Chapter 549 [Opening game against the Suns, the source of confidence! 】

When the league arranges the championship team's opening game, it will look for games with gimmicks, and the Suns are the most suitable.

First of all, the Suns are coached by Mike D'Antoni, who is under Jerry's leadership. Secondly, when the two teams met in the playoffs last season, the Suns beat the Lakers in one game. The most important thing is the style of play of both sides. They will definitely focus on offense and the game will be exciting. .

Whether the Lakers win or the Suns win, fans will be attracted. It's natural for the Lakers to win, and the king is coming again. The Suns win is revenge for last season.

Before the game, D'Antoni had little confidence, mainly due to his disadvantage inside, and arranged for the players to practice three-pointers, believing that shooting three-pointers was the only way to defeat the Lakers. On the defensive end, he didn't have any good ideas and planned to attack his opponent from beginning to end.

Yang Rui has a similar idea. The 12-man roster excludes Barnes and Diop. These two are defensive players and there is no need for them to defend against the Suns.

The newly joined Lou Williams is very happy to be on the roster. He feels that this is a good start, even if he plays for a few minutes in garbage time.

Tickets for the Lakers' new season are selling like hotcakes, and Yang Rui reserved his season tickets in advance.

After Yang Rui left the Raptors, Stana Katic rarely watched basketball games. First, she was too busy, second, she didn't like the noisy environment at home, and third, she often had no one to accompany her. As a result, when Nina arrived in the summer, Stana felt a sense of crisis and asked Yang Rui for tickets. She planned to come to the home stadium to support her in the future as long as she was not filming.

Not to be outdone, Nina and Scarlett said that if they want to watch the game at home, it doesn't matter if they sit in the back. They mainly want to support Yang Rui and the Lakers.

Go get your seat back! If these two people sit together to watch a game and sideline Stana, what's the big deal?

Stana realized that she had lured the wolf into the house. Scarlett knew that she and Yang Rui had been together the longest and could not be driven away directly, so she joined forces with Nina. It would be very uninteresting if Yang Rui did not give them votes.

Yang Rui is a little confused. Fortunately, the eldest sister was there, and Jennifer Aniston got involved. She also asked Yang Rui for tickets, saying that she was divorced and wanted to watch the Lakers game to numb herself and get out of the shadows.

There is no shadow about her now. She is obviously coming to the rescue and watching the excitement. Anyway, she has nothing to do recently, and the matter with Thomas cannot be brought to light. Watching the game with three women is a good entertainment.

There are not many people in Echo Company right now. As a female member of the Yang family who has been in the entertainment industry together, she should move around more.

Yang Rui discussed with the management and booked four consecutive seats. In the next few seasons, as long as he is still with the Lakers, the seats will be theirs. If anyone is not free to come, he can let his friends watch the game.

When they came on stage, the four of them greeted Yang Rui. They were like fish and wild goose, each with his or her own merits.

Scarlett sat considerately on the edge, close to the aisle selling beer, hot dogs and other snacks. If she squeezed in the middle and was caught by the cameraman, she might be on the TNT Five.

Jennifer sat between Nina and Stana. On the surface, the two were as close as one family. In fact, Stana regarded Nina as her mistress, and Nina regarded Stana as her aunt. They often became angry when they looked at each other, and special effects appeared between the two. of current.

Players from both sides appeared.

Nash looked at Kobe with mixed eyes, a bit hostile, a bit respectful, and mixed with a hint of envy. He sometimes thinks that playing under Yang Rui's coaching will definitely make the offense smoother and the game more enjoyable!

Nash envied Kobe's good luck and believed that if the teams were swapped, he could lead the Lakers to win the championship.

This is indeed the case. The Lakers' lineup is too strong, and running and bombing will be very scary. Guards with average organizational skills can counterattack. If Nash is here and passes the ball accurately, he will probably go crazy.

CCTV5 live broadcast, Yu Jia introduced: "Hello, viewers, welcome to the NBA opening game of the new season, the Lakers vs. Suns game. In the past, the opening games of Yang Rui's team were very exciting. The two offensive teams will definitely play high. point."

Zhang Li said with a smile: "This year Yang Rui said he would lead the team to hit the regular season record. He will definitely play every game seriously. The Raptors' 74 wins were already called a miracle. If he can really do it,

Then Yao Ming will also be recorded in history together with his teammates, let us wait and see. "

Both sides started the game. Lakers five: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, Yao Ming.

Suns Five: Nash, Raja Bell, James Jones, Marion, O'Neal Jr.

James has been heavily used since he arrived, because he can shoot three-pointers, is 203cm tall, weighs 100kg, has a good physique, and will not be asked for anything by the opponent on the defensive end. As a small forward, his weakness is that he is not good at attacking with the ball, which is just right for the Suns.

In order to strengthen the offense in the second quarter, D'Antoni asked Hill to substitute, and the Lakers were led by Odom. With two substitutes with an annual salary of tens of millions, the lineup was really luxurious.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.

The Lakers' zone defense position, Nash and O'Neal Jr. played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Rasheed to switch defense and pass the ball to the right corner. A simple transfer caused a mismatch, and Bell faced Yao Ming.

If it were the playoffs, Yao Ming would definitely defend him. Now he was preparing to grab a rebound near the penalty area. Bell caught the ball and shot a three-point jumper, and the ball went hollow into the net. 0 to 3.

Yao Ming felt a little embarrassed to be so defensive about himself, but Yang Rui arranged it like this. When chatting online, he often instilled in him the idea of ​​​​brushing data. If you want to become a superstar, the most important thing is not selflessness, but data. If you don’t have the ability to scan the data, you might as well just be a blue-collar worker.

O'Neal is good at paddling on the defensive end during the regular season. He rarely goes out to defend pick-and-rolls and focuses on attacking on the offensive end. Therefore, when O'Neal was with the Lakers, he only achieved the best record in the league once, and the record was not very good. But once they enter the playoffs, the Lakers often perform amazingly, and they seem to be a different team compared to the regular season.

Yang Rui will let Yao Ming take this path now, without having to use his full strength in the regular season.

The Lakers attacked, Yao Ming set a pick-and-roll for Kobe, and the Suns defended man-to-man. It was O'Neal who switched defenses. Kobe passed the ball to the center. Yao Ming did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He made a jump shot in front of Bell and hit a three-pointer from the center. . 3 to 3.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "The first goal came from Yao Ming's three-pointer. He is getting more and more accurate from the outside!"

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Yao Ming's confidence comes from hard training. I hope he can improve this year. The key lies in shooting."

Zhang Liyi nodded: "If Yao Ming can turn the three-pointer from the center into his main shooting point, it will be difficult for opponents to guard against him. It's too high."

Yao Ming did not play in the Asian Championships in the summer and practiced three-pointers at home. He will definitely take more shots this season. He is already more confident than centers such as Cousins ​​and Brook Lopez in Yang Rui's previous life, and his talent with soft wrists has been fully utilized.

This was only 2005, and Yao Ming was already stronger than in his previous life. He was slightly weaker in low-post one-on-ones and offensive with the ball, but his role in the system was far greater than that of the Rockets.

To put it bluntly, it was a mistake for Yao Ming to join the Rockets. He seems to be dominant in low-post offense, but he has limited help for his teammates. He shot 50% from 20 shots in a game. It is difficult to score 30 points even with free throws. The location is dead.

Not only that, the coaching staff also has to worry about how to pass the ball better to Yao Ming. When he and others are constantly stuck in positions to get the ball, their physical strength is exhausted faster, and they are prone to making mistakes when going around. In his previous life, Yao Ming averaged more than three turnovers per game during his peak period according to Van Gundy, and his worst season was 3.5 turnovers.

Now Yao Ming plays very easily on both offense and defense and will not get injured easily.
