The Knicks attack, the Lakers defend, Yao Ming himself is on the bottom line, and the other four take turns.

This defensive system is effective against the Suns. The Knicks only have two starters who can shoot three-pointers. One of them is Marbury, who is responsible for holding the ball and attacking, and cannot open up space.

After two passes, Hughes broke through and was double-teamed near the penalty area. Iguodala directly reached out and stabbed the basketball away from behind.

Rasheed picked up the basketball and passed it to Kobe Bryant. The latter started a fast break, attracted Richardson's defense, and brought it to the frontcourt to pass Iguodala. The latter took a step and rushed to the basket with the ball in his arms, creating a game like playing rugby. Hughes fouled.

Hughes is 196cm tall and weighs only 85kg. He is too thin and can defend against ordinary swingmen, but he will suffer a lot against Iguodala, who has such strong impact.

Iguodala made one of two free throws, 3-0.

With the second free throw, the Lakers players are guaranteed to retreat. Once the Knicks are down, the Knicks have nothing to do.

Marbury singled out Mo Williams, and his jump shot missed the basket with one step inside the three-point line. Yao Ming won the rebound.

In the Lakers position battle, Kobe relied on the screen to catch the ball on the left side. Rasheed passed the ball without adding assists, but he relied on his height advantage to send it from the opponent's head to the basket, and there would be no mistakes at all.

Hughes caught up with Kobe. His speed was his advantage, but Kobe was also taller than Hughes. He took a step forward and cut to Yao Ming in the low post on the left.

When encountering a team with no height inside, Yao Ming will no longer be a three-point shooter on the outside. He turned his back to Ben and turned to the middle, using his height advantage to hook the ball. But Ben was squeezed and unable to take off quickly, so he scored another one. 5 to 0.

Yao Ming's face was expressionless when he returned to defense, and he didn't have any celebrations. He was very energetic when he played against the Knicks last season, and today's scoring is already taken for granted.

In the team, he used to practice hook shots against Diop and Rashid, two big men with height and wingspan. Now he is playing against Big Ben and feels no pressure in his shots.

Yes, looking at the data, Ben is better in rebounding and blocking shots than the Lakers' two big men, but in terms of frame protection, Ben is actually not as good as Diop. In Yang Rui's previous life, he could have relied on Guy O'Neal to boast for a lifetime. Now that he has not joined the Pistons, he has not even shown up for that shot.

The Knicks attacked, and Ben was released after the outside screen. The Lakers players made up the defense nearby, preventing Marbury and Richardson from getting an easy shot. Hughes and Davis failed to break through in the pick-and-roll, and the ball was distributed to the center. Davis missed the shot due to Kobe's interference, and Yao Ming easily picked up the rebound, the second one.

The Lakers' position battle still used the same tactics. Yao Ming took the ball on the left, leaned back twice, turned around and hooked in the middle, and hit the ball with great force. 7 to 0.

Big Ben's prediction was correct. He knew he was going to turn to the middle, but he couldn't catch him when he followed.

Jackson was still sitting on the sidelines as usual, letting the players play freely. If he hadn't kept his eyes open, someone would have thought he was asleep.

Marbury broke through the pick-and-roll and was double-teamed. The ball was distributed in the middle. Ben was completely freed after the pick-and-roll. Yao Ming even retreated to the basket, three steps away, because he was facing Ben and would not be called for a three-second violation.

His teammates were being guarded. Ben took aim and chose a mid-range shot. The ball went wide. Yao Ming easily picked up the rebound, the third one.

CCTV5's Zhang Lili said: "Ben doesn't have to worry about the offensive end at all. He doesn't dare to hold the ball and rush to the basket. Yao Ming is waiting there. He is really blocked!"

Yu Jia laughed and said: "Back then, Ben was elected to the All-Stars and Yao Ming was the substitute. It's incredible now. I wonder if Larry Brown will pay attention to Yao Ming's games at home. It is said that he is in poor health and rarely goes out. No reporter interviewed him, so I don’t know what he thinks.”

Coincidentally, TNT radio was also discussing this issue. Barkley joked: "Brown lives in Philadelphia now and is afraid to go to New York. When he goes to New York, he has to put on makeup first. If he is recognized, some fans may throw shoes at him."

At this time, the Lakers completed another offense. Yao Ming was in the low post to attract double teams and score the ball. Rasheed missed the open three-pointer, but Yao Mingxing was still under the basket.

Using his height advantage to push the ball out again, Iguodala picked up the basketball and passed it to Mo Williams for secondary organization.

Yao Ming moved to the right to catch the ball in the low post. Davis couldn't double-team this time. The only way to do it was by Richardson and Marbury.

Yao Ming got a one-on-one opportunity, turned to the baseline and shot backwards, avoiding the big block and hitting another one. 9 to 0.

Yao Ming made 4 of 4 shots in the opening game, and Jackson had no intention of calling a timeout. The Knicks' substitute interior strength is even worse. He can't imagine what kind of abuse he will get from Yao Ming if he lets rookie Bynum come up. If his confidence is lost after being beaten, it will be difficult to cultivate him in the future. Kwame Brown That's the example.

When the Knicks attacked, they still looked for opportunities from the outside. The four Lakers took turns to interfere with the shots. Richardson missed a three-pointer from the corner, Yao Ming was stuck, and Kobe Bryant grabbed the rebound.

In the Lakers' position battle, Mo Williams brought the ball to the front and continued to pass to Rasheed on the left. Kobe's running route did not change at all. It's just that this time, Hughes was blocked by Yao Ming and failed to catch up with Kobe. Ben Wallace was thinking about how to guard Yao Ming in the middle, but he didn't change his defense.

Kobe caught the ball and stepped out of the three-point line, hitting a ball at 50 degrees with no interference, 12-0.

When returning to defense, Kobe made a celebration gesture of blowing a gun, getting excited.

The Knicks attacked, Marbury dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and suddenly made a three-pointer in the middle. He avoided Xiao Mo's block, but the ball still didn't go in. Yao Ming got stuck, and Iguodala retreated and grabbed it. Backcourt rebound.

Marbury was in a bad mood. When he returned to New York, not only did he fail to lead his hometown team to rise, he was also said to be a cancer. Many people laugh at him as the "league's number one point guard."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Marbury said in an interview with HBO that he had thoughts of suicide when he was with the Knicks. He is talking about this season. He is currently averaging only 16.8 points and 6.4 assists per game, and his form has been sluggish since the start of the game.

During the Lakers position battle, his teammates continued to look for Yao Ming. He took the ball to the left and challenged Ben. He leaned twice, turned around to the middle and feinted with the ball. Ben deliberately moved a certain distance away to reserve space for taking off. He jumped up with all his strength and wanted to give Yao Ming a big hat. As a result, Yao Ming made a fake move and pulled the ball back with his right hand.

His right foot didn't move on the mid-axis, and he took a step forward with his left foot. When he took off and bumped into Ben, he picked up the basket with his left hand lowhand.

Daben couldn't avoid it in the air. After the two collided, the referee blew the whistle and Yao Ming's lob also fell into the basket.

Yao Ming stood on the free throw line, and some home fans were already shouting "MVP!" He hit the extra free throw, 15-0, his 11th point.

Jackson finally called a timeout. The Knicks were beaten so miserably in the opening game, and he had to do something.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Yao Ming conquered the Los Angeles fans last season. If he keeps this state, he may really win the regular season MVP. Kobe already won one last season, and if he wins again, he will defend the title. Maybe this will be considered during the selection. Factor. Yao Ming's statistics this year are no worse than Kobe's."

Yu Jia said: "Kobe is more selfless than last season. He doesn't have much playing time. Except for the first two seasons of his career, Kobe has never played less than 35 minutes. This year the Lakers won too easily."

When the players came off the court, Yang Rui high-fived Yao Ming and Kobe one by one, secretly observing Kobe's expression.

Kobe was smiling and didn't seem to care that Yao Ming was highly rated and threatened his core status. His mentality is very different from Yang Rui's previous life. He now desires more championships, not more scoring titles.

This season, the Lakers are extremely united.
