The game between the Lakers and Celtics officially begins.
The Lakers starting lineup is:
Point guard Atkins, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Caron Butler, power forward Lamar Odom, center Chris Mihm.
The Celtics starting lineup is:
Point guard Delonte West, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Al Jefferson, center Darko Milicic.
Fisher actively requested not to start in this game. After all, he has stayed here for nearly ten years and has too much affection for this place.
Fisher thought that no one would care about such an insignificant person, but he didn't expect that a banner would be erected at the Lakers' home court that read: Derek, this is your forever home!
The big screen above has been playing classic scenes of Fisher's Lakers games, including Fisher's one-second classic buzzer beater against the Spurs.
Fisher is a relatively reserved person, but even so, his eyes were still moist. Kobe took the initiative to come over and hug Fisher. During the hug, he said to Fisher in his ear: "This is our ball."
Team, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
Fisher and Kobe are both from the 1996 generation and have been together since the beginning of entering the league. Fisher may not have experienced as much as Kobe. Kobe first came to the Lakers because Van Exel couldn't stand Buss' treatment of him.
He doted on Kobe, yelled at him, and was kicked out by Buss. Then he saw the huge potential in Kobe and resolutely traded Eddie Jones. Then he chose Kobe between Kobe and O'Neal.
, traded with O'Neal, not to mention the two veteran All-Stars Karl Malone and Payton in the middle. Kobe has been fighting with everyone, and Fisher has always been so inconspicuous, regardless of appearance or figure.
, there was nothing praiseworthy about his skills, but after leaving him, Kobe felt more lonely than ever before. After leaving O'Neal, he only needed to work hard to rebuild, but he left a friend who was in tune with his soul.
, this is what Kobe does not want to see, which is why Fisher was recalled later in history. There is no shortage of technical players like Fisher in the league, but for Kobe, including for Phil?
As far as Jackson is concerned, Fisher only has one Ming Wang.
After greeting Fisher, Kobe went over to greet Eddie Jones. Kobe said to Eddie Jones: "Thank you, Eddie, you taught me so much."
In fact, Eddie Jones was traded away because of Kobe's rapid growth, and he has been away from the All-Star since then. But this is the relationship between men, just because of his own lack of strength. There is no resentment.
Then Kobe greeted Pierce, Milicic and others one by one. When they arrived at West, West went over with great expectations and said to Kobe: "I really like your game..."
As a result, Kobe turned around and walked away. He never liked to look at these little people in the eyes. In his opinion, West was like an ant. This also made West take a breath. He said to Tony Allen
Said: "Tony, hand Kobe to me in a minute. I want him to know the price of underestimating me."
Rivers shook his head and said to West: "You can try for one round, but I really don't think highly of you." After that, he told the other four people that Kobe should pay attention to assisting defense when he passed by. The current Lakers really have
This is the only point of threat.
After the opening, Milicic and Chris Mihm competed for the ball. Mihm's body is considered good among white people, but Milicic has the best physical fitness among white people. The ball was directly passed to Milicic.
On our own side, West has the ball.
Atkins is a player who is not very good at defense. Therefore, the pressure on West is not strong. West directly broke through after a single screen from Al Jefferson. Look at Odo again.
Mim's positioning was not good and Mim's movement was not that fast. West rushed directly to the basket and wanted to dunk with both hands. You must know that West has never had the experience of dunking in the NBA before. It was not easy for him to do so today.
Of course, if you get a chance to start, you have to do it ruthlessly.
Just when West saw that no one in front of him was trying to slam the ball into the basket, a figure flew over and the ball was slapped out of West's hand and hit the backboard. It bounced off and was caught by Odo
Mu got it in his hand.
During the slow-motion replay, I saw Kobe dropping Pierce, who was guarding him, and getting out of the diagonal stab. His bullet speed was extremely fast. He obviously took off after West, but his height in the air was much higher.
For West, West gave him a hard hat from behind.
West got up from the ground and quickly went back to defend. Fortunately, the Lakers' advancement was not fast. Odom did not hand the ball to Atkins, but dribbled it to the frontcourt. This guy simply
It's not like a power forward. Seeing him dribbling like a little man, no wonder some people say he is Magician II, Milicic sighed in his heart.
The Lakers slowly advanced to the frontcourt. The current Lakers are one of the few teams in the league that insists on playing position without a strong inside line. Rivers doesn't know what they are relying on to dare to do this.
Odom dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kobe and started running. After Kobe caught the ball, West quickly followed him out. Kobe held the ball in both hands and said to West face to face: "You
Are you sure you can defend me alone?"
West smiled contemptuously and said, "Do you think you still need help from others?"
Kobe said to West as if he heard a very interesting joke: "I hope that one day when you retire, you can remember today. Remember that someone taught you a lesson today and told you young people not to be so arrogant."
As he spoke, Kobe began to lower his center of gravity, and his dribbling hand moved closer to the ground. There was not even much distance between the ball and the ground. West knew that as long as he stretched out his hand, he would definitely be passed, so he told himself to be cautious.
The man is Kobe.
Kobe suddenly dribbled faster and took a step forward, knocking West half of his body. West did not expect that he could be so fast and hurriedly turned around to follow him, but at this time Kobe moved backward.
With one jump, he stood just outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.
With such a hasty shot, West shouted "Rebound!" But Kobe didn't give the Celtics any chance to grab the rebound at all. The ball went directly into the basket. As soon as the game started, the Lakers took the lead and won 3-0.
Leading. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please come and read.)
