The clipper was really chiseled into a broken ship by Zhang Yi. Their defense didn't return to normal until the second half, and they blindly learned from Duncan, only to lose the experience they had found to be suitable for the Clippers.

This cannot be said to be a problem with the tactics of the head coach of the Clippers, after all, the difference in strength between the two teams is on the table, and there is no chance of winning if the sword is not biased.

The Pacers have really cornered the Lakers in previous games, and it really has to talk about the quality of the players. The Clippers' starting five would have to be at least a little better than the rotation players Duncan fielded.

Of course, this is all just the result of his assumptions, because once a player enters the rotation, it is difficult for others to find their own light.

The Pacers players are all examples of this, and even if they may have strengths of one kind or another, at least they are not playing very well now.

Zhang Yi had already scored the entire game in the first half, which is the difference in strength between the two teams under this style of play.

Although the last time the five members of the Clippers played against the Lakers, they were also abused badly, but at least they still had the strength to fight, and now, they can be said to have been defeated by Zhang Yi alone.

Regardless of the flow of the game and their performance, the overall offensive fluidity is two levels of players. Because of Zhang Yi's interspersed lead, the Lakers can still stimulate their strongest offensive ability even if they bring a few bench players.

That's what a good team core looks like. Zhang Yi's height, speed and explosiveness determine that he can quickly impact the basket, plus he also has accurate outside shooting skills.

How can the Clippers defend when they encounter such a comprehensive player, they can only spread their hands and say helplessly, there is no way to defend at all. So the question they face is to guard against one or the others.

If it is said that according to Duncan's point of view, of course, Zhang Yi must be prevented first, although their players do not have a sense of assistance on the surface, but in fact, everyone has the awareness of assisting defense. No matter where Zhang Yi rushes with the ball, the defenders in which area they are in will immediately form a personnel advantage.

And because they are very fast in defense, this means that even if Zhang Yi is involved in their defensive energy, the overall defense of the Pacers is not scattered.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yi chooses to play strongly or assist teammates after passing, the final result can only be completed under the control of the Pacers.

No matter how strong Zhang Yi's personal ability is, he has no extra energy to manage the opportunities of his teammates under such a high-pressure defense. That's where Duncan's defensive system is strong.

No matter what kind of superstar, inside? Outside? It's the same for a player like Zhang Yi who is the most difficult to defend both inside and outside, and there is nothing to hide under the integrity of the Pacers.

Of course, the Clippers were a cat in the first half, not because their players didn't have this ability, but because there was a huge gap in the most fundamental defensive awareness.

The current game has almost lost all suspense, whether it is offense or defense, the Lakers are firmly in the dominant position.

Even if Wacker intends to let Zhang Yi rest, after all, this is a city derby, even if it is to be pinched to death, but first of all, the two teams must be teams of the same level.

If the Lakers continue to let Zhang Yi on the court to extend the lead, it will be a bit too strong. Although the Clippers were not polite when they were not good, at least the margin was not so big.

So the Lakers also took it when they saw it, Zhang Yi did not play after scoring 36 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 6 steals and 2 blocks.

His overall shooting percentage was quite high, hitting 14 of 18 shots, including six three-pointers, which is why the Clippers couldn't defend it.

Although the score is so far behind, the Clippers also took advantage of Zhang Yi's absence from the court to quickly narrow the gap behind. It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have already explained this scene.

Even if the opponent's bench narrows the difference, the Lakers opened the game with two main players who still ruthlessly shattered the Clippers' upset dream.

Now Zhang Yi, Oscar and others simply don't play, and it can be seen that Wacker is deliberately releasing water, so even if they catch up, if the Lakers get the main force again, it will be the Clippers who will be ugly in the end.

The audience at the scene was also very indifferent when they saw the Clippers playing a wonderful match, because even a dunk in a game that had already been lost could not arouse everyone's interest.

That's the saddest part of the home game, garbage time comes too fast. Regardless of the final outcome, they won't have much to lose even if they leave now.

Because Zhang Yi had no intention of appearing here, a large number of spectators left early. The Clippers players are also depressed. The team's record is already terrible this season, and what they don't want to see is the Lakers rise again.

The once gloomy second child has been waving at the Clippers again.

They had plenty of opportunities to move out of Staples Arena and solve the awkward situation of two home teams in one arena, but in the end the owners gave up, not because of the money, but for the sake of breath.

Since the Clippers moved to Staples, it seems that they are destined to become the second oldest in the green leaves for the Lakers, and if they move away, it won't mean that they will admit defeat.

Over the years, the owners of the Clippers have changed batch after batch, but the most important decision everyone made was to never move out of Staples Arena.

It doesn't matter if the Clippers exist to compete with the Lakers. That's the curse left by the original owners, who won't throw in the towel and will lead the Clippers to a big team that surpasses the Lakers.

It's just that now, as everyone knows, the Lakers have succeeded again, and after countless seasons of decadence, this destined giant team has finally ushered in a new savior, the Oriental kid Zhang Yi!

And the Clippers, a team that has struggled on the brink of the playoffs for many years, has now lost the meaning of their existence, because as long as they perform worse than the Lakers, the city of Los Angeles will habitually forget about them.

Whether they can make the playoffs in the end, or go to the lottery show, the fate of the Clippers for the next few years is almost sealed.

Zhang Yi is the savior of the Lakers and the satanic devil of the Clippers. With him in one day, the Lakers can put together a magnificent winning streak.

And with him, the Clippers will have to accept humiliating defeat after defeat. This game is simply a microcosm of how these two teams will play each other in the coming years. The epitome of horror and will always roam Staples Arena, unleashing its magic every time it changes to the Clippers' hues......
