The new season started as soon as possible. The summer league passed by and Xiao Han didn't participate, so he felt it was soon. Then the training camp began and a new round of competition began again.

As early as two months ago, the league announced the entire schedule of this season. The Lakers are the Lakers. Although Howard had left and Xiao Han had not come yet, they could be found in the opening match on October 30 (31st Beijing time) or in the Christmas game that was another focus.

Before the start of the season, the Lakers ushered in great good news, or a miracle, and Kobe recovered and returned at such a fast speed!

Achilles tendon rupture is one of the serious injuries of athletes, especially basketball players. Generally speaking, after suffering such a heavy blow, even if an athlete can return, his explosive power will be much worse than before, and his condition may gradually decline, and he may never be able to return to his former self. In the most serious case, his career may be reimbursed.

Of course, there are no exceptions. The same thing happened to Dominic Wilkins, known as the essence of human films. In January 1992, Dominic Wilkins was 32 years old and had a ruptured Achilles tendon. Before that, he averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game. By the next season, he returned, playing 71 games, averaging 29.9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In the next season, he averaged 26 points per game, fourth in the league. In another three years, he was 38 years old, and he has a foothold in Europe, and was called back by **Vic. Wilkins averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds that year, and almost scored the sixth man of the year.

The recovery time Wilkins used was probably the shortest of those who had suffered the same injuries in history. Therefore, everyone was predicting that it would be great to have Kobe back in 8 months. However, after Summer said that he was likely to be able to come back early, it took less than 7 months in total, Kobe actually reappeared in front of the public again.

But, is he still the omnipotent Kobe? This needs to be proved through the game.

There is no shortage of games, and it is a tough battle, the focus battle, the third game of the opening game, that is, the last game, the Bulls vs. Heat will start immediately after the game, and the Clippers will play against the Lakers away.

Of course, this game doesn't matter whether it is home or away. Xiao Han thought that he would miss two away trips this season, which is quite interesting, because there is no such situation between the other two teams in the NBA. Although the Nets have moved to New York, they are far away in Brooklyn and are not together with Manhattan, so it is even more impossible to share a stadium.

Kobe is really the most ruthless person in the league today. God knows what intensity of training he has already conducted this summer. He can start in the first game of his comeback.

The Lakers' starting lineup is indeed Carman, Gasol, Kobe, Xiao Han, and Nash. Wesley Johnson, who could have played the starter, was squeezed to the bench. Of course, he can't resent Xiao Han. Why? Xiao Han is not willing to play the second position.

D'Antoni's idea is also simple. Xiao Han and Nash can control the ball, so let Nash be the main control. Xiao Han focuses on the offense and can organize it from time to time. This is the best, but he forgot that this should have been Gasol's job.

It can be seen that D'Antoni dislikes Gasol, or how great his role is in an axis inside line, is already ignorant. To be honest, in the face of such an arrangement, Xiao Hanning insists that Antoni arranges him to hit the sixth man.

The team's starting lineup is not to put all your best players up. **Vic and his Spurs have been rampant in the league for so many years, and have eliminated the Suns 4-0. Why doesn't D'Antoni know how to learn a little?

The Clippers' lineup has changed a lot this season. The team's starting small forward Caron Butler and substitute point guard Bledso were all traded to the Suns by them, Billups also returned to the Pistons, and they got Jared Dudley and ** Redick. In addition, they also signed Darren Collison, who performed well last season as Paul's substitute.

Compared with the two teams, the Clippers are still strong like the previous two seasons, while the Lakers seem to have some lack of foundation.

DeAndrew Jordan claimed several times that he has been practicing his shooting skills. Xiao Han doesn't believe this, and no one else will believe it. To be honest, in the NBA league, it is rare to see a strange inside line like Jordan, who can't shoot at all, not at all.

This may be a permanent hidden danger for the Clippers, but they did not expect that this hidden danger broke out in the first game of the season. Carman did nothing on the defensive end and kept pushing Jordan out. With just such a simple move, the power of the Clippers' inside line on the offensive end was greatly reduced.

If Jordan Jr. is not allowed to get close to the basket, he becomes a waste. Although Griffin is a little stronger than Jordan Jr., in essence, it is actually the same. He may be in good shape one day, but after all, it is not Qi Feng. If he can shoot from the outside, he will not defeat any team.

So what Gasol and Kaman did was actually one thing, which was to prevent their opponents from getting close to the basket. Although it was a bit difficult, they could barely do it.

Things are not as simple as saying one thing. Jordan and Griffin are both good at strength, while Carman and Gasol are not only older, but also technically when they were young. It is indeed quite difficult to compete with these two young people now, but if they just stick it up and make them uncomfortable, and when the opponent is in a position, they can barely do it.

However, this is just a way to stop the Clippers from attacking the most. Jordan Jr.'s offense is completely negligible in the Clippers' system. This was the case last season and this season is still the case. When Rivers was with the Celtics, he never had any requirements for Perkins' offense. As for Griffin, he himself did not like to go to the basket to play, fast break, and dunk. This is the way they were determined to turn Los Angeles into their "all-connected city".

But the Clippers' fast attack cannot be fought.

Paul is suitable for doubting whether D'Antoni had arranged for Xiao Han to defend him so closely before the game, but Xiao Han did this in the game, and what made him most depressed was that Xiao Han only guarded against his breakthroughs and passes, and did not care about his shooting.

This made Paul very depressed. His attack power was obviously not to be underestimated, but even if Xiao Han ignored it, he still grabbed his weakness. The Clippers' most powerful thing is that Paul gave two inside players, especially Griffin's fast pass to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm. When the opponent focuses on the defense on both of them, the outside shooter will get a chance, whether it is Butler last year or the new Dudley this year, he has such ability.

However, the ball could not be out of Paul, and the offense had no rhythm from the beginning, and the entire tactical system was completely destroyed.

Paul hates him, why he hates himself for not growing taller, so that Xiao Han can easily block most of his passing routes. Otherwise, no matter how deep Xiao Han knows the passing technique, he will never know how he will pass the ball and destroy it immediately.

Without Paul's quick shot, the Clippers naturally would not have a fast attack. The two sides were fighting in such a position, which was exactly what the Lakers were best at. Kobe, Gasol, Xiao Han, and even Kaman, who was not a master of half-court offense?

But this is contrary to D'Antoni's arrangement before the game. Defense is not what he wants, positional battles are not what he wants. He only wants one, speed! However, as the commander on the court, his most trusted disciple, Nash did not bring up the rhythm according to his instructions. Instead, he seriously started a defense that he was not good at, although Nash defended himself as Redick, who was not outstanding in creating points.
