The Los Angeles Clippers, because of the addition of Paul, suddenly changed from the tail of the 10,000-year crane to the Western powerhouse, but it was only a powerhouse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is still some distance from the real first-class team.

Because, they have never touched the floor of Xidu.

This also invisibly dragged down Chris. Paul's historical position as the god of efficiency.

However, the Lakers are not qualified to talk about the next door this season, because their record is so bad that it is difficult to say whether they can even make the playoffs. But this game was still arranged by ESPN to be broadcast live in the United States, after all, the "star flavor" of these two teams is still very good, which is enough to increase the "weight of improvement" in the ratings.

But it's only ESPN 2 that broadcasts, because ESPN's one is going to broadcast the Heat's game against the Thunder, which is what is widely believed to be a preview of this season's Finals.

"Tonight's game is nothing for the Clippers, but for the Lakers, it's a life-and-death game." Moderator: Jay. Williams thought he was humorous: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, the next six or seven games, for the Los Angeles Lakers, should be a battle of life and death, right?" Two gentlemen? ”

ESPN's guest tonight is Isaiah. Thomas and "Big Bird" Larry. Bird.

The latter is a naked "lake black", so he said: "Of course, the Lakers' luxury lineup this season has played like this, and there is no one in the history of the league." But they've always liked superstar stacking, haven't they? Bird's ridicule of the Lakers is extremely normal for everyone, because he is a "rooted" Celtic, and even publicly said that he hates yellow and purple, so the "lake black" factor is absolutely deep in the bone marrow.

The "black and white competition" in the 80s was also the biggest gimmick of the NBA that year, and he said it without any problem at all.

Just like "Magic" Johnson can't see the green,-for-tat, which has been a habit for many years.

Naturally, ESPN invited him to do this.

It's a pity Larry. Bird forgot that if you want to talk about superstars and superstars, they are no different in Boston's history, and they really have nothing to be proud of with the Lakers. Isaiah. Thomas didn't have such an obvious inclination, but just opened his mouth to analyze: "From the point of view of paper strength, the Lakers are superior, but from the perspective of real records, the Clippers are superior, I don't think the two teams are so far apart, the Lakers are somewhat disadvantaged, but there is still hope of victory." ”

"Advantages? Their only advantage is the No. 2 position? Right? "Jay. Williams interjected.

"Not really." Isaiah. Thomas said: "Actually, the Lakers also have an advantage on the inside, which is Mike. D'Antoni is not very good at using interior players, and the Lakers are overly reliant on Dwight. Howard's low singles, I don't think it's a good idea! Because from the perspective of big data, Howard's low-post back-to-back singles are ...... efficiency Well, not high. So I think it might as well have Howard come up with more pick-and-rolls, as in Orlando, and that might be a little bit better. ”

"Not high? It's the penultimate one, right? "Larry. Bird was a generation of "kings of forced kings" when he was a player, so he said mercilessly: "To be honest, I never thought he was the league's No. 1 center, the league's No. 1 center has been broken since Shaq and Yao, and the current No. 1 center is forcibly appropriated by the media, and it is not a minority." "Larry. Bird, a proper all-time top 10 player, so he has few scruples, but Thomas can't, who just smiled and changed the subject: "Anyway, I think Mike. D'Antoni didn't find the right way to use Howard and Gasol, otherwise the power of the twin towers alone would have been enough to ensure the Lakers finish in the top eight in the West. ”

"Mike. D'Antoni is okay to play small ball, but if you really want him to win the championship, then the Lakers definitely think too much, if I were the general manager of the Lakers, I would definitely choose Phil. Jackson instead of Mike. D'Antoni's. As you know, I personally don't like Phil. "Hearing this, Jay, who has never had a sense of existence. Williams suddenly forcibly interjected: "I don't know how the two of you predict the battle situation tonight?" Is it the Clippers or the Clippers? ”

He forced a lame humor again.

Larry. Bird replied very directly, saying: "Of course I support the Clippers, come on, when have I supported the Lakers?" When did 'The Magic' support Boston, you ask? This is the glorious tradition of every true Celtic. "Isaiah. Thomas said: "I also support the Clippers, the Lakers' book lineup is very good, but unfortunately from the head coach to the players, there is no chemistry and no cohesion, such a team, even if the book lineup is twice as strong, it is difficult to be optimistic." ”

"HA~2-0, the Lakers are estimated to be hanging in this game, and they have repeatedly lost to the hands of sworn enemies in the same city this season. What about a kind of irony in Bath? "Jay. Williams said: "I hope the Purple and Gold can work hard to make the game not go into garbage time too early!" ”

ESPN's Black Lakers are black addicted this season, from the head coach to the star, from the main team to the bench, from tactics to chemistry, there is simply nothing ESPN can't hack! In addition to the Liangzi with Old Buss and Kobe, the Lakers are "traffic bulls" this season, so as long as it is a report about the Lakers, even if the content of the article is not clear, it has a good reading volume, which makes the ESPN personnel unhappy and excited?

As a result, it became more and more black.

Unlike the domestic media, the United States and the domestic media can bring subjectivity and individuality to almost everything, except for some major national events, after all, this is also a kind of embodiment of "freedom" and "human rights".

The Clippers overtook the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time this season, and the pride in their hearts, needless to say, so many players expressed their expectations for the playoffs and their yearning for the championship, but as for the Lakers, few people mentioned it. As if, deliberately ignoring it, it shows a kind of contempt and contempt.

And the game slogan used by the Clippers this season also made Kobe Bryant angry.

"What are we ???"

“LAC！！！”

"What are we ???"

“LAC！！！”

"What are we ???"

“WE.ARE.LA！！！”

LAC is an abbreviation for the Clippers and LAL for the Lakers, but the last sentence, WE.ARE.LA, means "We are Los Angeles." C is directly omitted, and its ambition and its implication are overflowing. And WE.ARE.LA this sentence has always been the Lakers' "special game slogan" before, and the Clippers have never had the confidence to shout it, but since some fans chanted loudly this season, gradually, the Clippers have also been exposed to it and began to use this cheering slogan.

However, in the face of the Lakers' public shouting before the game, it was the first time in decades.

So all of a sudden, some Lakers fans at the scene were angry, and in the end, a small clash between the two sides brewed, but fortunately, the security measures at the Staples Center were very appropriate, so it didn't take long to be controlled and eliminated. But because of this small incident, the atmosphere of the entire Lakers team was depressed, including the No. 24 of the "Lakers for Life", whose face was suddenly dark and gloomy.

Tang Qian didn't quite understand No. 24's feelings now, but many years later, he would be able to empathize.

One person, one city, twenty years unchanged, all the youth, all the green, all the blood, all stayed in this team, that sense of honor and sacredness, by no means an overnight "mercenary" can be compared.

So in the first quarter, Kobe Bryant was full of firepower and scored 15 points in a single quarter. But this point is not terrible in the eyes of the Clippers, because under the leadership of Paul, the Clippers scored 38 points in the first quarter, which made the Lakers' defense completely lost. Howard's performance is also acceptable, and he seems to have been quite experienced against Jordan Jr., and he has a huge advantage in his career. "Warcraft" also scored 11 points in a single quarter, but the Lakers only scored 29 points in the end, because other people's shooting feel is not good. Including Steve, who is known for his stability. Nash, who only made 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, hit a three-pointer.

Gasol made 0 of 4 shots in the high jumper, which seemed to be a lot of shots, but they were not his forte, and he didn't feel good tonight, so the shooting percentage was quite ugly.

This season, the Lakers have not had a good way to deal with athletic teams, and the Clippers are now known as the "empty city", so athleticism naturally goes without saying. Jordan Jr.'s physical fitness alone is not necessarily worse than that of the peak Howard. Not to mention there's a Griffin, Caron. Butler, Wiley. Green, both are very physical players.

Plus there's also point guard guru Chris. Paul threads the needle, so in terms of athletic ability, they are only stronger than the Denver people, not weaker.

However, Tang Qian came on the court in the second quarter, which made them suffer a little, especially this season Griffin has not practiced mid-range shooting, and he is still a "jumping man", and their sports tactics have been greatly curbed by the former. As for Jordan Jr.? Please, can he fight Tang Qian alone? That's pure abuse, isn't it?

Therefore, with 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single quarter, coupled with countless powerful interference under the basket, the Clippers' offense in this quarter was a mess. Not Chris. There was a problem with Paul's passing, Paul's pass was as accurate and timely as ever, but at the end of the inside, the Clippers were interfered too much by the Lakers' No. 29, so the score couldn't go up.

The Lakers went 28-20 in the first quarter, narrowing the gap by 8 points.

At 57-58 at halftime, they went into the Staples locker room just one point behind.

In the second half, Howard was a bit of a "shameful and courageous" meaning, and began to frequently attack in the low post. Paul did it. A vicious foul sent Howard directly to the free throw line.

The head coach of the Clippers these seasons is not so much Pooh. De Nagro, or rather, the head coach is Chris. Paul, because in LeBron. James "accomplished" Mike. Brown and David. After Blatter, there is another person who has also made the head coach the "Chris. Paul's chief assistant coach", he is the head coach of the Clippers in recent seasons, Pooh. De Nagro.

In fact, this can be seen from his playing career, Pooh. De Nagro is not tall, at 193cm, but he has been a score-oriented guard throughout his career. This seems to be a bit incompatible with Paul's "assist first" and "pass first". So when the Clippers were out of the first round again this season, Pooh Brown. De Nagro's head coach position is also at the head, and there is no talk of returning to the NBA for at least five years.

Howard was still very competitive with free throws this time, hitting 2 of 2 free throws, but after Paul explained, the second time he pulled people inside, Howard only had 1 of 2 free throws left. Then Howard became more and more angry, and the Clippers were vicious on the inside anyway, not allowing you to score smoothly.

If you want to score, well, I'll send you to a more comfortable and spacious free throw line, if you can score a free throw line.

It is said that it is a "shark cut" tactic, but this tactic does not seem to have been greatly affected in O'Neal's career, because just like O'Neal himself said, even if he usually makes bad free throws, the more critical and important the time, the more accurate he will make free throws, and the less he will let the opponent's conspiracy succeed. In fact, looking at O'Neal's free throws at key moments in key games, it is indeed very competitive, so the "shark chopping" tactic has never had a strong effect on O'Neal.

But it's different with Howard, who is said to be training free throws and shooting more than 80 percent, which is far better than O'Neal, but when it comes to the game, he has to drop the chain. And the most terrible thing is that the more critical he is, the more he can't score free throws, which also makes the "shark cutting tactic" really shine on him.

This was the case in the last 2012-2013 season, and in this 2012-2013 season, there were always a lot of Lakers players who were stupid at the "Warcraft" free throws in the offensive round. This is undoubtedly a huge negative impact on the rhythm of the game, the smoothness of the game, and the competitive state of the body. After the opponent stops "chopping", often the feel and competitive state of the Lakers players have cooled down, and it is difficult to focus on the game in an instant.

Not everyone can maintain Kobe's perverted focus, this is talent, even throughout the history of the NBA, only Chicago's No. 23 can match him. The rest of them are one or even several notches worse.

Sure enough, under Howard's massive free throws in the third quarter, the Lakers' offensive state, fragmented, and 13 points in a single quarter is the best evidence. You must know that the Lakers are a team that can average 102 points per game this season, and 13 points in a single quarter is indeed too little. The Clippers took the opportunity to play a "wave of flow", scoring another 35 points in a single quarter, and finally led 93-70 and 23 points into the fourth quarter.

This huge lead also made the Staples Center Clippers fans emotional, and the "WE.ARE.LA" continued to echo in the stadium full of Lakers' retired jerseys.
