Kobe's first shot was a hit, and the Nuggets' basket was in chaos.
Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound, but didn't quite get it.
Camby reached out and the basketball flew out.
JR Smith picked up the basketball and handed it to Li Yan immediately.
"Quick attack!"
Offensive and defensive transitions have always been the Nuggets' strength.
Iverson took the lead and Li Yan passed the ball without hesitation.
Kobe's pursuit was very good, and he always maintained a just right distance from Iverson.
Iverson glanced behind him, and Kobe really didn't relax for a single round.
Iverson did not force forward, but passed the ball behind him and took Kobe out of the baseline.
Li Yan received the pass and jumped hard, but not very high.
Fortunately, his wingspan was long enough and he still pushed the ball into the basket.
Li Yan found that "Flash's Contempt" allowed him to jump higher on defense, but without skill support on the offensive end, his jumping was a bit mediocre.
Li Yan scored 4 points in a row in the opening game, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV were excited.
"Wow! Li Yan is so awesome, he doesn't show any fear when facing Kobe."
"Li Yan has a strong ability to control the rhythm. It can be seen that his teammates trust him very much."
"No, JR immediately looked for Li Yan after getting the ball."
"Yanshen is awesome, he beat Kobe today!"
"Fuck, I can't help but say this. Let's brag about it after we win."
"It's better to brag first. At least now Li Yan has scored 4 points and Kobe has not scored a single point."
"Fuck, that makes sense!"
Lakers offense.
Kobe is still leading the offense, and Li Yan is very focused.
Kobe changed directions continuously, but was blocked by Li Yan.
Kwame Brown stepped up to give Kobe a screen, and Kobe broke through to attract the Nuggets' attack.
Bryant deftly passed the ball through the gap to Kwame Brown down the stretch.
However--
"puff!"
Kwame Brown's hand slipped, and the basketball passed directly into the hands of Kenyon Martin on the side.
Kenyon Martin was confused. What kind of operation was this? Suddenly there was an extra ball in his hand.
"Quick attack!" Li Yan roared, and Martin reacted immediately.
The basketball was given to Li Yan. Li Yan didn't stick to the ball at all this time and just pushed it with both hands.
The basketball was shot out like a "bullet".
Iverson, who was already accelerating, only felt the sound of breaking wind behind him. Based on his many years of experience, he could tell that the ball speed was ridiculously fast.
Iverson was directly risking his life, and his legs were on the ground and almost left an afterimage.
"Snapped!"
Iverson caught the basketball and said, "Whoops!"
A layup scored two points, 6-0!
The Nuggets turned away and the Lakers were forced to call a timeout.
"Unbelievable!"
"The ball was passed so handsomely, like lightning."
"I didn't even see how the ball went out, Mader, do the Chinese use kung fu to play?"
"If you ask me, the ball speed is too fast. Only AI can catch up."
Li Yan was waiting on the sidelines for Iverson to come over and give him a high-five.
"Lee, you passed the ball too big." Iverson gasped.
"Um, boss, I thought it was you who caught the ball. In my mind, with your strength, there is no ball you can't catch." Li Yan laughed and laughed.
Iverson was amused, and he slapped Li Yan on the butt:
"You almost sent your boss away with this ball. Don't pass it like this next time. You are 20 years old and I am already 32."
"I believe you." Li Yan deliberately teased Iverson.
The "answer" was also happy. Iverson sat down on the bench and laughed: "You try it next time. If I don't catch the ball from you, who will get this mistake?"
Li Yan: (⊙O⊙)…, you know the rules quite well.
George Karl was also amused and joked: "Lee, cooperate with Allen. If the ball goes out of bounds, you just raise your hand."
Li Yan: "Coach, what kind of routine is this?"
JR Smith translated: "That is to say, if the AI passes the ball to you and you fail to catch it, it is your fault; if you pass the ball to the AI and the AI fails to catch it, it is also your fault."
"Young people, don't be afraid of making mistakes!"
Li Yan:…………
The timeout ends and the game returns.
Kobe asked for the ball in the low post and took one from Li Yan with his back.
Li Yan tried his best, but this time the "Flash's contempt" failed to interfere with Kobe's fadeaway jumper.
The basketball passed over Li Yan's long arm, "Whoosh!" and hit the net hollowly.
Picturesque posture, enjoying the silky smoothness, Li Yan can only look at the ball and sigh.
6 to 2! The Lakers finally opened up their scoring account with Kobe Bryant.
Nuggets round.
Li Yan took the ball to the frontcourt, and his defender became Luke Walton.
Li Yan's size crushes almost all point guards, so many teams will send forward players to defend him.
Li Yan handed the ball to Iverson and led Walton to run without the ball.
This is not yet the small ball era, and NBA teams still attach great importance to the inside.
The Lakers' paint area was overcrowded. Li Yan did not choose to go in and join in the fun, but moved to the outside.
He made a tactical gesture towards JR, but JR didn't see it.
At the same time, Iverson was already having a real man PK with Kobe.
Iverson opened up the space, but Kobe's defense still caused some interference.
"DUang!" Basketball strikes.
This time Kwame Brown failed to hold the rebound firmly.
Li Yan fell down before Kobe and flicked the basketball toward Iverson.
Iverson raised the knife and hit the mid-range shot.
Kobe looked at Kwame Brown helplessly. Is this the No. 1 pick? Can't even hold the ball steady.
Lakers round.
Kobe opened a single in the low post, and Li Yan's chest was hit hard.
Li Yan was knocked back by Kobe in the confrontation.
JR Smith rushed over to cover the defense. Kobe looked at all four directions and passed the ball to Luke Walton, who was wide open.
Although Luke Walton's three-point shooting percentage is 36% this season, he does not take many shots.
Walton could only say that he had a three-pointer, but it was not stable. He took aim for a long time this time, but he still missed it.
Kwame Brown almost had a "butter hand" again, but fortunately Camby knocked the ball out of bounds.
Kobe was so angry that he shook his head, and Luke Walton and Kwame Brown were so frightened that they couldn't even look Kobe in the eyes.
"Damn it, Kobe has such a strong aura!" Li Yan subconsciously moved towards Iverson.
Feeling the terrifying aura of "keep away from strangers" exuding from Kobe, Li Yan knew that Kobe was about to enter "Mamba Mode."
