283. Little Beast Randall
On October 10, 2014, the Lakers faced their second preseason opponent in Las Vegas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In a place like Las Vegas, where local tycoons gather, ticket prices are naturally quite expensive, and they are almost catching up with the ticket prices for the playoffs, but still on the day of training camp, 25,000 tickets were sold out within a few hours after the schedule was announced.
Playing the Warriors, D'Antoni took the game seriously.
For a team that needs to run in the system, the opponent has no routine to attack, and it is actually more difficult to run in than to play a strong team, because there is no way to know how the opponent will play blindly.
Brian Shaw can only copy George Karl's style of play to let the Nuggets play Run-and-Shoot, but he himself is not the material that can coach Run-Bomb, don't look at Run-Bomb It seems to be so simple, but so far there are only three people who can use Run-Bomb to play a good record so far: George Carr, Kim Terry, and D'Antoni.
In the last game against the Nuggets, D'Antoni expected early on that this opponent could not be used to run in, if you want to beat them, you don't need any routines, a burst of onslaught is enough, the Lakers offense was the first in the league last season, no one is afraid!
But it's just a preseason game, and D'Antoni would rather let a few young players play more, especially the two rookies to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA more, and lose if they lose.
This game is different, the Warriors are a strong contender for the playoffs, and it can even be described as locking up a playoff spot before the season is played.
Although Mark Jackson is gone, the Warriors' lineup is there, and there is such a pair of backcourt combinations, it is too difficult not to make the playoffs!
D'Antoni really doesn't know what the level of the new Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is, but the Warriors have a phenomenal player like Curry, and he is a good opponent no matter what.
After his phenomenal performance last season, Curry's status in the hearts of fans and coaches has skyrocketed, placing him in the top 10 in both Sports Illustrated and ESPN, marking his entry into the league's top superstars.
The Warriors, who finished fifth to eighth in the playoffs, are the ideal opponent for D'Antoni.
Lakers starters: Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.
Nash continued the truce.
Warriors starters: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee, Bogut.
Jump Ball!
Bogut won the jump ball, and the Warriors attacked first.
As soon as the game began, the Lakers scared the Warriors!
Gasol guards the inside, Green and Liu Ren are everywhere in the three-point line, Jeremy Lin and Kobe Bryant are guarding against three-pointers, and the two guards are also in a very uncomfortable position on the Warriors' inside and outside line, although the two often stand in that place and do not move, but the Warriors feel very uncomfortable.
Last season, the Lakers were just a team whose defensive level barely reached the average level, and the defense relied on momentum, and there was no routine, and now it is still the same group, but it suddenly has a rather routine defense, which makes the Warriors who are not ready for the Lakers to defend systematically at a loss.
Now the Lakers' defensive enthusiasm seems to have declined, and it is much worse than last season when everyone was running around to make up for defense, but in fact, it is to make the defense better while saving physical energy!
Last season, being positive turned into positive, but when you meet a team like Spurs, being too positive becomes a weakness that the opponent takes advantage of.
The Warriors' first few regular offenses were stopped by the Lakers, but instead the Lakers played a wave of defensive counterattacks and played an 8-0 start.
Conventional offensive tactics are contained!
Kerr called a timeout and replaced David Lee with Randle.
Kerr is unhappy with David Lee, not to mention that the defense has been poor, and the offensive end is now so bad.
David Lee hasn't been in good shape since the start of training camp, and the guy who averaged 18.8 points and 9.3 boards per game last season seems to be a different person, and in the Warriors' first game of this year's preseason game against the Jazz, he was defended by Jazz's Derrick Favors with only 2 points and 4 boards.
This game played for more than two minutes, and David Lee didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball, he kept walking on the court, and the offense and defense were not good.
Cole, who has lived through his playing days, knows that David Lee's form has fallen in an avalanche after turning 30!
This is the norm for most ordinary All-Stars, there are only a few superstars in the league who can maintain their condition all the time, and the first person who can stand in their respective positions for a long time after the age of 30 is O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, and James so far in the new century.
Strong ones like Iverson, Maddy, and Wade have all fallen rapidly after the age of 30, and Wade last season is the best example.
David Lee is very normal to slip from an ordinary All-Star to an ordinary 31-year-old veteran, Kerr understands and understands, but David Lee's big contract with an average of 15 million per year and two years is too big for the Warriors who are aiming to win the championship!
Randle, who replaced David Lee, didn't know what it was like when Kerr saw him, and then Kerr turned his head to look at Green, who was explaining his position to his teammates on the bench next door, and Kerr's eyes were full of resentment.
"Stephen, Julius, Andre, the three of you are responsible for organizing the offense, the core of the organization is Julius, you give him more balls, so that Julius can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA......"
The timeout came back, and the Warriors attacked.
In the past two days, Curry has faced off against Liu Ren several times, with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, and the two still maintain a heads-up record of mixed wins and losses.
Therefore, Curry does not have such a great desire to play against Liu Ren for the time being, and the coach wants to train Randle, and Curry simply handed the ball to Randle at half time.
If you want to ask what Randle's biggest impression of Curry is, it is Randle's ball-handling offense, which is a ferocious nonsense......
It's just a blind chisel!
After Randle received the ball, he was like a stunned young man, dribbling the ball and chiseling inside!
"Boom"
Randall beast-style two-handed frame buckle!
Green and Gasol never thought that the rookie they replaced by the other party was such a role!
When Randle dribbled to the inside, Green and Gasol were already crouching on the inside, and their eyes were already looking at whether the opposing player's running player would cut into the air, and they were thinking that they were both standing on the arc of the reasonable collision zone, and the opponent would definitely not come to play blindly, right?
Then Randall went blind, throwing himself in the air before thinking about his next move.
Randall's ferocious slam buckle, looking at the rookie's explosive muscles, Gasol and Green glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Blake Griffin!" ”
