I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 430 An Unprecedented Awards Ceremony!

Paul then advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Yi Jianlian took the initiative to raise the high position to do the pick-and-roll.

Obviously, Paul's performance in that round just now won his approval.

Paul passed the ball back after breaking through, and Yi Jianlian made a high jumper after the ball.

"Shh!"

This ball Yi Jianlian showed his soft touch, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

After the goal, he took the initiative to ask Paul to high five.

Bulls coach Scott Skiles beams from the sidelines.

He doesn't think the Bulls are capable of defeating the defending champions now, but the tacit cooperation between Yi Jianlian and Paul makes him believe that the team can do it in the future.

Sun Hao then hit Paul with his back.

His post-up efficiency is definitely not as good as the face-up, but the preseason is for the Lakers to find the feeling of the game.

And what's different from Kobe's post-ups is that his post-ups are all on the outside and will not invade O'Neal's offensive space at the basket.

The Bulls still didn't double-team. Sun Hao turned around and leaned back this time to make a fake move, and then turned around and directly broke through with a low center of gravity.

Payton couldn't handle this kind of change during the training game, and the immature Paul seemed even more at a loss.

He tried to pat Sun Hao's ball to steal it, but in the end he patted the air.

After Sun Hao broke through to the basket and once again attracted Chandler's help defense, he stuffed the ball to O'Neal from close range.

Yi Jianlian showed his athletic talent and quickly helped defend in place.

O'Neal did not choose to play hard, but passed another pass to Walker in the bottom corner.

Walker happily shot a three-pointer again.

"Shh!"

Then, the ball went in again!

The cheers of the fans at the scene have exploded.

Not only because of Walker's excellent touch on the perimeter tonight, but also because of the Lakers' mercury-laden offense this round.

They are more sure that this Lakers team is a fantasy team.

Because only when the strength reaches a certain level, the game will become a visual enjoyment!

Or in other words, this is another team in the league that can be called "show.time" after the Mavericks, the previous championship team.

And, it's the Lakers again!

Nocioni's layup was directly confiscated by O'Neal.

The big shark nestled in the basket and no longer went out, but the basket was still his restricted area!

The ball is in Walker's hands, and Walker makes a long pass.

He is not only the serializer between instant kills, but also the engine of the team's fast break.

This time, Sun Hao restrained the defense, and after receiving the ball, Finley quickly broke into the frontcourt and scored with a flying dunk!

15 is better than 6!

In less than half a quarter, the point difference has already moved towards double digits!

By the end of this quarter, the score on the court was already 32 to 16!

In one quarter, the Lakers have led by nearly 20 points!

Such a score fully illustrates the strength gap between the two teams.

The same should be true of the defending champions who have been strengthened and the teams that are rebuilding.

The scene in this section also impressed the fans.

That was when the game reached more than 7 minutes, Paul tried to break through Sun Hao head-on.

His speed is faster, but Sun Hao's prediction is very accurate and he will fight in advance. After he is forced to stop the ball, Sun Hao cuts him off abruptly.

This scene is also very similar to the portrayal of Paul Deron in history.

Can't defend, can't attack, Paul's career debut started a bit in hell mode.

However, a great player can always find room to play. After a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian, he gave just the right lob.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Bulls 102-85 in the preseason opener.

The final point difference is because the Lakers have started to use all substitutes and benches in the second half.

After the game is over, the Lakers' 12-man activation list will have everyone scoring points.

Sun Hao scored 17 points in the first half of the game. It is worth mentioning that he only took 7 shots, and his efficiency of 7 of 6 shots was terrible.

Payton and Mourning haven't found much form yet, but Walker performed brilliantly.

He played nearly 30 minutes and scored a team-high 20 points, plus 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

This kind of performance has made Los Angeles fans double their favor and even give birth to love for him.

In fact, Walker, who doesn't make a lot of shots, has always been an All-Star level, how can people not love it!

The Lakers have made a lot of money on this signing so far.

Zhu Fangyu also got a chance to play in the game, and he felt good. He made 3 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line, scored 6 points and 2 rebounds.

公牛队那边，得分最高的是易建联，19投9中的他得到全队最高的25分11板2盖帽，保罗16分6板9助攻，钱德勒9分9板。

Although the team lost, the Bulls made people feel that the future is promising.

Of course, at the end of the game, Paul's expression was not very good.

Before the game, his statement of "entering the playoffs as soon as next year" has already shown his ambition. The team can lose, but the way of losing makes him a little unacceptable.

"Your passing is much better than when I first entered the league", "I am very relieved to play with you in the UAE", "I will wait to see you play in the playoffs next year"...

After Sun Hao saw it, he pulled him and said a few words of encouragement during the handshake ceremony.

Paul's mood seemed significantly better.

This scene is also very similar... Jordan must not be able to do it.

Jordan might just say: Boy, are you beating like a piece of shit tonight?

Sun Hao's strength is getting closer to Jordan, but his character is completely different from Jordan.

Especially for younger brothers who are fans of their own, they must be treated with extra care.

……

Time flies, and all 7 preseason games are over in a blink of an eye.

The Lakers have 7 wins and 7 wins without a loss.

Although the preseason record is not included in the statistics, it can still explain something.

In history, the "new F2012" lineup of Nash, Kobe, Gasol, and Howard in the Lakers team in 4 looked more gorgeous than the old F4, but they lost all 8 games in the preseason.

At first, the fans and the team didn't care, but when the regular season started, people were surprised. They lost three games in a row at the beginning, and the new F4 also declared disintegration after one season.

Now this Lakers team is another extreme, which also makes fans feel full of expectations for the new season.

After the end of the preseason, the Lakers also made the last wave of layoffs.

Zhu Fangyu managed to stay and became the 15th man of the Lakers!

In the 7 preseason games, he averaged 10.2 minutes of playing time per game. Not much time or even a little less, but he averaged 5 points per game, 1.4 three-pointers per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 39%. !

This performance obviously satisfied the coaching staff and management.

In other words, in the limited time, Zhu Fangyu seized the opportunity!

And after successfully staying on the team, he also became the first domestic small forward to land in the NBA in a true sense!

Someone may ask, NBA and CBA have different three-point lines, how did Zhu Fangyu adapt to it in a short period of time, which is different from Wang Zhizhi back then.

The answer is, talent plus hard work plus luck.

This thing of talent has also appeared in other European shooters, such as Manu Ginobili. When he was in Europe, his three-pointers were relatively average. He was even complained by Popovich when he first arrived at the Spurs. The three-pointer has become its own weapon.

Zhu Fangyu may be mediocre in other aspects, but he is unique in this area.

The most direct evidence is that Zhu Fangyu in history was a power forward plus dunker at the beginning, and then changed to a small forward at the request of the national team to practice three-pointers.

And he practiced three-pointers in a short period of time, and later became the No. 1 three-pointer in China.

Hard training is also indispensable.

Although he said that he could not enter the NBA, after learning that he was selected by him, he had already started training in private.

Of course, the three-pointer also depends on the touch, and his luck in the preseason is also good.

Talent plus hard work plus luck, he has all three elements of success, and it makes sense to stay on the team.

……

After each team's preseason, ESPN conducted a wave of predictions and rankings on the strength of the 2005~2006 season as in the past.

In this list, the Lakers top the list without any suspense.

Analysis given by ESPN: A championship team has only lost the 42-year-old Malone in the rotation team this past summer, but the players they added are: 29-year-old Antoine Walker, 37-year-old Gary Perry Dayton, 35-year-old Alonzo Mourning; for such a team, if he can't become the first, the only possibility is uncontrollable injuries.

The analysis is simple, but convincing in its simplicity.

The reinforcement of the lineup is clearly visible, not to mention the improvement in Sun Hao's strength as the core.

In addition to the Lakers, there are also many teams on this list that attract attention.

Among them, the Wizards, which has just changed their coach, ranks second in this list.

Everyone feels that the Wizards will be reborn after being coached by Carlisle, which naturally includes ESPN.

"This is a coach who just gets into a team and makes it better. The Wizards are already one of the best teams in the league. If they get better, the championship will be their only goal. "

The Pistons, Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Nets, and Nuggets ranked 3rd to 8th.

The Bulls rank 20th on this list.

"Chris Paul proved how good he is, and Yi Jianlian also proved that he can at least become a qualified second-in-command. Give them time to grow, and maybe they can really enter the playoffs as Paul said. .”

It was a good look, and the Lakers players were also very excited, and they kept shouting during the training game.

However, this excitement did not rise to complacency, because O'Neal vaccinated everyone as he did in the playoffs last season.

"What we want to win is not just this one championship. Before we win more championships, show me your focus. If anyone is not careful, I will beat his ass."

Humor and ruthlessness coexist, this is the big shark.

But in Los Angeles, who would dare not listen to the Sharks?

The Lakers' opponent in the season opener is... the Mavericks!

That's right, it was a rumor when it came up.

As for why it is not the Pistons or the Wizards or the Spurs, there are reasons for that.

The Pistons have just played the finals with the Lakers, and it is inevitable that they will suffer from visual fatigue. The Spurs' long-term popularity is generally not suitable for the opening game, and the Wizards' arrangement for the opening game is a bit wasteful.

Stern's ability in this area is second and no one dares to say first.

The biggest move of the Lone Ranger team in the past summer was to renew Bell to retain the team's core lineup.

As for the center position, Dampier's contract is too long and they can't handle it. The team can only look forward to Diop's progress.

However, in the preseason, Marquis Daniels, Josh Howard, and Devon Harris all showed their progress, and the strength of the Mavericks still only increased compared to last season.

Of course, it is Kobe, or his style of play, that determines the upper limit of this team.

What he will choose to do after the failed season last season is also the focus of everyone's attention.

But no matter what, Kobe and Sun Hao met again, and the grievances between OK did not end with the end of last season, but became more exciting.

After all, grievances are the same as Jiuniang, the longer the time, the more people look forward to it.

Those stories that lasted their entire careers, like Russell and Chamberlain in the ancient times, are topics that fans always talk about.

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

In addition to the unmissable matchup, the Lakers, as the defending champions, will have a championship ring award ceremony in the opening game.

Tickets were hard to come by, and there were quite a few Hollywood stars in the front row.

One hour before the start of the game, under the watchful eyes of the fans, the Lakers' championship ring ceremony began.

Old Buss liked this championship very much, and he was not stingy about investing in the ring.

Compared with the Mavericks' championship ring, or the Pistons' ring last year, this ring is a full size bigger.

The same thing is that they are all embedded with diamonds, and there is also the familiar gold-plated lakers logo, which will make people unconsciously show a "wow" expression at a glance.

Of course, the old Bath's emphasis on this championship is more than that.

The award ceremony this time is different from the previous ones. In addition to Stern, many meritorious players of the Lakers came to the scene.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Jerry West, James Worthy...and of course no Baylor.

These are all historical celebrities who have won championships in the history of the Lakers team, and the number of them is exactly the same as the number of Lakers players who need to be awarded rings.

Old Buss invited them all to the Staples Center this time and asked them to present rings to the Lakers.

Looking at these celebrities on the court, the Lakers players off the court felt extremely excited.

This kind of arrangement is unique in history, and perhaps only the Lakers can arrange so many superstars.

This is truly an award ceremony that has never been seen before.

After making sufficient preparations, the on-site award ceremony began.

The front office and coaching staff of the team that gets the ring first.

Phil Jackson laughed happier than Grandpa KFC this time.

Not counting the two championship rings during the player period, this is also the tenth in his coaching career.

And Jackson's approach is also very hippie. He wears the other nine rings on his hands. After wearing this one, his two hands are completely full of rings.

This made the fans on the scene wet, and the highest level of pretense is nothing more than this!

This scene is destined to become the focus of heated discussions among fans after the game.

However, fans may never have thought that what happened after the award ceremony would make them completely forget about Jackson's pretentious thing.

ps: The update will resume tomorrow.
