Chapter 1400: Who Says We Can't Do It? Did the substitutes see it?

The games of the rest of the teams in the opening game also came to an end, the Knicks were slaughtered by the Cavaliers by nearly 30 points, and James seemed to have been holding back for a long time, so a wave of triple-doubles, 19+15+15+15+2+1 led the team to victory over the Knicks. The remaining two of the Big Three also scored 20+ points. The Utah Jazz were beaten 104-113 by the Trail Blazers. Lillard was also very fierce, scoring 40 points in the first game, and Coach Lillard has been menacing this year. What is more surprising is that the "Cosmic Bravery", which won eight consecutive games in the preseason and was highly demanded, was defeated by the San Anthony Spurs in the first game. And it's not a small defeat, it's a fiasco!

A full 29 points of slaughter!

Judging from the data, the performance of "Cosmic Yong" is okay, except for the Buddha Tang God who has been relatively slow to heat, the rest are fine. Durant cut 27+10+4+2+2 data in the first game, and the shooting rate exceeded 61%! Curry also had 26 points! Green also played normally, with 18+12+6+5+1 data. Can this still be lost? The main thing is that Leonard started this season with high energy, 35+5+5+5 data, and Ade also cut 26+14 data. But on the other side is a four-star warrior, isn't it? That's not enough to be so far ahead, right? Hey, off the bench, the Spurs blew up their opponents. Popovich scored more than 60 points off the bench to kill the Warriors in one go.

This ball also made people disappointed in "Cosmic Brave", and many impatient people even directly declared that it was just another "F4". The four-star Warriors are not scary at all, and they are not team and tacit enough.

Kerr and the rest of the main stars said after the game: This is only the first game, we haven't really played yet, don't worry.

On the rest day, the Lakers had a very deep preseason mobilization meeting, not to mention the one-point victory over the Rockets, but this is not something to boast about. A narrow win by 1 point means that you are almost going to lose, will you have such good luck next time you meet the Rockets? It's hard to say. Therefore, putting away arrogance and contempt, and studying and targeting well, is the top priority at the moment.

Before, the Lakers only had "cosmic bravery" in their eyes, as if the rest of the teams were delivering food, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Such an idea is too underestimating the world's leaders.

The Rockets just gave the Lakers a wake-up call.

On October 28, the Lakers played the second game of the regular season on the road against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz's roster this year still looks more average, starting with George. Hill + Rodney. Hood + Rudy. Gopot+Burres. Dior + Shervin. Mark. No matter how you look at this lineup, it feels a bit improvised and not eye-catching at all. Hayward will miss the first week due to injury, so the Jazz will not be easy to play.

But the Lakers didn't take it lightly, they almost "fell" in the last game, and this one had to wake up, so they came to the Jazz's energy solution arena, and no one had a smile on their faces. The state of preparation is completely different from that of the opener. The Jazz team looked at it here, and they all didn't understand, are you all a little too serious with this expression?

You're the stronger one, okay?

From the very first shot, the Jazz felt a big deal about it. Hill is already running with high quality, but what about ...... What do they see? Oh my God, did the Lakers take gunpowder? What's going on? George. Hill first tried to run off the ball to the basket and was blocked, then tried to use a teammate's block to move to the left side, only to be blocked again. This is not the end, he took another bottom line and ran back, the quality is very high, and it has the meaning of getting rid of people and guarding people...... However, before he could run a few steps, the Lakers had already posted it when they switched defenses.

Still struggling? Butler almost made him almost step out of the sideline in the confrontation.

No way? Such a high defensive quality? This is the first ball.

Generally speaking, unless it is a do-or-die battle, it is basically a gradual increase in intensity, and the players themselves need a little time to get into the groove. What is this, Lakers? Pressed so hard in the first place?

Immediately, several other players on the Jazz team also felt the Lakers' "full of malice" on the defensive end.

In exchange for it, there are still people next to him, as if he can't get rid of it.

A ball clearly saw that the Lakers were ready to wrap the corner of the Jazz player Rodney. Hood wanted to split the ball and give three points to his teammates near the 45-degree angle. As soon as the ball passed, George. Hill didn't have time to make a move, and the Lakers' defense had already turned not far away. This defensive positivity, are you playing the regular season?

You're not tired, are you?

Coupled with Tang Qian + Randle's start to attack the Jazz's interior, the Lakers made 15 free throws in the first quarter.

Jazz fans are naturally dissatisfied and think that this is a "black whistle", but the fact is that the Lakers' balls are all deserved free throws. Even if it weren't for the Jazz's home court, the number of free throws would have been more, not less. What about the Jazz themselves? Under the high-intensity pressure defense of the Lakers, he actually got a pitiful 9-pointer. The Lakers scored a whopping 29 points.

He led by 20 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, because the first half of the first half was a routine bench time, the Jazz thought they could make a fuss, and the Lakers' offensive and defensive energy would decline slightly, but ...... Drop a fart. The opponent's lineup is enough to play the main force of his own team, okay? Gasol + Yi Jianlian sit on the inside, and the outside line is Beverley + Josh. Smith + Covington.

The inside and outside are very balanced, and because they have to take care of defense, they don't let Nick. Young and Pierce came up.

The two of them are better at singles, but defensively, one because of their ability and the other because of their age, they are a little lacking. However, the Lakers want Pierce to "recuperate" now. When he was really needed to lift the coffin board, it was in April of next year. Not now.

Besides, there are a lot of people who can play with the Lakers now, and Pierce can play soy sauce as much as he wants in the regular season, and just make a good living.

The playoffs are shining again. In the end, he is a year older, so if you can reduce your consumption in the regular season, you can reduce your consumption a little.

Because there are too many behind, so this quarter the Jazz can't help but send some of the main forces in advance, although their French center Gopote's ability to protect the basket has increased greatly, and Gopote's offseason has also improved a lot, but don't forget that the Lakers' bench interior is now also an All-Star center. Pau Gasol, who was an Eastern Conference All-Star last season. Sister-in-law is really enduring, not at all like the traditional European inner line, which will decline significantly at the age of 3233. In addition, the Lakers are the slow-paced style of play that he likes very much now, so there is not much decline in strength.

Last season, people were also close to 17+11+4+2 extremely all-round data, okay, tandem offensive rebounds, defensive defense and defense baskets, there are a lot of them. So it's not because the Jazz are on Goport that they are weak on the inside. Gasol is also actively playing an active role in the team, he is not greedy for offense, and now he knows what the Lakers need to do, so the main thing is to play his strong interior strategy and organization ability. Let the substitution situation also play well, so that they are not all fighting separately.

Coupled with the athleticism of this bench lineup, Josh. Smith + Covington + Beverley are both types with good physical fitness and very positive play. So it's not bad for hitting the basket after receiving the ball. Josh. Smith even completed an aerial relay with Gasol, which made the former Eagle King find the feeling of soaring in the sky again.

Gasol's pass is of a very high level, and he is worthy of being the tactical core of the Lakers' triangle offense.

This set of handwork is really strong enough.

Last year's average of 4+ assists per game was not fake, it was very hanging.

It perfectly solves the problem of the lack of playmakers and tandems in the Lakers' bench lineup.

In addition, last year, my sister-in-law was also an All-Star, so her self-attacking ability was also online, which simply made this lineup beat the head coach of the Jazz team. Schneider was going to scratch his ears and cheeks. This, this is still the bench lineup??? The defense is also strong, the offense is good, and there was an All-Star interior player last year who was willing to come over and play off the bench??? I'm simply !!

The point is that this lineup is still so cheap!! Is the Lakers' management so ruthless??? Why don't we in Salt Lake City have such a strong general manager or scout???

But I still have to play when I am depressed, and at this time, Schneider also arranged a large and four small lineup to fight against the Lakers, and I didn't expect to play at any level. But don't say it, Gobot broke out, after several seasons of precipitation, this season is finally going to soar, and he is a player who has won the first defense + second team + block king in the original time and space.

Compared with the previous lack of results, he became famous this season.

It's also the final year of his rookie contract, and it's a common occurrence in history for a contract year to explode.

He slapped the Lakers several times in a row, which suddenly boosted the morale of the Jazz team, but at this time, the Lakers did not change and continued to play with this lineup. Of course, several adjustments and changes have been made, and that is...... Directly short the inner line. Give outside players plenty of space and opportunities to hit the Jazz's basket.

Gasol went to the high position to respond, Yi Jianlian also went to the high position, and the two of them could block and dismantle at any time and ...... directly No, it's already here.

Gasol has a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian has a three-pointer, and the former's high-post strategy, the Lakers have played the Jazz's Goport, and they can't help but come out to defend repeatedly. The Jazz don't have the Lakers' defensive system to work and support perfectly. Schneider wanted to protect Gobot and make him go out less often, but he couldn't do it.

Relying on the Jazz's tactical system, it is simply impossible to do it.

Therefore, after the score difference was played in the first half, instead of narrowing, it was stretched to 24 points. The Lakers were offensively and defensively off the bench throughout the second quarter, but they still somewhat suppressed the Jazz's feelings. Even if it can't be regularized, it is enough to show how strong the bench strength of this Lakers team is.

At halftime, the Lakers led 53-29, and the Jazz lacked a core big man, Gordon. After Hayward, the starting offensive ability is not very strong. Coupled with the excellent performance of the Lakers' bench lineup, the Jazz's spirit was extinguished in one go.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' main lineup didn't play long, and then they entered the bench lineup again, and finally broke the opponent all the way. He led his opponent by 39 points, 95-56, and won the opening two consecutive victories. Tang Qian's data in this game is much worse than the previous game, "only" 15 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists are recorded. Of course, this data is very good for most of the league's interior players right now, and it can be called excellent. But because this person is Tang Qian, they all feel very bad. But if you look at the playing time of this game, it will be relieved, the playing time is less than 20 minutes, so if you calculate it this way, the efficiency is actually quite normal.

No problem.

In addition to him, in fact, the main data of the Lakers tonight are very average and "abnormal", and this night should be the "carnival night" for the Lakers' bench players. The best data is Gasol, who got 15 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and it is precisely because of his guidance and tactics that the Lakers' bench lineup is so smooth and combative.

After deducting Gasol, the remaining scores are relatively even, and the Lakers can be described as a bench score tonight, fully blossoming.

If you don't play until the end and don't want to humiliate your opponent too much, this ball is more than that.

After the game, Tang joked at the press conference:

Now I know why Black Mamba likes him the most, and he does have a "husband and wife" tacit understanding with the team.

Warmly welcome my sister-in-law back to the Zijin Army! Hopefully this is the end of his career!

If you come, don't go again!

Then Tang Qian also answered a question on the Internet, saying:

Everyone thinks that the last time we narrowly beat the Rockets, the team's strength has declined? No, no, no, tonight I believe the answer is already clear. Our bench lineup is enough to destroy the opponent's main force. Last time, we just hadn't gotten into the game yet, and if you want to blame the Houstonians, the opponents in the back.

Tang Qian's words are a bit exaggerated, in the end, everyone didn't expect the Lakers to be so strong on the bench, plus the Jazz team also has a lot of injuries, and the core generals have not returned, and winning is not really a "substitute to defeat the main force". But Tang Qian will not say this kind of thing. Make a strong announcement to everyone, don't underestimate us.

Our Lakers are still one of the strongest championship contenders this season.

We are the defending champions in the name only!

……

At this time, the "Cosmic Brave" in the Western Division also got the first win of the season, defeating the Pelicans by 13 points, the Splash Brothers, oh no, you can't say the Splash Brothers anymore, it should be the Tsunami Brothers who cut 30 + 28 + 23, 81 points! directly penetrated the Pelicans' outside defense, even if the "thick eyebrow brother" exploded 45 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, it was useless, and the Pelicans were still defeated by the opponent by a large score.

At this time, the head coach of the Warriors, Kerr, said angrily: This is the real beginning.

The Rockets also wiped out their opponents by a big score, and the aging Mavericks were not their one-in-one enemy at all, losing by 25 points.

The Rockets' style of play is really similar to the last game against the Lakers, and it seems that that kind of performance is not a coincidence.

In this case, this year's Western Conference will be more chaotic and ...... than imagined It's fun.

PS: I went directly to get an injection today, it should be much better tomorrow, I have to give everyone a wave of cool during this holiday~ Let's start here~
