In the preseason, the Lakers won all five games.

Kobe averaged 30 per game, while Wei Xia was averaging single digits per game, but scored 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

Since the preseason, the Lakers' playing style has been extremely fierce.

Someone asked Kobe if he felt the changes in the team from the five preseason games.

Kobe was as indifferent as ever: "Is the preseason a game?"

He doesn't take it seriously.

Everyone knows that Kobe is still on the Lakers' shelves, and he is still sure of his attitude towards leaving. As long as his attitude remains unchanged, the sword of Damoris hanging on the Lakers' head may fall at any time.

Something happened to Wei Xia’s family recently.

His sister Wei Chun officially graduated from UCLA and moved to Wei Xia's home because she was still looking for a job. Wei Xia hoped that she would live there forever so that his diet and daily life would be guaranteed.

Since Wei Qiu and Li Zhongxian got into a fool, his life has changed. Li Zhongxian can arrange three meals a day, but it is like a mechanical one, monotonous, repetitive, and has no new meaning.

As soon as Wei Chun arrived, Wei Xia's life improved greatly.

Wei Xia first settled down and then focused on preparing for the opening match of the new season.

The Lakers are also one of the teams participating in the opening game this year.

In the opening game, their opponent was the Houston Rockets, who were paired by Yao and McGrady.

The Lakers have many relationships with the Rockets, from Olajuwon to Francis, and then to Yao Mai. The Rockets formed by Yao Mai have not yet fought against the Lakers in the playoffs, so they have no direct ties yet. They can only dig some old-fashioned things to build up the atmosphere of their old enemies.

Unlike last year, this year's Lakers have a very difficult start schedule.

The Rockets will be played in the opening game, and then the Suns, Jazz, Hornets, Timberwolves, Spurs, and the Rockets, Pistons Bulls...

After sweeping a string of lists, the Timberwolves don't look like a serious opponent. They should be able to play garbage time. Others, normal battles are hard fights.

October 30, 2007

In the first game of the new season, the Lakers are at the Staples Center.

Houston people arrived, lined up, standing with McGrady, Alstom, Bathir, Hayes, and Yao.

Compared to last year, is there anything special about this lineup?

Answer, one year older.

Moreover, in order to make Kobe use all his strength on the offensive end, he deliberately let Wei Xia attack against Bathir and defend against McGrady.

Kobe was extremely dissatisfied with the Zen master's arrangement.

Shouldn’t he deal with the most difficult shields and the most difficult spears? Even if he is going to be traded, he will be the boss before being traded.

Jackson wisely picked out the loophole in his words: "Yao is Houston's sharpest spear. Do you want to guard against him?"

Kobe's last stubbornness: "If I had seven feet..."

"I still want to have the soft touch of Larry Bird, do you think?" Wei Xia interrupted.

Kobe snorted: "You don't think about it in your whole life."

Things are settled, and Wei Xia, who both offense and defense, will face the greatest pressure, which is exactly what he wants.

In other people's eyes, Jackson's operation was to prepare Kobe for leaving and let Wei Xia adapt in advance.

But it is not difficult for those who pay attention to the Lakers in recent seasons to find that it has become the norm for the Lakers to let Wei Xia defend the opponent's ace.

But now, even Wei Xia is the opponent's number one defender, which is strange.

But the defenders pay attention to two-way choices. If the Rockets don't arrange Bathir in front of him, then Weisha can only hypnotize himself with her eyes closed: McGrady is the Rockets' best defense outside line, McGrady is, McGrady is, what kind of minion is Bathir?

Rockets' new coach Adelman is not dazed yet.

Of course, Bathir wants to defend Kobe, while McGrady is here to fight Wei Xia.

This is something the Lakers cannot control, and they can only let the players adjust themselves.

"Kobe Bryant applied for a transaction, don't you apply?" Yao Yun's question made Wei Xia not know how to answer, and he couldn't see any causal relationship for a while.

As for jumping ball, Yao did not defeat Andrew Bynum, who was promoted to the starter.

The Buss Department's people have repeatedly obstructed it, and the Lakers are not good at strengthening the inside. Bynum, a third-year student, has made great progress than he was in the rookie period, and it is time to play as a starting player.

The Zen master knew what Bass was expecting, but he could not resist it.

Bynum played as an official starter for the first time, not as the starter of the surprises, and jumped the ball with the highest height in the league. His bounce speed and long arm that surpassed Yao Yun, winning the ball for the Lakers.

"Come on, novices, let me see your skills!"

McGrady Zhang said something disillusionable to Wei Xia with this hand.

Rookie?

"You might not know that I have been fighting for three years, right?" Wei Xia moved to the left.

"In my eyes, guys who have been within three years are rookies!" Wei Xia may be the only third-year student McGrady knows.

No, add Paul and Deron, three.

The Lakers' starting lineup is not routine, because Odom suffered a minor injury and missed the opening game. The person who replaced him as the starter was Luke Walton.

The "smart Lakers" received a pass from Fisher from the first round. It seems that Lian Laoyu has heard of his reputation.

But Walton hit the iron with a jump shot from the free throw line, letting Fisher down.

But it doesn't matter. Bynum rushed to the offensive rebound, and the person who competed with him was Yao Yun. Although Yao Yun's chassis ate Bynum tightly, the latter was not Howard's brainless muscle bully who was addicted to upper limb muscles and caused muscles to grow in his brain. His strength cannot be compared with Yao Yun, but his dynamic talent and static talent are both at the level of a divine beast. It was that talent that helped him grab the offensive rebound.

The ball is given to Kobe.

Kobe was ignorant of the game, but was beaten by Bathir's eye blocking technique and missed the shot.

Unexpectedly, the Rockets threw another offensive rebound, and Wei Xia appeared like a ghost, took the ball, hit the ground, and Bynum dunked.

2 to 0

"My time is here!" Bynum roared excitedly.

Then something even more exciting happened.

Yao Yu hit him on his back and pushed him twice, worried that the Lakers would double-team, otherwise it would be more appropriate to hit him three times.

Bynum must thank Wei Xia. It was the latter's close and distant double-teaming posture that made Yao Xun dare not take the third stroke, but instead hooked his sideways after the second impact with a bad rhythm.

With Bynum's brain capacity, Wei Xia's contribution cannot be seen, he thought it was his own credit.

Yao Yun was defended and his counterattack speed could not beat the Lakers. In a blink of an eye, 4-0.

The Rockets decided to start from the inside, and Wei Xia was transferred to a bottom corner half a position away from Yao's low-post attack, and Kobe decisively double-teamed.

Yao Yun passed the ball, but the president didn't score for three-pointers.

No one knows the frustration of teammates wasting great opportunities better than Yao Yun.

The Houstonians are lucky to have run into Walton, who has not yet adjusted from offseason mode to new season mode.

The "smarst Lakers" missed the offense, and his layup was blocked by Alstom, who seemed to have no defensive threat.

This scene caused a lot of boos.

"Luke is in a very bad condition!"

Michael Thompson said worriedly.

McGrady rushed to the backcourt to catch the rebound and played steadily to the frontcourt. Yao Yun took the lead and was ready to give Bynum a little color.

However, McGrady shot at Wei Xia's several changes in front of her body. In a flash, it seemed that people could see the peak of McGrady, the white horse spear of Orlando, back then.

Perhaps McGrady has a height that is difficult for a long man to reach, but Wei Xia's bounce power inherited from Skywalker is not a joke.

He jumped to a higher position than McGrady in an instant.

McGrady was forced to raise the curve of the shooting in exchange for a shot ball in the ring.

Neither Yao nor Bynum competed for a rebound. Instead, the showdown between Luke Walton and Hayes turned out to be the victory end of the latter.

Hayes is a pure inside player, Walton is known as the "smarest Lakers", but he is too smart and wants to make Hayes' offensive foul. Not to mention that he is higher than Hayes's naked eyes, but Hayes's right back-to-back attack method that is so regular that even Yao Zhuo is extremely awesome, it is not easy to make a foul.

Walton failed to choose to fake a fall. Hayes was just about to have an easy boardwalk. No matter what, he never thought that Wei Xia, who was outside the three-point line, would return so quickly and hit his ball to the floor from behind.

"What a good assistant defense! Wish's presence on the defensive end is really amazing!"

Wei Xia had only one thing that he didn't do well.

He didn't take the racket out of bounds or slapped his teammates under the legs.

Yao Yun bent down to pick up the ball, and Wei Xia double-teamed on the spot. He and Bynum fought one by one, successfully forcing the little giant to submit and pass the ball outward.

McGrady made an open three-pointer.

With a bang, the rebound fell into Wei Xia's hands.

Two and a half minutes passed, and except Bynum, both sides could not get a single point. It seemed that they had not recovered from the holiday.

Fisher, who was supposed to perform his point guard duties, had no movement.

As a player, he can play in many strong teams. In addition to being stable and big, he also has vision.
