Chapter 702 [All silent]

The season started too late, and hardcore Los Angeles fans were waiting to see through the fall.

They don't care about any lockouts, greedy stars, asshole bosses, they just want to watch high-level basketball games; they don't care who wins or loses between the two teams, just play wonderfully.

On the 20th, the Staples Center was full just before the preseason.The Lakers and Clippers have no reservations, the stars have all played, they have rested for too long, and they must seize all the time to run the lineup.

In the locker room, Byron Scott even gave a pep talk like he did in the playoffs.

If the Lakers fail to score again this season, Scott will definitely be fired. What he can do now is that he led the team to the Western Conference finals in the 2009-10 season.

Yang Rui was very relaxed before the game. He just arranged tactics, refined the division of labor in the team, and let the core players make bold shots.

He doesn't take the Lakers seriously at all. Big Gasol and Love are not suitable for interior partners. Both have range and have a certain amount of power on offense.But on the defensive end, neither of them are fast. They are in a position to switch to pick-and-rolls, and they all suffer from quick retreats in counterattacks. The effect is not as good as Big Gasol and Aldridge.

In the playoffs, the Clippers and the Mavericks fought hard to attack and counterattack. They have experience in dealing with this kind of floor flow inside.

Therefore, Yang Rui directly sent a small ball lineup.Paul, Tony Allen, Korver, Shane, Griffin.

Lakers starting: Nash, Kobe, Luol Deng, Mike Roberts, Big Gasol.

The Lakers are not reserved, but Scott knows that Love and Big Gasol are not suitable to start together, and the team training is too slow.

If Love plays a power forward, defends the pick-and-roll, and Jeremy Lin, a marginal point guard, can smash him with the ball.

Mike Roberts can shoot three-pointers and can take on the task of evacuating.

From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with Scott's arrangement, and it is easier for the team to win, but Love is someone who has scored 20+10 and won the rebounding championship. How can he be willing to play as a substitute?
Love has no objection in the preseason, and if he has been allowed to be the sixth man in the regular season, he will soon propose a trade.The Lakers do not trade. He will be a restricted free agent after this season. There will be teams willing to pay him a high salary. The Lakers will definitely be in a dilemma.

Now, the Lakers already have four high-paid players, Kobe, Nash, Luol Deng, and Big Gasol.

Looking at the lineup, the Lakers are stronger than the Clippers, and the total salary is much higher than the Clippers, but after the game started, the Clippers quickly took the initiative.

The Clippers used mixed defense, and Tony Allen entangled Kobe Bryant on the outside. If Bryant broke through by covering, Griffin and Shane Battier would switch quickly, making it difficult for Bryant to break into the basket. He could only make outside jumpers or points. Ball to teammates.

Last season, the Lakers were swept by the Clippers in the regular season. Kobe Bryant was trying to produce luxurious data, but Yang Rui refused to let him do so.

One is close to defending without the ball, and the other is good at filling up and closing eyes to interfere with shots. No matter how much Kobe plays, it is impossible for Kobe to shoot easily.

Battier has no problem with defending Mike Roberts alone. This power forward has a softer style of play and takes the shot and support route. Battier can use experience to make up for the lack of strength.

The Clippers attacked, and the Lakers were very difficult to defend. Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll in the middle. The defense was slow to Paul's shot, and Paul was pulled out of the penalty area for the inside defense. Griffin could catch the ball and attack the basket.

Gasol could not leave the restricted area, and as soon as he went out, Griffin singled out Mike Roberts with ease.

Clippers players grab rebounds in the backcourt and fight back, Paul singled out Nash, and Griffin quickly singled out Gasol, all of which are good opportunities, just like dislocation.

The Clippers led 37-22 in the first quarter. The two teams were not at the same level at all. The arrival of new aid Shane Battier strengthened the Clippers' defense. Mike Roberts' defense was not much better than Odom, who was used to deserting.

The Comeys who watched the live broadcast online were all stunned. Kobe made 9 of 3 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 0 from three-pointers, 2 of 2 from the free throw line, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. The shooting percentage is too low.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Curry, Green, Guy, Parsons and Chandler.

Faried sat on the bench. Yang Rui had already greeted him in the preseason, and he was not allowed to play. The regular season was the team's secret weapon.He didn't want to let the opponent know how fast Faried, the power forward, was in rebounding and running because of the warm-up.

Yang Rui's arrangement surprised everyone. The tactical core was actually the second-round rookie Parsons, who played as a playmaker in the middle.

Guy, Green, and Curry pulled away, and Chandler gave Curry no-ball cover from the side to help him get rid of Fisher's catch and shot.

Parsons played the ball very quickly, and he had an unexpected tacit understanding with Curry's partner. Curry could not only shoot, but also made a sharp breakthrough with the ball, which could disrupt the defense and make secondary organization.

Troy Murphy's poor pick-and-roll defense is a typical data brush.He has a lot of glorious deeds, such as pushing his teammates away and rushing for rebounds, and in order to maintain his three-point shooting rate, a person who likes to shoot three-pointers can hold back not shooting a three-pointer in the last game of the regular season. ?
The entire league also likes him, O'Brien, let him brush casually, and now he can prepare to lose his job.

Curry hit a three-pointer, made a layup, and assisted Guy and Chandler to score empty cuts.

Parsons suddenly pulled up in the middle, hit a three-pointer, and assisted Green and Curry to hit a three-pointer.

The performance of the substitutes surprised the fans. A wave of 15 to 3 widened the point difference to 27 points, and it was garbage time before halftime.

Only Love made a three-pointer for the Lakers, and none of the other players played.

Fisher is worse than last season. In the summer, he was busy negotiating as the chairman of the players' union, and he didn't practice the ball.

DeMarre Carroll is a blue-collar player who can't shoot correctly; Kapono can only shoot, not in open positions; Murphy floats outside and shoots, even if he has a clear height advantage, he will not play Parsons in the low post.

Love can't take the bench, and the second unit lacks a perimeter ball-handling attacker.It's definitely better to reuse Jeremy Lin, but Scott gave Chairman Yu face and cheated the Lakers.

Paul played only 30 minutes and scored 17 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 steals. He repeatedly picked up backcourt rebounds and directly launched a counterattack, which is Chandler's credit.

Chandler had only 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, and three dunks.His numbers are not obvious. If he chooses to grab the rebound instead of the ball, and quickly return to the defense, the rebounding number can be in double figures.

This is the difference between an excellent team player and a data brush. Chandler has a high ball quotient and never plays indiscriminately. He averaged only 5.5 shots per game in his career, and the shooting rate was as high as 59.4%.

Curry scored a team-high 33 points and 6 assists, hitting 6 [-]-pointers.

Blake - Griffin has no shortage of wonderful performances, and finally scored 18 points and 11 rebounds; Guy, Green, Neil also scored in double figures.

湖人方面，科比21投8中，三分4中0，罚球6中6，拿下22分5篮板2助攻。

乐福15分12篮板2助攻；加索尔湖人首秀16分8篮板4助攻；纳什得到11分7助攻；罗尔邓7投1中，加罚球仅得5分，全队表现最烂。

Luol Deng wants to leave now, and is fed up with being a blue-collar perimeter defender. Just like when Artest joined the Lakers, he doesn't have the ball at all and is forced to transform into a fixed-point three-point shooter.

The Clippers beat the Lakers 141-96 by 45 points.

The people who sprayed the Clippers all stopped talking, and Comey felt desperate. It was obvious that Los Angeles was no longer dominated by the Lakers, and Kobe was not the best player in the league.

Kobe didn't have any reservations. You could see how impatient he was by looking at his expression. He almost bit his jersey into a hole, but he still lost, and his hit rate was poor.
