Chapter 656 [Revenge Fails, Someone Kills You]
Bryant shot 3-of-11, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with eight points and two rebounds and no assists.
This is called "revenge is not successful, but is harmed". Online fans commented that Kobe Bryant was really too lonely, this was only the first preseason game, and he didn't even think about running in with his new teammates at all.
In fact, this time Kobe Bryant is taking the blame for the team's lineup, if he wants to run in, he has to give up the right to attack with the ball to Evans, attract defense on the outside, wait for the opportunity to shoot three points, and switch to playing without the ball, Byron Scott did not arrange it like this.
Yang Rui emphasized the tactics and came on as a substitute.
He mainly instructed Curry. "Most shots have to be outside the three-point line, as long as you're sure, you can shoot against people."
Even with Paul, playing a two-guard, Curry has unlimited right to fire, which is an important arrangement for the Clippers. In Yang Rui's previous life, Jamal Crawford was in excellent form in the first two seasons of joining the Clippers, and he shot more than Paul.
As soon as Yang Rui explained the tactics in the team, Paul immediately agreed, and there was no need to do ideological work.
Paul has always been selfless and knows how to play best for the team, and when his teammates can score, he doesn't rush to make a shot. He is also well aware that his attack power is average, averaging 22.8 points per game at his peak, and he has to play 38.5 minutes, which is not very efficient.
The other players didn't raise any objections, which is a good thing to rebuild the team, everyone is new and even the veterans can't put on a fight.
And when the team is training, Curry's three-point accuracy is scary, and how to shoot in the open position. Not only is he good at catching and shooting, but he can also ensure a shooting rate by dribbling and shaking a little space for a quick stop three-point and a three-point retreat.
Curry's defense is terrible, the organizational rhythm is not good, and he can't compare with him who won the MVP in the future. But in terms of scoring, Curry is not much different from the "complete body" now, and his shooting is accurate.
In the first three seasons of the Warriors, Curry averaged less than 20 points per game, one was partnered with Monta Ellis, who took up a lot of the ball, and the other was that the coach did not arrange for Curry to shoot three-pointers, and he often did not shoot and score efficiently.
Ellis left, coached for Mark Jackson, let Curry shoot more threes, and he immediately became an All-Star.
In the bench competition, Curry, Korver, Dunleavy, Novak, and Masinmi quickly beat the Lakers off the bench.
Curry is 191CM tall, facing the defense of "old fish" Fisher, he single-handedly hit two three-pointers, and he also held the ball past Fisher twice in the counterattack, attracting the defense, and assisting Korver and Novak to shoot three points.
Fisher's situation and status have changed greatly from Yang Rui's previous life.
In his previous life, although he was often criticized as a defensive black hole, he had five championship rings in his hand, and there were more people who boasted about him, and his role was not reflected by data.
Now, Fisher only won the championship with the Lakers in 2001, and played for a few years in the Warriors and Jazz, and then returned to the Lakers with a basic salary to hold his legs, and his role data can be reflected, that is, the role of the defensive black hole.
The defender with good dribbling skills and fast speed can single out Fisher and stun him one-on-one. Fisher at his peak, every time he met Parker, Bibby, Little Squirrel, Iverson was blown up, and now his speed is only suitable for defending the No. 2 position, and when he was with the Jazz, he often played point guard.
Yang Rui told Curry to take advantage of the preseason to find a touch, don't be afraid of hitting iron, it doesn't matter how many shots you miss, Curry completely let go.
The Lakers replaced Fisher and replaced Brooks, who is only 180cm tall, and still can't prevent Curry's pull-up jumper.
Curry hit six three-pointers and one layup in the quarter, scoring 20 points and diching out four assists.
Novak also hit three three-pointers, Dunleavy and Neil. The Clippers made 11 three-pointers in a single quarter, widening the gap to 24 points, and they beat the Lakers at halftime.
The Clippers can't win against Novak in the three-point game, but the role of this big white man is too single and the defense is poor, so it can't be reused.
At halftime, the radio commentators commented on the game with the word "incredible".
Jeff Van Gundy said: "The Clippers are unbelievably strong, the Lakers are incredibly weak, and I don't think anyone would have guessed before the game that they were going to play this kind of game. ”
Zhang Reasonable said: "The Lakers' offense is okay, the defense is too poor, especially the defense of the bench is useless, how the Clippers play, how to play, and the players can shoot casually." ”
In the second half, the Clippers maintained their advantage and finally won 117-90, winning two in a row and sending the Lakers to a black start to the preseason.
Curry played just 20 minutes in total, shooting 11-of-18, 7-of-12 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 31 points and five assists.
The other three Yang Rui handpicked core Guy with 18 points, Griffin with 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Paul with 15 points and 12 assists.
Bryant shot 6-of-24, 0-of-4 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Evans shot 4-of-9 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line for just 10 points, five rebounds and three assists.
Luo Erdeng had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and his performance was decent.
Love had a double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds, which looked good, but the defense was actually poor. He is slow to move as a big forward, too short to be a center, and the Clippers shoot a lot of three-pointers, which is directly related to his slow shift of defense.
At this moment, Lakers fans have a sense of foreboding. Before the regular season was played, the Symies began to spray Evans and Love on the Internet, saying that they were non-defensive data brushes.
During the summer transaction, there was a peak of Commitry, who felt that one of these two people would have a future than Yao Ming, on the grounds that Yao Ming was 30 years old, and his state would decline immediately.
After the game, the media generally criticized the Lakers' poor defense, and certainly did not fall to criticize Kobe.
Barkley said: "I think everyone can see the real Kobe Bryant this season, without Yao Ming, he may not be able to lead the Lakers through the first round of the playoffs." ”
Jeff Van Gundy said: "Yang Rui should be the person who knows the Lakers best, and after sending Yao Ming away in the summer, he looked down on the Lakers and said that the Lakers were not a threat, and reality has proven that. ”
Louis Williams was resurrected with the 76ers, scoring 30 points and 4 assists in the first game of the preseason, shooting 5-of-9 from three-point range, and he sprayed Kobe Bryant directly in an interview.
"Evans was the Rookie of the Year last season, averaging 20 5 5 per game, and people even compare him to LeBron James, which very few rookies can do. But I'm sure that his stats at the Lakers will be terrible, and he will be called a parallel import, although he is not the one who is the real water of the Lakers. ”
The reporter asked: "Are you saying Kobe Bryant is a cancer?" ”
"I didn't say that, but the real leader should be the person who can lead the team to win, not the person with the most beautiful stats, and if Kobe Bryant can lead the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals one more time, then he is a great star."
Lowe didn't say anything about the championship, and in his opinion, it would be great for the Lakers to enter the Western Conference again. He stayed with Kobe Bryant for several years, had enough of it, and didn't save any face.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the person who had the biggest opinion of Kobe Bryant was point guard Smush Parker, who is now known as Loewe. Kobe Bryant's style of play can be called a "point guard terminator", and Mo Williams' statistics in the Lakers are also average, and he played well in the finals because he didn't pass the ball to Kobe.
Yang Rui did not evaluate Kobe, he thinks there is nothing to say, as long as he is not blind, people will know what kind of person Kobe is in the future, and Evans joining is just the beginning.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Ramon Sessions would rather take a pay cut to join the bad team Bobcats than accept a contract with the Lakers; Nash arrived in Los Angeles and immediately lost the night, becoming a fixed-point pitcher and defending the black hole; Russell even implicitly pointed out that Kobe Bryant influenced his growth......
Yang Rui doesn't know what the Lakers' lineup will become in the future, but the brush titles of Evans and Love will definitely not run.
