Chapter 677: [Cause of weakness, record of assists]

Paul played a full quarter, scoring 5 points, 1 rebound and 9 assists. Under his organization, all the Clippers players scored.
Kobe Bryant scored 16 points and 1 assist. The two led the team in different ways.
In the second quarter, the Lakers sent Fisher, Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes, Landry, Odom.
The Clippers sent Curry, Neil, Guy, Dunleavy and Jordan Jr.
The Lakers' bench lineup is recognized as tough. Four of them have championship experience. Shannon Brown has the physical qualities to participate in the dunk contest, at least on the surface.
Unfortunately, the only defensive players in the Lakers are Barnes and Brown, and the other three are defensive loopholes.
Curry and Neil found a chance to shoot a three-pointer through the cover. The shot looked very casual, but the point difference continued to widen. Fisher was unable to defend Curry or Neal. Direct heads-up was an opportunity.
On the Lakers bench, there was also point guard Aron Brooks, who was abandoned by Byron Scott this season.
Scott is too old-fashioned, there must be certain types of players, he can get the results well, to put it plainly is the players that can organize and drive the whole team, such as Kidd and Paul.
When it comes to the Lakers, Scott is a good star nanny and will not deliberately tap the potential of Brooks.
Brooks suffered an injury last season and has lost the feeling of the 2009 playoffs. His running speed is still very fast, but he does not have a good shooting feel.
Of course, if he plays, the Lakers can't stop it. Even Peak Brooks is inferior to Curry. No coach will arrange him to play against Curry.
Recently, Brooks is also preparing to apply for a transaction, trying to leave the Lakers before the transaction deadline, so that he can see hope. Only when he played good stats in the second half of the season would he have a chance to win a big contract.
In terms of signing, few players are more unlucky than Brooks. In Yang Rui’s previous life, his rookie contract was signed for four years, and he received an approximate minimum salary. In 2009-2010, Brooks won the award for the fastest player, but it was a team option and he could not jump out of the contract. Then he was injured in the contract year, the data fell seriously, and he couldn't get a big contract.
The worst thing is that Brooks encountered a league lockout in the contract year, which made it impossible to sign a contract. After joining the Chinese CBA for a season, he failed to win the championship. Later, he returned to the NBA and could only be a marginal man.
Now, Brooks is not as good as his predecessors. Scott generally gives Fisher the bench time.
After playing for only 4 minutes, Fisher was replaced and Bryant returned to the court.
Yang Rui didn't make a substitution and asked Guy to defend Kobe. Kobe's feel was good today. Tony Allen couldn't block the shot with a single defense. Now he changes his defense and disrupts Kobe's offensive rhythm.
Neither Guy nor Kobe disappointed Yang Rui. Guy was good at using height and arm length to interfere with the shooting. Kobe, as usual, mainly made jumpers and missed three consecutive shots under interference.
Since Guy's defense is good, Yang Rui will not be substituted. After 6 minutes, Paul played to replace Neal and played a double back with Curry.
The Lakers switched back to Love, and partnered with Odom, Landry was replaced early.
Landry had a successful season in Yang Rui's previous life. The peak was 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds. As a bargaining chip, he was traded to the Kings and returned to Kevin Martin.
The Lakers don't need Martin, the shooting guard. Landry has been with the Lakers, and his numbers have repeatedly fallen.
Even worse is DJ White, who has become a marginal man after two injuries and has no ball to play.
The Clippers led 74 to 47 at halftime and almost locked the victory.
The Lakers played an ugly game on many radio broadcasts around the world. The team was completely scattered. Only Kobe was still shining. He scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the half, the highest in the game.
Paul sent 4 assists in a single quarter, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal. He couldn't score more than Kobe, but led the team far ahead.
During the intermission, Yang Rui went to the locker room to praise the players and set up tactics.
"In the next quarter, Chris (Paul) is going to be full. All players receive his pass, try to shoot immediately, give him an assist, help him break his career single assist record. Defensive end continue to single defense Kobe, strictly guard against other people."
The two sides are in a direct competitive relationship. Sending the Lakers a fiasco is conducive to the development of the Clippers. Yang Rui will not keep his hand. The big score leads, he does not want to win more points, but to help Paul brush a super data.
Stars who have played super data are more attractive to fans. Yang Rui has arranged this before taking the previous teams.
Paul has no reason to refuse. His goal this season is the regular season MVP. To complete the goal, playing time is too short or the data is too bad. He has a strong desire for performance.
In the second half, Yang Rui replaced Guy and sent Tony Allen to play Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers are all dead, Kobe is attacking with the ball, and a few others are catching the ball.
Roll Deng has the ability to singles, Nash can play picks and rolls, if Love has the right to the ball, he is a strong insider with 20+10 ability, and he can't play it out.
Kobe Bryant continued to score under the strict guard, but the Lakers' defense is worse, unable to prevent, the points continue to widen.
Kenny Smith commented: "The Lakers players can't play together and can't play their full strength. Many people say that Byron Scott is not as good as Jerry Young as the reason for the Lakers' weakness, but I think it's more Kobe's reason. Do not trust your teammates."
Buckley laughed: "When the Lakers were the strongest, it was Kobe's absence in the 2009 playoffs. Yao Ming was in the Lakers last season. They could still make it to the Western Conference finals. It's difficult for the Lakers to make the playoffs this season. Kobe has never None of them are good leaders, he proved it himself."
Kobe is a very contradictory person, do not want to have teammates stronger than him ~ EbookFREE.me ~ people who are weaker than him, and can not get his trust.
Kobe not only hopes that the team's overall lineup is strong and impacts the championship, but also wants to play the most luxurious data and monopolize all honors.
This is an endless cycle. It is hard to find teammates who are both dominant and do not grab the honor.
As long as the Lakers take Kobe as the core, the ambitious players will leave because of Kobe's existence, leaving only those who can't catch the ball, who want to mix their lives, pass the ball to Kobe to complete the task.
The Clippers led 39 points into the final quarter. Paul sent 7 assists in a single quarter, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 20 assists and 1 steal.
At home for Christmas, the Lakers didn't want to lose too much, so the starting lineup continued to play, only Odom rested.
Odom's failure to play is a symbol of the Lakers' best efforts. Now he is too poorly defended and often distracted. After this season, the Lakers management will not be able to execute Odom’s third-year contract. If a team still wants to bet on Odom and trade with the Lakers, it will be unlucky.
Yang Rui also sent Paul to continue to fight, the other four are Korver, Gay, Dunleavy, Jordan Jr.
In order to better attack and open up space, Tony Allen didn't play again, Guy's single defense against Kobe was slightly inferior, but he could play more roles on the offensive end. After receiving Paul's pass, he can immediately pull out his hand and add assists when he gets in.
After 7 minutes, Kobe Bryant, who scored another 14 points, was replaced, making 20 of 43 shots, 2 of 7 3-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, 51 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Paul also immediately went off the field, scoring 5 more points, sending 4 assists, 37 minutes playing time with 18 points, 3 rebounds, 24 assists and 2 steals.
Paul broke his individual assist record. It happened that he also played against the Lakers last time, scoring 19 points and 21 assists in the 2007-08 season.
The Clippers outscored the Lakers by 129 to 83 and 46 points.
