Paul played the entire quarter with 5 points, 1 rebound and 9 assists, and under his organization, all players on the Clippers scored.

Bryant had 16 points and 1 assist, and the two led the team in different ways.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent Fisher, Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes, Landry, and Odom.

The Clippers fielded Curry, Neal, Gay, Dunleavy and Jordan Jr.

The Lakers' bench lineup is admittedly strong, with four of them having championship experience, and Shannon Brown has the physicality to compete in the slam dunk contest, at least on the surface.

Unfortunately, the only people who are active in the Lakers defense are Barnes and Brown, and the other three are defensive holes.

Curry and Neil relied on cover to find opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and the shots looked casual, but the point difference continued to widen.

On the Lakers bench, there is also point guard Aaron Brooks, who was waived by Byron Scott this season.

Scott is too old-fashioned, there must be a certain type of player, he can bring good results, to put it bluntly, he is a player who can organize and drive the whole team, Kidd, Paul.

When it comes to the Lakers, Scott is a good star nanny and will no longer deliberately tap Brooks' potential.

Brooks suffered an injury last season and can't get back to the 2009 playoffs, and he's still running fast, but he's missing his great shooting touch.

Of course, if he plays, the Lakers still can't prevent it, even if he is at the peak of Brooks, he is not as inferior as Curry, and no coach will arrange him to play against Curry.

Recently, Brooks is also preparing to request a trade to get out of the Lakers before the trade deadline so he can see hope. He only has a chance of getting a big contract if he plays good numbers in the second half of the season.

Few players are more unlucky than Brooks when it comes to signing, and in Yang Rui's previous life, he signed a rookie contract for four years, which was close to the minimum salary. In 2009-2010, Brooks won the Most Improved Player award, but it was a team option and he couldn't jump out of his contract. Then he was injured in a contract year, and his stats dropped so badly that he couldn't get a big contract.

The worst thing is that Brooks also encountered a league shutdown in the contract year, which led to the inability to sign smoothly, joined the Chinese CBA for a season and failed to win the championship, and later returned to the NBA to be a marginal person.

Now, Brooks is not even as good as his previous life, and Scott usually gives Fisher time off the bench.

After only 4 minutes of play, Fisher was substituted and Bryant returned to the court.

Yang Rui did not make a substitution, let Guy go to the main defense Kobe, Kobe Bryant's hand felt good today, Tony Allen couldn't block the shot with a single defense, now change the defensive method, and it's not bad to disrupt Kobe's offensive rhythm.

Guy and Kobe Bryant did not disappoint Yang Rui, Guy is good at using his height and arm span to interfere with shots, and Kobe Bryant was dominated by jump shots as always, missing three consecutive shots under interference.

Since Guy's defense is good, Yang Rui will not make substitutions, and 6 minutes later, Paul came out to replace Neil and played a double guard with Curry.

The Lakers traded back to Love and partnered with Odom, and Landry was replaced early.

Landry had a successful season in Yang Rui's previous life, peaking with 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds, and was traded to the Kings as a bargaining chip in exchange for Kevin Martin.

The Lakers didn't need Martin as a shooting guard, and Landry stayed with the Lakers, his stats slipping again and again.

Even worse is DJ White, who has been reduced to a fringe man after two injuries and is currently out of action.

The Clippers led 74-47 at halftime and almost sealed the win.

The Lakers played an ugly game on many radio stations around the world, and the team was completely scattered, and only Kobe Bryant still shined, he scored a game-high 26 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the half.

Paul delivered 4 assists in a single quarter, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal, and his scoring could not be compared with Kobe, but he led the team far ahead.

At halftime, Yang Rui went to the locker room to praise the players and formulate tactics.

"In the next quarter, Chris (Paul) is going to be full, and all the players receive his pass, try to shoot immediately, give him an assist, and help him break his career single-game assist record. On the defensive end, he continued to defend Kobe Bryant and guard against others. ”

The two sides are in direct competition, and sending the Lakers a fiasco is conducive to the development of the Clippers, and Yang Rui will not keep his hand. With a big lead, he didn't want to win more points, but to help Paul brush up a super stat.

Stars who have played super data can attract fans more, and Yang Rui has arranged it this way when leading the previous teams.

Paul has no reason to refuse, his goal this season is to be the MVP of the regular season, and in order to achieve the goal, it is not enough to play too short or the stats are too poor, and he has a very strong desire to perform.

In the second half, Yang Rui replaced Guy and sent Tony Allen to play a single defense against Kobe.

The Lakers players all stood up in position, Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball, and several others caught the ball and shot.

Rohr Deng has the ability to play singles, Nash can play blocking and dismantling, and if Lefu has the ball, he is a strong interior with 20+10 ability, and he can't play all of them.

Kobe Bryant continued to score under the strict defense of a single man, but the Lakers' defense was worse and could not be prevented, and the point difference continued to widen.

Kenny Smith commented: "The Lakers players can't get together and play at their full strength. A lot of people say that Byron Scott's inferiority to Jerry Young is the reason for the Lakers' weakness, but I think it's more because of Kobe Bryant, who doesn't trust his teammates. ”

Barkley smiled: "The strongest time for the Lakers was the 2009 playoffs when Kobe Bryant was absent, Yao Ming was in the Lakers last season, they could still enter the Western Conference Finals, it is difficult for the Lakers to make the playoffs this season, Kobe has never been a good leader, he himself proved it." ”

Kobe Bryant is a very conflicted person, and he doesn't want to have teammates who are stronger than him, and people who are weaker than him can't be trusted by him.

Kobe Bryant not only hopes that the team's overall lineup is strong and hits the championship, but also wants to play the most luxurious data and win all the honors.

It's an endless loop, and it's hard to find teammates who are dominant, don't grab honor, and are willing to take the blame.

As long as the Lakers take Kobe Bryant as the core, ambitious players will leave because of Kobe's existence, leaving behind people who can't catch the ball and want to mess around, pass the ball to Kobe Bryant to complete the task.

The Clippers led by 39 points heading into the final quarter, and Paul added seven assists in a single quarter, with 13 points, 3 rebounds, 20 assists and 1 steal.

The Lakers didn't want to lose too much in the Christmas game at home, so the starting lineup continued to play, and only Odom rested.

Odom's non-play is a symbol of the Lakers' best efforts, and now he is too poor defensively and often distracted. After this season, it is impossible for Lakers management to execute Odom's third-year contract, and if any team still wants to bet on Odom and trade with the Lakers, it will definitely be unlucky.

Yang Rui also sent Paul to continue playing, and the other four were Korver, Gay, Dunleavy, and Jordan Jr.

In order to better attack and open up space, Tony Allen did not play again, and Guy was slightly inferior to Kobe Bryant alone, but he could play more on the offensive end. When he receives a pass from Paul, he can immediately pull out his hand and add an assist when he scores.

Seven minutes later, Bryant, who scored 14 points, was replaced, shooting 20-of-43, 2-of-7 three-pointers, and 9-of-10 free throws, for 51 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Paul also went off the court, scoring five more points, dishing out four assists, and finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes of playing time.

Paul broke his single-game assist record, which coincided with his last game against the Lakers, scoring 19 points and 21 assists in the 2007-08 season.

The Clippers beat the Lakers by 46 points 129-83.
