Chapter 317 Clippers vs. Lakers

…

"This much-anticipated game has finally begun, let's take a look at the lineups of both sides. The Clippers' lineup is No. 11 center Yao Ming, No. 19 power forward Pau Gasol, and No. 32 small forward Quentin. Richardson, it looks like Corey Maggette hasn't recovered from his knee injury, and Larry Brown has chosen No. 19 Quentin Richardson to start." Kevin Harland said.

"Last season, Quentin Richardson averaged 17.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 70 games. What's more important is that he can make three points more effectively than Corey Maggette. Enriching the Clippers' offense. And he's healthier than the opponent. Larry Brown's choice is not surprising." Mike Brin followed up.

"That's right. If I were the Clippers head coach, I'd make the same choice. ... Look at the Clippers shooting guard and point guard, No. 1 Chauncey Billups and No. 5. No. Jason Kidd. Needless to say, Kidd has been the best point guard in the league since he entered the league in '94. In contrast, Chauncey such as Puth is more surprising, in the Orlando Magic , Minnesota Timberwolves and other teams, he was just a water cooler guard with a 'parallel import'. The average score in one season was only eight or nine points. But after moving to the Clippers, it suddenly broke out. Last season, 82 games averaged 12.5 points, 5.8 assists, impressive!"

"More than that, in the first round of the playoffs between the Clippers and the Rockets last season, his buzzer-beater goal at a critical moment showed a different calm. It was this goal that allowed the Clippers to finish with a clean 4 : 0 into the second round of the playoffs."

After a brief introduction to the Clippers players, the two commentators immediately introduced the Lakers after expressing their feelings for the Clippers.

"The Lakers' lineup is as expected, center Shaquille O'Neal at No. 34, shooting guard Kobe Bryant at No. 24, power forward Rick Fox at No. 18, small forward Devin George at No. 33, and guard at No. 2. Ball guard Derek Fisher. Except for the center and the point, the Lakers feel weaker than the Clippers in all three positions." Kevin Harland said.

"Indeed, but it's not necessarily a good thing that all five positions are top players. After all, in a 45-minute game, the ball and the number of shots are counted. If each position is strong, it will be difficult to distribute the ball. "Mike Brindow.

"Yeah. But I don't think it's too much of a problem for Kidd. He's a top point guard who likes to share the ball and can mobilize the team."

…

"On the evening of October 17th, at 20:10, the first game of the NBA regular season between the Lakers and the Clippers officially started. No accident, Yao and O'Neal stood on the midfield line together. Yao, No. 11, has a height of 226 cm. The height, O'Neal wearing the No. 34 jersey is only 216 cm, and the height difference of 10 cm is not the same level. However, whether or not to earn basketball depends on the timing of both sides in addition to external conditions!"

"The referee threw the ball! ... Yao, Yao Li from China beat the Sharks to grab the ball. ... No. 11 center Yao Ming, he was just selected by the Clippers as the No. 1 pick this year. Judging from the performance of the opponent just now, he Be worthy of your number one spot!"

"Yes, looking at this excellent Chinese, the Rockets should regret it now. If there was no transaction last year, this number one pick should be theirs. Yao is the most suitable successor for the Rockets after Olajuwon."

After George Harlan nodded in agreement, "The Clippers really did a good business, look at Yao, and look at Lamar Odom and Darius Miles who were traded by them. The performance of the season. The former uses drugs, fights, and has constant trouble, and the latter has constant injuries."

"Indeed, the Clippers made a profit from this transaction. In addition to the competition, the huge Chinese sports market brought by Yao is enough to make the Clippers management smile."

"Yeah. Last season, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times also ridiculed the Clippers owner for being stupid and not knowing how to run an NBA team. But look at Yao, Mehmet Okur, Jia What Sol and Billups did, it was definitely the greatest trade in league history."

"So now they rarely publish positive news about the Clippers!"

Mike Brin nodded and continued: "Bruce Guo is really a genius. Whether it is running a team or running a business such as the Internet and energy, he has achieved amazing performance."

"His financial achievements are truly admirable!"

"That's right. But I haven't heard any news about him in the media recently?"

"Indeed. But such big shots aren't Hollywood stars, and unless they want to, the media won't be able to reach them."

At this time, Guo Shouyun, who was sitting in the stands, did not know that he was becoming the target of others talking about. After a year of seclusion in his own world, he is watching the game below with gusto. The feeling of watching football live is really different from watching it on TV. Compared with the latter, the former is more able to mobilize people's emotions, especially when there are real fans around.

"Yao Ming **** him, give that black fat man a big hat!"

Glancing at Liu Hongchuan, who was dancing beside him and was more anxious than the master, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Judging from the limited duels on the court now, Yao Ming, who has just joined in, is undoubtedly a newcomer compared to the old fritters who have been in the NBA for many years. Neither side is at the same level in terms of experience or technology. Fortunately, the advantage of height and arm length does not really make O'Neal press and fight. Coupled with the help of Pau Gasol, the Clippers' inside line is not as stable as Taishan, but it can also be on an equal footing with the Lakers who own O'Neal.

After one quarter, Yao Ming was replaced by Memet Okur. Except for physical concerns. It is not conducive to his growth to let a rookie be always pressed and beaten.

Kidd was also replaced with him. His foot injury was just right, and now he is in a state of search.

After Kidd's position, Billups moved to the point guard position, and Mobley, the best sixth man traded from the Rockets, played the shooting guard instead of Billups.

Purely on the ball and controlling the rhythm of the court, Billups is not as good as Kidd, but he is also first-class. So things aren't chaotic for the Clippers. The positional battle was still vigorous, and the score with the Lakers rose alternately.

"Di Di...!"

The buzzer rang through the audience, sounding the horn for the start of the fourth quarter.

"The fourth quarter started, and the main players from both sides returned to the court. Now the score is 92:85, and the Lakers are 7 points behind! O'Neal left the court in the third quarter, and the Lakers' inside line was completely overwhelmed by the Clippers. Yao and Memet Okur teamed up for 16 points! These two Clippers' rookie insiders are amazing."

"Yes, the Clippers' starting lineup and the strength of their bench players are better than the Lakers. The 'old cat' Mobley who belongs to the panacea, let Kidd, such as Puth and Quentin Richardson, get There is a rest period. Now the Clippers are at their peak in terms of physical strength and ability. In contrast, the Lakers' main force Kobe has played three consecutive quarters, supporting the Clippers' crazy attack alone, consuming a lot of his physical strength. Although Now that O'Neal is back, it's questionable how much support a tired Kobe can provide to the Lakers' perimeter!"

Looking at the Lakers who seemed to be under pressure, Kevin Harlan solemnly said, "This year's Clippers are really strong!"

Although Mike Breen didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement.

The further back the game is, the stronger the test of the team's overall strength. In terms of starting, the Clippers are not inferior to the Lakers. But in terms of bench depth, except for Robert Horry who can play, the Lakers are worse than the Clippers with 'Old Cat' Mobley, Memet Okur, and Quentin Richardson Too far.

Therefore, the result now is that the main players of the Clippers who have been fully rested are vigorous on the court, and their speed and footsteps are no less than the first quarter. But the Lakers except O'Neal and Robert Horry, who came off the bench, were all out of breath. Especially with Kobe Bryant, who played Chauncey Billups, this feeling is even stronger.

Looking at the guy with an expressionless face, squatting down, and staring at his footsteps and hands with open hands, Kobe frowned. He could feel that the defense was stronger and harder to deal with than last season. However, he is not someone who gives up easily!

"Clap...!"

The speed of the basketball in his hand is getting faster and faster~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The right shoulder swayed, and after making a fake move to the left, the whole person jumped back like lightning, and the high basketball aimed at the basket in the distance. However, Billups was not deceived by fake moves. Of course, the difference in height, coupled with the difficulty of leaning back, makes such a shot difficult to defend. But it is not impossible.

Just as Kobe threw the basketball out, five thick black fingers fiercely poked his eyes. People who are casual will be startled by such actions, but Kobe, who is often dealt with like this in the NBA, has enough experience and strong nerves. However, for example, Puth's vicious aura still affected Kobe, whose physical strength was declining.

"boom…!"

Unsurprisingly, the basketball popped out to the left as soon as it hit the basket.

At this time, the great shark with amazing physique was at the peak of his career, and his thick black arm firmly blocked Yao Ming from behind him.

However, even so, the expression on his face was not easy. Because he knows very well that Rick Fox is no match for Gasol at all. This also means that if he wants to grab the rebound, in addition to dealing with the tenacious Chinese rookie behind him, he must also prevent Gasol's sneak attack.

"The basketball is mine!"

The same belief drove the two huge guys to jump with all their might.
