Chapter 802 [3 minutes and 44 seconds, the Lakers are going to be miserable]

Trailing by double digits at the start, Mike Brown didn't call a timeout and let the players adjust freely on the field.

Fans will nickname Brown "Bread", which shows that this person is difficult to be a big job. He is very good as a defensive assistant, and as a head coach, whether he arranges offensive tactics or responds on the spot, he is terrible.He is neither a professional, nor an NBA player, but an extremely rare videographer who has changed his career to become a coach. It is normal for such a person to have few tactics.

Last season, Brown left the deepest impression is not tactics, but the kung fu.

In the second half of the season, he publicly stated that Kobe is still the top three players in the league in terms of personal ability. He is better at dealing with adversity than James, Durant, Curry and others.

After the regular season, Brown said that Kobe should be a candidate for MVP, not only because he was Kobe's coach, but in his mind, there is a list of reasons why Kobe should be selected as MVP.

Now, as usual, Bryant faces adversity again.

He asked for the ball as soon as half court was over, moved laterally and brought it to the three-point line on the right, took the ball and faltered towards Gasol in the middle, made a "fake facsimile shot", and pulled out in front of Middleton. Three points.

Before the game, Middleton knew that he wanted to defend Kobe. He did his homework and strictly guarded against breakthroughs and turnaround shots near the penalty area. If Kobe made a mid-to-long-range shot, he would let him shoot. He stepped forward as much as possible to close his eyes and interfered to complete the task arranged by the coach.

Since Yang Rui left the Lakers in 2009, Kobe's hit rate has been around 3%, which is nothing to be afraid of.To apply online words, "Kobe's 3-pointer is nothing but a meal". He has a single-game 3-point record when he feels it, but his career [-]-point shooting rate is very dismal.

Sure enough, Kobe's shot missed the basket, Chandler grabbed the rebound, this time the Lakers players retreated faster, and the Clippers fell to the ground.

Curry took it to the middle of the frontcourt to organize, Chandler and Griffin pulled out of the penalty area, and gave Green and Middleton no-ball screens on both sides.

Green took too many [-]-pointers last season, and everyone knew he couldn't be left open. Williams switched on the right side aggressively, and Nick Young worked hard to chase him.But Kobe Bryant on the left didn't take Middleton seriously at all, and he didn't chase after being blocked by Griffin.

Curry passed the ball to the left, Middleton caught the ball, and Gasol was not active in switching defenses, shrinking near the penalty area, and there was a big gap on the court.

Middleton will not miss this opportunity and hit a three-pointer. 13 to 0.

The Lakers attacked, and Blake took it to the frontcourt and finally stopped passing Kobe and passed it to Nick Young, who was running.

Nick Young catches the ball and hits Green with a single, but the forcible breakthrough fails. He turns around and looks for Gasol. The latter faces Chandler in the middle and has no height advantage. After feinting, he can't break through. He then finds Kobe who wants the ball.

The Lakers didn't cooperate at all, and the player positions were all dead.As soon as Howard left, there was one less singles point. Gasol was mainly responsible for the high position, and occasionally played a few empty cuts.

Kobe Bryant forcibly broke through, was double-teamed by Middleton and Griffin near the right penalty area, forcibly turned to the middle and missed a jumper. .

Williams vacated Kobe and didn't pass. He didn't believe that such a nameless person would probably waste the vacant opportunity. He would be very angry at that time, and he might as well shoot against the double team.

In fact, Williams has a certain degree of confidence in his mid-range shot. He can't hit the basket against bad shots, and he mainly relies on mid-range shots to score.

Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound and threw it to the frontcourt. The Clippers quickly got off. Curry didn't catch the ball under Blake's body. , After attracting Nick Yang to defend in the middle, he gave it to Green on the right.

Before Kobe Bryant ran the half court, Green was empty, caught the ball and made a three-pointer, making another one, 16-0.

Clippers bench Thackeray began to lead the dance, the players stood up and applauded, and the fans cheered one after another.

Brown called a timeout. He couldn't imagine how many points he would lose in this way. The offense couldn't work, and the Lakers' defense had a big problem.

The Lakers' current roster is full of holes, including Kobe Bryant.Last season, Bryant was often beaten in one step, missed, and there was not much pressure on Bryant's offensive players, just a pick-and-roll or an acceleration.

Kobe is 35 years old, and his defensive awareness is still there.Because he can't keep up with opponents who are too physically strong, and his physical strength is not as good as before, he must rationally distribute his physical strength on the offensive end. If he defends seriously, how can he get the strength to shoot [-] or [-] times a game?

Looking at the Clippers, Chandler is a veteran at 31 years old, and most of them are young players who can't run to death.

After the suspension, Yang Rui didn't talk about tactics or make substitutions. He praised the players and asked them to drink water and wipe off their sweat before returning to the court.

Brown adjusted the lineup, replaced Nick Young and Williams, and replaced Danny Granger and Earl Clark.

Clark and Williams have similar styles and are very soft. They mainly rely on mid-range shots to score, and basically can't grab rebounds. They are 208cm tall and weigh only 102kg.The reason he's on the court is simply because he's a little bit more accurate.

Granger is the boss of the original Pacers, and now he can only be a backup in the Lakers.

Pacers manager Larry Bird saw Granger's state decline year after year, and he swept him out with an amnesty clause in the summer, which must be said to be a failure.

Granger is not very useful, but he has a special status.Seeing that the team boss of the year was ruthlessly cleaned up, everyone in the Pacers was worried about their future and prepared to brush data in the new season in order to get a good contract in the future.The results of fighting each other will naturally lead to contradictions and will eventually fall apart.

Brown made Granger a pitcher and wanted Nick Young to score off the bench and increase the second unit's offense.

Nick Young is nicknamed the "Single King". When he joined the Lakers, many Lakers fans worried that he was too alone and could not work well with Kobe.Someone left a message online saying, "Nick Young, please bring your own basketball?"

This netizen is really on the point. If you don't bring your own basketball, Nick Young and Kobe will start together, and you won't be able to touch the basketball a few times.

This player, known as "very poisonous", averaged only 10 shots per game in the peak 11-14.6 season. So far, Nick Young has only averaged more than 10 shots per game in two seasons in his career, and the ball possession rate has never been higher. 15%, he just has a little less assists, and he was deducted such a big shit pot on his head, which is also considered a weird one.

The game continued, Kobe and Gasol played a pick-and-roll, took two steps from the left and were double-teamed. He distributed the ball to the middle, and Green made up the defense in place to block Gasol.

Gasol moved the ball to the right 70 degrees, and Granger got an open three-pointer, but he just played, his body was cold, he didn’t grasp the strength of his shot well, the bullet came out, and Griffin easily grabbed it. Under the backcourt rebounds.

When Howard was there, people always said that he was overrated. This is not good, that is not good. Now that Howard is gone, only Gasol is left to grab the offensive rebounds of the Lakers.

Curry slowly brought it to the frontcourt. Middleton relied on Griffin's off-ball cover to get rid of Kobe, and received a pass from Curry on the right. This time Gasol switched defenses more timely.

Middleton dribbled a step and passed the ball to Griffin, who was cutting, and Bryant didn't get stuck.Griffin took three steps with the ball, Clark didn't dare to make up defense, and was afraid of being the background.

Griffin jumped high, his head was almost flat, his legs were raised, and he smashed the ball with one hand!

In only 3 minutes and 44 seconds of the opening, the Clippers played a wave of 18 to 0. This is the opener of the national broadcast, and the Lakers are going to be miserable.
