November 14, the seventh game of the new season for the Lakers.

Home against Sacramento Kings.

The California derby wasn't originally broadcast nationally, but now the Lakers' gimmick is just too much.

Therefore, NBC temporarily changed it to an all-ugly live game.

All NBA fans are curious to know if the Lakers can win at all.

I want to know how Shay, Mr. 30 million, will turn around.

Of course, more people actually came to see Shay overturn than to turn the tables.

The Lakers, as the overlord of the past, really hated too many fans in other places.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, they were abused by Shay and the Lakers back then, and now they definitely want the Lakers to experience what it's like to be beaten to the ground.

"This season, the Lakers have undoubtedly had a terrible start.

Their efficiency on both ends of the pitch has dropped dramatically, and there have been fewer 'showtime' quick counter-attacks.

As the oldest team in the league, the Lakers may really have a hard time getting back to their former glory.

I think Lakers fans have to accept the fact that the peak of the Lakers is over! ”

Scene, Bill. Walton is still not optimistic about the Lakers.

Wharton is not Shay's black fan, but based on objective facts, the Lakers' winning rate is not high.

The Kings started the season with a 5-1 record, and against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Pacers, the Kings limited the opposing side to just 35.6% overall shooting percentage!

It's too much to say that the Kings are a championship contender, but this Kings is undoubtedly a team with strong fighting power.

It is really difficult for the Lakers, who are still in the run-in period, to defeat such an opponent!

On the court, Lakers fans were shouting Shay's name.

The magician who was commenting on the scene was also extremely nervous, he really didn't want to see the team lose again.

There were also some fans from other places who came to the scene.

They sat in the front row and held up some sarcastic signs:

"The highest-paid low-performance player in history."

"Shay defrauded the Lakers of 30 million!"

"After today, the Lakers started 2-5!"

Shay looked at these fans who had traveled thousands of miles to Los Angeles to see his loss, and he was very relieved.

So many people do not hesitate to parachute thousands of miles for me, am I already attractive to this extent?

The game is about to begin, and both starters are in place.

On the Lakers' side, after a few game changes, today's starting lineup is Shay, Lesser Horse, Finley, Robinson and Ewing.

On the king's side, it's Teus. Edney, Richmond, Walter. Williams, Brian. Grant and Alden. Polines.

The King's squad is not luxurious, but it is very balanced, everyone has their own role, and everyone is selfless.

Except for Richmond, the number of shots and scoring data of the other starters of the whole team is not much different.

This is a united team that can blossom a little more!

Finley took a deep breath before the match began, as if he was a little nervous.

Today, Carlisle really arranged for him to defend Richmond.

Carlisle also knew he had to put Finley through the regular season.

It's better to be beaten now than to be beaten again in the playoffs!

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

Ewing is fighting for the first offense, and the Lakers are no longer looking for speed this season, because most people can't keep up with that fast pace.

The Lakers put on an offensive stance, Finley, Curry and Robinson pulled away from outside the three-point line, and Shay and Ewing waited for an opportunity to play alone.

Shay didn't give the ball to Ewing, because Ewing's current offensive form is very average, averaging only 14.6 points per game in the first six games, and the shooting percentage is about to exceed 50%.

After all, the gorillas haven't played in an official game for more than a year, and even Jordan has to take time to find his form.

And because of injuries, the gorilla has not been able to gain weight, which has affected his ability to attack in the low post.

And because the force feels different after a cruciate ligament tear, Ewing also needs to find a new feeling for technical finishing.

So, now the Lakers are ostensibly a dual core inside and outside.

It's actually 1.5 cores.

Ewing? Old 0.5 only.

The Kings are responsible for defending Shay by the team's No. 2 man, Walter. Williams, the tough small forward, averaged 1.6 steals per game last season.

The perimeter defensive chain he and Richmond have built is a nightmare for countless teams.

Last season's outstanding performance also made Walter . Williams swelled.

I felt like I was qualified to trash talk at Shay.

"Come on Shay, you're a poisonous snake with a tooth pulled out now, and there's no threat anymore!

You could beat us in the playoffs last season, but now, you're the prey! ”

Shay didn't dwell on Williams for long, not even the desire to talk trash with him.

What stinky fish and rotten shrimp, why should I bother?

With two "snaps", Shay swept past Williams with a quick forward change of direction.

Halfway through, Shay paused abruptly.

Walter. Williams immediately raised his center of gravity, thinking Shay was going to make a pull-up jumper.

In the last two races, Shay has shown that he is consistent in the middle distance.

Shay's mid-range shooting this season, no one dares to put it casually!

But just while Walter. Williams raised his center of gravity to interfere with the shot, but Shay accelerated again, which made him directly throw off the counterpoint!

Therefore, after the attributes of the CIC are added up, it is not just as simple as the CIC is accurate.

Accurate in the shot, which in turn can make the breakthrough easier!

With a ball like the one just now, last season, if Shay paused in the middle range, the defenders would never raise their center of gravity to shoot.

If Shay wants to continue to pass, he will either rely on his body to hit hard, or he will change direction again.

But now there is no need to be so troublesome, Shay only needs to move and move suddenly, and then slam into the depths! can make the other side can't stand it!

Walter. Williams thought his defense was seamless, but he was still stabbed by Shay.

Shay stepped inside, and the Kings' fast-moving lanky high school forward Polines came up to help defend him, while Williams immediately chased Shay to his side.

In order to catch up with Shay, Williams is already chasing at full speed.

Shay was more than capable of scoring the ball with a nice pull move in a double block.

Or change it to a pass and stuff the ball into Ewing's mid-range shot.

However, neither of those two plans was humiliating enough in Shay's opinion!

Shay wants Williams to know that he is not a player of the same grade as himself!

As a result, Shay, who broke through at great speed, suddenly pulled back from his crotch, and retreated with an emergency stop!

Walter. Williams braked hard, but because he had just been running at full speed, the inertia was too great.

So after a brake, he staggered forward, was shaken to the bottom line, and then almost fell!

Look at Walter. Williams was shaken off by Shay, and there was a huge cheer from within the Great Western Forum.

Williams propped up the ground with his hand, so that he didn't fall directly.

In a fit of rage, he straightened up and prepared to re-attach himself to Shay, but when he got back up and faced the court, he saw that Shay had jumped into the air and slammed into him.

"Bang!"

The basket made a loud noise, and Shay spread his legs and rode on Walter. on Williams.

After Shay shook Williams away, he immediately gave him another dunk, humiliating his opponent twice in one round, and directly filling the shame!

After the dunk landed, Shay looked at the embarrassed Walter. Williams, shaking his finger at him: "Even if my tooth is really pulled out, you are still vulnerable!" Because, you're as soft as a cupcake! ”

This first offense saw Lakers fans orgasm directly in the skull.

Shake down + buckle a dragon, Shay deserves to be the dairy giant of the alliance!

But at this point, Bill. Wharton poured cold water on him:

"Shay's offense this season has reached the point of doing whatever he wants, and ordinary players can't prevent him at all.

But after the first six games, the Lakers' biggest problem is not offense, but defense!

Attacking, Shay can be held up by himself temporarily.

But defense, Shay can't do it alone.

Let's see if the Lakers' defense can succeed next!

This is the key to deciding whether the Lakers can win the game! ”

Indeed, the culprit behind the Lakers' 2-4 start was actually defense.

Unable to play the familiar pressing style of defence, Carlisle and Thibodeau developed a new, man-to-man and positional defense-based system.

It's just that in the first five games, the Lakers generals have adapted very poorly to this system.

It wasn't until the last game against the Nuggets that the defense improved slightly.

As we all know, defense is actually more a test of teamwork and tacit understanding than offense.

The offense of a basketball game can sometimes really be watched by one person against four people.

But defense doesn't work, and no team with a top defense can be held up by the ability of one person.

There are some things, but there is a sense of obstruction at the beginning, but the more you get it, the more moist it is, the smoother it becomes~ The defensive system is like this, and it must be slowly grinded through time.

Carlisle looked nervously at the pitch and hoped that today, the defense would continue to improve!

After the Kings hit half court, they naturally handed the ball to Richmond, last season's All-Star MVP winner.

As soon as Richmond received the ball, he saw the 22-year-old who looked like a 52-year-old defending himself.

It's not Shay who defends him, it's Finley!

Finley was very serious, but Richmond didn't feel any pressure.

Heh, let a rookie defend me?

Look for death!

He used a quick Hardaway-like crossover to break through and try to get to the basket from the middle.

Just when Richmond thought he could easily wipe into the penalty area, the always docile Finley slammed into it, and his hand secretly pushed Richmond to keep Richmond out!

Finley's mind was full of yesterday's Shay's phrase, "Do you know why you fell out of the lottery?" Because you're a good person."

Isn't this just a way to say I'm soft!

He wants to prove to Shay that Lao Tzu is not a soft egg!

Shay smiled with satisfaction as he watched Finley's defensive moves grow larger.

This new defensive system is extremely demanding on the perimeter defenders.

Shay's defensive ability is strong, but Shay still has to be responsible for the offense, and it is impossible to defend the opponent's outside arrows every game, right?

There is no need to count on the defense of the inferior horse, he can only do it without losing his position, but he can never become a defensive gate.

So, Shay needs Finley to step up!

Richmond was a little surprised, he didn't expect Finley to be so manic.

However, Richmond is one of Jordan's "three hardest guards" to handle, and he will not be completely crushed by this level of defense.

He was keenly aware that Finley's defensive position was not directly in front of him, but rather too far to his right.

Richmond then changed direction and broke to the left!

Seeing Richmond's successful breakthrough, the corners of Carlisle's mouth were slightly hooked.

This. Did the defense really become?

Richmond thought he had found a scoring opportunity keenly, but he was walking towards a death trap!

After Richmond broke through, the Lakers still had no one to pinch him.

This is a few seasons ago, who dares to break into such a deep position, has long been pressed and forced to pass.

But today's Lakers didn't, and after Richmond broke through to a deeper mid-range position, it was still Finley who was defending him alone.

Every Lakers player has their eyes on their alignment.

Finley defended roughly, with both hands and feet.

Finley was motivated by the contemptuous look in Shay's contemptuous eyes, by the ugly trash words that Shay had insulted him.

Keep your eyes open and look at it, Lao Tzu is not garbage!

Richmond was denied a chance by Finley's ferocious defense, and he selflessly wanted to pass the ball, but the Lakers' resolute man-to-man defense made him unable to find a passing target.

There was no way, Richmond directly continued to carry Finley into the basket directly!

But as soon as Richmond jumped up to hold up the basketball, a dark shadow suddenly covered the basket.

He broke into gorilla territory.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball was slammed on the rebound with one hand by Ewing!

is still the same sentence, although Ewing's mobility has deteriorated, he is still the best in the world when he stands and defends!

If you dare to break into the forbidden area, just wait to eat the special hot pot!

Richmond was confused, feeling as if the Lakers' defense was not tight, not even a bag, and it was easy for him to break into the restricted area.

But. How did you finish the calf?

Carlisle laughed happily, it seems that everyone has begun to get used to the new system!

Now that the Lakers are not so strong in rotation and pinch ability, Carlisle has developed a defensive system based on one defense and one defense.

In the past, the Lakers focused on defending the ball, and everyone ran with the ball and put pressure on the ball.

Now it's about guarding against people, everyone is staring at their own people, and they don't easily attack.

The outside defender then adopts the strategy of "blocking the middle and forcing both sides" against the opponent's ball carrier, and always keeps the ball close.

As a result, the opponent can't get space to shoot, and there is no passing target, so they can only go inside.

Step by step, lure the other party into the gorilla's jungle of death.

In the end, Ewing turned out to be the attacker!

The opponent will either shoot close to the top in the middle distance, or go straight to the basket against Ewing, and choose one each of the red and blue agate!

This defensive strategy may not be able to make as many mistakes as the opponent did before, and it will not be able to counterattack with mistakes.

But in the end, as long as you can prevent the opponent from scoring, that's enough!

Forcing mistakes is just a means of not allowing the opponent to score.

This more strategic defensive system was the favorite of the old thieves of Vicky in the original history.

The combination of kawaii + Duncan and Bowen + Duncan relied on this move to make the Spurs a strong defensive team and let the Spurs win the championship.

And Carlisle and Thibodeau used this set on the Lakers in advance in this history!

In order to achieve the goal of keeping the outside ball holder close to the outside at any time and not losing his position, this strategy has extremely high requirements for outside defense, which is why Shay is so harsh on Finley!

Because Finley can't get up, this system can't be beaten!

But for now. There's a play!

Seeing that the first defense of the day was so successful, Carlisle was also full of confidence.

The Lakers didn't rush to fight back, and Shay also received the ball in the backcourt, unhurriedly approaching the Kings' defensive position.

As long as the defensive problem can be solved, then the offense is for Shay now

It's as easy as eating and sleeping!

Los Angeles, it's time for dawn!

Today's 10,000-word update is presented, kneeling and begging for a monthly pass!
