There was a small detail before playing. Kobe pulled Howard and said something. Howard was a little absent-minded.

This is a small detail.

In history, Howard and Kobe also formed a team together, but the two ended up having a bad time.

The fundamental reason here is whether the personality is in line.

Howard has always been treated as a favorite when he entered the league. He was traded to a big city like Los Angeles and even entered a big pond. It’s all over.

But Kobe's expectations for Howard were obviously not the one. He treated Howard as a man and used his own requirements to demand Howard, hoping that Howard would steal the status of the boss from him.

Compared to right or wrong, this is the most fundamental reason for the conflict between the two.

But that's off-topic. At this time, Howard had arrived at the Clippers not long ago. Although he didn't like to listen to Kobe's words, at most he could just be in the air.

Jumping the ball on both sides, Howard jumped high and pushed the ball back to the Clippers' half, and the Clippers attacked first.

Sun Yue controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and after giving the ball to Gasol, he went to the bottom corner.

Sun Yue does the same job as Knight, the difference is that he already has a stable three-point shooting range and is very functional.

Gasol held the ball, Howard sank to the inside, while Kobe took advantage of Artest's pick-and-roll without the ball from the outside.

Old Dunleavy's tactical system is different from Phil Jackson.

Although this offensive method is not as profound as the triangular tactics, it is very layered from the inside out.

After Bynum was replaced by Howard, this sense of layering became more obvious.

The Lakers' defense center was on Kobe's side. Gasol held the ball, turned around and broke through Millsap directly, attracted Hibert's defensive attention and threw the ball into the air, and Howard flew up there.

"Bang!"

With an iconic hand-powered air relay, Howard smashed the ball into the basket.

A burst of cheers from the Clippers fans rang out at the scene.

The Clippers' opening style tonight is exciting enough!

However, this can also show the problems of the Lakers. Millsap and Hibert are short and slow, and this combination has a big problem with the defensive end.

The Clippers took the lead, and Knight gave the ball to Sun Hao after halftime.

Sun Hao did not do the ball directly like the previous games, but instead organized it and played a tactic for Carter.

Before losing to the Bulls, Sun Hao knew that it would be difficult to play against such a championship team by relying solely on his personal ability. If Carter returns, he must first mobilize Carter's form.

At least we should try to see how Carter is in his condition after he recovers from injury.

Carter used Millsap's cover to catch the ball, and flicked it over Gasol and broke through to the basket.

A series of technical movements were completed in one go, and it can be seen from this that his ankle injury had no effect on him anymore.

Carter flew away Gasol's fly layup.

However, just as he took action, Howard, who was still on the left side of the basket the previous second, suddenly rubbed to the right.

"Bang!"

Howard slapped Carter's move onto the rebound.

Pinboard hat!

And Howard also grabbed the rebound!

With one attack and one defense, Howard fully demonstrated his overflowing talent.

In fact, Howard's decline in strength has a lot to do with his back injury. He was affected by Heywood's elbow at the beginning, but it has not yet exploded. The current "Warcraft" is still the best center besides Yao Ming.

Howard gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe advanced to the frontcourt.

This time Kobe held the ball, Howard took the initiative to raise it to play a pick-and-roll for Kobe at a high position.

This is the biggest difference between Howard and his period in history.

Howard has a unique position in magic in history and basically does not give pick-and-rolls to others. However, now because he has been a teammate with Arenas for a long time, he has played many pick-and-roll tactics.

So Howard didn't have any psychological burden on Kobe's pick-and-roll, but was happy.

But his pick-and-roll was quickly dismantled faster, and he basically walked to the basket in one go.

This is easy to understand. His pick-and-roll purpose is not to create scoring opportunities for his teammates, but to score by himself.

Fortunately, this is not the first game of the Clippers' season, and Kobe also knows his habits, so he got lucky and started shooting in the pick-and-roll moment.

Hibert's slow speed gave Kobe a chance, and Kobe had a good chance when he took this shot.

"Swish!"

Kobe's opening feel was very good, and his first move was a hollow pocket.

4 to 0!

The Lakers made a perfect start.

The cheers from the Clippers fans at the scene became even louder.

Although the Lakers' fans won in terms of number of fans, the Clippers are obviously much better than the Lakers in terms of strength!

Talking on the court!

Knight pushed the ball to the frontcourt and continued to give the ball to Sun Hao, and Sun Hao continued to make the ball to Carter.

Carter made a three-pointer this time.

The ball's ballistics were very good, but the ball finally hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

Carter's injury should not be a big problem, but his condition is similar to before his injury, and it is not very good.

Fortunately, Hibert stuck his position at the basket at this time, used his height to take off the frontcourt rebound in the competition with Howard, and then gave the ball back to Sun Hao.

The Lakers have another new 24-second offensive opportunity.

It was this time that Sun Hao attacked with the ball.

Facing an opponent like the Clippers, if you fall too far behind at the beginning, you may not be able to get over the back.

Sun Yue is the one who guards against Sun Hao.

In short, this is Sun Yue's fifth year in the NBA. Last season, he just signed a five-year, 25 million contract with the Lakers, firmly taking the position of starting point guard of the Lakers.

His defense and three-pointers are continuing to improve. Although he is still a functional player, he is a scarce product in the league.

Even if he is the point guard position alone, he may have only a few.

Sun Hao broke through with the ball, and Sun Yue retreated while defending, always maintaining his defensive position against Sun Hao. Then when Sun Hao turned around and took action, he saw the opportunity to reach out to block the block...

Covered with air.

Sun Yue's defense is very smart, but if Sun Hao is blocked like this, then he will not be Sun Hao.

When Sun Yue blocked the block, he had already taken the initiative to fight, knocked Sun Yue away and then made a low-handed layup and sent the ball into the basket.

This ball can only be described as beautiful.

After the ball was scored, Lakers fans who had been waiting for a long time suddenly burst into cheers.

At this moment, they are using their actions to declare that Staples Center is the home court of Lakers fans!

The Clippers fans at the scene were somewhat embarrassed.

But they looked at the Clippers on the field with anticipation.

They believe the home team will respond soon.

Kobe and Howard pick-and-roll again. This time the Lakers chose to go around the pick-and-roll, and Knight showed his enthusiasm and saved in place.

Howard reached out to ask for the ball as he cut into the basket.

However, Kobe did not choose to give it to him, and the reaction of Lakers fans at the scene was a bit exciting.

He saw Knight coming up without taking action, showed off his steps, turned around and leaned back to take action.

This was his signature offensive method, and Knight quickly shook away.

However, what Kobe did not expect was that Knight did not give up when he was shaken away. His second pounce actually caused a little disturbance.

This is the real version of "If you work harder, it will become possible."

Kobe dodged a small trolley in the air before taking action.

Knight still couldn't stop Kobe from taking action, and because he was too hard, he finally fell to eat shit when he passed by Kobe.

"when!"

Although he looked embarrassed, his interference finally made Kobe's shot pop out!

Hibert stuck Howard at the basket and defended the rebound.

The Lakers' offense finally stopped!

After seeing it on the ground, Knight smiled and held his hands on the ground and got up, his face full of smiles.

Looking at that expression, it was worth it to feel that I fell.
