Champions Creed

Chapter 433 432: You are indeed not on the same level (ask for monthly tickets!)
On the media day of the new season, all reporters had a question they wanted to ask the Warriors players.

This problem plagues most dynasty teams and is the reason why many championship teams lose their fighting spirit after winning the championship.

The question is: Does competing for the fifth consecutive year make you tired and exhausted?
Tayshaun Prince found the question ridiculous.

"What can I be dissatisfied with? I start every year in the most brilliant team in NBA history, my boss always gives me the contract I deserve in time, and my family and I moved from Compton to the Bay Area. The fans here love me and I love them too. So why should I feel tired? Tired of having to consider which ring to wear when going out because of too many rings? If possible, I would even be willing to fight for the Golden State Warriors championship throughout my career."

Matt Barnes never thought about this question.

"I've made money here, I've given my mom a big house and the best private doctors. So, I'll bite whoever Roger and Eric tell me to bite, regardless of how many championships we've won."

Jason Richardson, who had just given up his seat to Roy, spoke frankly.

"Yes, I competed with Alan Houston for the starting position, but that was because I felt I was no worse than him in training or in the game. Brandon? To be honest, that guy is better than me and can give Roger more help, so he deserves to be the starter. Returning to the bench will not make me bored with the championship season. My teammates respect me, and Poggio gave me a respectful enough contract. In the final analysis, I enjoy everything here."

Amar'e Stoudemire told reporters excitedly.

"Tired? Man, on the contrary, I'm extremely excited! I missed out on the team's third championship, so of course I have to make up for it!"

Stephen Jackson, who was arrested for speeding and carrying a gun this summer, finds the idea incredible.

"Getting more and more lax? We're not fucking women! How can we get more and more lax? Oh, don't mention what happened this summer anymore, it was a misunderstanding. You know, as a five-star citizen, I can't even shoot a fucking gun."

Dikembe Mutombo pulled out his hoarse voice.

"If next season is really Roger's last dance, then we will be the best dancers. If not, we will continue to compete for the championship. When will my last dance be? I don't know, after all, I'm still very young. Barack Obama is much older than me, and he is still running for president."

All of these interviews convey one message: The Golden State Gang's enthusiasm to continue "plundering" the league has not waned.

Apart from Boris Diaw, who had become so fat that he looked like a smaller version of O'Neal that Eric Spoelstra wanted to lock him up in the hippo area at Auckland Zoo, no one else seemed to have anything to worry about.

You may not be able to expect this team to show the same mobilization as it did during the third championship period and continue to burst out with such terrible desire.

But at least they won't decline too badly and won't become indifferent to victory because of consecutive wins.

Those who were bored, like Monta Ellis and Marcus Camby, have already left, and those who choose to stay now are those who are satisfied with their positions and roles.

Roger is still surrounded by motivated helpers, which makes Roger's statement "My biggest advantage is that I don't have LeBron by my side" intriguing.

The Golden State Gang has proven themselves to be reliable, but what about LBJ?
What kind of chemistry will he and Kobe have?
Yes, they had success at the 2006 World Championships, but that doesn't mean they can replicate that success in the NBA.

Can LeBron James become a reliable helper for Kobe?

This is the question that everyone is eager to know.

As a result, the Bay Area is no longer the hottest place in the NBA. After every day of training in Los Angeles, the locker room of the UCLA Health Center will be filled with reporters.

Today was the same. The smiling Dwight Howard looked at the group of reporters in front of him and yelled at Chauncey Billups: "Hey, maybe we should ask Dr. Jerry Buss to build us a large locker room as luxurious as the Warriors' training center. It's so crowded here that I can't even get dressed."

Dwight Howard enjoys life in Los Angeles, where he receives several times more attention than in Orlando, receives countless commercial endorsements, enjoys a life of feasting and revelry, and has the opportunity to save souls with the rainbow tactics.

Life in Los Angeles was like a dream to him. Before the season started and the team won a single game, he already felt like a superstar.

However, when Kobe and LeBron James walked into the locker room, Dwight Howard suddenly felt like he was just an ordinary star.

The moment No. 15 and No. 23 pushed open the door of the locker room, all the reporters turned towards the two of them like clockwork robots.

Kobe and James were both sweating and their jerseys were soaked.

Kobe sat in front of his locker, panting, with a serious expression.

The two of them seemed to have just had an indescribable fierce confrontation.

"LeBron, did you and Kobe just stay on the training ground for a one-on-one duel? What was the result?" a Los Angeles Times reporter asked with a smile.

"It wasn't really a one-on-one duel. We just had a shooting competition. As for the result, you can tell by looking at the guy's expression." James looked proud.

Kobe looked up at the complacent James and immediately retorted: "My shooting today became LeBron James' level, that's why I lost."

The reporters all laughed. The daily banter between these two guys has become a common sight in the Lakers locker room.

Kobe and James' relationship seems to be good, just as good as it was when they were on the Dream Team.

This is a positive sign, which means that Kobe and James can be compatible with each other and accept each other.

This means that the probability of LeBron James becoming a reliable helper is increasing.

LeBron James enjoys the current team atmosphere and his current relationship with Kobe.

But the reporter's next question made his expression disappear immediately.

"LeBron, second-year player Brandon Roy thinks he will be a helper on par with you, what do you think?"

This reporter touched LeBron's two G-spots with one question.

First, he hates the identity of "Kobe's helper".

He and Kobe are partners, and their relationship should be similar to that of Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups in the 2003 championship Pistons.

In that Pistons team, you can't say who is the helper between Big Ben and Billups, they are equally important.

But almost all Los Angeles media like to describe LBJ as "Kobe's helper", which bothers him.

The second thing he hated was that the media started comparing him with Brandon Roy.

Brandon Roy is just a sophomore rookie. Why does he think he can be on par with these super Lakers players?

When Roy said "Roger has me by his side" on media day, he implied that he thought he was no worse than LBJ, Chauncey Billups or Dwight Howard.

But last season, Brandon Roy averaged only 14 points per game, while Dwight Howard, the player with the weakest scoring ability next to Kobe, averaged 17 points per game.

This is not just about scores, this is the most intuitive and huge difference in talent.

Brandon Roy is known for his comprehensive skills, but he is not as good as the super boy who relies purely on talent and instinct to attack.

Yes, Brandon Roy successfully won the Rookie of the Year award last season. But don't forget that LBJ, who has led the team to the finals as the "best player on the team", is half a year younger than Roy!

Roy is only in his sophomore year, but he is already 23 years old. He is destined not to grow into a historical player.

James really didn't know why the outside world made that guy seem like he was on the same level as himself.

Moreover, Brandon Roy's injury risk does exist.

Last season, he missed a total of 20 games. Due to his injury history in high school and college, he only had half a meniscus in his two knees, which forced the Warriors to use him very carefully last season. Not only was his playing time limited, but also the number of appearances.

ESPN writer Mark Stein once said bluntly: "I never doubt Roger, but how much help can Brandon Roy bring to Roger? This is very doubtful. Let's not talk about anything else. Brandon at least plays 70 games every season."

Dave McMenamin, who went to Los Angeles with LeBron James, may not dare to say anything directly to Roger, but he would definitely dare to strike hard against a rookie like Brandon Roy.

"We have all heard about the Warriors' locker room traditions. I also heard that Brandon Roy is the one sitting next to Roger now. If one day, a guy like Brandon Roy is qualified to sit next to Roger, then the Warriors probably have no one left."

Even so, the Los Angeles media is still tirelessly comparing Roy and LBJ.

LeBron James' face scowled when he heard the question, but he quickly forced a smile, a very, very natural smile, and you couldn't tell that he was angry at all.

Kobe once said that he wanted to be the Will Smith of the NBA.

But the real Will Smith of the NBA was sitting opposite Kobe at this time.

His performance was almost as good as Will Smith's in I Am Legend.

James put on a gracious smile and said calmly, "Kobe and I will have a very pleasant cooperation. This is a win-win cooperation. As for Brandon, I don't know what to say. He is an extremely good player and he works very hard, but he..."

"But he and Roger led the Warriors to complete a series of shutouts against the Cavaliers last season. And your Cavaliers still didn't beat even one game against Roger last season, right? It's been three consecutive seasons that you couldn't beat Roger, and Brandon Roy deserves credit for that." The reporter from the Los Angeles Times didn't want to hear LeBron James' official answers, so he pressed on.

LeBron James couldn't continue acting. His smile disappeared and his brows furrowed. "That's enough! Don't mention that record anymore!"

LBJ's roar instantly quieted the Lakers locker room.

"Don't mention that record anymore, because it's a record that will soon be ended. It will end immediately in the first game of the new season! And don't compare me with Brandon anymore. I am me and he is him! That's it!"

The Los Angeles Times reporter was pleased with LBJ's attitude. He wanted to stir up LBJ's emotions and see LBJ get angry: "Do you want to say that you should not be compared with Brandon anymore, or do you want to say that you should not be compared with the identity of 'helper' anymore?"

This sentence was like a long needle, piercing James's head and stinging his nerves.

This statement is even more vicious than Roger's statement that "My biggest advantage is that LeBron is not around me."

Kobe Bryant stood up to defend his teammates: "Enough, LeBron is not my helper, Chauncey is not, and Dwight is not. In this Lakers team, we are equal to each other."

This sentence is as funny as what Sun Yue said in an interview after the conflict between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, "I just wanted to rush over and stop Zhu Fangyu."

But now the Los Angeles Times reporter has no rebuttal to the argument. When the game comes, people will see what kind of identity LeBron is playing with.

Before the season even started, the debate over the Lakers and Warriors had already become the focus of the media.

LeBron James is controversial.

Brandon Roy is controversial.

They all need to prove themselves in the game and end the controversy.

Kobe and Roger also need to prove that they can beat each other.

This is what David Stern would like to see.

He didn't waste any of the commercial value of the Warriors and the Lakers.

Opening game, Warriors vs. Lakers.

Christmas battle, Warriors vs. Lakers.

The current situation proves that he no longer needs to worry about the ratings for the new season.

Fans are counting the days waiting for the opening game. They want to see if LBJ can break the curse and if Brandon Roy can become a qualified guard for the Kings.

What makes fans even more excited is that both the Lakers and Warriors performed quite well in the preseason.

The Golden State Warriors are still as dominant as ever, while the Los Angeles Lakers have not encountered any problems with acclimatization.

Kobe Bryant is indeed selfless. He gives more control of the ball to Billups and James.

In fact, working with Steve Nash in the past few years has made Kobe completely open to off-ball offense.

Dwight Howard is not yet the successful Dwight Howard, so he is willing to set pick-and-rolls and do some dirty work.

Just remember to give him a chance to post up every few minutes, he'll be happy to take them, and keep up the enthusiasm.

And Chauncey Billups is a master at distributing the ball. He always knows when to give the ball to whom.

The biggest problem with multi-star teams is that the stars must make sacrifices to varying degrees, and in the NBA where individual heroism is prevalent, sacrifice is often accompanied by contradictions.

But the Lakers have really solved this problem, at least for now.

Kobe, James, Billups and Howard each play their respective roles. Although their coordination is still a bit awkward, there are currently no major problems for this team.

And just like that, the much-anticipated opening match arrived.

ESPN predicts that this will be a live broadcast with tens of millions of viewers.

David Stern was present at the event to admire this grand occasion.

When the players from both teams came out to warm up, the cheers were out of control.

The Lakers players can't wait to show their current strength, but they have to watch the Warriors raise the championship flag and watch the Warriors players receive championship rings very uncomfortably.

Dwight Howard and Chauncey Billups may not have much to say about this scene.

One of them is still too young, while the other already has a ring and a FMVP.

But Kobe and LeBron James almost broke their teeth.

That flag, that ring, were all made of their blood and bones!
After receiving the rings, the starting players of both sides took their positions.

The Golden State Warriors' starting lineup is exactly the same as last season: Roy, Roger, Prince, Stephen Jackson and Stoudemire.

On the Lakers side, there are Billups, Kobe, James, Vladimir Radmanovic, and Dwight Howard.

Although a summer has passed, fans can still feel a sense of oppression when this starting lineup actually stands on the court.

Even the Lakers' bench is full of stars. This summer, they brought back Phil Jackson.

Kobe and Phil Jackson have had a frank talk. The Zen Master can feel that Kobe has matured and is no longer at the age to go against his coach.

So, from the players on the court to the coaches off the court, the Lakers' configuration is as golden as their main color.

In the words of Mike Breen: "Vladimir standing in the Lakers' starting lineup is like a creature from another dimension."

Of course, Charles Barkley's comment on the ski man last night was more apt: "It's like Kenny Smith wearing women's clothes and blending in with a bunch of supermodels."

LeBron James supported his knees with his hands and looked up at Brandon Roy.

He hated this guy who was always compared to himself.

As a loyal "royalist", Roy looked at James without fear.

Yes, his comments definitely angered the Lakers.

And the game against the Lakers will definitely be difficult.

The night James announced the result on "The Decision," Brandon Roy even felt a little scared. He couldn't imagine how strong the Lakers would be.

But during the offseason that followed, he had no distractions.

Could this be harder than working as a porter at the docks?

Kobe walked near the center circle, and he was extremely excited at the thought of defeating his long-time rival.

"I'll put an end to your last dance."

Roger laughed as he moved his waist.

"Shaq met you and found out that I was such a great teammate. You will also have such a day, when you meet LeBron, who is a terrible helper, you will find out that Shaq is not bad at all."

The anger in LeBron James' heart continued to burn, and the word "helper" sounded too harsh to him.

"Shut the fuck up Roger," LeBron James couldn't help but interrupt, "The result tonight will speak for itself!"

"What are you barking about? Did I talk to you? I beat you up and you ran to Kobe, yelling 'help', hoping he would seek justice for you. The whole world knows what happened. You and Kobe are like the relationship between the undertaker Bonasara and the old Godfather at the beginning of the movie 'The Godfather'. They both call each other friends, but their status is very different.

You are the only one in the world who is deceiving yourself and thinking that you are equal to Kobe. From the day you chose to cling to Kobe's thigh, you are no longer qualified to have an equal dialogue with me, so you should shut up. I am talking to your master. "

Roger didn't use a single curse word, but he scolded LeBron James so much that his heart was bleeding.

"LeBron and I are equal," Kobe immediately stood up, "It's not your turn to judge."

"Okay," Roger smiled, "I would say that Brandon and I are equal. I hope you can interpret what equality means with your actions. I will do that anyway."

Roger dampened the Lakers' spirit and also encouraged Brandon Roy.

Roger really wasn't worried about Roy at all.

There is no need to worry about his health.

Before the start of the season, Warriors chief team doctor Chelsea Ryan evaluated Roy's physical condition. Last season, because he was not used to this level of confrontation, Roy was strictly protected.

But this season, Chelsea Ryan believes Roy's health will not be a fatal problem.

He will still require some level of load management, but will not miss more than 10 games a season.

This is equivalent to defusing the last time bomb on Brandon Roy, which means that Brandon Roy can get more playing time.

Roger had nothing to worry about him. If he played normally, he could be of great help to Roger.

The referee kicked off and the game finally began.

Amar'e Stoudemire's athletic ability is already amazing, but Dwight Howard's jumping speed is even better.

He took the lead in winning the ball for the Lakers, with Chauncey Billups in control.

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were at two 45-degree positions respectively, while Billups and Howard played pick-and-roll.

Howard's pick-and-roll was very solid, and Brandon Roy found it difficult to get around it in the first place. Amar'e Stoudemire immediately switched defense and delayed Billups for a while.

After Roy quickly returned to his position, Amar'e Stoudemire immediately turned around to chase Howard.

But as soon as he turned around, Dwight Howard jumped into the air.

Meanwhile, the basketball had been thrown by Billups.

No one could stop the pass in midair, Kobe and James attracted too much defensive attention, and Stephen Jackson was also guarding Radmanovich. The skier may not be a superstar, but his three-point threat should not be underestimated.

Dwight Howard easily grabbed the ball with one hand and slammed it into the basket.

A typical Lakers offense, full of passing, coordination, gorgeousness and excitement.

In the past many years, the Los Angeles Lakers have not been the ultimate winner. But if fans are asked to choose a team with the best game viewing experience, most fans will choose the Los Angeles Lakers.

Dwight Howard showed his signature smile, hugged Chauncey Billups' bald head and gave him a kiss.

In the first round of the new season, neither Kobe nor James finished the offense. They seemed to be intentionally showing Roger what he said before the game: "We are equal."

Chauncey Billups can handle the ball, Dwight Howard can score, and Kobe and James can help open up space.

They are a team that is able to sacrifice for each other and is extremely close-knit.

Kobe glanced at Roy, whose defense collapsed because he couldn't get around the pick-and-roll quickly. "Brandon, you are also by Roger's side? No, you are precisely the biggest weakness around him."

Kobe had no problem with Roy, in fact, he admired the little guy.

But he knew that Brandon Roy was under tremendous pressure, and if he could break his mentality, the game would be much easier.

Kobe was just using his own method to fight back. He knew that Roger was also attacking LBJ's mentality.

Then let’s see whose teammate collapses first!
Brandon Roy remained calm in the face of Kobe's trash talk.

He controlled the ball across half court and calmly directed the offense in the face of Billups' defense.

Chauncey Billups tried to steal the ball, but Brandon Roy seized the opportunity and passed him with a superb cross-leg change of direction.

Chauncey Billups is an experienced veteran, and he doesn't like gambling-style steals.

Just now, he really chose the right time.

After all, Brandon Roy is a 198-centimeter-tall power forward, and Chauncey Billups believes that his dribbling cannot be so smooth and excellent.

But Brandon Roy did not let Billups succeed. When he was one step behind the free throw line, Roy stopped suddenly and prepared to shoot a mid-range shot.

LeBron James immediately came to defend, wanting to use a block to let the whole world see the gap between him and Roy.

Roy caught a glimpse of No. 23 who was quickly coming up to defend, so he temporarily changed his shot into a pass in the air.

Dwight Howard immediately went around to Amar'e Stoudemire and tried to steal the ball because that was the teammate closest to Roy in his field of vision.

Stoudemire marveled at Dwight Howard's upper body strength, as he seemed to gain advantageous position with only a slight bump.
For a second-year rookie, Brandon Roy seemed to have fallen into a death trap.

Either it was blocked by LBJ or it was stolen by Dwight Howard.

The difference in their talents has been clearly demonstrated.

But Roy didn't make any mistakes and wasn't blocked.

He pulled the ball back to his waist in the air and fed it to Roger who was cutting in along the baseline!

This is a very tricky angle, and even Chauncey Billups may not be sure to find such an opportunity.

Being able to find opportunities is secondary. The most important thing is that Brandon Roy's pass is very accurate and just right.

After Roger received the ball, he took two big steps and rushed to the basket. Dwight Howard immediately turned around and jumped to block him. It must be said that Howard's physical fitness before the serious injury was really terrible. He jumped much later than Roger, but he covered the basket in an instant.

However, Roger avoided the block with a pull-up move and scored a layup easily.

Brandon Roy's ability to find teammates in a small area is completely unlike that of a sophomore, and his control of mistakes is very good.

Roy is indeed a shooting guard, but his passing and control skills are quite good, and his ability to control mistakes is comparable to that of a top point guard.

Roger can safely hand the ball to Roy to control and look for opportunities himself.

2 to 2, the two sides tied.

With Roy as the second passer, Roger can finally focus on scoring.

One round later, the Lakers had LBJ controlling the ball.

When he crossed half court, all the fans stood up.

Because Roger is personally guarding him!

James first stopped at the top of the arc and passed the ball to Kobe in the low post.

Kobe felt the opportunity was not good, so he passed the ball back to LBJ.

LeBron James also called on Howard to set a screen. Without thinking, Roger chose to go around the screen from behind Howard, giving James space for mid-range and long-range shots.

LeBron James seized the opportunity and made a direct jump shot.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket heavily and bounced out. Roger had thought of a bunch of trash talk to attack James who missed the shot, but at this moment, one sentence was like something that was about to be launched and went straight to Roger's crown.

"LeBron, you really played like Scottie Pippen in the triangle offense."

Once again, Roger hurt LeBron James' heart without using any dirty words, and James had no words to refute Roger for a while.

Yes, organization at the top of the arc, unstable mid-range and long-range shooting, and being a secondary attacker. Isn’t what he did exactly what Scott Pippen did next to Jordan and Roger?

But at the peak of his career, Scott Pippen was only the best second player in the league, which was extremely inconsistent with the positioning that James gave himself and the positioning that Nike gave James!
Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and it was the Warriors' turn to attack again.

This time it was Roger's turn to control the ball. He broke through and attracted the double-team before passing the ball outside the three-point line. Brandon Roy happened to be in the perfect position and made a steady three-pointer!
5 is better than 2!

Mike Breen couldn't help but applaud. He thought traditional fans should enjoy the game content presented by Roy.

He can play top-notch passing and control, but he can also move smartly without the ball and knock down catch-and-shoot jumpers like a top-notch traditional two.

Roy's static and dynamic talents are not top-notch, but his basketball IQ seems to be innate.

In high school, Roy claimed that the reason he repeatedly failed the SAT exam was because of "dyslexia."

Whatever his excuses, his grades in high school were appalling.

And Brandon Roy is not the kind of person who doesn't work hard, but he just can't improve his results.

His IQ was not reflected in his academics, but what about basketball? When he first went to college, Washington University coach Lorenzo Lomar was shocked by Roy because he was familiar with all the team's tactics in two days.

If there is a spokesperson for combo guards, that person is definitely Brandon Roy.

Roy is using his consecutive outstanding performances to prove what he said on the media day, proving that he can be Roger's trusted helper.

What about LBJ?
In the next attack, Kobe held the ball in the low post, but was double-teamed.

Roger, who was originally defending James, double-teamed Kobe and left James open!
Kobe passed the ball to No. 23, who was a little hesitant.

His touch didn't seem to be ideal today, and he missed his first shot.

Moreover, Roger's defense was very quick. He immediately turned around and went to James again.

"Shoot!" Kobe couldn't help but yell at James.

The three-point shooting percentage of No. 23 last season and in the preseason was 31%, which is a very typical shooting percentage, meaning that this player has certain three-point shooting ability, but his accuracy is very unstable.

But in Kobe's opinion, he has to shoot when he has the chance. Whether it is reasonable or not, and what the hit rate is, are not the primary considerations.

After Kobe shouted this, James shot the ball.

But the hasty move coupled with Roger's interference, the result is predictable.

"boom!"

"It's not good," Mike Breen said, feeling like he was watching a replay of previous seasons. Roger had James completely under control. "LeBron missed both shots. He was a little hesitant."

Roger laughed deliberately: "Yes, Scott's three-pointer is the same."

James immediately chased back angrily and defended Roger personally.

Seeing this, Roger raised his hand to ask for the ball, and then directed everyone to move away.

He got the basketball and faced the guy he had beaten badly in last season's finals.

Roger didn't call for a pick-and-roll or ask for any assistance. He just changed his dribbling rhythm and kept dribbling with his left and right hands.

Near the three-point line, Roger accelerated to the left. Seeing James start to move sideways, Roger turned to the right again.

But after turning around, Roger did not continue to break through, but instead retreated, which completely passed James and gave him space to shoot.

Take action and hit.

7:2.

Roger spread his hands and said, "Fortunately, I don't have a useless teammate like LeBron. Kobe, why don't you just attack directly?"

On the bench, Phil Jackson cursed loudly. He knew that Roger was targeting No. 23 and was trying to drain the mind of No. 23.

That's why he hated Roger, who didn't just try to defeat his opponents, but always tried to destroy them psychologically.

LeBron James is very angry and he thinks he is becoming a loophole for this super Lakers team.

One possession later, when James took control of the ball, Kobe yelled for it.

James passed the ball, but this immediately drew Roger's ridicule: "Good dog, better than Scott."

Kobe missed his turnaround jump shot, and the Warriors got another chance to widen the score.

The most important thing is that LBJ's breathing has become heavy. Of course, he is not breathing heavily due to fatigue now, but his breathing has become heavy because his emotions are on the verge of collapse.

Furious, he continued to actively defend Roger, which completely disrupted the Lakers' deployment.

At that moment, Roger actually admired LBJ very much.

He was actually actively defending the Warriors' strongest player instead of hiding behind Kobe, Billups and Howard with his hands on his hips.

Roger vowed that if he was eligible to vote, he would definitely cast a vote for LBJ for the best defensive player.

There simply isn't a better LeBron.

But LBJ's defense failed again. Roger and Stoudemire played pick-and-roll, and LBJ's body meant that he couldn't get around them quickly.

Chauncey Billups had to help defend, but Roger calmly passed the ball to Roy who cut in, and the latter made a layup despite the double block of Howard and the skiing man - as a fan of Roger, Brandon Roy practiced this skill hard.

Howard used his terrifying jumping ability to fan the basketball away, but the referee immediately blew the whistle, saying it was a foul and the 2 points were still counted.

Passing, long shots, cutting into the basket. Brandon Roy is like a woman in the window of Amsterdam's red light district, tirelessly showing off everything he has.

LeBron James was lost. Although Roy scored the goal, the collapse of the defense started with him.

He couldn't defend Roger, and he wanted to save some energy for attacking, so he didn't have the ruthlessness to devote himself to defense.

"LeBron, is this how you plan to break the curse of not being able to defeat me?"

9 to 2, the Oracle Arena was almost collapsed by the cheers of the fans.

No one dared to believe that the game would start like this, and no one believed that the Warriors would completely suppress the super Lakers in the early stages.

Roger is as strong as ever, and Roy is proving himself with a perfect performance.

One round later, Kobe passed the ball to Howard in the low post, but was fouled by Amar'e Stoudemire.

This almost determined the outcome of this offensive round. Dwight Howard's free throws were not reliable.

Phil Jackson sighed, the Lakers' offense was a bit too chaotic.

They wanted so much to show each other's selflessness that the game ended up being very messy.

At this time, there should be a stabilizing force to stabilize the situation for the Lakers.

Instead, the ball ended up in the hands of Dwight Howard.

Sure enough, Howard missed both free throws, and the score was still 9-2.

After Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, he found Roger directly and Roger drove straight in to launch a counterattack.

But Kobe was biting Roger, using confrontation to force Roger to slow down, and was ready to jump and chase at any time.

But when he chased into the penalty area, he saw LeBron James chasing him from behind.

If there was a close-up shot, fans would clearly see that Kobe's eyes at this moment were like a lion wanting to kill the stupid dog in front of it.

Kobe couldn't understand why LeBron James appeared next to him. He had already been defending Roger. Shouldn't LBJ be defending someone else at this time?
This is normal. Rajon Rondo and others don't know why James has to chase them like a dog picking up bones when they are on fast break.

James wanted to save face so badly and block Roger so badly.

This made him ignore the overall defense.

He has lost his basic sanity.

Roger jumped into the air, LBJ gathered strength in his arms and slapped the ball hard, but it only hit the backboard because Roger changed to pass the ball to Tayshaun Prince.

In this fast break, he should have been LBJ's defensive target.

The little prince received the ball and easily took an open three-pointer. Even the athletic LBJ could not catch up from the three-second zone to outside the three-point line.

"brush."

12 to 2, this score is a shame for Los Angeles fans and a shame for this starting lineup.

It is also a shame for LBJ.

The ball went in and Roger gave Tayshaun Prince a thumbs up.

Then look at No. 23 and No. 15.

"LeBron, you and Brandon are really not on the same level. You are much worse than him. Kobe, I'm very sorry. You chose a loser as your teammate and invited a loser as your coach. When you two are combined, it will be a huge failure."

The game was paused, LeBron James didn't say anything, just looked at Kobe.

He expected Kobe to pat him on the shoulder like he always did and say softly, "It's OK, LeBron."

But Kobe didn't do that.

He just turned and walked away.
