The Pope of Basketball Community

Basketball Pope 452, Chapter 452 [Drug combination, full firepower! 】-567 Chinese tnt radio station and China cctv5 broadcast this game live. Now the Lakers are China’s home team.

Since Yao Ming did not play in the preseason, Zhang Lili explained the situation to the fans before the game. "Yang Rui said in an interview before the game that it was to protect Yao Ming and give him a full rest, so he was not allowed to play in the preseason. He will definitely start today."

Partner Yu Jia said: "I hope Yao Ming can play more time. The Lakers' interior lineup is very luxurious this season. He has to share playing time with Rasheed Wallace and Odom. Diop's defense was also good in the preseason."

Not only Chinese commentators, but fans are also worried. The Lakers' inside line looks stronger than the Knicks. In this case, how much time can Yao Ming get?

On tnt radio, Kenny Smith is concerned about how many points the Lakers can score. "Every time Yang Rui leads the team in the opening game, he slaughters his opponents. If the Lakers can beat the Nuggets who made it to the second round last season today, it will be a great morale boost."

Barkley smiled: "It's difficult. I'm more curious about how Yao Ming will perform. If he plays well with the Lakers, Larry Brown will be embarrassed."

Chinese fans became excited when the players came out because Yao Ming was second to last, second only to Kobe.

According to the rules of the order of players' appearances, the more core they are, the more they will play in the finale. This shows that in Yang Rui's system, Yao Ming is the core of the team after Kobe.

Rasheed and Odom have no objections to this point. They can't win against Yao. Yao Ming's role is more obvious when practicing tactics, and he is extremely powerful on the offensive end.

Now, Lakers players also feel that Larry Brown is not worthy of his reputation, and Yao Ming's overall strength is much better than Ben Wallace.

The starting players come on stage, the five Lakers: Damon Jones, Kobe Bryant, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Yao Ming.

Nuggets five: Andre Miller, Hamilton, Anthony, the antonym of outsiders - Hilario, Camby.

Camby won the jump ball and the game was on.

The Lakers adopted the simplest defensive strategy, a zone defense blocking the penalty area, with Yao Ming and Rasheed on the bottom line.

Camby gave Miller a pick-and-roll in the middle and went to the left. Yao Ming changed his defense and used his height to cover Miller, making it difficult for him to make an emergency stop jump shot. Miller broke inside and Yao Ming followed him back to the baseline without losing his position. .

Miller turned around and distributed the ball to the middle. Iguodala stood in the middle and stayed close to Camby, preventing him from taking a shot.

Camby passed the ball to Hamilton who was on the move. The latter relied on Hilario to break free and hit a three-pointer with a 70-degree catch from the right side. 0 to 3.

Hamilton's improvement in strength was forced. The Nuggets lack three-point shooters and need him and Anthony to shoot three-pointers. Miller's shooting is average and he can no longer practice three-pointers.

The person responsible for the defense on the right side is Jones. He is 191cm tall and is very difficult to defend if he is blocked by the screen.

When the Lakers attacked, Jones dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe in the middle, and then ran to the left.

Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll in the middle to get rid of Hamilton, broke through to the left, attracted Camby to switch defense, and passed the ball to the middle.

Kobe made a generous pass at the beginning, and he could also shoot from the middle. Yao Ming was much better than Medvedenko. The former is only 208cm tall and rarely shoots when someone is in front of him. Yao Ming is 226cm tall and can shoot accurately when facing defenders.

Hamilton took a step after Kobe, but it was too late to turn around and interfere with Yao Ming's shot. Yao Ming took the shot as soon as he tipped his toes. It took Hamilton time to jump, and the ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net hollowly. 2 to 3.

When returning to defense, Yao Ming and Kobe clapped their hands.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "Good shot, the Lakers' first two points came from the cooperation of Kobe and Yao Ming."

Yu Jia said: "If Yao Ming and Kobe play more pick-and-roll cooperation, this year's data should be improved a lot."

The Nuggets' offense was very simple. Anthony picked up the ball on the right side and singled out Jones, then made a probing jumper. 2 to 5.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe played a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming again.

This time he broke through to the left to widen the distance, dribbled the ball under his right hand to change direction with his left hand, passed Camby with the change of rhythm, and scored a layup. 4 to 5.

The Nuggets attack, Anthony takes the ball from the right and easily faces the frame. The Lakers still use Jones as the main defense, and Anthony makes another pull-up and hits the net. 4 to 7.

Yang Rui emphasized offensive tactics before the game, and the defensive end must be slowly adjusted. Hollins was responsible for guiding the defense and talked a lot about rotations, double-teaming, and assisting defense routines, but the players did not implement them well.

Damon Jones has an obvious role on the offensive end. Not only can he shoot, he is also good at passing inside, so he won the starting position. But his defense is not worth mentioning, his speed is not fast, and he is easily passed by the opponent's defender. In Yang Rui's previous life, after Jones joined the Cavaliers, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown would rather start Eric Snow, who was unable to shoot accurately and was injured, because his defense was too poor.

Iguodala is only good at single defense now and has average help defense awareness. Otherwise, he can let Camby go in the middle to double-team Anthony.

Yang Rui is not anxious at all because he believes that the Lakers offense is better than the Nuggets.

Jones brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe, and then ran to the left corner. There were people in both corners. The Nuggets could not use zone defense and could only man-to-man. Otherwise, the pass to the bottom line defender would be misplaced.

Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll in the middle. Camby defended farther outside, and Yao Ming made a cut.

Kobe passed the ball to the center from close range. Yao Ming received the ball with his back and turned to the basket with a long stride. He ignored Hamilton's defense and dunked the basketball with one hand! 6 to 7.

With strong teammates like Kobe and Rasheed around him to attract defense, opponents naturally couldn't double-team Yao Ming, so he showed off his flexible footsteps. Although Yao Ming's footsteps are not as fancy as "Big Dream", his spinning top is not like a 226cm high center. The combination of shooting and footsteps is the reason why he became the number one pick. Teams are not only optimistic about the Chinese market. .

The Nuggets attacked, and when Anthony received the ball from the right again, Rasheed came out from the baseline and double-teamed him with Jones. This choice is very smart. Although Hilario has shooting ability, he generally does not take shots far away from the basket. He attaches great importance to shooting percentage.

Anthony protected the basketball with his back and passed it to Hamilton, who was cutting inside from the right baseline. Yao Ming made up the defense.

Hamilton couldn't find any space to shoot, so he relied on Yao Ming to go around from the left and passed the ball to Miller who was running.

Miller caught the ball at a 50-degree angle and Kobe jumped up nearby to interfere. The ball went wide and Yao Ming got the rebound.

After Yao Ming landed, he passed the ball to Kobe. Since it was a zone defense system, mismatches would immediately occur on the court if the shot missed. Kobe quickly got down with the ball, pulled the ball inside the three-point line, and leaned against Miller to force a layup and was caught.

Miller is a well-known strong point guard. He is 191cm tall and weighs 91 kilograms. However, Kobe is not strong enough to guard him. He weighs 99 kilograms and is not at a disadvantage in confrontation. He is very fast and taller.

Kobe made two solid free throws and overtook the score, 8-7.

When the Nuggets attacked, Hamilton relied on a ball-free screen to catch the ball, attracting Rasheed to switch defenses and then lobbed to Hilario who was cutting through the air. The latter caught the ball and went to the basket for a one-handed dunk. Yao Ming defended in time. His judgment was accurate and he blocked Hilario's dunk with a slap from the front.

Rasheed picked up the basketball and passed it to Jones, who passed half court to Kobe.

Kobe received the ball from the right, feinted outside the three-point line and then suddenly moved to the right. He relied on Hamilton to force his way to the basket. After attracting Camby to defend, he distributed the ball to the center from close range.

Yao Ming caught the ball in the penalty area, ignored Camby's turn and interfered, and gently put the ball into the basket with one hand from close range. 10 to 7.

The "drug-taking combination"'s opening attack is unstoppable and full of firepower!
