Chapter 753 [The First Center that Drags Down the Lakers]
The Lakers offense was lifeless and morale was low.
After being dunked, Pau Gasol had no intention of returning one, and continued to block Kobe Bryant on the periphery, and stood in the middle to wait for the ball to be returned.
Kobe Bryant walked to the right side with the ball, leaned on Green with his back to the right side at 45 degrees, turned around and hit a back-to-back jumper on the baseline. 10 to 4.
This kind of goal is very beautiful, and fans never get tired of watching it, but even if the shooting rate is 50%, Kobe Bryant will score 40 points if he shoots 40 times, and he can't die. Yang Rui arranged for people to mark, Guy and Paul followed the outside three-pointers, and Kobe's score couldn't create a direct opportunity.
There are people on the Internet every day how ruthless Kobe Bryant is in the bag, in fact, more than 90% of the balls are singles, and breaking through the penalty area will attract pinching. It's not just Kobe, so almost all the stars are treated like this, and there won't be too many gaps in local pinching.
The Clippers attack, the tactics are still launched from the outside, from the outside in, inside and out.
Chandler drew Howard to the defense in the low post, and Paul passed to Green, who didn't have a direct shot and passed to Guy. Guy attacked in the same way as before, making a one-step pull-up jump shot and dodging the ball to score. 12 to 4.
Artest relies on strength both offensively and defensively, and his speed is not very fast. Artest, who is 33 years old this year, has declined on the wing, because his lateral movement is too slow, Guy can open up space with a change of direction and a turn, and Atay's bounce power can't cover it.
The Lakers attacked, Hinrich brought to the front court and passed Kobe Bryant, but the Lakers still didn't cooperate. Bryant passed the ball to Howard in the low post, who leaned his back against Chandler on the left side, flicked his left shoulder, and made a quick turn towards the baseline.
Howard may have passed when he met the average insider, but Chandler was one of the best centers in the league, he stuck in position and didn't jump, raised his hand to interfere, and kept Howard away from the basket.
Howard grabbed the shot, the board near the line of the box missed the basket, Chandler got stuck, so that Howard could not jump twice to grab the rebound, Griffin retreated, and easily picked up the rebound.
The Clippers attacked, Paul took the front court to pass to the side Green, and he and Chandler played a block and a break in the middle, cutting to the bottom corner of the right side. Griffin cut to the basket after a side screen, a crossover run, and the Lakers' defense was messed up.
Howard stood near the penalty area, prevented Griffin from receiving the ball and hitting the basket, Green passed the ball to Paul, Hinrich was blocked by the screen, but he couldn't chase the defense in time, Gasol retreated, and also chased Griffin.
Paul got an open spot in the bottom corner and hit a jumper. 15 to 4.
After this goal, McBrown asked for a timeout, and if he didn't arrange a tactical defense for the Clippers three-pointer, they could score 150 points today.
"Whether it's the Lakers players, the management and the coaches, they are all very anxious in the summer, thinking that not winning a championship this season is a failure, and even the mentality of the fans is the same," McBrin said. In fact, when a team is just formed, it needs at least one season to run in. Even with Jerry Young leading the team, it took the Raptors and Clippers one season to win the championship. I think the coach is Mike Brown, and it's going to take more time to run in. ”
Van Gundy sighed: "When I first met Jerry, I thought this man was different, but I didn't expect him to achieve such a horrible achievement, and no coach can compare to him, which is the biggest advantage of the Clippers." ”
CCTV5 is talking about Howard, who has no demeanor as the first center.
Yu Jia said: "Since joining the Lakers, the data and role of Warcraft have shown a great downward trend, and his confusion and entanglement are the biggest mystery for the Lakers' future." The Lakers hoped that he could guard the restricted area and win the interior advantage in the playoffs, but now the monster has become a trapped beast, which has dragged the Lakers down. ”
Zhang Li said: "Many American media have pointed out that compared with Orlando, Los Angeles has more appearances, which makes Warcraft's attention not so concentrated. He loves to laugh, in Orlando, and even more so in Los Angeles. Even if he loses, Warcraft is still stealing the spotlight with a smile. I think he should be serious, you know, the Lakers are losing streak now. ”
After the timeout, the Lakers' offense still didn't improve, they could only attack from the position, and the Clippers defended the top in the league with an explosion of player talent.
Commies shouted for several years, "Kobe Bryant is not alone, he forced his shot because he couldn't shoot his teammates", and it finally became a reality. In the face of man-to-man defense, Kobe Bryant doesn't play, and the efficiency of other people's heads-up is really not as high as him.
Bryant had a good hand today, shooting 6-of-10 from the field, 1-of-2 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line in the quarter, scoring 15 points. But his teammates were all defended, and the Lakers trailed 23-39.
Two role players became bitter for the Lakers, shooting 4-of-6 from three-point range in the first quarter, as well as a counter-attacking layup, scoring 14 points and 1 assist, and Guy also scored 10 points.
As soon as Kobe Bryant rested in the second quarter, the game became completely one-sided, even if Gasol brought a substitute, it was useless.
The Lakers fielded Sessions, Darius Morris, Ibanks, Jamison, Gasol.
The Clippers put on a five-man lineup of Curry, Korver, Battier, Parsons, and Farid.
Thackeray was not in the 12-man squad today, with Tony Allen and Draymond Green still on the bench. Don't let Tony Allen play, Yang Rui wants to fight with the Lakers resolutely to attack, defend three points, and admit it if the Lakers can score inside.
When defending, it changed from man-to-man to 122 joint defense, Battier and Farid were on the baseline, Korver and Parsons were on the wings, Curry was in the middle, and the four of them could retreat at any time to defend the penalty area.
Yang Rui taught the newcomers: "Look carefully at how your teammates play, the small lineup interferes with the shooting and suffers, but you can rely on the contraction formation to wrap the opponent's big man, guard the penalty area, one person resists, one person pulls the ball to force it to pass out of the outside line." Study the opponent, let the person who can't shoot the ball well, then protect the rebound, grab the rebound collectively, and immediately launch a counterattack. ”
At this time, Gasol drew the bag and passed it out of the perimeter, and Morris, a second-round rookie in '11, hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Yang Rui still stood up and applauded the contracted Battier a few times, thinking that he was well defended.
The newcomers were immediately impressed, in the Clippers, just strictly implement the tactics arranged by Yang Rui, as long as they play according to the offensive and defensive tactics, it doesn't matter if they lose points. Darius averaged just 2.4 points per game last season, and there's nothing to be afraid of with this kind of shooting.
The Clippers attacked, Parsons played a playmaking forward in the middle, the two pulled away on the right side, and Farid gave Curry no ball cover on the left side.
Curry is one of the most accurate players in the NBA, Gasol can only defend out, Curry receives the ball and shakes, changes direction with the ball to break through, shakes out half of his body, throws the ball into the air, Farid covers and squeezes away Sessions to cut, and smashes the ball with both hands.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol played a block for Sessions, and Sessions burst out on the left side to attract and change defenses and then gave it to Gasol, who cut in the middle. Gasol received the ball into the basket, held it high to attract a three-man bag, and distributed the ball out of the perimeter, and Jamison missed a three-point shot from a 70-degree gap on the right side.
It was bad for the Lakers to miss a shot, Battier grabbed the rebound, and the Clippers went down quickly.
Battier passes to Curry on the left, who hits the ground to Farid in the middle. Farid received the basketball and sprinted in a straight line, completely shook off Gasol before the three-point line, and took three steps to glide with both hands and dunk the ball.
Farid rushed too fast, grabbed the basket with both hands, threw both feet to the height of the rebound, and his body was completely sideways. The fans in the stadium stood up and cheered again.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol relied on his height advantage to receive the ball close to the basket, held it high, and was caught again, he distributed the ball to the bottom line, Darius made a three-point shot again, missed, Farid easily won the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers players retreated.
In order to ensure the speed of the defense, Gasol didn't even dare to grab the rebound in the front court......
