The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 294 [Encounter Road Narrow Opening Match, Offensive Lineup Tawau People]

There are three regular-season openers on Oct. 10.

The Clippers VS Lakers battle in the same city, the Eastern Heat VS Celtics old and new Big Three duel, and the Suns VS Trail Blazers.All three games were fantastic.

Los Angeles fans have the same idea, the Lakers are going to be ravaged again...

After being swept last season, most Lakers players also lost confidence in winning.In the summer they introduced veteran center Ratliff, forward Jarvis Hayes and guard Blake.Signed the rookie forward Derek Karakot with the 2th pick in the second round. He is 28cm tall and weighs 206kg.There is also rookie small forward Devin Benikkes.There are many newcomers, but only quantitative changes, it is difficult to make the team stronger.
The choice of the Lakers coach is also debatable. The famous "puppet" Mike Brown who was cut by the Cavaliers came to the Lakers for 1800 million in four years. Many fans were shocked by this news.Kobe yelled for a month to support Brian Shaw as a coach, but the Lakers ignored him.

Anyone who watches the game knows what Brown's coaching level is.Some fans even shouted on the forum that Kobe had a great season because he is the core and coach of the Lakers.

There was another gimmick in this game. O'Neal made his debut after returning to Los Angeles. Although it was confirmed before the game that he would play as a substitute, it was enough to make the fans excited.

Today is the home court of the Clippers. Ye Feng was the first to play, and the fans cheered enthusiastically. O'Neal was placed last to play and set off a climax. He performed another hot dance, like an All-Star game appearance ceremony.

Kobe greeted O'Neill, but he didn't give Ye Feng any good looks.The two had a deep grudge, because Ye Feng stole his limelight, O'Neill didn't care, anyway, he was already retiring soon.

This season, the Clippers still have the most live broadcasts in the league, followed by the Heat, and the Lakers ranked seventh, and their popularity continues to decline. TN*T broadcast the game live and sent two old partners.

The players are still warming up, Barkley said with a smile: "I didn't expect O'Neal to return to Los Angeles in such a way at the end of his career. I don't know how powerful he can be in this game."

Smith said with a smile: "I'm afraid he won't play for too long. His movement speed is already very slow, and his ability to grab a rebound and launch a fast break is not as good as Love. Moreover, Love has successfully lost weight this season. It can be seen in the World Championships. , His speed is faster than before, his defensive ability has also improved, and he can shoot three-pointers, he will definitely occupy the starting lineup and get a lot of playing time. McGee is getting better and better in the second half of last season, and the Clippers are also There's no reason not to use him."

Barkley said: "It mainly depends on the lineup of the Lakers. If you are dealing with Odom, Ye Feng and Smith will play better. Today, the Lakers Bynum is absent again. His nickname is Shark, but he didn't play well. The domineeringness of the big shark. He left the most impression on people because he was injured and lost the chain at a critical moment. Today's Lakers are not dominant inside, I'm afraid there will be bad luck."

Smith said: "The biggest problem for the Lakers is still the back line. The weakness of the No. 1 position has not been resolved this season. Fisher was no good last season. Now in exchange for Blake, he also has no defense. Except for three-pointers, I don't know anything about Blake that's better than Farmar."

At this time, the starting players of both sides played.Barkley said loudly: "The Clippers have changed their lineup again in the new season. This lineup is a bit confusing. The No. 1 player they sent...the guy who looks like McGrady is Dorell Lai. Special? And Kidd didn’t even start?”

Smith laughed: "Maybe because Wright played well in the preseason."

The Clippers changed, and Kidd sat on the bench.He has no injuries, but Thibodeau feels that when playing Fisher, he should play fast, and Curry has an advantage.

The Clippers start five: McGee, Love, Ye Feng, Wright, Curry.

Lakers starting: Pau Gasol, Odom, Artest, Kobe, Fisher.

In the Dream Nine team, Love and Odom trained together for a period of time. After losing weight, his speed is not too disadvantageous and can be defended, so Thibodeau arranged for him to play power forward against Odom.Only staying at the basket is history.

The reason why Wright played was because of his height advantage. After training, he dared to make a jumper without completely throwing off the defense and not being in an empty position. He could add an outside firepower point for the Clippers.He also needs to defend Kobe on the outside, so today's task is very heavy.Against Gasol, McGee is still going to use the defense around the front, and Ye Feng will also retreat to the inside to help defend and block shots at any time.

There is no change on the Lakers side. The new coach Mike Brown is good at one tactic, star singles.In the Cavaliers, LeBron James was arranged as the core, and now this person has been replaced by Kobe.If he is hired as a coach, the Lakers will be out of luck.

Gasol performed very well in the low post last season, but now, Brown asked him to pull up to the high post and pick and roll Kobe with Odom. The idea of ​​a "puppet" is incredible.

The game begins.McGee jumped the ball past Gasol to Curry, who drove the ball upfield.

Kidd is on the bench, such a change can make the Lakers uncomfortable.It is much easier for Fisher to defend Kidd than to deal with Curry, at least not in terms of speed.

As soon as Curry arrived in the frontcourt, Ye Feng immediately pulled to a high screen.Wright runs to the right 45-degree angle, McGee and Love are both in the low post, attracting defense.

The person who followed Curry was Fisher. After a pick-and-roll, there was a misplacement. Curry broke through from the left and Artest switched defenses.Artest's speed was already very slow last season. He didn't practice during the holidays and gained some weight. Now his speed is even slower.But he can also use experience to keep up with Curry from the side.

Ye Feng ran out of the three-point line, and Curry passed the ball.Serious dislocations emerged in the first round.Fisher defended against Ye Feng. Today the Clippers wanted to take advantage of their height. How could Ye Feng be soft when facing Fisher?Immediately, the outside line was pulled out, and the two players in the low post were desperately stuck in position to grab an offensive rebound.

Ye Feng knew that it was impossible for Fisher to block the shot, so he shot very relaxedly, with a good grasp of the rhythm, and shot an empty three-pointer. 3 to 0.

Barkley shouted: "Ye Feng's first shot in the new season is actually a three-pointer, and he scored! If the Lakers use man-to-man to beat the Clippers, it will definitely not work. If the outside line is opened, the Lakers will lose."

Smith sighed: "Few people thought that the Lakers could win this game. The Clippers retained the main lineup from last season, but three marginal players left the team and introduced Yi Jianlian and O'Neal. This season, their interior is stronger. It doesn't matter if Barea is missing from the outside, and Curry and Thornton are there. Their second team does not lack players who can score, and Smith is also sitting off the court."

The Lakers attacked, and Wright followed Kobe on the perimeter.

When Kobe saw Wright's defense, he felt angry and underestimated. The Clippers' four swingmen Gazid ignored him and sent a fringe player who didn't make the playoff roster.In this case, Kobe would not choose to pass the ball.He didn't rely on the pick-and-roll, and directly dribbled the ball to break through. Wright tried to defend as close as possible. Kobe took the ball and changed direction, making an emergency stop and jumper. 3 to 2.

"Follow tighter, don't let him catch the ball easily!" Ye Feng shouted to Wright.It is more effective to follow Kobe without the ball and make it difficult for him to catch the ball, so Tony Allen's defense against Kobe is often better than others.It's just that Allen didn't shoot well, so Thibodeau left him off the court to play as a substitute.

Clippers attack.The Lakers changed the 32-zone defense. After two passes, Curry broke through and came out, passing to Wright on the outside, and Wright passed to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took the ball in the high position, Curry and Wright ran to the corners on both sides, opening up space, Fisher and Kobe could only follow, and then changed to 23 zone defense.McGee pulled to the perimeter to screen for Ye Feng, Ye Feng dribbled the ball to the low post, Odom switched defenses, and Love set a screen for Curry on the baseline to block Fisher.

As soon as Gasol switched defenses to keep up with Curry, Ye Feng immediately handed the ball to Love.At the top of the arc and in the high position, his career is very open.

In the last playoffs, the Clippers used continuous misplaced offenses to kill the Lakers, mainly attacking Fisher.Love received the ball and led Fisher to the low post, took the big to eat the small, turned around and wiped the board and made a shot. 5 to 2.

Of course, the Lakers can also attack by dislocation, but Curry, the shortest of the Clippers, is also 190cm tall and can interfere with shooting. The effect of the Lakers' dislocation will not be very good.

Fisher was also very helpless. He dribbled the ball past halftime and prepared to pass it to Kobe according to the coach's arrangement, but Kobe was entangled.Wright followed closely this time.His talent is very good, and if he doesn't look at his face, it will really make people mistake him for McGrady. As long as he keeps up with the speed, his long arms can play a very good role in interference.

In order to catch the ball, Kobe can only rely on screens, catch the ball and hit McGee alone. McGee uses the same method to interfere with shots and prevent breakthroughs. His arms are longer and his height advantage is more obvious. Kobe missed this ball. After getting a rebound from the backcourt, the Lakers quickly returned to defense.

The Clippers attacked, and Curry stretched out four fingers while running. The Clippers' fourth tactic was to evacuate the inside.Love pulled beyond the three-point line, and McGee also reached a high position to cover for Curry.

When the Lakers play zone defense, they can't follow up inside. Gasol stays in the low post, and Odom goes out to defend Love.

As a result, McGee gave Curry a high screen. After the misplacement, Curry attracted Gasol to switch defenses and passed the ball back to McGee. McGee did not make a strong shot against Fisher.Because Ye Feng had already used Love's off-ball screen to get rid of Artest on the outside and rushed into the three-point line, McGee handed the ball to Ye Feng in the middle.

Ye Feng rushed inside with the ball, which turned into Fisher's misplacement. Kobe knew that Fisher could not defend Ye Feng, so he jumped up from the side to help defend and block the shot.

But Ye Feng passed the ball back to the center.McGee cut inside after the pick-and-roll.As soon as the ball was passed, he strode into the basket, swayed twice exaggeratedly, relying on his explosive power to avoid Gasol's one-handed dunk, the ball missed, but caused a foul by Gasol.

McGee has made progress in the CIC and made two free throws. 7 to 2.

The Clippers' offense was unstoppable in the opening game, and all the inside players opened their doors!
