The yellow storm in the NBA

In the next two back-to-back preseason games against the Grizzlies, the Rockets defeated their opponents. In the final game against the Spurs, they lost to the opponent and ended the preseason with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.

On the 31st of this month, the Rockets will usher in their season opener and challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away from home.

The Lakers are predicted to be ranked around 7th to 9th in the Western Conference this season. This shows that their lineup is not very good and is completely supported by Kobe.

Although there is a left-handed magician Odom, his concentration is a mystery. When he is good, he can be super god, and when he is bad, he can be super ghost.

As for the others, Bynum has height and athletic ability, but his potential has not yet been developed and he can be considered a qualified starter.

But as long as Kobe is still around, he cannot be underestimated, because he is a superstar who can change the game on his own.

In terms of scoring methods and scoring explosiveness, no one in the league today can compare to Kobe. After all, this is an outstanding man who scored 81 points in a single game and scored more points in three quarters than the entire opponent's team.

As long as he is given a capable helper, he can lead the team into the playoffs. It can be said that a healthy Kobe is a nightmare for all players in the league. Don't try to lock him down. You can only pray that this guy has a bad hand.

.

Of course, Kobe's inability to defeat does not mean that the Lakers cannot defeat. After all, basketball is a team sport. As long as you have greater advantages in other positions, it doesn't matter even if Kobe is beaten. Anyway, the final comparison is the overall score of the team.

It's not a player's individual score.

This game has already become extremely popular in China before it even started. The Rockets have become the home team in the minds of most Chinese people since Yao Ming joined the team. Now that Quan Xiao is here, the Chinese people are even more passionate about it.

The Lakers have already attracted a group of old fans through their "show time" in the 1980s. After winning three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, their fan base has expanded a lot, and Kobe's popularity in China is also very high.

Perhaps because his style of play is highly entertaining and he has produced a series of scoring performances, his popularity in China remains high, and he can compete with Yao Ming.

On October 31st, the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles was packed with people. As the second largest city in the United States, it also has Hollywood and the Lakers.

Game attendance is always high and there is no shortage of stars.

This is especially true for today's opening game. The courtside seats are occupied by some well-known Hollywood stars. Some people may want more exposure, while some people really like basketball.

In the visiting team's locker room before the start of the game, Quan Xiao began to spread out rice paper and prepare to write. This has become his habit. He writes to calm his mind before crucial games.

He had not done this in the previous preseason, but today's opening game was a new starting point for his basketball career, so his mood was different from the past, and he needed to calm down through writing.

Although his teammates were curious, they didn't bother him. Everyone had their own special way to relieve stress, and they said they understood.

As the beautiful calligraphy appeared on the rice paper one by one, Quan Xiao's heart gradually calmed down. After the calligraphy was completed, he had adjusted his state of mind to the best state.

"It's well written. I didn't realize you had this skill." As another Chinese, Yao Ming was the only person present except Quan Xiao who could understand and appreciate it.

"It makes Brother Yao laugh. I just want to calm down my mind through writing, so as not to get too excited and affect my performance."

"Well, I can feel that you have calmed down, which is really amazing. You know that my first game that year kept me awake almost the whole night, and you also know that I didn't play well in the first game.

Okay. But looking at your current state, you will definitely be able to perform at your own level in a few games!"

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, we will definitely win!"

Looking at Quan Xiao's confident adopted son, Yao Ming smiled happily. He was also looking forward to Quan Xiao's performance in the future. In the usual team practice games and these pre-season games, his strength has been revealed.

The team recognized that, yes, it was strength rather than potential.

With super physical fitness, stable open shots and perfect defensive awareness, as long as he plays in the league for one or two seasons and his game experience improves, he will definitely become one of the top players in the league. The entire team is convinced of this.

No doubt.

But in fact, Yao Ming also discovered something that many people have overlooked, and that is the mature playing style and psychological quality displayed by Quan Xiao.

Although he only joined the league this year as a rookie and is still a young man under the age of 19, his playing style is very stable and he rarely shows up with passionate and brainless performances. He is almost like an old player who has been playing for several years.

Same.

After a series of pre-game warm-up exercises and the playing of the American national anthem, this much-anticipated game in China finally started.

"Hello, friends in front of the TV, everyone is welcome to watch the 2007-2008 NBA season opening game between the Rockets and the Lakers. Today I am very honored to invite the well-known basketball expert Su Qun to commentate on this game with my partner. No.

Do you know what Teacher Su thinks of this game?"

CCTV Sports Channel broadcast the game live today, with Yang Jian's partner Su Qun as the commentator. Zhang Weiping was also sent as a special guest to commentate on the game.

"I personally think today's game will be a close game. The overall strength of the two teams is not far apart. Maybe the Rockets are slightly stronger, but the Lakers have the best player in the league, Kobe. The Rockets want to limit Kobe's offensive possibilities.

Not easy."

"And compared with the previous coach Van Gundy, this year's new Rockets coach Adelman has a big gap in training the team's defense. Adelman mainly plays the Princeton system, and his ability to train offense is much greater than defense, so today

Whether or not Kobe can be restrained will be a test for the Rockets."

"Another Rockets team has relatively high player mobility this year, and the running-in time is short. It's hard to say how tacit understanding is. So I think this game will be a close game, and of course I hope it will be so!"

"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams first. The Rockets' back line is partnered by Alston and Quan Xiao, Battier and Smith are on the front line, and the center is Yao, who we are very familiar with."

"On the opposite side of the Lakers, Fisher and Kobe are partnered on the back line, Walton and Turiaf are on the forward line, and the center is Kwame Brown, the No. 1 pick in 2001."

Although his strength is much inferior to that of Yao Ming, and he has been dubbed the "parallel import number one pick", his single-round physical fitness and jumping ability, as the number one pick in 2001, Kwame Brown is much better than the number one pick in 2002, Yao Ming.

So he easily won the jump ball and successfully passed the ball to his own point guard.

The first official NBA game belonging to Quan Xiao has begun!
