The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Lakers sent a baseline kick. After receiving the ball, Fisher quickly dribbled the ball across half court and came to the top of the arc to play a triangle offense.
Kobe quickly moved to the right side of the three-point line to attract the defense.
Gasol took the opportunity to run into the mid-range area on the right side, leaning against David Lee and reaching for the ball.
After everything was ready, Fisher immediately dropped the ball inside and then ran towards the right corner.
Curry quickly followed up, sticking close to Lao Yu and not giving this guy a chance to catch the ball.
Gasol received the pass, lowered his shoulders, lowered his center of gravity, and moved towards the penalty area with his arm on David Lee.
David Lee's defensive ability was average. He tried his best but couldn't withstand Gasol's back push, and felt quite helpless.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi, who was guarding Kobe Bryant from outside the three-point line on the right, did not dare to leave easily to help defend against double teams.
Gasol saw that the Warriors players did not step forward to double-team, so he pushed forward boldly.
When he moved to the edge of the penalty area on the right, he suddenly pushed away David Lee, then turned towards the penalty area and hit a half-shot shot.
After scoring, the Lakers players quickly retreated.
Curry, who had just received the baseline serve, saw this scene, slowed down, dribbled forward slowly, and passed the ball after reaching the frontcourt.
Outside the three-point line on the right side, Ellis received the pass and looked at Kobe in front of him with high fighting spirit in his eyes. After dribbling the ball continuously, he quickly made a large crossover and then accelerated into the three-point line.
Kobe reacted immediately and followed up with small steps.
Xiao Gongju broke through to the mid-range area on the right and immediately stopped, quickly connected with a step back, opened the distance between him and Kobe, and shot a mid-range jumper.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
The ball was not guarded, which aroused Kobe's competitive spirit and thought he would turn around and hit him.
Sun Yi: MMP! Labor and management are on the defensive for no reason!
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe kept his word and came to the low post area on the right to get the ball.
Sun Yi is not a soft persimmon. He learned offensive blocking skills from Barkley in the offseason, so he also learned how to prevent blocking.
Kobe noticed that Sun Yi was restless behind him, which almost made him unable to withstand the ball. It took a lot of effort to get into position and receive the pass.
"Boy, after not seeing each other for a summer, your strength has improved, but you can't guard against me just based on this."
After Kobe finished speaking, he leaned his back against Sun and shook his shoulders, then suddenly released the ball and turned forward to break through towards the basket.
Sun Yi was not distracted by Nai Nai's trash talk and focused on guarding him. When he saw Kobe making his next move, he immediately reacted quickly and followed Nai Nai toward the basket.
At the same time, Chandler, who was near the left side of the penalty area, saw this and immediately rushed back to the basket to defend.
Kobe broke through to the basket along the baseline and found that he was about to be flanked by Sun Yi and Chandler. He could not find a suitable shooting space. He was unwilling to give up and planned to forcefully create space.
So Lao Ke jumped up directly, trying to find opportunities in the air.
He was very confident in his ability to stay in the air. As long as others landed first, wouldn't they have a chance to take action?
When Sun Yi saw this situation, he didn't expect that Nao Zai would be so persistent? !
Isn’t this a gift of a hat? !
"Take a big hit from me!" Sun Yi immediately jumped up beside Kobe and straightened his arms to interfere.
At the same time, Chandler rushed back to the basket and also stretched his arms to block the shot.
Kobe, who was flying in the air, saw that the situation was so dangerous and did not give up. He twisted his waist and put the basketball down again. With the inertia of his body, he fell to the other side of the basket, looked back at the moon and threw the ball towards the backboard. .
After the basketball hits the backboard, it bounces into the frame accurately!
The fans in the audience gasped, and after a while, they erupted into deafening cheers and shouts.
Under the basket, Sun Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Kobe's extreme operation.
"As expected of a peerless waist!"
Sun Yi sighed, then immediately turned around and ran towards the frontcourt, not giving Naja a chance to pretend.
When Kobe saw Sun Yi's retreating back, he grinned and could only swallow what he wanted to say.
When the Warriors attacked, Curry and Chandler played a pick-and-roll. Seeing the Lakers switch defense, he passed the ball to the center.
After blocking the opponent, Chandler quickly received the pass and rushed to the basket to complete a two-handed dunk.
The boxing champion played this ball very well, and it felt a bit like working with Paul in the Hornets. He then nodded to Curry to express his gratitude.
Looking back, the Lakers played a triangle offense. After some passing, Fisher ran to the three-point line and missed the ball.
The Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
With the bonus of the badge [King of Counterattack], Sun Yi quickly dribbled the ball and sprinted towards the frontcourt, disrupting the Lakers' defense.
Curry and Ellis ran to the three-point line on both sides, involving the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers' defensive attention was focused on these three people, ignoring David Lee, who had a weak presence.
David Lee seized the opportunity, rushed toward the basket quickly, received a pass from Sun Yi, came to the basket and saw no one guarding him, and made an easy layup.
Originally, this guy could dunk, but in order to save energy, he switched to a layup.
What a labor-saving way to play!
Looking back, Kobe used the cover of his teammates to hit Ellis in a misplaced position and hit a very easy fadeaway jumper.
In the next few rounds, both sides scored, and the score was not widened.
The first quarter lasted about 8 minutes, and the two teams made substitutions and adjustments.
The Warriors replaced Sun Yi and Chandler and replaced Reggie Williams and Biedrins.
The Lakers replaced Fisher, Bynum and Artest and replaced Shannon Brown, Odom and Barnes.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Lakers took advantage of the Warriors' defensive decline. Kobe continued to play mismatched singles and scored frequently to overtake the point difference.
The Warriors responded quickly. Curry and Ellis made contributions from the outside and each hit a three-pointer to seal the score.
At the same time, David Lee used his low singles ability to reverse the situation on the court.
Just like that, the first quarter ended, and the score displayed on the big screen was 24 to 22, with the Warriors leading by 2 points.
The inter-section break is over and the second quarter begins.
The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Bledsoe, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, A Lian, and Chandler.
The lineup sent by the Lakers is: Blake, Barnes, Artest, Odom, Gasol.
The second quarter started with the Lakers attacking.
Blake dribbled forward, reached the top of the arc, observed the position of his teammates, and then passed the ball out.
Odom received the pass and released the ball directly to break through.
Arab League immediately moved sideways to block the ball and followed Odom towards the basket.
At the same time, Chandler quickly rushed back to the penalty area to help defend.
Odom broke through to the basket, squeezed away the Arab League and then flew for a layup.
Chandler, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over, raised his arms to interfere with Odom's layup, grabbed the defensive rebound, and then passed the ball out.
Sun Yi received the pass and launched a defensive counterattack.
Bledsoe and Tony Allen quickly ran towards the frontcourt for a fast break.
The players on the Lakers field retreated in a mess, and they all surrounded Sun Yi who was holding the ball.
Sun Yi smiled when he saw this scene and immediately threw the ball forward.
Bledsoe, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket excitedly, flew for a layup, and scored the first point of his NBA career.
After scoring the goal, Bledsoe was very excited and quickly ran to Sun Yi to express his gratitude.
"Eric, you played well, the fast break was very fast, keep up the hard work!"
Sun Yi encouraged him and quickly retreated to his defensive area.
After receiving encouragement from Sun Yi, Bledsoe became extremely excited, became more active in defense, and ran forward to press.
Not to mention, Bledsoe's pressing defense is really effective.
Blake was a little irritated by Bledsoe's entanglement, and passed the ball without observing his surroundings.
At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly jumped out, intercepted the pass in the air, and quickly rushed forward.
Seeing this situation, the Lakers players gave up their pursuit.
On the other side, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area and showed off a crotch dunk.
On the Warriors bench, Curry excitedly waved a towel and showed an envious expression.
This is an action that he has wanted to do all his life but cannot do!
Back on the court, Blake dribbled the ball forward. This time he didn't dare to be careless and passed the ball across half court.
In the mid-range area on the right side, Gasol received the pass and raised his hand to fake a shot. Seeing that Chandler was not fooled, he faked the fake shot and actually shot the ball.
It's a pity that the ball failed to hit!
Under the basket, Ah Lian rushed back to grab the rebound, and immediately found Sun Yi and passed the ball over.
"First Evolution"
As soon as Sun Yi received the pass, Artest stepped forward to defend him, unable to speed him up.
Seeing that the Lakers' defense became more targeted, Sun Yi frowned slightly. He knew that it would not be easy to play defensive counterattack in the future.
Falling into position to attack, Sun Yi waved to the inside and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Chandler immediately ran forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
Sun Yi bypassed the screen and accelerated towards the penalty area.
Artest tried to squeeze through the screen, but was firmly blocked by Chandler's wide body.
Gasol immediately changed defense and blocked Sun Yi's breakthrough route.
But he didn't expect Sun Yi to change direction without slowing down and rush past him quickly.
Seeing this scene, Gasol had only one thought in his mind.
Does this guy need his knees? !
With the effect of the badge [Steel and Iron Bone], Sun Yi doesn't have to worry about this kind of problem at all, his body is very durable.
When Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area, he found Odom rushing back to the basket to defend, and immediately passed the ball to the best position.
In the low post area on the right, Ah Lian received the pass and immediately took off to shoot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
30:22!
On the Lakers bench, head coach Phil Jackson frowned when he saw what was happening on the court, and immediately replaced Kobe Bryant on the court to stabilize the situation.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Lakers finally broke their scoring drought.
After Kobe and Gasol cooperated in the pick-and-roll, he faced Chandler out of position, quickly made a change of direction in front of the body, used the change of rhythm to get past Chandler, accelerated to the basket, and scored a flying layup.
Sun Yi, who had just rushed back to the basket at this time, felt a little regretful that he didn't give Nao Zai a big hit.
Looking back, Sun Yi faced Artest's defense and directly made a pull-up jumper.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Chandler struggled to grab the offensive rebound, saw Gasol coming up and passed the ball out.
Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area, received the pass, jumped into the air, stretched his body in the air, and made a tomahawk clattering gesture.
Seeing this situation, Gasol did not step forward to act as a backdrop and stayed away from him.
Peng!
Sun Yi dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
Immediately afterwards, the Lakers responded immediately. Kobe broke through and scored, assisting Gasol to complete a two-handed dunk, recovering 2 points.
In the next few rounds, the Warriors strengthened their defense, causing the Lakers' shooting percentage to drop.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Yi used the cover of his teammates to play Blake in a misplaced single, which was very efficient and further widened the point difference.
Seeing that the situation was not good for the Lakers, Phil Jackson replaced the main players one after another.
The Warriors' rotation is playing well, and Nelson is not in a hurry to continue making substitutions and adjustments.
In this way, the Warriors relied on their strong defense to compete with the Lakers.
When the game lasted about 6 minutes in the second quarter, the Warriors gradually replaced their main players to strengthen their offense.
After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors, who were full of energy, began to speed up and led the Lakers players on a back-and-forth run to consume the energy of these guys.
Bynum was so fat that he was miserable. He didn't want to lose weight. Fat people are so cute!
Bynum's inability to return to the penalty area prevented the Lakers from establishing a well-formed defensive system, allowing the Warriors to score easily.
Lakers head coach Phil Jackson couldn't stand Bynum's poor performance and replaced him with Odom.
After this substitution adjustment, the Lakers kept up with the Warriors' speed, and the two sides once again played evenly.
At the end of the half, the Warriors led by 8 points entering the second half.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe, who was extremely competitive, was unwilling to lose and started scoring mode.
The Warriors sent Sun Yi, Tony Allen and Brewer to take turns defending, consuming Nao Nai's energy.
Although it can't completely restrict Kobe, it can speed up the consumption of this guy's physical strength.
When the game entered the second half of the third quarter, Kobe had physical problems, his shooting percentage began to drop, and his efficiency was greatly affected.
The Warriors seized the opportunity and quickly launched a defensive counterattack. Sun Yi, Curry and others made contributions one after another, widening the point difference again.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead.
The inter-section break is over and the fourth quarter begins.
As soon as the Warriors came up, they came up with their trump card and used the "elevator door" tactic. Curry, Ellis and others hit consecutive three-pointers.
Seeing that the score was about to open to more than 20 points, Kobe stepped up and took on the offensive responsibility, leading the Lakers to resist the Warriors' strong firepower.
But except for Kobe, the Lakers had no stable scoring points and were never able to close the score.
It can be said that in this game, only Kobe and Gasol were in normal condition, and other players were more or less not in the game state.
This is because after the Lakers won the championship last season, the mentality of some players changed. They had a too comfortable offseason and did not adjust when the new season started.
This is the problem the Lakers have exposed, and they can't beat the top teams unless they solve it.
In the following games, the Warriors played steadily, controlling the rhythm of the game on the court, constantly consuming attack time, reducing mistakes, and not giving the Lakers any chance to overtake.
Relying on the outstanding performance of Sun Yi, Curry and others, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 108-96, getting a good start to the new season.
In terms of statistics, 5 Warriors players scored in double figures.
Sun Yi performed well in this game and won the honor of the best player of the game.
In 38 minutes on the court, he scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Curry also performed very well, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.
Ellis scored 17 points and 2 assists; David Lee scored 16 points and 7 rebounds; Chandler scored a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
For the Lakers, the most outstanding player is Kobe Bryant.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
If it weren't for Nao Nai's hard support, the Lakers would have been defeated in less than three quarters and would not have been able to reach the decisive moment.
Gasol scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists; Odom scored 15 points and 6 rebounds.
After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to shake hands with Kobe Bryant, exchanged a few words and then each walked towards the tunnel.
The Warriors got off to a good start in the new season, which is a good sign. The next games will be easier.
