At halftime, the two teams were 52-50, and the Lakers trailed by two points.

In the locker room, the Zen master made a defensive arrangement for the inside and outside connections of Margeti and Ji Guoqiu, emphasizing that when Margeti breaks through the pass, the defenders should pay attention to taking the opportunity to break the ball, especially the pass to the outside.

Ji Guoyi relied on Margeti to score 15 points in the half, shooting 5 of 9, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws.

"I was very comfortable with those passes." Ji Guoyi was in the locker room and said to Margeti.

"If you can throw it, I'll pass it to you." Margeti was blunt, and after speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the previous feud disappeared......

"I still teach him the pass, but when it comes to passing, it's Knight who passes the ball the best in our team." Cassel handed over two glasses of Gatorade and interjected.

Brevin Knight hurriedly waved his hand, this is an honest man, introverted, and pointed to Ji Guoqiu with a smile when he heard the words: "I think the passing of the twin 'brothers' is no worse than mine, and the big man is more suitable for passing." ”

In the Clippers locker room, it didn't look like the atmosphere was bad. The elder Dunleavy is happy with this, but looking around these players, some are still going to be traded. If a team wants to rebuild, there must be no obstacles, this is a point that the managers and coaches of the 30 teams in the league know deeply, and at this time, you can't be emotional, and those who want to go must go.

"Pre-season is a test for the two little guys, and hopefully you can show the potential of the team to make up their minds to trade." Old Dunleavy thought to himself.

In the second half, Zen Master started with Lao Yu, and in the first half, Famar's table was not satisfactory to Zen Master, and the sophomore rookie's understanding of triangle offense was still far behind.

As soon as the old fish came on the field, Kassel immediately felt much more relaxed.

In the first half, against the young Famar, an old alien was extremely difficult to deal with, and now he is replaced by a slow old fish, and the 38-year-old Kassel suddenly feels relieved. After the opening, he used Ji Guoqiu's blocking and demolition to suddenly use cold arrows in the middle distance to take the lead for the team.

Kassel's athleticism was not very good when he was young, relying on unexpected breakthrough rhythm and shooting timing, this ball the Lakers players did not expect that he would suddenly stop shooting, the defense was too late, and after reacting, the basketball was already in the frame.

However, this is only a sneak attack after all, and the 38-year-old Kassel can succeed once or twice in a game, and it is up to a few young players to decide the victory.

The Lakers' first offense in the second half was broken by Kobe Bryant with the ball, the old cat Mobley followed very closely, Peter Pan made a crotch stop, flashed the gap, and then scored two points with a difficult half-turn shot.

Mobley, like Cassell, didn't play long in the first half, scoring only five points, and was weak to deal with Kobe Bryant defensively.

The Clippers turned their heads to attack, Ji Guoqiu responded with the ball at the free throw line this time, and Mobley ran out of the baseline to get an open opportunity in the bottom left corner. Ji Guoqiu immediately passed the basketball to Mobley, and the old cat shot his second three-pointer of the day.

Although Mobley is 33 years old, he is still in good shape, and the coach does not use him more in the preseason in the hope that he will have enough energy to contribute more to the team in the regular season.

Margeti didn't have a chance to break through at the beginning of the second half, and the Lakers stepped up their defensive setup against him, setting up a pinch-and-shoot strategy in the direction of his breakthrough, and once Margeti broke through, he would face a small area of multi-person packs.

In the face of targeted defense, it took three minutes of the second half for Margeti to hold the ball for the first time.

The Lakers were prepared, using high-pressure defense on the inside in the second half, as long as the Clippers player broke through to the three-second zone, they immediately formed a siege formation to play more and force the opponent to pass.

Margeti was caught by the three-man for a moment and immediately jumped up to pass, but the basketball was reached out and stealed by the prepared Lakers players.

Odom and Kobe Bryant immediately reacted after their teammates broke the ball, but fortunately, the Lakers couldn't run fast except for these two, and the Lakers didn't succeed in this counterattack, and finally fell into a positional battle.

Kobe Bryant had an excellent shooting touch today, and the Lakers' triangle offense didn't work out, and Kobe Bryant finally formed a pair of N-strong shots, using his turnaround jumper at the wing position to easily score two points again.

The team with the best tactical execution in the NBA can't guarantee that every game will be successful, and this is where the role of superstar singles is reflected, in short, you have to score goals alone. Every game, both teams will have a lot of singles opportunities, and with a star like Kobe Bryant on the team, there will inevitably be more opportunities, and the team will naturally be more likely to win.

Besides, the boss is not only singles, but also commonplace, and it is not necessarily possible to throw in the boss if he really gives a vacant position.

In the third quarter, the defensive intensity of the two teams increased, and it was close to the intensity of the regular season.

Ji Guoyi ran back and forth on the outside, Turiaf followed him like a kraft candy, and the first defensive goal was to prevent Ji Guoyi from receiving the ball.

"I don't believe it, you're faster and more flexible than me?" Ji Guoyi was also more energetic, ran to the bottom line and suddenly made a sharp stop, and then accelerated to the outside line, using his speed and agility to temporarily get rid of Turiaf and run out of a gap.

Margeti was holding the ball, it wasn't that he didn't want to pass, it was really invisible, and this fleeting opportunity was wasted, and Turiaf quickly caught up and formed a close defense. The offense eventually turned into Margeti forcing a breakaway, being besieged by multiple Lakers under the basket, and the basketball was covered by a small shark, which was Bynum's first block of the day.

Dunleavy Sr. was very dissatisfied, and shouted at Margety: "Corey, watch out for your teammates, don't stick that damn ball to your hands." ”

Margeti listened to this, and his heart was also very dissatisfied with his coach, the two have been a little at odds since last season, and this year the situation has not only not improved, but has a tendency to worsen.

Old Dunleavy scolding is useless, some players just can't pass the ball, this is limited by ability. Margeti's pass could only do what he did in the first half, bursting inside and throwing the ball at his outside team-mates when he was surrounded and there was really no way to do it...... As for whether it can be transmitted? Then leave it to fate. Such a pass can easily form a steal as long as it is arranged in advance and the defender pays a little attention.

"The two big men haven't scored for a long time, especially the outside one, and his situation is that he can't catch the basketball, except for Turiaf interfering with him, the Lakers also deliberately interfere with the other players of the Clippers passing the ball to him." Barkley noticed this in the live broadcast room, Ji Guoyi ran out of chances several times on the outside, but the basketball couldn't reach him, Turiaf who defended him was full of hard work, the opportunity was fleeting, and he didn't score in half a quarter.

"That's the flaw of the outside shooters, they have a single skill set, they can be easily restricted, and it would be much better if there were players in the team who were good at breaking the ball." Kenny Smith said.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, if you have the ability to carry your back, you don't have to stand outside and wait for your teammates to pass the ball, only close to the basket can you be lethal." Barkley didn't know if he remembered his demeanor back then, and as he spoke, his butt moved deliberately, and he was very unbeaten.

"After Brand's injury, this team has the problem of a lack of firepower in the low position, and can only rely on Carman to do some inefficient singles." Kenny Smith added.

The elder Dunleavy called a timeout, he also knew the team's flaws, there was no low-post lethality, and the attack ability in the paint area was also very poor, and the opponent's defense line could shrink and expand as much as he wanted. The two brothers' low-post skills are currently inferior to Carman, and they cannot help the team fill this shortcoming for the time being.

When the Clippers returned to the court, they replaced Margeti with defensive stalwart James Posey. In addition to defense, Posey can also contribute accurate three-point shooting and some ball-handling offense, is a very useful player, and he also has championship experience, won the championship with the Heat in 06, and made a great contribution to it.

Cassel and Mobley were also substituted, with Breven Knight and Chris Carman coming on in place.

Margeti was unhappy with his substitution, believing that now that Brand is injured, he should be the boss of the team. But Dunleavy Sr. doesn't look like the boss of the team, whether it's setting up tactics or using himself. However, the elder Dunleavy has been coaching the Clippers for five years, and he has accumulated a lot of power, and Margety does not dare to express his dissatisfaction directly.

After the Clippers returned to the court, the lineup on the court suddenly made the fans of the two sides scratch their heads, Kaman was right to play, but Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoyi were not replaced, and three insiders gathered on the court, what kind of tricks did old Dunleavy play? I've heard of the Twin Towers, but no one has heard of the Three Towers?

The Zen master had an expression throughout the game, and at this moment he also showed an interested look, and couldn't help but glance at old Dunleavy.

Old Dunleavy also had no choice, the team's low-post offensive ability was insufficient, so he simply lowered the positions of the two brothers by one square each, letting Ji Guoqiu play the No. 4 position and Ji Guoqi play the No. 3 position.

Ji Guozhi thinks it's very fresh, he rarely plays the No. 3 position, his height is reported to be 216cm, even if the real height is 211cm, it is tall enough, and there doesn't seem to be a No. 3 star of this height in NBA history?
