Chapter 416 [Use one's strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses]

The Clippers' tactic is to hit the ball into the inside line and attack the enemy's weaknesses!

Without Paul Gasol, the attack on the Lakers was devastating, and their inside line retreated. Despite Paul, a good point guard would not help the inside defense, and Bynum would not be of use at all.

In 6 minutes, Brown called a timeout, and the Lakers adopted 122 joint defense to compress defense, which facilitates pressure on players who play singles at low posts. Murphy's defense loopholes are obvious, and the Lakers must use assisted defense to limit the Gasol brothers.

The Lakers' defense was immediately effective, and the Clippers lacked outside shooting points on the field. One minute later, Thibodeau substitution, Stephen Curry, Kevin Love came on the court, replaced Tony Allen, Mark Gasol, and added two pitchers, so the Lakers could not compress the defense. No defensive system could become a magic weapon to suppress the Clippers. They could make adjustments at any time according to their opponent's formation.

After Curry came on the court, Ye Feng no longer had to organize the offense. Love removed the inside line, Ye Feng wanted the ball to the low post, and Ci Shi flatly defended.

This season, Ci Shiping's speed became slower and slower. Ye Feng caught the ball and hit him in the back frame, shook the space twice with a 45-degree angle stroke, and a baseline breakthrough attracted Bynum to pass the ball after defending and assist Gasol to easily score the basket.

The Lakers' tactics are still "Bobe - Playing". After Tony Allen left the court, Ye Feng defended Kobe and maintained high-intensity defense. Originally, Kobe could also use a pull-out jump shot. After Ye Feng targeted him, he had to consider it if he wanted to pull out. Ye Feng jumped so well that he often blocked his shots.

Bynum was defended by Paul Gasol, who was familiar with him at a low post. Only Paul performed well in the Lakers in the first quarter, scoring 10 points, 4 assists and 2 steals. Kobe made 2 of 7 shots and scored 4 points. Ye Feng scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, with a comprehensive performance. The Clippers led by 7 points 32-25.

In the second quarter, the Lakers replaced David Anderson, Murphy, Benix, Capono, and Fisher.

The Clippers sent Love, Yi Jianlian, Hill, Vujasic and Soton.

"Magic" Johnson said: "The Lakers sent a self-destructive lineup, and the main players were replaced. The Clippers Sauton played a guest-take-back point guard, which was no problem for Fisher. Fisher could not defend him. If Paul had not been introduced, Fisher would have made the starting No. 1 position in the Lakers would have been the weakest in the league."

Van Gundy said: "Thomas didn't make the roster in this game. If he and Fisher were in the match, it would be lively."

After the start of the second quarter, Fisher showed people what is the weakest No. 1 position in the league. He was too slow and was only 185cm tall. Sauton gave Fisher a "powerful move" when he came on the court, and made a three-pointer with one step.

One of the major characteristics of the Lakers now is that all five players on the court can shoot three-pointers, but no one is good at holding the ball. Capono is a pure pitcher, David Anderson and Murphy are also good at shooting. The person with the best ball attack is actually young player Benix.

Anderson tried a low post attack, and he was easily resisted by Love on the outside, almost tilted when touched, but his shot was really accurate and he hit a hollow mid-range shot.

The Clippers' offense took the life of the Lakers' substitute. Love pulled to the periphery and let Yi Jianlian attack at the low post. Love's shooting was more reliable than Yi Jianlian and took on the pick-and-roll task. Yi Jianlian waited for his teammates to pass the ball at the low post, and two shooters were ambushed on the outside.

Thorton failed to perform in several games, and this time he fully utilized his offensive ability and made a quick stop and jump shot with Love's cover. In the next round, he used the cover to throw Fisher away from the right to get the ball, passed Anderson into the inside, attracted the defense and passed the ball, assisting Yi Jianlian to easily hit two points; then he assisted Vujasic to hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Yi Jianlian performed well, playing singles at the low post, relied on his speed advantage to turn to the bottom line, and scored a dunk with both hands!

Love didn't score, just took the pick-and-roll and rebounds.

Ye Feng sat down on the court and drank Gatorade and said to Gasol beside him: "Paul, you still have too few moves in the first quarter. Do you want to save face for the Lakers? Today's tactics have been arranged, and you are the boss of the team, even if you make a shot, as long as Bynum makes too many fouls, no one can defend you. Be careful to make him foul."

Gasol laughed and said, "I will try to make him fouls. I attracted the defense at the low post. You can cut from the side. If the opportunity is good, I will pass the ball. I think it's better to pass the ball."

Thibodeau heard them talking next to him and was very satisfied. The biggest feature of the Gasol brothers playing is that it is reasonable. Even if they are told to play casually, they will not be casual. It is a habit to pass the ball to the most appropriate place.

In the 5 minutes of the second quarter, the gap between the two sides widened to 18 points, and the Lakers lost completely. Even if Bynum appeared early and waited for the second team to play, he did not play much role.

Kobe felt extremely upset. He sat on the court, lowered his head and said nothing, and did not watch the game. The photographer gave him the camera, and then gave Ye Feng a close-up. One was silent and depressed, and the other was talking and laughing with his teammates off the court, and was relaxed and at ease. The two's situation formed a sharp contrast.

During the suspension, "Magic" Johnson sighed: "If it weren't for the shrinking season, we have reason to believe that the Clippers can improve their regular season record. They have not encountered threats this season and always win easily. Even if Ye Feng feels bad, his teammates can stand up and score. Gasol, Love, Smith, Curry, and even rookie Thomas have performed beautifully."

Van Gundy smiled and said, "Some people say that Ye Feng deliberately reduced the number of shots this season to make assists. He himself admitted that he would put passes first and help his teammates score. He is now more comprehensive than in previous seasons, with an average of 10.3 assists per game. For an inside player like him, it is really not easy for someone who averages 2 blocks per game to do this."

"Magician" Johnson said: "I personally hope Ye Feng will win the assist king this season. The only one who has won the scoring and assist kings in history is Chamberlain."

After 6 minutes, Ye Feng played again. The other four were Love, Gasol, Smith, and Thorton. Thorton was hot at this moment, and Thorto was not in a hurry to replace him.

Kobe came on the court and faced Ye Feng. The Lakers attacked, Kobe got the ball, and Ye Feng took a step back, put on a pose of invitation, and even looked at the side.

This action immediately angered Kobe. Ye Feng felt that it didn't matter if he asked Kobe to score a goal. If he despises him, he would be more likely to lose his mind and forcefully play. When Kobe took action, Ye Feng didn't even stretch his hand and turned his head directly. This time the outside shot was off and the rebound was taken by Love.

Ye Feng spread his palms, shook his head, and showed a helpless expression. Every season, Kobe always had a few times when he couldn't find the feeling, and he started to hit the iron mode again in this game, and he would shoot in a deviant way without defending.

Kobe was really anxious and took the initiative to face Ye Feng on the defensive end. Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He received the ball from the outside without relying on cover. He transported it to 45 degrees on the right and hung the ball to Gasol in the low post.

Gasol dribbled the ball to Bynum alone, dribbled his right shoulder and turned to the bottom line, with his left foot as the axis, and took a step on his right foot. As soon as Bynum moved the center, Gasol turned in the opposite direction and took a step on his right foot and jumped into the ball.

Ye Feng did not do the main attack in the second quarter, just defense and passing. It was not until the last attack that he suddenly cut in the middle with Love's cover, received a pass from Gasol, and scored a one-handed dunk.

This game is obviously the world in the inside line. Kobe has a bad touch and has a strong shot. He played 5 irons in the end of the second quarter.

Kobe is too competitive and confident people will like him, but Kobe's shooting choices have always been a headache. Brown must have felt this way, but he can't control him. Kobe is Kobe after all, and no matter how people criticize him for his shooting, he will still choose to make a blacksmith as always. He always insists on thinking that he is the most comfortable and correct way of playing. No matter how loud the fans make, he still can't change anything.

After falling behind at halftime, Kobe played on the sidelines depressedly after leaving the court, and began to criticize McRoberts and Murphy when he returned to the lounge. McRoberts couldn't control the foul. After playing for a second quarter, he was replaced because of an unnecessary foul. The two inside players who appeared on the bench had worse defense.

This scene was filmed and broadcast on the big screen. Van Gundy smiled and said, "When the Gasol brothers were there, Kobe was dissatisfied with them. Now they went to the Clippers and defeated the Lakers. Kobe was dissatisfied with his current teammates. I think he would not be happy even if he brought all the stars in the league into the same team as Kobe, because it would be difficult for him to be the one with the most points on the court. I agree with Barkley now. Kobe may be one of the most overrated players. He can only score points, but he will still be in the case of extremely high shooting times. If he is 25 years old, there is no problem with the number of shootings in the league. By this season, he will take more attacks than Durant, James, Ye Feng and others, so he should review it. Of course, no one in the Lakers can make Kobe review now. The team is behind Brown and there is no timeout. There is no way to sit off the court."

"Magician" Johnson didn't help Kobe anymore. The winner was obvious and nothing was useful. He checked the data and Chris Paul only took action once in the second quarter and failed to make the money. The data continued to stay at 10 points.

Paul stopped offense and played soy sauce with Kobe's high-paid "trash teammates" over the years. He passed the ball to Kobe, and then the four of them stood in the position to watch the fun. Paul has always been a hard-working player. When the Hornets were at the most difficult time, he also fought for victory on the court, but when the Lakers were in the Lakers, he became lazy, and no one liked to try his best to run back.

Kobe scored 18 shots in the first half, scored 5, and scored 13 points with free throws. He was no longer playing normally, but was angry. But he could not easily score in front of Ye Feng. Every time Ye Feng defended him, forced him to shoot, and warm applause would sound in the audience.

Is there anything more sad than this for Kobe?
