Aside from off-court factors, from a basketball perspective alone, the Lakers' trade to Korver, everyone feels that the Lakers' trade to Korver is no different from robbery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Maybe Bazemore showed a really good talent, and it is likely that he will have a better career than Korver in the future, but for the Lakers, Korver is much more important than Bazemore.

Korver's three-point threat, the role of opening up space, and aggressive movement are all things that Bazemore can't give, and as for Korver's defensive problems......

It's not a problem at all, even Nash and Nick Young can be covered under Bickerstaff's defensive system, let alone Korver?

However, due to the famous incident caused by the confrontation between Liu Ren and Korver, people are not optimistic about this deal, and even feel that Korver will not get playing time at all, or that the two may have the opposite effect on the court.

That's what the Pelicans think the same way, and they want to beat the Lakers with a very high fighting spirit.

The Pelicans have started to rise this year, with Anthony Davis, Tyrek Evans, and Eric Gordon as the core combination, they have played a good chemistry, plus Asik, Norris Kerr composed of starters, and there are strong role players such as Ryan Anderson and Cunningham on the bench, plus Jrue Holiday has been injured for a long time, and successfully advanced to the ranks of the Western Conference playoff teams.

It's not that Holiday is bad, he is really strong, but his injury has liberated Evans' organizational ability, Evans is obviously stronger, averaging 20+5+5 per game in his rookie year, his strength can be described as quite good, but he needs a lot of ball possession.

After Evans returned to possession of the ball, he worked perfectly with Anthony Davis' pick-and-roll team, and now the Pelicans have a 15-7 record, and he has contributed a lot.

The tournament starts at 5 p.m. on December 9.

The Lakers' starters are Liu Ren, Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Green, and Gasol.

The Pelicans' starting lineup is a big change from the last meeting.

Anthony Davis and Asik have not changed, they continue to partner on the inside, and the outside line has changed very much, and Tyrek Evans, who was originally forced to play as a small forward off the bench, returned to the starter, although he still played small forward, but he became a real playmaker, scoring guard Eric Gordon, and point guard became former Heat two-time champion member Kerr.

Anthony Davis is stronger than before, and his explosiveness is stronger, purely higher than the jump, the two may be about the same, after all, Anthony Davis's bounce height is actually not very much, Gasol and Gasol Jr. The bounce height of the two white people is not bad, but the bounce speed Gasol is more than a step worse than Anthony Davis.

The Pelicans win the jump ball.

Gasol clenched his fists and quickly returned to the defense.

The Pelicans attacked first, and it wasn't point guard Kerr who held the ball, but small forward Terrick Evans.

Rookie season Tyrek Evans played a historic rookie season in the Kings who didn't have a good backcourt at the time, and the average of 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season was only done by three people in history before Evans, and they all became the top 10 superstars in history without exception. They are Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James.

According to common sense, when the Kings got a super rookie with such a talent like Evans, they should be like the Cavaliers to train James, the Pelicans to train Anthony Davis, and the Lakers to cultivate Liu Ren.

But the Kings management really got their heads up and picked another point guard the following year, still a capable point guard, and let Evans play shooting guard.

Evans is tall, 1.98 meters, and he is tall among shooting guards, in fact, playing a shooting guard is nothing to Evans, but Evans is not suitable for the king to play a shooting guard at all, and the king asks him to play the type of running without the ball or setting up pitcher.

Evans isn't comfortable at point guard, he needs to carry the ball! Kings management ignored that and later continued to select guards, moving Evans to small forward.

Then Evans slowly scrapped, playing worse and worse, being sold to the Pelicans by the Kings, and then playing as a substitute for a year.

Until this season, due to Holiday 's continuous injuries in the past two years, Pelicans head coach Mondy Williams did not stop, put Holiday on the injury list for him to rest, and reused Evans, Evans finally returned to the sea.

Unstoppable! Evans made perfect use of strength, speed, and rhythm to break through Liu Ren, although Evans' strength and speed are not as good as Liu Ren, but his use of his body is better than Liu Ren!

That's what Barkley said, those who have the physical qualities to go against the sky may only become sports players, such as McGee.

Those who can perfectly control their bodies to do technical skills may become top stars, such as Nash.

And the physical fitness, the ability to perfectly control the body, and the technique is not bad, that is the superstar, such as James, Jordan, Kobe.

Evans may only be in the middle of the NBA physically, but he has good skills and a very good grasp of the body, and he has the talent to become a top star!

Seizing the flaws between Liu Ren's defense, Evans used the perfect combination of speed and weight to break Liu Ren's defense and kill the inside.

This breakthrough ability! Liu Ren was stunned, although he was very impressed by Evans before and was quite sympathetic to his situation, he really didn't expect him to break through so much.

Evans is a little proud, he is in the limelight and has the potential to dominate at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the boss with the potential to dominate can't prevent him!

Seeing the center inside who is ready to make up for the defense, Evans didn't take Gasol seriously at all, in Evans' opinion, Gasol is old, and his partner Anthony Davis is the best interior in the league.

Entering the three-second zone, Evans turned around with a false shot and flew to wipe the board for a layup!

Under Evans's surprise, Gasol did not take a feint at all, but stood in front of him on the inside line and stretched out his hand, and did not block the hat, just blocked him.

But what can stop him? Evans snorted disdainfully, and nimbly turned around to shoot!

This footstep, this shot angle, is simply textbook level! You can get 20+5+5 in the rookie year, and it's really not covered!

However, Gasol's block and Evans turned around, and Liu Ren has chased it back!

Liu Ren seized the opportunity, pinned Evans's wipe layup to the rebound with a big hat, and directly grabbed the ball with a block!

This ball is so beautiful! The timing was so good! Half a second early will fan the ball away, and half a second later it will not cover it! As soon as Liu Ren opened, the fans at the scene screamed.

Liu Ren was expressionless, as if he had done nothing, and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin.

Anthony Davis is quick to return to the defense and is very mobile, which is what makes him superior to other centers, and it is also his characteristic.

There is no fast break opportunity, steady and steady, Jeremy Lin advanced to the frontcourt, today's opponent is different from before, and today's opponent's interior may be the best defensive interior combination in the league.

Anthony Davis was first noticed because his figure was too prominent on the defensive end, although he was only two meters and eight meters tall, his shoulder height was taller than Bosh and Garnett! The arm span is even more terrifying than two meters three! You can almost reach the basket with your hand!

As the playmaker of a young team, Jeremy Lin is well aware of the importance of momentum, and the opponent is also a young team, so the first thing to do is to suppress the opponent in this regard.

Jeremy Lin immediately made a judgment that this first goal was going to be scored and play with momentum.

Jeremy Lin directed his teammates to run and gestured to his teammates, Gasol came to the free throw line to hold the ball, Kobe Bryant came to the bottom left corner of the basket, Green was ready to block and grab rebounds without the ball at any time at close range on the right side of the basket, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Gasol and came to the 45th corner on the weak side.

His teammates were fast, but Jeremy Lin noticed that one person was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Boss, you're here for Kobe Bryant." Jeremy Lin said directly in Chinese.

He is a little helpless, this Liu Ren is very strong in everything, that is, he can't understand the command at all in terms of tactics, fortunately, he has an excellent sense of attack, and the two of them can speak Chinese! Don't be afraid to be heard by your opponents!

Although Jeremy Lin's Chinese is still bad, Liu Ren has been used to it after listening to it for a long time.

Go low?

Liu Ren was a little confused about the tactic arranged by D'Antoni, why did a Korver ask him to practice low-post singles? And let him go to the inside line more?

The inside line was crowded all of a sudden, Anthony Davis and Asik were stunned that no one came out to defend Gasol, plus Green and Gordon who defended Liu Ren, it was really crowded inside.

Gasol's face was calm, he stepped on the free throw line and shot directly, and after the shot, he didn't look at it, Gasol turned back to defense, and this shot felt like he knew that he would go in for a mid-distance expert!

Liu Ren desperately grabbed the rebound with Anthony Davis and Gordon after Gasol's shot, and then the ball went in.

What was left for Liu Ren was Gasol's back, which must be scored.

Domineering! This is the first time Gasol has revealed this domineering momentum!

2-0, the Lakers took the lead.

The Pelicans attacked, and it was Evans who held the ball.

Evans is sober this time, he really didn't expect Gasol's defensive judgment to be so good just now! and Liu Ren's blocking ability is really terrifying, the kind of overwhelming cap is the same as James in the Cavaliers back then.

It is courageous to come when you don't know how strong the other party is, and it is a fool to know how strong the other party is.

Not only is Evans not a fool, but he is also a top-level defender who is extremely smart, and he has really started to be at the top.

Just like the superstars who averaged 20+5+5 per game in previous rookie seasons, Evans followed the old path of James, Jordan, and Oscar Robertson, and his hairline was getting higher and higher at a young age, and he began to move towards the Mediterranean.

James was witty and used a headband to hide his balding head, Jordan was more direct and shaved his head, but young Evans was still distressed and didn't know how to stop the hairline from moving up.

Evans continued to play inside, in the face of Gasol's defense Evans still looked stunned and went straight to the basket, Gasol was ready to block, Evans shot this time, it looked like the attack just now was going to end in failure.

It's passed! Evans flew to the basket for a split second, and after completely attracting the attention of Gasol and Liu Ren, who was chasing in, he hit the ground and passed to Anthony Davis, who rushed in after shaking off Green, and Anthony Davis easily slammed the dunk in the face of the empty basket.

"It's a beautiful ball, and the timing of the cut is just right, so you can't let Anthony Davis rush up, and it's a dunk when you rush."

Liu Ren's mind suddenly flashed the game commentary of the NBA2KOL he loved to play back then, and he found that it was really like that! This thick eyebrow brother should not be underestimated!

Continuing to attack, seeing the position of his teammates, Liu Ren didn't let Jeremy Lin remind him, and he ran to a low position.

Gasol picked up the ball near the free-throw line, and this time it was guarded, and Asik came out ready to block interference.

Asik? Seeing that it was Asik who was defending himself, Gasol showed off the dribble, not looking down on Asik, in Gasol's opinion, Asik's defensive dominance in the three-second zone was strong, but this was on the outside.

There is a group of big men in the league, they grew up watching Jordan, Magic, Hardaway and others play, and they all expected to play guard since they were young, and they also practiced according to the guard, but when they grew up, they grew up to be the height of a center, and they had no choice but to change to play center and power forward.

Of course, there are also such players as Magic Johnson, left-handed Magic Odom and now Lakers star Antetokounmpo who have become giant point guards.

But most of them gave up playing guard after growing taller and honestly played center, and Howard was an example.

Of course, there are some people in between, who still have good ball control after playing inside, and become excellent playmakers in the high and low positions, Garnett, Duncan, and Gasol in front of him are the best of them.

Anthony Davis is also quite good with the ball, which is why he was actually average in the draft, but people still think that he has great potential on the offensive end, but he is not as good as Duncan and Gasol, and when he develops playmaking and mid-range shooting, then he will be even more unstoppable.

Popovich has always been very covetous of Gasol, especially after Gasol renewed his contract with the Lakers last year, he silently opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine that has been treasured for many years and got drunk.

Originally, he was still expecting Gasol to leave the team after falling out with the Lakers, and he could sign Gasol, and then the interior combination of Duncan and Gasol would ...... It's a pity that Popovich can only continue to imagine that image in his mind.

On the inside, Gasol controlled the ball and could count, and in the cheers of the audience, Gasol played with a crotch dribble breakthrough!

A few crotch dribbles and feints shook the bulky Asik to the point where he almost fell to the ground! The fans are boiling!

Gasol broke through the crowd cheers like a guard, then accelerated and rushed to the basket! Take off in three steps!
