Luo Rui was completely defeated by Guo Xu, constantly exposing his shortcomings and unable to display his specialties.

Lowry's height and wingspan are not outstanding in the NBA, and his strength is enough to withstand the power forward. He weighs nearly 95 kilograms this year, resulting in a slower lateral movement. He had a headache when he saw Guo Xu fighting back. When he was close, Guo Xu would use his speed to get rid of him. When he was far away, Guo Xu would hit him with three points.

In the first quarter, Guo Xu made 4 three-pointers, scoring 18 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, Lowry made 1 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointer, and scored 2 points and 2 assists.

This is not like a contest between star point guards, but more like a superstar who is abused by rookies. Lowry's style of play destined to suffer losses against star point guards, and players who can make sudden shots are not bad at playing against him.

Luo Rui was in trouble today. He couldn't stand Guo Xu by relying on his strength, so it was difficult to successfully break through. Luo Rui, who had no breakthrough, was just an ordinary character player and could not drive his teammates.

Barkley commented: "Although you can see Jason resisting the big guy every season, I am still surprised by his defense against Lowry. Maybe this is the use of Chinese Kung Fu on the court?"

Kenny Smith asked: "Shakel, have you seen him practice kung fu? How powerful is he?"

O'Neal smiled and said, "I've seen it, it's the feeling in the movie. He's faster and stronger than Bruce Lee. He can really hit 10 people alone with bare hands, and the people from the Taekwondo team know that. If you can use your legs, Mayweather can't beat him. This is what Mayweather admits in person."

Listening to the one-sided commentary on the game, the fans were bored, and the commentator chatted with gossip made them even more excited. The ratings of TNT's live broadcast exceeded those of other TV stations, and it was related to O'Neal's knowledge of a lot of insider information.

The Lakers sent a super luxury rotation lineup in the second quarter, Felton, Wade, Carter, Tucker, and Harrell.

The Lakers veterans have all been selected as All-Stars and are experienced. Tucker is a 3D player, and the second-year rookie Harrell has the strongest physical fitness. Today, the outside defense blue-collar Robertson and Zubac are marginalists.

The Rockets' substitute lineup is very shabby, with many players whose names are not called by ordinary fans, led by Louis Williams. Power forward Terrence Jones is strong in offense and weak in defense, Sam Decker and Cory Brewer are unstable in shooting, and all abilities are just average.

Because of the butterfly effect, Nene, who should have joined the Rockets, Tucker and Harrell joined the Lakers, and Beverly is in the Heat. The Rockets are not just missing Harden, and it is impossible to make it to the playoffs this season.

The substitute center is the first round rookie selected by the Rockets, named Jacob Pelter, and it sounds like he came from the Werewolf family in Twilight. He is a little longer than in the draft, 216m tall and weighs 108 kilograms. He is an inside player with good athletic ability and has more potential.

Unfortunately, Jacob had no range, which made him unable to beat the orc Harrell, who was stronger than him, and was always resisted outside the penalty area. When the Lakers launched a fast counterattack, Jacob could not win Harrell in the game.

After Guo Xu rested, Felton could also launch a fast counterattack. He was called "Fatton" by fans. He was 185m tall, weighed 93 kilograms, and his body was a bit round. Like Lowry, he would use his weight advantages and his speed was not slow. Even if his physical fitness has declined now, he can keep up with the pace of the game, so Terry has no chance to play.

Lou Wei is not a point guard who is good at organizing offense. He is more like a shooting guard and likes to take the ball on his own. The Rockets lacks a playmaker and cannot play tactics. The rotation lineup is suppressed by the Lakers who have more scoring points, and the score difference quickly widens to more than 30 points.

The main players came back in the second half and played for a while, with the Lakers leading 78 to 36 at halftime for 42 points.

The Lakers players were all serious in the opening game, and the Rockets scored 20 in two consecutive quarters. After Adams and Horford appeared, the Rockets players could not enter the penalty area at all.

The two complement each other on the defensive end, Horford is responsible for preventing pick-and-roll, Adams interferes with shooting in the penalty area, and protects the backcourt rebound.

Horford was injured many times in the Thunder, and his condition declined for a while. Last season, he was relatively relaxed on the offensive end. He played health basketball for a season and returned to his peak this year, and his mobility has become stronger.

Adams has no shortcomings in the defensive end except for the slow movement speed. He does not jump randomly, and will jamm the opponent's height and wingspan interfere with shooting. He can control the number of fouls and protect the backcourt rebounding ability. The Lakers do not need him to give rebounds to the defender, but he needs to grab a rebound and pass it.

On the offensive end, Horford opened the space, Adams and the defender cut in the pick-and-roll, and his teammates failed to make a shot and he might rush to grab the frontcourt rebound. If there was a misalignment, he could catch the ball and hit the basket directly.

Adams played in 18 minutes, made 5 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, which was better than his data throughout the game with the Wizards.

Guo Xu played for 18 minutes, made 8 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 of 3-pointers, 4 of 4 of 4 free throws, scored 23 points and 10 assists, and scored double-double data. Durant made 7 of 9 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the first half, the three of them were more like Big Three, with an explosive scoring efficiency.

Rockets core Lowry felt tormented on the court, making 1 of 6 shots and only scored 2 points and 3 assists, but was stunned by Guo Xu.

Gordon was the Rockets' best performer, making 5 of 11 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. If he hadn't played, the Rockets' overall data would have been even worse.

When Carter and Booker were on the court, the Lakers' wing defense was not strong enough, and the coaching staff did not intend to make up for this weakness. They prefer to defeat their opponents by offense.

They had this routine last season, defense, and just get serious when entering the playoffs.

In the second half, the Lakers sent all substitutes to train, Felton, Booker, Robertson, Bellstein, and Zubac.

This lineup is still very strong, and the two can open up space outside the three-point line. Felton is responsible for breaking through with the ball and playing pick-and-roll with Zubac, and Robertson is not bad at defending on the wing.

Wade and Harrell also played in the final quarter as a rotation for a while. Today, except for Bogut and Terry who were not on the roster, all Lakers players scored.

Bogut sprained his knee during the preseason, which was not serious, and the coaching staff asked him to take care of him. Bogut is a glass man with injuries that have only been in full attendance for one season. It is good for the team and himself to reduce his playing time.

The Lakers won 137-78 in the final game, defeating the Rockets by 59 points.

It was really tragic to play like this in the opening game. When the Rockets left, all the Rockets players were dejected. This was the result of the Lakers not doing their best. In the second half, the Rockets' poor substitutes scored more.

After the game, the media unanimously recognized the Lakers' strength, believing that even if they cannot win a full victory this season, they can still achieve the best regular season record. They look too strong.

Some fans on the Internet expressed dissatisfaction, saying that it is not a good thing for the Lakers to be so strong.

First of all, the stars' playing time will definitely be shortened. If Guo Xu and Durant's playing time are less than 30 minutes, they will not be able to play very beautiful data.

Secondly, the game is not good to watch without any suspense. Who would like the game after get off work in the third quarter?

Fans of other teams have begun to boycott the Lakers, hoping that they will part as soon as possible. There are more fans who hate Durant. His joining the Lakers is the main reason for the widening gap in strength. At least several teams were able to play with the Lakers last season.
