On the evening of the 8th, the Staples Center arena was full. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the players came out, the fans gave a round of applause. Even if the opponent is very weak, Yao Ming is sure that he will not play before the game, the fans are still willing to watch the game, because the home team will definitely be able to score high scores, and there is a chance of a big victory, and Kobe Bryant is more likely to score high scores.

Super data, always the thing that attracts fans the most.

Yesterday, Los Angeles Sports predicted that Kobe Bryant was expected to break out in this game, and Yao Ming would not play, and he would be able to get more shots. When Yao Ming was there, the two cooperated a lot, and the ball would not be concentrated on one person.

On the sidelines, some fans supported with the sign of "Kobe Bryant 70 points" and expressed their good wishes. Jordan's career high is 69 points per game, and as long as Kobe can score 70 points, it will be a surpass for Jordan.

Kobe's wife, Vanessa, was also present to watch the game and support her husband. The Eagle County incident has passed, the relationship between the two is as good as ever, and Kobe Bryant is in a good mood.

Because the opponent is weak, this is not a national live broadcast, only local stations and China's CCTV5 live broadcast.

Zhang Li said when introducing the lineup: "Yao Ming can't play today due to injury, it's a pity, the Rockets have Mutombo on the inside, when he was on the Knicks, Larry Brown often said that he wanted Yao Ming to become Mutombo, and many fans left messages on the Internet to see them matchup." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "I think that the current Yao Ming is definitely not something that Mutombo can prevent." Yao Ming is expected to become the NBA's No. 1 center, and Mutombo can only play Cato off the bench. ”

Zhang Li joked: "Today I hope the Lakers don't win so easily, Yang Rui said when he was with the Raptors that Carter's biggest enemy is garbage time, and now the Lakers, Kobe's biggest enemy is also garbage time, and if he plays less time, it will be difficult for him to play luxury data." ”

During the warm-up, players on both sides were practicing their three-point shots. According to the analysis of many experts, the only magic weapon to win the Lakers is three points, because the Lakers generally use 122 joint defense, and Yao Ming guards the restricted area, and they can't hit the basket at all. Even if there is no Yao Ming today, the Lakers' interior strength is significantly better than that of the Rockets.

The Lakers started five: Damon Jones, Hojberg, Kobe, Odom, Rashid.

Rockets Five: Mike Bibby, Mobley, Jalen Rose, Chris Humphries, Kevin Cato

Yang Rui's decision to let Kobe Bryant brush up on the data is related to the Rocket's staffing. They poached former Pacers star Jalen Rose in the summer, and in Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Raptors, and the main defender was Rose.

In that game, Rose was like adding a buff to Kobe, and the basket was as wide as the sea.

Rose's stats are not bad right now, which is very confusing, and the Rockets thought that trading him would make the team very competitive in the new season. In fact, Ross is strong in attack and weak in defense, and it is not qualified to be the second master.

Humphries, a rookie who was drafted in the first round by the Rockets in 2004, is very physical and equally terrible defensively.

The Rockets let him play the starter was forced, and the weakest position of the team was the No. 4 position, and the previously highly-anticipated "American Tony Leung" Eddie Griffin couldn't keep up with the pace of the game because of alcoholism, and the Rockets could only reluctantly cut him.

Then the Nets signed Griffin on a free transfer, thinking they could pick up a bargain, and the guy ended up spending a year in a rehab center.

And Humphries, in Yang Rui's previous life, this person left an extremely deep impression on the fans.

HE IS 206CM TALL, WEIGHS 107 KILOGRAMS, AND AVERAGED 13.8 POINTS AND 11 REBOUNDS PER GAME IN HIS PEAK 11-12 SEASON. That season, although he didn't make the All-Star Game, he was selected to the top five many times and was dunked several times by a guy named Blake Griffin of the Clippers.

And he is best known for his marriage to Kim Kardashian, becoming the first NBA player to be prevented from death under the close pressure of members of the Kardashian family.

In short, the overall defense of the Rockets is very *** Yang Rui's Raptors in his previous life were even worse, and the Raptors at least had Bosh.

After the start of the game, the performance of the Rockets was eye-catching, with two shots on the outside and a quick reversal.

Bibby scored on consecutive single Jones shots, and Mobley also got rid of Hojberg and threw two three-pointers, as well as a baseline breakthrough layup, steal Jones' pass, and a single fast-break dunk performance.

Jones became an undercover agent for the Rockets today, sleepwalking on the court in the opening game. The "White Devil" Bibby type of guard has always been his bitter man, and when he plays the Mavericks, he also has a terrible defense of Terry.

As a point guard, Bibby's assist ability is not very strong, and his advantage is that he has excellent direction change and breakthrough speed, which can quickly tear apart the opponent's defense, and then make a quick stop shot, block and break shot, and occasionally make a three-pointer.

Jones moves slowly laterally, has poor bounce, and is always half a beat slow to block and interfere with jump shots.

Hojberg and Jones have very similar styles, both are three-point shots, poor defense, and as a veteran, he is slower than Jones to move sideways, and he is more deflated against Mobley, who can shoot and shoot.

After 5 minutes, the Lakers trailed 14-23.

In this case, the ordinary coach was about to call a timeout for substitutions, but Yang Rui watched the game quietly on the sidelines without any indication.

Zhang Li was a little incomprehensible. "Why didn't Yang Rui call a timeout? The Lakers only had Kobe Bryant score 9 points with a good performance, and the two interior players were active on the perimeter today, not empty. Being pressed and beaten by a weak team, this is not like the style of the Lakers. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Today's game just shows the importance of Yao Ming, he is not there, and the Lakers will not have an overwhelming advantage inside." Cato and Humphries defended the penalty area, controlled the backcourt rebounds, and the frontcourt rebounds were also fierce. ”

In fact, it was Yang Rui who did not arrange Odom and Rashid to attack, and the two were only responsible for pulling away to help Kobe Bryant score, even if they covered, they only blocked and did not dismantle, and cut to the basket in a good position to give space to Kobe.

The Lakers sacrifice offense on the inside and make a cameo appearance as a blue-collar player, while the Rockets interior is a blue-collar player, doing what they are good at, defending and grabbing rebounds, and naturally looks better than the Lakers' two space-based interior lines.

Yang Rui didn't call a timeout, believing that Kobe Bryant could find his touch, and let him continue to shoot if the starting shooting rate was not high. Without a timeout, Kobe Bryant wouldn't have thought much about it, knowing that he would do what he said.

Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people.

Yang Rui knows the characteristics of the Rockets' outside line, knows that Jones and Hojberg are partners, and it is difficult for the Lakers to prevent the Rockets' offense on the periphery, so he deliberately found two three-point guards with poor defense to partner with Kobe, so as to better open up space and help Kobe score.

If Iguodala were to be played, the Rockets wouldn't be able to score easily. On Mo Williams, the defense is also a little better than Jones. But that's not in the Lakers' interest, and it's harder to achieve the goals set before the game.

Brushing data is a science, and if the Lakers take a big lead at halftime, like the one against the Heat, there will be many people who question the game and sympathize with the weak. If the score is anxious, it is reasonable for the stars to play more time.

Yang Rui didn't call a timeout, Carlisle didn't call either, the Rockets were the leading side.

In the second half, Bryant found a shooting feeling, relied on Odom to cover to get rid of Rose, and hit three consecutive shots in a hurry.

Cato is an excellent meat shield center, and although he has not played luxury statistics after signing a big contract with the Rockets, he has always started and his ability to defend the restricted area has been affirmed. Jason Collins, who was selected by the Rockets, is now sent to the Hornets because of Cato.

However, Cato's weaknesses are also obvious, he is heavy, he doesn't move fast enough, he is easy to get past when switching guards, and the defenders are half a beat slower to make a pull-up jumper.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed 31-37, and Bryant personally scored 19 points and 2 assists.
