NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 306 Lakers VS Heat, Wade beats his old club!
Westbrook thought he scored well today, so he wanted to get more rebounds and assists.

But the more impatient he was, the more likely he was to make troubles. In just the third quarter, he made 3 turnovers.

Lin Tian also began to play singles at this time, and Robertson was completely unable to prevent his breakthrough and mid-range shot.

Wade and Howard also performed well, with one outside and one inside with a balanced offense and defense, which made the Thunder lose their temper.

Even though the Thunder trailed by a lot of points after the third quarter, they still had no intention of surrendering.

Westbrook returned to the court in a hurry before he rested for a minute in the fourth quarter. Taking advantage of Lin Tian's absence, he began to educate the two rookies of the Lakers.

At this time, the Lakers' point guard was Van Jordan, divided into Brogdon.

The two were trained by Westbrook in turn, allowing Westbrook's scoring to continue to advance.

Under the leadership of Westbrook, they once recovered the point difference to 13 points.

Lin Tian and Wade, who were going to clock out in the third quarter, had to take off their warm-up clothes and return to the court.

As soon as they debuted, the team's defense underwent a qualitative change.

Lin Tian also started to defend Wei Shao alone.

The 28-year-old Westbrook is at his peak, and the speed of the first step is unmatched.

The last time there was such a physically explosive guard in the league was Derrick Rose.

Westbrook, who was suffocating, Lin Tian was not slow in singles, but the effect of singles was not satisfactory.

His biggest advantage is his speed. When playing against other guards, Westbrook's speed is often a gear faster.

When he activates, the opponent generally has difficulty reacting, and is half a body or even a body behind.

But in front of Lin Tian, ​​his advantage in speed disappeared, and he was not Lin Tian's opponent in the confrontation.

In this way, Lin Tian played singles twice, but Westbrook failed to convert the offense into points, and instead allowed the Lakers to complete the counterattack.

Westbrook played really aggrieved, and his teammates didn't get much help, which caused his mistakes to pile up again.

Finally, with 4 minutes left in the final quarter, the Thunder voluntarily surrendered, and Donovan replaced the two main players, Westbrook and Adams.

Lin Tian, ​​Wade and Howard also returned to the bench with a smile on their faces, and they also gave Kobe a high-five by the way.

For the next few minutes, they talked and laughed watching the team's rookies finish the game.

With the harsh beeping sound, today's game is completely over.

The Lakers beat the Thunder 120:100 without bloodshed and won their first victory in the opening game of the new season!
本场比赛，林天表现尚可，一共拿到45分7篮板7助攻3抢断1盖帽2失误1犯规的数据。

穿上湖人球衣，为湖人打第一场常规赛的韦德拿到了18分3篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽。

Howard scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers.

雷霆队那边，威少砍下33分12篮板9助攻1抢断3犯规7失误。

He is one assist short of a triple-double, but the number of turnovers is also glaring.

It is relatively rare for a player to make so many mistakes in a game.

After the opening game, the Lakers accepted an interview in the media room.

Like last season, they're mostly interviewed by the three biggest players.

It's just that Kobe retired, so the one who replaced Kobe's position became Wade.

Wade, who won the game, was very happy, and answered the reporters' questions cautiously, for fear that he might accidentally say something wrong.

When the reporter asked him what his goal for this season was, he said the championship without hesitation.

When Lin Tian was interviewed, he also affirmed the performance of his teammates today, especially when he bragged about Wade so much that he kept scratching his head, he was a little embarrassed.

Wade has been a core player for the Heat for so many years. After coming to the Lakers, he does not occupy the ball.

Lin Tian passed the ball to him, and he played it whenever he had a chance, and passed it if he had no chance. He played extremely rationally, and he didn't reach out to ask Lin Tian.

In the case of not many shots, Wade scored 18 points, shooting more than 60%!There are also blocks and steals, and the debut is perfect.

At least judging from the opening game, the arrival of Wade has indeed brought great changes to the Lakers, and there is still plenty of fuel in his fuel tank.

After the press conference, Lin Tian returned home and carefully watched the replay of today's game.

Except for a few rookies who performed unsatisfactorily, other players played well.

All in all, in one sentence, they are very strong now!It should be the only team that can wrestle with the Warriors.

Early the next morning, the players packed their things and got on a special plane to Miami.

Their next opponent is Wade's old club, the Miami Heat!

When the plane flew over Miami, Wade looked down through the window and could see the long sandy beach.

He smiled wryly and said, "I never expected that I would face my old club in the second game."

Howard put an arm around Wade's shoulder: "Dwight! Let me help you teach them tomorrow night!"

Wade smiled: "The fans in Miami don't owe me anything, I want to thank them! But tomorrow night! I will have revenge on Riley!"

He has always been a high-spirited player. He has worked hard for the Heat these years, but in the end he received a shameful contract.

Wade couldn't swallow this breath.

Can clearly feel Wade's anger, Lin Tian also said: "They will regret it!"

Nick Young said: "Actually, we should thank Riley. If Riley wasn't willing to spend money, Dwyane, you wouldn't have joined the Lakers, would you?"

When he said that, everyone burst into laughter.

In this rather relaxed atmosphere, the plane landed in Miami.

After getting off the plane, boarding the bus, and arriving at a five-star hotel outside the American Airlines Arena, the players were brought into the American Airlines Arena by Wade not long after they put down their luggage.

Although Wade is no longer a member of the Heat, the staff of the American Airlines Arena are all there.

After they saw Wade, they greeted Wade like old friends they haven't seen for a long time.

From their conversation, Lin Tian can also understand that Wade's popularity in the Heat is obviously very good.

After arriving at the training hall, Wade discovered that his large poster had been removed by the Heat.

Instead, there are large posters of the team's new favorite Hassan Whiteside and Dragic.

This made Wade feel a little uncomfortable. After all, Whiteside was his younger brother before, and now he has become the boss of the team.

Lin Tian is very clear that Whiteside, the boss, cannot be the boss for too long. After all, this is the era when the traditional center is dead.

The contract signed with the Heat this summer is the first big contract of Whiteside's career and the last one.

After the subsequent decline of the center, it will be very difficult for them to get a new contract.

After a day in Miami, at [-]:[-] p.m. the next day, the second game of the regular season of the Lakers was about to start.

The Lakers players were preparing to enter the away locker room, and Wade, who had always been seasoned, was a little nervous.

He has played for the Heat for more than 10 years and is called the soul of the Heat by many fans, but now he appears as an opponent.

Such an identity makes Wade feel weird. He is very worried that these fans who have always only applauded him will boo him tonight.

Lin Tian noticed something was wrong with Wade, took the initiative to walk behind Wade, and patted Wade on the back: "Dwyane! Let's blow them up."

Wade nodded solemnly.

Soon, the players came out.

Wade trotted anxiously from the player tunnel all the way to the court, he was ready to meet boos all over the sky.

But what Wade never expected was that when his figure was captured by the camera and projected on the big screen, the imaginary boos did not appear. The Heat fans who came to the scene gave the warmest applause to Wade.

Many viewers even took the initiative to stand up and applaud Wade. Wade noticed that many fans were even wearing his No. 3 Heat jersey.

On the Heat side, Wade's old teammates Whiteside, Winslow and others also took the initiative to give Wade a high five...

Wade, who is 34 years old this year, is also a little bit embarrassed, and almost didn't shed tears.

Such a situation at home is extremely rare.

When the DJ at the scene introduced Wade, he was also very grand, as if Wade was still a member of the Heat.

You know, Wade was not traded away by the team, but left voluntarily when the contract expired, which is different from passive trading.

Some players who voluntarily leave during the offseason are often treated as traitors when they return to the home court of their old club.

The reason why Wade did not suffer such treatment is because Heat fans know how much Wade has sacrificed for the Heat.

Lin Tian noticed that many Heat fans who came to the home court even pulled up banners scolding Riley.

It can be seen from this point that they are also very dissatisfied with Riley's behavior of picking and searching.

Unfortunately, Riley also appeared in the arena today.

After the director who likes to make trouble gave Wade the camera, he pointed the camera at Riley who was sitting in the stands.

At this time, Riley was chatting with another high-level executive. When he saw the camera, boos came.

He just glanced at the camera blankly.

DJ joked with a smile: "Director and director! I will go to the finance department to get my salary later, so don't come to work tomorrow."

This remark caused the audience to roar with laughter, and the director quickly moved the camera away sensibly, not daring to take a close-up of Riley, after all Riley is the president...

Lin Tian on the court also noticed Riley, which strengthened his determination to beat the Heat today.

After more than half an hour of warm-up training, the game between the Lakers and the Heat officially began.

The starting lineup sent by the Heat at home is: Dion Waiters, Goran Dragic, Justise Winslow, Luke Babbitt, Hassan Whiteside.

The Lakers starting for the away game are: Dellavedova, Wade, Lin Tian, ​​pj Tucker, Howard.
