One day apart, reunion arena.

The Lakers continued to kill the Mavericks once with a score of 123 to 101, and double-killed the Mavericks within three days.

He then defeated the Nuggets, Hawks, Bulls, Nets and Jazz to expand the winning streak in the new season to 10 games.

In the new round of official strength rankings, the Lakers are still at the top, while the Trail Blazers and Spurs continue to be second and third.

O'Neal averaged 38 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Ginobili scored 15 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.

Lewis had 11 points and 3 rebounds.

Brad Miller scored 9 points and 4 rebounds.

To be honest, the four of them performed well in data, and in addition to their own strength, they all have the same reason.

Don't ask, it's Kobe who is injured.

In Li Mu's previous life, in the 199/00 season, Kobe only played 66 games in the regular season because he was injured in the preseason and only returned in December.

In other words, O'Neal played a single core with nearly 1/4 of the game schedule, and his playing time was more than 40 minutes, so the data was so explosive.

Because of Li Mu's appearance, Kobe avoided the preseason match against the Wizards and injured his right hand, but still could not escape the fracture of his right hand.

When fighting against the Hawks, Mutoms' blocking injured Kobe and it took 5 weeks to return.

So, Ginobili and Lewis got more opportunities to play, especially Ginobili, who played an important scoring role when there were not many authentic scorebacks on the Lakers.

Kobe's injury has a great impact on Li Mu's arrangement of troops. Without Kobe's no-ball tactics, the connection between the iron-smashing team is a lot of problem.

Fortunately, the Lakers' strong lineup has no impact on the outcome of the victory.

By the way, Li Mu saw something terrifying.

On the training ground, Kobe played plaster with his right hand and actually practiced shooting with his left hand.

In the future, Cuban was defeated by Kobe's left-handed shot, and this is the reason.

No wonder Ginobili entered the NBA early.

Anyone who encounters an opponent like Kobe and does not speed up the catching up will be left far behind by Kobe.

Kobe off the court is also so terrifying.

After 10 consecutive victories, the Lakers met a decent opponent: Rockets.

By the way, this Rockets could have challenged the Lakers in the new season.

After all, the Rockets robbed the Grizzlies in the offseason and brought Frances.

This person, in the first 10 regular season games, is not like a rookie at all. He can average 20 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, and has almost confirmed the award for the best rookie.

One word, powerful!

If you add the old cat Mobri, Batman Pippen, Flying Pig Bucks, and Big Dream Olajuwon.

This Rockets really doesn't need to ask: Do I have a chance?

However, the conflict between Pippen and Barkley completely broke out.

When he lost the regular season last season, Pippen always likes to keep Barkley unable to move.

After being eliminated in the playoffs, Pippen said in an interview: "Before the Rockets, Michael persuaded him that Barkley would never have a championship life.

Because he didn't understand what sacrifice was, he was an extremely selfish person. Judging from his body, he could not even maintain a qualified physique.

Now, I want to get out of here.”

Barkley naturally didn't want to hear Pippen throw the loss on his head.

He only earned an annual salary of 1 million yuan, and he received the annual salary of a character player, but he scored the data of superstars.

Do you call this "can't carry it"?

Originally, in the 93/94 season, he lost to the Bulls led by Pippen and Jordan in the finals, and he was unhappy with Pippen.

Now Pippen is paying tens of millions of yuan in annual salary, but he doesn't want to take responsibility after losing the ball. He has no way to blame him for losing.

Seeing that Barkley and Pippen were in a state of power, the Rockets knew that they would be wasted when they stayed together, so they would send Pippen away.

Staying Barkley is not because Barkley is strong and fragrant, but because Barkley has a PY deal with the Rockets.

In the 98/99 season, the reason why Barkley was willing to accept a basic salary of 1 million was because the Rockets gave him an annual salary of 9 million in the 99/00 season.

This is similar to the Timberwolves' Yin-Yang contract.

The difference is that Barkley and the Rockets signed a PY deal before the league was suspended and the luxury tax clause had not been issued.

The Timberwolves, however, came after the luxury tax clause was introduced.

November 21, Houston, Toyota Center Arena.

The Lakers challenge the Rockets away.

After a simple appearance and warm-up, Li Mu started five players and sent Billups, Les, Bowen, Daben, and O'Neal.

Ginobili's strength as a starting point guard is still a little weaker, so it would be better to let Rice play.

The Rockets started five players, point guard Francis, point guard Mobri, small forward Walter Williams, power forward Barkley, and center Olajuwon.

Beep~~

A whistle sounded, and the game started with the scrambling ball.

O'Neal defeated Olajuwon and won the first attack for the Lakers.

Billups took the ball in the frontcourt, and O'Neal was surrounded by the dream and passed the ball directly to Les.

Receive the ball, jump up, and face Mobley's defense, it was a three-point jump shot.

The forward is 2.01 meters tall, facing the point guard's body of 1.93 meters.

Mobri's body's defense was so disappointing that he could only sigh at Les's defeat.

Swish—!

Les is not Kobe.

The three-pointer took the knife and made a steadily three-pointer.

3 to 0!!

The Rockets attacked, and Francis rushed to catch the ball, ignoring Barkley and Olajuwon.

Charged to the frontcourt, dribbled continuously, accelerated, started, broke through Billups' defense, and broke into the inside line. Before Daben's block was completed, he was the first to throw the basketball into the sky.

Swish—!

A small throw shot made two points.

3 to 2!!

"Francis, who played against the Lakers' defense alone, seemed unreasonable, but he played and rushed forward unstoppable.

This physical talent is so strong!" Mike Bryn explained.

Outside the field, Li Mu shook his head.

Billups seems not good at facing the speed point guard.

By the way, Francis' height may have been falsely reported.

It is not just because he stands beside Yao Ming that he seems shorter.

From the scene, Francis is definitely not as tall as 1.88 meters.

On the field.

O'Neal received the basketball, which was a disaster for 37-year-old Olajuwon.

He was skillfully versatile, and could only watch O'Neal pick his body away, turn around, jump up, and slam it with one hand and knock the basketball into the basket.

5 to 2!!

"The dream can't stand it anymore.

The size of the two sides is too different."

After only playing the first round, Li Mu felt stable.

Olajuwon's condition has declined too seriously.

The young sharks can explode with the peak Olajuwon, which is completely different now.

At this time, Li Mu turned his attention to Francis.

On the court, Francis rushed to the frontcourt and saw Billups' defense slightly closed, so he immediately pulled out a three-point jump shot and made a jump shot...

Swish—!

Three-pointers accurately enter the net.

This second place cannot be defended.
