Chapter 213 Iron-Blooded Lakers

Kobe Bryant! Selected to the All-Defensive Team twelve times!

Eddie Jones! Selected to the All-Defensive Team three times! A league steals leader.

Bruce Bowen! Selected to the All-Defensive Team eight times!

Ben Wallace! Four times the best defensive player! Six All-Defensive Teams! One league block leader! Two league rebounding champions!

Eldon Campbell!

five! cough cough. . . Well, let's get that last one out of the way.

Four of the top defensive players! A total of twenty-nine times have been selected to the All-Defensive Team.

This is the starting lineup for the Lakers today.

"ONE TWO THREE, WIN!" This starting lineup is the first start, against the Wizards led by twin stars Chris Webber and Rod Strickland.

The Wizards team does not lack talent and offense. If the Lakers want to win, it is not enough to do a good job of offense.

"Defense! This game made them less than 80 points!" Ben Wallace was full of fighting spirit. This was the second start of his career. His confidence was greatly improved by being selected for the All-Star rookie match.

Kobe nodded. Ben Wallace's role on the defensive end is obvious to all. If he can not occasionally convulse on the offensive end, that would be great.

After the Lakers players finished shouting their slogans, they strode into the court, waiting for them was the audience in the capital.

"WOW! Kobe! Kobe is out!"

"And Eddie Jones!"

On the other side, Chris Webber couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed looking at the cheering home players. Washington fans don't have a high support rate for local teams, which may be related to the results in recent years. Fans prefer to chase superstars from other teams.

This situation is very common in teams without stars. Putting it on a team like the Bullets with Chris Webber and Rod Strickland in it is a bit out of the ordinary.

Wizards starting lineup PG Rod Strickland SG Calporter - Chaney SF Juwan - Howard PF Chris Webber C George - Muresan.

Kobe looked at George Muresan, who was preparing to jump the ball with Ben Wallace at the halfway line, and there was a feeling of unreality.

The 2.31-meter George Muresan looks like a giant, while Ben Wallace looks like a child.

"Gudong." Big Ben looked up at George Muresan, and also felt a burst of pressure, which is human's instinctive fear of giant creatures.

Big Ben glanced back at Campbell.

"You can do it! Big Ben! Get rid of this big man!" Campbell hurriedly gave a thumbs up, showing a white smile to encourage Wallace. He didn't want to jump the ball with this monster.

"Doo!" The referee threw the ball, and George Muresan tapped the ball to the Wizards with a light touch.

"Advance!" Chris Webber waved his hand, received the ball, pushed forward unreasonably, turned his body forward gorgeously and swayed Ben Wallace, and completed the game with a chic mid-range before Campbell's defense first attack.

Go in! Weber waved vigorously.

It has always been the Lakers who play fast breaks! This is the first time the Lakers have been played fast break at the beginning of the season! Especially a power forward's one-stop!

humiliation!

Kobe glared at Ben Wallace, and it was fine if he couldn't jump the ball, but he missed someone!

Bryant receives the inline pass from Bowen and drives it forward.

After Bowen returned, Kobe returned to the point guard position again, and his style of play will be adjusted accordingly. The only players who can handle the ball in the Lakers' starting lineup are Kobe and Eddie Jones because of Xiaoyu's end.

Kobe needs to organize the offense more with the ball, rather than completely attacking as an end point.

Kobe made a gesture of six and hit the horns.

Ben Wallace and Campbell mentioned the elbow, and Eddie Jones and Bowen stepped into the corner.

The left and right sides lifted up at the same time, forcing Weber and Muresan to pull out.

Kobe used the pick-and-roll to create a one-on-one opportunity with Muresan!

1.98 meters VS2.31 meters!

Muresan opened his arms, and he planned to foul and not let Kobe complete the pass!

Kobe accelerates inward, and then pulls the ball out with a dribble behind his back!

fall down!

2.31 meters giant! Was shaken to the ground by Kobe!

Three-point shot!

"Shua!" The crisp sound was so pleasant.

What is an ankle terminator?

This is!

"WTF!" Weber cursed secretly, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Muresan up. It is very dangerous for a big man to fall to the ground.

"I'm fine." Muresan's cheeks were flushed. If Webber humiliated the Lakers with the first shot, then Kobe returned his money with interest.

"Five best balls! This ball must be selected for five best balls!"

"Unpredictable possession! My ankle hurts!"

"I can't believe it! Kobe knocked down a giant!"

The commentator on the TV yelled.

"Press!" Bryant planned to go all out! Take the bullet!

The momentum of the Lakers raised. First, Ben Wallace steals the bullet and passes the ball to Webb, and Eddie Jones scores a chasing mid-range shot.

Then Bryant stopped Rod Strickland in the Bullets halftime, giving him an 8-second violation.

Then Bowen made a Weber offensive foul.

Wonderful! The Lakers' defense is at the highest level in the league! No team in the league this season can play as oppressive as the Lakers' defense!

Two steals masters Kobe and Jones crazily attacked the Wizards' ball holders!

Bowen and Big Ben ran inside and out to sweep back and forth!

Campbell sits in the center (paddling)!

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards only scored 13 points!

The Lakers scored 25 points.

On the bench in the second quarter, Horry led Van Maniac and Fisher to score a three-pointer. The score not only did not shrink but expanded.

Webber had no choice but to play early and continuously attacked the weak inside line of the Lakers' bench.

The score was stabilized by Weber.

The two sides started the game, and the Bullets still couldn't adapt to the high-intensity defense of the Lakers. Rod Strickland collapsed in front of Kobe. Strickland, who was at a disadvantage in strength, speed and experience, was continuously intercepted by Kobe.

Fight back! Dunk!

This is the normal state of the Lakers in the second quarter. Some fans even suspected that they were watching basketball in the SHOWTIME era. Countless fast breaks broke the bullets.

At halftime, the Lakers 56:39 bullets.

The only normal thing on the Bullets side is Webber. He has proved with his gorgeous skills that he is already the strongest group of power forwards in the league. He can still score in different ways under the strict defense of Ben Wallace.

The other players were out of standard. There were 12 turnovers in halftime, and the defense led by Kobe was impenetrable.

The rhythm of the game was the same in the third quarter, the bullet missed, and then the Lakers counterattacked.

The game lost suspense at the end of the third quarter.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 98:76 bullets.

Chris Webber scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

Kobe Bryant scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

The Lakers scored 14 steals and caused the Bullets to make 21 turnovers.

The Lakers' iron-blooded defense has achieved initial results!
