Chapter 606 [Victory in the preseason, against the Blazers]

Many reporters were present at the Lakers media day, and some people asked tricky questions, such as how many balls Kobe will get in the new season, and what are the Lakers' main tactics?

A female reporter questioned that Kobe, who is only 30 years old, is getting old and his state has declined. In the new season, it should be more beneficial for the team to share the ball like the Celtics Big Three.

Kobe was very angry, but there was nothing wrong with the reporter's words, because the Celtics' flag was that the veterans teamed up to win the championship, not the peak team. Pierce was a "veteran" who just turned 30 last year, and he played the emotional card... Those who didn't know thought he was a 30-year-old with a 60-year-old heart.

The Big Three of the Green Army are indeed very selfless. During the regular season, Garnett, who took the most shots in the team, averaged only 13.9 shots per game, Pierce 13.7 shots, and Ray Allen 13.5 shots.How could Kobe Bryant do such a thing?

Others took Kobe's performance in the Olympics as an example, believing that he was not suitable for fast-paced offense, which directly angered Kobe. He did not answer the question and gave the reporter a death stare.

At this time, Kobe has made up his mind that he will compete for the regular season scoring title in the new season and increase his shots to prove that he is still at his peak.

Yang Rui was perfunctory in the face of reporters' questions. He was preparing to play soy sauce in the regular season. This year's vacation was too short.

Serenity, the superyacht built by Thomas Bentley, was launched for the first time last month, followed by a ten-day maiden voyage by engineers and technicians.

The yacht is worth more than 8 million euros and is produced by Lurssen Yachting Company of Germany. It is about 170 meters long, 21.5 meters wide, and has a displacement of 13000 tons. Its turbocharged engine power is as high as 2 horsepower.

At Thomas's request, the yacht was designed to be very trendy, and the "Tranquility" was taken from his favorite movie "Out of Serenity".

The yacht has stage, exhibition hall, 3 restaurants, 2 kitchens, aquarium, disco, bath, swimming pool, gymnasium with sauna, steam room.The rooms on the yacht can accommodate 100 guests and 70 crew members.

There are two helipads and hangars built on the yacht, which can dock two helicopters.There are 4 small sightseeing boats to pick up and drop off guests, as well as 20 jet skis and an escape submarine. Submarines can enter and exit freely through the special hatch at the bottom of the yacht, allowing people to leave without knowing it. .

Thomas's own introduction is: Except for Transformers and missiles, this ship has everything.

Yang Rui felt very depressed when he thought that Thomas would take a group of people to sea soon, but he would lead the team by plane to and from home and away games. He had never lived on such a luxurious ship.

After a few days of training, the preseason began.

Yao Ming and Kobe will not play in the preseason, and it has been announced before the start of the game.

Iguodala has become the first core of the Lakers. Yang Rui tried to make him play as a point forward, with two inside side screens, and the guard moved to catch and shoot, or catch the ball and break inside.

Even if the "drug combination" is not there, the Lakers can balance offense and defense.Lamar Odom and Millsap are good at defending pick-and-rolls, and can protect rebounds, and they can pull off shots on offense.

After Yang Rui selected Millsap, he asked him to practice three-pointers, increase his shooting range, shoot in the middle and on both sides, and learn from Rasheed Wallace.Millsap had a certain shooting ability when he was in college, and he improved quickly. Now the three-pointer is not accurate enough, and the mid-range shot is already very sure.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Millsap was only a mid-range shooter under Jerry Sloan, and he started practicing three-pointers 10 years later.

The substitute DJ White became a big surprise in the preseason. He has the strength to resist people. The offense mainly relies on mid-range shots, accounting for more than 60% of the proportion. He is very accurate, and he can shoot from all positions. It can also open up space and help teammates create breakthrough opportunities.

White's jaw injury has long been healed, but Yang Rui still gave him some protection. He was not required to attack in the low position. Landry's air-cut tasks were all for Landry, and he only needed to cover and make mid-range shots.

Yang Rui is interested in cultivating White, because White was a loser in his previous life. If he plays a role in the Lakers this season, Yang Rui will have a great sense of accomplishment.

His fate may change as a result, relying on his good shooting ability and training his support, he may be a defensively weakened version of Millsap.

Brooks is also the key target of training. This year, he is more daring to attack with the ball, and he and Louis Williams have made a sharp breakthrough.

However, Daniel Gibson is still the starting point guard candidate, because he is good at 44-pointers. Last season, he shot [-]% and could hit two goals in a game.

The Lakers performed amazingly in the preseason. The "drug-addicting combination" won all 7 games without playing, including the Celtics.Garnett's playing time was relatively short, and the Green Army failed to withstand the impact of the Lakers' double guards. Perkins and "big baby" Davis partnered, and the pick-and-roll change was too slow.

Brooks and Lu Wei were defensive scumbags. Not many people could stop them when they rushed. Not only were they fast, they could also shoot.Yang Rui plans to reuse them in the regular season. As long as the opponent shoots from the outside, they can play them.

In the first official strength list of the NBA, the Lakers ranked first, surpassing the Celtics who won the championship last season.

Experts generally believe that the Lakers are slightly better than the Green Army. The Green Army won the championship last season and Yao Ming's absence has a lot to do.If Yao Ming can play, it will be difficult for them to prevent the pick-and-roll cooperation of the "drug combination".

Garnett and Pierce, the two giants of the Green Army, were dissatisfied with being badly viewed by the media. They said in an interview that they would definitely defend their title this season and were confident of defeating the Lakers and any team.

As the third giant, Ray Allen didn't say a word, and he didn't seem to be united enough.The Greens locker room also has problems. Ray Allen is not gregarious and often does not attend team parties, not even championship parties.He likes to do his own thing, that's his way of life.

On October 10, the NBA arranged two openers, the Celtics VS Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers VS Lakers. Due to the time difference, the game in Los Angeles started four hours later.

The two top players in the East staged a defensive battle. The offensive and defensive rhythm was slow, lacking vitality, and the ratings were not high. The Cavaliers lost 85-90 away.

詹姆斯21投9中，三分球4中0，罚球8中4，只得22分7篮板6助攻2抢断。

Pierce made 19 of 10 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 5 free throws, and scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.James once said in an interview that Pierce is his worst enemy. "Truth" does have the ability to suppress the "little emperor", and he has technology to make up for his lack of health.

Rondo became the starting point guard, played 30 minutes, made 5 of 4 shots, 10 of 6 free throws, and scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.The advantages of Rondo are good defense, fast speed, and sharp breakthrough. Because of his existence, the Green Army is reluctant to renew West with a high salary.

The western game starts, CCTV5 live broadcast.

Zhang Lili said: "Last season, because of the lack of Yao Ming, the Lakers unfortunately failed to win four consecutive championships, but Yang Rui proved himself in the Olympics. Under his leadership, the Dream Eight Team is unstoppable. The nickname of Pope is really not blown out. of."

Yu Jia said: "The Blazers are a team with great potential. Roy's style of play is similar to Kobe's. He averaged 19.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game last season and was successfully selected as an All-Star. Against the Lakers at home in the regular season, Luo Iraq and Kobe scored 42 points and 6 assists to lead the team to victory. The matchup between the two must be very exciting, which is why the league arranged for them to play the opener."

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "However, I guess the Blazers players are under a lot of pressure. They won last season because of Yao Ming's absence. Yao Ming is back today, which will be a test for Qiaojin Noah."
