Chapter 614: Eat and sleep with Paul, Deron likes to crush him with his body, this is professionalism!
Losing is a good thing for the Lakers, at least it can reveal the depth of the Spurs' strength.
Although the GDP team looks old, it is still an elite force!
In addition to the Heat and Thunder, the Lakers' attention must also fall on the Spurs.
I originally thought that their lineup was aging and they had withdrawn from the championship competition, but I didn't expect that they could actually compete so well.
At the same time, the Lakers' internal problems were lifted and attention was paid to them.
The game was actually dominated by the 36-year-old Duncan. I had an idea of how useless the inside line was.
Although there are many problems, there is not much time for the Lakers to adjust.
The next game is coming soon.
Fortunately, it's back-to-back at home.
November 17, Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Lakers was about to usher in a game against the Nets. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe just made up the numbers in a business-like manner, but Paul was the busiest.
He chatted for a few cents with Deron Williams, one of the two point guard stars in the 2005 class.
After all, he debuted in the 2005 class, so Su Bei also added a few cents.
At the same time, as a former Elvis, Paul also had a few words with Gerald Wallace, a former Bobcat teammate.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
After the New Jersey Nets were changed to the Brooklyn Nets, thanks to the drastic transformation of the Russian Bears' ability to make money, they already have the talent to compete for the championship, and there are still many talents in the team.
Nets' top five, Brook Lopez, Krish Fries, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams.
Lakers five players, Jordan Hill, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Paul.
This game was broadcast live on TNT radio. Barkley and Kenny Smith formed the commentary partner, and Jeff Van Gundy was invited as the guest commentator.
"Theoretically, the Nets owner is already the richest owner in the league.
The owner of the Trail Blazers is simply unwilling to spend money. Even though the Nets only spent 85 million on salary this season, it can't compare to the Lakers' 100 million.
In fact, the only difference is Kobe’s annual salary contract!
After all, the newly joined Joe Johnson’s annual salary was less than 20 million, while Kobe rounded off his annual salary to 28 million.
The difference in annual salary of 15 million is the difference between the new F4 combination and the low-end F4 combination!
However, the low-end version of the F4 combination is also F4, and it will not be easy for the Lakers to crack this tough nut."
"If I had to guess a winning rate, I hope it would be 50-50!
The Lakers have 7 wins and 1 loss, and just suffered a defeat. The Nets have 6 wins and 2 losses, but in their 4th consecutive victory, their status is not much different.
But the Lakers had just experienced a tough battle with the Spurs and lost, and they were about to face the Nets, a team competing for the championship, and physical exhaustion was a big problem.
In addition, the core players of the Lakers have all played in the Olympics, and the Lakers' fighting spirit is also a problem."
"Indeed, the outcome of this game is unpredictable. It depends on the performance of the players on the field..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Lopez defeated Jordan Hill and won the first possession of the ball for the Nets.
Su Bei keeps up with Gerald Wallace.
Joe Johnson leaves it to Kobe.
Paul leads the defense against Deron.
"Keep the ball in the frontcourt and see how Deron Williams plays?
Sure enough, dribbling the ball to beat Chris Paul, this kind of operation, the advantage is Deron's side..."
At this time, Lopez asked for the ball in the low post.
Henry Freese pulled the horns, with Joe Johnson and Gerald Walligan on the wings.
No one can help Paul wipe his butt, he can only fight against the fat guy Deron.
Bang——!
There is no technical content, just crush it with your body and push it with tonnage.
At this time, Paul's little moves were completely out of touch when faced with Deron. He could only fight and retreat, and was crushed step by step.
In the end, it is impossible to reach the end.
Su Bei and Jordan Hill, seeing that Paul could not resist, could only pounce on him to help defend.
"Deron completed his turn, reached the free throw line, took the ball and shot, then raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Paul blocked the shot from his side, but he just blocked a lonely shot and made a show of it.
Gasol made the save, but it was also too late, and he could only hear the gunshot.
Swish——!
“Yes!!
Deron takes the lead for the Nets.
Beat Paul, Deron crushes him with his body, this is called professional..."
This season is Deron's last peak season. After another season and a half of running in, Deron's shooting condition has improved a lot.
Last season's field goal percentage was only 40%, and this season it improved to 45%. It's really hard for Paul to stand up.
2 to 0!!
“Paul’s physical strength was at a disadvantage despite the confrontation!
In addition, once upon a time, Deron used to play pick-and-roll tactics when he was with the Jazz.
Paul's 183 talent was at a huge disadvantage when faced with such a body and constant pick-and-roll tactics.
In the duel between Paul and Lund, Paul lost more than he won. Now both teams have changed teams, and their tactics have changed.
Next, let's see how Paul responds to Deron offensively..."
On the court, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and did not pass the ball to Kobe Bryant to hit Joe Johnson.
In this matchup, the Lakers don't have much advantage.
Paul still chose to pass the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then cut inside to the basket.
“Very nice tactics!
In terms of speed, the advantage lies with Paul. When Deron was blocked by Gasol, he handed the ball to Paul hand-to-hand. He broke through to the end with the ball, hit the rebound under the basket, and quickly finished the game..."
Bang, swish——!
Not only was Lopez's turn too slow, but Paul's 183 was too fast, and the Nets' backdoor was impossible to defend.
2 to 2!!
Off the court, Mike Brown nodded, Paul was still so smart in playing waves.
The other side lost its strength, turned around, and immediately retaliated with speed.
Delong, can’t stand it either!
bring it on!
Let’s hurt each other!
Subei was very successful on both offense and defense.
No problem, Gerald Wallace is now focusing on defense. He has entered the best defensive team and Jiangsu Bei really can't break it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Su Bei is not in a hurry.
Even Kobe did it!
Kobe is not in a hurry, and neither is he.
On the court, the Nets attack.
Deron controlled the ball and went to the frontcourt. When he saw that Paul was not close to him and seemed to be guarding against penetration rather than shooting, he immediately asked for a tactic.
"Henries pulled up to the high post and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Deron.
That damn basketball was in the hands of Humphreys. Against Paul's misplaced defense, he caught the ball, jumped up, ignored Paul's block, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Last season, during the contract year of Freese, he performed amazingly, looking like a low-end version of Malone with poor fuel economy. While he got a big contract, he also married a big-ass man, and his confidence in making waves was also revealed.
It's just a pity that having confidence is a good thing, but Kardashian's defensive skills were underestimated.
Although Paul couldn't reach it and could only hear the sound of the gunshot, Humphries' pistol had been handed over by Kardashian. Was there still a bullet there?
Bang-dang——!
"Missed?
Unscientific!!
Last season, Fries was very lethal in the mid-range. I didn’t expect that he would become mediocre in just one season. What is the problem here..."
Outside the venue, Kardashian, who was sitting in the audience, was celebrating with excitement. Unexpectedly, her husband, Henry, softened and just rubbed himself outside. His wasted screams and expressions meant nothing.
"Gasol took off the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Paul, speeding up the counterattack.
Turn around to avoid Delong's counterattack on the spot, and continue to rush forward..."
At this time, Kobe and Su Bei rushed forward like two sharp blades.
The Nets' twin towers inside are not very athletic, but their outside mobility is top-notch.
Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace both rushed back quickly.
A three-on-two situation formed in the frontcourt. Paul pushed forward in the middle and chose to turn over Su Bei's card in the right three-point corner.
“Paul loves Su Bei alone again!
Instead of looking for Kobe and a solid two-pointer, he chose a risky three-pointer.
Su Bei caught the ball, raised his hand, and shot a three-point jumper..."
Gerald Wallace instinctively shrank towards the basket. After all, the best solution was to protect the basket when being beaten back. Unexpectedly, the Lakers' offense was so violent that he could only save it and then bet on the Soviet Union.
There are no bullets in Bei's three-point pistol.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets in it!
"No hit!
Su Bei didn't bring a microwave. The opportunity came out, but the three points were useless.
Alas, the Lakers' offense was not over. Kobe took off the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Paul in the middle. Oh my God!
Then he passed the ball to Su Bei..."
Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, Su Bei received Paul's pass. Unaffected by the missed three-pointer just now, he caught the ball, lifted it up, jumped, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...
There is no unnecessary movement in the entire shooting movement, and the shooting is very smooth.
Gerald Wallace had just come back from covering up Su Bei's defense. He wanted to protect the basket, but he didn't expect that Paul had already reached the end but didn't shoot. What else should he do?
He could only defend with his eyes and continue to gamble...
Swish——!
The bet was wrong. This time, Su Bei's pistol finally had bullets.
"Nice three point shot!!
As long as Kobe or Paul hesitated and didn't believe in Su Bei's three-point ability, this shot would not have happened.
The Nets conceded these three points unjustly and gave Su Bei two consecutive three-point shooting opportunities. Even if they don't have a microwave, Paul feeding the ball can warm up Su Bei's touch..."
There is no three-point shot that cannot be hit. If not, then try the second time!
2 to 5!!
When returning to defense, Su Bei looked for Paul to defeat him and celebrate, but Paul gave him too much chance.
It's hard to miss the shot.
too difficult!
Off the court, Nets head coach Avery Johnson had a calm face.
How destructive the Lakers' counter attack is, he has already prepared it.
Don't panic!
The Nets don't know how to defend, so don't even think about the Lakers.
On the court, Nets offensive round!
When Friss just didn't work, he didn't call for tactics anymore, but chose to do it himself.
Bang——!
“Hit Paul with physical force again!
Paul was not passive and made frequent small moves, but they were of no use and Deron pushed him in.
He turned around and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area, Gasol saved it, Deron pushed with both hands and passed a hit..."
boom--!
The basketball hit the floor, bounced quickly, and landed in Lopez's hands under the basket.
As the tenth overall pick in 2008, he has grown into an All-Star-level inside man. He can jump up with the ball and slam dunk with both hands, with his entire body hanging on the basket.
Bang-dang——!
“It’s so easy!
This cake was beautifully made and Brooke Lopez enjoyed it wonderfully.
Although Lopez has not yet entered the All-Star Game, he averages 20 points and 7 rebounds per game. With a quasi-All-Star performance, Gasol may not be able to defend him alone. Now he is still open, and he really can't stand up...
Of course, the problem lies with Paul, who can't stand up to Deron..."
4 to 5!!
At the beginning of the first quarter, the two sides, led by two super point guards, fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to their opponents.
