Standing pretty old

Chapter 687

米国时间2009年10月27日，NBA2009-2010赛季的常规赛正式打响。

There will be 4 regular season games on this day, the most eye-catching of which must be the defending champion Atlanta Hawks VS Purple and Gold Army Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers are the first team to complete a dynasty in the first decade of the 21st century, and they certainly don't want to share this honor with others.

This summer, the Lakers poached Ron Artest, who was already on the downhill road, from the free market with a four-year contract of 4 million yuan. Coincidentally, Trevor Ariza of the Lakers So he went to the Houston Rockets.

I don't know if there is a private deal between them. Anyway, the Lakers' defensive strength on the wing is indeed increasing. After all, Artest's defensive aggressiveness is still better than Ariza.

Join him if you can't beat him. In fact, Artest first offered an olive branch to the Atlanta Hawks this summer.

However, Billy Knight and Er Niu were not satisfied with Artest's long-range shooting ability, and his asking price was indeed a bit higher, so Artest failed to embrace the thigh of the defending champion in the end.

At this time, the Lakers expressed a strong interest in Artest, so Artest resolutely flew to the City of Angels and decided to join forces with Kobe to compete for the championship.

The Lakers have been strengthened, but the Hawks' trade this summer is also brilliant, especially the team's four marginal players in exchange for Jamal Crawford's magic stroke, which made Billy Knight famous all at once.

Two years ago, an idiot who would only hoard swingers has become the league's top general manager.

The main rotation lineup for 73 wins remains unchanged, and with the addition of Crawford, who could have been the No. [-] scorer in the Warriors, as the sixth man, the overall strength of the Hawks is even more terrifying compared to last season.

Philips Center in Atlanta.

Tonight, the arena was packed early, Georgia basketball fans are happy.

After 40 years of waiting (50 years in team history), they ushered in two consecutive NBA championships at once, and they are about to hit the third.

After the pad performance, the stadium ushered in the first wave of climax. According to the usual practice, they will receive last season's championship ring afterwards.

Ruan Erniu, as the leader, was the first to get his own ring, and then held a microphone on the spot, while giving out his teammates' achievements, while presenting their championship rings.

This is not the first time Erniu has done this job, and he has always done it quite well.

On the other side of the court, the camera lens occasionally pans over Kobe Bryant.

The eyes of the black mamba are particularly cold. In someone else's home court, watching the opponent receive the championship ring, this is a torment for Kobe Bryant, who is extremely competitive.

Fortunately, the ceremony is over soon, and the game time is coming.

Tonight, the Lakers' starting lineup:
C Andre Bynum

PF Lamar Odom

SF Ron Artest
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Derek Fisher

Power forward Pau Gasol was out due to injury, so they sent Omdo to the starting power forward position.

As for the Hawks:
C Ruan Erniu

PF Josh Smith

SF John Salmons
SG Joe Johnson

PG Mike Bibby
Woodson eventually used the veteran Bibby in the first game of the regular season. Woodson is still a conservative coach at heart.

Even though Dragic's confrontational ability has made great progress compared to last season, and in daily training, his mobility has also achieved full blown Bibby, Woodson still believes in Bibby who is more experienced in the first position .

This also echoes Woodson's usual style. After all, a guy like Er Niu with extremely perverted athletic talent is really a once-in-a-century existence.

But the century-old genius lost to Bynum in today's jump ball session.

Bynum, dubbed Anzhu (literal translation of Andrew's English pronunciation) by Tianchao fans, jumped high, one step ahead, and allocated the ball to Odom.

Odom did not choose to pass the ball, but directly took the ball across the half court. When the left-handed magician is not distracted, he is a superstar.

Kobe Bryant wanted the ball from the horns, and Salmons was behind him.

Tonight, both the Eagles and the Lakers adopted a dislocation defensive strategy at the 2nd and 3rd positions, allowing Salmon to defend Kobe and Artest to engage with Jonson, so that the two teams SG can better release their offensive firepower in the game.

Kobe turned his back to the basket, swayed his shoulders and took a cross step, used the rhythm to pass Salmons, and faced the eclipse's supplementary defense, he forced his way to the basket.

"boom!"

A very tough shot, the lunar eclipse directly knocked Kobe out of the baseline, but the basketball thrown by Kobe failed to touch the basket.

"beep!"

The referee whistled, the eclipse fouled, and Kobe executed a free throw.

The Black Mamba standing at the free throw line had fire in his eyes, and Er Niu grinned at the corner of his mouth standing on the baseline. People in China also noticed Kobe's desire for this victory, but Er Niu was not worried.

This is how the man holding two championship rings HOLD.

You can win if you want to?How can it be so simple?
Bryant made two free throws and opened the scoring for the Lakers.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Er Niu directly pulled the inside line and stood at a position 45 degrees outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot.

"brush!"

With a three-pointer, the Eagles instantly overtook the score.

Kobe took the baseline ball from Odom and dribbled the ball directly across the half court.

He leaned on Salmons with his back for two steps, and then directly rushed to the basket with the ball. This time he got a chance to directly match Ruan Erniu.

"boom!"

This is a confrontation between the newly promoted NBA No.1 and the suspected former NBA No.1.

Under the influence of Er Niu, Kobe missed the shot, but the astute Mamba grabbed the second rebound directly under the basket, and then directly leaned back at a negative angle and made a beautiful shot~~
"brush!"

Mamba scored 4 points in the opening game.

The Hawks had the ball, Er Niu stepped up again to receive the basketball, and Bynum, who had been shot, had to step up to defend.

Er Niu didn't wait for him to stabilize his defensive position, lowered his center of gravity, broke through An Zhu without any fancy dribbles, and reached the penalty area.

Odom immediately dropped the lunar eclipse to defend, Erniu didn't mean to forcefully complete the dunk, he jumped lightly, and threw the basketball in his hand...

"boom!"

Lunar Eclipse, who was unguarded, gained too much shot space. Of course, he would not waste such a beautiful assist from Er Niu.

After Lunar Eclipse fully stretched his body in the air, he lifted the basketball from the back of his head, then took a violent slam dunk with both arms, and smashed the ball hard into the basket.

The Eagles' bombing group has always been one of the most beautiful scenery in the league.

Since joining Ruan Erniu, a dual-purpose bomber and supply aircraft, their ground air strike capability has been at the forefront of the alliance all year round.

Er Niu and Kobe completed each other's explosions, but the Lakers did not have others to stand up.

On the offensive end of the Lakers, Bynum asked for the ball in the low post, and Odom made a through pass in the high post and sent the ball to Anzhu.

Leaning on the back, pushing the opponent close to the body, taking off, and raising the hook in a high-strike style.

"brush!"

Anzhu completed a hook shot against Ruan Erniu, and this was not his only performance in the first quarter.

Although these attacks are not enough to actually complete the suppression of the Great Demon King of the Celestial Dynasty, they are also enough to consume Er Niu's energy on the defensive end to a certain extent.

Just looking at Anzhu's low-post footsteps, you know that Bynum this season has made great progress compared with last season. During the time when Gasol is absent, he is the Lakers' strongest inside offensive point.
