Chapter 707 [Trials that cannot be avoided on the road to the championship]

On the same day, Kobe continued to miss the game, and the Lakers defeated the underdog King 107-100 in back-to-back away games and won two consecutive victories.

国王状元凯瑞-欧文首秀12投6中，三分4中2，罚球7中6, 砍下20分3篮板7助攻。

The Lakers have exposed their weaknesses on the defensive end again. Inside players are terrible at defending pick-and-rolls, and Nash's single-handed defense against Irving is not good enough.

The perimeter combination of Irving and Marcus Thornton suppressed the Lakers' perimeter, but attacking the Lakers is not a vegetarian. The inside twin towers once again showed their power. Love and Gasol can attack and shoot, Cousins ​​and Hayes Can't stand it.

Luol Deng and backup power forward Mike Roberts are also very eye-catching, and they can make three-pointers to support.Mike Roberts also staged a beautiful two-handed dunk with Nash.

The Lakers blossomed in more than two consecutive games, five players scored in double figures, and Nash regained the feeling of the Suns, scored 13 points and 14 assists, leading the team.

Love was the fiercest, scoring a large double-double with 25 points, 23 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Lakers fans are happy again, thinking that the Lakers are just lacking in running-in, and now they are starting to find a sense of cooperation, and they will definitely be stronger when Kobe comes back.

Some people also poured cold water and said: The current Lakers are like the Lakers in the 2009 playoffs. They played well because they lacked a person. When that person comes back, they will definitely not cooperate. Let’s wait and watch the individual performance.

On the 27th, the Clippers did not have a game either. Yang Rui gave the players a holiday and participated 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.

Although the test screening has a good reputation, it shocked everyone after the real release, with 5500 million box office in North America in the first week.Stana Katic's single protagonist against the box office, this is a complete fire.

Two of Hollywood's most famous post-70s actresses, Angelina Jolie's highest-grossing movie was 2005's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which won the hype with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's extramarital affairs. 4.78 million.

Cameron Diaz's highest-grossing film "I'm Crazy for Mary" in 1998 took in 3.7 million at the box office.

Now, this "Gravity" will definitely break 5 million at the box office as long as there are no accidents.Even now that the global box office is growing, it's enough for Stana to be proud for a while.

It is a pity that Stana failed to defeat Nina Dobrev at home. "Twilight 11 Under Dawn", which was released in November, reached the top with an astonishing $4 million in its first week, creating "Twilight" Best opening weekend for the City" franchise.Now the global box office is 1.41 million...

The media's evaluation is generally good, and Stana is indeed more suitable for the role than Sandra Bullock.

Bullock's status in the hearts of the American people is that of the national silly eldest sister. The comedies are almost all classics, and the characters are lovable.

But in the space movie, Bullock is too old and has nothing to show off. Her face has changed very unnaturally, especially her cheekbones and chin, which seem to be the sequelae of plastic surgery, and the collapse of the temples seems to be too many injections.With her body and image, how could it be possible to go to space in reality?
The Clippers' home opener is relatively late, resting for two days, and on the 28th, they will challenge the Spurs away.

The Spurs have no major signings, and the lineup is similar to last season, only signing rookie Kawhi Leonard and guard Corey Joseph, as well as the 03 point guard TJ Ford.

The Spurs defeated the underdog Grizzlies in the first game. The strength of the "GDP combination" was still good, but the team's weaknesses could not be made up. Chase Budinger started as a small forward, Leonard came off the bench, and the marginal person was Ryan Gomez. , all three have obvious weaknesses.The former defense is poor, and the latter two can't attack.

Shooting guard Ginobili, Willie Green, James Anderson, except Ginobili, those two are not strong enough.The Spurs are weaker than Yang Rui's previous life. Two important rotation players, Gary Neal and Danny Green, have joined the Clippers.

The Clippers didn't pick Leonard, and Yang Rui had already dismantled the Spurs' lineup. Otherwise, because of his character, he would have been interviewed by the media before the draft day, praised Leonard, and promoted him to the draft. The Spurs can't be replaced.

Ginobili's chaotic style of play is not suitable for the starter. Usually, the starter is Green, who is good at three-point and face-frame defense. For the time being, the Spurs cannot find a good No. 2 to replace him.

This is another game that is broadcast live in the United States. This season, ABC, TNT, NBC and other major radio stations are broadcasting the Clippers games the most. Facebook broadcasts live broadcasts, and the Clippers games are not lost.

Spurs fans were looking forward to the game, and it was full.If the Spurs can't beat the Clippers, they can't win the championship. This is an inescapable trial on the road to the championship.

Clippers starting: Paul, Korver, Gay, Griffin, Chandler.

Spurs starting: Parker, Willie Green, Budinger, Scola, Duncan.

Chandler jumped to win and the game was on.

Paul dribbled the ball to the three-point line and protected it. When the players pulled away, Chandler screened in the middle. Duncan switched defenses in time and kept a distance from Paul, making him unable to make a pull-up jumper. Parker bypassed the screen and caught up.

Chandler made an empty cut, Paul took it to the right and faltered 45 degrees. He didn't pass Chandler in the middle, and he didn't give Griffin who raised his hand to the bottom line on the right. Instead, he passed the perimeter to the left side. Run to the hands of Guy in the middle.

Guy catches the ball and feints, attracting Budinger to raise his center of gravity, raise his hand to interfere, and change direction sharply to the left while holding the ball, and he succeeds in one step.He was 70 degrees on the left and made a one-step pull-up jumper inside the three-point line. 2 to 0.

Spurs offense, Clippers man-to-man defense.

Parker held the ball and Scola played a pick-and-roll in the middle. The "French Little Sports Car" got rid of Paul at full speed, lowered his center of gravity and rushed inside, changing direction and passing Griffin.

Chandler retreated to make up the defense and blocked Parker's shooting angle. Parker jumped up to score the ball, and Duncan received the ball at 45 degrees on the right. Before Chandler could save it, he hit the rebound. 2 to 2.

Barkley of TNT said: "Three years ago, the Spurs were winning on defense. When they won the championship in 3, the Spurs transformed into an offensive and winning team. nice."

Kenny Smith said: "Popovich is known as the current head coach second only to Jerry. In the 21st century, Jerry won seven championships, Popovich two, and the championship was almost divided by them. ."

Barkley said: "It's hard for the Spurs to beat the Clippers. They have a weak defense ... and pass to Gay again."

After Paul's pick-and-roll attracted the defense, he separated the ball out of the perimeter again. Guy singled against Budinger, changed direction and didn't pass the first step. He leaned on Budinger twice on the right side, turned and made a jumper.

His movements are extremely smooth, and the release point is very high, and Budinger can't cover it if he takes off a little slower, and enters another one. 4 to 2.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets reused second-round rookie Parsons and sent Budinger away because his defense was too poor.Bad wing defenders, even if the offensive efficiency is not low, the three-point shooting rate is 40%, can not stay.Parsons is not a defensive expert, at least harder than Budinger.

Popovich is now also considering trading Budinger, believing that the player cannot be developed.

On the surface, Budinger's physical fitness is excellent, and he can participate in the slam dunk contest. In fact, his style of play has already overdrawn the future. There is a serious risk of knee injury, and he does not know when it will break out.

He himself knows the hidden dangers of his knees, so his style of play is too refined and his lateral movement is not fast.

The Spurs attacked, Scola played a pick-and-roll with Parker again, Parker's breakthrough attracted the double team, the ball was scored in the middle, and Scola's jumper missed the basket under the slight interference of Chandler...
