I am so Accurate

Chapter 430 An unprecedented award ceremony!

Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball again, and Yi Jianlian took the initiative to move to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

Obviously, Paul's performance in the round just now won his approval.

Paul passed the ball back after a breakthrough, and Yi Jianlian took the ball and shot a high jump shot.

"Uh-huh!"

Yi Jianlian showed his soft touch with this ball, and the basketball hit the net hollowly.

After scoring, he took the initiative to high-five Paul.

Bulls head coach Scott Scales was beaming on the sidelines.

He doesn't think the Bulls have the strength to defeat the defending champion now, but the tacit cooperation shown by Yi Jianlian and Paul makes him believe that the team can do it in the future.

Sun Hao then beat Paul from behind.

His efficiency when playing from behind is definitely not as good as facing the frame, but the preseason is all about finding the feel of the game for the Lakers.

And unlike Kobe's post-up play, his post-up play is all from the outside and will not encroach on O'Neal's offensive space under the basket.

The Bulls still didn't double-team. This time Sun Hao turned around and faked a backward move, then turned around and broke through directly with a low center of gravity.

Payton couldn't handle this change during training games, and the immature Paul seemed even more at a loss.

He tried to shoot Sun Hao's ball steal, but ended up hitting the air.

Sun Hao broke through to the basket and once again attracted Chandler to help defend, then passed the ball to O'Neal from close range.

Yi Jianlian showed his athletic talent and quickly assisted in defense.

O'Neal did not choose to play hard, but passed another pass to Walker in the bottom corner.

Walker happily shot another three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, the ball went in again!

The cheers of the fans at the scene have already exploded.

Not only because of Walker's excellent outside touch tonight, but also because of the Lakers' mercury-laden offense this round.

They are even more certain that this Lakers team is a fantasy team.

Because only when the strength reaches a certain level, the game will become a visual enjoyment!

Or in other words, this is another team in the league that can be called "show.time" after the previous championship team, the Mavericks.

And, it’s the Lakers again!

Nocioni's layup was directly confiscated by O'Neal.

The big shark nests under the basket and no longer goes out, but the basket is still his restricted area!

The ball came into Walker's hands, and Walker passed the ball long.

He is not only the connector between instant kills, but also the engine of the team's fast break.

This time Sun Hao restrained the defense, and after receiving the ball, Finley quickly broke into the frontcourt and scored with a flying dunk!

15 to 6!

Less than half a quarter, the score difference has already moved towards double digits!

By the time this quarter was over, the score on the field was already 32-16!

In one quarter, the Lakers already led by nearly 20 points!

This score fully illustrates the strength gap between the two teams.

The same should be true for the defending champions who have been strengthened and the team that is rebuilding.

The scene in this section also impressed the fans deeply.

It was more than 7 minutes into the game when Paul tried to break through Sun Hao head-on.

He was faster, but Sun Hao's prediction was accurate and he was forced to fight in advance. After he was forced to stop the ball, Sun Hao cut it off abruptly.

This scene is also very similar to the historical portrayal of Paul beating Deron.

Unable to defend and attack, Paul's career debut started in a bit of hell mode.

However, good people can always find room to play. His alley catch after a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian was just right. Yi Jianlian scored a one-handed alley catch and dunked Huashan, locking in one of today's top five goals.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bulls 102-85 in the preseason opener.

The final point difference was because the Lakers had started to use all substitutes and benches in the second half.

By the time the game was over, the Lakers' 12-man activated roster was open, and everyone had scored.

Sun Hao scored 17 points in the first half of the game. It is worth mentioning that he only took 7 shots, and the efficiency of 6 of 7 shots was terrifyingly high.

Payton and Mourning haven't found their form yet, but Walker performed brilliantly.

He played nearly 30 minutes and scored a team-high 20 points, plus 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

This performance has made Los Angeles fans feel more favorable and even love him.

In fact, Walker, who never invests, has always been an All-Star. How can people not love him!

The Lakers have made a lot of money from this signing so far.

Zhu Fangyu also got a chance to play in the game, and he felt good. He made 2 of 3 shots from the three-point line and scored 6 points and 2 rebounds.

For the Bulls, the top scorer was Yi Jianlian. He scored a team-high 25 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks on 9 of 19 shots. Paul had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Chandler had 9 points and 9 rebounds.

Although the team lost, the Bulls made people feel that the future was promising.

Of course, at the end of the game, Paul's expression was not very good.

Before the game, his "make the playoffs as soon as next year" already showed his ambition. The team can lose, but the way of losing is a bit difficult for him to accept.

"Your passing is much better than when I first entered the league", "I feel very relieved to play with you in the UAE", "I'm waiting to see you play in the playoffs next year"...

After seeing this, Sun Hao pulled him and said a few words of encouragement during the handshake ceremony.

Paul's mood seemed noticeably better.

This scene is also very similar... Jordan definitely can't do it.

Jordan might just say: Boy, you guys played like a piece of shit tonight?

Sun Hao's strength is constantly approaching Jordan, but his personality is completely different from Jordan.

Especially when it comes to treating your fans’ younger brothers, you must take extra care of them.

Time flies, and all 7 preseason games are over in the blink of an eye.

The Lakers have won 7 out of 7 games and lost none.

Although the preseason record is not included in the statistics, it can still explain something.

Historically, the 2012 Lakers' "new F4" lineup of Nash, Kobe, Gasol, and Howard looked more gorgeous than the old F4, but they lost all 8 games in the preseason.

At first, fans and teams didn't take it seriously, but when the regular season started, people were shocked. They lost three games in a row at the beginning, and the new F4 also disintegrated after one season.

The current Lakers team is at another extreme, which also makes fans full of expectations for the new season.

After the preseason, the Lakers also made the final wave of layoffs.

Zhu Fangyu successfully stayed and became the 15th player of the Lakers!

In 7 preseason games, he averaged 10.2 minutes of playing time per game, which was not much or even a little less, but he averaged 5 points per game, averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game, and his three-point field goal percentage reached 39%. !

This performance obviously satisfied the coaching staff and management.

In other words, in the limited time, Zhu Fangyu seized the opportunity!

After successfully staying on the team, he also became the first domestic small forward to truly land in the NBA!

Some people may ask, the three-point line in the NBA and CBA are different, how did Zhu Fangyu adapt to it in a short period of time unlike Wang Zhizhi.

The answer is, talent plus hard work plus luck.

Talent has also appeared in other European shooters, such as Ginobili. When he was in Europe, his three-point shooting was relatively average. He was even criticized by Popovich when he first came to the Spurs, but he improved it in a short period of time. The three-point shot has become his own weapon.

Zhu Fangyu may have mediocre talents in other aspects, but this is the only one that sets him apart.

The most direct evidence is that Zhu Fangyu in history was initially a power forward and a dunker. Later, at the request of the national team, he switched to a small forward and practiced three-pointers.

And he practiced three-pointers in a short period of time, and later became the first three-pointer in the country.

Hard training is indispensable.

Although he said that he could not enter the NBA, after learning that he was selected, he had already started training in private.

Of course, three-pointers also depend on touch, and he also had good luck in the preseason.

Talent, hard work and luck, he has all three elements of success, so it makes sense to stay on the team.

After each team's preseason, ESPN conducted a wave of predictions and rankings on the strength of the 2005~2006 season as in the past.

In this list, the Lakers top the list without any doubt.

Analysis given by ESPN: A championship team only lost the 42-year-old Malone in the rotation this past summer, but the players they added are: 29-year-old Antoine Walker, 37-year-old Gary Payne Dayton, 35-year-old Alonzo Mourning; for such a team, if he cannot become the number one, the only possibility is uncontrollable injuries.

This analysis is simple, but simply convincing.

The reinforcements in the lineup are clearly visible, not to mention the improvement in the strength of Sun Hao as the core.

In addition to the Lakers, there are also many teams on this list that attract attention.

Among them, the Wizards, who have just changed coaches, rank second in this list.

Everyone feels that the Wizards will be completely transformed after being coached by Carlisle, including ESPN.

"This is a coach who will make a team better whenever he comes to it. The Wizards are already one of the best teams in the league. If it gets better, the championship will be their only goal. "

The Pistons, Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Nets, and Nuggets ranked 3 to 8 respectively.

The Bulls rank 20th on this list.

"Chris Paul has proven how good he is, and Yi Jianlian has also proven that he can at least become a qualified second-in-command. Give them time to grow, and maybe like Paul said, they will enter the playoffs soon. .”

The Lakers players were so excited after being so well-liked that they kept shouting during the training games.

However, this excitement did not rise to elation, because O'Neal vaccinated everyone just like he did in the playoffs last season.

"We want to win more than just this championship. Before we win more championships, show me your focus. Anyone who fails to do so will be careful and I will kick their ass."

Humor and ruthlessness coexist, this is the big shark.

But in Los Angeles, who dares not to listen to the big shark?

The Lakers' opponent in the opening game of the new season is... the Mavericks!

That’s right, it’s a blast from the get-go.

As for why it's not the Pistons or the Wizards or the Spurs, there are reasons.

The Pistons have just finished playing the Finals against the Lakers and are inevitably suffering from visual fatigue. The Spurs' long-term popularity is generally not suitable for the opening game. It would be a waste for the Wizards to arrange the opening game. Therefore, in comparison, the Mavericks are the best choice.

Stern's ability in this area is second to none and no one dares to say he is first.

The Mavericks' biggest move this past summer was to renew Bell's contract to retain the team's core lineup.

As for the center position, Dampier's contract is too long for them to handle, and the team can only look forward to Diop's progress.

However, in the preseason, Marquis Daniels, Josh Howard, and Devin Harris all showed their progress, and the Mavericks' strength has only increased compared to last season.

Of course, it is Kobe who determines the upper limit of this team, or his style of play.

What he will choose to do after experiencing the failed season last season is also the focus of everyone's attention.

But no matter what, Kobe and Sun Hao met again, and the grudge between OK did not end with the end of last season. On the contrary, it became more exciting.

After all, grudges, like wine, become more and more anticipated as time goes by.

Those stories that lasted throughout their careers, like Russell and Chamberlain in ancient times, are topics that fans have always talked about.

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

In addition to the not-to-be-missed matchup, the Lakers, as the defending champions, will also have a championship ring award ceremony in the opening game.

Tickets are hard to come by, and there are many Hollywood stars in the front row.

An hour before the start of the game, under the watchful eyes of the fans, the Lakers' championship ring awarding ceremony began.

Bass was very fond of this championship and was not stingy in investing in the ring.

Compared with the Mavericks' championship ring, or compared with the Pistons' ring last year, this ring is one size larger.

The same thing is that they are all studded with diamonds and have the familiar gold-plated Lakers logo. One look at them will make people unconsciously express "Wow".

Of course, the old Bass values ​​this championship more than that.

This time the award ceremony was different from the previous ones. In addition to Stern, there were also many meritorious players of the Lakers present.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Jerry West, James Worthy... of course not Baylor.

These are all historical figures who have won championships in the history of the Lakers, and the number is exactly the same as the number of Lakers players who need to be awarded rings.

Buss senior invited them all to the Staples Center this time and asked them to award rings to the Lakers players.

Looking at these celebrities on the court, the Lakers players off the court felt extremely excited.

This kind of arrangement is unique in history, and perhaps only the Lakers can arrange so many super stars.

This is truly an unprecedented awards ceremony.

After sufficient preparations, the on-site award ceremony began.

The front office and coaching staff of the team that gets the ring first.

Phil Jackson smiled happier than Grandpa KFC this time.

Not counting the two championship rings as a player, this is also the tenth in his coaching career.

And Jackson's approach was also very hippie-like. He put all the other nine rings on his hands. After putting on this one, his two hands were completely covered with rings.

This made the fans at the scene wet. The highest level of pretentiousness is nothing more than this!

This scene is destined to become the focus of heated discussions among fans after the game.

However, fans may never have imagined that what happened after the award ceremony would make them completely forget about Jackson's pretense.

ps: Updates will resume tomorrow.
