I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 62 Regular season debut! (For collection, for follow-up)
The flag-raising ceremony is over, and the honor of last season has completely become a thing of the past.

NBA officials and media reporters exited the stadium one by one, and the Lakers players also returned to the locker room. The opening game of the new season is about to begin.

The Clippers started with the first five as the visiting team players, Randolph, Thornton, Kaman, Davis, and finally Lu Yi.

The preseason is arranged like this, and the regular season is naturally the same.

Next is the Lakers' debut, which took a little longer than before.

In terms of lineup, they are Odom, Artest, Bynum, Fisher and Kobe.

The Lakers' second-in-command Gasol, although he won the championship ring, suffered a finger injury because he participated in the training of the Spanish national team in the summer. He is still recuperating and did not play today.

Playing the Lakers who lack a core player, the Clippers are not without the possibility of winning.

Just like the previous preseason games, although only half of the game was played, there is still hope for the Clippers to win.

As long as Lu Yi can once again play the performance of suppressing Kobe, the Clippers are really likely to replicate the success of the preseason.

The fans watching the game at this time, as well as the audience watching the game in front of the TV, more or less know the previous preseason game of the Lakers and Clippers.

So today's opening game has a lot to watch, and it's not a boring one-sided game.

Much like the previous preseason starts, Bynum helped the Lakers jump to possession.

Lu Yi also has some experience playing the Lakers. Instead of pressing Fisher from the frontcourt, he locked Kobe in the backcourt.

Unexpectedly, Kobe didn't insist on getting the ball to attack from the beginning.

The Lakers' offense was launched by Artest. After breaking into the paint, he gave the ball to Odom, who then hooked the ball up.

It has to be said that even if Gasol is absent, the Lakers still have strong inside resources.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack, and no one was disappointed. After halftime, the ball fell into Lu Yi's hands.

Kobe stood one step ahead of the top three-point line, forcing Lui to move elsewhere.

The Lakers put on a 32-zone defense. Once Lu Yi goes to the two sides, he may be forced into the trap set by the Lakers in advance by Kobe.

Lu Yi accelerated and ran to the right at a 45-degree angle. Kobe defended and forced Lu Yi to the baseline.

However, Lu Yi was neither tricked nor fooled.

After all, Lu Yi is a little taller than Kobe, and he has some passing vision from the outside.

Furthermore, it is not that Lu Yi does not have the ability to pass the ball, and he has been required to undergo special training as early as the NCAA.

When Kobe thought Lu Yi would make a three-pointer, Lu Yi used three threats to sway Kobe, and then crossed the ball to Davis at a 45-degree angle on the left.

After the Beard caught the ball, he rushed towards the empty center. Fisher reacted a little slower and couldn't catch up with the Beard's footsteps.

Odom and Bynum reacted and moved into the three-second zone to occupy a favorable defensive position.

But the bearded man can not only play hard by himself, but also distribute the ball to his teammates.

Randolph received a pass from the bearded man, made a mid-range jumper, and the ball went in!
2 to 2, the two teams scored in the first attack of the opening one after another, and it was a tie.

The Lakers attacked for the second time, but Kobe still didn't participate in the offense. It seemed that he wanted to keep his physical strength on the defensive end and limit Lu Yi as much as possible.

It can also be seen from this that the Lakers really attach great importance to the Clippers and Lu Yi.

Artest continued to rush inside with the ball. Thornton had good athletic ability, but his weight was too much behind Artest. Artest carried Thornton and rushed to the basket.

Fortunately, Randolph and Kaman were more active in defense and made up in time.

Although Odom and Bynum were freed up some space, Artest played resolutely this time and didn't have the idea of ​​passing the ball to his teammates. Artest just wanted to rely on his personal ability to score.

Unfortunately, the goal was not scored.

The rebound was grabbed by Odom, but Odom was anxious to make a tip, but failed to put the ball in.

In the end, it was cheaper, and Thornton rushed to the basket to protect the defensive rebound.

Seeing this, Lu Yi took the lead and ran to the front court. After playing eight games, Thornton and other Clippers players had established a certain trust in Lu Yi, and they immediately passed the ball to Lu Yi.

Kobe noticed that Lu Yi turned back and ran, and immediately followed.

Chasing the body for a three-pointer is Lu Yi's specialty. Kobe, who had suffered a loss before, immediately flew over after Lu Yi caught the ball and made a shooting action.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi actually feinted this time, and turned to the basket to kill.

Just when the vast majority of people at the scene thought that Lu Yi was going to show off his athletic talent, Lu Yi went up to the basket in an unremarkable manner, even when he jumped, he was very perfunctory, about 20 centimeters off the ground.

The Clippers substitute on the bench was still cheering just now, but the next second he couldn't help throwing all the towels in his hand, and then returned to his previous seat angrily.

When Kobe saw this scene, he was also a little dumbfounded: "What the hell does this kid want?"

Opening game, live broadcast across the United States, Staples Center, a 1-on-0 fast break opportunity, just perform this?

At the scene, perhaps only Dunleavy knew what Lu Yi was thinking.

Tomorrow, it will still be the Staples Center, and it will still be broadcast live across the United States!And that was a back-to-back home game.

Lu Yi is the Clippers Lu Yi after all!Sometimes when a star plays a game, he has to think more about the home fans.

Prior to this, Lu Yi had no experience in playing back-to-back games.

And the Lakers are the defending champions who pursue "defense wins the championship".

It is reasonable for Lu Yi to play this game from the beginning to save more energy.

In other words, with Lu Yi's layup this time, the Clippers took the lead in the score.

The Lakers are very experienced in narrowing the score and even completing a lead, but the Clippers players on the field obviously don't want the Lakers to do this.

The team fell behind, and Kobe finally started to participate in the offense.

Defense can consume Lu Yi, as can offense.

Kobe attacked Lu Yi with the ball and quickly played back.

Lu Yi was also very straightforward. After resisting Kobe, he immediately shouted: "Help, come and double-team Kobe!"

Kobe knew that someone was coming to double-team, but would he pass the ball to his teammates at this time?

There is only one answer - no!
Fans come to Staples Center to watch Kobe shoot!
Kobe knew this deeply, so he shot without hesitation.

Seeing Kobe's picturesque recline from the front, Lu Yi is more pleasing to the eye than other fans.

Then Duang——, Lu Yi almost didn't smile and tilted his mouth.

Lu Yi said that if he played the Lakers every game in the regular season, maybe he would be eligible to compete for DPOY!

After all, Lu Yi defended the best player in the league and defended very successfully.

Kobe shot the ball very well. Although it was a long rebound, the beard protected the defensive rebound.

Lu Yi continued to play fast breaks. Kobe returned to the defense quickly and was very tight. Lu Yi didn't have much space to catch the ball. This wave of transitions could only be played into a positional battle.

Fighting positional warfare, the Clippers don't have to worry too much.

Randolph reached out for the ball, but the beard was quite selfless. He passed the ball to Randolph. The latter hit Odom with his back, showed off his footwork at the basket, and made another one.

Oh, 6 to 2, the point difference continued to widen, no one expected that the defending champion Lakers fell into a disadvantage at the beginning.
