Before the game, Xie Kai and Kobe exchanged friendly hugs and exchanged greetings. The game hadn't even started yet, and there was no tit-for-tat atmosphere at all.

"Enjoy the game, man!" Kobe said with a smile.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Lakers at home is: center - Andrew Bynum, power forward - Pau Gasol, small forward - Matt Barnes, shooting guard - Kobe Bryant

Bryant, point guard - Derek Fisher.

The Lakers had originally negotiated in December 2011 to exchange Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom for the New Orleans Hornets' Chris Paul. Many authorities said that the deal had been completed and only needed to be finally announced.

What was dramatic was that a few hours later, the league halted the deal.

After learning the news, Odom did not participate in the Lakers' first day of training camp. He went to Lakers general manager Mitch Kubchak that day and had a face-to-face conversation with him, expressing his desire to be traded and leave the team.

idea. In the end, Odom was sent to the Mavericks by the Lakers, and his career in the purple and gold jersey also came to an end.

On December 11, 2011, the Los Angeles Lakers sent Odom and a 2012 second-round pick to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for a trade exception worth $8.9 million and a protected 2012 first-round pick.

After losing the "left-handed magician" Odom, "Bread" Mike Brown asked Ron Artest (renamed Ci Shiping) to play as the 6th man and 3D forward Matt Barnes to play

Starting at small forward, partnering with Kobe Bryant.

Looking at it this way, the overall strength of the Lakers will decline last season. After all, the core rotation players are all veterans, and their potential is almost zero. Their combat effectiveness will definitely not be stronger if they are one year older.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. No team can always be at the top. Whether it is salary space or the personal competitive status of the players, it is impossible to always be in the most suitable state to win the championship.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup for the away game is the same as the previous game. The newly joined power forward Speights will play as a substitute in this game.

The Lakers' insiders are very tall. Although they are no longer "three tall" without Odom, the twin-tower lineup still gives their inside players an advantage.

Since the Grizzlies and Black Bears are not on the court, they no longer have any advantage against the Lakers in the paint and have become a disadvantage. This is one of the reasons why the Lakers, who played at home, were predicted to have a high probability of winning before the game.

The commentators for this game are Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Xiao Jia's sister-in-law and Xiao Shark were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the game was about to begin.

"Jeff, Kane versus Kobe, games like this always attract so much attention!" Mike Breen laughed.

Jeff Van Gundy seemed helpless: "I can't even log in to Twitter, so everyone is talking about it!"

"Your computer is not working. I said Jeff, can't you change it to a better computer?" Mike Brin teased.

"Okay, next time it's my birthday, give me one as a gift!" Jeff Van Gundy climbed up the pole.

"..."

The jump ball started, Bynum gave the ball to Baye, and the game officially started.

The Lakers took possession of the first offensive ball.

The old fish dribbled over slowly.

Kobe takes the position at the elbow, and Xie Kai competes with him for the position. The two of them can be friends or masters and apprentices off the court, but once they are on the court, they are opponents. If you don't use your strength during the fight with your opponent,

Then it means disrespecting the other party.

Kobe caught the ball and turned his back to Xie Kai.

Kobe used his back attack to open up the opponent. He leaned against the opponent, used his footsteps, turned over and leaned back to hit him - the first one hit!

The Lakers lead 2:0!

"As soon as Kobe came up, he was giving low-post moves to the juniors!" Mike Breen laughed.

"I heard that Kane Shay asked Hajim to learn his dream moves last summer. It seems that it was Kobe's suggestion!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Conley dribbled the ball over and organized the offense at the top of the key.

Xie Kaidou came out to catch the ball.

When Xie Kai faced Kobe, his sister-in-law came out to cover him.

With the help of a screen, Xie Kai held the ball to his right hand, made an in-out fake move, then moved to his right hand, jumped near the baseline, got out of the way, and shot a fadeaway jumper - there was one too!

The two sides fought to a 2:2 draw!

"Although Kane did not use a back body, he used a fadeaway jumper. It was really fun to watch the matchup between the two!" Mike Breen laughed.

When the Lakers attack, they can still use their backs to gain position.

Xie went around and didn't give him an easy chance to catch the ball.

Fisher reversed the hook - Xie Kai stole the ball directly!

Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball, and a Sam Goad passed the slow old fish and went straight to the frontcourt!

Ba Ye who came over here hugged Xie Kai fiercely, a tactical foul!

"Derrick's pass was too dangerous. There is no height difference between Kane and Kobe. This kind of ball is easy to be interfered with." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Grizzlies attack here, Gay hits Baye hard and misses the jump shot!

Our sister-in-law took the backboard and gave it to Lao Yu to push forward.

Lao Yu came over with the ball, dribbled to the right wing, and formed a triangle with Kobe and his wife.

The old fish gave the ball to the sister-in-law in the high position.

Facing Cunningham, who was two sizes smaller than her, our sister-in-law faked a shot and then directly held the ball and charged through the middle.

How can Cunningham be defended? The little sister-in-law here is here to help defend!

Our sister-in-law passed the ball to Bynum under the basket, who caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

"This is the power of the triangle offense, right?" Mike Breen asked with a smile.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded: "The original intention of the triangle offense is to create a situation where the core offensive players in the team can comfortably play one-on-one. Once the opponent doubles up and releases the ball, there will immediately be an open space."

"Choose one of two bottles of poison?" Mike Breen laughed.

"That's true! Compared with other offensive methods, the triangle offense makes it difficult for you to attack from a flank. To maintain this offensive system, at least two offensive strengths are needed. Otherwise, the opponent can defend more and let go of a player.

.Moreover, the difficulty of this offensive system lies in the players' own sense of position on the field. They cannot run too heavy or blindly. Relatively speaking, it takes a long time to learn." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"Mayfair has retired, but the Los Angeles Lakers are still playing this game!" Mike Breen said.

"Mayfair has retired, but the Lakers are still playing with these same people! Mike is an excellent defensive coach. As for offense, he often leaves it to assistant coaches." Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile.

The Grizzlies attack here, Xie Kai cuts out without the ball, passes the ball with his back, and faces Kobe.

"Is Kane going to post up Kobe?" Jeff Van Gundy became interested.
Chapter completed!
