Seeing that O'Neill also retreated from injury,

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson's side quickly adjusted his strategy, encouraging Kobe and Odom to rush more into the box on the offensive end, causing damage.

Wade and O'Neal are not at the same time, and the overall strength of the Heat has almost been reduced from super-first-class to second-rate.

Although Lin Fei's personal strength is no longer weaker than Kobe, he even surpasses Kobe in three-point and defense.

But in the opinion of the "Zen Master", Lin Fei's overall ability to lead the team is still weaker than Kobe, after all, his defects in passing are too obvious.

As long as Lin Fei is strictly encapsulated on the defensive end, his personal scoring ability will be greatly reduced.

The advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious, and the current Lin Fei is obviously unable to become a qualified single-core leader of the team.

Come up and the Lakers attack,

Kobe Bryant continued to use the cover to force the basket, but this time Lin Fei's sparing defense was very timely, and roughly formed a decisive trap for Kobe Bryant in the restricted area.

Bryant didn't choose to pass the ball easily, but forced a layup with the two of them.

Lin Fei's long arm effectively interfered with Kobe's shot in the air, the basketball bounce frame missed, and the rebound was roughly obtained.

The Heat countered the fast break.

Lin Fei's three-point shot on the outside this time was also interfered with by Kobe Bryant and Odom, and he also missed the iron.

"Bang dang!"

The defensive focus on both sides is on Kobe Bryant and Lin Fei, which also gives the role players more opportunities to perform.

Kobe Bryant was involved in Lin Fei's defense on the outside, Odom received the ball and hit Haslem on his side, and after shaking his back, he directly turned over and broke through, and passed the opponent with an acceleration.

"Whoosh!"

After hitting the basket, Odom attracted a general defense, and after taking off, he unleashed a deft back pass to accurately give the ball to Chris Mime, who was receiving on the right side.

Center Mime received Odom's pass and seemed to be accustomed to the operation of the left-handed magician, jumping decisively in the face of an empty basket and directly sending a two-handed dunk.

"Boom!"

This breakthrough ball showed Odom's all-round skills in the power forward position, and the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines, also nodded slightly with a calm face.

There's no doubt that Odom is talented, but he clearly didn't work hard enough and wasn't focused during the game.

If these flaws can be addressed, "Zen Master" is sure to send Odom to the Western Conference All-Star bench this season.

Kobe Bryant also took the initiative to come up and high-five Odom in the defense, encouraging him to play the ball beautifully.

Lin Fei was closely chased by Kobe Bryant, and once he got the ball, he was trapped, so the role players of the Heat team quickly stepped up.

Jason Williams held the ball high in the front court, and made a pick-and-roll cooperation with the raised one, and in the misplaced breakaway, he returned the ball without looking at the man, and quickly gave the ball to the rough hand.

Roughly seized the opportunity of the open position, and the three-pointer got up and down and hit it steadily.

"Huh!"

After winning the championship with the Heat last season, his general self-confidence has also improved dramatically, and he has been training aggressively in the offseason, especially in mid-to-long-range projection, and has become more confident.

Odom came over and tried to make a mid-range shot, but he missed the crosshairs and missed the basketball frame.

"Bang dang!"

However, Kobe Bryant rushed to the basket in a diagonal stab at this time, and under the cover of Mime, he jumped up to grab the offensive rebound and directly sent a one-arm dunk.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei chased the ball very tightly, but still couldn't stop Kobe's dunk.

In fact, Kobe Bryant has long found out that Lin Fei not only has a poor passing level in the game, but also has an indescribable ability to compete for rebounds.

Averaged only about 1 assist and rebound per game, which is disastrous even for a guard player.

"Without Shaquille, the Heat's overall rebounding ability is greatly reduced, which is indeed a big hidden danger for winning the Lakers!"

"After a full offseason of training, Lin still hasn't improved much in terms of passing and rebounding, which is really a shame for the fans!"

In retrospect, Williams' pass was too risky, and it was tackled by Smush Parker, and the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack.

Lin Fei and Sean Battier quickly returned to defense, but Bryant still seized the opportunity, broke through to a pull-up jumper, and hit the half-volley again.

"Huh!"

Heat (9) :(10) Lakers.

A wave of 6:3, Kobe Bryant also helped the Lakers quickly complete the overtake.

The Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena also began to frown, feeling that Lin Fei's state at the beginning of tonight didn't seem to be too excited!

came up and scored 8 points in a row by Kobe, and Lin Fei also did not show too much strength on the defensive end.

"Without Shaquille and Dwayne's on-court containment, Lin has a bigger challenge on both ends of the floor, can he handle it?"

"Kobe Bryant obviously came prepared tonight, and he was in full shape as soon as he came on the court, and it seems that the failure of last season has greatly motivated Kobe!"

Stan Van Gundy didn't rush to call a timeout, after all, the game had just begun, and he believed that Lin Fei would be able to make adjustments soon.

Sure enough, in a subsequent offense by the Heat,

Lin Fei took advantage of the continuous cover of his teammates, received a pass from Williams in the middle of the run, and faced Kobe and Odom who were defending at the same time outside the three-point line on the right side.

First, he protected the ball sideways and made a physical confrontation with Kobe, and then lowered the center and stepped back continuously, completely shaking Odom with a realistic worship.

Then a sharp break passed Odom and forced a three-point shot against Kobe.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes to the net.

The third.

After less than three minutes of silence, Lin Fei was not afraid of Kobe Bryant and Odom's bag, and with one against two, through skillful dribbling and tough confrontation, he hit a difficult three-pointer.

"OMG, this is the Lin we are familiar with, in the face of Kobe and Lamar's bag can hit three-point shots, Lin's technical completion is really too high!"

The American Airlines Arena instantly resounded with the cheers of the fans, and Lin Fei's performance had just begun.

Back on the defensive end, Kobe, who was hot, was obviously a little angry, and did not call his teammates to block and dismantle, but took the initiative to pick up Lin Fei alone.

After a series of dribbles to get rid of, Kobe Bryant burst sideways, went down to his comfortable shooting area, hit Lin Fei twice with his back, turned over and leaned back, and shot at Lin Fei's lightning.

This is a very standard singles step-back shot, whether it is confusing, confrontation power, speed and fallback amp, shot height,

Kobe Bryant has almost done his current limit,

But Lin Fei's defense this time was also perfect.

"Smack!"

In the crisp sound, Kobe Bryant's pupils dilated, and he unbelievably witnessed the basketball flying out of his fingertips, and was slammed down by Lin Fei's big hand that jumped up suddenly.

"This ......"

Kobe couldn't believe it, the whole person was looking up at Lin Fei at this time, why did this guy suddenly jump so high?

After winning the championship with the team last season, Lin Fei also received a tenfold bouncing training card rewarded by the system.

Now, after a whole offseason of training, Lin Fei's bounce height has also improved significantly.

The bounce on the spot has increased from 75 centimeters to 78 centimeters.

The run-up jump has also increased from 91 cm to 95 cm.

Although it is only a 5 cm improvement, it is already a qualitative leap in physical fitness for an adult athlete.

Only then did Lin Fei block Kobe's back-to-back jumper in the front, which was borrowed from the light of the three or four centimeters of bounce height increase.

After the cover landed, Lin Fei didn't stop, he passed Kobe Bryant with one acceleration, rushed into the front court quickly, and grabbed the basketball with his big hand and hit the basket directly.

Kobe, who was blocked, was naturally angry, gritted his teeth and flew after him......

"Whoosh!"

After stepping two steps across the middle line, Lin Fei felt Kobe Bryant rushing up on the right side, and suddenly stopped and moved sideways during the trip, tilted his body and decisively shot after the three-point shot.

Bryant pounced, but was still half a beat slower.

The basketball crossed a wonderful arc in the air, turning into a long dragon and running straight into the net again.

"Huh!"

The fourth.

After landing on the ground, Lin Fei smiled and spread his hands to the angry Kobe, and the two of them were obviously familiar opponents:

"Corvo, it seems that you have made a lot of progress this offseason, and of course I can't be left behind!"

"There's no Dwayne and Shaquille tonight, so let's have a showdown!"

"How about a dinner for someone who loses?"

Kobe even snorted a little arrogantly, clenched his fists and said, "Of course it's no problem, Lin, I've been looking forward to your treat for a long time!" ”

Heat (15) :(10) Lakers.

Looking back, Kobe Bryant continued to single Lin Fei, still familiar with the step-back jumper, but this time Kobe Bryant's completion was obviously higher.

He would never allow himself to fall twice in the same pit.

No matter how good Lin Fei's defense is, it is impossible to block Kobe's step-back jumper twice in a row, so he can only interfere as much as possible, praying that he misses the shot.

"Bang dang!"

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant's backward jumper was a little worse than the crosshairs, and his strength was slightly greater, and the basketball bounced off the back edge of the basket.

"Smack!"

However, the rebound was grabbed by Chris Meem, and after landing, he opened roughly and jumped directly to complete the dunk.

"Boom!"

The Heat's rebounding disadvantage is gradually becoming apparent.

Conversion of possession.

Lin Fei, who scored four three-pointers in a row, was naturally once again defended by the Lakers.

Jason Williams tried to break through and hit one, and the layup was deflected wide by interference.

"Smack!"

This time the rebound was still protected by the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant counterattacked the frontcourt to Odom for a quick shot, and the latter sent another flying dunk after entering the restricted area.

"Boom!"

The Lakers chased 4 points in a row, and the difference came to only 1 point.

After playing half a quarter in the opening quarter, the game was quite exciting, and Lin Fei and Kobe Bryant both fulfilled their responsibilities as leaders of their respective teams.

Stan Van Gundy called a long timeout and it looked like the team's rebounding issue had to be taken seriously.

At the same time, the state of other players is average, and Lin Fei's personal attack ratio should also be appropriately increased.

Without Wade and O'Neal, if the Heat want to win, they can only rely on Lin Fei's supergod performance.

Turning to Alonzo Mourning, who was sitting on the bench, Stan Van Gundy spoke:

"Alonzo, it's your turn, I'm sure no one knows the pitch better than you!"

The first half of the game obviously belonged to the contest between Lin Fei and Kobe, and the fans at the scene were also looking forward to the escalation of this contest.

"Kobe Bryant has 8 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, Lin has 12 points and 1 block, the two of them are on par with each other in the opening game, and they each have their own advantages!"

"As long as Lin's three points are accurate, Kobe Bryant can't parry no matter how strong he is!"

"Dwayne and Shaquille aren't here tonight, Van Gundy should give me Lin unlimited firing rights, right? Let go of his 20 three-pointers, and he can only hit at least 15, right? That's 45 points! ”

"I have a hunch that Lin's record of 14 three-pointers in a single game should hopefully be broken in tonight's opener!"

"Lin's scoring ability has always been suppressed, and tonight's single-core lead the team is definitely his best chance!"

"It's only been the first few minutes of the game, Lin has been seriously trapped, as long as he holds the ball, he will be trapped, facing this level of defense, it is not easy to get a high score!"

"In short, Kobe Bryant and Lin are very likely to score high scores tonight, and between the two, at least one person should be able to get 50+, right?"

"On the NBA's season opener all-time scoring list, the first place seems to be Zhang Bolun's 56 points, and the second place is Michael Jordan's 54 points!"

"It's not too high, Lin and Kobe, it looks like there is a chance to break this record tonight and set a new season opener scoring record!"

After the pause, Lin Fei crossed with Battier on the outside, received the ball near the bottom corner of the right side, and faced the bag of Kobe and Cook, he had no choice but to shoot decisively.

"Bang dang!"

The ball was still too impatient and didn't have enough time to make adjustments.

Although the iron missed, the inexperienced teenager Brian Cook pounced too quickly and hit Lin Fei directly, and the referee whistle blew, which was a three-point shooting foul.

Kobe frowned, hugged his little brother's neck, and bitterly told the defense points.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Lin Fei's free throws were always steady, and he made three free throws when he walked to the free throw line.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant held the ball at the top of the arc, and summoned a pick-and-roll cover from Chris Meme.

Misplaced against the 36-year-old veteran Alonzo Mourning, taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's slow pace of changing guards, he jumped decisively on the left side.

"Huh!"

It was Bryant's first three-pointer of the night.

After the goal, Kobe Bryant also tilted his chin slightly, looking at old Moning with a proud face:

"Alonzo, every player's peak will come to an end, I have a lot of sympathy for that, but the league is always young!"

Mo Ning snorted coldly and flashed his fist at Kobe: "Kobe, even if I am 40 years old, I can still invite you to eat hot pot on the court!" ”

The entire first half almost became a battle between Lin Fei and Kobe.

Since Kobe Bryant was quite hot tonight, Van Gundy's side also appropriately increased the tactics of assisting defense and packing.

Once Lin Fei and Kobe Bryant are tightly limited, the Heat and other role players of the Lakers will also be able to play out in the right circumstances.

The first half was played.

Heat (53) :(52) Lakers.

The difference in points was only 1 point, and the scores of the two teams alternated many times, and they went around and around and almost returned to the same running line.

Lin Fei shot 7-of-10 from three-point range in the first half, plus 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring 26 points in the half, plus 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Bryant also shot 9-of-14 from the field in the half, 1-of-2 from three-point range, plus 22 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block from the free throw line.

Judging from the duel in the first half, Lin Fei and Kobe Bryant were on par, and it could basically be said that it was a tie.

The number of fans waiting in front of the TV on this side of the Celestial Empire has also broken through to more than 20 million.

"In tonight's opener, Fei Ge must get a high score and get a good start to the new season!"

"Wade has a knee injury, O'Neal is not self-disciplined enough to get fatter and fatter, it seems that this season, our Flying Brother is going to officially become the new boss of the Heat!"

"Wade and O'Neal had better rest for a while before coming back to see where the ceiling of our Feige team is!"

"I didn't win either the regular season MVP and the finals MVP last season, and this season our Phineas are going to win double MVPs!"

"Kobe Bryant, is this also evolving? It feels like he's so much better than last season! ”
