The Lakers' third preseason game came to Sacramento. It is also the city of Los Angeles in the central California of the United States and the Sacramento River Basin. It is the capital of Sacramento County and the capital of California.
The team's name is very domineering, but they haven't done very well in the American Basketball. In the 1950-1951 season, he won the NBA championship as the Rochester Royals. After the Kings failed to make a breakthrough.
The current king star is TheRock Mickey Richmond. The height of 1.96 meters is matched with a weight of 98 kilograms. As the shooting guard, he has a burly tendon that is burly.
"He will be the best shooting guard in the league except me." This is a prediction made by Michael Jordan in 1989.
Future Hall of Fame players, 6 All-Stars, 5 best lineups. He is equally good in offense and defense but he has never had a decent lead. In recent years, the King under his leadership has been struggling on the brink of the playoffs.
This game Kobe did not get the chance to match Richmond, the game under O'Neill's brave play early into the garbage time.
The state of O'Neill, who is getting better, rules the basket. This era is when the insiders get the world. Kobe played a little and scored 13 points in 17 minutes.
The Lakers, who had a three-game winning streak, returned to Los Angeles. The Clippers, which have risen in later generations, are still a fish belly. Clippers owner Donald Sterling stings stingly. The team's current highest salary is even Stanley Roberts' $ 3.25 million.
The whole team is composed of some homeless mercenaries. Their recent record in the league is very ridiculous.
Kobe Bryant still contributed a wonderful performance under the flash of the Great Western Forum Arena. Facing the bench players who are almost undefended by the Clippers. He felt hot and took over the game.
In just 21 minutes of playing, he scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks of comprehensive data.
"Impeccable." This is the evaluation given by Harris, he has already considered Kobe to replace the starter. Such a talented player is a waste on the bench, but he is still thinking about which player to replace. Whether Kobe and the starting player's tacit understanding will cause problems, he is also thinking.
Dr. Bath, who was watching the game on the sidelines, sent Kobe a text message after the game.
"Born in extraordinary, continue to cheer, the legend of the future."

The Lakers did not stay long in the warm environment of Los Angeles. Kobe and his team flew to Minnesota.
October Minnesota has a little cool, the climate here varies greatly throughout the year. In summer it can exceed 46 degrees Celsius, while in winter the lowest temperature can be as low as -22 degrees Celsius.
The Timberwolves joined the league in 1989, and geographically, it compensated for the lack of the Lakers leaving Minneapolis. The team stayed at the Hubert Hufrey Metrics Stadium for only one season before moving to its home stadium-the target center
"My God, I really don't want to play in this place." O'Neill is very afraid of the cold, and the cold weather after getting off the plane made them shiver.
"Hi, Shaq. It seems that your fat doesn't generate enough heat for you." Kobe chuckled and said that after several games, the two got along in and out of the field, and the two were already in perfect harmony.
"Damn, I will show the energy of my strong muscles on the field, not the ice and snow." O'Neill exaggerated his arms into a ball. The teammates laughed, and it seemed that the fat man was afraid of cold.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have accumulated a few good players after many years. But the bad weather here makes it difficult to retain good players.
Kevin Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the fifth round of the first round last year. He was one of the few players who entered the U.S. basketball directly from high school, and was the first U20 draft pick Selected high school students.
This future Hall of Fame power forward is still sharpening his minions. The data in the first year was not very good. In 28 minutes of playing time per game, he only scored 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Kobe knew that this was a common problem among high school students and rookies. In the first year, he often became unacceptable and performed poorly. Their body is too young
The confrontation ability can't adapt to the strength of the U.S. professional basketball. Often these talented high school students will score in the second year and the third year.
On the back line, they also have this year's No. 4 show, Stephen Marbury. This point guard from New York has an extraordinary talent. Kobe greatly appreciates his later generations. After cleaning the lead, he became a horse guide in China.
This game is still one-sided. Before Garnett has grown up, the Timberwolves have no way to get O'Neal inside. Harris tried to put Kobe and O'Neal on the field at the same time, and the chemical effect surprised him. Kobe's timely passing after the breakthrough always allowed O'Neill to attack the rim very comfortably.
Bryant and Stephen Marbury had a match in the game. Marbury's fancy dribble did not cause any interference to the experienced Kobe. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Kobe's rushing made Marbury struggle.
The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, although the US Basketball Team has no weak players. Weak wins and strong matches also happen from time to time, but when a team has players like O'Neal and Kobe on the starting and substitutes to control the pace of the game, it is difficult to have an accident.
Kobe Bryant continued to increase his playing time in this game. He played 14 minutes and scored 14 points and 7 assists. Three of these seven assists were passed to O'Neal.
After the game, O'Neill secretly asked Harris "Hi, head. Why don't we try to make Kobe starter?"
. . . . . .
The last game of the preseason game was against the Detroit Pistons.
Detroit Pistons achieved excellent performance in the 80-90s. In 1981, the Pistons chose Isiah Thomas of Indiana University in the second round of the first round. Under the leadership of Thomas, he repeatedly defeated the young Jordan. And in the 1989 Finals 4-0 swept the Lakers to win the championship. In 1990, the Pistons defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 4-1 in the finals, defending successfully.
As the Bad Boys grew older, after the Pistons fell to the bottom of the valley, they chose Grant Hill, a very popular small forward.
It is a pity that Alan Houston fled to the New York Knicks this summer. This elegant style defender still did not choose this iron-blooded city.
Before the game, Harris found Kobe in the team's locker room.
"Kobe, you start this game. Show your children." Silver Fox Harris made the decision. In the last game of the preseason, he decided to let Kobe try to start. It is better to adjust in the preseason than the regular season.
Finally hit the starter, Kobe smiled. Kobe's starting time was two years earlier than the previous one.
