"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

Rondo made up his mind, although he knew that there was no hope of catching up with Paul in this game, but he had to work hard to narrow the gap with Paul as much as possible.

……

As soon as it opened, the iron plate combination showed good power.

Bryant missed his first shot in the opening game, and Big Ben grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Odom.

Odom passed back to Kobe Bryant again, and Bryant hit a three-point shot.

With the existence of Big Ben under the basket, Kobe Bryant can shoot unscrupulously, even if the shot misses, Big Ben has a good chance of grabbing the rebound.

At the beginning of the game, in several consecutive offensive rounds, the Lakers hit all of them and directly took a 10-6 lead.

Richard was a little helpless, if Mo Ning was there, I am afraid that the Lakers would want to play so easily, it must be impossible, although Mo Ning even triggered the group therapy effect, but his strength is not as strong as the current one.

However, if Mo Ning is here, he can at least create some threat to Big Ben......

Vallejo is far less important than Mo Ning in this regard, first, he is young and inexperienced, and second, his own strength is indeed inferior to Daben.

Fortunately, the Lakers' advantage was not further expanded in the following time, and Kobe Bryant didn't know what was crazy and began to organize his teammates' offense.

After eight minutes of the first quarter, the Zen master called a timeout and replaced Big Ben with the team's backup center, Kwame Brown.

Seeing Kwame Brown appear, Richard remembered Jordan's previous request......

If nothing else, Kwame Brown is about to lose track of it with the Lakers.

Although he can still get some playing time now, don't forget that the Lakers still have Bynum on the team.

Bynum's stats last season, his rookie season, were quite the same, averaging an embarrassing statistic of only 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.

The Lakers basically didn't use Bynum in their rookie season much, and they probably felt that Bynum was too young, and wanted to polish it first.

Jordan's entrustment, Richard has always remembered, but now is not a good time to take Kwame Brown, this matter has to be considered in the long run.

……

With four minutes to go before the end of the first quarter, Rondo was kept on the court by Richard.

In the first eight minutes, Rondo's statistics were not particularly impressive, only getting 2 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Counting on this efficiency, if you want to surpass Paul tonight, there must be no chance at all.

Rondo was unlucky, and he didn't have a good offensive touch tonight.

may also be the big pestle on the inside, so he can't get any chance to break through to the basket, and projection is not his strong point, in the past eight minutes, there is only a pitiful 3 shots and 1 shot.

……

Finally caught the opportunity for Big Ben to leave the game, how could Rondo miss this opportunity to brush up points.

But the feeling made his brows wrinkled into twists, and two close-range throws under the basket turned out to be iron.

Rondo went straight to 1 of 5 in the opening game, and if this efficiency continues to attack wildly, Rondo feels that their Buccaneers may lose tonight because of themselves.

It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible because you lose, and what's even more terrible is that if you lose, you can only get half of the points.

……

"Since it doesn't feel good, then don't attack at all, anyway, the east is not bright and the west is bright!" Rondo thought to himself.

It really felt too cold, and in normal times, Rondo was still quite sure to score those two small throws.

Now that he doesn't want to lose and wants to earn points, he naturally has to focus on other stats besides scoring.

……

Granger came to a rather chic and elegant three-pointer from the outside, which is quite a bit of Kobe's picturesque style, especially the sound of striking iron, which perfectly reproduces Kobe......

Vallejo was entangled with Kwame Brown under the basket, Milicic was not under the basket, at this point in time, Rondo directly killed, accurately judged the landing point of the rebound, and grabbed the rebound with a fan-like big hand.

If you observe faith, you can find that Rondo's hands are really big and a little unreasonable.

Kwame Brown was right next to him, and it was obvious that the hand of the seven-foot center that seemed to be Kwame Brown didn't look as big as Rondo......

Richard is no stranger to this, Rondo's big hand is his signature weapon, and with a hand that is far larger than the average person, Rondo is invincible on the rebounding end as well as on the defensive end.

Paul, who was on the sidelines, although he had seen this scene countless times in the previous fourteen games, couldn't help but admire it in his heart right now.

This little thin man who is about the same height as himself, if he is twenty centimeters taller, will he become a rebounding monster like Rodman or Big Ben?

"Coach, why do I always feel like Rajan is a blue-collar center, well, a blue-collar center with playmaking skills......" Paul sighed and asked Richard next to him.

Richard smiled and nodded, isn't it, who doesn't know the name of Long Center in the future.

If you want to talk about the amazing players in the entire history of the NBA, Rondo can definitely be in the top ten.

The most iconic stats of his entire career are 8.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.7 steals.

In addition, Rondo played an ungodly stat of 18 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists, almost completing a double-triple-double, which is only once in the entire NBA history......

2 points, 6 assists and 14 rebounds, 2 points, 12 rebounds and 19 assists, 0 points and 11 assists, 0 points and 15 assists, 6 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds and 8 steals.

Especially this last data, which almost made a four-pair......

Anyway, if you want to talk about strange data, Rondo's data is definitely very representative.

As a guard, the score is almost the same as the rebounding data, and there are so many strange statistics, which is definitely a strange thing in the wonder.

"You just think of him as a blue-collar center with playmaking skills...... Richard said with a laugh.

……

Rondo grabbed the rebound and passed to Milicic, who was running off the ball.

As a result, Milicic also missed the ball, only to see Rondo open his big hand again and snatch the rebound from the heads of Vallejo and Kwame Brown.

Rondo has already made up his mind not to attack, and immediately after getting the rebound, he passed the ball again......

This time it was still passed to Milicic, maybe he felt that Milicic's offensive firepower was strong, and he had a good chance of helping him get an assist.

What made Rondo dumbfounded was that Milicic didn't score the ball again, and in desperation, Long Center could only operate again and grab an offensive rebound.

The fans at Staples Arena are going crazy, this little black thin man actually grabbed three offensive rebounds in a single offensive round?!

How does this make others play?!

It's amazing, it's amazing.
