1063: Suddenly kill a Lou Wei
This year's Staples Center is somewhat dull.
Although the Los Angeles Lakers have started their long road to reconstruction since the 12-13 season.
In the past three seasons, the Lakers have not won more than 30 games in a single season.
But even in the days when it was bad, Kobe Bryant, the Lakers soul, has always been with their fans.
During those seasons, as long as you could see Kobe playing healthy on the court, even if you couldn't win the game, Lakers fans would be satisfied.
Especially last season, the Lakers almost played for Kobe's retirement tour.
But now, that No. 24 has left, and his legend will never be staged in the Staples Center.
Therefore, the Lakers' path to playing badly looks a little more embarrassing. Staples Center's game is no longer so passionate.
Currently, the Lakers' record is 10 wins and 11 losses. In the West, this is not a record worthy of cheering.
Ingram, Russell and Randall and other young Lakers will need more time to reshape the glory of the Purple and Gold Legion.
Therefore, this game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers did not attract much attention.
The purpose of most people paying attention to this game is not to see the game itself, but to witness the Grizzlies' 24-game winning streak.
Link returned to Staples again, but couldn't see Kobe, and he was also very sad.
Think about it carefully, the last time I met Kobe was when I got married to Rachel this summer.
Although he has become the spokesperson for Kobe's beverage brand, he and the boss behind the scenes have not seen each other for a long time.
Without that stubbornness No. 24, the game against the Lakers is not that fun.
Before the game started, the second-tier rookie Ingram, who was highly anticipated by Lakers fans, also hugged Link with a friendly hug.
I thought this would be a warm showdown between the old and the old, and Link would teach this talented second-team some experience on the basketball court.
However, at the beginning of the game, Link "turned his back" and refused to accept others.
Ingram's first offense in the first leg after the opening, his breakthrough layup was directly pressed by Link on the rebound.
Ingram is tall and has long arms and comprehensive technology, and is considered to be possible in the direction of Durant.
His height and wingspan are difficult to be blocked by players in the same position.
But Link not only covered up, he was also a ruthless nail-board hat...
At the game site, the local commentator in Los Angeles couldn't help but shake his head, "There's no way, this is how Link welcomes newcomers to the NBA. Welcome to the league ruled by Link, Brandon Ingram."
Ingram was speechless. He didn't expect Link, a superstar, to compete with him as a first-year rookie.
However, soon, Ingram discovered that it was not only Link who competed with him, but also Wade.
On the offensive end, Wade held the ball with his superb and changeable rhythm and shook away Ingram's center of gravity and headed straight to the basket!
As a result, Wade suddenly stopped after stepping into the three-second zone, pulled back and took a jump shot.
Although Ingram, who was unable to react, was not shaken down, he staggered back two steps.
Staples Center made a sound of surprise. Which rookie can withstand the combination of Wade and Link!
Ingram was very depressed. When he met these two strict veterans, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
In addition to Ingram, D'Angelo Russell's performance is also difficult to satisfy.
Under the defense of the Grizzlies, Russell was unable to effectively organize the offense and could not score independently.
As for Julius Randall, the 7th rookie in 2014, he was at a loss when he faced Jokic's "pork belly".
Since playing against the Warriors, Jogel has turned Gasol and Jokic's double tower lineup into a commonly used starter.
This is how the Grizzlies played in these games. So today, Randle, the already low-key fourth position, must face Jokic, the center.
Randall's current style of playing is still mainly aimed at the basket, and he can always rely on his abnormal strength to force layups.
But when encountering Jokic who can withstand the collision, Randall has no choice.
Indeed, Randall is faster than Jokic in his footsteps. But Jokic only needs to squat and defend, and he can completely curb Randall.
Randall's shooting? Well...it's basically up to the sky. He does dare to shoot, but it's another matter whether he can enter or not.
After all the Lakers' third young men were restricted, the Grizzlies quickly opened the score.
The Lakers' offense is poor, and their defense is even more pale.
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 13 points.
In the second quarter, the situation almost didn't change. Link played happily and walked into the locker room with a 22-point advantage.
At this time, everyone felt that the Lakers were finished. It was only a matter of time before the Grizzlies tied the Warriors' 24-game winning streak start record.
After a few more minutes in the third quarter, the Lakers still saw no hope. Jogel replaced Link early, and in his opinion, garbage time had arrived early.
At this time, coach Luke Walton, who assisted Cole with 73 wins last season, suspended the game.
In addition to those three young players, Luke Walton, a young coach, is also one of the highly anticipated potential stocks.
You know, Walton was leading the team last season when Cole was unable to participate due to illness.
It was under the leadership of Walton that the Warriors scored a record of 24 consecutive victories.
With this resume and the good relationship between Walton and the Lakers, the two sides reached an agreement this summer to cooperate.
People believe that when this young coach grows up with the young players, the Purple and Gold Legion will regain its glory.
At this time, when he was 26 points behind, Walton waved his hand and found two people.
One is Jordan Clarkson, who is 1.96 meters tall, 2014-year second-round pick.
The other is Louis Williams, who is 1.88 meters tall and has already achieved reputation in the league. He has just won the Best Sixth Man Award in the 2014-15 season.
The popularity of these two little defenders is completely unmatched with Russell and Ingram, but everyone knows that in terms of combat power, they are stronger than Russell and Ingram at this stage!
However, Link didn't take it seriously. It was unlikely that Clarkson and Louve would equalize 26 points in more than a quarter and a half.
Most people think the same as Link, they are just waiting for the end of the game to commemorate the moment when the Grizzlies scored a 24-game winning streak.
But after returning from the timeout, Louis Williams scored a difficult three-pointer!
For this goal, Lu Weiyun handed over the ball to Randle after halftime.
Randle was blind and found that Jokic was unmoved at all, so he returned the ball to Luwei in the last few seconds.
Lou Weiwei made several three-threat moves against Dinwiddie, who was also a substitute.
Then, he pulled out without getting rid of the defense!
Seeing that Lu Wei actually made a shot directly, Harrell turned around and prepared to take the rebound.
As a result, this fairy ball that only superstars can try was entered! Moreover, it was still a hollow!
"Fuck, no..." Link, sitting on the bench, straightened his back and suddenly became serious.
Lu Wei looked at the big screen on the scene and then opened his arms!
It's still 23 points away, it's OK!
A street in Luocheng, ask who is the father!
Chapter completed!
