Chapter 701 [All Silent Anymore]

The season started too late, and die-hard fans in Los Angeles were waiting for the autumn to happen.

They don't care about any downtime, the stars are greedy, the bosses are bastards, and they just want to have a high-level basketball game to watch; They don't care who wins or loses between the two teams, they just play well.

On the 20th, the Staples Center Arena was full for the preseason game alone. The Lakers and Clippers have no reservations, the stars are on the court, they have been resting for too long, and they need to seize all the time to grind in the lineup.

In the locker room, Byron Scott even gave a morale-boosting speech as he did in the playoffs.

If the Lakers don't produce results this season, Scott will definitely have to go out of class, and he can do it so far, relying on the 2009-10 season to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals.

Yang Rui was very relaxed before the game, just arranging tactics, refining the division of labor within the team, and allowing the core players to make bold moves.

He doesn't take the Lakers seriously at all, and Big Gasol and Love are not suitable for the interior line, both have range and have some power on the offensive end. But on the defensive end, the speed of the two is not fast, the position changes the defense and the block, and the rapid retreat in the counterattack suffers, and the effect is not as good as that of Pau Gasol with Aldridge.

In the playoffs, the Clippers and Mavericks fought offense and counterattacked, and they have experience dealing with this kind of floor-flowing interior.

Therefore, Yang Rui directly sent a small-ball lineup. Paul, Tony Allen, Korver, Battier, Griffin.

Lakers starters: Nash, Kobe, Rohr Deng, McRoberts, Pau Gasol.

The Lakers didn't have reservations, but Scott knew that Love and Pau Gasol weren't suitable to start together, and that the team was too slow to train in.

If Love plays power forward, the main defense can block and disassemble, and the marginal point guard Jeremy Lin can hold the ball and burst him.

McRoberts can shoot three-pointers and can take on the task of pulling away, and Love can lead the bench to get more balls.

Tactically speaking, there is no mistake in Scott's arrangement, and it is easier for the team to win, but Lefu is a person who has cut 20+10 data and won the rebounding king, how can he be willing to play as a substitute?

In the preseason, LoveFord has no objection, and if he is kept as the sixth man during the regular season, he will soon propose a trade. The Lakers don't trade, he is a restricted free agent after this season, and there will be teams willing to offer him a high salary, and the Lakers will definitely be in a dilemma.

Now, the Lakers already have four high-paid players: Kobe, Nash, Rohr Deng, and Pau Gasol.

Looking at the card lineup, the Lakers are stronger than the Clippers, and the total salary is much higher than the Clippers, but after the game started, the Clippers quickly took the initiative.

The Clippers use hybrid defense, Tony Allen entangles Kobe Bryant on the outside, if Kobe breaks through by covering, no matter which side he goes, Griffin and Battier change defenses quickly, making it difficult for Kobe to break into the basket, and can only shoot outside jumpers or share the ball with teammates.

Last season, the Lakers were swept by the Clippers in the regular season, and Kobe Bryant held back his strength to play luxury data, but Yang Rui did not let him get his wish.

One is close to the ball, and the other is good at filling the position and sealing the eyes to interfere with the shot, Kobe Bryant can't shoot easily no matter how he plays.

Battier has no problem defending McRoberts alone, this power forward has a softer style of play, taking the shooting and responding routes, and Battier can use experience to make up for the lack of strength.

The Clippers attacked, the Lakers defended very hard, Paul and Griffin played blocking and dismantling in the middle, Paul was slow to change defense, Paul was pulled out of the restricted area by changing defense inside, and Griffin could receive the ball and attack the basket.

Gasol couldn't get out of the box, and as soon as he got out, Griffin singled out McRoberts with ease.

The Clippers players can also fight back when they grab rebounds in the backcourt, Paul singles out Nash, and Griffin quickly singles out Gasol, which are all good opportunities, just like misalignment.

The Clippers led 37-22 in the first quarter, and the two teams were not at the same level at all, with the arrival of new signing Battier strengthening the Clippers' defense, and McRoberts' defense was not much better than Odom's, who was used to deserting.

Kobe Bryant shot 3 of 9 in the first quarter, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, got 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and the shooting rate was too low.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Curry, Green, Gay, Parsons, and Chandler.

Farid sat on the bench, Yang Rui had already greeted him in the preseason, and he was not allowed to play, and the regular season was the team's secret weapon. He didn't want to warm up and let the opponent know how hard Farid was grabbing rebounds and how fast he ran.

Yang Rui's arrangement surprised everyone, and the tactical core was actually the second-round rookie Parsons, who played as a playmaker in the middle.

Gay, Green, Curry pulled away, and Chandler flanked Curry to cover without the ball and helped him get rid of Fisher to catch the ball.

Parsons played the ball quickly, and Curry partnered with an unexpected tacit understanding, Curry can not only shoot, but also break through with the ball, which can disrupt the defense and organize twice.

Troy Murphy's poor pick-and-roll defense is a typical data brush. He has a lot of glorious deeds, such as pushing away teammates and grazing rebounds, and in order to maintain the three-point shooting rate, so that a person who loves to shoot three-pointers can hold back and not shoot a three-point in the last game of the regular season.

The whole league also likes O'Brien and lets him brush casually, and now he can be ready to lose his job.

Curry hit a three-pointer, scored on a driving layup, and assisted on Gay and Chandler to score in an open cut.

Parsons suddenly pulled up in the middle, hitting a three-pointer and assisting Green and Curry on a three-pointer.

The performance of the substitutes surprised the fans, a wave of 15-3 widened the difference to 27 points, and the halftime was not over and there was garbage time.

The Lakers only had Love hit a three-pointer, and none of the other players played.

Fisher was even worse than last season, as he was busy negotiating as the president of the players' union in the summer, didn't practice, and was not only a colander on the defensive end, but also couldn't shoot on the offensive end.

Demarre Carroll doesn't shoot accurately, he's a blue-collar worker; Capono can only shoot, not empty and not shoot; Murphy floats outside to shoot, and even if he has a clear height advantage, he doesn't go to the low post to play Parsons.

Love couldn't bring a substitute, and the second team lacked an outside attacker with the ball. It's certainly better to reuse Jeremy Lin, but Scott gave the Fish chairman face and cheated the Lakers.

Paul only played 30 minutes, scored 17 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals, and he picked up rebounds in the backcourt many times and launched counterattacks directly, which is the credit of Chandler.

Chandler had only 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, and three dunks. His stats are not obvious, and if he chooses to grab rebounds instead of pulling the ball out, and quickly return to defense, the number of rebounds can go up double.

It's the difference between a good team player and a statistic brush, Chandler has a high ball IQ, never plays around, and only averages 5.5 shots per game in his career, shooting a whopping 59.4% from the field.

Curry finished with a team-high 33 points, six assists and six three-pointers.

Blake Griffin had no shortage of good performances, finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds; Gay, Green and Neil also scored in double figures.

For the Lakers, Bryant shot 8-of-21, 0-of-4 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Lefu 15 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists; Gasol had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in his Lakers debut; Nash had 11 points and seven assists; Rohrdeng made 1 of 7 shots and scored only 5 points with free throws, the worst performance of the team.

Rolldden wanted to leave now, fed up with being a blue-collar perimeter defender, and as in the case of Artest joining the Lakers, he had no ball at all and was forced to transition to a three-point shooter.

The Clippers beat the Lakers by 45 points 141-96.

The Clippers are all silent, and Kormi is desperate, and it's clear that Los Angeles is no longer the Lakers' world, and Kobe Bryant is not the best player in the league anymore.

Kobe Bryant didn't have any reservations, just look at his expression to know how impatient he was, and his jersey was almost bitten by him, but he still lost, and the shooting percentage was pitiful.
