, five or ten yuan, it doesn't matter if you win or lose a game of this specification, it's good to be happy.

In the midst of all the fighting, the 2007-08 NBA season opener began.

Under the arrangement of the three referees, the starters of both sides stood in the middle of the court, and Bynum and Biedrins came face to face to prepare for the jump ball.

Bynum and Biedrins are two extremes, the former's physical fitness is too good, the name of the little shark is not called in vain, but this guy has a bad brain, he is a brain-dead, and his IQ is 108,000 miles worse than that of the big shark O'Neal.

Biedrins, on the other hand, is just the opposite, and his physical fitness is only average among whites, let alone compared to black sticks. But he's smart and has a high ball quotient, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get along with the Warriors.

Unfortunately, the jump ball is not very demanding, as long as you can jump, the referee threw the ball into the air, Biedrins just stood on tiptoe, Bynum had already soared into the sky, and slapped the ball into Kobe's hands.

Seeing Kobe Bryant get the ball, thunderous cheers suddenly rang out in the Staples Center arena, and countless people shouted 'MVP', and the scene was really exciting.

Everyone thought that Kobe Bryant was about to use his personal ability to launch a one-sided slaughter, but maybe it was because he didn't get back his touch after a summer of rest, or maybe it was because the opening game was too important and brought pressure to the players, Kobe Bryant didn't break through the first ball, and simply made a long shot, but the ball was lost.

It's not just Kobe Bryant, the starters of both teams played a little restrained after the opening. Kobe Bryant didn't attack for a long time, and the Warriors bombarded the Lakers' hoop indiscriminately, and the result was that N shot 0, and the game started more than two minutes, and the scoreboard was still scarlet 0:0.

Seeing this scene, Chamberlain was happy, he turned his elbow at Jackson and smiled: "Martial Saint, we may win the bet, Ha Luha, is Kobe Bryant here today to be the eldest aunt?" Looking at his performance, it's too inferior. ”

Jackson showed a malicious smile on his face, and he smiled hesitantly: "Boy, you'd better pray that Kobe really comes to the eldest aunt, otherwise you will be miserable, and promise God that you will really be miserable!" ”

Chamberlain didn't know why, he just wanted to ask a question, but at this time, the situation on the court changed abruptly.

After three minutes of probing, Kobe Bryant finally showed his fangs, and in the face of Ellis's eye defense, Peter Pan held the ball and burst into the interior line to dunk directly. Then Davis passed the ball to Petrus on the inside and met Kwame? Brown steals, Lakers defend and counterattack, and Bryant hits Ellis with his back and hits a step-back jumper.

After Kobe Bryant scored four points in a row, the eyes of the muddy Warriors players turned red, and Davis broke through from the baseline into the restricted area, attracting Bynum to make up for the defense and then passing the ball to Ellis on the outside.

Loophole in the restricted area, Ellis took advantage of Azubuuk's blocking to shake off Kobe Bryant and Wharton, and rushed into the interior to easily pick and basket and cut down two points.

"Well done!" Chamberlain roared with a towel, and Jackson was startled by his sudden howl, and exclaimed in horror, "Man, what the hell are you doing?" Fuck, scared the hell out of my brother! ”

Chamberlain sneered: "I am too excited and excited, please understand." ”

Barnes said lazily: "Rookie, it's not the first time you've watched the NBA live, right?" ”

Chamberlain smiled embarrassedly, he didn't argue, because this is a fact, his family situation is too difficult, and a ticket of hundreds of dollars is a huge amount of money for him, he can only watch the live broadcast or broadcast in front of the TV, how can he go to watch the NBA live game? But he watched a lot of NBDL games because he had a friend who was playing in NBDL.

Seeing this, Jackson and the others were shocked, Harrington patted him on the shoulder and said, "Damn, boy, you are really a wonder, I hope you don't behave too lame after you play, if you dare to do anything to make us embarrassed, damn it, I swear to God, I will make you regret coming to the Golden State Gangsters!" ”

While a few people were talking, Bryant assisted Fisher on a three-pointer to bring the score to 7:2.

Seeing the opponent's performance so stylish, Ellis felt disgraced, he did not perform well on the defensive end, and could only make up for his shortcomings on the offensive end, so he lifted his spirits and reached out to ask for the ball to play alone, seeing this, old Nelson stood up and yelled: "Stupid, do you think this is a street court?" Get me out of position! Get in the right place, don't play heads-up for me! ”

Nelson Sr. is the staunchest team basketball executive of all coaches in the NBA, which can be seen from the fact that the team has never been a superstar under his rule, you must know that when he directed the Mavericks, Nash and Nowitzki were ordinary first-line stars, but after he left, the two immediately rose to become international superstars.

Ellis glanced at Nelson Sr. worriedly, and just when everyone thought he would pass and run as the latter commanded, he stood up to Kobe Bryant from outside the three-point line and simply slashed a three-pointer.

", stinky boy!" Old Nelson scolded and sat down again.
