Chapter 418, No Contrast, No Harm
In the second quarter, a small lineup of several people, such as Williams, Hinrich, Grant Hill, Kenyon Martin, and Crawford, continued to suppress the Lakers.
After Mo Williams blocked and picked up, he easily passed Jamison and Jordan Hill, who was defending behind him, neither of whom were known for defense.
Grant Hill was responsible for defending Jamison and making it difficult for him to shoot, and Martin was also very good at defending the basket.
Martin's interior defense is great, short is not a problem at all, he can resist people, and last season with the Clippers, he ranked seventh in one-on-one defensive efficiency, which is a very impressive statistic. It's just that with the growth of age, there are varying degrees of decline in all aspects of data.
Jordan Hill tried to rely on his height and bouncing advantage to eat Martin, but failed both times.
Hinrich did a good job defending Blake and wouldn't get passed. Meeks can shoot three-pointers, can't attack with the ball, and can't get past Grant Hill.
Most of the Lakers' transactions this season are related to big names, the introduction of reinforcements in the bench position has not achieved anything at all, and the team can't keep people, Matt Barnes is the best example, although the Clippers give an annual salary that is not much different from the Lakers, but the contract given is more sincere than the Lakers, at least not for a year, Huang Yu sometimes wonders if Kupchak communicated with the old man at Arsenal when he gave this contract, otherwise how could he give such a contract.
Although Matt Barnes is thirty-two years old, he was able to average 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and two assists per game in the Lakers last season, and only played about 22 minutes.
In the last 38 seconds of the second quarter, Matt Barnes hit a three-pointer to directly extend the difference between the two teams to 25 points, which was when the Clippers' main team was resting for most of the second quarter.
-----------
Although the Lakers launched a fierce offensive in the second half, the main force of the Clippers, who had rested for a quarter, was naturally not afraid, and Kobe, who almost did not play in the second quarter, gradually showed fatigue, and the offense was iron-clad, and the starters of the Clippers only used a wave of 15-0 attack to successfully expand the difference to 35 points, directly announcing that the game had entered garbage time.
The Clippers' rotation players came up one after another, playing on par with the Lakers' starters, while the Monsters were grumpy and ate a technical foul near the end of the third quarter, and the Clippers made free throws.
Kobe Bryant on the sidelines looked at the bench who was still trying to chase points on the court, and he didn't feel good, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant played on the court again, but the Clippers' bench players played tacit cooperation and didn't give the Lakers a chance at all, when the game was less than three minutes away, the Lakers had already gone, Brown called a timeout, transferred troops, and Kobe Bryant sat on the bench without saying a word.
Brown, who planned to use the garbage time on the sidelines to let some rotation players go up to brush up on the data, pinched his waist with one hand and kept commanding, Kobe Bryant's eyebrows jumped, and soon Kobe Bryant threw the towel on the seat and returned directly to the locker room, and Brown also felt something at this time, glanced back, shook his head, and secretly sighed that the Lakers' coach really didn't do it.
The final score of the Clippers beat the Lakers by 25 points, which is still based on the fact that the Clippers' main team did not play much in the second half, Huang Yu and some players of the Lakers hugged one after another, and when it was Gasol's turn, Huang Yu said something in his ear, which made Gasol very embarrassed, but did not refuse.
----------
"From the beginning, the Lakers were in a suppressed position, it seems that the Lakers' tactics have not been adjusted at all, although the Clippers have experienced a lot of things last season, but they have shown a lot of strength, this season from this game, the Clippers aircraft carrier has been launched!"
Kenny Smith has been in the commentary for many years, and he knows what to say and what not to say, but Charles and O'Neal on the side don't have that many scruples.
"The Lakers' reinforcements are wrong, although Andrew's performance is not very good, but he can at least do a good job in his job, Howard doesn't look like a good fit for the Lakers at all!."
O'Neill didn't have the slightest mercy in his mouth.
"It's a pity, if the Clippers' starters continue to play, today will create the largest point margin in NBA history!"
Charles stabbed directly into the heart of the Lakers fans in front of the TV.
The Clippers' starters only played the first half, and the time was only one quarter and thirty-five minutes, and the Lakers were playing with the Clippers' bench for most of the half.
Huang Yu only played 18 minutes, with 22 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, while Paul scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in 15 minutes.
The Clippers scored in double figures, with Mo Williams scoring 22 points and five assists, Martin scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds and two assists, Hinrich scoring 17 points and shooting five three-pointers, Grant Hill scoring 12 points and three assists, and Crawford scoring 13 points and eight rebounds.
As for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant had 22 points and 1 rebound and no assists, Gasol had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, and Howard had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.
Except for the three of them, no Lakers have scored in double figures.
Nash played 34 minutes in this game, shot 2 of 7, only scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, his job is to dribble through the half, almost not breaking, some ideas in the first quarter, but the second quarter began to completely degenerate into a regular Lakers point guard. Against Hinrich, Nash struggled on the defensive end and was always easily passed.
Hinrich isn't much stronger than Nash, and he's not a very fast point guard.
Meeks, the Lakers' key signing off the bench, only had six points and three assists in the game, but he had a total of four turnovers.
As soon as this game ended, many Lakers fans were shouting for Kupchak to get out, management S13, and many people turned over old accounts, when Huang Yu was traded, Kupchak was promoted, although the starting point was for the stability of the Lakers, but it made the Lakers win at least one championship less.
The Lakers hierarchy obviously won't take this kind of thing to heart, after all, Kupchak is an important member of management, and they won't push him out as a scapegoat.
However, Kupchak is very distressed, and it is not the team's record that is distressed, although he has knelt 9 times in a row in the preseason, but Kobe's attitude is what makes him the most headache.
Kobe Bryant was blunt after Kupchak answered the phone and said the Lakers need to make changes, starting with coaching! Kupchak is good at saying that he finally let Kobe Bryant give in, and prove himself in a few games for Brown, if the Lakers' record can't be improved, then there is only one end, and that is to get out.
Kupchak is about to pull off the little hair left on his head, even if he fires Brown, where can he find a coach who can lead the Lakers, a coach who is a little bullish will not come to the Lakers to pick up the mess halfway, and it is almost as good as Brown, Kupchak can only plan to find a firefighter, and wait for the end of the season to find a suitable coach.
The general manager of the Lakers has been thinking about finding a coach next season at the beginning of the season, and I have to say that being in a high position is a long way to go.
----------
The Lakers' situation has nothing to do with the Clippers, who are already on the plane to Chicago.
At the beginning of this season, Rose's injury has received a lot of media attention, and when the Bulls announced that Rose would be reimbursed for this season, the Bulls instantly changed from a favorite to an underdog! Rose was reimbursed for the playoffs due to a sprained knee injury in last season's playoff opener, but for now, it seems that Rose's recovery from the injury is not very good.
And the Bulls have almost zero signings in the offseason, and the only good signing, Hinrich, was cut off by the Clippers, which made them only sign one veteran, Radmanovic! It is used to make up for the lack of firepower from the outside.
After Rose's injury, the Bulls brought up Nate Robinson at the No. 1 position, a '05 veteran who spent a lot of time on a team as a rookie when he joined the league. In the 2008-09 season, Nate Robinson averaged 17.2 points and 4.1 assists per game, and his performance can be said to be very good, and the Knicks also renewed his contract, although the contract was not long, only 4 million a year, but Nate Robinson did not know that this renewal allowed him to start a career of displacement, in the 2009-10 season, D'Antoni "not focused enough on the court", let Robinson sit on the cold bench, and sat for 12 games, Nate was angry and publicly requested a transfer transaction. The league fined Robinson $25,000.
Nate Robinson, who has only been on the court in garbage time since then, had to participate in the slam dunk contest with the shortest height in order to increase his value, but God seems to be on his side and won consecutive slam dunk championships, but it did not help him much in his career.
Robinson had a scoring performance in the fourth quarter with 22 points in the fourth quarter, did he want to do that, no, who let him only play in garbage time, and the Knicks' fourth quarter is generally garbage time.
Nate Robinson was then traded to the Celtics before his contract expired and became the team's rotation player, but this setback did not discourage him, and he became the team's main backup by his own efforts, but the good times did not last long, and the Celtics sent Robinson to the Thunder with Perkins in exchange for Jeff Green and Nenad Kostic.
But Robinson was left in the cold during his brief spell with the Thunder, making just four appearances, including three playoff appearances. In 7.5 minutes per game, he averaged only 3.3 points and 1.5 assists.
Robinson was not present at the Thunder's training camp after the NBA shutdown ended, and the team's general manager, Sam Pristi, announced his layoffs on December 24, 2012.
He also just signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Bulls for more than 1 million some time ago, and Rose was injured and he was lucky to become the starting point guard.
The Bulls' No. 2 position is Hamilton, small forward Rohr Deng, power forward Boozer, and center Joakina Noah!
The Clippers' starting line was normal, with no changes, center Gasol Jr., power forward Butler, small forward Huang Yu, scoring guard Mo Williams, and point guard Paul.
The game with the Bulls was very easy, except for the energetic Nate Robinson who caused some small problems for the Clippers in the first half, and the rest of the time the Clippers led the Bulls by a double-digit point difference, knowing that the third quarter was over, the difference between the two teams had reached 30 points, and the Bulls directly replaced the bench in the fourth quarter to announce their surrender.
The final score was 112-85, and the Clippers won two in a row, and the score difference in both games was more than 20 points.
-----------
Entering November, the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves 128-92 on the road in Game 3. In this game, Huang Yu only played less than 2 quarters, and almost did not play in the second half.
After the Lefu game, I came to greet Huang Yu, and Huang Yu just hummed to deal with it, I haven't been in touch for almost 2 years, and now I'm coming to set almost? Although Huang Yu does not intend to harm people, the heart of guarding against people always exists.
In January 12, the Timberwolves renewed their contract with Love and signed a 4-year 20 million contract, and when he went to Oklahoma, he asked Westbrook to meet, and when he played with the Clippers, he didn't put a fart, and he didn't contact Huang Yu for a long time, and Huang Yu didn't go to stick a cold ass! It is estimated that this product just looks at Huang Yu's delay in renewing the contract, and it has no value.
At the end of the game, the Clippers did not return to Los Angeles, but went directly to Indiana, because they had to challenge the Pacers back-to-back, although the Pacers had stalwarts such as Granger, George, West and Hemodeau, but they were still at a disadvantage in the face of the Clippers, and were easily defeated by the Clippers 115-90, and the Clippers won four in a row and won all 20+ games.
At this time, the Lakers in the same city were holding a press conference to officially fire McBrown.
McBrown also became the first head coach to be fired this season, but it was also a shame, after all, the NBA is different from football, and it is normal for a football coach to be dismissed after a few games with poor results, but NBA head coaches rarely appear like this.
However, the Lakers' results are indeed too poor, McBrown led the Lakers to 8 consecutive defeats in the preseason and 3 consecutive defeats in the regular season, creating the worst start for the Lakers in more than 30 years.
Just the day after the public dismissal of McBron, the Lakers announced that McD Anthony was the new head coach of the Lakers.
Nash gave his welcome speech at the first time!
Kobe Bryant and Howard and others didn't show too much, just a simple welcome, in fact, the Lakers have always wanted to let the Zen master return, but the other party's asking price is too big, and Bass Jr. was unwilling to let him come back, and the lion opened his mouth, so he hurriedly contacted D'Antoni, who had been unemployed for more than half a year!
Compared with the Lakers changing coaches at the bottom of the league, they and the Clippers are completely two extremes, who is the coach of the Clippers? It's Billups, the salary doesn't even exceed the luxury tax, and the Lakers' total salary this season is more than 100 million, and the luxury tax is more than 30 million, according to the new rules of the league, the Lakers have to pay 70 million!
During the Lakers' change of coach, the Clippers defeated the Warriors away, slaughtered the Pistons, defeated the Spurs, won a wave of 7 consecutive wins, and led the league with a winning record, even if the Heat lost one game last season!
The team second only to the Clippers and the Heat is the old and strong Spurs, with the same 6-1 record, the only loss to the Clippers, and also ended the Clippers' law of relying on an average of more than 20 points per game to start the season, losing to the Clippers by 19 points.
