8 games, 5 wins and 3 losses, the team ran in very well, during this period Lei Lei and Howard did not play much, almost all of them were carried out by substitutes.

October 26, Staples Arena

NBA 2016-17 season opening week.

The Lakers host the Houston Rockets.

"In the first game of the new season, we will face our old club Rockets, what do you think of the choice between Harden and you?"

Howard smiled at the reporter's interview and said: "I don't have an opinion, I respect their choice, but after this game I believe they will definitely regret making this choice." ”

Lei Lei came early and didn't meet reporters, he didn't want to be interviewed, Los Angeles reporters wouldn't embarrass him, but reporters from other regions really dug holes for him.

······

"Hello friends in front of the audience, welcome to watch the 2016-17 American Men's Basketball Professional League, the Houston Rockets away against the Los Angeles Lakers, this game by my Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping teacher to explain for you."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Howard's first game when he joins the Lakers in the new season against his old club Rockets?"

"I think the Lakers, they're going to defend their home court."

"Oh?"

"You see, the Lakers guard line has Lei Lei, Clarkson, the front line has this year's new Tanhua, Brown, as well as my country's Yi Jianlian, center Howard, just looking at this lineup is higher than many teams in the league."

"Indeed, Lei Lei and Yi Jianlian in particular led the men's basketball team to the Olympic silver medal this summer, and they have maintained their competitive form in the offseason."

"Yes, Los Angeles reports say that the goal of the Lakers this year is no longer to enter the playoffs, but to chase the championship, with Kobe's retirement, the team's salary space has become larger, and the Lakers have found Howard for Lei Lei, seriously, if the two cooperate well, they may really have the taste of the OK group combination."

"The game is about to start, the Lakers starting lineup: Clarkson, Lei Lei, Brown, Yi Jianlian, Howard."

"Rockets starters: Harden, Gordon, McDaniels, Ariza, Capela."

Howard jumped all out and touched the basketball before Capela to win the ball for the Lakers.

Clarkson received the pass and did not bring it himself, but passed the ball to Lei Lei.

He received the pass and came to the front court very casually, and the protagonist of this game was not him, he knew very well in his heart.

Howard was very positive at the beginning of this game, coming to the top of the arc to block and dismantle Lei Lei.

Lei Lei used the block to remove Harden and did not rush to attack, but waited for Capela to step forward and Howard to go down.

At this time, he saw Howard reach for the ball, and he immediately threw the ball into the air.

'Bang-'

Howard started the game with a dunk in the air relay to take the Lakers first.

0:2

Today, Staples Arena is also full of people.

"Howard!

！

”

"Welcome home!

！

”

"Ray, I love you!

！ ”

"Well done, just kick their asses!

！ ”

"Let the Rockets lose today, let them roll back to Houston!

”

Lakers fans are very optimistic about the combination of Lei Lei and Howard, both of whom are good offensive and defensive players, and Howard has won a DPOY! used to be a player who replaced James alone, and one person formed a defensive system, don't look at it now at the end of the peak, if you meet someone who will use him, it will be a big weapon!

The duo high-fived their fans in a tactic that has been tried and tested in preseason and intra-team matches.

The defenders don't know whether to change the defense or not, it's not good for these two to put anyone, Lei Lei can train the big man in the military, and Howard can attract the bag inside.

If you don't step forward, Lei Lei can shoot, which is a headache for such players and coaches.

Mike D'Antoni frowned on the sidelines, and the defensive tactical arrangements made before the game were all in vain.

Rocket ball possession.

Harden came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Capela to help Harden attract Lei Lei and form a dislocation.

Capela stood in the bottom corner, waiting for Harden to attack singlely.

Harden faced Howard's defense at the top of the arc, and after a dribble with bells and whistles, he made a classic step-back three-point shot.

'Bang-'

Howard reacted quickly, and when Harden shot, he didn't defend too tightly for fear of being fouled by him, but jumped high when he shot to affect his shooting, not giving him a little room to make fouls.

Capela wanted to go into the restricted area to grab a rebound, but Lei Lei was not a weak chicken last season, and the two were about the same height.

The Lakers' counterattack opportunity, Clarkson had already run to the halfcourt, but the Rockets' return defense was very fast, and Clarkson did not have any offensive space in the frontcourt, so he had to stand in the bottom corner and wait for his teammates to arrive.

Lei Lei came to the frontcourt, put the ball in Yi Jianlian's hands, and used Howard's blocking to cut into the inside.

Yi Jianlian and Lei Lei often used this trick in the Olympics, he hit the ground and passed the ball to the inside.

'Brush-'

Lei Lei dodged Capela's block in the air and scored the ball with the blue on the top.

0:4

Now the five starters on the Lakers' court, except for Clarkson, are basically offensive and defensive players, who can attack and defend, and I don't believe that there is a team that is not lost.

The fans in Los Angeles are also very happy to see this lineup, it has been a long time since they have played such a rich battle.

Jack Nicholson shouted from the sidelines, "Ray, well done, just hit like this, blow up the Houstoners!" Let them have no return! ”

Nicholson did not leave the Lakers after Kobe Bryant retired, but continued to support the Lakers, because the Lakers have his favorite star again, Lei Lei!

He wants to see the Lakers win another championship in his later years, or build a dynasty!

When Lei Lei passed by him, he pointed at him with a smile, because Lei Lei heard everything he said, people were in the front row, and the sound was very clear in the noisy stadium, don't look at him old, but old should be strong! There are also a few young models that Lei Lei doesn't know, and I don't know if it's a little girlfriend.

Jenner was also biting her fingers on the sidelines to watch the game, and she didn't want to miss a game at the Lakers' home court.

"Ahh

！ ”

"He's coming!

！ ”

"He's coming!

！

”

"He's back!

！ ”

Suddenly there was a fierce shout in the stadium!
