November 11.The Lakers return to host the Houston Mosaics.

The Staples Arena was packed, and the fans were packed.

"We must win this game, otherwise we will fall behind at the beginning of the season, which is too troublesome."

"Yao Ming + McGrady really feel like they were OK back then~e=(′o`*)))"

"To be honest, I am a little pessimistic about today's game."

"The Mosaic team has two brushes, but we are not weak."

The fans in the arena were talking one after another, and far away in the CCTV broadcast hall, because of the relationship between Ke Yan and Yao Ming, this game was also called the "China Derby".

Wang Dazhi will basically not appear on the official platform due to special reasons. In order to avoid trouble, CCTV may not broadcast a Clippers game. Battelle left the NBA in the summer.Now, the only "China Derby" that CCTV can promote is Yao Ming and Keyan.

Even if Ke Yan is just an assistant coach, he still has to promote it like this.The United States also knows China very well. When preparing for the game, they gave Ke Yan a lot of shots, and even specially arranged photographers to take a group photo of Yao Ming and Keyan before the game.

The two have cooperated in the Mosaic team for more than a year, and the relationship is not bad.Ke Yan's departure from the Mosaic team was more of a disagreement with Van Gundy.Ke Yan regards old Nelson as his mentor, and Van Gundy is a disciple brought out by Pat Riley. It can almost be said that they are two schools with completely opposite styles. The differences in philosophy are too great to be reconciled!

Of course, according to the fan support rate counted by CCTV, the Mosaic team is still far ahead with a 95% advantage.

Yao beat Anderson on the jump ball, and the Mosaics went first.

After the players pulled away, McGrady and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll, attracting Anderson to defend and pass the ball to Yao Ming. The latter leaned on Kobe on the right side to advance in the middle, and scored the ball before Odom helped defend. 2 to 0.

Kobe made a fast serve from the baseline and sent the ball directly to Odom, who accelerated his offensive and defensive transitions, and made a big stride to the basket, causing Uncle Huo to foul.

The overall ability of the role players of the Mosaic team is insufficient. Yao Ming had no time to return to defense after finishing the singles, and there were loopholes in the backcourt defense. The Lakers took this point and attacked.

Ke Yan knows that Yao Ming's weakness lies in physical strength, the faster the offensive and defensive rhythm, the more Yao Ming consumes, the higher the Lakers' chances of winning!

The Mosaic team continued to attack in positional battles. Yao Ming received the ball on the right side, leaned on Anderson twice to turn around the baseline, opened the defense, and scored with a hook, 4-2.

Although Ke Yan made it clear that he did not support Yao Ming's weight gain, he had to admit that the weight gain of Yao Ming's power had increased, and no one could defend against him alone, so he had to go around or pinch.

Anderson's defense has improved a bit this season, but he's no match for Yao Ming.It's not just him, 98% of the league's insiders defending Yao Ming alone are tortured, not a crime of war!

The Lakers attacked, Atkins took the ball to the frontcourt, and played a pick-and-roll with Odom to the left. After attracting Ryan Bowen to switch defenses, he distributed the ball to Odom in the middle, who held the ball with both hands. , saw Kobe make an air cut and passed the ball.

Kobe took the ball and took three steps, faced Yao Mingqiang and made a basketball goal, 4 to 4.

The Mosaic team attacked, facing Butler's close defense, McGrady chose singles after receiving the ball from the wing, broke through with the ball and was followed by Butler, forced a pull-up jumper to the left baseline, and missed the basket under interference.

Yao Ming's offensive rebound data is mediocre, but the ball obviously suppressed Anderson in the blocking position.

Yao Ming was eaten raw by Yao Ming in the opening game, and it was in three different ways in a row. Anderson spread his hands helplessly. This was the most aggrieved time since the beginning of the new season, when he was defending Stoudemire and Nowitzki. , not as uncomfortable as it is now.

Although it has been two years since he entered the league, by chance, Anderson has not had the chance to try O'Neal's power.But against Yao Ming today, Anderson may have experienced the desperation of other insiders in the league when facing the Sharks.

Kobe held the ball across half court and came to the right side with the ball, McGrady took the initiative to stick it.

Kobe didn't wait for McGrady to settle down and stabilize, and quickly moved to the left sideways. McGrady didn't dare to neglect, and clung to it.

Suddenly feeling Kobe's acceleration, McGrady accelerated to keep up.

I saw Kobe suddenly paused, his right hand holding the ball swung behind him, dribbled the ball behind his back, and it reached his left hand in an instant, but his body had already adjusted his direction, accelerated to the left, and threw McGrady away cleanly.Seeing this situation, Yao Ming immediately made up the defense. Seeing that Kobe had risen, he opened his hand to seal it forward.

Yao Ming's defensive area is very large, but for Kobe who is stuck in the air, it is not a problem to complete the pull. However, Kobe did not choose to force the ball by himself. With his left hand, he took the ball from Yao Ming's armpit It was given to Anderson who plugged in behind, and assisted Birdman to follow up and complete the dunk!Got some places back!

After being defeated by Yao Ming for three consecutive rounds, Anderson needed to regain some confidence on the offensive end. Kobe rarely showed his selfless side, and Ke Yan also applauded softly from the sidelines.

Immediately, Kobe's correct move was rewarded. Yao Ming asked for the ball from a low post, and Anderson resolutely went forward to limit the passing angle of Mike James. Butler, who was supplementing the defense, cut off in time and started to advance immediately. Taking advantage of Yao Ming's weakness of slow movement, he formed a 5-on-4 frontcourt, and finally Atkins hit a three-pointer.

Since Kobe assisted Anderson, the morale of the Lakers has soared. In addition to the different spirits and spirits of the players on the court, the Mosaic team, on the other hand, is in a state of their own. The Yao-Mike combination can indeed complete the scoring. But it can't drive teammates at all.

The score at 21:27 in the first quarter did not correctly reflect the performance of the two sides in the first quarter. The two superstars Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady worked hard to keep the point difference from reaching double digits.

In order to trade for McGrady, the Mosaic team sent Francis, Mobley, and Cato away, and at the same time took Howard's premium contract, which made the team's lineup extremely unbalanced.With Alexander, the luxury tax insulator, it was extremely difficult for the Mosaic team to score points from the bench. Three minutes into the second quarter, only Juwan Howard scored two points from a mid-range shot. The Lakers opened the point difference to two. After a few minutes, Van Gundy replaced McGrady again to lead the bench to counterattack.

McGrady lived up to expectations. After his debut, he fired shots from mid-to-long distances one after another, scoring five points in a row, bringing the point difference back to 6 points.

This time, Kobe couldn't sit still.Seeing Kobe's fighting spirit, Ke Yan didn't stop him. He just told him a few words, Tomjanovich also said a few words, and then replaced Kobe and Butler.

After his debut, Kobe singled McGrady in a low post, and made a breakthrough after changing directions continuously past his opponent. Unfortunately, Mutombo fanned out of bounds for the subsequent throw.

Many fans of the Mosaic team used "Mutombo is Yao Ming's only substitute" to complain that the Mosaic team is really stingy and not willing to spend money.But at least this season, Uncle Mu can still make use of him as a backup center.With plenty of physical strength, Mutombo's defensive effect is even better than that of Anderson, the main insider of the Lakers.
