The Los Angeles Lakers, who suffered their worst Waterloo last season.

Ranked second in the regular season and ranked first in overall strength, sitting on superstar Kobe Bryant, they should have won the championship, but they failed to cross the last hurdle, the Houston Rockets, the little giant who is 2.26 meters tall, snatched the final championship trophy from the hands of the Purple and Gold Army!

Unfortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers both lost the finals, and what was thought to be a cross-century battle, the alternation between the old and new generations of kings, could not be realized for various reasons.

Let's be honest, the Los Angeles Lakers are one step away from winning the championship!

Yes!

As long as they can make it to the Finals, neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Orlando Magic will be their opponents.

The Wild West, there are only a handful of people who can stop them!

"A successful season?"

"No!"

"We were a failure last season!"

Bryant said this in an interview with reporters.

"Only the team that wins the championship can be called successful, am I the best in the league? NO！ The strongest person now is Yao Ming from Houston. ”

"I had the opportunity to fight alongside him, but you know very well how much Yao Ming's love for Houston is deep."

"It's a shame that I can't work with a center forward like this, but I enjoy playing with him and if we meet again this year, I will definitely get my revenge!"

Kobe Bryant generously blessed Yao Ming and re-established his goal.

Los Angeles Lakers, the goal of the new season is still the final championship trophy!

It is worth mentioning.

After the Rockets won the championship, Artest did not choose to leave, but renewed his contract with the Rockets to continue his basketball career in Space City.

Ariza stayed with the Lakers because of this, and the strength of the Purple and Gold Army is still extremely strong!

Bynum was also angry after being beaten by Yao Ming, and even took the initiative to find his boss, and has been doing targeted training in the offseason, with more skillful steps under the basket and a more positive defensive attitude, it is not difficult to see from the two games, especially the game against the Mavericks, although the Lakers lost to Dallas, the performance of the Little Shark is still very eye-catching.

The strength does not decrease but increases!

After another failure last season, everyone knows in their hearts that if the Lakers don't win the championship again, Kobe Bryant may have to start the rampage mode again!

At the home of the Thunder, an hour before the start of the game, Kobe Bryant was warming up in the court, and for no reason he felt eyes behind him.

If you think about it with your ass, it must be Lin Mu, this kid.

Looking back, sure enough, Lin Mu came to him with a basketball and a smile, and the first sentence he said made Kobe Bryant directly break the defense.

"Young, isn't this Kobe Bryant, the second in the West, what's the matter, a chance to play?"

Your mother sells batches every day!

Kobe Bryant is furious, you guy who spews feces with a mouth, it's just hateful!

"I don't know who it was, I was defeated 4:1 and almost swept the fishing."

Kobe Bryant is not to be outdone, but who is Lin Mu, he is notoriously thick-skinned.

"You're so embarrassed!"

"How old are we? How old are you? ”

"You know, your goal is to win the championship!"

"We just need to make the playoffs, and we don't have too many other requirements, at least we have exceeded the quota."

"Unlike some people..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

The last laugh hit the heart, and Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.

Generally speaking, there will be no rookie like Lin Mu in the NBA.

In the face of superstars, how respectful and how to come, they almost knelt on the ground and shouted big brother.

When he arrived at Lin Mu, it would be good if Kobe Bryant didn't get angry!

Thanks to him for teaching Lin Mu a lot of things before, he also recommended Lin Mu to go to the UCLA Bruins, and because he helped him speak when he was ridiculed by media reporters, his conscience was eaten by dogs!

"Don't mind, just kidding."

"I watched your Western Conference Finals last season, and it's a shame, it's just a little bit short!"

"One thing to say, boss, your performance is good enough, it's not you who is bad, it's your entire team, you don't have any problems!"

"Believe in yourself and you're the best!"

After speaking, Lin Mu walked away, and before leaving, he also greeted Kobe, don't leave after the game, he wants to do a good job of the friendship of the landlord.

Kobe Bryant was a little sluggish, standing still and not knowing what to do.

This kid speaks a little well, but why does it taste wrong?

Does he praise himself or scold himself?

Enigmatical?

"TMD, you see if I don't do it later, you'll be done!"

Kobe Bryant was holding back a fire in his heart, it was ignited by Lin Mu, the great Purple Gold Army will definitely make Thunder lose face today!

At the moment when Lin Mu and Kobe Bryant talked, the camera on the sidelines had already captured the picture of the two.

At the beginning, the two were still talking and laughing, but suddenly, Kobe's face was pale, and Lin Mu's smile became even brighter.

After a playful wink, Lin Mu dropped Kobe Bryant, who was a little unhappy, and walked away like that.

Bryant stomped his feet in place, muttering words in his mouth, but his voice was too low to capture any information at all.

"What did they say?"

The most concerned is nothing more than our Coach Zhang, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, although there is more meat in the palms, but Coach Zhang's love for the two is about the same.

If you want to say who you support, of course it's Lin Mu, you still need to ask?

After all, the blood flowing in the bodies of the two comes from the same land.

"It's on!"

With a whistle, the two teams that met in the playoffs last season ignited the fire again!

Who will win the game?

"Do you still need to ask? The Thunder's youth army is really not good, and they have no power to fight back against the Los Angeles Lakers! ”

"I remember the scene of last season, the Lakers were too heavy, and it was difficult for the Thunder to win against them."

"I said, Los Angeles will win this year! God can't do it! ”

Obviously, fans are more optimistic about the Lakers taking away the victory on the road, and the Thunder are stronger, but in just a few months, it is very difficult to make a qualitative change.

Soon, both sides appeared on the big screen for the first time.

Los Angeles Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Pau Gasol and Bynum.

The line-up is exactly the same as last season, with no changes.

The only thing that may change is the inner state of the players.

Last season's defeat left some players feeling very disappointed, and despite their best efforts, they still came back defeated.

What you can't get is always in turmoil.

More eagerness is spreading within the Lakers, and this year's battle against the water will surely launch a stronger impact on the championship!

Whereas!

Last season's defeat was the Oklahoma City Thunder, and they didn't take their opponents seriously in the slightest.

Thunder's starting five: Holiday , Danny Green, Lin Mu, Durant and 28 cards!

A new lineup, a new system!

Scott adopted Lin Mu's suggestion, all five players have a certain range, Holiday , Danny Green and Durant three-point shooting rate is above 36%, 28 cards of mid-range shooting, coupled with Lin Mu's more accurate mid-range and long-range range, the Thunder are all on the line while having an offensive threat.

Except for Durant, who is slightly worse in physical confrontation, the other four are considered top leaders in their respective defensive positions.

Despite their young age, the talent and months of hard work in their bones helped them quickly settle into the rhythm of the NBA game.

Compared to last season's roster, the Thunder guard line has been greatly enhanced.

Lowry is not tall enough and does not have outstanding mobility ability, and Sephorosa in the second position has no offensive ability at all, and there is a lack of offensive point for no reason, and the task of the rest of the Thunder will become heavier.

On the bench, there are no good role players, Watson is decent, Dragic also has an Achilles' heel, and there is no player who can attack at the second position.

What's more, Lin Mu has become more terrifying than last season!

With the improvement of comprehensiveness, Thunder's comprehensive strength has achieved a huge leap!

Three days, be impressed!

If the Lakers take it lightly, the Thunder will definitely give them a head start!

Bynum won the first wave of possession, Kobe Bryant did not rush to attack, Zen Master's tactics are very obvious, the targeted use of superstars, and the key role of superstars in critical moments is far more effective than letting superstars attack at the beginning and consume a lot of physical energy.

Bryant doesn't just attack, his passing is just as good.

It's just that the super offensive attributes belie Kobe's talent for passing.

Compared to those all-time guards, if Kobe Bryant is focused on organizing the offense, relying on strong individual ability, and passing the basketball out at the moment of attracting the defense, his level can at least reach the All-Star level.

The young Danny Green doesn't move as quickly, but his good defensive anticipation and excellent static talent allow him to do his job on the defensive end well.

Kobe Bryant glanced at Danny Green in front of him, when will he be able to play the team's main team in the second round?

It's very strange in his heart, he is getting more and more unable to understand the operation of the Thunder offseason.

First, Jeff Green, who played well in the playoffs, was traded to the Timberwolves, and then sent away Watson, the only one on the team with a rotation level, this is not a tear sale, this is simply a charity deal!

Of course!

Lin Mu would never tell Kobe Bryant that this kid who was exchanged for Jeff Green would break your scoring streak in the future, and his scoring explosiveness was not inferior to you at your peak.

James Harden, this is Lin Mu's trump card!

Gasol blocked, Kobe Bryant used his own threat to attract Durant and hoisted the ball to Gasol who went down, Green was able to defend from one to three, but the height of four was really difficult for him, Gasol easily hooked his hand and hit the basket.

This is the tactical bonus brought by the strong point of holding the ball, Kobe's strong offensive attributes make you dare not relax in the slightest, Durant can't return to defense, in the case of exchanging defenses, Gasol who blocks and dismantles with Kobe Bryant also has strong offensive ability, an inch long and an inch strong, in the basketball field, talented players can really do whatever they want!

Anticipating the Lakers' regular tactics, Scott didn't have the slightest concern.

It's just the regular season, but it's just a test of the waters.

If it really comes to the playoffs, Danny Green's defensive enthusiasm will never be like this, and Scott will sternly tell him to bypass Gasol and give Kobe enough defensive pressure.

The thunder attacked, and the recruit Holiday was obviously a little unable to let go.

Fisher, as a veteran, certainly saw Holiday nervous.

Without hesitation, he went up and tried to cause the opponent to make a mistake in an oppressive way.

Fortunately, Holiday was also physically tough, not disturbed much, stabilized his mentality, and reorganized the dribble.

Lin Mu and Holiday blocked and dismantled, Ariza switched to the No. 1 position, Danny Green crossed and ran under the cover of the two, Rao Kobe Bryant couldn't catch up with Green's rhythm, pulled to the left 45-degree angle, received Holiday passes, and Danny Green fired on the outside!

"Brush!"

Accurate hits!

“Yes！

”

As the basketball entered the net, Danny Green also raised his hands excitedly.

Shooting a three-pointer in front of the Los Angeles Lakers is a great feeling!

Looking at Danny Green in a state of excitement, the Zen master always felt that Thunder had changed differently.

Shooting guards are starting to try three-point shots from the outside?

You know, this is something that never happened last season.

It is not difficult to see from the Thunder's running position that this is a tactic specially designed for Danny Green, a second-round rookie, worthy of the Thunder coach's attention?

It's a little strange that the Zen master, at least in Danny Green, doesn't see the potential of that kind of top guard, at most rotation players, no more!

The concept of a 3-and-D player has not yet been popularized, and it is difficult for Rao to see the potential of Danny Green.

Doesn't occupy the ball, runs aggressively, defends well, and has a great outside touch.

The era of small ball is coming, Danny Green at his peak is the team puzzle that all teams dream of, just like Holiday in general, top defense, with a certain degree of three-point shooting, and also has a big heart attribute, the Spurs, Menglong and Bucks are just around the corner, no one will have too many such players!

Lin Mu consciously cultivated them in this aspect, and now that Ku Ritian has not officially opened the era of small ball, they are also indispensable for every team with excellent defense, with Jordan Jr., 28 cards, and Collison such a tough inside, once the league changes, the Thunder will complete the transformation in the fastest time.

As long as I'm here, the future of this team will always be bright!

Offense and defense switch, the Lakers draw a scoop according to the gourd, this time Danny Green learned to be smart, grabbed further, did not give Kobe a good passing opportunity, Black Mamba divided Fisher, Lin Mu once rushed out, the fast break after the steal, Lin Mu added full horsepower, came to the front court is a strong dunk, and shook his head towards Kobe Bryant after landing, the meaning of the provocation is very obvious.

At the end of the first quarter, many fans watching the game couldn't understand that the Lakers were defeated in the clash with the Thunder?

Whether it is the main lineup or the strength of the bench, the Thunder's combat effectiveness seems to be stronger?

"Boss, give us some strength, we are not easy to deal with this year, be careful of capsizing in the gutter!"

Lin Mu said to Kobe Bryant with a grin.

Kobe, who was already in a bad mood, was even more irritable, and when he came to the bench, he sprayed wildly: "Cheer up!" If you lose today, don't think about it! ”

The Zen master also straightened his mind, and after 12 minutes of observation, he understood that the Thunder were no longer the same as they were last season, and if they didn't take it seriously, they could really lose the game.

"Give it your all! Today's thunder deserves our seriousness! ”
