Super All-around Point Guard

Last season, the Lakers were the bottom team in the league. Even with the addition of Xie Chen, everyone's expectations for the Lakers this season are generally not high. It would be okay if they were in the East. In the West, where there are many strong teams, it seems that There is really no hope of a breakout.

The Lakers' goal for this season, including coach Walton, is to enter the playoffs, but Xie Chen feels that just entering the playoffs is not enough. If they continue to finish eighth as they did last season, Entering the playoffs, maybe they will meet the Warriors in the first round. The Warriors' invincible team is not the Toronto Raptors. Xie Chen currently has no confidence in beating the Warriors, so he still has to try his best to get a better ranking. Moreover, Xie Chen last season Curry has already robbed him of a regular season MVP. One of his goals this season is to regain the MVP, so the team's record is very important.

CCTV, host Yang Jiandao: "Welcome everyone to watch the first opening game of the 2016-2017 NBA season. What we will broadcast today is the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Houston Rockets at home. The Lakers have always been a team that Chinese fans are very familiar with and love. During the Kobe Bryant era, The Lakers once represented the youth of our generation, but now the Lakers have changed their owner, and he is Xie Chen, who has won two consecutive championships. The game will start soon. Let us ask Yang Yi to tell you about the changes in the league this season. In addition , today will also be Zhou Qi’s NBA debut.”

Yang Yi said: "Yes, this is also the Rockets' first game. Zhou Qi will appear in this game, but he will not be the starter, so audience friends have to wait patiently. This offseason is destined to be unstable, with various There are endless transfer news. Xie Chen transferred to the Lakers. This is already surprising. Who knew that Durant actually chose to join the Warriors! Including Wade, who has been with the Heat for 13 years, also left his loyal team for many years. Team, I think the NBA has officially entered a new era. In the past, superstars had to stay with one team to win championships, such as Jordan and Kobe. But since LeBron James started this trend, superstars have become The team has become a very normal thing. I think that in Ingram's era in the future, this form will be more popular and everyone will choose a way that is easier to succeed. Of course, except Xie Chen, he is different from others. Likewise, when other stars change teams, they join forces with giants, and they hug each other. If he is weak, I will go with him. If you are strong, I will not be willing to partner with you."

Yang Jian interjected at this time: "But most of the current strong teams in the league are composed of two or three superstars. Do you think Xie Chen's Lakers have the possibility of winning the championship?"

Yang Yi smiled and said: "In the NBA, nothing is impossible. At the beginning of last season, who would have thought that the New York Knicks would win the championship? Who would have thought that Xie Chen would defeat the 73-win Warriors? For I don’t dare to predict the future of the Lakers. After all, they haven’t played a single game yet. It will take a while. I think it will be more objective to evaluate the Lakers. Xie Chen still has a magical side, and I heard that he has hidden abilities. , However, I feel that this season is completely hopeless for the Rockets. The Houston Rockets re-signed a contract with James Harden to keep him in the Rockets. After Howard left, they brought in Nene, Ryan Anderson, E Rick Gordon, but judging from the current lineup, they will definitely not achieve a high ranking in the regular season. If they enter the playoffs, it will be difficult to beat anyone in the first round."

Yang Yi is still very pessimistic about the Rockets' prospects. In fact, as far as the current situation in the Western Conference is concerned, the Rockets' chances of winning the championship are really slim after experiencing such changes.

The game started soon. The Lakers' starting lineup was: Xie Chen, Ingram, Luol Deng, Randle, Mozgov. The Rockets' starting lineup was Beverley, James Harden, Ariza, Anderson and Nene. .

As soon as the game started, fans all over the Internet started to cheer.

"After waiting for nearly five months, I can finally watch Xie Chen show off again!"

"I bet Xie Chen will score more than 50 points in this game, and he will sprint as fast as he can!"

"His speed is no longer a secret, and it is certain to be used. Guessing Xie Chen's score is not as good as guessing Ingram's score. If this kid is really a piece of material, then we can look forward to the Lakers this season."

"Why is the screen full of Xie Chen! Didn't anyone mention my bearded brother Deng? I heard that he trained hard during the offseason!"

"Do you want us to mention the nightclub incident where Ha asked his younger brother to go to the nightclub to rob Malone? Just because Malone said on Twitter that Harden's training camp is too expensive?"

"You can never guard against Curry's three-pointer, James' two-pointer, and Harden's one-pointer."

"... Let's continue talking about Xie Chen!"

At the Staples Center, the game has officially begun. The Rockets jumped to get the ball. Harden dribbled the ball calmly, still as calm and steady as before. Every star will practice hard in the offseason, but Harden's training is far less diligent than that of Curry James and others, because he has been in a situation where he is not competitive for the championship for a long time. The closest he came to the championship in the Rockets was the Western Conference Finals, and even the Finals. He didn't make it, so his desire for the championship is far less than that of people like Curry who have played in the finals, but it can't be said that Harden has no ambition at all. Now he is the team's ace superstar, and he wants to be the scorer this season. King and MVP.

James Harden's step-back shot was still accurate, and he hit a jumper as soon as he came up.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the fans at the scene also began to cheer, hoping to see Xie Chen, the league's number one player, as soon as possible. However, Xie Chen did not intend to score by himself when he came up. There is no doubt that this Lakers team is Xie Chen's team is by himself, and no accident, Xie Chen will definitely become the league's scoring leader this season. However, in the first game, he still wants to hone the rookie Ingram more, and Xie Chen has previously Chen Jing planned to make Ingram's debut outstanding and score at least 20 points.

A simple cooperation between Xie Chen and Ingram. After Ingram received the ball, he shot directly from the mid-range. Unexpectedly, Ingram hit the ball directly in his first shot!

"Hit on the first shot! This is Ingram's first score in the NBA! It is estimated that many fans and friends are not familiar with this player. He is the second pick in this NBA and is a player with great potential and talent. Players." Yang Jian introduced.

Hitting the target on his first shot was something Ingram didn't expect. After the hit, Ingram smiled gratefully at Xie Chen. This kind of cooperation was not a temporary initiative between the two on the court, but last night. I trained a lot when I was there, and when Ingram shot this time, he was basically not disturbed. Ingram's mentality was also very good, so it was successful.

This is a good start, but hitting the first ball easily does not mean that the next road will be easy. Ingram knows that the road ahead is still difficult.

Ingram got a lot of opportunities at the beginning of the game. Halfway through the first quarter, he turned out to be the highest scoring player on the team, which surprised many people.

Yang Jiandao: "Ingram is in good shape today. If he keeps playing like this, it shouldn't be a problem for him to score 30 points in his NBA debut, right?"

Yang Yi said: "Yes, Ingram is tall and has long arms and can shoot accurately. He is regarded as a replica of Durant. In addition, Xie Chen intends to let Ingram score today. I think Ingram's debut statistics will be very good." , I am afraid it will surpass Simmons, the No. 1 pick. Last season, Porzingis, who was selected fourth overall, was trained by Xie Chen to become the best rookie. I think Ingram will be better than Porzingis last season. Si is even more amazing.”

Ingram's score made the Lakers fans at the scene excited. This is the future of the Lakers! Even Kobe, who was sitting on the sidelines, nodded frequently and seemed very satisfied with the rookie.

However, when the Rockets discovered that the Lakers were interested in training this rookie kid, their defense against Ingram also became stronger, and they switched to Ariza to guard him. Ariza first used huge defensive pressure to force Ingram to stop the ball. , and then made him pass the ball wrong. After that, he directly stole the ball from Ingram, and then succeeded in the fast break.

"Ingram is still too young. A rookie is a rookie."

"If you can't handle this level of defense, how can we expect Ingram to compete with the Warriors in the playoffs? Hurry up and work hard, Ingram!"

It can be seen that the successive mistakes also made Ingram feel depressed. Xie Chen felt that it was nothing. Whether he was intercepted or blocked, mistakes were always inevitable. Fortunately, they still There's a whole season for Ingram to improve.

Harden was in good condition today and kept scoring goals. Gradually, the Rockets had a tendency to expand the score. In order to prevent the score from getting too big and affecting the team's confidence in chasing points, Xie Chen had to take action. After continuous changes of direction, he got rid of Beverley's defense, shot a three-pointer, and hit the ball!

"Oh my God, it's so easy to watch Xie Chen score one-on-one! He just got rid of it and scored a goal. As long as there is only one person in front of Xie Chen, I have no doubt about the result of this goal."

"Yes, Xie Chen scored as if for fun, and the three-point shooting posture was also very casual, not the Curry-style shooting before."

Xie Chen's scoring, in everyone's opinion, was very casual and easy. After all, Xie Chen's scoring ability has been fully demonstrated in the past two seasons, and for this three-pointer, Xie Chen had no ability to use the system at all. Stephen Curry's three-point ability and McGrady's three-point ability are useless. Facing Beverley, in the first game of the regular season, there is no need. He used his own ability.

It is also the third season for Xie Chen to enter the NBA. Since he obtained the system ability, Xie Chen has not completely relied on the system ability and neglected training. In the past two seasons, his training has been no less than any other player. In addition, he has His shooting is one of his strengths, and it's easy to hit a three-pointer.

In the second quarter, Zhou Qi, who was highly anticipated by Chinese basketball fans, finally played!

Yang Jian said excitedly: "Zhou Qi is finally on the court! He also carries the hope of Chinese basketball. Everyone hopes that he can establish a foothold in the Rockets and NBA like Yao Ming and become an excellent main player. Today is his dream Let’s start, let’s bless and look forward to it together.”

After Zhou Qi came on the field, even in the away game in Los Angeles, there were Chinese fans holding signs to cheer for Zhou Qi. Xie Chen and Zhou Qi had also met in China, and they knew how hard it was for yellow people to play here. Zhou Qi came on the field. Finally, Xie Chen also stretched out his hand to encourage Zhou Qi.

However, this friendly high-five does not mean that Xie Chen will give in to Zhou Qi.

Xie Chen would never let go of a new rookie...

In Zhou Qi's first defense after coming on the court, Xie Chen rushed in and reached the inside. Then facing Zhou Qi, he ended the attack with a dunk!

"Dunked! Xie Chen dunked!"

The fans at the scene were also excited. Everyone had been waiting for Xie Chen, the dunk king, to perform a dunk. However, Xie Chen didn't seem to be in a passionate state in this game. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Qi came on the stage, Xie Chen thought Played up.

Zhou Qi reached out to interfere with Xie Chen, but he did not defend very strongly. After Xie Chen successfully dunked, he patted Zhou Qi in a friendly manner, and then said to him the words he would say every time he played against rookies: "Welcome. Come to the NBA."

"Uh." Zhou Qi was a little confused. He was already nervous. Who knew that as soon as he came up, Xie Chen would dunk. He was really scared when he was defending.

In fact, Xie Chen still didn't have the ability to use the system during this dunk. It could be seen that Zhou Qi was indeed very nervous.

Zhou Qi and Lakers rookie Ingram both have a common problem, which is that their thin bodies are slightly insufficient for physical confrontation. Ingram is okay, he is an outside player and can shoot from outside, but Zhou Qi is so tall and tall. You're so tall, you can't play outside, right? In addition to having a good shooting hand, a player of this height must make physical confrontation strong.

After Zhou Qi came on the court, the ball was immediately passed to him. Now that the Rockets are leading, Zhou Qi can also play appropriately. After all, Ingram over there has made many shots.

After Zhou Qi made a few shaking movements, he also took a close shot, but missed. Although he missed the first shot, fortunately, Zhou Qi was very active and rushed to the basket to grab the rebound as soon as possible. He really grabbed the ball. When Zhou Qi wanted to make a tip-in, he was pulled down by Xie Chen. The referee blew the whistle and Xie Chen sent Zhou Qi to the free throw line.

Zhou Qi made two free throws, thanks to Xie Chen. As a rookie, he also scored less than a minute after coming on the court.

The half ended quickly, and the Lakers were still 10 points behind. Although they had the strongest player in the league, Xie Chen, the Lakers' game seemed to be no different from last season. The Lakers still did not reflect the status of any strong team. and breath.

However, all this will become different in the second half.
