The two sides continued to fight for several rounds, and their shooting percentages dropped.
Although Kobe and Gasol's three-pointers are much better than last season, they are not so strong that they are incredible.
The previous consecutive hits were mainly because the Clippers underestimated the enemy's defense and did not defend it tightly enough.
When the Clippers strengthened their defense, their three-point shooting returned to normal levels.
After the first quarter, 43 to 46, the Clippers were 3 points behind.
This result was somewhat beyond the fans' expectations. They didn't expect that without Phil Jackson, the Lakers could actually take the lead.
Those fans who believed in the coach's uselessness were excited and ridiculed him one after another.
"I just said, let me be the coach of the Clippers, and the Clippers can win the championship."
"Give me a Bulls Big Three, an OK combination, a two-star combination, and I can win 10 championships."
"The coach is just robbing money openly."
...
Fortunately Bobbie couldn't hear these sounds, otherwise he would be very angry.
No matter what others think, he feels that it is his credit for the team's lead.
During the timeout, Burpee was also carefully arranging substitute tactics.
The timeout ends and both sides return to the court.
The Lakers have Jordan Farmar, Ariza, and Odom, and their bench strength is still very strong.
The Clippers have Dragic, Tony Allen, and Kaman on their side, and they are not bad at all.
Dragic has grown up after a year of training, Tony Allen is a strong defensive player, and Kaman actually has the ability to play as the main force, but in order to train Jordan, he was reduced to a substitute.
The substitutes of the two teams played back and forth for a few minutes. The Clippers players were in better condition and chased by 4 points.
Then Kobe and Artest came on the court, and the situation immediately reversed.
Tony Allen can guard a Kobe, but he can no longer guard Artest.
Artest's current offensive ability has not deteriorated, and he can score points steadily if given a chance.
In the next round, Zhang Zhiyuan was replaced, king versus king.
However, one is a true king and the other is a false king.
Or it can be said that one is the big king and the other is the little king.
When the Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan took advantage of Kobe Bryant, easily got a chance to shoot, and scored.
It seems that there is a certain gap between the two.
Komi looked very sad. They wanted to say that Kobe is old, but the problem is that Kobe is not too old.
Only 32 years old.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant singled out Zhang Zhiyuan, and the process was much more difficult than Zhang Zhiyuan's.
When I took action, the chance was not very good, and Zhang Zhiyuan was still interfering.
Kobe still chose to take the shot and the ball missed.
"I thought you had changed."
Zhang Zhiyuan mocked, but Kobe ignored it and he didn't know how to respond.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and passed the ball, and Tony Allen made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Hit again.
Kobe adjusted in time and passed the ball to Artest instead of playing in isolation.
Artest made a mid-range jumper, but the ball missed.
"It's too useless. It's not as useful as a Lori."
Ke Mi sighed.
When Artest came to the Lakers, they were happy for a long time, thinking that he could still perform as a star.
Unfortunately, Artest gradually became an ordinary role player with the Lakers.
He averaged 11 points and 4 rebounds per game and played good defense. This is Artest's full role.
If you ask him as a role player, Artest plays very well, but if you ask him as a core player, it won't work.
"If Lowry goes to the Lakers, you will find that Lowry is not as good as Jordan Farmar. To put it bluntly, Lowry is great not because he is great, but because he plays next to Zhang Zhiyuan. Artest's poor performance is not
It’s because he’s not good enough, but because he’s playing next to Kobe.”
A Kehei said disdainfully.
On the court, Zhang Zhiyuan hit a three-pointer.
The Clippers led by 5 points, and Burpee was forced to call a timeout.
After the timeout for adjustments, the two teams returned to the field.
Then fans discovered that the Lakers' adjustments had no effect and they were still at a disadvantage.
Even most fans don't know what the Lakers' adjustments are.
It seems that how we fought before is how we fight now.
At the end of the first half, it was 77 to 70. The two teams had a super high halftime score. Fans who like offensive basketball were very satisfied. Scores were scored all the time on the court, which was very smooth.
"Having fallen behind again, Zhang Zhiyuan is a hurdle that Kobe can't overcome."
Smith sighed.
"You are wrong. Zhang Zhiyuan is not a hurdle that Kobe cannot overcome, but also a hurdle that all current players cannot overcome. James, Howard, Paul, Garnett, I can count until the end of the game."
Buckley said.
"Okay, you're right."
Smith.
"Brother Zhang really doesn't need to play basketball anymore. He is already invincible in the NBA."
A Chinese basketball fan suddenly realized that he did not want Zhang Zhiyuan to switch careers to play football.
But now he discovered that it would be good for Zhang Zhiyuan to play football.
He always bullies people in the basketball world, and you will get tired of it if you watch it too much.
At least, he is no longer as excited as he was last year when he saw the Clippers leading the Lakers. Last year, he would have shouted and cheered when he saw this situation.
But now, he feels that it is normal and natural for the Clippers to take the lead.
This sentiment was echoed by many basketball fans. Anyway, they could follow Zhang Zhiyuan to watch football.
People who like basketball will most likely also like football.
"Defeat the Big Three of the Heat this season, then temporarily retire like Jordan, go to football for two years, and then return to the NBA to win three consecutive championships. Perfect."
Another fan has simply arranged Zhang Zhiyuan's future.
In the second half, the two sides returned to the court.
The two sides continued to fight.
The Clippers attacked first, Lowry dribbled the ball across half court, handed it to Zhang Zhiyuan, and landed in the bottom corner.
With everything open, Zhang Zhiyuan singled out Kobe Bryant, broke through again, rushed to the basket and scored a dunk.
If you miss it once, it is an accident, but if you miss it twice, it may be accidental.
But after losing one after another in singles, even Ke Mi was embarrassed to say that Kobe's singles ability was no weaker than Zhang Zhiyuan's.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe assisted Gasol for a layup and scored.
Ling Kemi was a little relieved that Kobe's assists were much more than in the previous two seasons.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan attracted the defense to the strong side, and then passed the ball to Maggette on the weak side.
Maggette made a breakthrough layup and scored.
This is just Zhang Zhiyuan's normal choice, but in the eyes of those who care, Zhang Zhiyuan is responding to Kobe, proving that he can not only score, but also assist, and is better than Kobe in all aspects.
The Lakers attacked, and Gasol continued to take advantage of his matchup and scored two points with a mid-range jumper.
Gasol played well, but the Clippers' offense was stronger.
Lowry chased for a three-pointer and shot decisively.
The ball didn't go in. Zhang Zhiyuan rushed forward and was lucky enough to pick up the rebound.
Kobe Bryant and Artest rushed toward him, and with Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting speed, he had no time to take action.
But he didn't do that, and instead threw the ball to the outside again.
Lowry caught the ball and took another shot, hitting a three-pointer.
"The Lakers shouldn't have missed this rebound. Their only advantage against the Clippers is the inside. Now not only can't they grab offensive rebounds, but they can't even protect their own rebounds. How can they win?"
Smith commented.
The combination of Gasol and Bynum should have crushed Jordan Hayes, but the Lakers failed to take advantage of this.
Bobby's level seems to be worse than Jackson's.
In fact, Bobbie was also helpless.
The Lakers are Kobe's team, and Kobe's shots must not be low. Artest is a quasi-star player, and he must average at least seven or eight shots per game.
After being divided in this way, there will not be many opportunities for insiders to take action.
The Clippers don't have this kind of trouble. Except for Zhang Zhiyuan, there are no big names in the team, and the number of shots is entirely controlled by Zhang Zhiyuan.
He can make Lowry take 20 shots today, and he can make Lowry only take two shots tomorrow. It is impossible for Lowry to make a fuss like Artest.
】
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe also made sacrifices and took fewer shots. After all, his efficiency in one-on-one with Zhang Zhiyuan was really eye-catching.
Kobe passed the ball to Gasol, Jordan rushed to double-team to help defend, Gasol passed the ball to Bynum, and Bynum dunked.
This offensive coordination is very good, but it seems a bit late to start now.
The Clippers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan sent a wonderful pass, Jordan received the ball and dunked, and also scored, causing Bynum to foul.
DeAndre Jordan walked to the free throw line and missed the ball.
"Yeah, the Lakers can kill sharks."
Barkley exclaimed that the pace of the game just now was so fast that he had forgotten that the Clippers actually had weaknesses.
"Isn't it too early to start cutting now?"
Smith asked.
"It's already a double-digit difference. If we don't cut it, we'll have no chance."
Buckley said.
It's a pity that Burpee couldn't hear Barkley's call and didn't hack Jordan until the fourth quarter.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, Burpee didn't know whether he woke up or was reminded by his assistant, and finally arranged for someone to hack Jordan.
Jordan went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.
If you are playing against a slow-paced defensive team, this efficiency is actually not too bad.
However, the Lakers' offense is also very strong, scoring far more than one point per shot on average.
This would put the Clippers at a bit of a loss.
The Lakers counterattacked and Gasol hit another three-pointer.
123 to 115, the point difference narrowed to single digits.
Then Dunleavy decisively replaced Jordan and replaced him with Milicic.
Center has never been an important position for the Clippers. Using Milicic instead of Jordan, the difference is actually not big at all.
"Cut the shark?"
Smith laughed.
As important as Jordan is, is he worthy of being that shark?
O'Neal is irreplaceable and must be on the court, so opponents can use shark-cutting tactics against him.
For someone like Jordan, if the opponent tries to kill him, just replace him and that's it. It can be easily resolved.
"It seems that if you want to win, you still have to find Zhang Zhiyuan's weaknesses. What are his weaknesses?"
Buckley looked thoughtful.
Smith studied it with him, and finally sadly discovered that Zhang Zhiyuan had no weaknesses.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, got rid of Kobe and then caught the ball.
Kobe had guarded very carefully, but there was indeed a gap in speed.
The ball goes in.
125 to 115.
The Lakers attack, but Kobe hasn't given up yet.
Although he knew that there was little hope and had already lost many times, he still took action without hesitation when faced with this situation again.
The ball goes in.
"ah!"
Kobe shook his fist and roared, venting his unhappiness.
Outsiders may not know how much he hates Zhang Zhiyuan now. On the one hand, he is suppressed by Zhang Zhiyuan, and on the other hand, in order to divorce him, Vanessa bluntly stated that she did not like him during the quarrel, and the person she liked was Zhang Zhiyuan.
This was definitely a 999999 critical hit. Kobe was quite restrained even without taking any action at that time, which was much better than what Iverson and others did.
So excited to score a two-point goal?
Zhang Zhiyuan despises him very much.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan once again showed his strength and shot a three-pointer.
The ball went in again.
God was on Zhang Zhiyuan's side today. He obviously didn't use props, but he still shot a superb three-pointer.
128 to 117, Lakers offense.
Kobe caught the ball after running without the ball and hit the ball.
The Clippers counterattacked, the Lakers double-teamed, and Zhang Zhiyuan retreated directly. Kobe and Artest followed closely, not giving Zhang Zhiyuan a chance.
It's a pity that this year's Clippers are no longer the same as last year's Clippers. They have become stronger.
Lowry and the others were playing four-on-three. Lowry broke through to attract the attention of the Lakers players, and then threw the ball to the open Milicic.
Milicic hit a jumper.
130 to 119, 2 minutes left.
Chasing 11 points in two minutes is theoretically possible.
Bobby did not give up and continued to let the main force fight.
The Lakers attacked and Kobe missed a three-pointer.
Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a tip-in.
The Clippers attack and Zhang Zhiyuan controls the time.
Kobe's pressing was fruitless, and 20 seconds were lost.
What made the Lakers vomit blood even more was that Maggette made a shot after receiving the pass.
Some fans who were disappointed with the Lakers had already stood up. Some fans in front of the TV had turned off the TV or changed the channel in anger.
I have been looking forward to the Lakers' rise. After looking forward to it for so long, they still can't beat the Clippers. It's sad to watch.
The Lakers attack, Bynum catches the ball and lays up, and Milicic fouls him.
Bynum made one of two free throws.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to waste time.
In fact, he can attack normally, and the Lakers will have no chance of comeback.
However, he chose to waste time, which was even more heart-wrenching.
Kobe could only hold back his anger.
Seeing that time was almost up, Zhang Zhiyuan casually threw a three-pointer and missed.
But it doesn't matter, there are only 40 seconds left in the game and a 10-point lead, unless Kobe has a Tracy McGrady moment.
Kobe really had this plan. After catching the ball, he threw a long three-pointer and almost made it.
It can be seen that his long-range shooting feeling has indeed improved a lot, but it is not enough.
Lakers fans couldn't help but let out a sigh.
They were sure that Kobe had become stronger, but he still couldn't beat Zhang Zhiyuan, which was very annoying.
Milicic picked off the rebound and the Clippers stopped attacking. The Lakers also gave up pressing and did not foul. They just stood there and waited for the game to end.
The attack time ran out and the ball went to the Lakers. Fisher also let the time run out and did not attack again.
The game is over.
132 to 122, the Clippers defeated the Lakers by 10 points and won their first win of the season.
