The Lakers and the 76ers are a peak showdown between two sons of Philadelphia. Fans entered the Vachovia Center Stadium early and took the seats. The team's core Iverson's highlights of this season's exciting goals this season were displayed on the big screen to warm up the game.

Thanks to Ke Yan's popularity in China, CCTV also changed the original live broadcast plan of the Rockets in this game and changed the focus battle. Zhang Heli introduced: "Today I bring you a focus opening game, with the 76ers playing against the Lakers at home. This is also the contest between the two strongest outside scorers in the 1996 draft, Iverson and Kobe. Currently, the two are ranked in the top two in the scoring list."

As the Lakers' offensive choice this season, Kobe has taken advantage of the attack. Data shows that Kobe occupies 27.6% of the Lakers' ball rights and averages 28.7 points per game, both of which rank second in the league.

The number one position is the same name. Allen Iverson, the answer is that this season, 31.3% of the ball rights of the 76ers, and averaged 30.7 points per game. However, for the fans and coaching staff of the 76ers, this is something that is accustomed to.

Can this show that Kobe is not as good as Iverson's outside scorer? Not necessarily. What Iverson criticized most is his offensive efficiency. Many people believe that his data is accumulated by ball rights and shooting rights. The data is indeed the case. His shooting percentage is 42%, his three-point shooting percentage is only 30%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 83%.

Iverson's ability is of course the top level in the league. It is also a skill to be able to digest so much ball rights and shooters, but the word "inefficiency" in the data cannot be washed!

After warming up the shooting, the coaches of both sides finally gave a few words of advice, mainly to remind their core members to be weak, and the players of both sides stood on the court.

Five Lakers: Atkins, Kobe, Butler, Odom, Anderson.

Five of 76ers: Iverson, Korver, Iguodala, Kenny Thomas, and Dalemport.

Anderson won the jump ball and the game officially began.

Butler passed the ball to Odom who pulled out of the periphery, and then ran to the right bottom corner. Atkins was 70 degrees on the right, Kobe and Anderson were on the left, all pulled open.

Odom held the ball frame in the middle, and Kenny Thomas let him go two steps away.

Odom took advantage of the change in dribbling rhythm and broke through to the inside, and suddenly stopped and jumped to shoot. Kenny Thomas hurried forward to interfere. He didn't have time to jump and block, but just reached out and failed to interfere with Odom's attack. Odom made a shot.

Iverson attacked, and drifted sharply in front of the body over Atkins' defense. Odom made up for defense, and Atkins chased for defense, forming a double-team against Iverson.

Iverson's first reaction after facing a pinch shot was never to pass the ball. He pulled out through his skillful dribble, and suddenly a rhythm changed, and the backward jump shot missed. Dalemport won the rebound, and the first move was blocked by Anderson and slapped out of the baseline.

The beautiful blocks made the Lakers' morale high. The ball was sent out, and everyone followed their opponents. Kobe and Atkins attacked Iverson and stuck his breakthrough line. Iverson passed the ball to Korver, and then moved to Iguodala. The latter missed the shot and Odom took the rebound.

Odom dribbled the ball to the frontcourt at the first time, and played offense and defense conversion. The five players on the Lakers were top-notch in their respective positions, and they had a strong awareness of offense and defense conversion at the first time after grabbing the rebound. If the opponent's defensive end was not disciplined enough, it would be easy to form more and less.

Neither Dalemport nor Kenny Thomas ran back. Odom attracted a pincer attack and passed the ball to Kobe, who glided and dunked, 4-0.

With the 76ers attacking, Iverson took to the frontcourt and broke through with Kenny Smith, pressing the Lakers' inside to shrink the penalty area and passing the ball to Iguodala. The latter leaned against Butler and completed hand-hand cooperation with Iverson who was running. The latter received the ball and made a jump shot, hitting a 4-2 shot under interference.

Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kobe. Kobe took the ball to the right, and Iguodala immediately posted it. Kobe did not wait for Iguodala to stand firm and quickly went horizontally to the left. Iguodala did not dare to neglect and continued to stick closely.

Feeling Kobe's sudden acceleration, Iguodala kept up with the speed.

Kobe suddenly paused, and his right hand holding the ball actually waved behind him. He dribbled the ball behind him in an instant, and his body had already adjusted his direction and accelerated to the left, throwing Iguodala faster.

The basketball passed through Kobe's fingertips, and Iguodala just took a step slower and looked back at the basket.

"Brush!" (6:2)

Hollow into the net! Kobe held his right hand tightly and waved it on his chest with great force.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson forced his way into the Lakers' penalty area after pick-and-roll, Kobe interfered in front of him, and Iverson's turn and jump shot missed.

Intimidated by the Lakers' counterattack advance, the 76ers did not base themselves on the frontcourt rebounds and returned to defense in time.

Atkins took him to the frontcourt and pretended to give Kobe a shot, but suddenly he hit Iverson on the right. He made a move suddenly. Iverson didn't realize it, but unfortunately he failed to hit it.

On the sidelines, Ke Yan praised and applauded Atkins's move. He liked this kind of agile attack.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson broke through and encountered a double team. This time the answer chose to pass the ball, but the Lakers' assisted defense rotation was very good. The 76ers failed to find an open position after several passes. Korver's top jump shot missed the basket, and the rebound was protected by Anderson. After being grabbed by the undersea man Dalemport at the beginning, the combination of Anderson and Odom protected the rebound for several consecutive rounds.

The work done on the defensive end was well done, and Odom was distracted again on the offensive end. He lost the ball in the penalty area for three seconds.

The 76ers attacked, Korver received the ball from the side and made a three-pointer, 6-5.

Atkins dribbled through half the court, Kobe relied on Iguodala to catch the ball, turned to the baseline, and forced a shot from the right side, hit a difficult shot, 8-5.

Compared to Iverson's big shots of the ball, playing four people by one person, Kobe has a little more contact with his teammates, and he values ​​the right to take action more, but he still makes his teammates feel a little involved.

Iverson broke through and passed the ball, and Korver took the ball from the side. This time Butler chased him tightly after covering the screen. The interference was successful, and Korver missed the shot.

In the Lakers positional battle, Kobe got rid of Iguodala's defense around the cover. He received a pass from Atkins and missed a three-pointer from the outside. Anderson rushed to grab the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball in time. Kobe beat Iguodala one-on-one and threw out half of his body and jumped into the jump shot.

The backcourt rebound was again obtained by Dalemport, and the Haitian passed it to the frontcourt for a long time. Iverson showed his true nature as the King of Speed ​​and had already completed it. He passed Atkins with a fake move, jumped with both feet, and dunked with his right hand. 8:7.

After the opening, Kobe and Iverson's touch was average, which affected the entire team's offense, which was more lively and less exciting. After halfway through the first quarter, the score was 13:12, and the Lakers fell one point behind and entered the official timeout.
Chapter completed!
