Chapter 388 Watch me perform
On October NO.30, the first game of the Lakers 2012-2013 new season against the Spurs started at the Staples Center.

Curry was officially approved by the attending doctor Robertson and the team doctor Gary Vitti. After a period of training and observation, Curry can play the game, but it needs to be controlled within 30 minutes.

Before the pre-match ceremony, Su Yang told the Lakers generals in the locker room: "I am very happy to be able to represent the Lakers this season with everyone. I know that some of you want to defend the title and win more championships, and some Some people want to work hard for the next contract, some people want the opportunity to grow, and some people just want to gain a foothold in this league and get a job.

No matter what you want to do, I will try to help you, we can stick together, we can help each other.

Achieving your goals can be a process of both pain and pleasure.

So, please believe in my various arrangements and work together with me. We will start working hard from this night. "

After the words fell, Kobe took the lead and joked: "Please rest assured, I will pass a lot of balls like last season."

The generals of the Lakers burst into laughter when they heard the words, and then clapped hands and fists, shouting in unison: "One two three, Lakers!"

The whole team left the locker room and went to the stadium, and found that more than 9000 fans were wearing the "Lakers Championship" support T-shirts specially customized in Chinese and English according to Su Yang's suggestion. The atmosphere in the center of Sri Lanka is full.

'Fruit Girl' Katy Perry and her husband Russell Brand, 'Maroon [-]' lead singer Adam Levine, 'Running Boxer' Floyd Methaway, and 'The Duke of Charity' David Beckham Celebrities sat on the sidelines to watch the battle.

The live announcer gave a brief introduction, and the championship award ceremony began grandly, with David Stern making a speech.

Thank the fans for the beginning, praise the history of the Lakers for the center, congratulate the Bass family for the end, and Stern completed the speech skillfully.

Bass Jr. then appeared on the stage, smiling and shaking hands with Stern, but Bass Sr. did not show up. Rumors said that his condition had worsened.

Artest was the first to receive the ring, and then introduced Gasol to enter the court, followed by Hill, Blake, Biedrins, Curry, and Kobe. The award ceremony ended within a few minutes, and the main Lakers championship members left Too many, only seven left.

After Kobe gave a speech, he introduced assistant coach Mike Brown and others to enter the arena to receive the rings, and Su Yang finally came out to the cheers.

After receiving the ring from David Stern, Su Yang put it on casually, raised his right hand and showed it to the audience, and then said: "Thanks to all the Lakers fans around the world for their long-term support, and thanks to the Bass family for their trust. Thank you Kobe, Curry... Gasol for your support, and Andrew Bynum, Luke Walton who have left but I will always remember..."

The awards ceremony ended, and after a short break, the announcer began to introduce the visiting team's starting players for the Spurs.

The names of the five starters of the Lakers were also called out one after another. The game entered the routine preparation stage. Su Yang called the Lakers to surround him, and emphasized again the main offensive and defensive strategies against the Spurs, and emphasized that a good first game will be very important for the entire season.

After listening to Kobe's entry positions, assistant coach Snyder said with a smile: "Is it a bit exaggerated? The first game is so important?"

Su Yang shook his head: "It's not an exaggeration. After today's home game and tomorrow's back-to-back away game against the Trail Blazers, we need to win today in order to implement the load management strategy smoothly and reasonably. Do it."

The long whistle sounded in a blink of an eye, and the game entered the opening jump ball. The referee Scott Foster walked to the middle circle with the basketball in his arms.

The two teams started, Curry vs. Parker, Kobe vs. Green, Artest vs. Leonard, Gasol vs. Duncan, Hill vs. Splitter.

Snapped!Hill jumped up to touch the ball first, and moved it backwards. The basketball flew straight to the Lakers' half court, and the arena cheered thunderously.

Curry advanced with the ball, the Lakers started in a floppy formation, Kobe took the screen and went around to the left wing to catch the ball, standing still and waiting.

Gasol simultaneously ran over to set up the wall as a cover, and Kobe took the opportunity to walk the sideline to break through. Seeing the Spurs resolutely delayed, he decisively stopped and hit the ground to distribute the ball.Gasol took the ball and subconsciously turned to the right, and found that other teammates had a mediocre chance, so he turned to Kobe again.

In the blink of an eye, the two cooperated hand in hand. Kobe took the ball and went to the line, first fast and then slow to break through Danny Green. It was a floater aimed directly at the basket.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 2 to 0.

There was applause in the arena, but Su Yang frowned slightly, thinking that the first attack was quite difficult and the Spurs were too serious.

The Spurs counterattacked on the field, started with a horoscope conduction, and then connected to the right pick-and-roll, turned into a threat of an open three-pointer at the top of the arc, and then turned into a threat of an open three-pointer from the left corner. Finally, Leonard pointed Artest. He stopped the mid-range shot and hit the iron, but it was a pity that Split made a tip-up.

Seeing the smooth attack of the Spurs, assistant coach Snyder looked a little surprised, and hurriedly looked at Su Yang, wanting to prove his idea.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Do you think the Spurs' overall offense has improved significantly? Actually, I think so too..."

In the 13 season, the Spurs were at the championship level, with a lot of pick-and-rolls and ball transfers, the offense was smooth, and the defense was strong.

During the conversation, the Lakers still started with a floppy formation, but Kobe was taken care of, Artest hurried out to catch the ball, took advantage of the opportunity to find Hill for a pick-and-roll, and faced Splitter who did not hesitate to switch defenses and intercepted, he quickly distributed the ball to Temporary Hill in the vacancy.

Hill made a mid-range shot with his right elbow, and the Spurs grabbed a rebound and pushed for a fast break. Facing the Lakers' defense shrinking to the free throw line, Leonard took the ball from the left wing of the frontcourt and launched a figure-of-eight pass. Bryant returned to the defense to rush the shot.

The three-pointer went into the net hollowly, and the Spurs' offense took a total of ten seconds, not only fast, but also TM targeted cooperation.

"The Spurs this season is not easy..." Su Yang sighed, thinking that Popovich must have learned a lot of tactical ideas from the 12s from himself. The Spurs in front of him should be better than the Spurs in the previous 13-[-] season. Strong, tough.

Between emotions, Curry dribbled the ball with his left back and waited. Kobe used Gasol to cover and went up to the top of the arc to get the ball.

While Gasol finished the screen and cut inside, Kobe suddenly lobbed the ball to the basket, trying to assist Gasol to attack the basket.

At that time, Duncan seemed to have expected it, and he jumped before Gasol and abruptly intercepted Kobe's pass.

The Spurs immediately launched a fast-break counterattack. Parker led the frontcourt three-on-three against the Lakers. He made a small change to Curry and entered the paint. , Homeopathic top turned and layup.

The basketball bounced into the net with a bang, and the boos of the audience stopped suddenly, but the Spurs bench showed no excitement at all.

Parker just turned around and returned to the defense quickly, as if the attack just now was a matter of course and he should score efficiently.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows again, and immediately defined the Spurs in his heart as the strongest opponent in the Western Division, even stronger than in his previous life.

Between emotions, Kobe broke through and was encircled by the Spurs generals. He hurriedly passed the ball to Gasol, but the result was a two-pointer.

The Spurs Leonard grabbed the rebound, did not pass it to Parker, and directly advanced to the top of the frontcourt arc. He suddenly stopped and turned and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line. Green came to do hand-to-hand cooperation.

Kobe squeezed through the screen to catch up. Who would have thought that Green would change hands behind the back and make an emergency stop, step back to the three-point line, and rush to shoot head-on.

For a split second, Su Yang almost thought that McGrady was playing in the No. 4 jersey of the Spurs. His movements were too smooth.

Kobe reacted a little slower, too.

But who would have thought that Green was so handsome.

The basketball slammed into the net, and the Spurs led the Lakers 10-2. Su Yang got up and waved at the referee to signal a timeout.
