Chapter 193 Tactical Transfer
In the second quarter, in the 4th minute, the Zen master changed players. He replaced Wu Di to lead Pekovic, Brad Miller, Sun Yue and Farmar.

Last season was basically based on six or six points, but today there are four or eight points.It seems that Zen Master's tactics have changed and are shifting to Wu Di.

This may also have the meaning of management. Kobe is 32 years old, and his peak period is only a few years away.The Lakers need to train someone to take over Kobe’s class. Although Wu Di is only eight years younger than Kobe, his physical fitness is better than Kobe’s, and he still has no major injuries. Maybe he can outperform Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his career. long.

This has something to do with Wu Di's identity as a Chinese. Jabbar is Bruce Lee's apprentice and learned martial arts from Bruce Lee.It is precisely because of his martial arts skills that Kareem has played for 20 years, and he has been an All-Star almost every year. Before retiring, his scoring ability has dropped significantly in the last two years.

With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's lessons learned, it is normal for the Lakers to want to vigorously train Wu Di.And after a few years of Kobe's decline, Wu Di is in his prime, and he can just take over Kobe's class, which kills two birds with one stone.

In order to defend the title this year, the Lakers must also protect Kobe and others. Let Wu Di, who is not injured, play a few more minutes to avoid injuries to Kobe and others. After entering the playoffs, they will try their best to hit the championship.

Faced with such a situation, Wu Di is still very happy. He only played 33 minutes last season, which seems to be a lot, but Wu Di plays more of a defensive player, and only the second player can really play freely. festival time.

Therefore, Wu Di attaches great importance to the second quarter, and he will definitely be able to perform well in the second quarter.

Today's game is no exception, Wu Di has the ball as soon as he comes on the court.Because Sun Yue can play positions one to three, Wu Di's position on the court is not fixed, and he will exchange positions with Sun Yue at any time.When playing inside, use speed, and when playing outside, use strength. It is difficult for the Clippers to limit him.

Opposing Wu Di is Butler, a 201cm swingman who was a member of the Hornets last season.Under the leadership of Paul, he played the highest scoring average of his career, 11.2 points per game.

He is a role player at most, and he was able to start in the Clippers entirely because of the lack of people at the third position of the Clippers. There are only a few good threes in the NBA, and each of them is the treasure of the team. If the Clippers can't sign a good three, they can only sign Butler.

Facing Wu Di, Butler quickly became invisible on both offense and defense.Wu Di made sudden shots and scored 3 points in 10 minutes, so Clippers coach Doc Cliffs had to replace him with striker swingman Craig Smith.

Although Craig Smith is only 201cm, his technical characteristics are more inclined to the inside line, coupled with his excellent physical fitness, he generally does not have much problem with small forwards.

Doc Cliffs didn't hold out much hope for Craig Smith either.He also knows how strong Wu Di is. He doesn't think that Craig Smith can defend Wu Di. He only hopes that Craig Smith can limit Wu Di and lose less points.

Craig Smith's defensive ability surpasses Butler's. He is fast and can keep up with Wu Di's breakthrough, but facing Wu Di's shooting, he is helpless.

Fortunately, Wu Di didn't feel very good today, and his three-point shooting rate was only about 40%.

40% hit rate is not low, but this hit rate is really not very high for Wu Di.You must know that Wu Di's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 42.3% last season, which means that Wu Di's shooting percentage in this game has not yet reached the average, indicating that Wu Di's touch is not very good.

Wu Di reduced his three-point shots and began to attack the inside frequently.Although Craig Smith was able to keep up with his speed, Wu Di still squeezed him away with strength. The Clippers' inside line rushed to double-team, and Wu Di would definitely choose to pass the ball.

The closer to the basket, the higher Wu Di's shooting rate, even with Craig Smith interfering, Wu Di can easily hit.

The Lakers scored more points in the second quarter than in the first quarter, leading the Clippers by 72 points at 57:15 at halftime.

When the fans saw the score, they felt relieved a lot.Because this is the rhythm of the Lakers' game, the time to really decide the outcome is in the second quarter.Other teams basically have to withstand the Lakers' mad attack in the second quarter if they want to win. If they can't withstand it, they will fall behind by a big score, and it will be difficult to turn around.

The Clippers failed to withstand the Lakers' offensive in the second quarter, and they were preparing to take the lead in the third or fourth quarter.Unfortunately, they were beaten by the Lakers at the beginning of the third quarter.

The Lakers played the main force in the third quarter and replaced Fisher with Ariza.It is not only Fisher who can organize the team's offense for the Lakers. Both Kobe and Wu Di can take on this task, and even Gasol can also act as an organizer.

So even without Fisher, the Lakers wouldn't be in a mess.

And with Ariza's defense, Davis' strong attack has some difficulties. Losing the strongest offensive point, the Clippers seem to be unable to attack. They didn't score in 3 minutes and were defeated by the Lakers 8:0. With the attack wave, the point difference was widened to more than 20 points in an instant.

The Lakers were very happy to win the Clippers without bloodshed.In this game, the Big Three all showed a good competitive state. Kobe had 22 points and 6 assists, Wu Di had 24 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, and Pau Gasol had 18 points and 6 rebounds.

Bynum had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Pekovic had 12 points, Sun Yue had 11 points, Brad Miller had 10 points, and the seven Lakers scored in double figures, still performing so strongly.

In the evening, Kobe took the lead in inviting all the players to the nightclub to celebrate and get the championship ring.

As a result, several people got drunk and didn't wake up for several days.Three days later, the game against the Mavericks was all supported by the Big Three, and they lost to the Mavericks in the end.

In this game, the Big Three scored 86 points in total, but the role players were not strong enough. The Lakers lost the game by 4 points.

However, many people have discovered that the Lakers' tactics are really biased towards Wu Di.From the data, we know that in the game against the Mavericks, Kobe scored 29 points and 5 assists, but Wu Di scored 33 points and 11 assists, which is more than Kobe in terms of points and assists.

During the game, Kobe's time holding the ball was also significantly reduced. Most of the time it was Wu Di holding the ball to organize the offense.These phenomena all show that Wu Di's tactical status is improving, and it is still obvious.

Many people are speculating whether this is the meaning of the Lakers management, or the meaning of Zen Master himself.We must know that Kobe is still in his peak period, he lost the ball, can he be satisfied?Some people seem to have seen the precursors of the Lakers' civil unrest.
