ps: There are still 9 more than 9 more, which means that the windmill will be able to pay off three more 5 more.

――――

In the jump ball session, Whiteside lost to Jordan Jr.

Paul organized the attack and gave the Griffin to the important position. Although Griffin did not have an advantage in height and reach, he relied on his strong body and unparalleled explosiveness to successfully score the first point of the game for the Clippers.

And back, the Lakers attacked, Nash controlled the overall situation, and under the player's repeated passing, Kobe Bryant followed Chu Xuan's tactical arrangement, with the help of covering, ran back to the bottom line, received Antetokounmpo's cuddly pass, and successfully made a layup.

In the first attack, both sides scored, and both seemed to be extremely organized, setting a good tone for today's game.

The Clippers' offense is clearly focused on Griffin, and Paul spends most of his time looking for opportunities for his teammates to score, so the Clippers are extremely dangerous.

The Lakers' arrangement is to focus on Kobe Bryant, so that Kobe Bryant can form one-on-one with the opponent's No. 2/3 player as much as possible. In Chu Xuan's opinion, this can greatly play Kobe's advantages.

A few rounds passed quickly, and Kobe Bryant and Griffin were both in very good shape, and the two were extremely efficient on the court and worked hard to create a contribution for the team.

Most of the fans who came to watch the game supported both teams at the same time. So when the players on both sides score, they give applause.

It can be said that in the first few minutes of the game, there were no boos from the Staples Center, which allowed the game to be played in a very good atmosphere and the players on both sides played with great ease.

"Kobe Bryant seems to have a good hand today, it's going to be a star-studded game."

In the sixth minute of the game, Bryant faced Barnes' defense and hit a three-point shot. The sharp feeling seems to take the witnesses back to ten years ago, when the Koru was in the middle of the day, and it was simply an offensive machine that ignored the defense.

Bryant hit a three-pointer to bring his personal score to 11 points.

In just half a quarter of the game, Bryant scored in double digits, and this situation immediately made Doug Rivers feel extremely pressured.

"Be tough, don't follow his rhythm, put pressure on him, don't give him a chance to open up space." Rivers gestured with both hands, signaling the players to expand the defense and not let Kobe Bryant score easily in the mid-range position.

After receiving the implied order, the Clippers immediately made a change.

Barnes no longer gave Kobe a step away, and he began to cling to Kobe and try his best to make physical contact with Kobe.

Moreover, Jordan Jr.'s defense began to expand beyond the paint area, and inside there was Griffin.

After such a defensive change, the Lakers' breakthrough became a little difficult, and the first shot after the change of defense, Antetokounmpo was successfully blocked by Jordan Jr. when he burst into the basket.

However, Nash's intention to pass to the basket began to increase, after all, Whiteside had room to attack.

The Clippers' defensive changes were quite successful, and the Lakers' offense fell into a brief period of stagnation, and the Clippers took the opportunity to take a five-point lead.

"Paul, you go on the pitch and replace Norris. I'll assign you two tasks, the first is to cover Kobe Bryant and give him a chance to score in the middle distance Chu Xuan, which you are good at. Second, you have to pay attention to catching and shooting in the high post, as long as you play it, they will have one person on the inside, so that it will be easier for our players to break through. ”

Chu Xuan motioned for Gasol to play.

Gasol got up as soon as he got the order, the taste of sitting on the bench was always unbearable, and he was still adapting.

Moreover, Gasol has already sensed that in next season, the Lakers will definitely play the twin-tower tactic of Noel + Whiteside. In other words, most of his future career should be played as a substitute.

However, Gasol is the best big man in the world, he has a strong self-confidence and basketball IQ, and he can understand the team's tactical system, so he will not lose confidence by being a substitute, but will make him want to perform.

"Pau Gasol is on the court, and the Lakers should be ready to change their style of play."

At the same time, Rivers also made a substitution arrangement.

Jamal Crawford came on and replaced Redick.

Barnes continued to stay on the court to defend Kobe, which made it clear to everyone that in this game, Barnes should play for about the same amount of time as Kobe, and he was the main player that Rivers used to defend Kobe.

However, Barnes is not the kind of wing player who is super defensive, and he simply can't contain the hot-handed Kobe.

After Gasol came on the court, the tacit understanding with Kobe Bryant that he had cultivated all year round immediately played a very big role. Under Gasol's cover, Bryant hit two mid-range shots.

At the end of the first quarter, Bryant was 5-of-6 and scored 15 points, which was extremely efficient.

However, relying on Kobe's personal play alone, the rest of the Lakers did not contribute much, and the Lakers obviously couldn't play the Clippers, and in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers fell behind by 7 points at 24:31.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was very high, and the game was really exciting, which made people extremely happy to watch.

In particular, Kobe Bryant and Griffin, the two star players of their respective teams, played very aggressively, and the meaning of-for-tat made the game very focused.

"Kobe Bryant will continue to be aggressive, but I hope someone can step up and help him, it's not a game for him alone, and he can't take a team alone. The opponent is so strong, someone has to step up and help Kobe. ”

Chu Xuan has been observing the Clippers' style of play, he can feel Rivers' ability to govern the army, and the opponent's players are in such good condition, which makes Chu Xuan clearly realize that Kobe Bryant alone can't beat the Clippers.

"If Blake wants to play, let him play, but he has to defend against the others. Also, we have to go inside more aggressively, and smart play will create more fouls for the opponent to make free throws. ”

Under Chu Xuan's instructions, the Lakers went on the court to fight again.

Barnes' defense of Kobe Bryant changed, and he began to defend Kobe's shots. Obviously, it must have been Rivers who arranged for him.

However, the Lakers' interior group is starting to find a sense of scoring, and they play very tough on the inside, frequently creating fouls to score points.

On the other hand, with the Clippers, Paul's role on the offensive end began to increase, and he began to try shooting to score.

Paul is, after all, one of the best point guards in the league, and his scoring tools are second to none in the league, so when he wants to score, the basket seems to be extremely wide.

However, Kobe Bryant is still continuing his hot hand, constantly scoring to help the Lakers bite the score.

Although Barnes was trying his best to defend, Kobe Bryant was too accurate today, which made him feel powerless.

Soon after halftime, the Clippers maintained a seven-point lead, and Bryant's personal score had reached 24 points. (To be continued.) )
