The strongest basket king

Chapter 11
On December 12, the Lakers will play against the Clippers again in the preseason.

Xiang Chu's performance in the first game was neither good nor bad. The team's inspection of him has actually been completed. There are only three players on the team who can play center forward. It is impossible for Odom to play a purely small lineup without them. He will definitely play in the new season. Have the opportunity.

It's just that he is not satisfied, what he needs is not just a chance to show his face.

The team's most urgent need now is the back line. The first position is not strong enough, and Kobe has no substitute. In addition, who can fill the third position after Artest is replaced. Barnes is not qualified for the first game.

In this game, the team changed three starters. The first position became Fisher, the second position Kapono, and the third position Devin Ebanks.

The other two positions are dissatisfied, and there is no need to investigate Kobe's side.

Kobe will be the boss of the Lakers no matter how he performs. Mike Brown also understands that he is not a puppet coach. When he was in the Cavaliers, he was always ridiculed. The outside world believed that he had no control over the team. .

The team has team considerations and will not allow Kobe to take revenge desperately in the preseason. The external statement must be that Kobe is injured.

Kobe didn't play, and the Lakers still scored first in the start.

Fisher looks old and slow, but he has experience with a big heart and the ability to control the rhythm is still there.

However, the Clippers' offense is also impressive. As a veteran All-Star, Gasol has nothing to do with Griffin.

Xiang Chu got the chance to play earlier today. When Bynum went down to rest, he was replaced by the coach to continue to maintain the height of the court.

At this time Gasol was still on the court, and Xiang Chu knew very well what he had to do, which was to grab rebounds desperately.

His goal is very clear, no matter who is facing him, he must maintain a rebounding advantage.

Needless to say, Evans, so what if Griffin can dance. Little Jordan is black and hard, but Xiang Chu is more flexible and handsome.

Going all out, just rushing to the basket, Xiang Chu went up and got consecutive rebounds, and even grabbed an offensive board and passed it to Steve Blake on the outside, helping the team enter the second quarter with a lead.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers used Artest to play with the ball. He also hit one at the beginning, but obviously this is not something he is good at. The Lakers also quickly replaced the twin towers to cooperate with him.

Xiang Chu can compete with the Clippers for rebounds, but he can't score. Defense is also a problem. Not only Griffin can't handle it, but Jordan is also difficult to defend. He fouled twice within a few minutes .

However, he is not the only one who commits many fouls. The same is true for Jordan. When Bynum comes on the court, he will directly show off his power. Bynum.

Relying on Bynum's advantage, the Lakers maintained the lead until the end of halftime.

It can only be maintained. This is still Xiang Chu's lead when he is on the court. Kobe doesn't play. The Lakers' strongest outside ball-handling point is actually Artest. It's hard to watch. There are pitchers, but Bynum obviously doesn't An inside man with passing vision.

Returning to the locker room at halftime, Mike Brown was in a good mood. If Kobe took a break and he could lead the team to revenge the Clippers, the outside world would have to admit his coaching ability.

He also talked about a bunch of tactics, but without Kobe, it was basically all kinds of handing the ball inside, which is much easier to understand.

The team has a dedicated nutritionist who prepares food to replenish energy for the teammates. The service is much better than that of the college team. Xiang Chu also ate some and planned to work harder in the second half.

Although he didn't play much, but when he went up, he was fighting with the black and hard fire of the inside line, which consumed a lot.

Then, what he didn't expect was that the Lakers' third army began to collapse again.

Did the lake collapse three times? When did the team contract this problem.

Mike Brown's face was as dark as night. If it weren't for the real skill of the Lakers outside, he almost thought the players were playing him.

No, the Twin Towers of the Lakers are the insiders of the championship. Why can't even handle Griffin, who has only played for one season.

The Clippers Twin Towers performed very well in the third quarter, helping the team to overtake the score.

Barnes, who started the second half, quickly clashed with Griffin, and the two sides almost fought.

The difference in treatment, Griffin was pushed off the Clippers and a bunch of people rushed over to beat him up. His teammates who were pushed in front of him were not so active.

It is necessary to quickly improve the status of the team. Xiang Chu feels that he still needs a little pressure, and cannot slack off just because the team has few centers.

After Xiang Chu was put on the field again, the team had already dropped more than a dozen points. Bynum was strong in the second quarter, but completely languished in the third quarter. Obviously, his physical strength could not keep up.

Xiang Chu doesn't have much scoring ability, but he rebounds really well. Artest holds the ball on the bench, and the other three are shooters.

They also don't have as many offensive routines as the main lineup, Xiang Chu desperately grabs rebounds, and others shoot outside, but under such circumstances, the Lakers slowly catch up to the score.

Among them is the reason why the Clippers' bench lineup is weak in scoring, but Xiang Chu's role cannot be ignored.

In this case, not only Mike Brown, but also the full audience in the stadium noticed Xiang Chu.

This rookie is not bad, he seems to be better than Bynum when he first entered the league. It would be perfect if he had better scoring methods.

But he was quickly replaced, and he couldn't guard Griffin.

And Mike Brown still hopes that the Twin Towers can suppress each other like they did in the second quarter and bring the team victory.

However, Bynum and Gasol did not do this, and Griffin scored 7 points to kill the game at the critical moment.

They didn't lose much, but they lost to the Clippers in the same city in a row. In Los Angeles, where the media is well-developed, they are destined to be criticized.

Xiang Chu really wanted to post on social media to show that the team always won when he was on the court.

However, he also knows how to measure, saying that other teams are fine, and it is a taboo to question the team.

He grabbed 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, but also fouled 4 times.

He didn't score, it's not that he couldn't score, but he didn't have time to look for opportunities. The rookie basically didn't pass the ball inside, and he grabbed three offensive rebounds and passed them out immediately for the team's offensive efficiency.

If he can be given more time, not to mention the main treatment, as long as there are 10 minutes, he can definitely score points and hand over beautiful statistics.

Only work harder, as long as the strength continues to improve, the team will always be important to him.

"I am improving every game, who dares to say that I am a clown."

After sending it out, he edited another one, "Those who are blind, have the ability to fight against real people. Have you ever seen a fist that is as big as a casserole pot?"

As long as you have a clear conscience, you are not afraid of failure and practice more.
