Chapter 656 [Failed to Take Revenge, but Was Harmed Instead]

Kobe made 3 of 11 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 8 points, 2 rebounds, and no assists.

This is called "If you fail to take revenge, you will be harmed by others." Fans online commented that Kobe was too alone. This was only the first preseason game, and he didn't even think about running in with his new teammates.

In fact, Kobe is taking the blame for the team's lineup this time. If he wants to run in, he has to give up the offensive rights with the ball to Evans. He attracts defense from the outside, waits for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, and switches to playing without the ball. Byrons Kurt didn't arrange it that way.

Yang Rui emphasized the tactics and the substitutes came on.

He mainly asked Curry. "Most of the shots must be outside the three-point line. As long as you are confident, you can hit people and make strong shots."

Even if he plays with Paul and plays as two defenders, Curry has unlimited firing rights. This is an important arrangement for the Clippers. In Yang Rui's previous life, Jamal Crawford was in excellent form during his first two seasons with the Clippers and took more shots than Paul.

As soon as Yang Rui explained the tactics to the team, Paul immediately agreed without any ideological work.

Paul has always been selfless and knows how to play in the best interest of the team. When his teammates can score, he will not rush to take action. He also knows very well that his offensive power is average. He averaged 22.8 points per game at his peak and played 38.5 minutes, which is not very efficient.

Other players didn't raise any objections. This is the benefit of rebuilding the team. Everyone is new, and even veterans can't put on airs.

Moreover, during team training, Curry's three-point accuracy was frightening, and he couldn't make any open shots. Not only is he good at catching and shooting, but he can also ensure his shooting percentage by dribbling the ball and creating a little space to stop for three-pointers and step back for three-pointers.

Curry's defense is terrible, his organizational rhythm is not good, and he is incomparable to later generations of MVPs. But in terms of scoring, the gap between Curry and the "perfect body" is not big now, and his shooting is accurate.

In the first three seasons of the Warriors, Curry did not average 20+ points per game. First, he was paired with Monta Ellis, who took up a lot of the ball. Second, the coach did not arrange for Curry to mainly shoot three-pointers. He often The mid-range scoring efficiency is not high.

Ellis left, the coach was replaced by Mark Jackson, and Curry was asked to shoot more three-pointers, and he immediately became an All-Star.

In the substitute contest, Curry, Korver, Dunleavy, Novak, and Mahinmi quickly defeated the Lakers substitutes.

Curry is 191cm tall. Facing the defense of "Old Fish" Fisher, he scored two three-pointers in a row. He also passed Fisher twice with the ball in counterattacks, attracting defenders and assisting Korver. , Novak hit a three-pointer.

Fisher's situation and status have changed dramatically from Yang Rui's previous life.

In his previous life, although he was often criticized as a defensive black hole, he had five championship rings in his hands. More people praised him, and his role cannot be reflected in the data.

Now, Fisher only won the championship with the Lakers in 2001. After struggling for a few years with the Warriors and Jazz, he could only earn a minimum salary when he returned to the Lakers. His role data can be reflected, that is, he is a defensive black hole. role.

A defender with good dribbling skills and speed can knock Fisher out one-on-one when challenged. At his peak, Fisher was beaten to pieces every time he met Parker, Bibby, Flying Squirrel, and Iverson. Now his speed is only suitable for guarding the No. 2 position. When he was with the Jazz, he often played shooting guard.

Yang Rui told Curry to use the preseason to find his touch, not to be afraid of hitting the iron, and it didn't matter no matter how many shots he missed, Curry completely let go.

The Lakers replaced Fisher and replaced Brooks, who is only 180cm tall and still can't guard Curry's pull-up jumper.

In a single quarter, Curry made 6 three-pointers, a layup, scored 20 points, and sent 4 assists.

Novak also hit three three-pointers, Dunleavy one and Neal one. The Clippers made 11 three-pointers in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 24 points, and defeated the Lakers at halftime.

In the Clippers' fixed-point three-point game, Curry can't beat Novak. It's just that the big white man's role is too single and his defense is poor, so he can't be reused.

During halftime, radio commentators commented on the game;

They all used the word "incredible" to describe it.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "The Clippers are incredibly strong and the Lakers are incredibly weak. I don't think anyone expected this kind of game before the game."

Zhang Lili said: "The Lakers' offense is okay, but their defense is too bad, especially the defense of the substitutes is useless. The Clippers can play whatever they want, and the players can shoot at will."

The Clippers maintained their advantage in the second half and eventually won 117-90. While winning two games in a row, the Lakers got off to a bad start in the preseason.

Curry played only 20 minutes in total, making 11 of 18 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 31 points and 5 assists.

The other three Yang Ruiqin highlighted were Guy with 18 points, Griffin with 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Paul with 15 points and 12 assists.

Kobe made 6 of 24 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He only had 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Evans made 4 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and only had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Luol Deng had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and his performance was quite satisfactory.

Love had a double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds. It looked good, but the defense was actually very poor. He moves slowly as a power forward and is too short as a center. The Clippers shoot more three-pointers, which is directly related to his slowness in switching pick-and-rolls.

At this moment, Lakers fans have an ominous premonition. Before the regular season even started, the fans began to criticize Evans and Love on the Internet, saying that they were data brushers who did not defend.

During the summer trade, some top players thought that one of these two players would have a better future than Yao Ming. The reason was that Yao Ming was 30 years old and his condition would soon decline.

After the game, the media generally criticized the Lakers' poor defense, and of course they would not be spared in criticizing Kobe.

Barkley said: "I think everyone can see the real Kobe this season. Without Yao Ming, he may not be able to lead the Lakers past the first round of the playoffs."

Jeff Van Gundy said: "Yang Rui should be the person who knows the Lakers best. After sending away Yao Ming in the summer, he looked down on the Lakers and said that the Lakers were not a threat. This has been proven by reality. "

Lou Williams was resurrected with the 76ers. He scored 30 points and 4 assists in the first preseason game and made 5 of 9 three-pointers. He directly criticized Kobe Bryant in an interview.

"Evans was the Rookie of the Year last season, averaging 20+5+5 per game. People even compared him to LeBron James. Very few rookies can do that. But I'm sure he will be the best player in the Lakers." The data will definitely become very bad, and he will be said to be a parallel import, although the person who is really good in the Lakers is not him."

The reporter asked: "Are you saying Kobe is a cancer?"

"I didn't say that, but a real leader should be the person who can lead the team to win, not the person with the best statistics. If Kobe can lead the Lakers to another Western Conference finals, then he will be an amazing star."

Lu Wei didn't even talk about the championship. In his opinion, it would be great for the Lakers to reach the Western Conference Finals again. He had been with Kobe for several years, had enough, and had no face at all.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the person who had the biggest objection to Kobe was point guard Smush Parker, and now he has become Lou Williams. Kobe's style of play can be called a "point guard terminator", and Mo Williams' statistics for the Lakers were average. He played well in the finals because he didn't pass the ball to Kobe.

Yang Rui did not comment on Kobe. He thought there was nothing to say. As long as people are not blind, people will know what kind of person Kobe is in the future. Evans joining is just the beginning.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Ramon Sessions would rather cut his salary and join the Bobcats, a bad team, than accept a contract with the Lakers; Nash immediately lost his guarantee in the late season after arriving in Los Angeles, becoming a fixed-point shooter and a defensive black hole; Russell even more implicitly pointed out that Kobe Bryant influenced his growth...

Yang Rui doesn't know what the Lakers' lineup will look like in the future, but Evans and Love will definitely not be able to escape the title of brush.
