Chapter 363 The Four Heavenly Kings
Today's Staples Center is the home of the Clippers with the Clippers logo on it. After all, last year's Western Conference champion was the Clippers, but this is already the only achievement that the Clippers can achieve. The Lakers on the opposite side are already the winners of 16 championships.The one-year rise of the Clippers hasn't shaken the Lakers' dominance in Los Angeles too much.So today's arena also confirms a sentence that has been written to the Clippers before, home is like an away game, and an away game is like a graveyard.In the Staples Center, which is the home of the Clippers today, there are more fans wearing Lakers jerseys.

This year's Clippers made a lot of deals and signed a lot of newcomers. For this Clippers, their management did a good job this summer, leaving aside the locker room bomb Blake Griffin, who also got With the talented Anthony Davis, he strengthened the weakest part of the team's defense.I got a lot of players full of potential. For the Clippers' operations this summer, many media have given A- or A remember the evaluation.

It's just that for this year's Lakers, all of this is nothing. First of all, the Suns and the Lakers have reached a sign-and-trade deal. The Lakers got Steve Nash, and the Suns got Steve Nash. Two first-round picks (2013 and 2015), two second-round picks (2013 and 2014), a trade exception worth $890 million, and $300 million in cash.

This has almost no immediate comeback for the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant is also partnered with one of his favorite point guard players. Of course, the point guard he most hopes is now in the Clippers.

Although they lost Andrew Bynum, the No. 04 center in the Western Conference, they got the No. 05 center in the league, Dwight Howard. After that, the Four Heavenly Kings again.

Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard, this quartet is strong, the addition of Antawn Jamison and the addition of Jody Meeks also greatly complement the team. Strengthening the Lakers' bench lineup, they became the team with the lowest odds in the West after this summer.

However, you must not think that the Clippers are the team with the second odds. The Thunder, which replaced James Harden with Kevin Martin, are also on top of the Clippers. It seems that Spinach The company does not very much approve of the Clippers team's trade and coaching change.

The game has just started, and the Lakers' four kings have shown why they are the four kings, while the Clippers and the Heat can only be counted as the Big Three at best.Kobe Bryant was still alive, and he used two different moves directly at the free throw line to shake off Anson, the best defensive player of last season, and made a successful mid-range shot.

At the Clippers' home court, there was a call for the MVP who remembered Kobe Bryant, which was a very embarrassing thing for the Clippers.And these voices also activated the two new players who just came to the team.

Steve Nash and Dwight Howard have continuously played wonderful cooperation in the high position. The cooperation between the point guard and the center is better. Although people are talented on the defensive end, they are very famous. Their tacit understanding is not enough, and they are always very unclear about who will defend and who will guard the inside.

Three consecutive dunks, which made the Clippers, who were confident that they could build the best defensive system this season, first began to collapse internally. Indeed, for this Clippers, Anthony Davis should have let them The defense becomes more effective and resolute.

Defensive failure, continued defensive failure, after several consecutive defensive failures, the Clippers' defensive system began to become shaken, Steve Nash rested, and the last king of heaven also stood up at this time.

Pau Gasol, he pulled Anthony Davis directly near the free throw line in the high post for a one-on-one, and soon, Pau Gasol taught the young No. 19 pick a lesson.The continuous shaking made Anthony Davis start to hesitate in defense. He leaned against him and squeezed a step. Paul Gasol's physical advantage was reflected. The [-]-year-old Anthony Davis Far from being at the peak of his body, he could no longer keep up with Pau Gasol's rhythm when he was pushed away by one step.

A small hook throw, with a soft touch, directly throws into the frame, 17:8, the four kings of the Lakers gave the Clippers a huge blow at the beginning, everyone showed their power, everyone was powerful, for the Lakers For fans, the formation of the four kings is exciting, and what is even more exciting is seeing the four kings play on the court, which greatly increases their chances of winning the championship.

"Dwight plays very comfortably. He is a better player than Andrew. He has better containment power, speed, defensive area, and mobility in the interior." Shaquille O'Neal on Dwight Howard is very optimistic. He was also selected by the Magic as the No. [-] pick with extraordinary talent. He also traveled to the West after the second contract. He hopes that the latter can continue his legend and lead the Lakers to continue their original three consecutive games. The legend of the crown.

Surprisingly, this time Charles Barkley did not refute Shaquille O'Neal, but frowned and said: "Forget about defense, for the personal abilities of the four kings like the Lakers, I didn't take precautions at the beginning. There is also the inexperienced Anthony. Even with Ann, it is very dark to do everything. The focus is on offense. The Clippers’ offense is completely gone. , What exactly is the Clippers thinking?"

Indeed, as Charles Barkley said, the Clippers' offense has more passes, and more offensive opportunities have appeared in the hands of others, and Anthony Davis has the most , but he only handed in 5 of 1 shots. It can be said that the Clippers want to train him, but it must be said that the Clippers have a big heart when training at such important moments as the opener and the derby?
The 19-year-old's erratic performance on both ends of the offense and defense was a huge pressure. After another missed shot, Brad Stevens called their first timeout.
