Chapter 675 [As God Said]
The game was broadcast live on many TV stations, and CCTV5 commentators were also discussing it.
Zhang Reasonably: "The weakness of the Lakers is not offense, but defense, both inside and outside can't be prevented, Love and Nash are defensive loopholes, Kobe Bryant and Odom's defensive ability has declined, and the only thing that the team can defend seems to be only Luo Er Deng, which doesn't help." ”
Yu Jia said: "Evans can defend and is not afraid of mismatch. The Lakers replaced Nash, the No. 1 position was completely unguarded, and Paul's heads-up was an opportunity, but he seemed to be more willing to assist his teammates. ”
Zhang Li said: "If the Lakers don't use joint defense, Griffin is misplaced and empty, and Nash is impossible to prevent." ”
As soon as the words fell, the Lakers finally scored, and Kobe Bryant singled out Guy in the low post, turned around and hit a backward jumper. 11 to 2.
The score was behind, but the fans still gave Kobe Bryant a warm applause. He plays with a "picturesque posture" and an offensive kaleidoscope of attributes, his stretched posture, soft and strong movements, and great ornamentation, which has won him the hearts of countless fans.
Kobe Bryant often plays super pulls, breaks through violent dunks, and can hit difficult fairy balls when he is fouled, these are enough, it doesn't matter if he wins or not.
The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin played a block and dismantle, and the left corner suddenly hit the ground and passed to the baseline.
Tony Allen cuts in the air on the baseline, Kobe Bryant goes to defend Guy, and Odom defends Allen.
Originally, Odom's speed was at an absolute disadvantage, but at this moment he was a little distracted, allowing the opponent to cut in easily, and he didn't chase the defense.
Odom stood in place, his eyes widened, and he turned into a blood-red three-hooked jade, "Xia Lingan"!
Unfortunately, the ordinary writing wheel eye was not enough, and he didn't practice to be a god and couldn't move the opponent or the basketball to a position, so Tony Allen scored an easy layup.
13-2, Paul had his fourth assist.
Bryant yelled at Odom twice, which was really frustrating, he was too lax defensively, and he was no longer the Odom he was before 2009.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Odom was a rare player who could make outstanding contributions in all five stats (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks) on the basketball court. He is one of only three players in NBA history to contribute 12,000 points, 8,000 rebounds, 3,500 assists and 600 three-pointers, the other two being Bird and Kidd.
In his rookie season, Odom averaged 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and on December 30, 1999, he scored his first triple-double against the Rockets with 10 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, making him the youngest triple-double contributor in the league before James, and "Dunk" magazine called him the next magician.
Working with Yang Rui has allowed Odom to reach the peak, although he has played most of the time as a substitute, but by 2009, Odom has won four championships, one world championship, and one sixth man of the year.
Unfortunately, in 2009 he married Khloe Kardashian, which became a turning point in his life.
In Yang's previous life, Odom's condition deteriorated after 2011, and he was the first victim of NBA Defensive Team Khloe Kardashian, and the Lakers lost patience and traded him to the Mavericks, and his stats plummeted to 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds. In 2013, Odom returned to the Clippers, averaging only 4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, and later signed with the Knicks, who were cut after only 3 months. Phil Jackson said: "Odom no longer has the attitude and spirit that a professional player should have. ”
In 2013, Kohler also chose to leave him, and he was arrested for drunk driving. In the summer of 2015, after Khloe and Harden revealed their relationship, Odom almost hung up at a brothel due to excessive indulgence, and finally miraculously picked up a life.
Today's Odom is even more lax than in his previous life, because he lacks nothing and continues to stay with the Lakers in order to earn a high salary and then wait for retirement. He doesn't have the ambition to prove himself a superstar, nor does he have the passion to win.
After Yao Ming, Iguodala, Louis Williams and others left, Odom began to work and not work, anyway, the credit for winning the game is Kobe's, and he is responsible for losing.
At present, in the Lakers, it is useless to have a strong desire to win, for example, Rohr Deng Kong has nowhere to squander, his average data per game has dropped to 14 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists, and he only averages 10.9 shots per game, so he can only be a pseudo-Pippen without the ball.
As the game continues, Nash passes the ball to Kobe Bryant, and it will be difficult to get it back in his hands because the Clippers don't have a catch. Resolutely guarding against Kobe Bryant and guarding against others is Yang Rui's strategy.
As long as the Lakers role players are blocked, Kobe Bryant will be a dead end no matter how many points he scores, because Kobe Bryant mainly plays two-point shots, and the shooting rate is only about 45%, and Tony Allen and Guy can't prevent him from scoring, but they can limit his efficiency.
With the Lakers' poor overall defense, it is a sure thing that the Clippers have a higher shooting percentage, they can definitely win, and the suspense in this game is how many points to win.
If Kobe Bryant can't drive the whole team through the combination of sudden points and shots, there is not much difference between him and Guy, Yang Rui's tactic is to cut off the connection between Kobe and his teammates and turn him into Guy with unlimited shots.
Guy has been sprayed because he averaged 2.4 fewer assists per game than Kobe Bryant in his career, a person with an annual salary of only 10 million, and an average of 18.4 points per game on 45% shooting.
Bryant singled Tony Allen again, took the left side to change direction and hit a pull-up jumper, and hit it with interference. 13 to 4.
At this time, the cameraman gave Yang Rui a close-up, and he applauded on the sidelines, not knowing whether it was for Kobe's beautiful jump shot or for Tony Allen's kraft candy-style defense.
The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin blocked and dismantled, attracting Love to switch defenses and Nash to chase the defense. This time, Griffin didn't have time to cut, and Paul passed the ball to the middle.
Griffin made an easy jump shot in the high post, and the ball went in! 15-4, Paul's fifth assist.
Nash slowly dribbled the ball forward, without the slightest intention of launching a counterattack, and even if he wanted to, he would not succeed. There were four teammates, and except for Luo Erdeng, the other three were reluctant to run.
Nash brought it to the front court to look at Kobe Bryant who reached out for the ball, passed the ball without much thought, and ran slowly to the bottom right corner.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Nash was a tragic star, winning the regular season MVP trophy in 2005 and 2006, but he led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals at most, and never tasted the Finals in his life.
Only five players who have ever won the MVP have failed to win a championship: Nash, Karl Malone (2), Charles Barkley (1), Allen Iverson (1), and Derrick Rose (1).
Nash is even worse in this life, he doesn't even have an MVP, and his life is not going well, he cheated and was caught by his pregnant wife some time ago.
He begins to feel lost and becomes the walking dead in Los Angeles.
Nash had long expected that it would be difficult for the current Lakers to win, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and the players did not cooperate with each other at all, but pulled each other's back.
As Yang Rui said, a point guard and Kobe Bryant are not compatible, and the outside players who need the ball are not compatible with Kobe, the only thing Kobe needs is an interior star who can shoot away, can defend, and can grab rebounds, and only with this kind of super interior partner, Kobe can win.
So the question is, do these celebrity insiders need Kobe? Or will Kobe Bryant only hug the thighs of the inside?
Nash had the idea to leave the Lakers after his contract expired in 2012 and take a pay cut to join the Clippers.
He is a person with a high IQ, and he has guessed that it is impossible to succeed in the Lakers, and the best way to succeed is to join the Clippers.
As long as he joins the Clippers, his characteristics will definitely be able to be played, even if he can only play as a substitute, it is better than seeing no hope like now.
