I really just want to be a role player

Losing is a good thing for the Lakers, at least it can reveal the strength of the Spurs.

Although the GDP combination looks old, it is still an elite force!
The eyes of the Lakers, in addition to the Heat and Thunder, have to fall on the Spurs.

Originally thought that their lineup was aging and had already withdrawn from the championship, but they didn't expect that they could play so well.

At the same time, the Lakers' internal problems were lifted and attention was also paid.

The game will be dominated by the 36-year-old Duncan. How useless the inside line is, I have a bottom line in my heart.

Despite the many problems, there is not much time for the Lakers to adjust.

The next game is coming soon.

Fortunately, it is back-to-back at home.

January 11, Staples Center Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the home court of the Lakers is about to usher in a game against the Nets. The lights are bright and the crowds are overwhelming.

When warming up, Kobe just made up the numbers like a business, but Paul was the busiest.

He chatted with Deron Williams, one of the point guard double stars in the 05 class, for a few cents.

After all, it was his debut in the 05 class, and Subei also added a few cents.

At the same time, as a former 'Elvis Presley', Paul also chatted with Gerald Wallace, a former Bobcats teammate.

At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

After the New Jersey Nets were changed to the Brooklyn Nets, under the drastic transformation of the Russian bears' ability to enjoy money, they already have the resources to hit the championship, and there are still many talents in the team.

The Nets starting five, Brook Lopez, Chris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams.

The Lakers started with five players, Jordan Hill, Gasol, Subei, Kobe, and Paul.

The game was broadcast live by TNT radio station. Barkley and Kenny Smith formed a commentary partner, and Jeff Van Gundy was invited as a guest commentator.

"In theory, the Nets owner is already the richest owner in the league.

The owner of the Trail Blazers is not willing to spend money at all. Don't look at the Nets spending only 8500 million in salary this season, which is not as good as the Lakers' [-] million.

In fact, the only difference is Kobe's annual salary contract!

After all, the newly joined Joe Johnson has an annual salary of less than 2000 million, and Kobe rounds up to get an annual salary of 2800 million.

The difference in annual salary of 1500 million is the gap between the new F4 combination and the low-profile version of the F4 combination!

However, the low-profile version of the F4 combination is also F4. It will not be easy for the Lakers to gnaw on this hard bone. "

"If I have to guess a winning percentage, I hope it's [-]-[-]!

The Lakers have 7 wins and 1 loss and just swallowed a defeat. The Nets have 6 wins and 2 losses, but they are in a 4-game winning streak, and their state is not much different.

But the Lakers have just experienced a bitter battle with the Spurs and lost, and immediately facing the Nets, a championship team, physical consumption is a big problem.

In addition, the core players of the Lakers have all played in the Olympics, and the Lakers' fighting spirit is also a problem. "

"Indeed, the outcome of this game is unpredictable, and it depends on the performance of the players on the field..."

The game is on!

beep-!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in his hand. Lopez defeated Jordan Hill and won the ball for the Nets.

Su Bei followed Gerald Wallace.

Joe Johnson handed over to Kobe to solve.

Paul led the defense of Deron.

"Get the ball up the court and see what Deron Williams does?
Sure enough, hitting Chris Paul with the ball, this kind of operation, the advantage is on Deron's side..."

At this time, Lopez asked for the ball in the low post.

Humphries pulled by the horns, flanked by Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallaigan.

No one can help Paul wipe his ass, only to resist the little fat Deron.

Bang-!
There is no technical content, just use the body to grind and push with tonnage.

At this time, Paul's small movements, facing Deron, were nowhere close to completion, so he could only fight and retreat, and was crushed step by step.

In the end, it is impossible to end in the end.

Subei and Jordan Hill, seeing that Paul was unable to parry, could only jump over to help defend.

"Deron completed his turn, hit the free throw line, pulled the ball and shot, raised his hand and made a two-point jump shot..."

Paul blocked from the side, just covered a lonesome, put on a show.

Gasol jumped out, also too late, only to hear the gunshot.

Swish-!
"Yes!!

Deron head start for the Nets.

Beating Paul, Deron crushed with his body, this is called professional..."

This season is Deron's last peak season, and after one and a half seasons of running-in, I feel that Deron's shooting state has recovered a lot.

Last season's shooting percentage was only 40%, and this season it has increased by 45%. Paul is really not good.

2 to 0! !
"Paul's physical strength is still at a disadvantage!

In addition, once upon a time, when Deron was in the Jazz, he routinely played pick-and-roll tactics.

Paul's talent of 183 is very disadvantaged when he encounters this kind of body and such a pick-and-roll tactic that has been played non-stop.

In the duel between Paul and Lund, Paul lost more than he won. Now both sides have changed teams and tactics.

Next, let's see how Paul responds to Deron on offense..."

On the court, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and did not pass the ball to Kobe to play Joe Johnson.

In this matchup, the Lakers don't have much advantage.

Paul still chooses to pass the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then chooses to cut inside to the basket.

"Very nice tactics!

In terms of speed, the advantage is on Paul's side. When Deron was blocked by Gasol, he handed the ball to Paul, broke through to the end when he got the ball, hit the basket and shot, and quickly finished the game..."

Boom, swish—!
It's not just that Lopez's turn is too slow, but also that Paul's 183 speed is too fast, and the Nets' back door cannot be guarded at all.

2 to 2! !
Off the court, Mike Brown nodded, Paul was still so smart in playing waves.

The power over there lost, and when I looked back, I immediately returned the color at speed.

Deron, the same can't stand it!

come on!

Hurt each other!
Both the offensive and defensive ends of Subei played soy sauce.

No way, Gerald Wallace is now focusing on defense. He has entered the best defensive team, and Su Bei is really not broken.

Fortunately, Su Bei was in no hurry.

Ask even Kobe did it!

Kobe is in no rush, and neither is he.

On the court, the Nets attack.

Deron took the ball to the frontcourt and saw that Paul was not close to the body, and he seemed to be anti-punching but not anti-shooting, so he immediately asked for a tactic.

"Humphries pulled up high and did a pick-and-roll with Deron.

That damn basketball, in the hands of Humphries, facing Paul's misplaced defense, catching the ball, jumping up, ignoring Paul's block, raising his hand is a two-point jumper shot..."

Last season, in the contract year of Humphreys, he performed amazingly and played like a low-profile version of Malone. While getting a big contract, he also married a big butt, and his confidence in playing waves was also demonstrated.

It's just a pity, having confidence is a good thing, but underestimating Kardashian's defensive skills.

Although Paul couldn't reach it and could only hear the gunshot, Humphries' pistol had already been confiscated by Kardashian, where are the bullets?

Bang-dang-!
"Missed?
Not scientific! !
Last season, Humphreys was very lethal in the middle distance. I didn't expect that it would become mediocre in just one season. What's wrong..."

Outside the arena, Kardashian, who was sitting in the auditorium, was celebrating with excitement. Unexpectedly, his husband Henfris softened and just loafed outside. The wasted shouts and expressions were nothing.

"Gasol gets the rebound, throws the ball over to Paul, picks it up and hits the counter.

Turn around to avoid Delong's counterattack on the spot, and continue to charge forward..."

At this moment, Kobe and Su Bei rushed forward like two sharp knives.

The Nets' inside twin towers are not athletic enough, but their outside mobility is top-notch.

Both Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace rushed back.

A three-on-two situation was formed in the frontcourt. Paul advanced in the middle and chose to turn over the card of Subei in the right three-point corner.

"Paul is the only one who favors Subei again!
Instead of looking for Kobe, he wanted a steady two-pointer, but chose a risky three-pointer.

Su Bei catches the ball, lifts it up, and raises his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."

Gerald Wallace instinctively shrunk towards the basket. After all, the best solution was to protect the basket when he was hit back. Unexpectedly, the Lakers' offense was so violent that he could only throw it out and bet on Su Bei's three-pistol had no bullets in it.

Bang-dang-!
You guessed it right, there is no bullet in Su Bei's three-dimensional pistol!

"No hit!
Su Bei didn't bring a microwave oven, so the opportunity came out, but the three-pointer was useless.

Hey, the Lakers' offense didn't end. Kobe took off the offensive rebound and gave the ball to Paul in the middle. Oh my God!

And double-handedly gave the ball to Su Bei..."

Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, Su Bei received Paul's point ball. He was not affected by the three-point miss just now. He received the ball, lifted it up, took off, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...

The whole shooting action, without a trace of extra movement, shot very smoothly.

Gerald Wallace just came back from defending North Jiangsu's defense and wanted to protect the rim, but he didn't expect that Paul had already reached the bottom but didn't shoot, what else could he do?
He can only defend with his eyes and continue to gamble...

Swish-!
It was a wrong bet. This time, Su Bei's pistol finally, finally had bullets.

"Nice three point hit!!
As long as Kobe or Paul hesitated and didn't believe in Su Bei's three-point ability, this shot would never happen.

The Nets didn't deserve the three-point loss. They gave Su Bei two three-point shots in a row. Even if he didn't have a microwave oven, Paul would still be able to warm up Su Bei's hand when he fed the ball..."

There is no three-point shot that cannot be hit, if not, then the second time!

2 to 5! !
When returning to defense, Su Bei asked Paul to beat him to celebrate, and Paul gave him too much chance.

It is difficult to miss the shot.

too difficult!
Off the court, Nets coach Avery Johnson had a calm face.

How brave and destructive the Lakers' counterattack is, he has already pre-arranged it.

Don't panic!
The Nets don't understand defense, and the Lakers don't even want to understand it.

On the court, the Nets attack the round!
Humphries was useless just now, he didn't call tactics anymore, but chose to do it himself.

Bang-!
"It's another physical blow to Paul!

It can be said that Paul was not active, and made frequent small moves, but it was useless, and was pushed in by Deron.

Turned around and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area, Gasol threw it out, Deron pushed with both hands, and passed a ground hit..."

boom--!
The basketball hit the floor, bounced quickly, and fell to the basket, in Lopez's hands.

As the tenth overall pick in 08, he has grown into an All-Star insider. He jumped up with the ball and dunked with both hands, with his whole body hanging on the basket.

Bang-dang-!
"It's so easy!
The cake was beautifully made, and Brook Lopez ate it wonderfully.

Although Lopez has not yet made the All-Star Game, he averaged 20 points and 7 rebounds per game. With a quasi-All-Star performance, Gasol may not be able to defend against him alone. Now he is still empty. I really can't stand it...

Of course, the problem is Paul, he can't stand Deron..."

4 to 5! !
At the beginning of the first quarter, under the leadership of two super point guards, the two sides fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to the opponent.
