After the preseason, each team takes four to five days of rest before the regular season officially begins.

For the Lakers, after a period of running-in in the preseason, the main lineup is basically determined. Due to Divac's injuries, he is temporarily unable to play. In the preseason game, Anderson completely suppressed Mihm, so the Birdman was

Tomjanovich was promoted to the team's main lineup and served as the team's main center.

The power forward position is still blue-collar player Grant. Although his preseason performance was not good, averaging only 3 points and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes of playing time per game, he is a veteran with a salary of 14 million after all.

He has expectations, and Tomjanovich still hopes that after the regular season begins, he can improve his concentration in the game and perform well.

Odom continues to appear at the small forward position, which he can also take care of. Kobe and Atkins partner on the back line. This is an operation where there is no second choice. After all, the gap between their respective substitute strengths is relatively large.

Due to salary issues, the Lakers don't have many people available on the bench. These days, the mainstream trend in the league is still to dominate the world with one lineup, and the Spurs have a relatively solid bench.

In the offseason, Matt Grady was acquired through a big trade, and the Mosaic team, which formed the Yao-Mai combination, challenged the defending champion Detroit Pistons away in the opening game. For the Mosaic team, which is still in the running-in period, the opening game will face the Pistons.

This is not a good result for the team, but from a business perspective, this is a game that the entire United States will focus on. In terms of the entire regular season, it may be second only to the Christmas game.

Mike James, Tracy McGrady, Jim Jackson, Juwan Howard, Yao Ming, the Mosaic team's lineup combination is very extreme. Mike James is a veteran bum in the league, changing teams on average every year. Jim Jackson was once one of the three J's in Dallas, and he has a certain

His independent offensive ability seems to be the third point that the Mosaic team has high hopes for in addition to the Yao-Mai combination. Uncle Huo may have good mid-range shooting skills on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, it is not bad even if it is not a decoration.

Too many.

However, what most fans did not expect was that the newly formed Mosaic team faced the defending champion away from home, and was not suppressed by the Pistons as many people expected. On the contrary, for a considerable part of the game,

The Mosaic team turned against the visitors and took the initiative in the game.

In the 2003 season, McGrady once led the Magic to a 3:1 lead over the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs. That is, after the G4 game, McGrady said the famous saying: "I have already considered my opponents in the next round.

"(It feels good to get in the second round (It feels good to get in the second round). After that, the Pistons were excited and the three armies worked hard. They won three consecutive games and reversed the series. McGrady also paid for his youth and frivolity.

Cost. In this game, facing this opponent who brought painful memories to him, McGrady performed well on the offensive end, hitting consecutive mid-range pull-ups, while Yao Ming also faced Ben Wallace's defense in the paint, turning "Big Ben"

"Clock" became a "little alarm clock", and the two stars worked together to lead the Mosaic team to take the initiative in the game.

Only after the game entered the fourth quarter, the situation suddenly changed. First, Billups and Hamilton succeeded in consecutive attacks to help the Pistons narrow the point difference. Then, Yao Ming, whose physical strength declined seriously during the wrestling with the Wallace brothers, made three consecutive attacks, twice. After a mistake and a strike, the Pistons seized the opportunity to counterattack one after another and overtake the score. At the last moment of the game, Prince and Ben Wallace teamed up to block McGrady's jumper, helping the Pistons defend the score at 88:83. Wei played at home and did not let the Mosaic team disrupt his award ceremony.

In the whole game, Tracy McGrady scored 28 points, and Yao Ming also scored 22 points. The Yao-Maggie combination scored 60% of the team's points, but they still couldn't help the team win, which is enough to illustrate the quality of this team's role players. There really is a problem. Of course, this still doesn't stop China's Huo Mi from being crazy about Tracy McGrady's performance. There is no doubt that Tracy McGrady is a superstar of a higher caliber than Big Biff! As for the combination of role players, that's not Something that fans should consider. The combination of super shooting guard and super center is too easy to think of the OK combination that once completed three consecutive championships.

On the evening of the 31st, the Staples Center ushered in the first game of the new season for the Lakers. The opponent was the Denver Nuggets led by Melo Anthony. The entire arena was filled with people, shouts and cheers, and the fans wore golden uniforms. The Lakers jerseys formed a golden ocean standing in the audience.

Another advantage of being in Los Angeles is that it is backed by Hollywood. There are many big-name artists such as Nicholson, DiCaprio, and Jessica Alba, all of whom are die-hard Lakers fans. The team does not even need to set up a mascot to warm up the fans. During the show, give the camera to various stars, and the atmosphere will be very lively. Hollywood stars are much more effective than mascots. Today, the biggest star appearing in the front row of Staples Center is America’s Sweetheart Hilary Duff, a youth idol as delicate as a doll.

The Nuggets selected popular rising star Carmelo Anthony in the 2003 draft, and made the playoffs in Anthony's first season. The team reversed its past decline and also made aggressive signings during the offseason. "The Beast" "The addition of Kenyon Martin and the best defensive player Marcus Camby has helped the Nuggets greatly strengthen the team's defense, and the team is also working hard to do big things in the new season!

Ke Yan was sitting on the sidelines in casual clothes. Since he was young and of Chinese descent, the broadcaster's cameraman found it interesting and specially gave him a close-up shot.

Because the game with the Mosaic team was staggered, CCTV also broadcast the game, and the commentator Da Xu also made a special trip to introduce it to the fans: "Ke Yan, was Tomjanovich's assistant coach in the Mosaic team last season. The Suns have invited Tomjanovich back this season. He is still very young and will definitely become the head coach in the future."

Compared with some professionals who have a deeper understanding of Ke Yan, the information updates of these commentators on CCTV are indeed somewhat insufficient. In other words, they do not pay much attention to Ke Yan. Everyone is more focused on what Yao Ming can do and when Yi Jianlian can land in the NBA. .

White fireworks shot out from around the stadium, and the atmosphere of the fans was completely aroused.

The DJ sounded, and the on-site commentator read the names of Lakers players continuously.

Brian Cook, Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic......Brian Grant, Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant~~~~~~!

When the name of Kobe Bryant was mentioned, the cheers of the fans at the scene were the strongest. Kobe's performance in the preseason was very good, which also made the fans in Los Angeles choose to use greater support to support Kobe, whose image was damaged.<

/p>

Nuggets lineup: Andre Miller, Voshan Leonard, Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Camby, the lineup is quite good.

On the Lakers side, Birdman Anderson happened to play for the Nuggets last season, but he never got a chance. In this game, he "returned to his homeland" and played as the main center of the Lakers. He can be said to be fighting spirit and iron.

Xin Xin showed off in front of his old club. The moment the referee threw the basketball, he quickly jumped into the air, defeated Camby, and won the ball for the Lakers in the first round!
