Chapter 239
Los Angeles Clippers starting lineup: Point guard: Curry, shooting guard: Gordon, small forward: Russell, power forward: David Lee, center: Su Hao. Los
Angeles Lakers starting lineup: Point guard: Fisher, shooting guard: Kobe, small forward: Odom, power forward: Gasol, center: Bynum
"come on!" Barkley was excited in the commentary booth.
"Fisher, who has a three-point shot from the baseline and a strong physique that can fight against LeBron.
""Black Mamba" Kobe, last year's FMVP, how strong he is needless to say.
Odom is known as the"left-handed magician", he is an extremely versatile player.
Pau Gasol, the second in command of the Lakers, an All-Star player, his overall strength is second only to Kobe.
Center Bynum, he is known as the"little shark", and his physical fitness is also extremely explosive.
The Lakers' starting lineup is really both offensive and defensive, and it is outrageously strong.
And it is worth mentioning that.
Generally speaking, the Lakers' starting small forward is Artest, but tonight they used a three-high lineup at the beginning of the game.
The purpose is very simple.
The Lakers also fully recognize the strength of"Hulk" Su Hao, and are ready to use the power of the three inside players to encircle Su Hao.
"Phil Jackson, the"Zen Master", is very smart.
He knows... as long as they defeat Su Hao, as long as they can contain the"Hulk" to a certain extent, the Lakers will win!
Of course.
The whole league knows that they have to use this method to limit Su Hao and defeat the Clippers.
But it seems that no team has really done it so far.
The Clippers are the defending champions, can they do it tonight? Let us wait and see!"
"That's right."
Reggie Miller nodded heavily, and he took over and said:"The Los Angeles derby that the whole world is looking forward to is here!
Both teams are very strong.
This is a battle like Mars hitting the Earth.
Who will win? Let's see the truth in the upcoming main game!!!" accompanied by the passionate commentary of the two commentators
"Jump ball!"
Su Hao and Bynum are fighting for the ball.
Bynum is known as the"Little Shark", and this is not just talk, but is directly related to his talent.
He is 213 cm tall, with a wingspan of 229 cm and a weight of 129 kg. His running jump can reach an astonishing 90 cm.
This comprehensive talent is really unique.
Of course.
God opens a door for him and closes a window.
His physical fitness is full, but he is a little similar to McGee, belonging to the top players below the head. He is extremely talented, but his basketball IQ is average.
But because his talent ceiling is too high, his achievements in his NBA career are much better than McGee.
However.
Even if"Little Shark" Bynum is so talented, he still has to step back a little in front of"Hulk" Su Hao.
Height 230 cm, wingspan 244 cm, weight 400 kg, bench press 320 kg.
Compete with talent?!
Sorry, Su Hao has never lost.
Su Hao has never lost even once in the fight for the ball so far this season, which is also a recognition of his historical physical talent.
Tonight?... so is it.
""Pah!"
Su Hao jumped seriously, giving Bynum enough respect, and didn't knock the basketball over his head.
Curry took over and pushed forward, executing the first attack of the Los Angeles derby for the Clippers.
As soon as he pushed over,
Kobe rushed over, lowered his center of gravity, stretched out his long arms, and defended seriously.
It was a suffocating defense.
"hiss……"
Curry's mouth twitched fiercely. Kobe's defense put him under great pressure.
He waved his hands and signaled to set a screen.
Rasor came up.
But Kobe had already been staring at the pick-and-roll next to him. He ran up at full speed, bypassed the screen, and continued to stare at Curry.
Curry couldn't attack.
He couldn't attack the first attack at the beginning of the game, which made Curry feel extremely oppressive.
He had not felt such a strong defense in the previous games, at least he had not suffered such a strong defense at the beginning of the game.
""Wow!"
Curry could only pass the ball to Gordon at the top of the arc.
He did not have Curry's ability to control the ball, and wanted to pass the ball to Su Hao under the basket.
However, the three tall Lakers surrounded Su Hao.
""Little Shark" Bynum was using his strong body to fight Su Hao.
Gasol and Odom delayed Su Hao, not giving him a good chance to catch the ball.
Three people came up to siege.
Gordon couldn't pass, but he could easily create scoring opportunities.
Simple rhythm dribbling, moving sideways, there was an opportunity, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.
This ball?
The touch was not good
""Bang!"
The shot was missed.
But this is normal.
The Clippers' offensive efficiency has never been high, but they have an extremely good second offense.
The offensive rebounds were given to Su Hao.
Even when facing three tall players, Su Hao stood in the penalty area, his absolute talent overwhelmed the entire court, and his rim protection deterrence always existed.
Even if three people were fighting for one person, it would not work.
Bynum frantically challenged Su Hao without the ball, trying to prevent him from getting up, while Odom and Gasol protected the rim.
The idea was beautiful.
The reality was very skinny.
Su Hao would not move, but would make a big splash.
Before competing for the rebound, he let Bynum confront him, just exerting a little force to withstand his impact.
But when he noticed where the rebound landed.
Su Hao suddenly exerted force. Even if Bynum was as strong as Little Shark, he was still not worth mentioning under Su Hao's 320 kg bench press strength.
The Hulk squeezed Little Shark aside and jumped up.
The height + arm span + bounce, the triple superposition, made Odom and Gasol fall into despair the moment he jumped.
""Pah!"
Su Hao easily protected the offensive rebound.
He wanted to attack
"You wish!"
Gasol rushed forward.
Odom followed.
Instantly, the three of them surrounded Su Hao, even though Su Hao still had the advantage in height.
But the Lakers have three tall players, all of whom are very talented. It is not easy to attack comfortably with three of them surrounding him.
The game has just begun.
Su Hao did not plan to attack forcefully.
And the three-man encirclement meant that there must be many open offensive opportunities on the outside.
Without even a second thought
, Su Hao was about to go out to find Curry, but he suddenly realized... Kobe was watching Curry. He was always watching.
Even when Lasor was covering for Curry, wanting Curry to bypass Kobe to catch the ball.
But.
Kobe has been a player in the first defensive lineup for many years, and his ability to bypass screens is also very strong.
He did not give Curry a chance.
There was no way.
Su Hao chose to pass the ball to David Lee under the basket on the other side, and he could attack almost as soon as he got the ball.
But.
Odom was really talented, and he turned around and chased him. When David Lee attacked first, he still interfered.
""Bang!" He disrupted David Lee's attack.
He also protected the rebound.
The Lakers used three high inside players to entangle Su Hao, and let the experienced Kobe entangle the immature Curry.
Instantly
"The"twin stars" of Davidson College were both strangled, and the ability of the other role players of the Clippers was tested.
Russell, Gordon and David Lee.
Facing the defending champion Lakers, in a matchup at the level of the Western Conference Finals, are they trustworthy?!
Su Hao wanted to trust them.
He also gave these players a lot of second-chance opportunities.
But... it really didn't work. The score difference kept increasing as time went on.
At the end of the first half , the Clippers were 9 points behind the Lakers.
During the halftime break, Coach Dunleavy found Su Hao and said in a deep voice:"Su, you can't keep passing the ball to role players. Facing a defending champion-level team like the Lakers, you have to stand up more!
You need to use your strong attack, keep hitting magical balls, and force the team to connect with offense!!!"
