"beep!"

After the referee blew the whistle at the start of the game between the two sides, Capela and Bynum jumped up and the game between the two sides officially started!

Bynum looked particularly excited when he returned to the Lakers. Before Capela, he pushed the ball back to the Lakers' half.

The Lakers got the chance to take the lead in attacking.

Tang Shuai arrived at the frontcourt with the ball and transported the ball outside the three-point line. He did not rush to call his teammates to run. After observing the Rockets' defense for about 3 seconds, he made a tactical gesture to Barnes and Noel.

Seeing Tang Shuai's gesture, Noel quickly raised it to make a pick-and-roll for Batum. Batum took advantage of the pick-and-roll and walked out, and Tang Shuai's pass followed.

Batum took the ball and sent the ball into the basket steadily without receiving any interference.

The Lakers' first offense was finished!

Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists on the sidelines, which was a very good start.

However, the Rockets players did not seem to be affected much. After Beverly took the ball to the frontcourt, he gave Harden. Harden broke through directly and passed the ball to Anderson in the bottom corner. Anderson took the knife and got a steadily three-pointer after a "swish".

Defense is obviously not what this Rockets are good at. This can be seen clearly in the Lakers' performance in the last round. A simple pick-and-roll tactic gives an opportunity, but compared to defense, offense is the key to the team's current results.

The Lakers' next attack was like a retreat, but Batum's shot bounced out of the box, and Capela grabbed the rebound and gave it to Gordon. Gordon took the ball and advanced quickly. After reaching the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Harden who followed him. Harden scored a layup directly.

The entire fast break only lasted more than 5 seconds in total, which was quite as stylish as the Suns that were popular in the league.

In the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai chose to do it himself, and called Noel to a pick-and-roll, and faced Harden. He shook beautifully and then got rid of the layup. The movement was done in one go. Unfortunately, his luck was a little worse, and the basketball rolled around the frame and slipped out.

The Rockets fought back again, Harden threw the ball to Gordon in the frontcourt, Gordon gave Anderson in the fast break to the three-point line, and Anderson took another three-pointer.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Anderson's three-pointer fell into the pocket again.

8 to 2!

The Rockets played very strongly at the opening game.

The fans at Staples Center were in an uproar. Although they knew that the Lakers, which had nine people, would find it difficult to win the game tonight, it was obviously no one expected that the Rockets would have such a situation.

Tang Shuai slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, but still did not rush to call his teammates to run.

The so-called downward rhythm in basketball games is to fight positional battles and success rate. If you fall behind, you are eager to win points and try to catch up, which will hit the opponent's thoughts.

After observing the defense for a while, he signaled Stephenson to come to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

After giving the ball out, he ran to the right wing and made a pick-and-roll with Noel. After the ball was dismantled, the defender changed to Harden. He reached out and signaled Stephenson to give the ball.

Stephenson had a purple pass bag and quickly gave the ball over.

Tang Shuai beat Harden twice, then suddenly turned around and passed Harden directly, and took the opportunity to take action.

"Swish!"

Two points fell steadily.

To suppress the pace and ensure success rate, playing Harden alone is obviously a good choice.

After winning one goal, the Rockets had no chance to fight back like they did before.

When the Rockets' offense, Beverly signaled his teammates to play tactics after arriving in the frontcourt. Gordon and Harden inserted from the bottom corners of both sides. After the intersection at the basket, they took advantage of Capela and Anderson's pick-and-roll. At the same time, Anderson went down to the bottom corner after the pick-and-roll.

Although the defense is poor, it has to be said that D'Antoni does have a good offense.

Beverly saw the opportunity to give the ball to Harden who ran out. After Harden received the ball, he didn't stop and shook his hand to Anderson who was in the bottom corner.

It was almost another open opportunity, and Anderson made a third three-pointer in this quarter.

"Bang!"

Although Anderson's three-pointer was stable, he could not make a perfect shot. This time, the three-pointer was a little different than the frame, and the rebound was grabbed by Noel, who was snatched.

Noel shook his hand and gave it to Tang Shuai. Tang Shuai did not push forward as quickly as the previous few games, but continued to signal his teammates to play with the rhythm.

When he advanced to the frontcourt, he continued to play singles like Harden in the last round.

This time the Rockets chose to double-team, and Anderson, who was inside, came here immediately.

Tang Shuai had no intention of passing the ball. He hit Harden and suddenly stuffed the ball backwards.

This seemed like a back-playing move to others. Unexpectedly, Tang Shuai had already passed the ball before Anderson assisted in defense.

There was cheering at the scene.

Bynum received the ball at the basket and picked it up and made a basket.

Although his athletic ability has decreased almost due to knee injury, after staying with the Lakers for so long, his skills seem to have been slowly recovered.

After scoring the goal, Bynum seemed very excited and turned around and matted Tang Shuai.

However, at this time, after the high-fives with Bynum, Tang Shuai loudly reminded his teammates to pay attention to the guardian defense.

The pace is reduced and the success rate is increased, but if you can't hold on, it will be useless in the end. After all, there are only 9 people in total. If they don't establish some advantages in the first half, it will become very, very difficult to play in the second half.

Tang Shuai's reminder still worked. Although it was not immediately effective, the players' defense focus increased significantly.

The Rockets played another cross pick-and-roll cooperation, and Beverly passed the ball to Harden. However, this time, Batum's assisted defense was in place in time and did not give Harden the opportunity to attack directly.

Harden held the ball frame and tried to break through Batum. After two failed, he passed the ball to Gordon on the outside.

Gordon played against Stephenson and broke through to the basket quickly, but was blocked by Bynum. His layup angle was much biased and the rebound was snatched by Noel on the other side.

"Beautiful!" Xiao waved his fist hard on the sidelines.

Breaking the Rockets' cooperation and getting them into a single fight is the best way to defend a team like the Rockets.

After Noel grabbed the rebound, he gave Tang Shuai. Tang Shuai still advanced steadily to the frontcourt. After calling Noel to pick and roll, he followed the trend and changed the rhythm and used his strength to forcefully squeeze out Anderson and sent the ball into the basket.

Xiao looked at Tang Shuai at this time.

Although there were requirements before the game, in terms of details, he was not as good as Walton did. If the situation was like this, it was completely because Tang Shuai was controlling the rhythm.

Whether it is offense or defense, Tang Shuai suppressed the rhythm.

This is a very terrifying thing. A second-year student plays a game like an old player for more than ten years, and looks like a master in the field control style.

The Rockets' offense's efficiency plummeted under the Lakers' defensive defense. Harden forced his attack to Batum and went out of the basket again, which was completely different from the scene of consecutive games at the beginning of the game.

The Lakers were just holding the position. When he arrived at the frontcourt, he let his teammates play consecutive pick-and-roll without the ball, and saw the opportunity to pass the ball through the defensive gap between Anderson and Gordon.

After receiving the ball, Stephenson rushed into the basket quickly. After successfully attracting Capela's defense at the basket, he threw the ball into the air.

Noel on the right saw the opportunity, then jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket.

A burst of excitement suddenly broke out at the scene.

10-8, after a wonderful all-time catch, the Lakers came from behind and had already surpassed the score.

Stephenson seemed very excited and shouted, and reached out to the three-point line and clapped Tang Shuai with a strong clapping.

It is obvious that after several consecutive rounds of defense against the Rockets' offense, the momentum began to emerge.

"color!"

The originally silent fans at the scene also chose to start cheering for the home team loudly at this time.

The team was in offensive dilemma, and Harden chose to make a strong layup at this time. Under the influence of Harden's foul, he successfully won Bynum's foul.

Walked to the free throw line and made both free throws steadily.

In the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai went to the frontcourt to suppress the rhythm, then called Noel to pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Batum. Batum made a three-pointer in the bottom corner with a knife.

The fans at the scene heard another cheer.

Under the leadership of Tang Shuai, the Lakers' offense was getting smoother and smoother.

With the Rockets' offense, Harden broke through again and caused Bynum's second personal foul.

Bynum deliberately avoided this foul, but Harden still seized the opportunity because he was slower.

Harden's ability to touch a carton bag is not a good idea.

There was a booing sound at the scene.

Harden remained calm and still made 2 free throws when he reached the free throw line.

Xiao made an adjustment at this time, replaced Bynum with Xiao Nans and pulled Nol back to the fifth position.

After Gasol and Landry joined the Lakers, Nans, who had a lot of playing time last season, was refrigerated. At this time, Xiao sent him on the court not because he wanted to reuse him, but because he really didn't have enough rotations.

In the Lakers' offense, Shuai Tang asked Nans to pick-and-roll. After breaking the ball, he broke through and returned the ball to Nans.

Although he doesn't have many opportunities to play with Xiao Nansi, he still knows the skill package of Xiao Nansi. What about other cloths? The purple mid-range shot package is still useful.

Xiao Nansi's reaction was quite fast. After receiving Tang Shuai's pass, he raised his hand and shot directly.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's judgment was not wrong, and Xiao Nansi's two-pointer was firmly obtained.

There was a burst of laughter on the scene. I haven't seen Little Nansi play for too long. I saw him score as soon as I came on the court. The fans were in a very good mood.

The Rockets played to the frontcourt, and Harden suddenly gave Anderson.

Nans is much better than Bynum and Noel in terms of movement speed. Now that the defense is in place, Anderson has no good chance, so he can only return the ball to Harden.

There is not much time to attack, so Harden can only choose to break through, quickly break into the basket, throw his body out, get up and make a foul while making a foul.

However, as soon as he took the ball, he suddenly slapped his hand in the air.

"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
