Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 77 Los Angeles Derby (Part [-])

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers won the jump ball and took the lead in attacking.Derek Fisher took the ball upfield, and the Lakers set up a game.Kobe Bryant had no intention of receiving the ball on the right wing.

Derek Fisher dropped the ball to Andrew Bynum who was reaching for the ball from a good position inside.Andrew Bynum singles DeAndre Jordan in the low post to the left.This is the consistent strategy of the Lakers. The offense starts from the inside first, making full use of their inside advantage, forcing the opponent to shrink the defensive range, opening up shooting space for the outside players, and launching the attack from the inside to the outside.

The Lakers' three-point shooting percentage last season was not high. As long as someone can limit Kobe Bryant from the outside, there is no need to worry too much about the Lakers' offensive style that combines inside and outside.But this season, Lin Fengzhe, Li Yifeng and Tracy McGrady have joined the Lakers one after another. It is the Lakers' outside shooting percentage that has begun to rise, and the Lakers' internal and external integration has become more and more handy.

Andrew Bynum gets hit by DeAndre Jordan, swings the ball around with his back against DeAndre Jordan, confuses the defender, then turns sharply to the right and squeezes DeAndre Jordan away with his body, from the opponent The side slipped across the bottom line.Then he turned around to face the frame and hooked his right hand, the basketball hit the board and went into the basket, taking the lead in scoring two points for the Lakers.

"Andrew Bynum has made great progress this season, and his footwork has become more flexible, his position singles skills have been further improved, and his shooting percentage has also improved. It can be seen that Andrew Bynum The ball was big and easy." Reggie Miller commented.

"It's not bad, but there is still a big gap compared to me back then." Shaquille O'Neal said, "Although Andrew Bynum's skills have improved, he doesn't seem to have much improvement in his mind. He’s improving, he’s still easily irritated on the court, I really doubt that if the Lakers don’t have Kobe Bryant pressing him down, God knows what he’ll do!” After a pause, Shaquille O’Neal curled his lips Said, "And according to rumors, Andrew Bynum's truce some time ago was not a training injury as the Lakers said, it was this guy who went out to a nightclub and then got injured. It can be seen that the guy who urgently needs to be strengthened should be his. mind."

The TV broadcast seat was not very far from the bench. Lin Fengzhe also heard Shaquille O'Neal's words and thought, "I don't know which guy has such a bad mouth and actually spread the inside information. But it also makes sense, Andrew Bainer Sometimes Tom is not calm enough."

Chris Paul took possession of the ball and passed "Old Fish" Derek Fisher with a disguised acceleration.Derek Fisher's movement speed is really getting slower and slower. It is okay to defend against players with slow lateral movement such as Deron Williams, even if it is against the opponent's muscles.But when encountering a player like Chris Paul who is good at speed, it seems a bit stretched. He can follow up and defend at the beginning, but he will be thrown away by the opponent soon.

Paul Gasol let go of Blake Griffin and came up to defend Chris Paul.Chris Paul played big, facing Pau Gasol's defense, after the dribbler's right hand touched the ball again, his wrist moved slightly, and the basketball was passed to the right.Chauncey Billups took off after receiving a touchdown pass from Chris Paul, adjusted his posture slightly in the air, lifted the ball, and hit two points from long distance.

The Lakers still dropped the ball to Andrew Bynum inside, allowing Andrew Bynum to continue to storm DeAndre Jordan.This time Blake Griffin began to help DeAndre Jordan help defend Andrew Bynum, intentionally or not.

Seeing that the chance was not very good, Andrew Bynum passed the ball to World Peace in the bottom corner again, adjusted his position, received a return pass from World Peace, and hit DeAndre Jordan with his back.This time, Andrew Bynum didn't wait for Blake Griffin to come up to help defend, pushed DeAndre Jordan away, turned around and shot, and hit again.

If it was last season, 80.00% of Andrew Bynum would choose to force the offense. This season Andrew Bynum will undoubtedly play more flexibly and efficiently.

Next, Chris Paul broke through and scored a mid-range jumper for Caron Butler, who was about forty degrees away from World Peace, and the score was four to four.

The Lakers' interior offensive strategy is very resolute, and they still hand over the basketball to the interior.This time, Blake Griffin's help defense was very firm, and Andrew Bynum came up to help defense as soon as he received the ball.Andrew Bynum gestures to force a shot, draws attention and passes to Kobe Bryant on the right.Kobe Bryant catches the ball and quickly transfers the basketball to Pau Gasol on the right side of the free throw line in the middle.Blake Griffin didn't withdraw in time and could only raise his right hand high to make a blocking motion.Pau Gasol makes a mid-range jumper.

Then the Clippers began to use pick-and-rolls in their offense.Chris Paul drives past Derek Fisher and picks and rolls off Pau Gasol with Blake Griffin.If Andrew Bynum comes up to cover the defense, Chris Paul will pass to Chauncey Billups who is also attacking the penalty area.If it is World Peace who comes up to defend, the ball will be released to Caron Butler.After switching defenses, Caron Butler's defense became Derek Fisher. Caron Butler faced Derek Fisher, who had no bounce and no speed, and could shoot or break through without pressure.

This is the way of attack, the Clippers succeeded many times, scoring eight points in a row.Although the Lakers are not at a disadvantage on the offensive end, they are obviously a little powerless when defending the opponent's pick-and-roll.At the fifth minute and 27 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers took advantage of the dead ball to replace Derek Fisher with Lin Fengzhe.

Lin Fengzhe held the ball in the frontcourt, directed his teammates' running positions, and then passed the ball directly from the top of Chris Paul's head to Pau Gasol. After that, he smiled and looked at Chris, who was a lot shorter than himself. Paul.

Pau Gasol faces Blake Griffin with the ball left of the free throw line.Pau Gasol held the ball in his left waist, kept pointing forward with his right foot, testing Blake Griffin's defense, then stepped back and made a jumper.Blake Griffin reacted quickly and quickly stepped forward to block the shot.Pau Gasol flicked the ball under Blake Griffin's armpit to Andrew Bynum at the basket.

After receiving the ball, Andrew Bynum turned around and dunked with one hand. The Lakers were still two points behind the Clippers.

"This trick again?" Lin Fengzhe thought to himself. Lin Fengzhe, who had already secretly warned himself to be careful when he was off the court, quickly bypassed Blake Griffin and followed Chris Paul again.

Chris Paul passed for a one-handed dunk to Blake Griffin, who had just screened for himself and cut in the middle.

Lin Fengzhe made a breakthrough in the frontcourt, squeezed Chris Paul away with his body, and faced Caron Butler who was supplementing the defense, he gave the ball to World Peace with a wide open corner and made a three-pointer. shot.The scores of the two teams were reduced to one point.

DeAndre Jordan rushed to grab the rebound and provoked it again after landing. Andrew Bynum rewarded him with a slam dunk, but it was a pity that Caron Butler grabbed the jumper and succeeded.

Lin Fengzhe breaks through and divides the ball to attract double-teams and then distributes the ball to World Peace. World Peace slips to the bottom line and misses a layup.Pau Gasol made consecutive penalty kicks under the basket and scored the ball.

Chauncey Billups upfield pass to Blake Griffin singles Pau Gasol.Blake Griffin dribbled the ball with his back twice and passed Paul Gasol. bottom line.

"This block is very timely and reminds me of LeBron James." Reggie Miller said with emotion, "Lin Fengzhe's defense is really positive, and he has sent such a big cap many times this season."

"Don't you think Lin Fengzhe can jump much higher than LeBron James? And Lin Fengzhe is also more handsome." Shaquille O'Neal said.

After Lin Fengzhe sent the block, he landed directly with the basketball on the ground. After landing, Lin Fengzhe saw that Kobe Bryant was about to go down, and immediately passed a long pass to Kobe Bryant.Kobe Bryant played one-on-one in the frontcourt, rushed to the basket quickly, made a throw, and gave way to Caron Butler's block, and the Lakers led by one point.
