On October 25, the Lakers' home opening game of the new season started, and the stadium was full.

Before the game started, the Lakers held the championship ring award ceremony last season. Boozer, Mo Williams, Bonner and Thackeray, who had left the team, came to the scene to collect their rings and received warm applause.

The four of them were not playing in the NBA anymore, and they chose to retire. Boozer went to China to play in the CBA, and Thacker joined the very unprofessional Japanese professional league.

Lakers owner Jim Buss especially thanked Guo Xu for his contribution to the Lakers when speaking, saying that without Guo Xu, there would be no Lakers today. The scene was very awkward, and he heard the boos from the fans.

Bass knew why, and his heart was bleeding. Because when Guo Xu was let go, how many championships did the Lakers win less? How much money did they earn less? How much scolding did they get more? This is immeasurable.

Guo Xu received the championship ring at the end and gave a speech. "This is just the beginning, and what is waiting for us is a dynasty. I promise that at this time next year, we will also receive the championship ring here and raise a championship flag."

The fans all applauded, and the new veterans of the team were also applauding. Guo Xu was what people wanted. Bus Jr. smiled bitterly, and when Guo Xu retired, his boss would probably be questioned.

After the visiting team player appeared, Lowry took the initiative to greet Guo Xu and exchanged a few greetings.

Lowry's smile was a little bitter. He had no chance to win the championship and failed to make a lot of money. In 2014, he renewed his contract with a long "baby price" contract, and now he regrets it very much.

In fact, Lowry, who is on Earth, has been much better than himself in the parallel world. As soon as he entered the league in 2006, he served as a substitute for Guo Xu in the Suns. He won three championships with the team before leaving. He is not short of honor or pressure.

After the warm-up, both sides appeared, and the five Lakers: Guo Xu, Booker, Durant, Horford, and Adams.

Rockets five players: Lowry, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza, Ryan Anderson, Capela.

Rockets manager Morey's idea of ​​signing players is mainly to look at the cost-effectiveness of the players, which is similar to the paths in parallel worlds, but it lacks core James Harden and several excellent substitutes. The Rockets' substitute lineup is mainly led by Louis Williams, and almost all the others are blue-collar workers. Judging from the depth of the lineup, the Rockets are at a disadvantage.

Adams jumped and the game began.

Durant got the ball, and Guo Xu got rid of Lowry under Adams' off-ball cover as soon as he passed the ball. He received a change of direction and accelerated over Capela. He drove straight in the middle and dunked the ball with both hands. 2-0.

He was about to throw his legs on the rebound with his basket hanging, which attracted all the fans to applause and cheer. He scored the first goal of the season in this way and was very morale-enhancing.

The Rockets attacked, Guo Xu defended Lowry closely, and he wanted a big victory in the opening game and would not let the water go.

Lowry has been improving in recent years, especially the outside shooting feels better and better. Last season, he averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 38.8%. Guo Xu couldn't let him make a random shot, he wanted to do his best.

Lowry is strong and can be called No. 1 James. He can easily squeeze out his opponent and force his breakthrough against many tall defenders. However, he can't squeeze out Guo Xu. Guo Xu's lower plate was very stable and his reaction was quick and accurate in prediction.

Guo Xu stuck to the position and made Lowry unable to afford the speed. He turned around and failed to break through and passed the ball out.

Gordon and Capela broke through with the ball and were double-teamed. The Lakers' formation contracted and three people blocked the penalty area. Gordon passed the ball to Ariza, who missed the open jump shot from the basket.

Ariza has performed too high shooting percentage in other teams in a single season, and has two three-point shooting percentages in the playoffs, but he is just a "iron slag" in the Rockets. I don't know why, maybe it's because of Feng Shui.

Adams grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a counterattack with a pass. Guo Xu dribbled the ball from behind and passed Lowry, attracting Gordon to make up for the defense and passed the ball with the opportunity. Booker got a big open position on the right and made an easy three-pointer. He made a 5-0 shot.

When returning to defense, Guo Xu and Booker clapped their hands to show encouragement.

After knowing that Wade joined the Lakers, Booker did not relax in the summer and spent two months practicing outside shooting. Tyrone Lu called him and asked him to exercise more physical fitness and develop in the direction of no-ball, and used Klay Thompson as a template.

The two have some similarities, both of which are of average physical fitness and beautiful shooting. In parallel world, the Suns need Booker to take the ball and attack. He took a comprehensive route and his data may be almost done in the direction of no ball, but his shooting percentage will be higher.

In the parallel world, Booker scored 28 points in the long shot competition, setting a record in the competition. He has the potential to become a super shooter, and the scouts position him as a shooter when participating in the draft.

Booker will never face double-teams when playing in the Lakers, and there is no need to consider combining sudden and split shots. There are many opportunities for open positions. Now it seems that he is the least threat among the five. Who will he put if his opponent doesn't let go?

The Rockets attacked, Lowry and Capela played pick-and-roll attack, and Adams replaced defense and blocked Lowry, and his consciousness was very good. Guo Xu bypassed the big man and quickly formed a double-team.

Lowry passed the ball to Capela, who was empty at the high position, straightened his body, and his expression was even more dumb than Forrest Gump.

Lowry was running and Guo Xu followed up. Adams retreated two meters away and was too lazy to control Capela. The latter did not dare to take action in the open position and did not dribble. He waited for Gordon to get the ball to pass the ball from close range.

Capela is the bluest blue-collar type. If you want to score on the offensive end, you can only rely on the system and teammates to feed the ball, and you have no independent offensive ability. Since entering the league in 2014, he has never made any moves in mid- and long distances, which is a magical record. Last season, he averaged only 1.1 shots at low positions, hitting 0.3 goals, and hitting a shooting percentage of 30.1%.

To put it bluntly, Capela has no scoring methods except picking up bargains at the basket. His average shooting distance is 1.7 in the league, and the only sure scoring method is dunking, and shooting under the basket is possible.

Gordon and Anderson played pick-and-roll, but the routine was still very simple. Horford replaced defense quickly and Gordon failed to break through. Anderson received the ball and faced Booker who replaced defense and made a jump shot.

Anderson is only good at catching and shooting, and Morey gave him an annual salary of 20 million yuan, which is purely a disease.

The Rockets player retreated quickly enough. Guo Xu passed it to Durant as the organizational striker. The two inside players pulled out to cover and helped the defender create opportunities. Durant did not pass the ball, and Ariza leaned back and turned to the left and threw the ball. 7-0.

He played so easily in singles and had no side interference. He felt that he was sure to win this kind of ball.

Rockets boss Alexander watched the live broadcast at home and felt very tired and he was reluctant to continue playing, but he had not yet thought about what to do next.

The Rockets cannot make the playoffs, and if they don’t seem to have a future, they can’t sell at a good price. What’s worse is that bad teams are not attractive to the stars, and it’s difficult for them to trade excellent stars. Without big-name stars, it’s even more difficult for the team to sell at a good price. The Rockets let Harrison Barnes go before, but he didn’t regret it, knowing that it was a bad contract.

If you play badly, try to sign a high-ranking rookie? That won’t be much helpful for selling the team. No matter how good the rookie is, it will take time to cultivate it.

Yao Ming helped Alexander make a lot of money back then, but the boss would not always have good luck.

In the first quarter, all five Lakers scored. The Rockets could not defend against the stars without double-teaming, and they could make room for double-teaming, and the role players could easily take action. The pressure on the defensive end was high, and the Rockets players could not find any sense when attacking, and could not break the Lakers' joint defense and made a series of blacksmiths.
