In the Lakers' first away game of the new season, their opponent is the perennial Western Conference underdog Golden State Warriors. This past offseason, the Warriors began another round of reconstruction. The team's two biggest players, Dampier and Fan

Axel has been sent away one after another, and the current Warriors do not have a big-name player. The core of the team is dunk king Richardson and second-generation star Dunleavy Jr., both of whom are second-tier figures in the league.

The only thing that deserves the attention of Lakers fans is that the Warriors point guard is Fisher, a veteran who has played for the Lakers for eight years and led Kobe Bryant to three championships.

Although it has not been competitive in the league for a long time, Oakland's football market has always been good. Part of the reason is that the team's style of play advocates offense and is full of passion. The same is true for this game. After the opening, the Warriors passed

The fast-paced attack came against the Lakers, and they literally knocked the Lakers to a pulp in the first half of the first quarter. The Warriors are more afraid of the Spurs, a team like Mosaic that has a slow-paced offense and defense and relies on a battering ram with its core inside.

, when encountering a team like the Lakers that is also biased toward offense, they may be able to gain an advantage by relying on their rich experience in fighting each other.

However, the game came to the second quarter. After a short trial, the Lakers took the lead. Tomjanovich took the initiative to make adjustments, changing the arrangement of fighting with the opponent in the first quarter and improving the defensive ability.

The quality slows down the pace of the game, and positional battles rely more on more cooperation. Of course, it is inevitable to give Kobe a certain right to play singles. Whether it is Tomjanovich or Ke Yan, at this stage, the opponent

Kobe was always following the rules, and at important moments in the game, special arrangements were made to ensure that Kobe could get good numbers without affecting the team's performance and locker room atmosphere.

This adjustment has had obvious effects. Positional warfare is not what the Warriors are good at. They only scored 16 points in a single quarter. In turn, they were scored by the Lakers for 31 points. The lead was not guaranteed and was even completed by the Lakers.

Go-ahead.(49:60)

At the beginning of the third quarter, although the Warriors were trying hard to catch up, the point difference has not been reduced, but has become wider and wider. Tomjanovich himself is quite good at building a defensive system, especially

Against a team like the Warriors, which has no absolute offensive strengths and relies more on a run-and-gun system, the Lakers' relatively average defensive resources can also cover it.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the run-and-gun style, but since Mullin, the Warriors' general manager, has chosen to play gun-and-gun, he shouldn't have spent a lot of money to sign a floor point guard like Fisher who is not fast and can't pass the ball well.

Without a brain to guide you, run-and-gun fighting means random bombing. Unless you can achieve fire coverage, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Kobe dribbled the ball past half court, and Odom put up a screen. After the pick-and-roll, Kobe returned the ball to Odom. Facing Troy Murphy in front of him, Odom did not choose to hit hard, but threw the ball to him.

On the other side of Butler, Dunleavy Jr. was directly knocked away by Butler's body. Butler drove into the basket from the wing and faced Fowler to complete the dunk.

Troy Murphy is a big shooter with average physical talent. Fowler is a typical short and stocky rebounder. He can defend and protect rebounds, but assisting in defense is not his strong point. The Warriors' interior combination is really not good.

It's appropriate. It's said to be rebuilding, but...it seems like the team doesn't have any new players worth training.

The Lakers continued to expand their lead. By the second half of the fourth quarter, the point difference had reached 20.

This point difference allows Tomjanovich to send in the substitute lineup with peace of mind.

94:110, the Lakers defeated the Warriors away from home, giving the new season a good start with two consecutive victories.

Kobe took a break for half of the fourth quarter, played 34 minutes, and scored 28 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. He was still the player with the most points in the game, and he obviously has the idea of ​​​​taking the scoring title this season.

Facing the Warriors, who have a relatively open style of play, Odom played relatively comfortably in this game. He made 6 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. His performance was not bad.

Butler continued to perform steadily in this game, making 7 of 12 shots and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 17 points. However, he made 0 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line in the game, which disappointed Ke Yan, who pays more attention to outside shooting.<

/p>

Among the coaching staff, Ke Yan is more supportive of Butler being brought up. In turn, Butler's performance can also add points to Ke Yan's work in the team. The same situation exists with Anderson, but he was signed by the Birds as the team's minimum salary.

In addition, he grabbed 8 rebounds in these two games and averaged 2 blocks per game. With this wonderful performance, even if Divac returns now, it will not be easy to regain his original main position.

Anderson's signing also increased the Lakers management's recognition of Ke Yan and made him look proud~

Compared with the media in the United States, including the Chinese community, which recognized Ke Yan's role in the Lakers, the media in China were somewhat belated and did not report or promote Ke Yan further. They focused more on "big deals every day."

"Championship every year" to build momentum for Yao Ming, but his attitude towards Ke Yan is rather vague.

To a certain extent, this is also related to the fact that he has no domestic working experience. The basketball coaches in China are either retired athletes, or they are apprenticed to a famous coach. Even if they are not good, they are slowly climbing up the provincial team. Ke Yan

This is the only example of someone who went to Europe to study, further his studies, and went to the United States for an interview to apply for a job. In addition, he is only a teaching assistant now, and no matter how outstanding he is, he will still be just a teaching assistant.

It was under this circumstance that Xu Yi's application for an exclusive interview with Ke Yan at ESPN headquarters was officially approved. ESPN proposed the interview intention to the Lakers, and then the team informed Ke Yan and let him decide whether to accept this time.

Interview.

Of course, the Lakers executives will not refuse ESPN's proposal for an interview. After the Mosaic team selected Yao Ming, their profits in China are enviable. Owner Alexander counts the money until he is soft. It is a lie that the bosses of other teams are not jealous. If Ke Yan

Being able to expand the Lakers' influence in China is an unexpected surprise for the Lakers to hire him as an assistant coach.

Ke Yan received a call from Lisa (Lakers press officer) at home. He was watching the game video of the next game's opponent, the Suns, and was still studying how to deal with this Suns team. When he heard the interview application, his first reaction was surprise.

, I didn’t expect that I would be famous enough to be interviewed in China, but I regained my composure after half a minute.

"I need to think about it before making a decision."

It's not Ke Yan's fault, it's the people in the media industry who are really outrageous. Once, a reporter from a well-known sports media in China published an exclusive interview with Portuguese superstar Luis Figo in "Sports Weekly", including a photo of the two people. As a result,

It was later confirmed that the entire report, except for the group photo, was true, and the entire interview content was made up by myself, which shows how outrageous it is. What’s even more outrageous is that after the incident was exposed, not only did the reporter not receive any

Sanctions, on the contrary, became a big player in the circle.

Something happened to Ke Yan himself. Not long ago, domestic media reports demonized the relationship between him and Yao Ming. What was revealed between the lines was that Yao Ming was very kind to him. Ke Yan didn't say much.

I care, but when I heard this, I was inevitably a little unhappy. No one wants a job they obtained based on their own ability to be seen as a result of connections, right?

After getting the information of reporter Xu Yi who applied for an interview, Ke Yan researched some of her information on ESPN's official website and read the reports she had written. After confirming it again and again, he notified Lisa the next day that he

If you accept this interview, you can arrange a specific interview time.
