Chapter 563: Balance of Power (2)

In the new season, Kobe Bryant changed his jersey number to No. 24, which attracted heated discussions in the NBA.

Some people say that Kobe Bryant is arrogant, delusional to be a freshman older than 23, surpass Michael Jordan, and can't do it temporarily in action, and take the lead in spirit Ah Q.

But Kobe's explanation is that a person's day has 24 hours, and the NBA's offensive time is also 24 hours per round, and he changed the jersey number to 24 to remind himself to cherish every hour of life and every second of time on the court.

In the opening game, the bosses of both sides scored one goal each.

Montgomery said to Ron Adams: "The Lakers haven't changed much from last season, Odom has moved to the power forward position, and this guy should have played inside a long time ago. ”

"Now that the league is withering, there are only a handful of teams like us that have twin towers like Yang Di and Chandler."

"There have been a slight changes in Yang Di's style of play, and he now likes to carry his back more and more." Montgomery looked at the player's pre-season performance and came to a conclusion.

"He's very smart, he knows how to score with the least effort, he leans his back and he can shoot 30 times a game as long as he feels good."

Yang Di has always been committed to scoring easily, and in the first three years of his career, his development trajectory is like this, from picking up rebounds and attacking twice, to dribbling and strong to the basket, to mid-range catch-and-shoot jumpers, to shaking defenders under the basket to attack, and now to the back-to-back jumper.

Make it simpler and more efficient.

Bryant picked up a pass from Smush Parker, shook off Ray Allen, and hit a mid-range jumper to meet Danny Granger's assistive defense.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Ray Allen shook off Kobe Bryant and hit a zero-degree jumper under the cover of Yang Di's blocking.

Hit his first shot to the Warriors and get his first point to the Warriors.

Yang Di singled Odom with his back, knocked Odom away with strong strength, and then turned over and hit a jumper, the action was like an enlarged version of Kobe, and the 2.08-meter-08 person actually had such excellent flexibility.

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but show a strange color in his eyes, Yang Di actually threw out the skill of backward jumper so naturally, the rhythm and amplitude of the backward jumper, compared with him, it was not much better, he remembered Garnett, compared with Yang Di and Garnett's backward jumper, it seems that Yang Di's difficulty is higher.

"It's getting stronger."

Yang Di's growth aroused Kobe's fighting spirit, and two years ago, he would not have imagined that he would one day come to Oracle Arena as a challenger.

Kobe Bryant defended very seriously, Ray Allen didn't have many chances to shoot, Yang Di still had the most balls, and after holding the ball and causing Bynum to foul, Phil Jackson replaced the young Andrew Bynum.

God, he has only been on the court for half a quarter, and he has already received 2 fouls, and he doesn't know how to defend in the face of Yang Di flying.

"It hurts." Bynum touched his chest, gasped, and walked off the field with a sad face.

Montgomery made substitution adjustments, replacing Ray Allen and Tyson Chandler, and Kobe Bryant must have played the whole first quarter, letting Ray Allen go early, and also to let Ray Allen play early in the second quarter.

Monta Ellis and Biedrins played.

Biedrins and Byron Davis block and dismantle, Yang Di's weak side area contained the Lakers' defense, and the blocking and dismantling went down, the Lakers wrapped Byron Davis, and Byron transferred to the weak side and handed it to Yang Di.

Yang Di took the ball and threw it into the sky, and Biedrins ran over, faster than the Lakers interior Brian Cook, who was faster than the defense, to catch the ball with both hands and dunk.

"The Warriors are all this kind of inside."

Phil Jackson shook his head, Biedrins is another type with similar functions to Tyson Chandler, can run and jump, can participate in fast breaks, and is particularly athletic.

He was still to come.

Returning from the offseason, the third-year Biedlins has just turned 20 years old, but his body is finally able to withstand NBA-level confrontations, at least ordinary confrontations can be completed, and on the defensive end, he sent a block to the breakthrough of Smush Parker, which made the "Grim Reaper" disgraced.

"Yes!"

Yang Di's eyes lit up, and he high-fived and encouraged Biedrins.

It was thought that after John Salmons left, Monta Ellis would be the player who benefited the most from the bench, but Biedrins' attack and defense showed the rapid improvement since the summer.

Bryant dribbled twice in a row under his crotch and crossed past Danny Granger, who was defending him on the court.

Then with both hands raised, another feint was made to shoot the basket.

Granger was afraid of Kobe's shot, and this time he was shaken up by Kobe, Kobe Bryant drew a waltz at his feet, turned around at 360 degrees, and made a jump shot.

Hit!

"Awesome!"

Yang Di exclaimed, in the past two years, Kobe's offense has been perfected, and there is no need to deliberately create difficulty, it is already unparalleled in the world, the rhythm of personal offense is particularly good, and there is almost no solution in the middle distance.

With 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the first quarter, Yang Di went off the court.

Montgomery was replaced by veteran Adonal Foyer, a veteran who made a big contribution to the Warriors last season, and won a round of applause from the crowd when he made his debut.

Kobe Bryant played the whole first quarter and went out like a tiger, cutting down 14 points and 2 assists.

Yang Di scored 7 points in the first quarter, Ray Allen 5 points, Byron Davis 3 points, and the Warriors' Big Three combined scored only 1 more point than Kobe.

The Lakers also managed to take a 27-24 lead over the Warriors.

The two sides almost switched to a pure substitute match, with Phil Jackson making fewer moves, and Odom, who came out early, to play and lead the bench players to the game.

On the Warriors' side, they were replaced by Ray Allenga Tyson Chandler.

Just as Byron Davis is used to partnering with Youngdy to block pick-and-rolls, Montgomery intends to pair up Ray Allen and Chandler more often to form a second team.

Monta Ellis got possession and the tinkerer burst inside like a Hot Wheels with a Hot Wheels on his legs.

"呲~"

He is extremely fast, and his dribbling ability has reached the level of man-and-ball, and he can face the Lakers' backup point guard, that is, rookie Jordan Farmar, and he can pass the ground in one step.

Monta Ellis was like a high-speed fighter jet heading straight under the Lakers' basket.

A beautiful turn in front of the defending Radmanovic wiped his torso, and then the whole man took to the air and glided in the air for a layup.

Holding the ball in both hands with an obvious small lever, Odom confused the defender, and hit a layup.

"So fast!"

Jordan Farmar was taken aback, although Monta Ellis is the main rotation player of the championship team Warriors, but he is still a player with a low reputation in the league, he didn't expect to have such a speed, and when he is facing each other head-to-head, he can really feel this kind of speed.

"Is this the NBA? Sure enough, the master is like a cloud. ”

Famar had the same thoughts as Yang Di back then, as if he had seen a new world.
