Chapter 209

The regular season of the NBA 2013-2014 season officially opened on October 30, but the first regular season game of the Los Angeles Lakers was on the first day of November, when they played away against the Houston Rockets.

This game was broadcast live by ESPN across the United States. According to the starting roster given by the Los Angeles Lakers before the game, Lin Fengzhe had no prospects in the previous preseason games, so in order to allow Lin Fengzhe to have time to find a better fit for the game During the game, Phil Jackson temporarily placed Lin Fengzhe on the bench.

The Houston Rockets' starting lineup includes center Omer Asik, power forward Patrick Patterson, small forward Chandler Parsons, shooting guard James Harden, and point guard Jeremy Lin.Omer Asik, James Harden and Jeremy Lin, who joined the Houston Rockets last season, were all substitute players for other teams before, and Jeremy Lin once set off a whirlwind.Both Omer Asik and James Harden got room to play after joining the Houston Rockets. In the second half of last season, Omer Asik not only ensured his defensive ability, but also gave him offensive capabilities. The team's help is also increasing. James Harden, as the team's first attack point, has perfectly released his personal scoring ability.Although Jeremy Lin's performance at the beginning of last season was unsatisfactory, Jeremy Lin, who found the feeling of the game, used practical actions to tell the Rockets management that there was nothing wrong with choosing him.

The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers includes center Li Yifeng, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Metta World Peace, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Steve Nash.Steve Nash, who joined the Los Angeles Lakers last season by signing first and then changing, finally succeeded in winning the championship he dreamed of. Although he missed the title of the most valuable player in the finals, he was able to win the championship. That's enough for him.

Li Yifeng and Omer Asik jumped the ball in the middle circle to win and patted the basketball to Steve Nash.The current Los Angeles Lakers have developed a habit. When jumping the ball, as long as Li Yifeng takes off, everyone except Steve Nash will run to the opponent's half court. They have sufficient strength for Li Yifeng's jumping ability. trust.

Steve Nash dribbles up the frontcourt, breaks through with Pau Gasol on a pick-and-roll, then hits the pass to pass the ball behind Jeremy Lin and Chandler Parsons in help defense Pass the basketball to Li Yifeng in the penalty area.After receiving the basketball, Li Yifeng dribbled the basketball, leaned back and pushed away Omer Asik, then turned around and dunked with one hand, scoring the first score for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Omer Asik still couldn't compare to Li Yifeng in terms of strength. Just now Li Yifeng knocked him away with just one effort. Of course, this was also related to Steve Nash's sudden pass.

Jeremy Lin drove the ball into the frontcourt and faced Steve Nash's defense one-on-one.Jeremy Lin and Steve Nash have a bit of similarity. They are not the kind of players with strong physical confrontation. .However, one of Jeremy Lin's own advantages is also obvious. He can maintain his peak speed for a long time. Although the absolute speed is not the fastest in the league, his long-lasting advantage in breakthroughs is obvious. .

After Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball in the crotch, he successfully broke through Steve Nash's defense by changing direction and accelerated the start. Facing Ci Shiping who stepped forward to help defend, he gave the basketball to Chandler Parker who was at a 45-degree position on the left. Sens, although Pau Gasol has run to defend, is still a step slow, Chandler Parsons throws the basketball before Pau Gasol's block arrives, and the basketball is hollow into the net.

It was a three-pointer, and the Houston Rockets went ahead by one.

The offense of the Los Angeles Lakers is very clear, focusing on the inside, either Li Yifeng singles Omer Asik under the basket or Pau Gasol's offense after a high pick-and-roll.Most of the scores of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first quarter were scored by the cooperation between Steve Nash, Pau Gasol and Li Yifeng. Lenter didn't take a single shot.Then Josh McRoberts and Lin Fengzhe, who came off the bench, scored two and three points respectively.

At the end of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily lead by seven points 29 to 22 away.The first scoring point of the Houston Rockets, James Harden, did not feel well under the defense of Kobe Bryant. In the first quarter, he missed one of seven shots and only relied on free throws to score four points.

In the second quarter of the game, Lin Fengzhe started a frenzy of scoring points as soon as he came on the bench with the substitute, turned into a point forward, assisted his teammates to score one after another, played a wave of [-]-[-] offensive, and pulled the point difference to [-] points.The Houston Rockets' gradual even Mike Hale immediately handed in a timeout to reorganize the team's defense.

After the timeout, the Houston Rockets have strengthened their defense, but on the offensive end they can only rely on mid-range shots to score, and it is difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers to make an impact inside.In order to narrow the score gap, head coach Mike Hale sent the starting lineup to the court early, which made the form on the court really start to improve, and narrowed the point difference to less than ten miles before halftime.And the Los Angeles Lakers just traded Robert Thackeray and Devin Ebanks for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

With the whistle at the end of halftime, the score was fixed at 51 to 48, and the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily led by three points away.Li Yifeng scored the most points in the first half of the Los Angeles Lakers. He scored [-] points in one quarter, made all eight shots, and made [-]% shooting. He also had seven rebounds.

Lakers The purpose of the team's training is too obvious, but it doesn't respect the opponent very much." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"The Lakers have the capital to start training at this time, but I don't know if the Houston Rockets can seize the opportunity of training to tie the score as soon as possible and then widen the point difference as much as possible. In this case, they may not It's an ugly loss." Mike Breen gave the Houston Rockets a death sentence with halftime left in the game.

Robert Thackeray, who started the game in the second half, played for more than seven minutes. On the offensive end, although he only made one of the three hook shots at the basket, he made all two mid-range shots above the free throw line. On the defensive end, he was very active in defending Omer Asik, and his footwork was more flexible than Omer Asik, so that Omer Asik only scored four points under his defense, and at the same time He also gave the other party a big hat.

Darius Morris played mainly on the offensive end. He did not have an advantage against James Harden on the defensive end. Instead, he was fouled twice by James Harden, one of which was even fouled by James Harden. Achieved two plus one.Darius Morris took a total of four shots in the third quarter, all three-point shots from the outside, hit three goals and scored nine points.

The Houston Rockets seized this period of time and fired frequently from the outside. Jeremy Lin, James Harden, and Chandler Parsons all made three-pointers, especially James Harden caught the Lakers' inside defense The timing of the decline in ability broke through the inside of the Lakers one after another and caused damage. Three of Robert Thackeray's four fouls were committed on him.

With more than three minutes left in the third quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers replaced the entire main lineup. At this time, the Houston Rockets at home have already led them by as much as [-] points. This is what the Houston Rockets achieved in this game biggest advantage.

After the personnel rotation, the defense of the Los Angeles Lakers has obviously improved to more than one level. At the same time, Kobe Bryant has also started his own offensive mode. Kobe Bryant still has not won a single game at the current position. It fits his personality, not to mention that the team is still behind by a large score at this time.

After playing, Kobe Bryant scored two three-pointers from the outside, and then caused Patrick Patterson's defensive foul to become two plus one when he broke through for a layup, which was less than one and a half minutes Time Kobe Bryant scored nine points in a row, and his efficiency was frightening.

At the end of the third quarter, the explosion of the Los Angeles Lakers' main force, especially Kobe Bryant, reduced the Houston Rockets' fourteen-point advantage to two points in the blink of an eye.The Los Angeles Lakers used actions to tell the Rockets what it means to be strong, as long as I want to chase points, I can chase them back at any time!
However, the Los Angeles Lakers were a little overwhelmed with joy and sorrow. When more than three minutes into the last quarter, Pau Gasol fell to the ground while fighting for a rebound, and the game was temporarily suspended.After replaying the video, it was clear that Pau Gasol's center of gravity was not stable when he landed, and his ankle was twisted.Then he was helped into the locker room by the team doctor.
