Bazemore returned to the Staples Center, and last season Bazemore made a big contribution to the Lakers' revival again, working diligently on the bench for the Lakers' second team, although he left the Lakers to play as a starter for the Hawks, but he returned to the Staples Center and the fans still gave him a round of applause. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wow, Kenta, you're doing well with the Eagles, you're all starters, and this time you're playing against me?" Liu Ren stepped forward to say hello to Bazemore.

Bazemore could only smile bitterly when he saw Liu Ren's fighting spirit: "I suddenly don't want to play as a starter now, don't be so serious, okay." ”

Liu Ren thought about it and nodded very seriously: "Okay, I won't knock you to death, just hit you half to death." ”

“……”

Bazemore said he was tired!

With both teams exchanging players who were important to their re-emergence last season and who had good relationships with other players in their respective teams, the two teams did not have the same tension as they did last time in Atalanta, and the two sides were more harmonious before the game.

However, once the game started, the atmosphere on the field was different.

The Lakers' ultimate goal this year is undoubtedly a championship, and the record has been locked in the first place in the league.

It's the same with the Hawks, they're already first in the East, and the only thing left is to win the championship, even if they've been ranked behind the Knicks and Cavaliers, but they're still first in the East.

The Hawks also want to beat the Lakers, they want to make it to the Finals and then beat the Lakers to win the championship!

Soon the game began.

Lakers starters: Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Gasol.

The starting lineup on the Hawks' side is Teague, Bazemore, Carroll, Millsap, and Horford.

Encountering Horford, who is also not good at bouncing, Gasol finally won the jump ball again after many days, which is worth celebrating for Lakers fans.

Hearing the fans cheering at the sight of a jump ball win, Gasol was also slightly embarrassed.

The Lakers attack first.

Clarkson advanced to the frontcourt, the Lakers opened an open formation, putting Gasol and Green in the high post, as soon as Clarkson arrived in the frontcourt, Liu Ren immediately ran from in front of Gasol, using Gasol's cover to insert the inside line under the basket.

Gasol went up to catch the ball, Green blocked Clarkson without the ball, and Horford, who was on the Hawks' inside, had to pull out, leaving Millsap alone to defend Liu Ren on the inside.

Gasol immediately made a smooth pass to the ground, and the ball went to Liu Ren's hands.

In this game, D'Antoni's idea was to scuttle through the inside first, and it was better to cause a foul to knock Millsap down.

Liu Ren hit Millsap with his back, and he only had one back hitting technique, strong eating!

Liu Ren violently slammed into the back, Millsap couldn't stop it immediately, and took this opportunity Liu Ren used his lame turn to pick up the high jump throwing board!

Millsap's defensive technical players are very powerful, but this kind of hard play, he really can't help it, he can only watch Liu Ren's high throw fall into his own basket.

Today, the Lakers played Liu Ren at the beginning, played low at the beginning, and decisively bullied the other party with Liu Ren's super physical fitness.

The key reason why the Hawks aren't considered a true championship-caliber team is because they don't have a strong defensive small forward like Leonard, Iguodala and James.

Can't defend the low post at all, which is the weakest link of the Eagles.

As far as Liu Ren is a small forward, he fell to the low post, and the Hawks except for Horford, who has the ability to defend in the low post, everyone else was pressed and beaten by Liu Ren.

It's not just the Lakers who will use this method to deal with the Hawks, but the Warriors, Cavaliers, Rockets, Clippers, and Knicks all bully the Hawks in this way.

And once the Hawks use Horford to defend these low-post players, the Hawks' interior defense will be over, and these teams will have big and tall men, standing on the other side of the interior and directly receiving the ball and playing high.

Millsap is only two meters and three meters tall, as tall as Liu Ren, James, and Anthony, and defending a real center is a disaster!

However, the Eagles have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and there are not a few people who have been bullied like this this year, and they have long been mentally prepared.

It was the Eagles' turn to attack.

Teague slowed down and allowed Horford, a not-so-fast center, to fall into position.

Playing positional warfare is the Eagles' forte.

Teague got to the front court and passed to Bazemore, then made a quick run off the ball along the touchline and baseline.

Millsap helped Teague do a good job of covering on the baseline, and Horford also helped Carroll do a cover on the other side.

The Hawks' tactical movement is really powerful, they are not like Popovich who has a troika under his hands, unlike the Raptors who have two guns in the backcourt, but their record is indeed the best among the three teams in the Spurs system, because their tactics are really good!

The Hawks' double-ball no-ball cover is very powerful, the Lakers' defense focuses on Teague, Bazemore passed to Carroll, who received the ball, Carroll took the ball but did not attack by himself, he broke through and attracted Liu Ren's supplementary defense, and then passed to Teague, this time Teague and Carroll attracted the Lakers' three-man defense on the outside, and Bazemore's top arc was empty! Teague immediately passed back to Bazemore, who was at the top of the arc.

The Hawks played very complicated in the first round, very patient, and very Hawkish style, but unfortunately Bazemore missed the three-point shot.

Although it was missed, the Eagles had a hard time moving the ball in a way that many teams struggled to do.

The Hawks missed the shot, and Gasol protected the backcourt rebound and immediately passed the ball to Clarkson.

The Hawks defended quickly, and the Lakers didn't play fast.

Clarkson took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant, two players with shooting ability, immediately opened up the space at a 45-degree angle on the left and right, and then Gasol and Green came up to Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant to block and dismantle without the ball.

Exactly the same tactics as the Eagles!

D'Antoni has fallen in love with this style of play that mimics the tactics of his opponents since he first succeeded in imitating the Rockets' play, and once the opponent cracks their imitation, it is to help the Lakers find a way to deal with them!

Of course, some teams can't imitate the opponent's style of play, such as the Warriors' backcourt double guns, and the Cavaliers' style of play is also unique, and there is no way to imitate.

But most teams, including championship contenders like the Rockets and Hawks, can be emulated, because they basically don't have any position that is far superior to the Lakers' position.

Comparatively speaking, Kobe, who often abuses various "animal" teams, is a greater threat to the Hawks, so Clarkson passes the ball to Liu Ren, who falls into the low post after receiving another pick-and-roll.

Liu Ren once again backed Millsap, this time the Eagles did not dare to continue to let Liu Ren easily single Millsap, and Carroll, who was switched to defend Gasol, hurriedly came back to wrap up.

Liu Ren gave the ball to Gasol for the first time, and Gasol shot from mid-distance......

Miss!

Gasol missed, and Millsap and Carroll on the inside caught Liu Ren and grabbed the defensive rebound and passed to Teague, who took the ball and quickly dribbled the ball forward.

Defensive counterattacks are also one of the tactics of the Eagles.

However, the Lakers retreated too quickly, the Lakers' strategy of grabbing offensive rebounds is very clear, except for the players who play singles inside, only Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside can stay in the front court to grab rebounds in Bickerstaff's tactics, and others will quickly retreat after shooting, and they can't be beaten fast by the opponent because of the impact of offensive rebounds.

Gasol ran back as soon as he made a mid-range shot, plus Kobe Bryant and Clarkson who returned to the defense, and the Lakers already had three people back to defend, and Teague and Bazemore's fast down did not play a role.

At this time, the Hawks decisively fell into position, and when the other players were in place, they immediately started the double-ball blocking and dismantling tactics again, completely opening up the space, and the other four Lakers who did not suffer from the speed did not watch the opponent block and dismantle this time, but stepped forward to mark the defense, so Teague was alone in the middle and Clarkson heads-up.

Teague is not bad at speed, but Clarkson is not slower than Teague, and he is fierce and not afraid of fouls at all, anyway, there is another Jeremy Lin on the bench who has the strength of the NBA starter or above and Nash who can play well in a short period of time, Clarkson is not afraid of fouls at all.

Teague couldn't break through, so he had to turn around and pass the ball to Horford, who was back to Gasol on the left midfield.

Horford took the ball in the high post and shot directly at Gasol's long arm from the middle distance, Gasol interfered very well, and Horford forced a missed shot.

In the first two minutes of today's game, both teams did not play well.

The Hawks encountered the Lakers' tenacious defense and it was basically difficult to take advantage, and even if the Lakers simulated the Hawks' style of play, they did not succeed in trying to easily open the score.

Both teams have a high intensity defensively and have some difficulty scoring.

This game looks very lively, but it's the same as masturbating, a meal is as fierce as a tiger, and the score is only 2-0.

In the next few rounds, both sides are trying, and the Lakers use the Hawks' offensive style to attack, but unfortunately the Lakers' side and the Hawks' scoring points in Horford and Millsap's position are not very good in the middle range today, and the Hawks' side Horford and Millsap also have a bad hand.

At this moment, the two interior lines of the two teams playing the same tactics were dumb.

The Hawks missed another offense, and Liu Ren grabbed a defensive rebound and handed it to Clarkson to advance.

Liu Ren clapped his hands at D'Antoni as he ran to the frontcourt, and then pointed to himself, meaning that I was coming, D'Antoni nodded, and now the situation is a little stiff, and there has been no sports score for several minutes.

"This Budenholzer's tactics are not very Yang!" D'Antoni complained about the Eagles' tactics, and he agreed with Liu Ren's idea of coming on his own, and he was originally going to use the player's individual strength to break the situation.

The Lakers attacked, Liu Ren pointed to the inside, and then pointed to the basket, Clarkson immediately used Green's blocking and dismantling to break into the inside, attracting Millsap to make up for the defense, Liu Ren forced acceleration on the weak side to get rid of Carroll and enter the interior to face Horford.

Liu Ren jumped high after entering the inside line, and Clarkson's pass was just right......

Horford actually withdrew from the inside line at the first time and gave it directly to Liu Ren, who easily caught the dunk in the air.

It's not that Horford is cowardly, but since the Hawks defeated the Lakers once at the beginning of last season, Horford was deducted enough by Liu Ren in the next two encounters, and there is already a psychological shadow.

Even Howard and Jordan Jr. couldn't stop Liu Ren, who had already rushed up, and he Hoford wouldn't be in the limelight......

With Liu Renkong taking over, the score, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally changed, 4-0.

But that's a really low score! The fans were going to fall asleep watching the tactics of the two teams.

Liu Ren used his personal strength to cooperate with Clarkson to break the deadlock, and the Hawks began to play less rigidly with tactics, shooting when they had a little opportunity, which played more than three points and did not score a point for nearly four minutes.

Not to mention, the Hawks' offense this year is indeed not bad, and the outside shooting accuracy is good, which lets go of the play and finally starts to score.

However, both teams scored late, and by the official timeout in the seventh minute of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was only 10-7, and the Lakers only led by 3 points.
