Chapter 754 [This is a Lesson]

After 5 minutes in the second quarter, the Lakers only scored 5 points, except for Morris's three-pointer, only Sessions scored a forced layup, and the margin continued to widen.

Gasol passed the ball when he encountered the bag, only forced a shot on the inside once, missed the interference, and did not score a point.

McBrown replaced Kobe Bryant and Artest, and let Gasol play for another two minutes before replacing Howard, and the offense was opened, but it was never able to prevent. The two-guard combination of Paul and Curry has made the Lakers unguardable.

At halftime, the Clippers led 73-45.

In the second half, Tony Allen was sent on the court by Yang Rui to partner Curry on the outside, and Paul rested. Up front, Parsons, Battier, Griffin, small-ball tactics.

This lineup strengthened the defense on the outside, but Howard still couldn't play, he singled out Griffin to withstand it, and misplaced the Clippers player to pull a foul and send him a free throw, preventing Howard from rushing.

In this quarter, Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball anymore, he took the ball and hit it strongly, and Howard didn't ask for the ball in the low post, but pulled out to cover, and then cut to the basket. The Clippers foul a lot, but that's okay, they rotate more people.

Curry shot three three-pointers in the quarter and scored 13 points, and Parsons also scored eight points and three assists. At the end of the game, the Clippers led by 37 points, and Yang Rui unfortunately exercised the newcomers and practiced tactics in the final quarter.

The Clippers' all-bench lineup against the Lakers' main team led by Kobe Bryant still did not suffer. Draymond Green got the chance to play the full quarter, didn't score, grabbed five rebounds, dished out four assists, and did a good job.

In his previous life, Green could become a triple-double maniac in the league, and his skills were not practiced in the NBA, and he was good at handling passes in college.

Green spent most of his first season on the bench, averaging 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, rising to 8.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in the NCAA tournament and helping Michigan reach the finals.

In his sophomore season, Green averaged 9.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game and was unanimously voted Sixth Man of the Year in the Big Ten Division.

In his junior season, Green's organizational skills began to show, averaging 12.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, and on February 10, 2011, Green became the third player in Michigan state history to record a triple-double, the first two being "Magic" Johnson and Charlie Bell, in the NCAA tournament, Green had his second triple-double in the season.

In his senior season, Green averaged 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, leading the Michigan State to win the Big Ten championship. Just looking at the data, he should be a first-round lottery show, and the Clippers have picked up a big bargain.

Curry was the best performer, playing the full fourth quarter, hitting three three-pointers, a breakaway assist for Korver's three-pointer, and a dunk on the counter-attack.

Curry played 32 minutes, shooting 13-of-20, 8-of-14 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws to finish with 35 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Because Barbosa didn't make the 12-man squad, Paul rested, Curry had to take the bench in garbage time. But he is an All-Star, fortunately, the Lakers bench players are not bloody, otherwise they may have to foul him maliciously.

Paul played 28 minutes and had 16 points and 13 assists, Gay had 24 points, Griffin had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Green also scored 17 points, and all seven players on the team scored in double figures.

Bryant was the only normal player for the Lakers, shooting 14-of-23, 2-of-4 from three-point range, 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, finishing with 40 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and six turnovers.

Howard shot 4-of-7 from the field and 5-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks.

Gasol shot 5-of-9 from the field and missed free throws to finish with 10 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Except for the three of them, no Lakers scored double-doubles, Hinrich shot 2 of 6, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, which is the fourth best person in the Lakers.

Artest, another main player, made 3 of 10 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 7 points and 3 assists.

In the last few minutes, many fans were cheering for the Clippers bench players, and after Kobe Bryant was replaced, he returned to the locker room without waiting for the game to end.

The Clippers won 143-93, beating the Lakers by 50 points.

How ugly Howard's expression is, how ugly it is, the happy center can't laugh.

He chose to join the Lakers in pursuit of greater business interests and now realizes it was a mistake.

In the early years of his career, Howard was very simple-minded and focused all his mind on playing. But as he grew older, he began to think about business interests. In fact, the first thing to do is to play the ball well, and then it can generate commercial value and make more money, on the contrary, the Lakers can't win the ball, he will only depreciate with it.

It's a lesson. Unfortunately, Howard had to learn this lesson in front of the whole world. People see his flaws and will judge him as good or bad.

At the press conference, Bryant still attended, otherwise he would be fined.

After the game, when a reporter asked if Kobe Bryant was angry the whole time, he replied: "A little angry." ”

When asked about the specific reason for his anger, Bryant spat out four words: "No comment." ”

When asked if the Lakers' three-game losing streak was a concern, Bryant made a weird joke. "I'm so scared, are you serious? My legs were shaking a little with fear. ”

I don't know if he is confident that he will lead the team to win the game or if he will express his dissatisfaction in this way.

'We don't need to put extra pressure on ourselves, the season has just begun.' "We understand that everybody expects a lot from us, they think we should play great, but sometimes greatness takes time," Howard admitted. ”

The Lakers' losing streak has also crumbled the newly appointed Mike Brown's handsome position, and Brown looked a little annoyed when talking about the loss. "It's frustrating, the frustration is simple, we didn't play the way we said we did, the Clippers are very strong, you can't play against them and you can't be slack on the defensive end, unfortunately we did a poor job."

The reporter asked Yang Rui to evaluate this game and the Lakers.

Yang Rui said flatly: "It's normal to win big, the Lakers are just a bad team with two consecutive defeats, and the Clippers are the best team." ”

The reporter asked: "Do you think the Lakers' Big Three didn't play well because of the run-in?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "If the Lakers players can be called giants now, wouldn't I be an All-Star team in the years when I led the Lakers?" They have too many problems, the roster is not as good as last season, and I don't think the Lakers can make the playoffs. ”

The reporters are very happy that Yang Rui's words will make headlines again tomorrow. The Lakers have been hyped a lot in the summer, and if they don't make the playoffs, it's definitely big news. If the Lakers play well and their record improves, they can also slap Yang Rui in the face and create more news in the future.

Yang Rui doesn't think he will be slapped in the face, this Lakers team is weaker than his previous 2012-2013 season. Artest has just been traded, lacks a run-in, Nash is not there, and Sessions' style is not suitable for the Lakers. In terms of benches, the interior line is also missing a super-physical Jordan Hill.

Moreover, now that the league doesn't favor the Lakers, they always let Stern down.

On top of that, the Lakers are missing the "cornerstone" Robert Thackeray. If Thackeray waives a towel in ecstasy after scoring a goal, a hot dance can boost morale. Now the Lakers players are all lifeless, like a bunch of prisoners waiting to be executed.

The reporter asked: "Do you think the Lakers can't win because of the leader Kobe?" Or for some other reason. ”

"Of course I know why." Yang Rui paused for a moment and said with a smile: "But I won't say it, because I'm not the head coach of the Lakers anymore." ”
