Chapter 656 [The Real Los Angeles Derby]
The second game, the Clippers VS Lakers, was broadcast live on Los Angeles Sports, ESPN, CCTV5 and many other TV stations.
This was just a preseason game, but the Staples Arena was full, and the media bombed it five days in advance, calling it the "real Los Angeles Derby"!
Yes, it wasn't called a derby before, and the Clippers were always the one to be beaten.After Yang Rui joined the Lakers, the Clippers were slaughtered by the Lakers too many times. If it wasn't for a big win, fans would feel abnormal.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling brought his young girlfriend to watch, and the cameraman gave a close-up, and he was immediately booed by the audience.Whether Lakers fans or Clippers fans, hating Sterling is very consistent.
The media also hates Sterling. The Houston News publicly said that Yang Rui’s joining the Clippers was unpleasant and made Sterling a villain. The Los Angeles Times also believed that Yang Rui made a disappointing choice.
News, whether positive or negative, is more and more popular.Sterling has never been afraid of being scolded. He was so happy this year. After the economic crisis and the subprime mortgage crisis, he once again reached the pinnacle of his life.
When Yang Rui was arranging tactics, he announced a lineup adjustment. Tony Allen replaced Korver as the starter, and other positions remained unchanged.
"Mixed defense in the first quarter, Tony entangled Kobe on the perimeter, making it difficult for him to catch the ball. If he wants to make a shot, he must shoot against someone. If Kobe holds the ball to break through or find a screen, the flanks and the bottom line must be double-teamed in time, and Luol Deng, Evans, Odom shoot, it doesn't matter if they're open."
Yang Rui understands Kobe's character. He definitely wants to score high today and hit Yang Rui's face with his outstanding performance. On this day, Kobe has been waiting for a whole year, and he will definitely not pass the ball.
When Yang Rui said that he looked down on the Lakers, Kobe was about to explode. He felt that he looked down on the current Lakers, but he looked down on him.
Kobe was like a man who bravely broke through the enemy and showed his heroic qualities, just like Ma Yongzhen who was going to seek revenge for Bradley. This kind of bravery is destined to be used by opponents.
Although Kobe would not be smashed with lime, chopped with axe, kicked downstairs, and finally stabbed in the chest by Yang Rui's younger brothers to tragically die on the street, but he had no chance of getting a high score today.
Tony Allen is the real Kobe finisher, not just blowing it.
Players such as Bruce Bowen, Sean Battier, and Doug Christie who are the so-called best at defending Kobe only caused him a little trouble, and the single defense was generally overwhelmed.
There is only one player that Kobe Bryant really admits and has the most headaches for, and that is Tony Allen.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the most high-profile confrontation between the two was the 2010 NBA Finals. Kobe was very badly defended by Tony Allen, with a 40.5% hit rate; the most famous in this life is the 2008 Finals, Kobe Bryant 40.4% hit rate.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Tony Allen was recognized as a top perimeter defensive player and was selected to the best defensive team for many times.Kobe Bryant's respect for him is also evident.Kobe even gave him a pair of his own signed sneakers that read: "To Tony, the best defensive player I've ever seen in my career!"
Now, Yang Rui not only arranged for Tony Allen to entangle Kobe with single defense, but also arranged for Gay to assist in double-team defense, and Jordan to make up defense on the bottom line. Anyone who encounters this kind of targeted defense will feel uncomfortable. Kobe attracted double-teams to score the ball. Teammates are the best choice.So the question is, will Kobe pass today?
After the warm-up, the game started.
Lakers starting: Tyreke Evans, Kobe, Luol Deng, Lamar Odom, Love.
Looking at the lineup, the Lakers are really good. They start with five powerful attack points, and their rebounding control ability is also top-notch in the league. No one averaged less than 5 grabs per game last season.If the overall strength of the team is the superposition of the players' data from last season, it is only the starter, and the Lakers can contribute close to 100 points. With the addition of the bench, the average of 130 points per game is effortless.
However, the Lakers' offense was Evans dribbling a pass in half court, the four opened, and Bryant singled out.
In the face-to-face attack, Kobe couldn't get rid of Tony Allen. He swayed back and forth and finally made a jumper.
At the beginning, Bryant made strong shots in a row, and when he turned to the right to shoot back, he was blocked by Guy from behind. After 6 minutes, he made 7 of 1 shots.
Because Gay stayed with the Cavaliers for four years, his evaluation was very low, and he was dubbed "CBA teammate" by Chinese fans.Many fans underestimate Gay's defense. His physical fitness is so strong, and the defense can be above the standard no matter how bad it is.
Guy wears shoes with a height of 203cm, an arms span of 221cm, a weight of 104kg, a body fat rate of 5.7%, a height of 273cm on the spot, a jump of 84cm on the spot, a maximum run-up jump of 103cm, a bench press of 84kg for 9 times, and a round-trip run in the penalty area for 11.03 seconds. The three-quarter sprint is 3.32 seconds.By comparison, it will be found that Gay's physical condition can explode the future Spurs core Kawhi Leonard.
Of course, low evaluation is a common problem with James as teammates. They say that they have no personal attack ability and their defense is too bad. The implication is that the team can only rely on James to do it alone, and James is the best B.
In Yang Rui's previous life, there were only a very few people who could break free from James' CBA magnetic field and play their true self. Wade was one of them, and Irving was half of them, because Irving was only sometimes strong and unstable.
After this season, the "mountain eagle" Bosh will be renamed "Bo Yiban"; Mike Miller, who peaked at 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists, will be transformed into a burden on the team.
The No. [-] ball tyrant in the East is James, and it is really difficult to be teammates with Kobe in the West.
The most suitable teammates for Kobe are the insiders with range and ability to organize and those who can rush offensive rebounds. It is difficult for outside players to play a role around Kobe, and they can only be fixed-point shooters.
In Yang Rui's previous life, when Kobe was the boss, the best perimeter player was Caron Butler, who averaged 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The premise is that Kobe only played 66 games due to injury that season, and all other perimeter points scored in double figures. Disaster.
Both Luol Deng and Evans can't make three-pointers. The Clippers players can shrink to the penalty area after pulling away. Once Kobe attracts a double team to separate the ball, they don't make a shot or dare not make a shot, and they are waiting for the fans. Spray it.
Evans is a guard who has to play with the ball and can't play.
Luol Deng is more comprehensive and can play without the ball, but he hardly shoots three-pointers in the 76ers. Last season, his three-point attempts and hits were at the peak of his career. He averaged 1.2 shots and 0.5 goals per game. 32 hits and a 38.6% hit rate.
Therefore, the two new aids showed their super adaptability. Once they arrived at the Lakers, they completed the change of style, from second-rate stars to "CBA teammates", which could not give Kobe enough support.
Among the Lakers starters, the best three-pointer is Love. His task in the system is to pull out of the three-point line and use the side as a fort, which is the job of Rasheed Wallace at the beginning. High scores are hard.
Kobe Bryant is not easy to get rid of Tony Allen in the long distance, he will be double-teamed when he goes inside, the ball will go out, and his teammates will not be able to make a shot.
Lamar Odom's status in the team has improved. He is doing the work of Yao Ming in the past, covering, opening shots, waiting for opportunities to cut, and supporting inside.But his offensive ability is average, and his role is definitely not as good as Yao Ming.
In the second half, Bryant increased the number of passes, and his teammates took turns to strike iron, and the offense was weak.
The Clippers had just been rebuilt and their defensive system was not yet perfect. They relied on Paul and Griffin to attack, and the other three defended against the Lakers with poor chemistry, leading 22-18 in the first quarter.
