8:30 PM.
Staples Center.
There was still half an hour before the start of the game, but the stadium was already filled with fans and spectators.
Los Angeles was the second largest city in the United States. This was the popularity and traffic that he should have, even if the Los Angeles team had lost ten consecutive seasons.
On the court.
The Spurs players and the Laker players were in their warm-up suits and doing their final warm-up exercises on the court.
Qin Rui was also training, but he was rather inconspicuous.
In the studio behind TNT.
Tonight's game between the Laker and the Spurs would be explained by the famous commentators, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley.
O'Neill sat on the swivel chair and slowly shook his body."Charles, do you think the Laker can win their first win of the season tonight and avoid a losing streak?!”
"It's not impossible, but it will be very difficult.”
Barkley said bluntly," If the Laker wants to win this game, not only do they need a surprise attack, but the Spurs also need to play abnormally.”
"Don't look at the Spurs 'average record, but in terms of the team's strength, from the head coach to the players, the Spurs are completely better than the Lakers.”
O'Neill smiled awkwardly.
Even if it was the truth, he couldn't look down on the Laker so openly.
However, he also knew that this was Barkley. This forthright and unpretentious personality was Charles Barkley's patent.
"The Spurs 'lineup does have the advantage, but the Laker has a lot of young players. They're full of energy and can't be underestimated.”
"He can better connect with this group of young people.”
O'Neill continued, and Barkley nodded.""That's right. Bauer is still a player with potential. If he was there, the Laker's record wouldn't be so bad.”
Lonzo Bauer.
This year's second-runner-up, and also the MVP of the Summer League.
O'Neill and Barkley's words were enough to give Bauer face, but it was just a topic of conversation before the game.
On the court.
Not long after.
The warm-up time was over.
The starting lineup of both teams began to play.
Los Angeles. Starting lineup: Kentavios Cardwell Bopp (guard), Josh Hart (guard), Julius Randle (forward), Brandon Ingram (forward), Brook Lobes (center).
San Antonio Spurs starting lineup: Patrick Mills (guard), Danny Green (guard), LaMarcus Aldridge (forward), Kyle Anderson (forward), Pau Gasol (center).
Qin Rui sat beside the water dispenser.
His gaze was calm as he watched everything on the field. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, waiting for a chance to play and a chance to prove himself.
"Go, Laker!"
"The Laker is the strongest!"
"The Laker is the best!"
The home fans were as enthusiastic as fire, and their shouts were like a tide.
The match began.
“jump、ball！”
Gasol and Rodriguez fought for the ball. Accompanied by high cheers, Rodriguez picked up the ball, Kuzma received the ball, and the Laker took the first attack of the game.
Bopp took the ball and crossed the half court.
He came to the middle of the arc and faced Mills 'defense. He passed the ball to the high position on the right.
"Pa!"
Ingram received the ball and faced Danny Green, who was shorter than him. He pulled it up and threw a mid-range shot.
"Clang."
The basketball hit the iron. Aldridge received the rebound. Mills received the ball and pushed forward in the front field. He forced Bopp to the top of the left arc and immediately passed the ball to Anderson, who was cutting in the middle.
"Whoosh!"
Anderson then transferred the ball to Gasol, who pretended to break through the basket, but in fact, he was in the low position, Aldridge.
"Pa!"
Aldridge, who received the ball in an open space, shot a mid-range jump shot.
"Swoosh!"
It hit steadily.
The Spurs took the lead.
The right to the ball.
Kuzma received a pass from Randall on the left arc. Seeing that the defense did not make up for it in the first place, he decisively shot a three-pointer. However, he was still caught up from behind by Aldridge's interference.
"Clang!"
This shot was also forged.
The Spurs switched offense, and Mills quickly pushed forward with the ball. Under the cover of Aldridge's middle, he forced a kill on the right and attacked the basket.
The defense immediately shrank.
"Whoosh!"
Mills suddenly passed back to Aldridge.
"Oh no, it's a feint, and we're still looking for Aldridge.”
Ingram reacted and quickly chased after him. Hart also quickly helped to defend. They could not let the Spurs attack the same attack twice.
But at this moment.
"Whoosh!"
Aldridge divided the ball again. Green received the ball at the top of the right arc. The latter raised his hand and slashed. After three points in the empty space, he hit the ball in the air.
The Spurs scored again.
Immediately after, Hart did not throw. Gasol shot down low to hit Lopes behind his back. After attracting the defensive firepower, he glanced at the entire court from the corner of his eyes and decisively passed the ball to the outside.
"Pa!"
In the high position on the left, it was still Aldridge who received the ball. It was still the mid-range that he was good at, and he shot after receiving the ball.
"Swoosh!"
Aldridge scored another goal.
Los Angeles (0): San Antonio (7)
"Beep beep-"
The Clippers called a time-out.
The Spurs started the game 7-0 and beat the Los Angeles Clippers to a time-out.
"The Los Angeles and San Antonio Spurs each attacked three times, but the difference is obvious.”
In the studio at the back.
Barkley shook his head. O'Neill understood what he meant and said,"The offensive mode of the Los Angeles Clippers is too simple.”
"But their ability to end the attack is not strong, so they can't score.”
"On the other hand, the Spurs are clearly stronger, but they always patiently transfer the ball and look for the best opportunity to shoot. It is also easier to score.”
"That's right." Barkley echoed," Let's see how Warton will adjust his players and how he will arrange his tactics. If we continue to play blindly, there will be no suspense in this game.”
On the bench of the Los Angeles team.
Coach Wharton was holding the tactical board and rearranging the tactics. Qin Rui, who was listening to him, had a subtle flash in his eyes and his heart sank.
"Only seven points. It's not enough, not enough. The difference in points needs to be bigger. Only then will I have a chance to play.”
