NBA Big Devil: I rule the league with defense

The night in Los Angeles tonight is extraordinarily charming!

But the Staples, the Lakers' home court, is full of chills!

Even Kevin Garnett, who has always been willing to open his mouth wide and keep BBing at all kinds of cameras, closed his mouth firmly today, closed his eyes, and recharged his energy, just for the fierce battle tonight. Out of the best condition!

As for Kobe Bryant, he has already fired for a long time at this time!

After winning the championship last season, Penny Anfernee Hardaway had his wish and officially announced his retirement, while Chris Webber, Uncle Mu, and Gary Payton decided to fight for another year!

And the success of the Lakers last season in winning the championship has indeed ignited new hopes for more veterans in the league who are eager to win a championship!

The former Eagles King Sherif Abdur-Rahim joined the Lakers and replaced Anfernee Hardaway as the starting three!

Steve Francis also wanted to catch a ride with the Lakers and win a championship, but unexpectedly he failed the initial physical examination, so he could only regret to miss it!

As for why they don't consider the newly formed Cleveland Cavaliers?

Is it because you don't like it?

Of course not, it's purely because when these old guys started looking for a new home, the Cavaliers hadn't even officially finalized Han Mo's contract. After Han Mo settled the contract, their contract was also signed!

Steve Francis thought that maybe he really got a good opportunity, and he also expressed his desire to join the Cavaliers at that time. However, Francis’ desire was strong enough, but his body management was a bit outrageous. The Cleveland Cavaliers, whose salary had exploded, could not I don't want to waste a not-so-small veteran's basic salary on such an old guy!

Compared with Francis, the unlucky guy, Bunch Wells is very lucky. He thought that he might not be able to find a job in the NBA. Bunch Wells, who was going to look for opportunities overseas, started his career in the Lakers training camp. Before the camp, he was brought under his command with a basic salary!

In addition to Bunch Wells and Sharif Abdur-Rahim, two veteran strikers, the Lakers also stocked up Sasha Vucevic, Luke Walton, Adam Morris and other strikers of different types. , Young people with different technical characteristics!

The reason for hoarding so many strikers naturally points to only one, and that is Han Mo!

Kobe didn't expect that his team's striker group, which is guaranteed in quantity but difficult to guarantee in quality, could restrain Han Mo!

But as long as it can cause him a little bit of difficulty, even if it's just to stop him from clinging to Kobe for a moment, that's enough!

But... can everything really be as beautiful as Kobe imagined?

The starting lineup of both parties:

Cleveland Cavaliers:

PG: Allen Iverson, SG: Shannon Brown, SF: Han Mo, PF: Anderson Varejao, C: Yao Ming!

Los Angeles Lakers:

PG: Gary Payton, SG: Kobe Bryant, SF: Shareef Abdul-Rahim, PF: Kevin Garnett, C: Andrew Bynum!

In this season, the old Uncle Mu officially gave way to the young and quite energetic "Little Shark" Andrew Bynum!

But in the link of the jump ball, the young Bynum is still free!

Although Bynum's jump was high enough, slightly higher than Yao Ming who had added the Dragon Soul BUFF, the difference in height was not enough to make up for the difference in height!

Compared with Yao Ming's [-] feet [-] inches, Bynum, the standardized [-]-footer, is still a small number!

Round [-] of the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Let's go find Han Mo!

Yao Ming kicks off!

Han Mo has already taken off under the basket!

"Oh!"

Smash Huashan!

The scoring counter is flashing!

2: 0!

The Los Angeles Lakers serve normally!

Immediately, the 40-year-old Gary Payton was holding the ball forward while gesturing to the Lakers players!

At this moment, Garnett and Kobe made a two-person off-ball pick-and-roll cooperation!

One sink, one pull!

Garnett bounced outside, Kobe went inside!

The reverse two forced Han Mo to make a defensive choice at this time!

The two points run counter to each other, but they both have the potential to become the main attacker. You can't stop them all!

Obviously, Han Mo still cares more about Kobe at this time!

Then Payton no longer hesitated, and directly distributed the ball to Kevin Garnett!

At this time, it was the young Anderson Varejao who was defending Garnett!

Garnett didn't hesitate at this time, relying on his height and arm length, facing Varejao directly outside the three-point line!

After the basketball is shot, it is precisely guided into the net!

"Shh!"

2: 3!

It all happened so fast that Varejao didn't even have time to react!

"Wow, Kevin Garnett's three-pointer!"

"Kevin Garnett, a guy who averaged less than 25% of his 0.5-pointers per game and less than [-] of his [-]-pointers per game, actually shot three-pointers resolutely in the first round of the game! Who would have thought!"

"I guess this is a big gift that Garnett prepared for Han Mo!"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "This is the offensive adjustment of the Garnett-Kobe duo this season. Although Garnett was able to shoot long two-pointers before, he still has no ability to hit three-pointers. As long as there is no three-point ability, it is difficult to open up the space! Only when Garnett and Kobe can open up space for each other, can Han Mo's almost unsolvable one-to-one defense be avoided to the greatest extent, even if it is still You will make up for it, and you have to run a few more steps!"

Charles Barkley didn't take it seriously: "Garnett has never shot a three-pointer in his life. I don't believe that his three-pointer can really improve by leaps and bounds this season. This is just the first three-pointer. Garnett Te is not Nowitzki, his three-pointers will not always be so accurate!"

Looking back, the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to attack!

Yao Ming easily stuck Bynum inside and reached for the ball!

Bynum, a strong man, was so suffocated in front of Yao Ming's absolute power that his face was blushing and his neck was thick!

"Hold on, Andrew, you're a young man, hold on!" Garnett cheered from the sidelines.

Bynum gave Garnett a hard look: "Your grandson won't stand up, you'll be making sarcastic remarks about knitting by the side!"

Iverson on the ball!

Yao Ming received the ball and turned around halfway, and put the ball firmly into the basket!

At this time, Bynum was put down, and Bynum was panting heavily, with a burning pain in his chest!

And Kevin Garnett was still rambling on and on: "Andrew, you just had to work hard on your legs, and you can't relax your legs. Once you loosen your legs, you will lose your positional advantage! You are so You are young, you have to fight with him!"

Andrew Bynum couldn't bear it anymore: "Kevin, you will defend Yao Ming in the next round, and I can also go out and shoot three-pointers, okay?"

Garnett was at a loss for words, shook his head and ran away with a gesture of hatred, "What's wrong with the young people now, they refuse to absorb the experience of their predecessors at all!"
