NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 262 Brother Kazi, you are dead!I said.

If Paul George were to pick an opponent he's grateful for, James should be high on the list.

Since entering the league, George has been fighting James.

During the Pacers period, he marked James in the playoffs. George did not back down and played the best performance of his career. It was in the confrontation with the Heat that George played the name of General Joe.

A great opponent has achieved a great self, so George is grateful to James.

If Leonard chooses an opponent he is grateful for, James can also be ranked very high.

When the Spurs played against the Heat, the two had their own winners and losers.

But James has already become famous, and Leonard is the one who defeated the great god James and won the FMVP. He defeated the strongest and made him a phoenix. He firmly believes that everything is under control.

After the players came out, the players on both sides began to warm up.

Playing against the Lakers, this home court is a bit embarrassing for the Clippers.

Because many of the spectators who came to watch the game were Lakers fans.

Like Thalia in the front row.

For example, Sophie and Song Siying in the stands.

No matter which team the fans are, they are enthusiastic and their voices are loud.

The game is about to start, and the formation of the two sides is the same as expected before the game.

From the first position to the fifth position, the Lakers are Westbrook, Rivers, James, Meng Hua and thick eyebrows.

The Clippers sent Jackson, George, Leonard, Morris and Zubac.

The referee signaled to both midfielders to jump the ball.

At this moment, the pre-match atmosphere reached its highest point, and fans made various voices to cheer for their favorite teams and players.

Fans are more active in Los Angeles than at the Smoothie King Center.

Maybe it's just because the winner of the last game may not qualify, so in the eyes of the fans, this game is more critical, a real life-and-death battle.

But in the last game, if you lose, you will die, and if you win, you may not live.

The two sides sent a center forward to jump the ball.

Unlike before, this time the jump ball, Davis and Zubac's eyes were full of desire.

It doesn't matter who gets the ball, but winning by jumping can hit the opponent's psychology.

Standing tall with thick eyebrows is not as good as Zubac, but he bounces fast, and with an ape arm, he pulls the ball towards James.

Meng Hua was a little confused. The system didn't release the game mission. Isn't the play-off match worthy of a new mission?
James passed the ball under the crotch with both hands, and hit the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook catches the ball, bounces and dribbles, and strides across the court with great strides.

The Clippers players are looking for their opponents to bite.

It was Jackson who defended Westbrook. Although he used to be Westbrook's substitute, he didn't have a good relationship with him.

In the last game, it was even worse. He was in a fiery state, and frequently spat out trash talk at Westbrook, which made Westbrook look ashamed.

The hot-blooded Westbrook even subconsciously tried to trip Jackson.This action also made him ridiculed by the whole network.

The defender of Meng Hua was General George. Ever since he watched the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, George had been deeply impressed by Meng Hua. He went back and secretly did a detailed study. He was convinced that under his meticulous care, Meng Hua would disappear on the court.

Defending James is Leonard, the head of the Clippers. He returned to the team not long after a serious injury, and it is said that he still has to adapt to the team's skills and tactics.

But he is too familiar with James, just starting from defending James and contributing to the team.

Morris defends Rivers, and his defensive task is relatively light, but Rivers is a smart style of play, Morris defends him, and his footwork suffers a lot.

The inside line is Zubac defending the thick eyebrows. It is difficult for him to prevent the thick eyebrows, but he is young, as long as the referee is not strict, he keeps pushing and pushing, and it will cause a lot of trouble for the thick eyebrows.

After all, the Clippers are home, and the referee will definitely consider the home whistle.

The referee does not have to be biased. If the home team is afraid of confrontation, then the whistle should be stricter, and if the home team likes to be tough, then the whistle should be relaxed.

This is an unspoken rule, and it is human nature to favor the home team appropriately.Otherwise, why fight for home court advantage?
Putting aside the referee factor, the two sides are neck and neck in terms of the main force alone.

The Clippers also have Batum, Powell, Kennard and Mann. In terms of a reasonable lineup, the Clippers can play much more cards than the Lakers.

What's more, the Clippers head coach Director Lu used to be James' coach. In 2016, he defeated the prosperous Warriors. Director Lu's on-the-spot performance is also a master level.

Because of this, nearly [-]% of fans are not optimistic about the Lakers' advancement.

Jackson kept Lu's guidance in mind, biting at the beginning, and did not give Westbrook any room to dribble easily.

Westbrook didn't want to attack at first, so he passed it to James.

The team's first offense is usually caught by James.

James passed the ball at the top of the arc, watching his teammates and opponents.

Leonard poked around with his long hands, threatening James to catch the ball from time to time. He was very cunning, knowing that James was watching his footsteps, so he didn't move on his legs, and didn't give the opponent a chance to break through.

James sighed secretly, "This grandson, the defensive action is really solid and indestructible."

With thick eyebrows, James hoisted the ball inside.

Thick eyebrows leaned firmly against Zubac, and the other hand was free to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and faced Zubac with the ball.

Leonard was already on the way to double-team. Seeing that the thick eyebrow turned around so quickly, he retreated again.

His defensive habits are very good, because he has a pair of long hands, he often switches between double-teaming and chasing defenders, making opponents hard to defend.

If Nong Mei hadn't turned around immediately for the ball just now, he might have already cut the ball away.

Nongmei tried twice with his footsteps, the opponent just straightened his arms as much as possible, and didn't intend to jump up to block the shot.

Who do you look down on?The thick eyebrows were drawn directly and the jumper hit two points.

This season, his three-pointers were inaccurate, but for two-pointers at such a close range, the opponent had such a defensive attitude, so he had to shoot him dead.

After scoring the goal, Nongmei was very happy.

After scoring the goal, everyone is happy, but this goal is of great significance to the thick eyebrows.

He used to be the darling of the Lakers fans, and also the son of the Magnesium media.

After the last game, he was actually sprayed, which made him want to get back what he lost.

In the stadium, there was the sound of fans cheering, mixed with clapping and screaming.

Leonard's face sank, he took the ball from the baseline and passed through the midfield.

Unlike the Clippers, the Lakers did not adopt a close press, they do not have this kind of physical reserve.

Vogel is not stupid, the team is back to back, but the Clippers took a day off.

The Lakers also defended man-to-man. Westbrook defended Jackson, his bitter master in the last game, and Zubac with thick eyebrows.

These two pairs are exactly the same offense and defense.

The other three were a little different.

Meng Hua defended Leonard, Rivers defended George, and James defended Morris.

This arrangement minimizes James' defensive pressure.

The Lakers rely on him for offense, let him defend Leonard, if there is a problem with physical strength, the Lakers will be over.

Most of the time, George floats outside and shoots, so let Rivers, who is fast and defensive, mark.

As for Leonard, his mid-range and post-up shots are top-notch, so it is natural to use Meng Hua to serve him.

This was the first time Meng Hua faced Leonard. He looked at him coldly and said to himself, "Brother Kazi, you are dead! I told you so."
