Legend of Tomorrow

Lori was completely beaten by Guo Xu, his shortcomings were constantly exposed, and his strengths were unable to be used.

Lowry's height and wingspan are not outstanding in the NBA, and his strength is enough to withstand power forwards. His weight this year is close to 95 kilograms, which results in slow lateral movement. He got a headache when he saw Guo Xu counterattacking. When he was close, Guo Xu would change direction and use his speed to get rid of him. When he was far away, Guo Xu met him and shot a three-pointer.

In the first quarter, Guo Xu made 4 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 5 assists and 1 steal. Lowry made 1 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 2 points and 2 assists.

This is not like a competition between star point guards, but more like a superstar torturing a rookie. Lowry's style of play is destined to suffer when he faces star point guards. Players who are good at breaking out and shooting are not bad against him.

Lori was miserable today. He couldn't beat Guo Xu with his strength, so it was difficult for him to successfully break through. Without a breakthrough, Luo Rui is just an ordinary role player and cannot drive his teammates.

Barkley commented: Although I can see Jason resisting big men every season, his defense against Lowry still surprises me. Maybe this is the application of Chinese Kung Fu on the court?

Kenny Smith asked: Shaquille, have you ever seen him practice kung fu? How good is he?

O'Neill smiled and said: I've seen it before, it's like the feeling in the movie. He is faster and stronger than Bruce Lee. He can really beat 10 people with his bare hands. The people in the taekwondo team also know it. If you can use your legs, Mei Weiser can't beat him, Mayweather admits it himself.

The fans were bored listening to the one-sided game commentary, and the commentator's gossip made them even more excited. The ratings of TNT's live broadcast surpassed that of other TV stations, which is related to O'Neal knowing a lot of inside information.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent out a super luxurious rotation lineup, Felton, Wade, Carter, Tucker, and Harrell.

The Lakers' veterans have all been selected to the All-Stars and have rich experience. Tucker is a 3D player, and second-year rookie Harrell has the strongest physical fitness. Today, Robertson and Zubac are the blue-collar perimeter defenders.

The Rockets' bench is very shabby, with many players that ordinary fans can't name, led by Lou Williams. Power forward Terrence Jones is strong offensively and weak defensively, Sam Dekker and Corey Brewer are unstable in shooting, and their abilities are only average.

Because of the butterfly effect, Nene, who was supposed to be in the Rockets, joined the 76ers, Tucker and Harrell joined the Lakers, and Beverley joined the Heat. Not only are the Rockets missing Harden, they will not be able to make the playoffs this season.

The backup center is a first-round pick selected by the Rockets named Jakob Poeltl.

Sounds like a family of werewolves from The Twilight Zone. He is a bit longer than when he was drafted, with a height of 216cm and a weight of 108kg. He is an inside man with good athletic ability and relatively good potential.

It's a pity that Jacob has no shooting range, which means that he cannot beat the orc Harrell, who is stronger than him, and is always blocked outside the penalty area. When the Lakers launched a quick counterattack, it was impossible for Jacob to beat Harrell by running.

After Guo Xu rested, Felton could also launch a quick counterattack. He is called Fatton by fans. He is 185cm tall, weighs 93kg and has a round body. Like Lowry, he uses his weight to his advantage and isn't slow either. Even if his physical fitness is declining now, he can still keep up with the rhythm of the game, so Terry has little chance to play.

Lu Wei is not a point guard who is good at organizing offenses. He is more like a shooting guard and likes to take the ball and go to it himself. The Rockets' bench lacked organizers and could not execute tactics. The rotation lineup was suppressed by the Lakers, who scored more points. The point difference quickly widened to more than 30 points.

In the second half, the main players came back and played a wave. The Lakers led 78 to 36 by 42 points at halftime.

In the opening game, the Lakers players all defended seriously, and the Rockets failed to score more than 20 points in two consecutive quarters. After Adams and Horford came on the court, Rockets players simply couldn't get into the penalty area.

The two complement each other on the defensive end, with Horford responsible for guarding pick-and-rolls, and Adams interfering with shots in the penalty area and protecting backcourt rebounds.

Horford was injured many times in the Thunder and his condition declined for a while. Partnering with Guo Xu last season, he was relatively relaxed on the offensive end. He played basketball for a season to maintain his health. This year, he is back to his peak and his mobility has become stronger.

Adams has no shortcomings on the defensive end except for his slower movement speed. He does not jump around and will block the opponent's use of height and wingspan to interfere with shooting. He can control the number of fouls and his ability to protect backcourt rebounds is top-notch. The Lakers don't need him to give rebounds to defenders, they need him to grab rebounds and pass them.

On the offensive end, Horford opens up the space. Adams and the defender pick and roll and then cut. If his teammates cannot make a shot, he may rush to grab the offensive rebound. If there is a mismatch opportunity, he can catch the ball and directly attack the basket.

Adams played 18 minutes, made 5 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, which was better than his entire game with the Wizards.

Guo Xu played 18 minutes, making 8 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 23 points and 10 assists, posting a double-double. Durant made 7 of 9 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.

In the first half, the three of them were more like the Big Three, with explosive scoring efficiency.

Rockets core Lowry felt tortured on the court. He only scored 2 points and 3 assists on 1 of 6 shots, and was stunned by Guo Xu's defense.

Gordon was the Rockets' best performer, making 5 of 11 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. If it weren't for his performance, the Rockets' overall statistics would be even worse.

When Carter and Booker are on the court together, the Lakers' wing defense is not strong enough, and the coaching staff does not intend to make up for this weakness. They prefer to rely on offense to defeat opponents.

They had this kind of routine last season, and they just have to get serious about defense when they enter the playoffs.

In the second half, the Lakers sent all substitutes for training, Felton, Booker, Robertson, Berstein, and Zubac.

This lineup is still very strong. The two can open up space outside the three-point line. Felton is responsible for breaking through with the ball and playing pick-and-roll with Zubac. Robertson's defense on the wing is not bad either.

Wade and Harrell also played for a while as rotations in the final quarter. Today, except for Bogut and Terry, who were not included in the roster, all Lakers players scored.

Bogut sprained his knee in the preseason. It was not serious, so the coaching staff let him nurse. Bogut is a glass man, with constant injuries and only one full season. His reduced playing time is good for the team and him personally.

In the end, the Lakers won 137-78, beating the Rockets by 59 points.

It was really tragic that the opening game ended like this, and all the Rockets players were dejected when they left the court. This is all the result of the Lakers not doing their best. In the second half, the Rockets' weaker substitutes scored more points than the starters.

After the game, the media unanimously recognized the strength of the Lakers, believing that even if they cannot win a complete victory this season, they can still hit the best record in the regular season. They look too strong.

Some fans online also expressed dissatisfaction, saying that it was not a good thing for the Lakers to force themselves into this situation.

First of all, the star's playing time will definitely be shortened. If Guo Xu and Durant's playing time is less than 30 minutes, they will not be able to produce very good data.

Secondly, the game is not fun to watch if there is no suspense at all. Who would like a game after three quarters?

Fans of other teams began to boycott the Lakers, hoping they would break up as soon as possible. There are more fans who hate Durant. His joining the Lakers is the main reason for the widening gap in strength. At least a few teams were able to compete with the Lakers last season.

Durant felt uncomfortable seeing the unfavorable evaluation, but he did not regret his decision in the summer. At least with the Lakers, he would definitely win the championship.
