Chapter 664 [The front and back of the team, dominating Los Angeles]
As soon as the news came out the next day, the Internet was full of ridicule.
The Cavaliers are known as the strongest Big Three in history, but they lost the first game to score 81 points, and the offense is weak and heartbreaking.
"The Cavaliers just lost because they were unlucky, like they were cursed, from 2003 to now, they recruited so many people, and the strongest star in the league James led, it didn't work."
"Wade and Bosh are both stars who have reached the Finals and Division Finals, so what is the reason for the Cavaliers' loss this season?"
"Swap Vallejo for Howard and Chalmers for Nash, I don't know if the Cavaliers can win the championship."
"Jerry Young proved once again that he's a god on the sidelines, and no one thinks the Clippers have a strong roster in the summer, but he can just lead the team to win, as if by magic. The Adelman rotation was so poor that the Big Three limited each other. ”
Adelman acknowledged at a press conference that he was responsible for the loss, saying he would find a way to win as soon as possible. But if he wants to make adjustments, it will be more difficult than Spoelstra in the Heat.
The Heat had short blue-collar interior Joel Anthony and Haslem at the time, who were very good at blocking and pick-and-roll, which allowed Bosh to play a little less in the first quarter and be responsible for bringing the bench. Now the Cavaliers lack a good bench inside, and James is not willing to play a cameo role as a power forward, if he doesn't do a good job of defense and only relies on the Big Three to attack, the Cavaliers are not as good as the Heat.
A better way is to let Wade play less in the first quarter and bring a substitute in the second quarter, which may hurt Wade's self-esteem again.
David Stern watched the news, both helpless and happy.
He is helpless that the Cavaliers have formed a luxurious lineup, and there is still no champion, and fans say that the most James is not that he is strong and has comprehensive skills, but that he has abolished his teammates.
Stern also began to feel that James was really a teammate, and Wade was a star on the same level as James before he came, which means that there is one less person in the league. As the second leader of the Knights, no matter how well Wade plays, his popularity will decline.
Bosh was the second in command when he was with the Eagles, and he didn't know what it would be like when he got to the Cavaliers.
Stern is happy that Chris Paul has a good home, and by the way, he can also pick up Griffin. One is the best team star, and the other is a violent dunk, which is especially appealing to fans.
In the evening, Stern made up his mind and was ready to tilt resources, focus on the Clippers, and abandon the Lakers.
The Lakers narrowly defeated the weak team Rockets 112-110 in the first game, and Kobe Bryant hit a key mid-range shot away, but the Lakers' defense was terrible, and the Rockets without superstars could score so many points, and they still led by 15 points at halftime.
The Lakers were able to win thanks to the super-level play of backup guard Shannon Brown in the final quarter, who played 21 minutes, shooting 6-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range to score 16 points.
Tyrek Evans was extremely poor, shooting 1-of-7 from the field and 0-of-1 from three-point range to just 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, making it hard to believe that he was last season's rookie of the year.
Judging from the performance of the last three seasons, compared to his teammates, if Kobe Bryant is Guan Gong, no one can be Liu Bei.
With a day off, the Clippers host the Trail Blazers.
The Clippers pressed the opponent all over the court, Jordan Jr. and Griffin staged five violent dunks in the first quarter, Noah and Aldridge are good interior combinations, but they can't protect the restricted area, and their size is destined to make them unsuitable for meat shields.
The Trailblazers are inferior on the inside, and the outside line is directly blown up.
The point guard of the Trail Blazers is the 34-year-old veteran Andre Mokwei Miller, the perfect template for all guards after their running and jumping ability declines, the perfect excuse for all guards before they practice long-range shooting, and the outside back is a textbook for singles, and the hated itchy teeth are the way of play that can't be touched.
Miller is not bad, but he is obviously inferior to Paul and has been passed over and over again.
Backup point guard Patrick Mills faced Curry even worse, with a height of 183CM at a disadvantage, it was difficult to interfere with the shot, and Curry could throw the ball when he caught him.
Roy has no choice but to play against Tony Allen.
Roy often plays with injuries, and his knee meniscus has finally gone wrong, and he can't break through and change direction as quickly as in previous years. At the peak, Roy couldn't beat Tony Allen, averaging only 13 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, and this time he was not even as good as a role player.
Roy played 34 minutes and finished with seven points, five rebounds and five assists on 3-of-16 shooting, 0-of-4 three-pointers and 1-of-1 free throws.
At 125-81 in the end, the Clippers star left work in the third quarter, and Paul scored 15 points and 14 assists.
After Paul arrived at the Clippers, the assist was easier than when he was in the Hornets, throwing someone into the sky can catch it in the air, playing counterattacks and someone can go down quickly, passing to the perimeter, and several teammates are shooting when they catch the ball, and they can wear through Yang in 100 steps.
The new season has just begun, and many people believe that the assist king is in Paul's bag, even if he doesn't play much.
"I knew I was going to play well with Jerry Young, but I didn't expect to win so much, it's a fight I've always wanted to play, it's really cool," Paul said. ”
Curry, who played 28 minutes and scored 23 points with ease, was also happy and was the number one sixth man of the season.
Rudy Gay is likely to win the Most Improved Player award, and he also scored 17 points in this game, and when the opponent is tight inside, Yang Rui will arrange for Guy to carry the ball alone, and his jumper can help the team.
McBron, who was at home, was unfortunate enough to lie down with a gun, and the media called him one of the most overrated coaches.
At the end of the month, the Clippers challenged the Warriors on the road, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive battle.
Against teams with outside stars, Yang Rui will reuse Tony Allen; The strongest offensive point of the Warriors is the interior twin towers, Yang Rui sent Paul and Curry to play double guards to increase Curry's playing time, and Korver was just a pseudo-starter.
The Clippers led by 15 points in the first half, and Yang Rui did not let Tony Allen play in the second half, and used Gary Neil, who was strong on offense and weak on defense, in the rotation.
Neil didn't disappoint Yang Rui, hitting five three-pointers and scoring 17 points in the game; Curry was just as crazy, shooting 6-of-13 from three-point range and chipped in 26 points and five assists in 30 minutes of playing time.
Brook Lopes and Zach Randolph are paired on the inside, and neither is good at switching guards. Conley used all his strength to deal with Paul, and he couldn't get his hands on Curry.
Under these conditions, Curry played like an All-Star, facing a much lower defensive intensity than Yang Rui in his previous life.
The Clippers have just completed the rebuild, and the players are not very tacit, but they have opened heads-up, and there are many strongmen on the team who can ensure offensive firepower.
Griffin had 22 points, 14 rebounds and three assists, Paul had 18 points and 16 assists, and Guy also scored 16 points.
Many fans said that they couldn't understand the Clippers, to say that Paul was amazing? He averaged fourth most points per game for the Clippers.
Say that Yang Rui's tactics are powerful? He doesn't have a lot of on-the-spot responses, just singles.
The most amazing thing is that after Yang Rui joined the Clippers, the role players who no one cared about at all went berserk, reminiscent of the Lakers in the 2009 playoffs.
The Lakers were inevitably pulled out again as a negative teaching material, and they also played three games, 1-2, and performed poorly.
As soon as Yang Rui left, the Lakers' role players became a bunch of waste, unable to give Kobe Bryant enough support on the offensive end, and still a colander on the defensive end.
In Comey's words, the Lakers all rely on Kobe. He averaged 33 points per game and led the scoring charts, and his teammates were like a crowd of watchers.
Compared with Yang Rui at the time, many people questioned, is it Kobe's teammates who are too poor, or is Kobe Bryant unable to give full play to their strength?
In addition to Kobe, the only beautiful stats on the Lakers are Kevin Love, who averages 19 points and 13 rebounds per game, and his defense has been criticized many times, becoming a glorious backstabber.
The worst is Tyrek Evans, who averages 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 40% from the field and 25% from three-point range, and looks like an ordinary player.
The Clippers overwhelmed the Lakers in terms of word-of-mouth and record in three games, and began to dominate Los Angeles, and team owner Donald Sterling went crazy.
