Chapter 702: [Which is cool and staying there]

On the 22nd, the Clippers and the Lakers played the second preseason Los Angeles derby.
Many media say that Kobe is not a qualified leader, and there are a large group of people on the Internet who say that Kobe is a "cancer" and cannot lead the team to win. He was under a lot of pressure and wanted to prove himself more than he was on the court. He couldn't afford to lose.
In the morning, Bryant went to the arena to practice shooting and treated the preseason as a playoff.
If you don't do this, Bryant has no confidence in playing well against the Clippers. Now it's not that he doesn't want to pass the ball to his teammates and play alone, but the Clippers can really limit him, making him unable to complete the combination of sudden points and shots, just like the Mavericks last season.
Tony Allen, Battier, Guy, Chandler's rotation limit, all outside scorers in the league will feel offensively difficult, which may already be the league's top defensive configuration.
Coupled with Paul, the Clippers have the strength to be selected as the best defensive lineup, and Chandler is the best defensive player.
Chandler is like the center version of Garnett. In Yang Rui's previous life, he was elected the best defensive player in the 2011-12 season. As soon as he joined the Knicks, the team's defense changed immediately.
It is no exaggeration to say that this product is a defensive monster, relying on its unique sports ability and height arm span, his defense range is terrifying: low single defense, weak side defense, outside defense, all are good at play.
Few people can play Chandler in the low post, Bynum, Randolph, Jefferson, Howard have become the souls of the boxing champions again and again, and Duncan and Yao Ming have also been guarded by him. It's a pity that the Bobcats' external defense is too bad. After Gerald Wallace left, not only did the outside attack rely on Deron, but the wing defense became a weakness. The Bobcats couldn't make the playoffs and it was not about Chandler.
How good is his defense during this period? Yang Rui recalled that the Knicks' heartbreaking lineup in the 11-12 season was incredible.
The Knicks suffered from injury, Chandler had to provoke 75% of the defensive tasks, he was in the core inside to defend! Pick and roll cover him to change defense! The weak side leaks him to make up!
Without Chandler, there was no
Lin Madness
at that time. Xiao Linzi had a lot of beautiful data and it was difficult to win. It should be known that during the injury of Stardamer, Chandler’s partner was Novak, and most people could not make up. This defensive hole.
In the n years before this, the Knicks did not rank in the top 20 on the defensive efficiency list; after joining Chandler, he was firmly in the top ten and even hit the top five. Just looking at the lineup configuration, the Knicks are definitely defending the Marines, and the boxing champion has so insulted to help New York life regain its face.
Facing two "Kobe Bryant Terminators" and one "inside finisher", Bryant knelt again, playing 28 minutes, 6 of 17 shots, 35.3% shooting, 1 of 3 3-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, got 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Committs were dissatisfied, and again stated that Kobe's low hit rate was due to being caught. And then it’s still the same old question. Would you pass it on? No, our department has the courage to take responsibility.
The Lakers lost to the Clippers 103 to 128 and lost to their opponents for the second time in 3 days. It wasn't a big deal, but Kobe was fighting too hard. The ligament in his right wrist was torn and the tragedy.
Kobe forced a dunk in the third quarter and was blocked by Chandler. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, holding his right wrist in his left hand to show a painful expression, and then returned to the locker room.
After Kobe went to the hospital for an MRI, the results showed that his right wrist had a torn ligament. The opener is about to start the day after tomorrow. If the Lakers do not have Kobe in the Bulls' highlight, the wonderfulness will be greatly reduced.
The only good news is that the current advice given by the Lakers team doctors is daily observation, which means that Kobe’s new injury is not serious enough to require surgical recovery.
"Old Fish" Fisher is not worried, humorously said: "If I were in Las Vegas, I would bet, Kobe will play in the opener. He will not use injury as an excuse, he will cut Drop the injured wrist and use one hand to open the opener."
Kobe Bryant said: mmp, why don't you, a beriberi, cut off your feet and replace it with wood?
Lakers pitcher Capono also said: "If you think Kobe will be absent from the opener, you are an idiot. He is Kobe, no matter what injuries he can play."
The Lakers used this method to boost morale, but they did not share. In the first official strength list, the Lakers ranked only eleventh, and experts only optimistic that they barely made the playoffs.
The Lakers still want to compete for the championship? It's cool to stay, who is going to change the pick-and-roll inside is a big problem that is not easy to solve.
Outside Nash and Fisher's defense is very poor, Jeremy Lin is young and fast, no chance to play, he came to Los Angeles to sell jerseys, to play commercial value.
Kobe determined to be absent from the opener. He spoke hard in an interview. He believes that the Lakers still have a chance as long as they run in well. The fire in his heart will not go out.
Now if the Lakers players are at their peak, they are five All-Stars. Scott also firmly believes that the team will make a difference this season. He will arrange for Gasol, Love, and Roll Deng to actively grab the frontcourt rebounds...
The Clippers ranked third in the strength list, second only to the Mavericks and Cavaliers who reached the Finals last season.
The Mavericks retained the core lineup, and many people are optimistic about their defense.
Without digging Battier, the Cavaliers also have replacements and signed veteran Grant Hill. Last season Hill averaged 30.1 minutes per game, scoring 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He shot 48.4% from the field, 39.5% from three-point range and 82.9% from the free throw line.
In fourth place are the Pacers who have won two games in the preseason, somewhat unexpected.
According to the original development history, Crawford will cut the salary to join the Clippers, and get the best sixth man in the Clippers, reaching the peak of his career. Now that the Clippers don't have Crawford's place, he can only work as a blue collar. Crawford, who wanted to join a strong team to fight for the championship, chose the Pacers.
Now the Pacers have joined the starting lineup of Darren Collison, Paul George, Danny Granger, David West, Roy Hibbert~EbookFREE.me~ George is on the bench -Hill, Crawford, Dengtai-Jones, Hansbrough, etc...
Although the Pacers' core strength is average, not super huge, but the overall strength can already threaten the Cavaliers in the playoffs.
The ESPN expert group predicts that the championship should be decided from these four teams. The old powerhouse Spurs are regarded as low, ranking only 9th. The "gdp combination" is one year older. Scola is not too young. The Spurs need fresh blood.
The Christmas Wars, the Clippers away against the Warriors ranked 7th in the strength list, this is specially arranged by the league, the two offensive teams will be very exciting contest, the Clippers do not have to go far.
This is bad news for the Warriors. The Warriors did not introduce big-name players in the summer. The core is still Brook Lopez, Zach Randolph, and Mike Conley.
Against most teams, the Warriors trio have a way to win, but against the Clippers, they must first consider defense, otherwise they may lose the score.
When the players warmed up, Zhang reasonable sighed: "The Clippers did not introduce stars. Yang Rui likes to train his own stars, but from the two preseason games, the Clippers seem to be stronger than last season. Chandler is better than Jordan."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Clippers' offense is very strong. I want another star. I don't think it's right to divide the ball. I guess Yang Rui wanted to trade Little Jordan last season. The free throws are often inconsistent and the offense is too bad. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies actually gave such a big contract to Jordan, and the annual salary was higher than Chandler, which is really ridiculous."
Clippers start: Paul, Korver, Guy, Griffin, Chandler.
Warriors start: Conley, Belinelli, Dorell Wright, Randolph, Lopez.
Chandler won by jumping the ball and the game began.
