Chapter 655 [The Real Los Angeles Derby]
The second game, Clippers vs. Lakers, was broadcast live on Los Angeles Sports, ESPN, ccTV5 and other TV stations.
This was just a preseason game, but the Staples Arena was full. The media carried out bombing promotion five days in advance, calling it the "real Los Angeles Derby"!
Yes, it wasn't called a derby before. The Clippers were always the one being beaten. After Yang Rui joined the Lakers, the Clippers were slaughtered by the Lakers too many times to count. If they hadn't won by a big score, fans would have felt abnormal.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling brought his young girlfriend to watch. The cameraman gave a close-up and he was immediately booed by the fans in the audience. Whether Lakers fans or Clippers fans, they all hate Sterling.
The media also hates Sterling. The Houston News publicly stated that Yang Rui joining the Clippers was unpleasant and allowed Sterling to succeed; the Los Angeles Times also believed that Yang Rui made a disappointing choice.
News, no matter whether it is positive or negative, becomes more and more popular with people. Sterling has never been afraid of being scolded. He is so happy this year. After the economic crisis and the subprime mortgage crisis, he has once again reached the peak of his life.
When Yang Rui was arranging tactics, he announced an adjustment to the lineup. Tony Allen replaced Korver as the team leader, and other positions remained unchanged.
"In mixed defense, Tony entangled Kobe on the outside, making it difficult for him to catch the ball. If he wanted to shoot, he had to face people and shoot. If Kobe breaks through with the ball or looks for a cover, the wings and bottom line must double-team in time, letting Luol Deng and Emmanuel E. Vince and Odom shoot, it doesn’t matter if they are open.”
Yang Rui understands Kobe's character. He will definitely want to score high today and slap Yang Rui in the face with his outstanding performance. Kobe has been waiting for this day for a whole year. He will never pass the ball first.
When Yang Rui said he looked down on the Lakers, Kobe was about to explode. He felt that looking down on the current Lakers meant looking down on him.
Kobe is like a common man who bravely rushes into the enemy camp and shows his true qualities as a hero, just like Ma Yongzhen who wants to seek revenge on Bai Riley. This kind of bravery is destined to be exploited by his opponents.
Although Kobe will not be thrown lime by Yang Rui's younger brothers, hacked with axes, kicked from upstairs, and finally die tragically on the street with a knife in his chest, he has no chance of getting a high score today.
Tony Allen is the real Kobe Bryant finisher, not just a boaster.
The so-called players who are best at defending Kobe, such as Bruce Bowen, Sean Battier, and Doug Christie, only caused him a little trouble, and they were usually defeated in single defense.
There is only one player that Kobe truly admits is the biggest headache, and that is Tony Allen.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the most high-profile matchup between the two was the 2010 NBA Finals. Kobe was defended very poorly by Tony Allen, with a 40.5% shooting rate; the most famous one in this life is the 208 Finals. , Kobe shot 4o.4%.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Tony Allen was recognized as a top perimeter defender and was selected to the All-Defensive Team many times. Kobe's respect for him is also evident. Kobe even gave him a pair of his own signed sneakers, which read: "To Tony, the best defensive player I have ever seen in my career!"
Now, Yang Rui not only arranged for Tony Allen to defend Kobe in single defense, but also arranged for Gay to help defend against double teams and Jordan to supplement the defense on the bottom line. Anyone who encounters this kind of targeted defense will feel uncomfortable. Kobe attracts double teams and distributes the ball to Teammates are the best choice. So the question is, will Kobe pass the ball today?
After the warm-up, the game began.
Lakers: Tyreke Evans, Kobe Bryant, Luol Deng, Odom, Love.
Looking at the lineup, the Lakers are really awesome, with five powerful attack points and top rebounding ability in the league. No one averaged less than 5 steals per game last season. If the overall strength of the team is the superposition of the players' data from last season, then the Lakers can contribute close to 100 points. With the addition of substitutes, they can average 130 points per game without any effort.
However, the Lakers' offense was that Evans passed the ball across the half court, the four players opened up, and Kobe singled out.
When attacking in front of the frame, Kobe couldn't get rid of Tony Allen. He swayed back and forth and finally stopped for a jump shot; Kobe dribbled the ball to the low post and hit the back.
They will be double-teamed again, with strong interference from the bottom line and the flanks.
At the beginning, Kobe continued to make strong shots. When he turned to the right and fell back to shoot, Gay blocked the shot from behind. He played 6 minutes and made 1 of 7 shots.
Because Gay stayed with the Cavaliers for four years and received a low evaluation, he was nicknamed "cBa teammate" by Chinese fans. Many fans underestimate Gay's defense. His physical fitness is so strong that no matter how bad his defense is, it is still above the standard.
Guy is 2o3cm tall in shoes, has a wingspan of 221cm, weighs 1o4kg, has a body fat rate of m, can bench press 84kg 9 times, runs back and forth in the penalty area in 11.o3 seconds, and sprints in three-quarters of a field in 3.32 seconds. By comparison, it will be found that Gay's physical condition can surpass the future Spurs core Kawhi Leonard.
Of course, low evaluation is a common problem when teammates with James, saying that they have no personal offensive ability and poor defense. The implication is that the team can only rely on James alone, and James is the best.
In Yang Rui's previous life, there were only a handful of people who could break away from James' CB magnetic field and perform as they should. Wade was one of them, and Irving was half of them, because Irving was only very strong and unstable sometimes.
After the end of this season, "Mountain Eagle" Bosh will be renamed "Bo Yibo"; Mike Miller, who peaked at 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists, will transform into a liability for the team.
The number one ball tyrant in the Eastern Conference is James. It is really difficult for the Western Conference to be teammates with Kobe.
The most suitable teammates for Kobe are insiders with range and organization and insiders who can rush for offensive rebounds. It is difficult for outside players to play their role next to Kobe and can only be fixed-point shooters.
In Yang Rui's previous life, when Kobe was the boss, the best-performing perimeter was Caron Butler, averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. The premise was that Kobe only played 66 games that season due to injury, and all other perimeters scored in double figures. Disaster.
Both Luol Deng and Evans can't make three-pointers. After the distance, the Clippers players can shrink into the penalty area. Once Kobe attracts double-teams and distributes the ball, if they fail to make a shot or dare not make a shot, they are waiting to be beaten by the fans. Squirt.
Evans is a defender who must hold the ball to attack, and he simply doesn't know how to play.
Luol Deng is more comprehensive and can play without the ball, but he almost never shoots three-pointers in the 76ers. Last season, his number of three-point attempts and hits were at the peak of his career, averaging 1.2 shots per game and hitting 0.5 goals. A total of 32 goals were scored, with a shooting rate of 38.6%.
Therefore, the two new players showed strong adaptability. Once they arrived at the Lakers, they completed a change in style. From second-rate stars to "cBa teammates", they could not give Kobe enough support.
The best three-pointer among the Lakers players is Love. His task in the system is to pull out from the three-point line and serve as a turret from the side. This was Rasheed Wallace's job at the time. Hit him like this to score high. Difficulty.
Kobe couldn't get away from Tony Allen in the mid-range and long range. He would be double-teamed when he rushed inside. The ball would be distributed and his teammates would not be able to make a shot.
Odom's status in the team has improved. He does the same job as Yao Ming before, covering, shooting, waiting for opportunities to make air cuts, and providing support inside. But his offensive ability is average and his role is definitely not as good as Yao Ming.
In the second half, Kobe passed more passes, his teammates took turns, and the offense was weak.
The Clippers had just been rebuilt and the defensive system was not yet perfect. They relied on Paul and Griffin to attack, and the other three defenses suppressed the Lakers, who had poor chemistry, leading 22 to 18 at the quarter.
