Chapter 68: The First Sweep

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers trailed by 13 points, and Kobe Bryant was desperate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Lakers' lineup this year is really not good, there are not many players who can be used, and being able to enter the playoffs is Kobe Bryant's desperate scoring in the regular season.

In the third quarter, Liu Su came on the court again, with Carman, David Lee, Ryan Gomez, and Mobley. This lineup is also relatively strong, Mobley played because Kobe Bryant didn't play, and he is now avoiding Kobe Bryant.

With Liu Su on the floor, the Clippers have never lacked attacking power, even Hayes, Ndong and Rose, who have the worst offensive ability, can get points.

Kobe Bryant was not there, and the Lakers' offense immediately got rid of the problem, and the point guard was defended to death by Liu Su, which basically had no effect. The offense basically relied on Meme, Cook, and Odom, but except for Odom, who could easily single David Lee, Mime and Cook both struggled or relied on cover to get into the interior, and there was no way to shoot on the outside.

How can one person score more than five? The score is getting bigger and bigger. In the fifth minute, the score difference was more than 20. Kobe Bryant couldn't sit still again, and immediately went off the court in the hope of leading the team to attack and limit Liu Su's play.

As soon as Kobe Bryant came up, Dunleavy Sr. immediately made a substitution, replacing Mobley with Rose. Rose's task is to defend Kobe, which is his biggest role in staying on the team, but he really can't let Kobe go, Kobe can pass him with a cross-step.

But Kobe Bryant still can't go one-to-five, and even with Odom cooperating with him, he can't succeed again and again. Relying on the star whistle, Kobe Bryant made two fouls on David Lee in a row, and Dunleavy Sr. replaced him and then replaced Brand.

David Lee's defense is still problematic, the defense is generally good guards, but the defense of star guards like Kobe Bryant is not good, although the star whistle is disgusting, but it is also a league rule.

In the face of Brand, the star whistle will be much more restrained, and Brand is also a star, and he is also a star who can be an all-star. With Brand's limitations, Kobe and Odom are a much smaller pick-and-roll threat.

Replaced by Odom playing Rose in a misplaced position and shooting outside the restricted area, but Odom's shooting was much worse than that of a guard, and his shooting percentage was not as high as Kobe's, so it was impossible to chase the Clippers' score.

In the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, the difference was still 23 points, and the Lakers had no hope of winning, so they replaced the main team and surrendered.

The Lakers 0:1 Clippers, after the game, the two teams went home to start preparing for the next game.

The next day, the other first games were over, the Western Spurs 1:0 Kings, the Nuggets 0:1 Grizzlies, and the Mavericks 1:0 Suns. Eastern Pistons 1:0 Bucks, Heat 1:0 Bulls, Nets 1:0 Pacers, Cavaliers 1:0 Wizards.

After a day off, the second game was played. The Lakers didn't show much confidence in their pre-game interviews, the Clippers are too strong this season, and the five rookies selected this year are all very good.

At the beginning of the second game, Kobe Bryant once again showed strong offensive power, intending to establish a leading trend first. Rose was replaced with two fouls in the seventh minute under the impact of Kobe, and the elder Dunleavy replaced Mobley and asked Liu Su to switch to defend Kobe, so as not to let Kobe go completely crazy.

In the face of Liu Su, Kobe Bryant also wanted to beat him down like he did against Rose. But Liu Su was not fooled at all, he just used his feet to restrict Kobe's forward path, and then interfered with the shooting, never fouling.

If you can't rush in, Kobe's threat will be reduced by half, it is too difficult to hit Liu Su with his back, and if he takes two steps inside, someone will come up to make up for the defense, but the success rate of passing to others cannot be guaranteed, and the success rate of vacant positions cannot be guaranteed, so it can be seen how bad is the Lakers' lineup?

Liu Su attacked, Kobe defended, Liu Su avoided Kobe Bryant by blocking and dismantling, and could always send fatal assists. Kobe Bryant relied on blocking and dismantling to face Brand's defense, which was too difficult to play alone, and Brand was much taller than him.

In the second half of the second quarter, Bryant's physical strength was not only a problem, but the strenuous exercise consumed too much of his physical strength. Without physical strength, Kobe's touch gradually disappeared.

Kobe Bryant went down to rest, and he didn't get back his touch after playing in the third quarter, and then the Lakers surrendered early again, and the score was pulled to 26 points, which was bigger than the score difference in the first game.

The Clippers won both games 2-0, and the next game will be the Lakers' home court. However, the two teams share the same field, they still play here, and the fans will not change too much, it may still be these people.

Game 3 began two days later, and the Lakers tried to change the lineup, putting Bynum in the starting lineup and letting Cook take the bench. But this change of formation did not play a big role, Bynum is a first-year rookie, has not yet grown up, and is not a match for Kaman at all.

And Cook didn't play much of a role on the bench, although he scored a lot of goals in the offensive end, but Breraxia's defense was not good, and Bynum could also score on his head.

Kobe Bryant's hand was not good in this game, and he didn't score many points on Mobley's head. Kobe Bryant couldn't play, and the Lakers were even less capable of beating the Clippers, and surrendered earlier in Game 3.

Another day later, the fourth battle began. If the Lakers lose this game, they will be swept out, so Kobe Bryant can't afford to lose. Not only did he make up his mind in the pre-match interviews, but he did the same on the pitch.

In four games, Kobe Bryant broke out in two games, and the Lakers fans were very happy, but even if Kobe broke out, there was still no sign of defeating the Clippers, which also made Kobe a little frustrated.

Kobe Bryant went crazy again in the face of Rose's defense, Cook and Odom blocked Kobe many times, and made 6 fouls in one quarter, beating Rose, Brand, and Carman, and the attack power was completely bursting.

However, the two sides scored 36-34 in the first quarter, and the Lakers led by 2 points. Liu Su and Radmanovic finally caught up with the score, Radmanovic made two three-pointers in a row, and then Liu Su scored seven points in a row with the help of David Lee.

In the second quarter, Brand exploded as soon as he came on the court, he was beaten down by Kobe Bryant, and he felt very ashamed, he was also an All-Star, how could he let Kobe run rampant at will? Brand scored six straight points on Odom's head, then gave Bynum a big hat and steal a pass from Mime, making a significant contribution on both ends of the floor.

In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant didn't get off the court, obviously desperate. However, the score did not rise according to Kobe's intentions, but the Clippers caught up with the score, and then overtook it, and it got bigger and bigger.

Kobe Bryant is still on the court in the third quarter, and it seems that he is going to play the whole game! The Clippers sent the strongest lineup, let Liu Su limit Kobe, and let Mobley score on the court.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant's physical strength still had problems, and the super-intense defense aggravated Kobe's physical exertion. Kobe Bryant played until the sixth minute, but he couldn't play anymore, and the score was already 16 points, Kobe Bryant couldn't hold on anymore and almost fell to the floor.

As soon as the Lakers coach saw it, he immediately called a timeout, and then surrendered. Without Kobe, the coach doesn't know how to win the Clippers, and the Clippers' lineup is terrible.
