Kobe Bryant just made a high-profile announcement in May that he was leaving the Lakers. This made Lian Feng believe that there is no eternal loyalty in the business league. Stars often want glory, victory, and big contracts.

It won't be long before Bynum performs at an All-Star level this season. But Lian Feng is very curious. Without Gasol's draft rights, what chips are the Lakers planning to add in exchange for Pau Gasol? But then

It won't happen until January next year.

But I guess the Lakers and Grizzlies don't care about Gasol's signing rights as a second-round pick.

At this time, the Lakers' main players were Kobe, Odom and Bynum, who was about to evolve into a baby shark.

Kobe was still acting like a child before the game, publicly scolding general manager Kupchak and boss Buss as idiots, naming the immature Andrew Bynum as a replacement for a big shot. Seeing that the decision-makers were indifferent, he threatened to

Run away.

But after the season started, Lian Feng knew that Kobe was still the same Kobe, the guy who was paranoid to the extreme.

Familiar Los Angeles.

Before the game, Jackson calmly analyzed the Hornets' possible tactical combinations, and then let Kobe decide what to do.

Zen Master said: "There is no doubt that the core of the Hornets is No. 99, Lian Feng. Let's think carefully about how to deal with him."

Kobe smiled slightly: "There's nothing to worry about. Their offensive firepower is the shooting guard, and coincidentally, so am I. The old rule is, I'll guard him alone, he can't make a big splash."

Zen Master said seriously: "Don't be careless. He just strengthened his back attack skills last season, and now he is the same offensive kaleidoscope as you."

Kobe said: "I know, I know. That guy looks like me."

Before the game started, Kobe greeted Lian Feng.

"Are you ready?"

Lian Feng was startled: "What preparations?"

Kobe said seriously: "Prepare for one-on-one. I hope you don't look for someone else to defend me like a coward. But don't worry, no matter who you defend against, you will face me when you attack."

Lian Feng laughed: "As you wish."

Although Lian Feng does not have many defensive skills, he is not too bad defensively with his size advantage and shot-blocking skills.

It can only be said that he is not top-notch, but his innate conditions allow Lian Feng to have a very high defensive limit!

Kobe admired in his heart. From this point of view, he liked Lian Feng very much. In terms of not admitting defeat and fighting hard on the court, Lian Feng had the same temperament as himself and Jordan.

Kobe can understand Jordan's mentality when he looked at him.

The game officially begins!

The starting center was still Tyson Chandler, and his absolute height allowed the Hornets to score the first goal once again.

Tyson Chandler rarely made mistakes on jump balls last season. Those who are taller than him have a bounce speed that is not as fast as him, and those who have a bounce speed that is faster than him have a much higher reach than him.

The ball was put in Paul's hands.

Lian Feng took a good position in the high post, and all his teammates were concentrated in the high post. This forced the Lakers' defense to step up, so there was no one on the bottom line.

Lian Feng and Kobe Bryant were fighting for a position, neither side was giving way to the other, and there was constant physical contact.

Kobe and Lian Feng were entangled.

Paul suddenly accelerated over there, shook his opponent away, and then handed the ball to David West, who was lifting up.

In the new tactical system, David West has a very important tactical position. He is the offensive axis of this lineup.

Of course, this does not weaken Paul's tactical position.

In fact, the role of the point guard in this tactical system still requires a lot of holding the ball, but David West is the starting pointer.

Subsequently, Paul crossed into a good position and David West quickly passed the ball.

Paul got to the basket and scored two points.

In this tactic, Paul's consciousness allows him to better cut in along the baseline, commonly known as "slipping through the back door." After successfully slipping through the back door, Paul does not have to attack by himself. His excellent vision will allow him to keep an eye on his teammates on the court at all times.

position, and then sent a wonderful pass.

Lian Feng and Kobe are entangled with each other.

At this time, unlike previous seasons, Kobe had begun to reduce the frequency of his shots, choosing to pass more passes in the first half to connect his teammates.

However, Kobe's combination was indeed not that subtle, and the Lakers had a poor start, and they all hit the ground running.

On the other hand, the Hornets launched a 10-0 offensive shock wave from the beginning.

All three goals are related to Paul.

Paul's offensive routine and his role as the core ball-handler have been slightly adjusted, but the core style of play has not changed.

In the past, Paul would bring the ball to the frontcourt, then call tactics, direct the positioning, call a pick-and-roll or break through by himself, and then distribute the ball while swimming.

But now, Paul is dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, calling tactics, directing the positioning, and the inside players lift up to clear the enemies near the bottom line rebound. Then he hands the ball to the inside offensive axis, and moves to the back door himself. In the process

, as long as there is a chance, David West can always pass the ball back in time.

After being cleared inside, it's up to Paul whether he attacks on his own or sends an alley-oop while moving.

As long as there is an inside player with excellent passing ability, Paul can play even easier than when he was the core ball-handling player before.

Of course, the Lakers are adjusting themselves. When the Hornets shot the last 5 balls, they chose not to raise the ball and shrink the inside to prevent the back door.

Then David West, who was left unattended, just voted.

Then entered.

Adelman nodded repeatedly as he watched from the audience.

This is his ideal lineup configuration.

With a power forward like David West, there is no way for opponents not to focus on defense.

Of course Lian Feng also noticed it, and only then did he understand why Teacher Yue, who was not very athletic, could compete for MVP.

At this time, David West's style of play was very similar to that of future teacher Yue.

Tyson Chandler's passing ability is worse, but he can also step up and provide pick-and-roll screens for teammates without the ball. He is very motivated to screen. Anyway, his skills determine that he cannot attack independently, so he does it wholeheartedly.

A blue-collar player can even be said to be addicted to it.

Lian Feng has yet to complete a shot, but this does not affect his good mood.

As long as we can win, doesn't it matter who scores?

The more teammates score, the more it shows the depth of the team's lineup.

In the next round, Kobe finally couldn't stand it anymore. He asked for the ball near the baseline within one step of the three-pointer, then connected with a probing step to make the forward's center of gravity swing, and then he pulled it up and shot.

Lian Feng saw the hit rate of this ball in his mind, which was 88%, but he still looked back and the basketball hit the net.

Kobe said, "This is for you."

Lian Feng smiled slightly: "I will pay you back!"

Kobe said unbelievingly: "Let's try it!"

When the Hornets attack, David West still takes the shot.

Lian Feng suddenly reversed and accelerated to get the ball, and David West passed the ball over.

Kobe was chasing after him.

Lien Feng did not cut to the basket, but moved to the center because he saw a Bynum mistake.

In other words, it's a strategy.

After Tyson Chandler reached the mid-range, Bynum did not catch up and was still lingering in the penalty area. This may be their way to ensure that they will not be slipped through the back door.

Facing David West, Kwame Brown must keep up, because if he doesn't follow David West, he will shoot directly.

So the Lakers think Tyson Chandler doesn’t have a mid-range shot, so they don’t need to follow him?

The forward bypassed Tyson Chandler, who blocked Kobe's pursuit with a solid pick-and-roll.

Lian Feng was unguarded in the mid-range and made a pull-up jumper.

The ball goes in.

Kobe immediately gave Bynum an angry look.

Lian Feng shrugged and said with a relaxed expression: "Look, I said I would pay it back!"
