Unlike Guo Xu's laziness, Kobe Bryant practiced more during the holidays and maintained an excellent competitive state.

He played in the Drew League, scoring 45 points in a game and finishing with a mid-range shot under James Harden's defense. Harden also scored 44 points in that game, and the two contributed to the most classic matchup in Drew league history.

Later, Kobe Bryant almost joined the Chinese CBA Shanxi team.

Bryant's agent team agreed to join the CBA, but made five surprising demands.

The first is to settle the salary on a monthly basis, no matter how many games you play this month, it is 2 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 13 million yuan, and it is after tax.

Second, the Shanxi team has to arrange single-family villas for the daily life of Kobe Bryant and his entourage, including 10 bodyguards.

The third is that Kobe Bryant has to arrange his own daily activities, including attending business events and training, and the team must not interfere. This means that Bryant can not participate in any training and business activities of the team, unless he wants to.

Fourth, he must arrange a high-end special plane for Kobe Bryant to go to the away game, and it is estimated that he will need about 200,000 yuan to fly back and forth to play away.

Fifth, after the NBA suspension ends, Kobe Bryant can return to the United States immediately without bearing any liability for breach of contract.

This is a signing player to play a basketball game, and it is clearly a father. Who will say yes except for the brain-dead? However, the owner of the Shanxi team is a hardcore Ministry, and he agreed without thinking.

It's a pity that the Basketball Association later issued a rule that did not allow temporary contracts to be signed in various places, which made the boss angry and wanted to sue the Basketball Association. This is so inhumane that the Basketball Association wants to prevent others from fulfilling their filial piety......

The NBA opener kicks off on Christmas night, broadcast live on TNT Radio.

Before the start of the game, the Suns held a championship ring awarding ceremony. O'Neill received his ring, accepted the applause of the fans, and then entered the live broadcast room of TNT and became a guest.

Kenny Smith asked, "Shackle, what do you think of the news that you and Jason often overate together when they hang out, saying that you have taken him badly and made him not as good as he used to be?" ”

"He's always been a foodie, he asked me out, I'm just a companion, don't blame me if he has a problem with his state." O'Neal paused and smiled: "I don't think there will be any problems with his form, I think it will be the Suns who will win this year." ”

Barkley said: "I don't think it's a problem for him to play without a hamburger. ”

It is known that Barkley used to train while eating a McDonald's burger.

Barkley also responded to this: "It's true, when I went to Philadelphia, Julius Owen, Moses Malone and Maurice Cheeks never trained, they just sat on the sidelines and ate McDonald's on their training bikes. So once I've been in the league for that long, I've adopted that philosophy as well. ”

Barkley's answer revealed that he had done it more than once, and that he had seen some experienced players do it and just imitate them because he felt he had earned the right to do so.

Buckley, a fake foodie, also talked about what kind of McDonald's food he ordered. "I always order a burger with cured meat and eggs, and a hot cake with sausages, it's the best breakfast you can get."

Real foodies will think that this is an extremely bad taste, and the sausage and cake combination can be sold?

The Suns raised the team's seventh championship flag, and the Warriors players warmed up after the award ceremony.

Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant said hello, but neither of them spoke. From Kobe's sharp eyes, Guo Xu can see that he really wants to win, and from Guo Xu's size, Kobe can see that he really hasn't practiced.

Suns starters: Guo Xu, Roy, Klay Thompson, Ibaka, Gasol Jr.

It would be terrible if all five of them were in their prime, and only Ibaka was the only one who didn't make the All-Star selection.

Warriors starters: Curry, Kobe, Rohr Deng, Brand, Bynum.

If these five people are all at their peak, they must also be the champion lineup, and all of them have been selected as All-Stars. Looking at the depth of the squad, both teams are outstanding in the league.

Bynum jumped the ball to win, and the Warriors attacked first.

Seeing that the Suns had a rookie starter, Curry passed the ball to Kobe Bryant and singled out Thompson.

Kobe Bryant couldn't break through with the dribble under the crotch of the face frame, and the left side leaned on the opponent with his back and turned around to break through and was blocked, he protected the ball to adjust the rhythm, and the baseline turned back and made a jumper that missed.

Thompson has average physicality, good defensive awareness, and has the potential to become a top-tier 3-and-D player. D'Antoni deliberately let him defend Kobe Bryant, which can attract Kobe to go head-to-head.

In fact, in training camp, Thompson was even better on the defensive end than Roy. He was able to play as soon as he entered the league, and he did a good job of defending Roy and Richardson in training, and he won the start.

Gasolka Jr., Ibaka grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, Guo Xu retreated and slowed down the rhythm, and now the field is not a bombardment lineup.

Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, and kept a distance from Curry in the middle to organize. Ibaka and Gasol Jr. pulled away to cover on the side.

Guo Xu changed direction after dribbling under his crotch continuously, attracting Curry to move sideways with his left hand and dribbling to his right hand, and changed direction again to break through.

After only two weeks of practice, Guo Xu regained the feeling of breakthrough, he knows how to use technology, as long as he is proficient in regaining his old muscle memory.

If it is against a small guard to defend Guo Xu, he has played too many games with Curry on Earth Four, and he knows what fake moves the opponent likes to eat.

Chinese commentators broadcast live games, often emphasizing that in the Warriors' games, Curry will play whoever he defends, and often say that Curry is not active in defense but is a little thinner, which is obviously misleading and nonsense.

Curry's rookie physical test was performed 10 times with 84 kilograms. What is this concept? Durant can't do any of them.

This year's fifth-place Pistons rookie, power forward Tristan Thompson, who is known for his physical fitness, also has only nine bench presses at 84 kilograms. This is a strongman who can break through Khloe Kardashian's defense in the future and have the strength to cheat.

What's even more outrageous is that Curry's vertical bounce is the same as that of Griffin, who is known for his body.

In fact, Curry's strength is not bad, 190CM tall is a tall point guard, his real weakness on the defensive end is that he is not good at defending breakthrough guards, and his movement speed is average. In the playoffs against the Lakers last season, Curry was suddenly sour by Monta Ellis and dragged down by Commey.

Funnily enough, few people believe that Curry is a power guard, even if the media releases his physical measurements. Because he has a cute face, like a primary school student, he also focuses on outside shooting on the offensive end.

Guo Xu's speed is also much faster than Curry after gaining weight, he is short and more flexible, and after a successful breakthrough, he drives straight into the middle.

Bynum retreated to make up for the defense, Guo Xu saw the opportunity to give Thompson, who ran to the right baseline, who relied on Gasol Jr. to cover and get rid of Kobe, received the ball and shot a three-point shot, and the ball hollowed into the net. 3 to 0.

Smith shouted, "3-pointer!" The Suns' No. 16 rookie shot the first shot of the new season, an assist from Jason. ”

O'Neal said: "As soon as he arrives in the Suns, he must have something special, and the pick does not mean strength. ”

Thompson continued to show his individual ability on the defensive end, Kobe Bryant received the ball on the right side of the frame to explore the three threats, he kept a distance to lower the center of gravity and single defense, his expression was unusually calm, as if Kobe Bryant was shrouded in a piece of light, Buddha light shines.

In the face of this Buddhist defense, Kobe Bryant chose to take a step inside the three-point line to pull out a jumper, Thompson jumped forward and interfered but failed to cover it, and the ball hit the iron and popped up......
