Howard got the ball in the scrimmage and the game officially started!

The Lakers took the first step of the new season, Kobe took the ball first, he dribbled the ball halfway, and handed the ball to Nash.

Steve Nash, one of the best point guards in the league in the past 10 years.

He is the biggest guard Kobe has ever played with.

In the more than ten years since Kobe came to the Lakers, he almost supported the offensive and defensive lines of the Lakers' backcourt by himself.

The best player to play with him is Derek Fisher.

Everyone, including Kobe, is thinking that the arrival of Nash can lighten his burden.

However, Nash is 38 years old.

On the first attack, the Lakers stood 1-4 on the court, with the two bottom corners empty, Princeton's formation.

No one stepped forward to pick and roll Nash, and Nash chose to play the ball to the right wing Gasol.

After two or three passes, the Lakers did not find an open space.

In the end, Kobe, who got the ball, feinted a shot on the left wing, took a step forward and shot a jumper!

Bang!

The first piece of iron in the 12-13 season was born!

Li Liang sat on the sidelines and thought, if he had a camera, he should take this photo.

Named "The first piece of iron in the 12-13 season, it came earlier than expected."

The Lone Ranger's counterattack after getting the rebound, without Nowitzki, the Lone Ranger will have to rely more on their quick counterattack.

The old captain Brand quickly turned around and missed a jumper at the basket after receiving the ball with his back.

Brand's explosive power was no longer as good as before, and he made a hasty shot after turning around.

The Lakers fought back.

Nash took the ball and wanted to push back, but no one rushed to the frontcourt.

This is not the sun, and Marion is already in the opponent's lineup.

Falling into position, Nash handed the ball to Bryant.

Bryant gets the ball on the left side and Howard is in the low post.

Everything seems to go back to 10 years ago, there used to be a super center waiting for Kobe to feed the ball in this position.

Bryant passed the ball to Howard, and Howard used his strong frame to squeeze past the defender and go straight to the basket, then dunked hard!

As a result, the ball was dunked and bounced straight out.

There was a moan of regret.

It can be seen from this ball that Howard, who has been affected by a back injury, is not as explosive as before.

However, Ci Shiping on the outside picked up the ball and passed the ball to the outside. Nash happened to be waiting at the three-point line.

There was no one three meters in front of him, so Nash shot a three-pointer directly!

Hit!

Steve Nash scored the Lakers' first point of the new season, a three-pointer!

This goal surprised the Lakers audience at the scene.

Cheers to the legendary point guard.

But the Lone Ranger's counterattack came quickly.

Collins made a pick-and-roll with Brand on the outside, and after breaking into the inside, he passed the ball to Brand who went down.

Brand attracted the defense of two people, but no one noticed that Collins had gone around the left corner.

Brand passed the ball to Collins, Collins caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line and made a hit!

A very simple pick-and-roll cooperation tore apart the Lakers' defense.

Gasol's defense against the pick-and-roll is really powerless.

Gasol and Howard played twin towers on the court, and both were too tall.

Pick-and-roll delays, pick-and-roll follow-up defenses are not their strong points.

So in the next few rounds, such a scene appeared.

The Lakers passed the ball back and forth, and it took a lot of work to get the ball into the basket.

And the Lone Walker turned around, and a pick-and-roll could give him a chance.

Without Nowitzki, the Mavericks are all soldiers, and everyone will attack by themselves when they have the opportunity.

As for the Lakers, Howard had two singles in the opening game, a dunk and a hook.

Then they played Princeton's high-post support tactics a few times.

Howard gets the ball to Kobe at the corner.

But the effect is mediocre. Except for Kobe who seized the opportunity to cut inside for a layup, he didn't have a good chance to run the other few times.

The Mavericks' defensive strength is not great, and they have never been a team that relies on strength.

But their defensive formation is very solid, the players will basically not lose their positions, and they will not make too many low-level mistakes.

This made the Lakers players who were not very proficient in running back and passing and cutting stagnant on the offensive end.

Three of the Lakers' starting five are offensive masters, and both have averaged 20 points per game in the season.

When they feel that the offense is not right, they quickly make adjustments.

Kobe began to increase his personal offense, while Howard went less to the high post and more to the low post.

In this way, Gasol has to go to the high post, to shoot some mid-range shots that he is not good at, and to break through the dribble.

Li Liang looked at it and thought, oh my god, is Gasol going to dribble inside?

Fuck, he also passed the ball to Howard and dunked it!

Howard received an inside pass from Gasol and made a strong dunk!

World of Warcraft finally over a dunk addiction.

On the Lakers bench, Thackeray excitedly jumped up and waved the towel wildly.

Although Thackeray's strength is not strong, he is really good at waving the towel.

Of course Li Liang was unwilling to let others down, picked up the towel and waved it into an electric fan!

Either way, he's a Laker.

You can't help but score Sima Mian, and you can also score Sima Mian.

Besides, waving the towel to his teammates is Li Liang's old profession, and it is simply a professional habit for him.

After the ball, the Lone Ranger called a timeout.

The Lakers led their opponents by 4 points at 15:11, and everything looked good.

When the Lakers players left the court, they looked a little tired.

Their starting lineup is really old and needs getting used to at the start of the season.

During the timeout, Brown has nothing to arrange, anyway, it is to let the veterans rest.

As for Li Liang, Brown is not yet ready to let him appear.

If the game can go on like this for the opening 6 minutes, then the Lakers should be able to win the game.

But after the timeout ended, the Lone Ranger made adjustments, and the Lakers soon encountered problems.

The problem doesn't come from offense, it comes from defense.

The Lakers' offense is not a big problem, after all, their personal ability lies there.

As long as Kobe has the ball, he is a threat, and the Lone Ranger's defense must focus, and there must be loopholes.

But when it comes to the defensive end, the Lakers have a problem. What about the pick-and-roll? How to prevent air cut?

Carlisle saw the shortcomings of the Lakers' defensive end in half a quarter. After the timeout, he asked the team to increase the attack to the basket and air cuts after the pick-and-roll.

The Lakers have Howard inside, but under the three-second limit of defense, if there is no delay from outside players, Howard is just a target for outside players to attack.

The Lakers were scoring, Gasol made a mid-range shot, and Gasol scored again for a dunk to Howard. Nash made a mid-range shot, and Kobe broke through with his left hand and cut in for a layup.

But the Lone Ranger is also scoring. Brand is mid-range, Marion cuts in for a layup, Wright cuts in for a layup after a pick-and-roll, and Collins makes a three-pointer.

The Lone Ranger always bit the score and slowly approached.

Brown stood on the sidelines and watched the Lakers' fragile defense. No matter how much he shouted, it was useless to break his throat.

How can four players with an average age of 35 and Howard, who is not recovering from injuries, kill a well-coached offensive team?

At the end of the first quarter, Brown made a substitution.

He still did not replace Li Liang, but used Jamison and Jordan Hill.

Such substitutions played a role, Jordan - Hill is more dynamic than Gasol.

The Lone Ranger also entered the rotation, and the Lakers got a chance to counterattack quickly.

Jamison made a beautiful pass to Hill in the counterattack, and Hill made a strong dunk!

Another slam dunk! Cheers erupted at the Staples Center.

But look at the score, it's four points ahead.

The Lakers only hit one three-pointer in the first quarter.

Metta Shiping missed all two three-point attempts, Nash made one of two shots, and Kobe missed none.

Last season, league teams averaged 18 three-pointers per game, with an average of 7 hits per game.

Pushing forward another 10 years, the numbers are 14 and 5.

The number of three-point shots is increasing year by year, and the acceleration is getting faster and faster.

In the first three years, one will be raised, then one will be raised in two years, one will be raised in one year, and two or three may be raised in the next year.

There are many fans who hate more and more three-pointers, but there are still more and more three-pointers. There is no other reason, and three-pointers are very useful.

Three-pointers are not only one point more than two-pointers, but also because they open up more space for the team and have more room for tactical operations.

For a team like the Lakers that wants to play Princeton tactics, the starting lineup does not have a reliable, real three-pointer.

In the first half of the second quarter, they still needed Gasol to pull out to shoot a three-pointer, and of course Gasol made the shot.

But this is not the normal state of Gasol, so he can't play his best power.

By the middle of the second quarter, the Lone Ranger had overtaken the score.

At 37:35, the Lone Ranger used a three-pointer to overtake the score.

Except for a few beautiful cooperations at the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' offense stalled.

Mike Brown had to call a timeout again.

Li Liang sat on the bench and watched anxiously. He had already prepared the hair dryer.

Nima, Brown, if you don't send me to play again, I will blow your hair out of your bald head.

Brown was very tangled and painful at this time. He found that the Lakers could beat Princeton on the court.

After all, the Lakers' starters are all good players, and they can play whatever you ask them to play.

The 35 points scored by the team can be said to have been won through reverse runs, hand-to-hand passes, and air-cut moves.

Kobe has almost no forced singles, not a single forced shot from outside the three-point line.

He played very reasonably, Gasol has done his best to make the ball, sent several good assists.

Howard dunked three baskets in the interior.

However, they are still behind.

Why?

One is that the defense cannot be defended, and the other is that the offensive efficiency is too low.

Princeton can play a beautiful open match, but it can only be completed once in three or four rounds.

In comparison, the Lone Ranger's play is simpler, that is, the pick-and-roll, single play if he can, and the score is still high.

If you go on like this, the likely result is:

The Lakers had more assists than the Lone Ranger, but ended up scoring less than the Lone Ranger.

During the timeout, Brown glanced at the auditorium while emphasizing defense.

Jim Bass was sitting in there, and Brown thought, Jim, you see, this is what happens with Princeton.

The preseason has proved it to you, now it's the regular season, do you want to continue?

At this moment, Brown suddenly felt a gloomy gaze coming from behind his head.

Brown shuddered, and with a glance, he saw Li Liang's "death stare".

Brown knew that if Li Liang was not replaced, this kid would definitely start beeping.

I don't know why, but Brown felt that he was very afraid of this Chinese kid talking.

It doesn't make sense, I'm the head coach, he's just a second-round pick.

He didn't know that this was the function of [Bob Knight's hair dryer].

"Bruce, get ready to play, replace Jamison." Brown ordered.

I can't bear this kind of gaze and hair dryer, so go out and deal with your opponent.

Li Liang immediately took off his sportswear, warmed up a little and got ready to go on stage!
