Chapter 518
Before the start of this game, many experts have actually predicted that the Raptors may not take advantage of this game, because no matter what direction you analyze, the strength of the Lakers can completely beat the Raptors.And in this game, Ye Xuan finally didn't have the face of the bricklayers. Not long after the game started, the Lakers led by Ye Xuan took the initiative on the court. It also allowed DeRozan to hit two irons in a row, and Valanciunas' back hit also ended in failure. The Lakers started their opponents with a 7:0 start as soon as they came up.

After that, the rhythm of the game gradually slowed down. The Lakers began to play steadily, not giving the Raptors any chance at all. The two main players of the Raptors were locked by Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill. Do the other players have the means to open up the situation, so they can only watch helplessly as the team is opened up by the opponent a little bit.

When the game was suspended in the first quarter, the Lakers had quietly scored 19 points, while the Raptors only scored 8 points, and the shooting percentage was even more tragic to only 20.00%.At this time, the Lakers already knew that the game was sure, and Walton was unambiguous, and decisively replaced Wade to rest. After all, he is a veteran, so he can have more rest time and wait until the playoffs. Make an effort.

After replacing Nick Young, the offensive firepower of the Lakers was stronger than when Wade was on the court, but Ye Xuan and Gasol could only rely on Ye Xuan and Gasol to organize the offense. When Wade was on the court, the Lakers' tactics It can be regarded as a triangular tactic with a change of direction. Both Ye Xuan and Wade can have an advantage in singles, but the difference is that this time the finisher is also the ball holder, and Gasol's ability to open up space is far away. It's much better than O'Neal and the like, and it feels a bit like Odom back then.

The first half of the game ended in a blink of an eye. Under the leadership of Ye Xuan, the Lakers easily took a 19-point lead. I have to say that the Raptors were completely stunned today. The shooting percentage in the first half was only 30%, only 38 points in total, and the Lakers have already scored 57 points. This is because Ye Xuan was replaced and rested later, and the offensive efficiency of the Lakers has declined.

The second half of the game naturally turned into garbage time. The main players of the Lakers also chatted happily off the court, and on the court, substitutes such as Zubac, who usually don't have much playing time, also got a chance to practice on the court.At the end of the game, the Lakers easily defeated the visiting Raptors. Ye Xuan's statistics were relatively mediocre, and he only played 20 minutes of the game. However, after the game, Ye Xuan still won the Western Conference again. Zhou's Best of the Week trophy, after all, if it is calculated, Ye Xuan can score almost 50 points in the four games this week, so this trophy is naturally in Ye Xuan's pocket.

But it is a pity that Ye Xuan failed to win the best of the month in November. After all, he was suspended for 11 games. Although the team's record is still very good, the suspension still has a certain impact. The best award was awarded to Westbrook. After all, Westbrook is also the most explosive player in Western Digital besides Ye Xuan.

After the game against the Raptors, the Lakers had no time to take a rest, and immediately faced another strong enemy-the Grizzlies.The Grizzlies can be said to be one of the teams that Ye Xuan is least willing to face, because their strong defense and team style have always made Ye Xuan feel uncomfortable playing, compared to Tony Allen's defense plus inside With Gasol Jr. and Randolph's supplementary defense, Ye Xuan's average efficiency against the Grizzlies will drop by almost 5%.

Suffering from serious injuries, the Grizzlies before and after entering the playoffs last season were an "atypical" Grizzlies; but from the perspective of technical statistics, they were an extremely typical Grizzlies.It is worth mentioning that the Grizzlies have shown signs of style change during the season, and the Grizzlies we are familiar with may soon enter history.

Nevertheless, from the perspective of data performance, the Grizzlies can still be regarded as a representative of "moving against the trend". times, with a hit rate of 2%, ranking 6th and 18.5th respectively).Although the Grizzlies averaged 33.1 free throws per game and tied for eighth, the team still only surrendered an average of 25 shots per game and a 29% field goal percentage, and they were all outside the 24.7th place. Therefore, the true shooting percentage (8%, 83.6th) and per Scoring per 44 possessions (20, tied for 52.4st) isn't so pretty either.

The Grizzlies are "typical" because they maintain the tradition of not making mistakes (12.7 turnovers per game, tied for 6th), but allowing their opponents to make mistakes (15.5 turnovers per game, tied for 5th).It is worth mentioning that compared to last season, the Grizzlies' defensive rebound rate did not drop much, but their offensive rebound rate increased.As in recent years, the Grizzlies are still a team with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages are not incurable, but the advantages make them have the ability to deal with major injuries.

Conley's contract extension and Gasol's comeback are the biggest signings of the offseason for the Grizzlies.Conley's sky-high contract has caused a lot of criticism, throwing out a contract of 2 million yuan for 5 consecutive years (last year, Gasol was renewed for 1.1 million for 3 years). is still unusual.Coupled with the fat contract that was also signed with Parsons this summer, which is actually almost the same as the 2000 million yuan contract, the Grizzlies will suddenly have [-] players with an annual salary of more than [-] million yuan next season.

What is this concept?Not to mention, even all the championship teams in the past 8 years have never been so "luxury".In addition to the Grizzlies in the new season, only the Clippers have this configuration, but the Clippers have a big market in Los Angeles and a financial owner, and they can get rid of the set as early as next year (Chris Paul can jump out of the contract), and the market size is even smaller The Grizzlies have to wait until 2019 at the earliest.From a salary point of view only, the Grizzlies are equipped at the championship level.

However, compared with the Thunder that lost Kevin Durant, the Grizzlies, who are also a small-market team, have at least retained their core, and this courage has been approved by the industry.Although Parsons has potential injuries, he can fill the Grizzlies' flank and three-point vacancies, and he can also become the "James King" of the Grizzlies, creating opportunities for his teammates.In a word, although the Grizzlies spent a lot of money, at least they all "prescribe the right medicine", not "people are stupid and have a lot of money".As for whether the effort is worth it, since this summer is the first offseason after the salary cap soars, there will definitely be more unimaginable contracts in the future, and perhaps we can no longer look at it with old eyes.

Health trumps everything. "Sports Illustrated" once said: "If Parsons remains healthy, the Grizzlies' starting lineup is enough to rank in the forefront of the league." But as of this writing, the time for Parsons' comeback is still uncertain.In contrast, the Grizzlies' bench is relatively weak.Last season, the team was full of injuries, which gave the substitutes a chance to train. However, in order to fill the huge gap between the starting substitutes, Fizdale recently asked Zach Randolph for help. The "Black Bear" will enrich the bench firepower next season. .

The Grizzlies' appointment of Fizdale as their new coach also seems to have added insurance.After saying goodbye to Dave Jogel, one of the purposes of the Grizzlies' coach selection is that the new coach should be able to participate in the construction of the team lineup.And Fizdale has been immersed in Pat Riley for a long time, dealing with players and cultivating newcomers is his specialty.It is reported that Fizdale participated in the offseason from the signing of Parsons to the draft, which initially met the original intention of the Grizzlies to draft coaches.After Fizdale left, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both expressed reluctance, and it is conceivable that the Grizzlies will reconcile next season.Randolph said bluntly, "Fizdale is a man."

The new coach also has a preliminary idea for the new season. He revealed that he will rely on the 4 cores of Conley, Gasol Jr., Randolph and Parsons.But the industry is also eyeing the possible demise of the Grit and Grind style that the Grizzlies are proud of.Next season, Tony Allen and Randolph, who are the representatives of the Grizzlies' crushing style of play, will both enter the contract year. It is worth watching whether the three 3 million gentlemen will lock up the prospect of these two contract extensions.If the two leave, the Grizzlies we are familiar with may take a new look.

In short, an undeniable fact is that before Gasol Jr. fell last season, the Grizzlies were firmly in the top 5 in the Western Conference, and finally kept the 7th place.In the new season, the Grizzlies should be able to enter the top 4 and retreat to the top 6.Moreover, although the Grizzlies are only ranked sixth in the Western Conference, their winning percentage against strong teams is not low. First, he defeated the Spurs, and they also won against the Cavaliers. It was the Warriors, who were always under pressure when facing them. It was not until the last minute of the game that they were defeated by Curry and Durant's two consecutive three-pointers.However, due to the existence of the black and white bears and Mr. Conley, who is not particularly good in offense and defense, the team often lacks the ability to crush opponents when facing some weak teams. Almost 1% of their games in a season are 90.00-[-] against their opponents, which consumes a lot of energy.

This game is actually a challenge for Ye Xuan. After all, he still has to face the difficult Grizzlies, and it is still back to back. Although the last game didn't last long, back to back games will always be It makes people feel tired. Of course, Ye Xuan's performance is also very crucial to the Lakers. After all, although they are the Big Three, the real core of the Lakers is only Ye Xuan.

Of course, there are other things to watch in this game, such as the dialogue between Gasol Jr. and Gasol’s brothers. For example, one of the chips used to trade Gasol back then is the player who has now grown into an All-Star team. Gasol, who has become a player, and Conley, who has the highest salary at the point guard position, and Ye Xuan, who has the highest score at the point guard position.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers got off to a weak start. They missed two consecutive rounds on the offensive end. Ye Xuan missed a shot under the defense of Tony Allen, and then broke through and scored the ball. Randall's mid-range shot also failed. On the other hand, the Grizzlies played steadily inside. Randolph hit the ball for two consecutive rounds, allowing the Grizzlies to establish an advantage at the beginning .

But at this moment, Gasol stepped forward, first hit a three-pointer directly after receiving a pass from Ye Xuan from the outside, and then used the hand-off pass after the pick-and-roll to help Ye Xuan gain space. Cutting the opportunity, allowing Ye Xuan to score a layup smoothly, after several rounds of fighting, Gasol perfectly interpreted what is ginger or old hot, and at the same time told his brother, your brother will always be you elder brother.

Gasol showed his prowess again, and the Lakers also took this opportunity to quickly flip the score. The team's defense wasn't particularly bad either, which made the Grizzlies' not-so-strong offensive methods a bit stretched in an instant. Fortunately, they still had the advantage inside, so they were able to barely bite the score.

However, the balance of all this was finally broken when the substitutes came on the court. The combat effectiveness of the Grizzlies' substitutes was obviously much lower than that of the Lakers' substitutes. Under the leadership of Clarkson and Nick Young, The Lakers' substitutes were like tigers looking for food down the mountain, and they beat the Grizzlies' substitutes to the ground. In just 4 minutes of substitute playing time, the point difference between the two teams was expanded from 3 points to 9 points.

The subsequent game slowly entered the rhythm of the Lakers, and the score was gradually pulled away. Although Ye Xuan was interfered with by Tony Allen in scoring in this game, so his score was relatively low, but he also It's not that he didn't know about the change, so he worked harder on assists. As a result, Ye Xuan, who scored only 16 points, scored 17 assists.

After the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies, their own record was also rewritten to 19 wins and 3 losses. The Pelicans behind them were 15 wins and 5 losses, and they still had two games less. The Warriors were even more tragic. After losing to the Lakers, they also lost to the 76ers, the No. 14 pick in successive years, during their expedition to the Eastern Conference. This game can be regarded as their bad luck, and they encountered a newborn calf who is not afraid of trouble—— Beed, Embiid was not able to play last season due to injuries, so as a third pick in the 15-76 season, he announced his reimbursement for two consecutive seasons, but this did not make the 16.9ers give up this potential rookie , and this season he also proved that his average of 8.9 points and 3.2 rebounds per game is already considered the best insider in the league, and he can also average 1.1 assists and 15 blocks per game, with the ability to shoot three-pointers At the same time, there is also a certain dominance in the interior, which is simply the contemporary Olajuwon. As a result, the Warriors were naturally tragic, and finally ranked third in the Western Conference with 6 wins and [-] losses.
