The next opponent of the Lakers is the Clippers. Since the two teams share the same arena, although the Lakers are away, there is not much difference from the home game, and the pattern of the floor has changed.

The Lakers have always been a symbol of the NBA in Los Angeles. As one of the two greatest giants in the history of the NBA, the Lakers have a glorious history.

George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, "Magic" Johnson, "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Shark" O'Neal and Kobe Bryant one by one The star-studded name reflects Los Angeles, the "City of Angels", brilliantly!

Compared with the glorious history of the Lakers, the Clippers are somewhat out of reach.

If the Lakers are the owner of Staples, the Clippers are more like a tenant.

The history of the Clippers is very thin, not to mention any achievements, even the number of times they have entered the playoffs can be counted on the fingers.

This makes the Clippers a "little transparency". After all, with the Lakers around, who would like the Clippers?

Yi Tian's previous impression of the Clippers was more because Yi Tian's predecessor Wang Zhizhi joined the team in 2002, which made Yi Tian pay close attention to the Clippers' games at that time.

But this situation has changed this season. With a series of strong operations during the offseason, the Clippers have become the biggest winner in the transfer market.

They first spent a high price to capture free agent Caron Butler; then they spent more than 200 million in the amnesty bidding area to acquire Chauncey Billups;

Of course, the peerless work is still Chris Paul's deal, which instantly upgraded the team to the Galaxy Battleship.

Plus two top picks, Kenyon Martin and Blake Griffin; and top blue-collar DeAndre Jordan, "Must Pass" Morris Williams, "Young Man Yang" Nick Young, "Sharp Shooter" Lan Di Foye.

Such a lineup is very thick, with sufficient manpower inside and outside the line. On paper, the Clippers definitely have the strength to wrestle with any strong team in the league.

At least at the point guard position, Kobe would cry when he saw it. Paul, Billups and even Mo Williams are not much better than the old Fisher.

Since the start of the game, the Clippers have shown a very good state. Except for the regrettable loss to the Heat in the away game, the Clippers won the remaining three games, which made the Clippers an upstart in the league.

The Clippers played a very dominant and entertaining performance in the game.

Under the tandem of Paul, the springs of the Clippers took off in an instant, and "White Monster" Griffin, Jordan Jr., and Kenyon Martin used their passion to complete the inside bombing again and again.

They averaged nearly 20 points per game against their opponents.

The gorgeous style of play made the Clippers attract countless fans, and people exclaimed: Los Angeles will usher in a magical version of the "showtime" era.

And this time it's not the Lakers but the Clippers.

This is the first time the Clippers have challenged the Lakers since they moved to Los Angeles in the 80s.

It is precisely because of this gimmick that the attention of this Los Angeles Derby is extraordinary, and this game has long been listed as a national live broadcast.

All kinds of media gather here, and they all want to get first-hand news materials in the first time.

……

The Lakers also completed their assembly after a day off.

Although they have 4 consecutive victories, they are full of confidence, but this does not mean that they think they will easily defeat the powerful Clippers.

Mike Brown analyzed the whole team based on the video. He believes that the Clippers have great athletic ability, and the rotation lineup is very thick, plus they have Paul, the ball master.

As a result, the Clippers like fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, which can drag opponents into their rhythm.

The rotation of the Lakers lineup is not as good as that of the Clippers, which means that the physical strength of the Lakers players is more important.

Most of the team is veterans, and the inside core Bynum is young but not fast, so Mike Brown's point of view is to reduce the rhythm of the game and drag the game into a positional battle.

Then use Kobe's strong restraining force to open up the situation, so that we can maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses!

Kobe agrees with this very much, he feels full of strength after a round of rest.

In addition, Odom did not appear in the roster of the game. It is said that last time he had a fierce quarrel with general manager Kupchak.

……

The news before the game was not harmonious. Griffin, the No. [-] pick of the Clippers, said that he would educate Yi Tian, ​​who has been gaining momentum recently.

Griffin feels that he has worked hard for several seasons to get the attention of the media, and Yi Tian has become the darling of Los Angeles in just 4 games. Why?

He is only a No. 16 pick. Is it because he is born in the Lakers that he should be under the spotlight?

Before the game even started, Griffin's jealousy was well on its way.

So at the first moment of the interview, Griffin directly declared war on Yitian:

"I'll be defending the Chinese guy, I know he's done well in the first few games, but I'm the better one.

This game will speak for itself, I'm going to dunk on his head! "

The recent good state has made Griffin full of confidence, and his explosive physical talent has made him arrogant.

"It's time to change the dynasty. We will tell the Lakers with practical actions that Los Angeles is now ours!" Griffin shouted.

Griffin's speech was like a fire that instantly ignited the powder keg.

Although Paul immediately came out to clarify: "Kobe is my good big brother, I am full of respect for the Lakers!"

The big brothers Kobe and Paul on both sides have always maintained restraint, but not everyone can ignore Griffin's provocation.

Bynum stood up immediately, he was not a good opponent, especially Griffin dared to provoke his good brother Yi Tian.

This made Bynum a little angry, and he spoke through the Los Angeles Times:

"Who is Griffin? Yi Tian is a hundred times stronger than him. He wants to dunk and asked me if he has ever asked me. I will turn him over in this game and give him a memorable game.

I will use actions to tell him that Los Angeles belongs to the Lakers, the Clippers and so on, let's just step aside and play! "

……

The players' statements and the media's fueling made the game full of gunpowder, and the Los Angeles Derby between the Lakers and the Clippers was instantly full of attention.

"White Warcraft" Griffin's provocation did not affect Yi Tian's mentality. He knew that talking before the game was useless, and finally saw the truth in the game.

Griffin's height of 208 and strong athletic ability may indeed cause a lot of interference to himself.

Although Griffin is very arrogant, he does have a pretty good capital.

Fortunately, his wingspan is short enough, Yi Tian immediately thought of the appearance of Tyrannosaurus rex, and couldn't help laughing out loud!

ps: Griffin is 208 tall and has a wingspan of around 210, which is quite normal.But the most important thing is that most of the nba are not normal people, which makes Griffin's wingspan relatively short.

Yitian's prototype, Alian, has a wingspan of 222. The physical fitness of Alian is really at the ceiling level, and it is not inferior to black players.
