1063:Sudden Kill a Lowe (Fourth Shift)
This year's Staples Center is somewhat bleak.
Although since the 12-13 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have embarked on their long road to rebuilding.
In the past three seasons, the Lakers have not won more than 30 games in a single season.
But even in the days of pendulum, Kobe. Bryant, the soul of the Lakers, has always been with their fans.
In those seasons, as long as Kobe Bryant could be seen playing on the court in good health, even if the game could not be won, Lakers fans were satisfied.
Last season in particular, almost the entire Lakers were playing for Kobe Bryant's retirement tour.
But now, that No. 24 is gone, and his legend will never play out again in the Staples Center.
Therefore, the Lakers' bad road looks a little more embarrassing. The Staples Center game is no longer so passionate.
Currently, the Lakers have a 10-11 record. In the West, this is not a record to cheer about.
A group of Lakers youngsters such as Ingram, Russell and Randle still need more time to rebuild the glory of the Purple and Gold.
Therefore, this Grizzlies vs. Lakers game did not attract too many people's attention.
Most people are following this game not to see the game itself, but to see firsthand how the Grizzlies tie their opening 24-game winning streak.
Link returned to Staples again, but he couldn't see Kobe Bryant, and he was very embarrassed.
If you think about it, the last time I met Kobe Bryant was when I married Rachel this summer.
Although he has become the spokesperson of Kobe's beverage brand, he and the big boss behind the scenes have not seen each other for a long time.
Without that stubborn No. 24, the game against the Lakers would not be so much fun.
Before the game began, Ingram, a rookie who had high hopes from Lakers fans, also gave Link a friendly hug.
I thought it would be a heartwarming matchup between old and new, and Link would teach the talented leader some experience on the basketball court.
However, as soon as the game began, Link "turned his face and didn't recognize anyone".
Ingram's first offense of the first round after the opening game, his breakthrough layup was directly pressed to the rebound by Link.
Ingram is tall, has long arms, and is well-rounded, and is considered likely to move in Durant's direction.
With his height and reach, it stands to reason that it is difficult to be blocked by a player in the same position.
But Link is not only covered, but also a ruthless pegboard hat......
At the game, the local commentator in Los Angeles couldn't help but shake his head, "No way, this is how Link welcomes newcomers to the NBA." Welcome to the League ruled by Link, Brandon. Ingram. ”
Ingram was also speechless, he didn't expect Link, a superstar, to compete so much with a first-year rookie.
However, Ingram soon discovers that it is not only Link who is competing with him, but also Wade.
On the offensive end, Wade held the ball with his superb and changeable rhythm, shook off Ingram's center of gravity, and went straight to the basket!
As a result, Wade suddenly made a sharp stop after stepping into the three-second zone, pulled back from his crotch, and stepped back to make a jumper.
Ingram, who was unresponsive, stumbled two steps back, although he was not shaken.
There was an exclamation from the Staples Center, Wade and Link's combination of old punches, which rookie can withstand it!
Ingram was very depressed, and when he met these two stern veterans, he only considered himself unlucky.
In addition to Ingram, D'Angelo. Russell's performance was also hardly satisfactory.
With the Grizzlies' impregnable defense, Russell was neither able to organize the offense effectively nor score on his own.
As for the No. 7 rookie in '14, Julius. Randle is even more at a loss for Jokic's "pork belly".
Since the game against the Warriors, Joggle has turned the twin-tower lineup of Gasol and Jokic into a regular starter.
In these games, the Grizzlies have played like this. So today, Randle, who is not a high No. 4 position, must be paired with Jokic, a center.
Randle's current style of play is still dominated by attacking the basket, and he can always rely on his perverted strength to force layups to score.
But when it comes to Jokic, who can withstand the collision, Randle has no way at all.
It's true that Randle is quicker on his feet than Jokic. But Jokic only needs to crouch to defend and completely contain Randle.
Randle's shot? Well...... Basically, you can only look at the sky. He did dare to vote, but whether he could get in or not is another matter.
After the Lakers were restricted, the Grizzlies quickly pulled away from the score.
The Lakers' offense is poor, and their defense is even more papery.
At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies had a 13-point lead.
In the second quarter, the situation barely changed. Link played with ease and walked into the locker room with a 22-point advantage.
At this point, everyone felt that the Lakers were finished. It was only a matter of time before the Grizzlies tied the Warriors' 24-game winning streak to start the season.
After a few more minutes in the third quarter, the Lakers still didn't see hope. Joggle replaced Link early, and in his opinion garbage time had come early.
At this time, Luke, who assisted Kerr with a 73-win record last season, was in the field of 73 wins. Coach Wharton called a timeout.
In addition to those three young players, the Lakers, Luke . Wharton, a young coach, is also one of the high-profile potential stocks.
You know, last season when Kerr was unable to play due to illness, it was Wharton who led the team.
And it was under Wharton's leadership that the Warriors started with a 24-game winning streak.
With that track record and Wharton's relationship with the Lakers, the two sides reached an agreement to work together this summer.
It is believed that when the young coach grows up with the young players, the Purple and Gold will regain their glory.
At this point, with 26 points behind, Wharton waved his hand and found two men.
One is the 14-year-old second-round show Jordan who is 1.96 meters tall. Clarkson.
The other is Louis, who is 1.88 meters tall and has already made a name for himself in the league and has just won the Best Sixth Man award in the 14-15 season. Williams.
These two little guards are not as well-known as Russell and Ingram, but everyone knows that in terms of immediate combat power, they are stronger than Russell and Ingram at this stage!
However, Link didn't take it too seriously, and it was unlikely that a mere Clarkson and Lowe would be able to tie the game by 26 points in a little more than a quarter and a half.
Most people were thinking the same as Link, just waiting for the game to end and remembering the Grizzlies' 24-game winning streak start.
But after the timeout came back for the first goal, Luis. Williams scored a difficult three-pointer!
This ball, Lowe dribbled past half time and handed the ball to Randle.
Randle was unfazed and found that Jokic was unmoved, so he returned the ball to Lowe in the final seconds.
Lowe faced Dinwiddie, who was also a substitute, and made several triple threat moves.
Then, he went straight to the dry without getting rid of the defense!
Seeing that Lu Wei actually shot directly, Harrell reflexively prepared to accept the rebound.
As a result, this kind of fairy ball, which only superstars would try, was stunned! Moreover, still a hollow!
", no......" Link, who was sitting on the bench, straightened his waist and suddenly became serious.
Lu Wei looked at the big screen at the scene, and then opened his arms!
It's still 23 points away, and it works!
A street in Los Angeles, ask who is Dad!
The Grizzlies' 24-game winning streak is starting to run into obstacles.
