Chapter 665: Taking the initiative at the beginning

This is the sixth time the two sides have met, and they are very familiar with each other. However, compared with the previous five games, the Lakers' starting lineup has changed slightly. Because Andrew Bynum was suspended, Phil Jackson had to replace Paul.

-Gasolti's center position, Lamar Odom entered the starting lineup as power forward, small forward, shooting guard, and point guard. Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant are still in the three positions.

Special, Derek Fisher.

The starting lineup of the Warriors has not changed, with center Tyson Chandler, power forward Antoine Jamison, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Tyreke Evans, and point guard Kirk Hinrich.

.

Chandler gave the Warriors the first offensive right. Hinrich dribbled the ball to half court. Chandler, who had just run outside the three-point line, moved to Hinrich's side for a pick-and-roll. Hinrich immediately dribbled the ball.

Driving to the basket.

Fisher was a little slower. When he rushed past Chandler, Hinrich had already started to rush forward. Thinking that Chandler was far away from the basket and there was really no threat, Fisher followed Hinrich.

When going to the basket, Gasol also quickly retreated inside.

His footsteps kept moving towards the basket. Gasol's eyes were fixed on Hinrich. At this time, he suddenly saw Hinrich's right hand swinging to the left when dribbling. By the time he reacted, the ball had already

The floor hit him and bounced to the other side.

"Not good!" Realizing Hinrich's pass, Gasol quickly turned around and faced the basket. He happened to see a figure running towards the basket after receiving the ball, and rushed towards it.

"Yang took a pass from Kirk and made a layup, easily hitting the ball!" Barkley's shout rang out.

After all, Gasol was a step too late. When he rushed to the basket, Yang Shuai had already taken the ball and took off. He made a layup with his left hand and easily scored the ball.

Fisher dribbled the ball across the half court and handed it to Gasol, who was providing support. Kobe Bryant from outside the three-point line on the right suddenly inserted forward, but his running did not bring him an open space. Evan

Steve was very vigilant, and while Kobe was rushing forward, he stayed close to the left side to prevent Gasol from passing the ball directly to Kobe's hands.

Seeing that the cut-in did not find a suitable opportunity, Kobe suddenly stopped and took a step back. Gasol seized the opportunity and quickly handed the ball to Kobe. Evans also quickly passed the ball to Kobe.

One step closer to the opponent.

Double team! While Kobe was being held tightly by Evans and was unable to make an offensive move, Yang Shuai, who was guarding Artest from outside the three-point line on the right, quickly stepped forward and sandwiched Kobe with Evans.

Kobe's body continued to turn, but he did not find a suitable offensive opportunity, so he had to pass the ball to Artest, who was already running towards the lower right corner.

Kobe passed the ball, and Yang Shuai quickly ran towards the right corner. When he saw Artest receiving the ball, he quickly pounced on it.

Artest took a chance at this time and just made a fake shot. When he saw Yang Shuai rushing towards him, he quickly took back the ball he held high, then slammed it on the ground, took a step forward and took off to shoot.

.

"Wow!" At this moment, Artest heard an uproar at the scene. Before he could realize what was going on, he suddenly found that the basketball he was holding above his head was being pulled backwards by a force, and there was a force in his hand.

Lightly, the ball has fallen backward.

"Yang blocked the shot! After Yang was shaken away, he blocked the opponent's shot from behind Ron! Good job! Hey, maybe Ron thought it was safe if Yang was shaken away."

Amid the exclamations and cheers at the scene, Yang Shuai quickly bent down to pick up the basketball that fell on the floor, and then dribbled quickly towards the half court.

Artest couldn't keep up with Yang Shuai at this time. Evans rushed to the basket so that Kobe didn't dare to step forward. Seeing that Yang Shuai was about to rush to the three-point line, Gasol was busy.

Stop him.

There was a sudden pause outside the three-point line, and then he accelerated forward. During the sudden stop and start, Yang Shuai had already found a breakthrough space from Gasol's side and rushed straight towards the basket.

Gasol hurriedly followed and rushed to the basket. At this time, Odom, who was retreating from the left to the basket, also quickly caught up to help defend. He saw that if he took one step forward, he would plunge into the Lakers' basket.

During the double-team, Yang Shuai's left hand when dribbling the ball suddenly moved behind him, and the ball also flew out of his control.

Pass from behind! The ball flew out of Yang Shuai's hands and flew straight towards Chandler who was cutting towards the basket at this time.

After receiving the pass while running, Chandler's speed was not affected in any way. He took advantage of the situation and strode forward. Then he held the ball in his hands and jumped into the air, slamming it down toward the basket.

"Bang!" Dunk, the ball goes in!

"Coax!" Chandler's two-handed dunk made the cheers at the scene become louder again. Because of the two consecutive dunks, the atmosphere at the Warriors' home court continued to increase in enthusiasm.

The Lakers' offense was still handed over to Gasol, but this time Gasol landed directly on the baseline and blocked Chandler for the ball. After receiving a pass from Fisher, Gasol suddenly turned around and wanted to

He squeezed to the basket, but Chandler made an accurate judgment and directly blocked Gasol's path.

Finding that he could not squeeze into the basket, Gasol grabbed the ball and hooked it towards the basket. However, under Chandler's close contact, Gasol's hook was affected and the ball bounced on the basket.

It fell back into the basket.

Rushing to the basket and grabbing the ball in his hands, Yang Shuai quickly pushed forward and sent the ball to Evans, who was rushing out of the three-point line.

Evans kept retreating in front of him, and Kobe suddenly stepped forward when he took a step beyond the three-point line. Evans obviously did not expect Kobe to make such an action, and his steps slowed down and he lost his speed.

Evans was not impatient. When he saw that there was no chance for a fast break, he immediately stabilized his rhythm and handed the ball back to Hinrich.

Yang Shuai did not catch the ball outside the three-point line and blocked Artest in the middle distance on the right side. Yang Shuai then waved to Hinrich to pass the ball.

With the ball in hand, Yang Shuai suddenly used his strength to squeeze Artest, who quickly turned to the left and rushed to the basket along the baseline. Gasol was about to catch up with the front double team when he saw the back

He hurriedly turned around and rushed back to the basket to defend.

Artest, Gasol, and Odom are all heading towards the basket at the same time. Yang Shuai is lethal anywhere on the court, and he is undoubtedly more lethal close to the basket.

Stepping on the three-second zone line on the right side and flying up, Yang Shuai took off while surrounded by Artest, Gasol and Odom, and his figure was quickly submerged in the wall of people.

People were surrounded by people looking for Yang Shuai's figure. At this moment, an orange shadow suddenly flew out of the crowd and flew to the left corner.

"Yang passed the ball out in the crowd, and from the left corner, Antoine Jamison made an open three-pointer... It went in! The ball went in! Yang assisted, and Antoine hit a three-pointer, 7:0!"

"Fake, why doesn't this guy have the guts to attack?" Odom said bitterly. He stepped forward to double-team Yang Shuai. Who would have thought that Yang Shuai would pass the ball to Jamison at this time, letting him

The opposing player hit a three-pointer.

Kobe took the initiative to take the basketball from outside the three-point line. The team's successive offensive failures had already caused the Lakers to fall behind by 7 points in the opening game. It was obvious that the Lakers needed to score at this time.

Gasol picked and rolled, Kobe dribbled the ball quickly to the right, Evans quickly bypassed Gasol and pursued him, but before that, Chandler had already followed Kobe closely.

Taking a sudden step forward to the right, Kobe opened the distance between him and Chandler, jumped up suddenly, and shot with his body leaning back. Evans and Chandler reacted very quickly, and the two figures quickly pounced on them.

front interference.

The basketball thrown by Kobe was spinning, and when it landed on the basket, it was still spinning at a high speed. It was spinning rapidly on the edge of the basket, and the basketball finally couldn't withstand the centrifugal force and fell out of the basket.

The rotation of the basketball consumed a lot of time and gave the players stuck under the basket a chance. Odom pushed away Jamison and put the ball in his arms, but he had to take off to attack.

"Ball?" Odom did jump up, but when his hand jumped up, the ball disappeared from his hand.

"Yang steals..." It was Yang Shuai who did this quarter. Yang Shuai rushed to the basket and didn't have time to jump to grab the rebound. At this time, Odom was grabbing the rebound. The opponent's attention was all on Jamison.

Yang Shuai then struck decisively and cut the ball off in one fell swoop.

The Lakers players retreated very quickly. Evans also failed to rush to the front because he was also close to the basket. The Warriors still failed to find a fast break opportunity.

Dribbling to outside the three-point line, Yang Shuai scanned the positions of his teammates and then handed the ball to Jamison, who was stuck on the right baseline.

He took a step to the right, then suddenly moved sideways to the left, ducking to Artest's side. When Artest noticed that Yang Shuai did not rush to the right and moved to stop him, Yang Shuai had already rushed there.

To his side, speeding up, Yang Shuai ran directly to the basket.

Artest failed to catch up immediately, which allowed Yang Shuai to give full play to his speed. He simply accelerated forward and left Artest directly behind him.

Jamison passed the ball back in time, rushed to the free throw line, and after receiving the ball, he stepped on the floor with his feet. Yang Shuai jumped into the air. Leaving Jamison's side, Odom also quickly pounced on Yang in the air.

handsome.

Grabbing the ball with his left hand and swinging it up, Yang Shuai grabbed the basketball, crossed a semicircle in the air, and smashed it into the basket!

"Pop!" "Beep!" "Bump!" Three consecutive voices sounded, and the Oracle Arena was completely boiling at this moment.

"2+1! 2+1! The windmill dunked and caused Lamar's foul! The Warriors hope to go 10:0!"

"mvp! mvp!" Amid the shouts, Yang Shuai made a steady free throw, and the Warriors started with a 10-0 start.

"Beep!" Phil Jackson called a timeout helplessly. Under the current situation, if the Warriors are allowed to fully build up their momentum at home, the Lakers' game will be extremely difficult.
