Chapter 706 [The Unavoidable Trial on the Road to Champion]
On the same day, Bryant continued to be sidelined, and the Lakers defeated the underdog Kings 107-100 on back-to-back roads to make it two wins in a row.
Kings champion Kyrie Irving made his debut with 6-of-12 shooting, 2-of-4 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line for 20 points, three rebounds and seven assists.
The Lakers' defensive end exposed weaknesses again, with poor blocking and pick-and-roll defense by interior players, and Nash not doing well enough to defend Irving alone.
The outside combination of Irving and Marcus Thorton suppressed the Lakers' outside line, but the Lakers are not vegetarian when they fight to attack, the inside twin towers are once again powerful, Love and Gasol can attack and shoot, Cousins and Hayes can't withstand it.
Rohr Deng and backup power forward McRoberts also played eye-catching, shooting three-pointers and responding. McRoberts also staged a beautiful two-handed dunk with Nash.
The Lakers blossomed in more than two consecutive games, with five players scoring in double figures, and Nash regained the feeling of the Suns, cutting 13 points and 14 assists, leading the whole team.
Love was the most aggressive, with a big double-double of 25 points, 23 rebounds and 2 assists.
Lakers fans are happy again, thinking that the Lakers just lack the run-in, and now they are starting to find the feeling of cooperation, and they will definitely be stronger when Kobe Bryant comes back.
Some people also poured cold water and said: The current Lakers are like the Lakers in the 2009 playoffs, they play well because they lack someone, and when that person comes back, they will definitely not cooperate, everyone is waiting to see the individual performance.
On the 27th, the Clippers did not play, and Yang Rui gave the players a holiday to participate in the "Gravity" celebration held by the company.
On the 24th, "Gravity" premiered in Los Angeles, and was simultaneously released in many countries around the world, with a bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth, and easily won the box office championship in the first week.
Although the test screening had a good reputation, it still scared everyone after it was actually released, with a box office of 55 million in North America in the first week. Stana Cartick's single-protagonist resisted the box office, which was completely popular.
The two most famous post-70s actresses in Hollywood before, Angelina Jolie's highest-grossing movie was "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2005, which won 478 million by relying on the hype of extramarital affairs with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Cameron Diaz's highest box office was 1998's "I'm Crazy for Mary", which grossed 370 million at the box office.
Now, as long as there is no accident, the box office of this "Gravity" will definitely break 500 million. Even now that the global box office is growing, it's enough for Stana to be proud for a while.
Unfortunately, Steiner couldn't beat Nina Dobrev at home, and "Twilight 4 Under Dawn," released in November, topped the box office with a staggering $141 million in its first week, setting the best opening weekend box office for a "Twilight" movie. Now the global box office is 830 million......
The media reviews were generally good, and Stana was indeed a better fit for the role than Sandra Bullock.
Bullock's status in the minds of the American people is that of a national silly sister, and his comedies are almost classics, and his characters are likable.
But acting in a space movie, Bullock is too old, her figure has nothing to show off, and her face is even more unnatural, especially her cheekbones and chin, which seem to be the sequelae of plastic surgery, and her temples are collapsed and like she has had too many injections. With her body and image, how can she go to space in reality?
The Clippers' home opener was relatively late, with two days of rest, and on the 28th, they challenged the Spurs away.
The Spurs didn't have any major signings, and the roster was similar to last season, except for the signing of rookie Kawhi Leonard and guard Corey Joseph, as well as '03 point guard TJ Ford.
In the first game, the Spurs defeated the weak Grizzlies, and the strength of the "GDP combination" was still good, but the team's weaknesses could not be compensated, Chase Badinger started the small forward, Leonard came off the bench, and the fringe man was Ryan Gomez, all three of whom had obvious weaknesses. The former has poor defense, and the latter two are not good at attacking.
Shooting guards Ginobili, Willie Green, James Anderson, in addition to Ginobili, those two are not strong enough. The Spurs are weaker than Yang Rui in his previous life, and two important rotation players, Gary Neal and Danny Green, have joined the Clippers.
The Clippers didn't choose Leonard, and Yang Rui had already dismantled the Spurs' lineup, otherwise with his character, he would have been interviewed by the media before the draft day, praising Leonard and promoting him to the top, so that the Spurs couldn't be replaced.
Ginobili's chaotic style of play is not suitable for starters, and it is usually Green, who is good at three-point shooting and face frame defense, and the Spurs cannot find a good No. 2 to replace him for the time being.
This is another game that will be broadcast live in the United States, and this season, major radio stations such as ABC, TNT, NBC and other major radio stations have broadcast the most Clippers games, and Facebook networks have broadcast them live, and the Clippers games have not fallen.
Spurs fans are looking forward to this game, and the whole stadium is full. If the Spurs can't beat the Clippers, they won't be able to win the championship, and this is an unavoidable test on the road to the championship.
Clippers starters: Paul, Korver, Gay, Griffin, Chandler.
Spurs starters: Parker, Willie Green, Badinger, Scola, Duncan.
Chandler jumped the ball and the game began.
Paul dribbled the ball to the three-point line to protect it, and when the players pulled away, Chandler covered in the middle, Duncan changed the defense in time and kept his distance from Paul, so that he couldn't make a quick stop jump shot, Parker bypassed the cover and chased up.
Chandler cut into the air, Paul took it to the right side and shook it at 45 degrees, did not cross to Chandler in the middle, nor did he give Griffin who raised his hand to the right baseline, but passed out of the perimeter to Guy who ran from the left to the middle.
Guy received the ball and drummed, attracting Battinger's center of gravity to rise, raising his hand to interfere, holding the ball to the left side of the direction sharply, and one step was successful. He hit a pull-up jump shot from 70 degrees to the left of the three-point line. 2 to 0.
The Spurs offense, the Clippers man to man defense.
Parker held the ball and Scola played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and the "French Little Roadr" got rid of Paul at full speed, lowered his center of gravity and rushed inside, changing direction past Griffin.
Chandler stepped back to make up for the defense, blocked Parker's shooting angle, Parker jumped up and went out, Duncan received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, and without waiting for Chandler to save, he hit the board and shot. 2 to 2.
TNT Radio's Ross Barkley said: "Three years ago the Spurs won games defensively, and when they won the championship in 2010, they transformed into an offensive winning team that averaged the best points per game for several seasons in a row, so it was definitely a good game today. ”
Kenny Smith said: "Popovich is known as the second best head coach after Jerry in the active team, and in the 21st century, Jerry won seven championships, Popovich two, and the championship was almost divided between them. ”
"It's hard for the Spurs to beat the Clippers, they have weaknesses defensively," Barkley said...... It's been passed to Guy again. ”
After Paul blocked and attracted the defense, he once again distributed the ball out of the perimeter, and Guy singled Badinger, changed his direction and didn't pass the first step, leaned on Badinger twice on the right side, turned and threw a backward jumper.
His movements were extremely fluid, and his shot was very high, and Badinger couldn't cover it if he jumped a little slower, and he scored another one. 4 to 2.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets reused second-round rookie Parsons to send Bardinger away because his defense was too poor. Poor wing defenders, even if the offensive efficiency is not low, and the three-point shooting rate is 40%, can't stay. Parsons is not an expert in defense, at least more than Battinger.
Popovich is now also considering trading Battinger, believing that the player cannot be developed.
On the surface, Badinger has a strong physical fitness and can participate in the slam dunk contest, but in fact, his style of play has overdrawn the future, and he has a serious injury to his knee, and he doesn't know when it will break out.
He himself knows the hidden dangers of his knees, so his style of play is too elegant and the lateral movement is not fast.
The Spurs attacked, Scola and Parker played again, Parker broke through to attract the bag, the ball was divided into the middle, and Scola's jumper deflected off the basket under Chandler's slight interference......
