After the game against the Bulls, the Pacers finally got a two-day break. Two days later, the Pacers will be heading to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers there. The Lakers were tragic last season, and as a Lakers team that has always wanted to be a winner, it is certainly unacceptable to play at the level of last season. The worst thing is that potential rookie Randle was actually reimbursed for the season...... It can only be described in one tragic word.

The Lakers had only one surprise last season, and that was Clarkson. It's a real surprise for the team to get a good player who can play as a starter, or sixth man, with such a pick. In the summer operation, the team's shit luck got the list and chose Russell, the most talented guard of the year, which can be regarded as the beginning of the post-Kobe era. And then eat at a low price, such as Luwei, etc., are considered to be relatively good operations. And Randall is recovering well.

Now it's time to complain, first of all, Kobe's contract is too big, I won't talk about it, without snatching Ye Xuan, the Lakers finally kept Kobe Bryant with a contract of nearly $25 million, but Kobe's current value is about half the price of this contract. And then the team's coach Scott is the failure of the Lakers, Scott is a very, very rare coach in the league who can neither practice nor coach on the floor. The only good thing is to be a sycophant...... But if you just flatter and don't work, you won't be liked by the privileged players. Brown is your ex (and Brown has some defensive tactics and training methods)!

And then there was a big problem with the team's lineup as well. Lu Wei is a very strong bench scorer, and playing sixth man is very suitable, but he is a super double-edged sword, and while he steals points himself, he will also be pierced by opponents! And I can't help the whole team. Bass is a good player, but it's just a good role player. Then let's talk about a few stars who have attracted attention, Russell is a playmaker, but after all, the potential is greater than the immediate power, and it is not obvious at all now that he can resist the responsibility of fully organizing the team in his first season. Clarkson is a typical two-way guard, but he can only be considered a second-rate two-way guard. He works hard, but he is constrained by the low ceiling of talent and his efficiency is average. And the projection ability is very unstable, 3 points are just 3 percent, and I like to dry pull...... Clarkson's two-way guard also suffers from defending the No. 2 position.

Randle is expected to become the next rotten tofu, but even the peak rotten tofu can't save this Lakers team, he may be able to grow into a first-class interior single, but he can't do more estimates, and finally talk about Kobe, the cliché, Kobe's outdated mid-range singles are a typical thankless style of play, very unsuitable for modern basketball. Such a single play may be reliable in the final minute of the score, but a new style of play that emphasizes pick-and-roll and space will break you through in the third quarter, and there is no key moment at all. Overall, the Lakers didn't catch a big fish in the offseason, which greatly reduced the value of Kobe Bryant's final years, the team is still in a rebuilding period, and besides, no team in the West is weaker than the Lakers, considering the Lakers' draft protection? Don't you want to take another handful?

For a team like the Lakers, who are accustomed to being high, it is naturally very uncomfortable to be pressed on the head by the 'illegal' Clippers in the same city. So this season they are still looking for trade opportunities, fortunately they still have a box office guarantee Kobe Bryant, otherwise the fans in Los Angeles will probably leave them directly, after all, the new championship is not far from Los Angeles.

After arriving at the Staples Center, the game was about to start soon, Ye Xuan had a face-to-face with Lao Ke during the warm-up, and now Lao Ke is getting worse and worse, on the one hand, because the coach's tactics are basically no tactics, and on the other hand, because the Lakers have no players who can help Lao Ko.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers, who lost Jordan Hill this summer but were unable to find a reliable interior lineman, had no chance of winning the jump ball at all, and Tyson Chandler casually slapped the basketball to Rondo. In the face of this year's list show, Rondo showed no mercy at all, and was directly ready to forcibly break through the opponent, but Russell compared to other rookie point guards, his physical fitness is still good, at least he can keep up with Rondo's footsteps without being knocked away, Rondo took two steps inward and found that he did not throw the opponent away, so he made a decisive emergency stop, and then divided the ball, Ye Xuan, who was opposite Lao Ke, received the ball and was about to shoot directly, but in the end, under Lao Ke's interference, he came out of the basket, Although Corvo is now old, his defense is still very good.

Randle grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and then handed the ball to Russell, Russell obediently passed the ball to the boss who wanted the ball after controlling the ball to the front court, and the boss had to single Ye Xuan after receiving the ball, although Ye Xuan's defensive ability was good, but Kobe's low-post offense still made Ye Xuan a little confused, compared to this era, there are basically no backcourt players still using low-post singles technology, so although Ye Xuan can play low-post singles, but the low-post defense is not very good, After being shaken off twice by Lao Ko, he easily hit the board and hit the ball.

In the first two rounds of the opening game, Corvo had the upper hand in an all-round way, which made the fans at Staples Arena very excited, especially since it was the regular season MVP last season who was opposite Corvo. Ye Xuan also felt that he was a little embarrassed in the two rounds just now, so after coming to the front court, he immediately asked Rondo for the ball, and Rondo was quite face-saving, so he immediately passed the ball over.

After Ye Xuan received the ball, he immediately began to feint again, ready to shake Kobe Bryant and then force his shot, but he didn't expect that Kobe Bryant didn't eat at all, and while watching Ye Xuan dangling there, he laughed and said, "Boy, don't tease, your shaking is still a little too tender compared to Aaron Iverson." Ye Xuan was also sweating, almost forgetting that Lao Ke often played against AI back then, but Ye Xuan also had a way, after seeing that he had no hope of breaking through, he immediately passed the ball to Jordan Hill one by one, and then immediately rushed towards the inside, Ye Xuan originally wanted to take back the basketball and go directly to the basket when he was wrong, but who knew that Jordan Hill was not Scola, and he didn't have this awareness, so Ye Xuan also ran for nothing this time.

After Ye Xuan ran away, Jordan Hill turned around and prepared to single Randle, but Ye Xuan had consumed a bit of offensive time before, so Jordan Hill didn't find any good opportunities and made a hasty shot, and the result naturally ended in iron.

Looking back, Lao Ke once again asked for the ball in a low position and prepared to single Ye Xuan, which made Ye Xuan a little uncomfortable, after all, he was also the best defensive player for a while, why did he now pinch me as a soft persimmon? But there is no way, Lao Ke is in good shape today, and Ye Xuan's proficiency in low-post defense is really not high, so he can only watch Lao Ke hit the ball with a back-to-back jumper after taking a few steps in the low post.

In four consecutive rounds of head-to-head confrontations, Ye Xuan was beaten to the ground, and the Pacers also fell behind 0:4 to the Lakers, who had lost all three games before and were at the bottom of the league. Fortunately, in the next round, the Pacers did not continue to let Ye Xuan come to give it away, but handed the ball to Pickled Pepper, and Pickled Pepper singled out, relieving the pressure on the Pacers.

But looking back, Kobe Bryant once again asked for the ball to hit Ye Xuan on the inside, and the other players of the Pacers couldn't stand it, Rondo immediately came over to help with the bag, and Kobe's reaction was very fast, and he immediately distributed the ball to Russell's hands on the outside, Russell's basket was also very good, and after receiving the ball, he didn't hurry to pull it up as a three-point shot, the ball.

In the first minute and a half of the game, the Pacers were directly beaten by the opponent 7:2, which made Coach Frank a little angry and yelled at the court. Fortunately, the self-regulation ability of the players on the Pacers court is quite good, Ye Xuan immediately took the initiative to find Pickle Pepper to discuss the change of defense, and after coming to the front court again, Ye Xuan is not in a hurry to prove himself from the offense, and the strength of the comparison team is very different, so he only needs to contain Lao Ke now, and leave the rest to Pickle Pepper and Rondo to complete it.

After changing the defense, the Pacers' offense and defense have really improved, on the one hand, Pickled Pepper has had the experience of playing power forward for a while, so he has more experience in defending the low post, and on the other hand, Ye Xuan is more about running without the ball on the offensive end, so Lao Ke should be the biggest on the court in terms of physical exertion.

Let's talk about the other players of the Lakers, they are indeed not very reliable, the 7:2 start was instantly equalized when the Pacers did not call a timeout, and then the next step was to overtake, all this only took 3 minutes, although Ye Xuan did not score a point at the beginning of the game, but he sent two assists, and today's Pacers' main point of attack is Pickled Pepper, and the opponent focuses on Ye Xuan defensively, which means that no one can prevent Pickled Pepper, As a result, the pickled peppers, who had been suppressing their offensive desire in the last two games, broke out in an instant, and in the next few minutes, they began to score wildly, scoring 12 points in just 4 minutes.

This is Coach Frank also took advantage of the dead ball opportunity of Pickle Pepper to kill the opponent's inside line and cause a foul to replace Ye Xuan and Jordan Hill, and replaced them with Solomon Hill and Myles Turner, so that Pickle Pepper does not need to invest energy on the defensive end, and instead let Solomon Hill defend Lao Ke, and he put all his energy on the offensive end, although after Ye Xuan left the game, Lao Ke's defensive target became Pickled Pepper, but now the first quarter of the game has been more than 9 minutes, so there are no two rounds, Scott swapped Corvo for Nick Young.

Yang Shaoxia is worthy of being a famous convulsion player in the league, and as soon as he got on the court today, he immediately hit two three-pointers, suppressing the offensive momentum of the Pacers, but as the game time slowly advanced, the advantage of the Pacers' bench also showed, soon after the start of the second quarter of the game, the Pacers replaced Ye Xuan to lead the bench, under the leadership of Ye Xuan, - Smith and Shambaugh also began to play one after another, and the outside firepower was no worse than that of the Warriors. And the Pacers' interior defense is much better than the Warriors, and the results speak for themselves, and at halftime, the Lakers, who have no ability to fight back, are already 14 points behind the Pacers.

In the first half, Ye Xuan didn't play particularly well, and the record of 4 of 9 shots was not satisfactory to Coach Frank, but in the face of the team at the bottom of the league, and it was the regular season, Coach Frank didn't say anything, plus this game now doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to win, so at halftime, the Pacers' away locker room was also jubilant.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers were still that lifeless, although Lao Ke still had a very strong desire to win, but the other players on the team were playing soy sauce, so it was difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and Lao Ke was not able to change his life against the sky.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers replaced all the main players with a 21-point lead, and it felt like clocking out of work in the third quarter of the game, with little pressure. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Corvo was still on the court trying to chase points, but he was surrounded by players such as Larry Nance Jr. and Brandon Buss, and finally after playing more than 3 minutes, Corvo had to be replaced, because even though he was there, there were still not many opportunities against the rotation defense of Shambaught and Solomon Hill.

At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Lakers at Staples Arena, and while they got a four-game winning streak, they also gave their opponents a wave of four consecutive defeats, another 20+ point difference victory, and the Pacers' offensive firepower and their defensive evaluation are all ranked in the top three in the league, which makes other teams very ashamed. Although the Warriors' offensive firepower ranks first in the league, their defense can only rank around tenth, similar to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are second in the league in offensive firepower, but the defense can only rank thirteenth, the Pacers are different, the offensive firepower ranks third in the league, and the defense also ranks third in the league, it can be said that not only the offensive ability is very good, but also the defense is very good.

After the end of this game, Ye Xuan was also invited to Kobe's house as a guest, unlike the last long talk in Indiana, this time Ye Xuan became a listener, Lao Ke can no longer find a suitable friend in the current Lakers, so it is difficult to find Ye Xuan, naturally to pour a good pour of bitter water.
