Before the start of this game, in fact, many experts predicted that the Raptors might not take advantage of this game, because no matter what direction it is analyzed, the Lakers' strength can beat the Raptors. Soon after the start of the game, the Lakers led by Ye Xuan took the initiative on the court, and while the first three attacks all hit the ball, they also let DeRozan hit two irons in a row, and Valanciunas's back play also ended in failure, and the Lakers beat the opponent with a 7:0 start as soon as they came up.

After that, the rhythm of the game was gradually slowed down, and the Lakers began to play steadily, not giving the Raptors any chance at all, the two main players on the Raptors' side were locked by Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill, and the other players had no means to open up the situation, so they could only watch the team be pulled apart by the opponent little by little.

When the first quarter of the game was suspended, the Lakers had quietly scored 19 points, while the Raptors only scored 8 points, and the shooting rate was even more tragic to only 20%. At this time, the Lakers already knew that this game was already secure, and Wharton Jr. was not ambiguous, and decisively replaced Wade to rest, after all, he is a veteran, and he can have more rest time and wait for the playoffs to have more strength.

After replacing Nick Young, the Lakers' offensive firepower is more powerful than when Wade was on the floor, but the responsibility of organizing the offense can only rely on Ye Xuan and Gasol, when Wade is on the court, the Lakers' tactics can be regarded as a triangle tactic of changing direction, Ye Xuan and Wade can both have an advantage in singles, but the difference is that this time the terminator is also the ball handler, and Gasol's ability to open up the space is much better than that of O'Neal and the like, which is quite a bit of Odom's feeling back then.

The first half of the game ended in a blink of an eye, the Lakers easily got a 19-point lead under the leadership of Ye Xuan, I have to say that the Raptors were completely stunned today, the shooting rate in the first half was only 30%, and only 38 points in total, and the Lakers have already scored 57 points, just like that, because Ye Xuan was replaced and rested later, and the offensive efficiency of the Lakers has declined.

The second half of the game naturally turned into garbage time, and the main players of the Lakers also chatted happily off the court, and substitutes such as Zubac, who usually did not have much playing time, also got the opportunity to work out. At the end of the game, the Lakers easily defeated the visiting Raptors, Ye Xuan's data was relatively average, and he only played 20 minutes of the game, but after this game, Ye Xuan still won the Western Weekly Trophy again, after all, if it is calculated, Ye Xuan can score almost 50 points per game in four games this week, so this trophy is naturally in Ye Xuan's bag.

But it's a pity that Ye Xuan didn't get the best of the month in November, after all, he was banned for 6 games, although the team's record is still very good, but the ban still has a certain impact, and the best of the month in November was awarded to Wei Shao, after all, Wei Shao is also the most explosive player in Western Digital in addition to Ye Xuan.

After the game against the Raptors, the Lakers didn't have time to rest more, and they were about to welcome a strong opponent, the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies can be said to be one of the teams that Ye Xuan is most reluctant to face, because their strong defense has always made Ye Xuan's style more uncomfortable, comparing Tony Allen's defense and the interior with Gasol Jr. and Randolph's supplemental defense, which makes Ye Xuan's average efficiency drop by almost 5% when facing the Grizzlies.

Suffering from serious injuries, the Grizzlies before and after entering the playoffs last season were a "**-type" Grizzlies; But from the perspective of technical statistics, it is an extremely typical grizzly bear. It's worth mentioning that the Grizzlies have shown signs of a style shift during the season, and the Grizzlies we know may soon be in history.

Despite this, from the perspective of statistical performance, the Grizzlies can still be regarded as a representative of "moving against the tide", the two most obvious characteristics are one is the slow pace (6th from the bottom), and the other is not good at three-point shooting (18.5 shots per game, 33.1% shooting rate, ranking 25th and 29th respectively). Although the Grizzlies are tied for eighth place in free throw shooting at 24.7 per game, the team is still averaging 83.6 shots per game and shooting 44 percent from the field, both of which are outside the top 20, so true shooting percentage (52.4 percent, 27th) and points per 100 possessions (102.6, tied for 21st) are not so pretty.

The Grizzlies are also called "typical" because they maintain their tradition of not making mistakes (12.7 turnovers per game, tied for sixth) but letting their opponents make mistakes (15.5 turnovers per game, tied for fifth). It is worth mentioning that compared with last season, the Grizzlies' defensive rebounding rate has not declined much, but the offensive rebounding rate has increased. As in recent years, the Grizzlies are still a team with obvious strengths and weaknesses, but the weaknesses are not hopeless, and the strengths have given them the ability to deal with major injuries.

Conley's contract extension and Gasol Jr.'s return are the biggest additions of the offseason for the Grizzlies. Conley's sky-high contract has caused a lot of criticism, throwing out a contract of 100 million yuan for 2 consecutive years (last year he renewed Gasol Jr. for 5 years for 110 million), even at a time when the salary cap is skyrocketing, it is still unusual for a small market team like the Grizzlies. Coupled with the fat contract signed with Parsons this summer, which is actually almost the same as the 100 million yuan contract, the Grizzlies will suddenly have three players with an annual salary of more than 20 million next season.

What is this concept? Far from it, even all the championship teams in the past 8 years have never been so "extravagant". In addition to the Grizzlies, only the Clippers have this configuration in the new season, but the Clippers have the big Los Angeles market and the owner of the gold owner, and they can be released as early as next year (Chris Paul can jump out of the contract), and the smaller Grizzlies will have to wait until 2019 at the earliest. In terms of salary alone, the Grizzlies are in a championship-level configuration.

However, compared with the Thunder, who lost Kevin Durant, the Grizzlies, who are also a small-market team, at least retained the core, and this courage was approved by the industry. Despite his injury concerns, Parsons can fill the Grizzlies' wing and three-point gaps, and he can also be the Grizzlies' "Jam King" and create opportunities for his teammates. In a word, although the grizzly bear spends a lot of money, at least it is "the right medicine", not "people are stupid and have a lot of money". As for whether the effort is worth it, given that this summer is the first offseason after the salary cap skyrocketed, there are bound to be more bizarre contracts in the future, and perhaps we can't look at it with the same old eyes.

Health is overwhelming. Sports Illustrated once said, "If Parsons stays healthy, the Grizzlies' starters can be at the top of the league." But as of press time, Parsons' comeback is still uncertain. In contrast, the Grizzlies' bench is weaker. Last season, the team was full of injuries and gave the bench a chance to train, but in order to fill the huge gap between the starting benches, Fitzdale recently "asked Zach Randolph for help", and the "Black Bears" will be full of bench firepower next season.

The Grizzlies' appointment of Fitzdale as the new coach also seems to be a step in the game. After bidding farewell to Dave Jogle, one of the Grizzlies' coaching tenets is for the new coach to be able to participate in the construction of the team's roster. Fitzdale has been around Pat Riley for a long time, dealing with players and developing new talent. There are reports that Fitzdale has been involved in the offseason from the signing of Parsons to the draft, which is initially in line with the original intention of the Grizzlies to draft a coach. After Fitzdale's departure, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both expressed reluctance, and it is conceivable that the Grizzlies will be in a tie situation next season. Randolph bluntly said that "Fitzdale is a man".

The new coach also has a preliminary idea for the new season, and he revealed that he will rely on the four core of Conley, Gasol Jr., Randolph and Parsons. But the industry is also eyeing the topic of the Grizzlies priding themselves on the passing of the "gritandgrind" style. Tony Allen and Randolph, who represent the Grizzlies' crushing style next season, will both enter contract years, and it will be interesting to see if the three 20 million gentlemen will lock up their contract renewal prospects. If the duo leave, the grizzly bears we know as they know may change their ways.

In short, it is an indelible fact that the Grizzlies were firmly in the top 5 in the Western Conference last season before Gasol Jr.'s downfall, and eventually retained No. 7. In the new season, entering the top 4 and retiring to protect the top 6 is the pattern that the Grizzlies should have. And although the Grizzlies are now only in sixth place in the West, his winning rate against strong teams is not low, first he defeated the Spurs, and in the Cavaliers they also won the game, even the Warriors were pressed and beaten when facing them, knowing that the last minute of the game was only lost by Curry and Durant's two consecutive three-pointers. However, due to the existence of the black and white bears and a new Mr. Conley, whose offensive and defensive strength is not particularly good, the team often lacks the ability to crush the opponent when facing some weak teams, which makes them almost 90% of the games in a season are with the opponent, which makes them consume a lot of physical strength.

This game is actually a challenge for Ye Xuan, after all, he still has to face the difficult Grizzlies, and it is still back-to-back, although the last game did not last long, but the back-to-back games will always make people feel tired, of course, Ye Xuan's performance is also very critical for the Lakers, after all, although it is said to be the Big Three, but in fact, the real core of the Lakers team is only Ye Xuan.

Of course, there are some other highlights in this game, such as the brotherly dialogue between Gasol Jr. and Gasol Jr., such as one of the chips used to trade Gasol Jr., which is now a player in the All-Star category, and the dialogue between Conley, who has the highest salary in the point guard position, and Ye Xuan, who has the highest score in the point guard position.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' side started a little weak, missing on the offensive end for two consecutive rounds, Ye Xuan's side missed a goal under the defense of Tony Allen, and then sent the ball to Randle after breaking through the ball, Randle's mid-range shot also ended in iron, on the other hand, on the Grizzlies' side, the inside line was steady and steady, and Randolph hit the ball in two consecutive rounds, allowing the Grizzlies to establish an advantage at the beginning.

But at this time, Da Gasol stood up, first hit a three-pointer directly after receiving Ye Xuan's pass from the outside, and then used the hand-to-hand pass after blocking and dismantling to help Ye Xuan get the opportunity to cut in the air, so that Ye Xuan could go to the basket smoothly.

Gasol showed his might again, and the Lakers also took this opportunity to quickly stir up the score, in fact, this is also very understandable, on the one hand, the Lakers' offensive means are more abundant, which the Grizzlies can't catch up, and secondly, the Lakers' defense is not particularly bad, which makes the Grizzlies' offensive means that are not too strong are a little stretched in an instant, but fortunately, they still have an advantage on the inside, so they can barely bite the score.

However, the balance of all this was finally broken when the benches came on the court, and the Grizzlies' benches were obviously much lower than the Lakers' benches, under the leadership of Clarkson and Nick Young, the Lakers' benches were like tigers going down the mountain to feed, and the Grizzlies' benches were beaten to the ground, and in just 4 minutes of bench playing time, the difference between the two teams was expanded from 3 points to 9 points.

The subsequent game slowly entered the rhythm of the Lakers, and the score was gradually pulled away, although Ye Xuan was interfered with by Tony Allen in scoring this game, so the score was relatively low, but he didn't know how to change, so he worked harder on assists, and as a result, Ye Xuan, who only scored 16 points, got 17 assists.

After the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies, their record was also rewritten to 19-3, and the Pelicans behind them were 15-5, and there were two fewer games, and the Warriors were even more tragic, after losing to the Lakers in a row, they then lost to the 76ers who were the top picks in the East for many years. So as the 14-15 season's scouting show, two consecutive seasons announced season reimbursement, but this did not make the 76ers give up this potential rookie. And this season he also proved that his average of 16.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per game is already the best in the league, and he can also average 3.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, with the ability to shoot three-pointers, he also has a certain dominance on the inside, it is simply the contemporary Olajuwon, and the Warriors are naturally tragic, and the final 15-6 ranks third in the West.
