Super Small Forward

"Um, Mr. Yang, what do you think of the Warriors' lineup today? I remember they didn't play like this in the national game. Did they come up with new killers against the Lakers today or they wanted to experiment with the lineup and see if they could find another way to deal with it? The Lakers?" Fatty Fan, who had just joined Penguin Sports after a'transfer', began to tempt Yang Yi to say something.

In the just-concluded offseason, the NBA official and several major television stations in the United States jointly signed a 9-year regular season broadcast contract of up to 24 billion yuan. The playoffs are not counted, and the country’s Penguin Sports signed a five-year contract. With the billion-dollar network live broadcast contract, Penguin Sports has turned the domestic NBA network broadcast into a domestic exclusive broadcast.

As the most popular network NBA commentary group in China, the fat Ke Fan and the beaten emperor Yang Yi were naturally dug over.

There is also a five-year broadcast fee of 750 million for European network and TV broadcasts, which means that the NBA's future annual broadcast revenue will exceed 3 billion US dollars, which is about four times more than last season's NBA broadcast revenue.

Last season's NBA revenue was 4.9 billion, deducting 700 million broadcast fees, or 4.2 billion.

In other words, the broadcast fee alone in the new season can reach three-quarters of the NBA's total revenue except for the broadcast fee!

After the signing of this broadcast agreement, it marked that the NBA has changed from ticket revenue to broadcast fee revenue, which is in line with the social entertainment change that contemporary red live broadcasts are more profitable than theater performances.

Therefore, Liu Ren does not want to renew his contract this year. Before the start of the regular season last year, Forbes Sports estimated that the total revenue of the NBA last season was 4.7 billion. However, due to James' three consecutive rounds in the Eastern Conference and the 23vs24 finals, the fans gathered to complete the fans. After several years of waiting, the NBA has created an additional 200 million dollars in revenue, making this year’s salary cap more than 3 million more than expected, allowing the Lakers to successfully sign Monroe and Bi Yongbo and have not exceeded the luxury tax. At the starting point, Vicki was almost not **** off.

Because the Lakers still have a full production like this.

This total income is greatly affected by the playoffs. If this year’s playoffs are still so attractive and can be more intense, the income will definitely be more than the expected income. The signing of the contract now is the expected next season. The salary cap must be calculated on the low side, otherwise the contract will exceed the real salary cap and it will be invalid and need to be renegotiated.

Therefore, when the team renewed their contract in advance, the maximum salary was given in a low way. The income of the new season will never be lower than they expected.

Yang Yi looked at the fat man with a smirk, and really wanted to put his fist on the fat man's face, but this was a live broadcast, and he could only grit his teeth and analyze it.

Before being beaten up by the Lakers so badly, Yang Yi said in his heart that he really wanted to beat the Warriors and step on Liu Ren. This is what he should dare to.

However, Yang Yi hesitated as the representative of the villain who claimed to be drunk and alone. He really didn't know whether the warrior's move was a good move or a bad move, and according to past experience, the chance of a bad move was high.

So Yang Yi said: "I think the Warriors want to try if there is any other way to beat the Lakers. After all, they almost didn't fight back in the playoffs last year."

"Then what do you think of this change for the Warriors? Do they have a chance to beat the Lakers? Will this change work?"

Yang Yi secretly scolded the fat man as awkward, he could only gritted his teeth and said: "I don't think the chance is big. The Lakers are also a representative team of the smaller lineup. They used Green to play forwards and Liu Ren to play power forwards. I think they should have a lot of experience to deal with the Warriors' response to this change."

"..."

"..."

The preseason was mainly broadcast live, but TV live broadcasts were basically absent. Just when Yang Yi bit the bullet and analyzed that the Warriors might not be the Lakers opponents, the game began.

Gasol walked to the center of the court excitedly, ready to jump with Randall.

Gasol is so happy!

It's finally time to win the jump ball! Gasol felt that he couldn't jump with the two-meter-three Bogut, but Randall, who is a small forward with a height of 2.06 meters, thinks he can always jump and win, right?

The fans are also looking forward to it, and Gasol received cheers when he came on the field.

Not to mention, Lakers fans still love their players, and don't want to watch Gasol always get crit by opponents during the jump ball.

However, when the referee's whistle sounded, Gasol leaped up and stretched out his hand to the ball... Another stronger and darker hand appeared above Gasol!

Randall's jumping explosiveness was too strong, and he threw the ball from Gasol's head to Curry.

The Warriors first attacked. As soon as Randall moved the ball to the rear, the rest of the Warriors had already started to go down. After landing, Randall pounced on the front like a cheetah. Curry was unlucky after receiving the ball. , Threw directly to the Lakers basket, Thompson received the ball and kept the ball up and down, and Randle caught up with the dunk.

"#@%@&……"

The fans and Lakers players on the scene scolded their own mantra. This scene seems familiar, but the protagonist has become an opponent!

Just like the three-second fast break when the Lakers had a rare chance to win a jump ball before, the opponents were undefeated and didn't expect it. This time the Lakers didn't expect it, basically just watching the Warriors finish the fast break. Everyone was stunned!

D'Antoni’s eyes are wide. He often walks along the river. He often imitates and learns his opponent’s offensive routines and incorporates his own tactics, allowing his opponents to find their own loopholes. This time he has become a sacrifice for this style of play. !

D'Antoni stared at Luke Wharton next to the Warriors bench. Wharton seemed to feel D'Antoni's gaze and used a dry cough to cover up his embarrassment.

D'Antoni saw this scene and guessed that someone had brought this concept to the Warriors, and this person was the young assistant who knew the Lakers very well and went to the Warriors to study this year.

After the first round of the playoffs last year, the last thing D'Antoni didn't want to meet in the second round was the Spurs. He was very worried about Walton in the Spurs. Can the Lakers have any secrets? Before Wharton went to the Spurs in the summer of 2014, he discussed with D'Antoni about the Lakers' offensive system for the second year...

But for Wharton's approach, D'Antoni didn't feel wrong about it. Isn't it that when a coach switched from the Spurs to the Hawks, he was not allowed to play the Spurs system? The Spurs head coach Budenholzer and Raptors head coach Casey did not rely on the Spurs system to become famous! And everyone praised it!

The Warriors who may continue to improve this year have already made D'Antoni feel difficult to deal with. Now the other side is very familiar with him. Originally, D'Antoni admired Walton's coaching talent very much, and now Walton is not only with him. Years of study, and still apprenticeship with Vitch, and D'Antoni knows very well that Wharton may not have learned all the things from his coach, but he must have learned what he wants. He doesn’t think about himself. What you learn will never choose to leave.

Now the Warriors will be more difficult to deal with, a young coach who has the best of Zen Master, Vicki, and D'Antoni...

However, although the Warriors are difficult to deal with, D'Antoni is still confident. As long as there are no major accidents, the Lakers' advantage is still obvious. The Warriors can’t beat the Lakers’ one cut is the rotation lineup. For the Warriors, the starting lineup becomes five and no more than two. Mi 06 players, and in the summer spent 2 years and 16 million contracts with player options to dig out Jason Thompson, the king’s old general, just to enhance the bench.

This dead five is sent out, and a new player is used to replace the starting lineup, then Bogut will enter the rotation lineup, and has not used the originally stable second team to top the starting lineup, but instead used Bogut as a replacement. The big and often injured Azeri, the Warriors' bench lineup has instantly increased a lot. As the goalkeeper of the No. 1 pick, Bogut is not too worthy of this pick, but at least he has a lot of substitutes compared to most of the league's backup forwards. Big advantage.

Although the Warriors have changed a little, D'Antoni may feel pressured, but D'Antoni is now more interested in how long Wharton can hollow out Steve Kerr? Thinking of this, D'Antoni instantly felt less uncomfortable for Walton to go to the Lakers' possible worst enemy in the new season, but some small expectations.

...

...

The five deaths of the Warriors. The Lakers thought that their defense would be a big problem. The height of the inside line was too short. Just when the Lakers were about to play Gasol, Clarkson, who held the ball, Found that Gasol couldn't get in at all!

Jason Thompson is like a meat pile.

Liu Ren saw Jason Thompson, who was out of shape, and remembered that this guy was a lottery pick in 2008. He scored 11.7 points and 8.4 rebounds in his rookie year. Because he was only the 12th pick and he was big. Part of the time is on the bench, averaging only 24 minutes per game. The Kings feel like they have found a treasure. This is still a rookie year.

Tristan Thompson, who just signed a five-year contract with a high price of 85 million this summer, averaged only 8+8 per game last season...

Pay attention to Jason Thompson, precisely because Liu Ren saw Tristan Thompson sign a five-year and 85 million weird renewal contract in his last life. He wanted to find out who Thompson was, and then saw that he only took 800. Jason Thompson with a salary of 10,000.

However, Jason Thompson, who averaged 11+8 minutes per game in 24 minutes per game in his rookie year, surged to 32 minutes per game in the second year, but the data is still the same, only 12+9, 11+9 in the third year, fourth. Years 12+8...No matter how much playing time, he has the same data. The King's reflex arc is long enough, and the rookie contract has been played before he discovered that he is a 22-year-old graduate. The technical maturity and strength have reached the level of the rookie when Duncan entered the league. The pinnacle of mature players should go to the championship team to play.

Liu Ren also felt that Jason Thompson was really a pity. In 2008, the NBA film melee, the Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, Hornets, Rockets, Trail Blazers in the West, Cavaliers, Pistons, Celtics in the East …There are many championship teams, and many teams are short of power forwards, but at that time he was held in the hands of the Kings, and now there is a super strong Lakers in the NBA, two top strong teams, Cavaliers and Warriors. Others don't see the possibility of a championship, even if the Spurs and Knicks look good, but in fact they are not really regarded as favorites for the championship, the lineup has yet to be tested.

And Jason Thompson, who has passed his peak years, has also become a fat uncle, a flexible and fat man.

Jason Thompson squatted on the inside like a meat pile. Gasol just couldn't get in. Randall played the role of Liu Ren on the Lakers' side to help defend him, covering up his poor single-defense ability. And the advantages of strong mobility and good defense awareness are shown.

Although Barnes on the outside is not a good defensive player, he is not bad. It is possible to use his height advantage to interfere with Kobe. Thompson defends Liu Ren, and Curry, who is slightly defensive black hole, is left to defend Clarkson.

D'Antoni saw the defensive system of the Warriors, and looked at Bickerstaf with a wry smile~www.wuxiaspot.com~Steve Kerr did not do this kind of learning from the opponent's defensive system last year. Things like things, as soon as Wharton went there, he took with him what he had observed from the Lakers, not to mention the appearance.

Although the Warriors have different defensive goals from the Lakers, the system is very similar.

The Lakers are good at forcing opposing ball holders to enter and then shrink double-teams. The goal of the Warriors is to give the opposing team's weakest point a chance to score.

In the eyes of the Warriors, the weakest point of the Lakers' starting lineup is of course Clarkson.

Clarkson handed the ball to Green. Green saw that there was no passing object and passed it back to Clarkson. Seeing that it was Curry who was defending himself, Clarkson decided to play alone!

Do it when it's time to do it, don't hesitate, this is what D'Antoni taught Clarkson last year.

It can be said that Curry's defense is really bad. Clarkson suddenly passed through when he changed his direction and accelerated. However, unlike the previous Curry, he would only chase desperately when he was broken. This time he ran directly towards Green. Randall, who defended Green, appeared in front of Clarkson and directly blocked Clarkson with a strong body.

I have to say that Randle deserves to be called Randolph with Odom's mobility in the draft. This is strong and fast, and his agility is not even lost to Clarkson. Clarkson can play Curry casually, but Defended to death by a guy who played forward today!

Clarkson forced a backward jumper. Just when Clarkson took it, the Warriors shrank all but Randall and Barnes grabbed a defensive rebound.

Then the Warriors quickly fought back, seizing the weakness of a seven-footer like Gasol on the Lakers' side, and quickly forming a 5-on-4 situation. In the end, Thompson had an open three-pointer in the bottom corner.

5 to 0! The Warriors started 5-0 with a small lineup!
