Nash, Kobe, Metta World Peace, Howard, Gasol.

Each name is familiar to Chinese fans.

And the twin towers against the twin towers is retro enough, and the head coaches of both sides are full of expectations.

As a result, Jiang Hao went directly to defend the small forward at the beginning, which is also the weakest link of Artest in the Lakers.

Artest was weak when he saw Jiang Hao defending him. When he was receiving the ball normally, he was scared by Jiang Hao's steal and turned around to dribble around Jiang Hao's hand, but the ball slipped out of his hand and hit the referee.

Out of bounds, Spurs have the ball!

"I'm back, the familiar feeling is back!"

"Jiang Hao is even more bullying in the NBA, haha."

"Here comes the outrageous operation, Artest, is it necessary to be so scared!"

"Not only did you blow the whistle in your mouth, but you also wore the same black as me!"

I was dizzy after turning around, and I mistook the referee for a friendly!

What's funny is that Metta World Peace scolded the referee after he dribbled out of bounds.

Jiang Hao couldn't stand it anymore, and he scolded Metta World Peace while serving the ball:

"What are you doing? Look at yourself to see if you are a feather duster hanging on the clothesline, what are you doing!"

The scene was very high, and Metta World Peace was naturally embarrassed. If it was a Chinese game a year ago, he would definitely go up to make trouble, but now he is the absolute king, in order to avoid being beaten.

Also to practice chemistry for a while, Metta World Peace just swallowed his anger and stayed down.

But it was useless, Jiang Hao had to show off.

He had to show off to his hometown folks in the Chinese game.

Because for him, this was the first "performance" in a domestic open event, and there were only two games, this one in Beijing, and the next one in Shanghai.

So the serve was given to Danny Green, and after Danny Green returned it to him, he was not vague, holding the ball and facing Kobe's defense, breaking through and making a layup!

Howard hesitated and didn't know how to defend forward.

"The chemistry is really not good enough."

Lakers fans also noticed that Howard and Nash and others were not integrated, because when Nash tried to call the three-corner tactics on the offensive end, Howard did not pass the ball back to Kobe.

Instead, he made a shot, and although he scored in front of Duncan, it was difficult.

What's the point of this kind of singles.

Basketball is a five-person sport, and fans and coaching staff all hope that 1+1+1+1+1 is greater than 5.

"Next time, just foul!"

Jiang Hao smiled and made a pull-down gesture to Duncan, and Duncan nodded.

In the next round, Howard also fouled directly after grabbing the offensive rebound.

Two free throws were missed, and the tactic of cutting Howard was successful!!!

On the defensive end, the Lakers' twin towers obviously could not limit the Spurs' outside line, and Gasol was directly taught a lesson by Parker and Jiang Hao.

Although Howard is awesome in inside defense, his footwork is not good in outside defense, and he likes to jump, and because of his happy beast attributes, it is easy to make mistakes.

The main thing is that after arriving at the Lakers, it is impossible for him to be completely centered on you, and he cannot stay in the interior.

At least from the Lakers' preseason games, Howard himself is a system, and the others are a system.

It even affects the spatial position of Gasol.

In the last attack of the Lakers in the first quarter, Gasol wanted to pass the ball to Howard at the free throw line, but Howard wanted to do a pick-and-roll for Kobe, but he bumped into Gasol, causing Gasol to hesitate and be slapped away by Jiang Hao.

Then he passed the ball to James Harden who came off the bench. Harden easily beat the old arms and legs of the Lakers. He dribbled behind his back and passed Nash and made a layup easily!

It can be seen that the Zen Master already wants to experiment with the lineup, but it seems that he can't even beat the Spurs' rotation.

37:24 in the first quarter.

The Spurs lead by 13 points with just a casual play!

Although fans were initially excited about the Big Five trade, it has not worked out as expected for the Lakers for a variety of reasons.

One of the main reasons why the trade did not achieve the expected results was the lack of chemistry and fit between Howard and the Lakers lineup.

Howard is known for his excellent defensive performance and rebounding ability, but his offensive ability, especially his free throw shooting percentage, has limitations.

In Jiang Hao's opinion, it is the same.

If he has to analyze it, Howard came to the wrong team and he is really not suitable for the Lakers.

In Jiang Hao's opinion, Howard might as well come to the Spurs and swap with Bonner. Bonner is more suitable for the Lakers' style of play that is completely outside-centered.

Because no matter whether you are peak O'Neal or peak Howard inside.

With the Black Mamba, he is the boss.

It was reflected in the second quarter.

When the Spurs had already rotated Harden and Manu to try the chemistry, Kobe and Howard were still practicing chemistry on the court.

The Lakers' offensive system relied heavily on post-up shooting and outside shooting, which did not fully utilize Howard's strengths. The team had difficulty finding a balanced and effective offensive strategy to integrate Howard seamlessly, resulting in a lack of cohesion on the court.

In addition, injuries and health issues further hindered Howard's impact on the Lakers.

He was recovering from back surgery at the time of the trade, which affected his mobility and athleticism in his first season in Los Angeles.

It was obvious that he could not hold the center of gravity when attacking.

Howard's inability to maintain a peak level has greatly hindered the Lakers' frontcourt performance and overall success.

Of course, Jiang Hao also knew that another factor that led to the failure of the Big Five was Howard's lack of long-term commitment.

He was entering the final year of his contract when he joined the Lakers, and there was uncertainty about his intention to renew with the team. Constant speculation about his future and his eventual decision to leave the Lakers in free agency after just one season created instability and disrupted the team's long-term plans.

Of course, superstars Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard don't see eye to eye. Kobe was used to fierce competition from former teammate Shaquille O'Neal, and Howard couldn't compare to him in attitude, mentality or dominance.

Bryant had higher expectations for the fun-loving Howard but never truly respected him.

This ultimately killed his chances of success because Los Angeles was Kobe's hometown and if the superstar couldn't accept it, it wasn't going to work.

Fortunately, Howard, who entered the palace for the second time, eventually helped the Lakers win the 17th championship trophy in team history, which is a kind of compensation for both parties.

But that’s not necessarily the case now. The basis for entering the palace for the second time is that the little emperor who ascends the throne comes to Los Angeles.

But with Jiang Hao here, will he let James win the championship? ? ?

The second half was a tacit battle between the two substitutes. The result was that Harden and Jackson, Diaw, Bonner, and Simmons on the Spurs were too brutal.

Except for Simmons, they are all starters for other teams, and the Lakers' bench is notoriously weak.

As a result, Howard and Kobe were forced to play and played a wave of Spurs substitutes.

But it obviously doesn't work.

Kobe continued to hit the iron, and even if Howard used his talent to rush and grab rebounds, he could only do it recklessly.

It's just that Diaw is really good at pushing the inside line. He locks Howard in the bottom plate, causing his shooting percentage to be low.

This led to Kobe and Howard starting to curse at the beginning of the fourth quarter, as if they were acting and yet they were real.

Kan Yan Lun, who was sitting underneath, was dumbfounded.

Not that bad, brother

It's just a pre-season game, are you serious?

Internal coaxing?

Jiang Hao, who came up to perform at the end of the fourth quarter, added fuel to the fire: "It will be funny if you can't make it to the playoffs!!!"

Because the Lakers are already 35 points behind.

This is still the case when the Spurs' main force only played 17 minutes! ! !

Everyone was in a bad mood. Before the start of the game, the five giants were determined to win the championship.

As a result, after playing for a season, there is no guarantee that they will make the playoffs. Whoever is replaced will have to slam the table and curse. The conflict between Howard and Kobe may be the most affecting the team's mood.

The reason is that Howard cannot be integrated into the team's tactical system. For example, the Lakers require Howard to play like a blue-collar player without the ball. Sol, you still have the ball at this time, so one ball is not enough to score points!

"Let Sun Yue come on."

Jiang Hao even had time to shout to the Lakers coaching staff to ask Sun Yue to play. Indeed, Sun Yue should play. Why did he sit on the bench for 48 minutes in the China game? ?

Even if you are Kobe and Sun Yue is Kobe's substitute, it can't be like this, right?

What about bullying?

Yes, it's bullying.

The Lakers really didn't give Sun Yue a minute.

In the interview after the game, Sun Yue also said with a wry smile:

"This is the current situation of Chinese players in the NBA. In the final analysis, we still have to improve our own strength. We must all follow Jiang Hao's example."
