The opening game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies may not have attracted too much attention, after all, although the Clippers are very popular, there are also many hot teams in this league, such as the Heat, the Thunder, and the Lakers, all of which are hot and powerful teams in the ball market.

However, the second game of the Clippers' regular season was the most anticipated game in the country.

Clippers vs Lakers.

The grievances between these two teams are not a matter of one or two days, for the Clippers, they have completed the surpassing of the Lakers, the big brother in the same city, last season, but the Lakers don't think so, especially after the introduction of Howard and Nash this year, they feel that they have a well-deserved boss in Los Angeles!

The preseason fiasco didn't make the Lakers realize anything, it was just the team's discomfort in the run-in process, anyway, the super big four lineup of Kobe + Nash + Gasol + Howard looks more luxurious than the big three of Wang Cannon + Paul + Griffin.

As early as before the game, Kobe Bryant bluntly said on his personal Twitter that this will be the Lakers' revenge battle!

But Bryant's Twitter was ridiculed by many Clippers fans.

"A battle for revenge? Revenge for all 10 preseason losses? Or the revenge of a two-game losing streak at the start of the regular season? It's a laughing death. ”

Indeed, the Lakers had already lost two regular season games before the game against the Clippers, and counting the first two games they lost last year, the Lakers had already created a spectacle in the history of the team, and this time, the Lakers' losing streak is likely to continue to expand, because the Lakers' new F4 run-in is really worrying.

Not to mention the unskillful coordination between Gasol and Howard, the two interior twin towers, the problem of ball possession alone is already very troublesome.

Nash is a guy who needs to control the ball at all times, and Kobe Bryant is a guy who doesn't attack without the ball, when the two of them are together. Often, the combat power will change from 1+1=2 to 1+1=0.

This is quite a tragic thing, and what is even more tragic is that the Lakers and head coach Mike Brown do not have the ability to coordinate the distribution of the ball between the two men.

All in all, the Lakers had a problem with the Clippers last year when they first formed the Big Three, and the problem was even more severe than the Clippers.

It's just that a lot of Lakers fans don't realize it.

The game between the Clippers and the Lakers is on the Lakers' side.

In the past. Whether it is the home court of the Lakers or the Clippers, as long as these two teams have a derby, then the home court will always become the Lakers, and the sound of countless fans cheering will make the Clippers feel a little bit of home atmosphere except for the floor.

Now, the same is happening with the Lakers.

The Clippers fans are actually coming more and more, although not to the extent that they have not yet suppressed the large number of Lakers fans, but they have also managed to compete with Lakers fans on the Lakers' home court.

For the Clippers, that was enough for the Lakers to feel the cheers and cheers of the home fans. It's already a very rewarding thing.

It is for this reason that Kobe Bryant's face has always been very bad, and for a player who has experienced a career with the Lakers for more than ten years, it is indeed uncomfortable to see his home court filled with a large number of fans from other teams.

"Hey! Hello guys! Now Los Angeles is the place to be! Compared to Kobe Bryant's strictness, Howard seems very optimistic.

In fact, Howard himself is a heartless optimist, for him. Being happy is the most important thing, just like decisively abandoning the Magic to the Lakers.

"King Cannon. It's a shame that we didn't be able to compete with you at the Olympics, but we're all young, so it's too late to compete at the next Olympics. Howard looked at Wang Cannon with a smile and said, "But now, I have to guard the Lakers basket, you must be careful." Don't let me cover the hot pot. ”

"If you can build it, you can try it." Wang Cannon pursed his lips, and suddenly found that Howard seemed to be even more mountain cannon than himself.

In the process of warming up, Wang Cannon was idle and bored, and glanced at the arena a few times, but he swept a familiar person. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking closely, a tall blonde beauty was sitting in the front row, smiling at herself.

"Taylor. Swift? ”

Wang Dacang didn't expect that Taylor would also come back to watch the basketball game.

After all, he also knows that Taylor doesn't like to watch basketball very much, and her relationship with basketball is only that she sang a few songs when she was an All-Star.

So seeing Taylor actually come to see the game, Wang Cannon was somewhat surprised.

But when he got to the little kid sitting next to Taylor, Wang Cannon was a little clear.

Justin. Bieber, Taylor's friend, a teenage singer, although Wang Cannon doesn't like to listen to his songs, but I have also heard of him, he is a die-hard fan of the Lakers, although he can't watch every game because of work, but whenever the Lakers play a key game, Bieber will always come to the scene to cheer.

Wang Cannon has seen Bieber many times on the Lakers' home court before.

The reason why Taylor came to watch the game was probably pulled by Bieber.

Thinking of this, Wang Cannon smiled and nodded to Taylor.

Taylor was looking at Wang Cannon at this time, and nodded with a smile when he saw this.

"Wang Cannon is greeting you?" Taylor's actions did not escape Bieber's eyes, and he was immediately a little unhappy, "Taylor, you know, I'm a Lakers fan!" ”

Taylor suddenly laughed, "You're a Lakers fan, what does it have to do with me saying hello to Wang Cannon?" ”

"But he's from the Clippers! He's the enemy of my team! Bieber said.

"Justin, I don't watch the ball." Taylor shook his head, "You are my friend, Wang Cannon is also my friend, I just said hello to my friend, and it doesn't matter to me who wins or loses." ”

"Cut." Bieber snorted a little dissatisfied, "Anyway, the Lakers will definitely win this game!" ”

Taylor smiled and didn't argue with Bieber.

But seriously, Taylor came to watch this game. Although there are reasons for Bieber's strong invitation, the most important thing is that this game is a game between the Lakers and the Clippers.

Taylor hadn't seen Wang Cannon for half a year, so this time he had the idea of taking a look at Wang Cannon by the way.

Taylor's main area of activity is in New York, and he doesn't have a lot of time in Los Angeles, and the formation of each schedule is quite tight.

The reason why I didn't call Wang Cannon. As long as it is because Taylor feels that the two of them are easy to cause a scandal together, the previous cohabitation scandal has caused such a big sensation, if it weren't for the news that Wang Cannon and Taylor have not had any contact for so long, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be so easy to end.

Wang Cannon didn't think about it that much, just said hello and stopped paying attention, the game was about to start, and now the focus was on the game with the Lakers.

To be honest, although the Lakers' previous record was a mess, no one really dares to underestimate the current Lakers. The name alone of a Super F4 group can scare a lot of people, and as long as there are two or three players who go berserk, the average team will definitely not be able to bear it.

Although the Clippers seem to be very calm in this game, they actually take it very seriously, and as one of the most competitive opponents in the West, the Clippers will definitely not give up the victory against the Lakers.

In the opening jump ball stage, Jordan Jr. and Howard were on par in bounce, but it may have been the reason why they didn't adapt to the new arena. Howard jumped a little slower by half a beat, allowing Jordan Jr. to flick the ball through.

Just look at the panel lineup. The Lakers and Clippers should be on par, after all, it is different from Paul, although the tandem ability is flickering, but the wheel defense, Nash is much worse than Paul.

Defensively, Paul can limit Nash's offense a bit. But when Nash faced Paul, he was completely blown up, so the Clippers had the advantage in point guard.

In terms of scoring guards, it is still a battle between Kobe Bryant and Matthews, and the Lakers still have the upper hand.

Needless to say, the small forwards side. Wang Dacang and Ci Shiping, who is strong and who is weak has long been decided.

In terms of power forwards, there is some trouble, Griffin has been hot in recent years, but in the game with the Lakers, facing the experienced Gasol, he will always suffer some dark losses, these losses are not particularly big disadvantages, but overall, they will also make Griffin's appearance much worse than usual. So in this position, the Lakers still have a slight advantage.

As for the last point, the center, the result is undoubted, Jordan Jr.'s interior defense ability and rebounding ability are very good, but compared with Howard, the league's No. 1 center, the gap is still quite large.

In this way, the Lakers should have a slight advantage, after all, there are three positions on the court that are dominant.

But no one expected that from the very beginning of the game, it fell directly into a one-sided situation.

"Wang Cannon received a pass from Paul on the outside, and he is now empty! Lightning-fast three-point shot! Ball in and pull! The opening game is 12:0, and the Clippers' start is really fantastic! ”

The crowd was in a completely different polar state at this moment, with the Clippers players cheering and the Lakers fans looking gloomy.

Kobe Bryant looked at the difference in the score on the timer, his face was gloomy and scary, he never expected that this game would become such a situation from the beginning.

In just a few minutes, the Lakers' entire team played in a mess, not at all like what a successful team should look like, on the other hand, the Clippers played quite reasonably and efficiently, and every offense was quite threatening.

Especially Wang Cannon, in the first few minutes, he only shot twice, but he hit all of them, an inside to grab an offensive rebound to make up a dunk, and an outside three-pointer, all of which seemed to be at ease. On the Lakers' side, several offenses were all taken down by the Clippers.

What made Kobe even more angry was that Howard, the guy, not only failed to fulfill his promise to cover the king cannon with a hot pot, but was covered by the king cannon in front of him.

This Nima is F4? Is this Nima the Big Four?

Although the regular season has only been played for three games, Kobe Bryant already has a faint feeling that something is wrong in his heart.

The current Lakers F4 seems to be more watery than the one in 03, although the Lakers F4 lineup in 03 did not win the championship in the end, but after all, it also reached the finals, and the regular season record is scary.

But now? Two consecutive defeats at the beginning of the regular season, looking at the momentum today, I'm afraid I will have to kneel in the third game!

Kobe Bryant knows that in this situation, he can't rely on others, he has to do it himself.

With this in mind, Kobe Bryant began to control the team's offense on his own.

Although Kobe Bryant is 34 years old this year, his scoring ability is still terrifying, and under his non-stop attack, the Lakers' score has only turned a little bit. However, the situation is still not optimistic, because the Lakers cannot limit the Clippers' offense.

That's true, the Lakers' interior twin towers look very scary, Gasol plus Howard, but in terms of defense, they look quite average, to be exact, quite water.

Gasol and Howard, the two interior twin towers, in the face of the breakthrough of Paul and others, can not effectively assign details such as who makes up for the defense and who guards the basket, to put it bluntly, it is still the reason why the run-in is not enough.

Therefore, although the Lakers seem to be extremely bullish, and they have made an F4 lineup coolly, but in fact, after sending away Bydam, who has been running in with Gasol for many years, the overall strength of the Lakers has not only become stronger, but has become weaker.

"How so? Kobe Howard: What are they doing? Bieber watched the game on the field with some distraction, but the game was going in a direction he didn't expect at all.

And Taylor, who was sitting next to Bieber, kept looking at Wang Cannon.

Seriously, the change of Wang Cannon surprised Taylor a little, first of all, his weight has really lost a lot of weight, and secondly, his style of play on the court has also changed a lot.

Although Taylor doesn't watch the ball, she still understands the basic rules and playing styles, especially the playing style of Wang Cannon, who has paid attention to Wang Dacang's playing style before, is the type that doesn't kill three thousand, which is completely different from the smart playing style now.

But Taylor had just thought about it when he saw Wang Cannon suddenly rushing into the inner line with Ci Shiping, and he forcibly came to Gasol with an extremely domineering block.

"Boom!" With the sound of the basketball dunking into the basket, the whole arena was in a boil, they hadn't seen Wang Cannon's slam dunk like this for a long time, to be exact, the Clippers' three famous spring men, Wang Cannon, Griffin, and Little Jordan have not been powerful for a long, long time.

Seeing Wang Cannon's appearance of standing under the basket with his mouth wide open and roaring loudly after dunking, Taylor couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Okay, when I didn't say it." (To be continued......)
