The Staples Center that night was crowded.

What is full is not only the attendance rate of the stadium, but also the enthusiasm of Los Angeles fans.

Since Kobe retired, the Lakers have been in a state of decline for too long, and they have not enjoyed this kind of high-profile feeling for too long.

Especially tonight's match against the Dynasty's Pelicans.

Taking down the Pelicans is like a new king overthrowing the old king, which is absolutely exciting and exciting.

And because it was Christmas, rich people in Los Angeles also brought their families to watch the football scene, and the scene was full of Christmas.

Even the single nobles sat together.

The occupancy rate of star hotels in Los Angeles has always remained high every year.

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the court one after another.

The fans also looked at the field one after another.

In the VIP box, Lakers owner Jenny Buss and her ex-husband Phil Jackson also came to the scene.

Her face was covered in red.

After the president's change in the past two years, she felt the decline of the Bass family's voice in the league. Now that the Lakers are reviving, she is also proud of her youth.

If Zhan Du can bring another dynasty to the Lakers, she can really chase after her father, Old Bass, and reappear with Purple Gold Glory.

Oh, right, Jackson beside him.

This summer she had very much hoped that Jackson would come back to coach the Lakers, but she had been rejected by Jackson.

Vogel is doing very well now, and she can also let her ex-husband see how successful she is in her life now.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony entered the scene, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Lakers, Simmons and Middleton are on the line, Durant and James are on the front line, and center Brock Lopez.

The shortest in this lineup is Middleton, who is 2.01 meters tall, with an average height of 206.2, and the real death toll is the top five.

On the Pelicans, Brogden and Tang Tian from the outside, Green and Davis from the front line, and Dedmont from the center.

Stevens put Dedmon back in the lineup in this game, which was obviously to match Lopez.

Davis plays center, and Stevens obviously wants to speed up the pace of the game.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Tang Tian went to the audience to throw magnesium powder before he came on stage, just like usual.

But this time, he was greeted by boos from the sky.

The fans in Los Angeles are loyal and willful, regardless of whether Tang Tian is the first in the league or the first in the NBA.

Now that James is in the Lakers, they are waiting for James to win the championship again and then grab this exclusive action back.

Before the game started, the atmosphere on and off the court was filled with smoke and tension.

Lopez turned the ball back to the Lakers' half and the Pelican Lake Christmas game officially started.

Lopez stood at the top of the circle, Middleton was in the bottom corner, James held the ball at the right three-point line, and Simmons and Durant played without the ball to cooperate.

Vogel gave James the greatest tactical command on the offensive end, and James also used his favorite tactics as the Lakers' conventional tactics.

Durant's running position and Simmons' cutting restricted the Pelicans' defense. James accelerated and broke through Green to the basket, and squeezed Green away and scored the ball.

During the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian broke through and encountered double teams, and he immediately passed the ball to Green.

However, although the Lakers have high lineups on the court, they are very flexible. Coupled with Vogel's mature defensive system, Green was quickly disturbed by assisted defense when receiving the ball.

His first move failed to hit.

James grabbed the defensive long rebound, the Lakers played the fast break directly, and Simmons scored a layup in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian missed Middleton's emergency stop and failed to enter.

Lopez protected the defensive rebound, the Lakers played another fast break, and Durant received James' pass and chased the ball and entered the net with a three-pointer.

7 to 0!

The cheers of Staples Center were shocking, and the Lakers gave the Pelicans a big warning at the beginning!

Inside the VIP box.

Jackson looked at the Lakers' performance with a bitter expression, and seemed to regret Xia Tian's refusal to come back.

When Bass saw Jackson's expression, his face became more rosy.

Tang Tian passed Middleton in the frontcourt and made a quick stop to score for the Pelicans' first record.

But in the next round, Middleton received a pass from Simmons after running, and the three-pointer from the outside also opened.

10 to 2!

The Lakers are completely under the Pelicans' play.

Tang Tian continued to break through in the frontcourt, and the Lakers continued to shrink.

This time it was Brogdon who received the ball.

The Lakers' defense is very fast, but his second-time reception is very fast, and he immediately gave Dedmon at the top of the arc.

A complete open opportunity, Dedmond shot.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high, hitting the frame out.

Except for Tang Tian, ​​the Pelicans' opening game, others performed poorly, but after the season went deeper, Green and Brogdon found their touches one after another.

Only Dedmont never found his true intentions and even lost them.

In this game, Stevens re-entrusted him with important tasks, but he failed to seize the opportunity.

Durant grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Lakers continued to play fast break, and this time it was Middleton who scored a three-pointer.

But he missed the ball and the basketball hit the frame.

But James followed up and grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a second tip-in.

The five major lineups of the Lakers really have advantages in rebounding.

12 to 2!

The Lakers have already taken a double-digit lead after more than four minutes of the game.

This team is even stronger than expected.

In the VIP box, Jenny Bass's face turned red, and it felt like he was really excited.

She foresees that the Lakers would have an advantage in the game, but she didn't expect the advantage to be so big.

Stevens reached out and called for a pause.

After the timeout, Siakam took the field to replace Dedmon.

Although the situation was unfavorable, Stevens was not panicked.

This period of the score has opened up, and the Lakers have been playing fast attacks. His substitution is to keep up with the team's offense and defense speed.

Tang Tian played pick-and-roll with Davis in the frontcourt, assisting Davis to score a goal under the basket.

Back to the defensive end, Siakam defended James on the main defense, and Tang Tian's assisted defense interfered with James' layup.

One offense and one defense, Stevens' adjustment was very timely and in place.

And more importantly, the Lakers' fast break was suppressed.

Brogden's layup in the frontcourt was chased by James, but the Pelicans retreated quickly and did not give the Lakers a quick chance to break.

The Lakers can only play in positions.

This time, Simmons used Lopez to break through with the pick-and-roll, and the ball was handed to James on the weak side.

James also made a three-pointer from the ball!

15 to 4!

The Lakers once again widened the gap to double digits!

The cheers from Staples Center could no longer stop.

In the VIP box, Jenny Bass's face was no longer just excited, but his expression and condition were like he was back in his girlhood.
Chapter completed!
