Howard's first point took 1 minute and 25 seconds to get it - Ellis controlled the ball on the left wing and handed it to Howard from the high position, and Howard completed the dunk with both hands. The first timeout also came as scheduled.

Snyder took the initiative to stop the game, and he was not satisfied with the team's performance.

It is mainly reflected in the defensive end, and the team does not run much.

Dragic seemed to be frightened by Ci Shiping's evil criminals and was timid in the fight.

"Golan, are you uncomfortable?"

Snyder asked.

“Some.”

Dragic knows that this is not the time to get ahead, so he has to tell if there is any problem. This is just the first game of the new season.

"Lance, you replace Golan!"

"Dennis, take Golan to the infirmary for a look."

Upon hearing this, team doctor Dennis Greg took Dragic to enter the player channel.

Stephenson's chance came faster than ever, and he listened carefully to Snyder's arrangement, fearing that he would miss a word.

After Stephenson came on the court, the Lakers' matchup also changed.

Kobe came to Stephenson and it was obvious that they wanted to match the two.

Stephenson looked at Kobe and said in a cold voice: "Even if you don't want to stop me!"

Kobe turned his head and looked away.

Stephenson used this method to give himself courage: "Why don't you talk? Aren't your trash talk very strong? Let's say a few words!"

"Shut up the fuck!"

The momentum erupted from Kobe's body instantly covered Stephenson.

Stephenson was about to yell back, but saw the other party's cold and inhumane eyes.

"I have five champions, you only have two, and you're just a fucking little character, shut up, do you understand?"

Kobe is using his power to suppress others, but Stephenson still has no choice.

Stephenson knew Kobe's strength very well, but he just wanted to prove himself.

Dragic is suspected of being injured, and this is a good opportunity. He wants to prove it to Snyder that he is more suitable for starting than Dragic.

Li Xing could feel Stephenson's desire, and this was a fighter who would not bow his head easily.

Li Xing's pick-and-roll helped Stephenson block Kobe. After the latter got the shooting space, he directly made a shot from outside the three-point line.

"Did you see it the fuck?"

Stephenson screamed.

It seems that every superstar will encounter such a thing. When they are old, the younger generation who feels good will rush to him and tell him righteously that you are already old and now it is our era.

"interesting!"

Kobe remembered when he challenged Jordan.

He didn't expect Stephenson to challenge him in front of him. Did this guy get brave?

If Li Xing could see Kobe's distress, he would have no choice but to explain to him what was going on.

The wolf-hearted leopard is too brave. What really makes Stephenson transform is the BUFF "I'm stronger than Golan Dragic" and the bloody halo "The starter is fucking mine".

Kobe couldn't understand these inside stories, and he really regarded Stephenson as a competitive junior.

"Defend me? Can you guard me?"

Howard, who wanted the ball, was ignored. Kobe was in high spirits, stuck Stephenson at a low post, and played singles with the ball.

Howard, who was rarely at the position, did not wait for the pass.

This disappointed him a little, and although it was only the first game of the season, he was really a little disappointed.

He remembered Orlando, who had just escaped. Although it was a foolish city, if he wanted to get a seat there, who would dare not to pass on it?

Borrow some courage to them!

It’s a pity that this is Los Angeles, Kobe’s team, he can’t drive the original boss off the throne like James like he did when he arrived in the new territory.

Besides, Kobe was very nice to him in private, except for ignoring his position just now, he was basically still good.

Howard tried hard to downplay the unhappiness of having no one passing the ball when he was about to get to the position.

Li Xing also didn't expect Kobe to be so maverick. In order to avoid Stephenson being beaten up, he deliberately let Howard get stuck to the position and lure the opponent to pass the ball.

Did Kobe not see it or pretend not to see it?

Anyone who knows Kobe knows that he neither didn’t see it nor pretended not to see it. The open and upright Black Mamba has always been, “What’s wrong with me when I saw it? Isn’t there any problem?”

It turns out that not passing the ball is correct.

With Stephenson's physique, it's too difficult for him to defend Kobe.

Kobe pushed twice in a row, and the others did not shrink their defenses in the idea of ​​observing their feels, and watched him tear Stephenson to pieces.

Stephenson's defense was pushed into the inside repeatedly. At the moment of the last move, Kobe Hi caused the former to foul and threw the ball to the rebound.

Rush cricket

"Bryant scored three points!"

"Lance Stephenson is too young."

"Yes, how could he defend so much?"

O'Neal and Kobe were reconciled in name, but in fact, the two of them didn't deal with each other.

Especially recently, he complained about Howard becoming more and more intense, and Kobe naturally has to stand up for his teammates. He made some remarks in front of the media that were not conducive to O'Neal to support Howard.

O'Neal's mind is not proportional to his size. He will not let go of those who are evil to him, one or two.

So when he saw Stephenson's defense being cut off like Kobe's cut vegetables, his first reaction was not "Boss is awesome!" but "Can you fucking defend?"

"Demar, that's your person." Li Xing reminded.

DeRozan reacted.

"Lance, I will play against Kobe next," DeRozan said.

Stephenson nodded in agreement. He could not defend Kobe, in terms of height and tonnage.

Kobe's expression was cold and he scanned everyone on the scene.

With D'Antoni taking over, the team will rely more and more on point guards. Although Kobe can play in the No. 1 position for a short time, he knows that that is not his position.

The defense will gradually be dominated by Howard.

The dominance of offense and defense is in the hands of others, and Kobe is very clear about who is the blood of this team.

It's him.

To win, he can give up many things, including himself.

"It seems that Kobe doesn't value you." Li Xing was blowing the wind in Howard's ear.

Howard said in a deep voice: "He just made a better choice, and it would be the same if you could understand me."

"Indeed, your attack is like a constipation excretion."

Li Xing spoke disgusting trash words with a cold face.

Howard stared straight, as if he wanted to be bigger than Li Xingbi.

Li Xing didn't have this leisure, so he stood on the free throw line and waited for Kobe to make a free throw.

Kobega made a free throw.

Li Xing picked up the basketball on the ground, walked out of the boundary, and said to Stephenson: "Don't fight."

"learn."

Although Stephenson was angry, he also knew what to do.

Snyder never wants to see him monopolize the ball, and the Raptors' starting No. 1 position does not need to be a big shot.

"Dwight! Keep him in check!"

O'Neal said this on purpose.

Because when he despised Howard's offensive skills on TV shows, Kobe said to the media: "Dwight has three best defensive players."

The implicit meaning is nothing more than - don't say anything about you, who can only enter the second defense at most, you can't compare to him than defense.

This is why O'Neal "optimistic" and "supported" Howard.

He believed that Li Xing could beat Howard, and then it was time for him to show his acting skills.

Howard is not unaware of the weight of his body, but is no longer playing for Orlando. The jerseys on him represent one of the most successful teams in NBA history.

In addition to Russell, the greatest centers in history are all gathered here - McCann, Chamberlain, Jabbar, and O'Neal.
