Chapter 381: Losing Knows Preciousness

After the championship ring awarding ceremony, the match between the two sides will begin.

In the case of Kobe Bryant's reimbursement and Li Liang's departure, the Lakers still tried their best to replenish personnel.

At the forward position, the Lakers signed Nick Young with a base salary in the summer to make up for the three-point gap after Li Liang's departure.

On the back line, veteran Jordan Farmar was signed.

Farmar was the hero of the Lakers' two-game winning streak that year, and then left the NBA without a job after playing for two years with the New Jersey Nets.

This year, the Lakers, who are old clubs, re-signed him to fill the Lakers' guard line and wait for Kobe Bryant's return.

In addition, Nash continued to stay, and Jermaine O'Neal had nothing to ask for post-championship honors, so he chose the Golden State Warriors, who could offer a bigger contract.

In addition to that, the Lakers kept the core roster from last season, and now the absolute core of the team is finally Howard.

Last season's Lakers, the honor of the regular season was attributed to Kobe, and the glory of the playoffs was given to Li Liang.

But Howard's role is still not negligible.

He propped up the Lakers on the defensive end and used his interior advantage in the Finals to give the Heat a big blow.

It can be said that in the finals, Howard can be ranked in the top three.

Besides, Howard is still young, so the Lakers did not hesitate to give Howard a large contract with a maximum salary.

The Lakers' current salary space has completely exploded, and the mother who pays taxes doesn't know each other.

That's probably the price to pay for winning the championship.

Mike Brown was in the team's starting lineup, with a five-man duo of Howard, Tzu Shiping, Nick Young, Meeks and Nash.

Pau Gasol continues to stay on the bench, and Gasol has become accustomed to the position of sixth man.

On the Clippers' side, after Li Liang got the championship ring, he first returned to the bench and showed off to everyone.

See, my brother is a person with a championship ring, follow my brother and teach you how to win the championship.

The starters used by Rivers are Paul, Griffin, Jordan Jr., Li Liang plus Caron Butler.

The addition of Li Liang has made up for the shortcomings of the Clippers' front, but whether the effect is good or not, do not look at the advertisement to see the curative effect.

A new season has begun, and it's another year of journey.

Howard and Jordan Jr. jump the ball in the center circle.

Jordan Jr. was the first to dial the ball, and the Clippers' offensive opportunity began.

Everyone's eyes are glued to the venue or the TV, and many people want to see what changes Li Liang will bring to the Clippers.

Also, how much has Li Liang's ball skills improved?

Throughout the month of October, Li Liang's performance in the pre-season attracted a lot of interest.

Including fans, ball critics, and the media, they are all speculating that Li Liang has developed a ball-handling offense and will play the role of an organizer in the new season.

Of course, there are also many people who think that it is unlikely, and the attack and organization with the ball are not so easy to develop.

Li Liang's destination is still a superb 3-and-D player, and his three-point shot will greatly extend the offensive space of the Clippers and give Griffin and Jordan Jr. more offensive opportunities.

At the beginning of the game, Paul took the ball, and just after halftime, he immediately gave the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang dribbled to the right 45-degree three-point line, and it was Nick Young who defended him.

Nick Young's defense is basically no different from poking a stake in front of him.

So, while Nick Young has excellent three-point shooting and a very good offensive feel, he just can't stay on a team for long, always wandering around, being treated like a patch.

His defense doesn't have any oppression, not to mention ****, at least in terms of attitude.

Of course, if someone comes to throw three points with a basic salary, they can't ask for ...... No, Li Liang's salary was lower before!

It can only be said that people are different.

Li Liang's first ball, 45 degrees outside the three-point line, directly hung to the inside.

It was Ci Shiping who defended Griffin, Ci Shiping chose to go around the front defense, but Griffin made a back cut, and after receiving Li Liang's pass, he burst out directly outside the three-second zone and dunked with one hand!

The Clippers' first shot of the new season!

Li Liang's assist, Griffin's violent dunk.

This is very fast, but the person who passed the ball in the past was Paul, and this time it was replaced by Li Liang.

Li Liang and Griffin high-fived each other, and it felt good to cooperate for the first time.

After coming to the Clippers, one of the changes that Li Liang had to make in passing the ball was to be more bold.

Before doing a strategic pass in the Lakers, the Lakers are not the kind of flying style of play, and the positional offense is more delicate.

Therefore, the passing requirements are safe and precise, including the hanging pass to Howard, which must be comfortably stuffed into Howard's hands, so that he can eat the opponent at a good pace.

The Clippers are different, Griffin and Jordan Jr. are both very physical players, so you must throw the ball over as soon as you have the opportunity.

Even if it's a little bigger, it doesn't matter, they can run and jump, and they can solve the problem.

This passing habit, Li Liang spent a month to adjust and change, and I feel that there should be no big problem.

When it came to the Lakers' offense, Nash made a block with Howard on the outside and went down.

Then a high toss wanted to give Howard an empty catch.

As a result, Li Liang came over from the flank to assist in the defense and interfered with the pass in the air.

Howard didn't catch the ball in the air, and the ball flew straight to the basket and bounced off the neck of the basket.

Paul grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Clippers had a chance to fight back.

Also in the half, Paul passed the ball to Li Liang, who continued to take the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, and then Griffin was in the low post on the right side.

Just like the last attack, this time Ci Shiping did not go around the front, and his back was one-on-one.

After Griffin received Li Liang's pass, he forced Ci Shiping with his back, and after turning around, he made a small hook shot!

Griffin's little arm, although it is a hook hand, is not high enough.

Howard, who was made up, slapped the hat off!

But the referee blew Howard for the interference ball.

This ball is replaced by the peak Howard, which is probably a catch.

The current Howard, even after a summer of recovery, can't return to the top.

Howard shook his head helplessly, to be honest, if Li Liang defended this ball, it would be difficult for Griffin to get the ball in such a deep position.

was hit twice by Griffin in a row, and both of them were passed by Li Liang.

The mentality of Lakers fans is starting to change a little now.

Damn, this No. 28 was supposed to be our man, the best player to defend Griffin.

Now it's good to go to the Clippers and deliver shells to Griffin.

started with a 4:0, and then Howard beat Jordan Jr. inside, dribbling to the basket and squeezing the basket, trying to force a layup.

As a result, Howard couldn't squeeze Jordan Jr. away, and his layup was interfered with.

Howard's body is still not back to its best.

Ci Shiping got the frontcourt rebound, passed the ball to the outside, and Nash shot in a big open position outside the three-point line!

The fans waited for the "swish", but the ball smashed into the front of the basket and missed.

The ball is short.

As the summer passed, Nash's form slipped further.

Because of his body and the fact that he has won the championship, Nash can't train like crazy anymore.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound and dribbled himself.

He first sped past Nash - there was no difference between passing Nash and passing a stake anyway.

Then another change of direction passed Nick Young — another stake.

Li Liang dribbled and rushed to the basket by himself, but there was no one under the Lakers' basket.

Li Liang jumped up and won a violent buckle with one hand!

"Oh~"

The whole Staples was amazed, and there was amazement in it.

A summer has passed, will this kid hold the ball and break fast?

What exactly did the Los Angeles Lakers lose this summer?

It didn't take long for Lakers fans to know what they were throwing away.

Tzu Shiping had a three-point shot in the bottom left corner.

Ci Shiping three-point shot!

missed, and the ball smashed into the neck of the basket.

Howard grabbed the rebound and passed it back to Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping was in the same position, he didn't move his nest, and he shot again!

The fans at the scene were expectant, but they didn't wait for the goal, but waited for a bridge crossing......

The second ball, I didn't even touch the basket.

Griffin directly picked up a backcourt rebound.

Of the three three-pointers in the opening game, the Lakers missed one.

Last season was not like this, and the bottom left corner was the Lakers' sweet spot.

How many games opened, and Li Liang's three-point shot opened the chrysanthemum face?

This time it's good, the bottom corner of the left side is stunned to throw a three.

No way, Ci Shiping's three-point shot last season was not good, and this season will only get worse.

The Clippers counterattacked, the ball finally reached Paul's hand, and Paul went directly to the basket in the middle and gave the ball to Jordan Jr. at the bottom.

Jordan Jr. received the ball and wanted to be strong, but Howard knocked the ball away.

But the ball still fell into Paul's hands, and Paul went around the baseline and shot from mid-distance!

Didn't go in.

In the first game of the season, the hands were a little raw.

But Li Liang clicked the rebound in the front court and pocketed the ball.

Then a clever back-to-back pass to Jordan Jr. under the basket, this time the Lakers' defensive attention was on Li Liang.

Little Jordan catches the ball and happily dunks it!

At 8:0, the Clippers gave the Lakers a heavy blow at the beginning, which was completely different from last season.

Mike Brown immediately called a timeout, and after the Lakers players took the ring, it seemed that the whole team was loose and lacking in fighting spirit.

On the contrary, the Clippers are in high spirits, and Li Liang has already started to spray.

"Bubble, what do you say, what ball do you pass, what do you pass! Can Jordan score that chance? Just know how many passes you are blind! CIC still can't invest in ......"

In the regular season, Paul's hard days are coming.
