The intermission is over and the fourth quarter begins.

As soon as the Mavericks came up to open the situation first, Barea and Peja Stojakovic made contributions from the outside and each hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

The Warriors immediately made adjustments. Sun Yi, Curry and others worked hard to score frequently in their own way, overtaking the score again, and putting the game back into a state of anxiety.

The fans in the auditorium were hooked and cheered for the two teams one after another.

When the game reached about 6 minutes in the fourth quarter, there was a turning point, and the Mavericks took the lead to break the deadlock.

……

……

On October 10, the NBA regular season kicked off.

The third opener was against the Knicks and the Thunder.

The final opener was the Warriors' away game against the defending champion Lakers.

The contest between Sun Yi, the most popular fried chicken in the league, and the No.1 Kobe Bryant in the league, has definitely received a lot of attention.

It can be said that the opening games arranged by David Stern can be described as well-intentioned.

……

……

January 10, Staples Center Arena.

The opening game between the Warriors and the Lakers officially begins.

The scene was full, and enthusiastic fans waited patiently for the start of the game.

Not long after, the admission ceremony began.

The Lakers players were the first to play. When Kobe played the finale, the scene boiled up, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.

Immediately after the Warriors players came out, they didn't enjoy warm applause and cheers, only boos.

After the admission ceremony, the league staff presented championship rings to the Lakers players.

Sun Yi, Curry and others sitting on the bench looked at the hot eyes and silently swore in their hearts

After that, the players from both sides came to the court one after another for warm-up activities.

Sun Yi moved his whole body, made a few layups, and then shot a few three-pointers to find his touch.

At the end of the warm-up activities, the players of the two teams returned to the bench one after another.

At the same time, the starting player lists of both sides were displayed on the big screen at the scene.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers is: Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Sun Yi, David Lee, Tyson Chandler.

On the Warriors bench, head coach Nelson Sr. emphasized the tactical arrangement and asked the players to prepare for the game.

After a while, the referee blew his whistle to signal players from both sides to come to the middle circle to prepare for a jump ball.

Sun Yi took off his training clothes, left the bench, and followed his teammates to the middle circle.

During this process, he did not receive the task issued by the system, and he felt a little regretful. After adjusting his mentality, he came to his place and took a good position.

In the jump ball session, Chandler easily defeated Bynum, who had grown into a ball. He was the first to touch the basketball and turned back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors a chance to make the first attack.

Curry received the pass and quickly moved forward. Just a few steps forward, he saw a familiar figure rushing towards the opponent's penalty area and immediately passed the ball forward.

Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, received the pass, accelerated to the basket, and made a layup before the Lakers players arrived.

2: 0!

The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.

Fisher dribbled to the three-point line, passed the ball to Kobe, and completed the task of his own ball-handling tool.

Kobe received the pass, looked at the defensive Sun Yi in front of him, and sprayed trash talk to disturb the opponent's mentality.

"Boy, I told you in advance, I will break through from your right side, even if you know the result, you can't prevent it!"

Sun Yi didn't believe the chattering nonsense, he was engrossed in watching Kobe's every move, he only believed in his own eyes.

Seeing this, Kobe didn't say any more, and spoke with practical actions.

He started quickly and really broke through to Sun Yi's right.

Sun Yi reacted immediately, took a step across and stuck it up, trying to force Kobe to stop with a physical confrontation.

Seeing that Sun Yi couldn't be squeezed, Kobe, who was dribbling, sighed secretly that the guy in front of him had improved his resistance too quickly.

Immediately, Naochi stopped suddenly. Seeing that he had not opened the distance between him and Sun Yi, he raised his hand and made a fake shot.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi didn't rush to interfere hastily, but quickly stuck to it, stretching his arms to interfere.

Kobe didn't expect Sun Yi to be so difficult to deal with, so he chose to bump Sun Yi away with his shoulder, and took advantage of the gap between the two to make a fallback jump shot.

Sun Yi guessed Nacha's next move. After all, Kobe Bryant's scoring highlights in his previous life were not for nothing.

Seeing Sun Yi rushing forward, Kobe was worried about being blocked, so he adjusted the arc of his shot.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
At the basket, Chandler got stuck and grabbed the defensive rebound. He found Curry at the first time, passed the ball quickly, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Curry received the pass, dribbled a step, saw his teammates run out of opportunities, and immediately passed the ball.

As early as after defending Kobe's shot, Sun Yi quickly rushed to the frontcourt and made a fast break.

After receiving the pass from Curry, Sun Yi, under the effect of the badge [King of Counterattack], accelerated past Artest who was retreating, rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked the ball vigorously with one hand In the basket.

Kobe, who was retreating from defense, felt a little angry when he saw this situation. He disliked his teammates for retreating too slowly.

He wanted to get angry when he was attacked by the Warriors before, but now there is a problem of not retreating in time, his heart was burning with anger, and he stared at Bynum and others with fierce eyes.

Bynum saw Kobe's fierce look and felt a little frightened. He knew Kobe was angry and stopped paddling.

When the Lakers attacked, Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and played a triangle offense according to the tactics.

Kobe came to the middle distance area on the right and leaned against Sun Yi for a better position.

Seeing this, Fisher immediately passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Kobe turned around and broke through.

This turn was too fast and sudden, and Sun Yi was caught off guard. Fortunately, his speed was good, so he barely followed.

Instead of continuing to break through to the basket, Kobe stopped abruptly, jumped up and shot without making a fake move.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
4: 2!

Chandler immediately picked up the basketball from the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and delivered the ball.

Curry received the pass and accelerated toward the frontcourt.

The Lakers retreated very quickly this time, but their attention was on Sun Yi, ignoring other Warriors players.

Curry dribbled the ball to one step beyond the three-point line, jumped directly, and threw the basketball in his hand.

"when!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out hard.

Bynum was still a little lazy, he didn't check his position, he stretched out his hand and waited for the basketball to fall into his hand.

At this moment, Sun Yi quickly rushed into the penalty area, jumped up, stretched out his arms to grab the offensive rebound from Bynum's head.

After landing, seeing the Lakers players surrounding him, Sun Yi immediately gave the ball away.

David Lee, who just ran into the mid-range area on the right, received the pass and hit a mid-range jumper, scoring 2 points.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack. After many passes, Gasol missed a shot against David Lee's defense.

Sun Yi retreated to the basket to grab a backcourt rebound, and quickly advanced to the frontcourt after landing.

Under Kobe's death stare, the Lakers players retreated very quickly like rabbits.

Seeing this, Sun Yi didn't slow down. He didn't stop when he came beyond the three-point line. He directly accelerated and broke into the penalty area. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball.

Curry, who ran to the left corner, received the pass and hit a three-pointer.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lakers coach Phil Jackson immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench.
