Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 138 Lakers vs. Rockets

After Yao Ming joined the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers have reached [-] players from the bottom to the Development League.The current lineup of the Lakers is center Li Yifeng, Yao Ming, Andrew Bynum, Robert Thackeray, power forward Paul Gasol, Josh McRoberts, Antawn Jamison, small forward Lin Fengzhe, World Peace, Devin Ebanks, Shooting Guard Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Point Guard Steve Nash, Derek Fisher, Steve Blake.The players sent to the D-League were Darius Morris and Andrew Godlock. (It is not found out whether the transferred players should also be counted in the team roster, which is not counted here.)
The game time is coming soon, the starting players of both sides have already played, Li Yifeng and Omer Asik stand in the middle circle and prepare to jump the ball.With the sound of the referee's whistle, the basketball was also thrown high into the sky.There is no doubt that Li Yifeng won the jump ball with a very obvious advantage.Basketball came quickly to Steve Nash's injury.

The Los Angeles Lakers fell into position and Steve Nash held the ball at the top of the arc to organize the team's offense.Chinese-American point guard Jeremy Lin, who joined the Houston Rockets this season, guards Steve Nash carefully.Objectively speaking, Jeremy Lin's playing attitude is worthy of recognition. He knew the gap between himself and Steve Nash, and did not rashly choose to steal, even if Steve Nash's dribbling had a big flaw, but It is precisely because of this that Jeremy Lin dare not make a move easily.

Steve Nash tried to break through, although he failed to break through Jeremy Lin's defense, but he also opened up a certain amount of space. Steve Nash took the opportunity to pass the basketball to Paul Gaso on the right side of the free throw line you.After receiving the pass, Pau Gasol faked a feint, cheated Patrick Patterson, who was facing him, and took off. As the team's last line of defense, he had to come up to cover Patrick Patterson who was out of position.

Pau Gasol rushed inside to face Omer Asik's defense, took the ball and made a motion to shoot, and after getting most of Omer Asik's attention, he immediately collected the ball and put the basketball with both hands. Pass the basketball behind Omer Asik's arm from under his arm.After receiving a small pass from Paul Gasol, Li Yifeng, who was freed by Beomir Asik due to defending Paul Gasol, directly slammed the basketball into the basket with a violent dunk with both hands.Due to the inertia of the slam dunk, Li Yifeng's body hit Omer Asik's back, and Omer Asik, who was defenseless, was hit by Li Yifeng and took two steps forward.

Omer Asik regained his composure and glared at Li Yifeng who had just scored behind him.However, Li Yifeng didn't even look him in the eye, but after Pau Gasol clapped his hands and celebrated, he ran to his own half to prepare for defense.In this way, Omer Asik was a little annoyed, but he still restrained himself very well, and secretly told himself that the things on the court should be solved with basketball.There was a hint of gunpowder in the game from the start, but can Omer Asik really solve the court problems with basketball?
Jeremy Lin received his teammate's baseline serve, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and looked for Kevin Martin. Now the only star that the Houston Rockets can take is Kevin Martin, and Kevin Martin is also the offensive end of the Houston Rockets. The sharpest knife ever.

Kevin Martin took Kobe Bryant to run, and when passing by Chandler Parsons, Chandler Parsons covered Kevin Martin to block Kobe Bryant.Jeremy Lin's pass was also delivered in time. After receiving the pass, Kevin Martin slightly adjusted and took a shot, but the basketball had just left his hand. Before it reached the highest point, a figure flew over from the side and grabbed the basketball. It was photographed. After successfully blocking the shot, he immediately caught up with the basketball and ran towards the Houston Rockets half court. After running beyond the three-point line, he stopped and jumped suddenly. Throw the basketball before it hits the ground, and the basketball hits the backboard and goes into the basket.The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that the goal counts and three points are scored.

Lin Fengzhe is the one who scores quickly after blocking a shot, and Lin Fengzhe is the only one in the league with this kind of three-point shooting method. No one has shot three-pointers like this in the game.Just now, after Chandler Patterson's eyes wandered for a moment, Lin Fengzhe realized that Chandler Patterson might want to cover for Kevin Martin, so he was on guard against Kevin Martin in advance. When Martin jumped up, Lin Fengzhe had already rushed over, and just as the basketball was out of Kevin Martin's control, he slapped the basketball with his palm.

Tracy McGrady, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, said to Yao Ming who was sitting next to him, "How about it, you little brother, you still have a hand. Using this three-point shooting method as a regular fast-break method has not been so far. It’s just him alone, which requires quite high body balance and softness of touch. This has almost become his signature move, which is even more exciting than my pull-up jump shot. What makes me even more depressed is His pull-up jumper is even better than mine." At the end of the talk, Tracy McGrady curled her lips with envy and hatred on her face.

Yao Ming put his arms around Tracy McGrady's shoulders with a smile and said, "If this kid didn't have two hands, would you still have the current level of competition? I can still sit here and play with you? After all , we really want to thank this kid, at least let us still run on the field, and not the kind of fringe characters."

In the opening three minutes, the Los Angeles Lakers made three of five shots and scored seven points.The Houston Rockets made two of five shots and scored five points, including Kevin Martin who caused a defensive foul by Steve Nash and made one of two free throws.

Houston Rockets starting center Omer Asik is a little speechless right now.From last season's game video and this season's preseason and previous preseason games, it can be seen that Li Yifeng seldom wrestled with opponents at the basket on the offensive end, but today Li Yifeng is attacking as if he had taken the wrong medicine Regardless of whether the basketball will be in his hands or not, he has to compete with Omer Asik at the basket anyway. Even if Omer Asik consciously moves away from Li Yifeng in order to preserve his strength, Li Yifeng will come to the door specially.

Omer Asik only felt that he was extremely tragic now, and thought to himself, "Just now you pretended to be me and didn't say anything. By the way, I didn't offend you, buddy, why do you have to deal with me, I have already hidden I beat you, but you still come here, what's the matter? I'm so easy to bully?"

Of course, Li Yifeng didn't know what Omer Asik was thinking in his heart, let alone that Omer Asik was cursing him in circles in his heart, and he was still aiming at the poor Omer Asik by himself. child.Li Yifeng didn't mean to target Omer Asik by doing this, and he didn't know this guy. What he did was just to let Morey and Alexander know that Omer Asik wanted to be compared with Yao Ming. Not even close.But if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be much different from targeting Omer Asik.

Rockets coach Kevin McHale apparently noticed this too, replacing Omer Asik in the 9th minute of the first quarter.When Omer Asik looked at Kevin McHale with grateful eyes after leaving the field, Kevin McHale's heart skipped a beat, "This guy doesn't like men! I'm normal Man, it seems that I have to be wary of this guy. But I haven't heard of Omer Asik's tendency in that way before?"

This season the Lakers are playing with two complete lineups, but as far as the first half of the game is concerned, it is definitely a set of lineups for one quarter, and the consequence of this is the proportion of substitute points in the team's total points. Increased substantially.Some media and netizens even joked that the Lakers can keep a lineup to rest at home when they play away games.Although it is a joke, it also reflects a very important point from the side, that is, the players of the Los Angeles Lakers are much smaller than the main players of other teams in terms of physical exertion.Although the time for substitutes has increased significantly, they can maintain their competitive state when they are substitutes. Unlike other teams, if the main players are injured, it is difficult for the substitute players to quickly find the state of the game.

When the first quarter ended, the score was fixed at 28 to 19, and the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily led the Houston Rockets by nine points at home.Kobe Bryant alone caused the Rockets' defense a headache, especially after the team lost Sean Battier, a defensive expert. What made it worse was Lin Fengzhe, the X factor, which made the Rockets The team's defensive pressure has increased greatly, and it feels a bit rushed.

"Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, wait for the second quarter, you guys can play, let the Rockets see that the 'MM' combination is still alive." Lakers coach Mike Brown said, " Yao Ming, if you can’t last a game, tell me, don’t force yourself, you still need time to get used to it.”

"Don't worry, Mike, I will greet you when I need to leave the court." Yao Ming said, but his heart was filled with excitement—"NBA, I'm back again."

As for Tracy McGrady, she smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but the confidence on her face was obvious to all.
