Chapter 165: Kobe Bryant is here

The live director focuses the camera on the people who make the audience boil.

“kobe!

“kobe!

“kobe!

“kobe!

That's right, this person is Kobe Bryant, dressed very casually, holding Gigi with one hand and greeting the fans at the scene with the other.

His presence made the fans in Staples Arena go crazy!

"Kobe Bryant also appeared on the scene!"

"Hey, Kobe Bryant is here, this is his first appearance since retiring, right?"

Wei Ping Bryant also cheered up when he saw Kobe's appearance.

Lei Lei, who was at the scene, thought who was coming, no one in Los Angeles could steal his limelight except this man.

Bryant and Gigi sat next to Nicholson, he looked up at the scoreboard, the Lakers were ahead, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Today is also Kobe's first appearance in front of the public since retiring, and it is also the first time he has returned to Staples Arena since retiring.

Gigi pointed to Howard on the field and said, "Dad, is he your former teammate?" ”

Kobe Bryant said gently: "Yes, he was once one of the best centers in the league. ”

"Oh, then he will definitely be of great help to Ray."

Nicholson smiled when he heard Gigi's words and said, "The combination of the two of them will probably win more championships than the OK combination." ”

"Why?"

"Because of the thunder!"

"yes."

Bryant was a little upset when he heard the conversation between the old and the young, he knew that Gigi often hit him, but he didn't expect Nicholson to switch so quickly.

Kobe Bryant said to Nicholson: "Dude, I'm going to be very sad if you say that." ”

"No, no, no, Kobe Bryant, you have to accept the reality, Ray is better than your contemporaries, and you didn't have his performance in your rookie period."

"Well, you're right."

Kobe Bryant had to admit that Lei Lei's start was the peak!

While several people were talking, the Rockets scored.

Gordon used his off-ball run to shake off Clarkson, received a pass at 45° and scored from mid-range to earn the Rockets' first goal.

2:4

Clarkson came up front with the ball, he now knows where he is, he doesn't need to score too many points in the starting lineup, but he gets the ball into the hands of these guys, and it's his job to get the damn ball in when there's space to receive a pass.

Lei Lei and Brown ran to the sides from the inside, crossover tactics, and Lei Lei attracted a lot of Rockets players to defend when he was running.

Their attention was also on Lei Lei, and Brown took the opportunity to run out of the open space and receive a pass in the bottom corner to shoot.

'Bang-'

Brown's first game of his debut ended with a shot.

The basket has long been in a mess, Howard and Capela are entangled together, once upon a time, Capela was still a substitute for Master Huo in the Rockets, and Capela successfully took the position after he left.

On the other side, Yi Jianlian was also entangled with Ariza, but it was Yi Jianlian who stuck Ariza.

Yi Jianlian successfully judged the landing point, pocketed the ball, did not rush to shoot, but passed the ball to a 45° position, he firmly believed that there would be someone in that place.

Sure enough, Lei Lei was here, he made a shooting move, and Harden thought he was going to shoot and jumped with all his might.

'Beep-'

Seeing this, Lei Lei leaned on Harden and threw the ball, his movements were very exaggerated, and he sat on the ground.

'Bang-'

The basketball didn't go into the basket, the referee signaled for Harden to shoot for a foul, and Lei Lei made two free throws.

Harden's eyes widened, and he spread his hands out to the referee and said, "Why is this blowing foul?" He posted me. ”

When the referee heard this, he gave Harden a blank look, saying that you didn't count it in your heart?

Lei Lei was dragged up by Yi Jianlian and Brown, walked to Harden's side and said cheaply: "Your trick is really useful, tsk, free throw weapon." ”

"Hahaha!"

"Look, Harden's face is green!

"His beard is swinging, and I'm laughing to death!"

"He certainly didn't expect someone to use his tricks against him!"

"Lei Gan's beauty also makes him feel like this often!"

The Lakers fans in the Staples Arena were full of ridicule after seeing Harden's expression, they didn't like Harden's way of playing very much, although Harden made reasonable use of basketball rules, but he played so ugly, the viewing was not strong, you can fight against it, you always cheat and foul.

Harden averaged 29.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game last season, and also averaged 8.8 free throws per game.

'Brush-'

'Brush-'

Lei Lei hit both free throws.

2:6

Seeing this, D'Antoni had to call a timeout, and after more than a minute of the opening game, the Rockets guessed 2 points, can you believe it?

Scott immediately set up the tactics when the players returned to the sidelines, saying: "Wait for Clarkson to hold the ball, look for Lei Lei and Brown, Howard and Yi Jianlian on the inside must pass the ball in when they have an opportunity, make it easier to score, the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, my twin towers this year can be said to be among the best in the NBA, and everyone must protect the rebounds and not let the Rockets win a second chance to attack." ”

Howard nodded firmly, Scott didn't say that he would do the same, he didn't want to fall into the first matchup, he wanted to make the management of the Rockets look good, let them give up on themselves must make them regret it.

Yi Jianlian wiped his sweat and nodded, he knew that his current status in the Lakers was because of Lei Lei, and he had to use the game to prove that he was not a relation, and he was also a very powerful player.

D'Antoni instructed the Rockets players to defend their target players, and decisively change defenses when they encounter blocking, and change defenses infinitely.

Especially Lei Lei, he must be careful when he takes the ball, they can all see that Lei Lei is playing very casually this season, not doing it alone like last season, but choosing to trust his teammates.

D'Antoni also specifically instructed Harden to play decisively when he encounters a misplaced opportunity, especially against Brown, he is a rookie, and it is easiest to beat him, or play Clarkson.

The Rockets players' eyes lit up instantly when they heard these two people, this is a good opportunity, these two people have a defensive colander and a rookie who has just entered the league, and these two scoring points are the best to play, don't look at Yi Jianlian's return to the NBA this year, but they all see his performance in the Olympics, Yi Jianlian is the most suitable interior line in the emerging small-ball era, and his vision is also very good, he can pass the ball when he encounters a bag, they don't want to play this point to make it easier for the Lakers to score.

Temporarily returned.

Harden came to the front court with the ball, and this time instead of letting Capela come forward to block the pick-and-roll, they acted as a dealer.

Lei Lei looked at him with a smile on his face, Gordon used the off-ball block to shake off Clarkson and run out of the open space, and Harden immediately passed the ball to him.

'Brush-'

Gordon hit a three-point catcher shot.

5:6

The difference came to one point.
