Chapter 674 [Turn the tide!Los Angeles Derby! 】

The Clippers and the Lakers are in direct competition. Yang Rui can't say anything good about Kobe. He has hit the Lakers' star, and it's easier to attract fans to the Clippers.

He commented that Nash was going to the Lakers to average ten rebounds per game. It was on the news. It was too dark and caused Comey's disgust.

It is a pity that the number of Yang Mi is far more than that of Comey, and the number of Kehei is even more astonishing. The result of Comey scolding Yang Rui and supporting Kobe on the Internet was ridiculed by the group.

The next five games of the Lakers also proved Yang Rui's evaluation to be right.Will Nash's joining the Lakers have a qualitative change?No, their backline is still blown out.

The opponents are not strong, and the Lakers have only achieved a record of 3 wins and 2 losses.The three wins won't depend on Nash's assists, but Kobe Bryant's personal ability to turn the tide.

Nash is one of the best point guards in the league. He is good at running and shooting games and playing whirlwinds.The Lakers mainly attack from half court positions, not to mention Love and veteran Lamar Odom, even Luol Deng can't run fast.

Luol Deng's running and jumping qualities are average, characterized by comprehensiveness, and he is often more like a dark-skinned Larry Bird.

In Nash's Sun era, offensive players who cut in after the pick-and-roll could play wonderful games, but were ineffective when paired with O'Neal, who was good at positional warfare.

Although Love and Odom have the ability to shoot with one hand, the former moves too slowly, and the lack of explosiveness in singles under the basket makes it inefficient to cut in after pick-and-roll.

The encounter between two different styles made Nash's assist efficiency in these games extremely low, averaging only 8 per game.

The same problem also appeared in Nash and Bryant. Bryant has always been a ball-handling player. He likes to dribble to the post and turn and make a jumper.

Nash's previous No. [-] partners were almost always fixed-point three-pointers, allowing Kobe Bryant to stand outside the three-point line and wait for a chance. How is this possible?

After more than a week of publicity, when the derby began, Lakers fans had lost confidence in the home team.If the offense and defense can't be balanced, it doesn't matter how many stars there are.

Compared with the lineup, the Clippers actually have more stars, but they have not reached the peak of their careers, and there is no pressure on the Lakers to finish the explosion.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Paul joined the Clippers until he left. Although he did not lead the team to get the best record in the regular season, he has been able to maintain the top four and has twice been third.

No matter what year the Clippers had in their previous life, they couldn’t compare to the Clippers this season. Unless Paul was a super tumor, how could the Clippers lose to the Lakers without Big Gasol?The current Lakers do not even have an inside axis.

The game is broadcast live in the United States, and the war starts on time.

Clippers starting: Paul, Tony Allen, Korver, Gay, Griffin.

Yang Rui adjusted the lineup, Tony Allen will be reused in games with super scorers. Kobe is currently averaging 28.2 points per game and has the opportunity to compete for the scoring title.

Jordan sits on the bench, and Gay's approach of starting at No. 4 is eye-catching. Yang Rui arranged this because Lamar Odom and Love rarely attack the basket. Their main task is to cover and wait for opportunities to shoot on the perimeter. .

Yang Rui used small ball tactics to attack at the beginning, just to test Kobe, to see if he is the strongest point of defense on the outside of the Clippers, or to pass the ball to the inside teammates. Griffin and Gay have obvious weaknesses in the frame protection near the penalty area.

In addition, Yang Rui wants to exercise Griffin's defense and train with the game.

In the regular season, intentionally attracting opponents to attack Griffin is fueled by unraveling.If it doesn't go well, Griffin may be attacked by opponents and lose confidence.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Griffin has improved every season. In 16, the defensive end has undergone qualitative changes. Not only is he highly motivated in defense, but he can also help his teammates in defense.

Now Yang Rui needs Griffin to become stronger, instead of being complacent with star data in the regular season, his goal this season is the championship.

If you encounter the Mavericks in the playoffs, it is a matter of which side is more aggressive, and Griffin must also play a role on the defensive end.

The Mavericks, whose center is Tyson Chandler, are actually relatively easy to deal with. The Mavericks, with Pau Gasol as the center, can fully open the positional battle, especially testing the player's one-on-one defense ability.

Lakers starting: Nash, Kobe, Luol Deng, Lamar Odom, Love.

Just looking at the card lineup, the five Lakers are all-stars or second-rate stars. This is the reason why they are optimistic, and it is also the reason why Kobe's evaluation has dropped again and again. The reason why his teammates are not good enough is completely untenable.

Griffin won the jump ball, and the Clippers took the lead. Although his arms were short, he was relying on the bounce, and the jump ball was not vegetarian.

Paul held the ball and faced Nash from beyond the three-point line. The Clippers pulled away, and Griffin went to the middle to cover.

Paul and Griffin played pick-and-roll in the middle. Simple tactics had a big effect. Paul attracted the inside to switch to defend the ball.

Byron Scott is known as the coach who knows Paul best. He was at his peak with the Hornets, and many people take it all to his credit.He set up the zone defense, knowing that man-to-man would be hard to limit Paul.

Paul is the kind of guard who likes to dislocate offense. If man-to-man, he will play a rhythm he likes. In zone defense, Paul is easily trapped in double-teaming.That's how the Hornets were beaten by other teams.

Scott ignored one thing, that is, when the Hornets were short of flanking singles players, they needed Paul to attack with the ball. If Paul couldn't shoot, the offense had to be handed over to David West, who was good at mid-range shooting. Others can't, even Stojakovic relies on his height to shoot from the outside, and his ability to hold the ball is average.

Today, the Clippers have no shortage of people who can hold the ball one-on-one.

Paul dodged Nash's burst to the right, attracted Odom to switch, and passed the ball to Gay in the right corner.

Gay played against Love, which is the beauty of a large and four-small lineup, and it is especially easy to create dislocation opportunities.

Love knew that this was his own person, and his teammates didn't turn around, so he had to save for a three-pointer.Gay feinted with the ball, quickly changed direction and made a breakthrough. One step started to pass Love, and he took a 45-degree pull-up jumper without any interference. 2 to 0.

It won't count as Paul's assist because of Guy's dribbling, but it has a lot to do with him.

In 08, some people commented on Paul's assists. Five of them depended on the steady mid-range shot of the Hornets boss West, and five of them depended on the hard alleys of the second child, Chandler. Without them, Paul averaged at most two assists per game. It is God's speech.

In fact, Paul likes to pass the ball that allows his teammates to play singles, which is a manifestation of selflessness. When he holds the ball, he can also attract the opponent's defense focus. Unlike the playmaking center Rondo, the mid-to-long distance can be completely empty.

The Lakers attacked, Nash took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe, and ran to the bottom corner on the right to open.

This is of course not the tactic he used to play in the Suns, but coach Scott arranged for him to do so, and the task is the same as when Fisher and Evans started.

Kobe Bryant played off the ball, waited for opportunities outside the three-point line, or made empty cuts to let Nash and Lamar Odom play pick-and-rolls?The Lakers have tried this style of play, losing both games and proving not to be desirable.

Because of Bryant's erratic 32.3-pointer, he averaged only [-] percent from the field this season.When Kobe played without the ball, he couldn't help but switch to attacking with the ball, playing familiar routines, turning around to shoot, breaking through the baseline, and so on.

Lamar Odom and Love couldn't cut quickly, couldn't fight back, and Nash couldn't run and shoot.

At least, many fans like to watch Kobe singles.
