Super Heavy Artillery

From the moment players from both sides appear, staples stadium has no time to quiet down.

Since the new season schedule announced, we have been looking forward to the arrival of this game. Staples was packed, and the jubilant spectators poured into the stadium more than an hour before the game began, sitting in twos and threes, discussing the upcoming game and the two teams that were at war.

Staples is really one of the most special stadiums in the NBA. It is the home of two teams at the same time, with a very strong basketball background. No one knows why the Clippers moved the team to Los Angeles, but they're not as well treated in the city as the Lakers. This can be seen from the game. Although staples is home to the Clippers tonight, most of the audience is Laker fans. These people, dressed in the Lakers' purple and gold jerseys, seem to announce the city's ownership to each other.

In a sense, there's only one team in Los Angeles. The clipper is just a boarder in Los Angeles. Even if the Lakers fell to a low point a few years ago, and the Clippers once became championship level teams, this has never changed. This season, however, the clippers have again challenged the Lakers.

The starting lineup of both sides was announced when the players entered the warm-up.

On the side of the Lakers, he played 46 regular season games on behalf of the Lakers last season, of which 29 starting point guard Rajan Rondo did not appear in the list. In fact, there was news before the game that Rondo would be absent because of a calf injury. Rondo's lack of play, so that the Lakers in the starting lack of point guard. However, judging from Vogel's starting lineup, James has shouldered the ball control responsibility of the team. Hopefully, Vogel hopes that this arrangement will help James find his familiar rhythm and attack pattern more quickly. The other four starters were no surprise: Bradley, Denny green, Davis and McKee.

Such a set of lineup, so that the offensive and defensive strength of the Lakers, in the first round of the opposite clippers, has a huge advantage, McKee has excellent sports ability and blocking ability, and Anthony Davis can cover the defensive area beyond the three-point line. To be sure, James will be much less pressure on the defensive.

On the Clippers side, there are also players missing because of injuries. Paul George's absence has weakened the Clippers' offensive and defensive capabilities. Rivers' starting list is zubaltz, Patterson, Leonard, shamet and Beverly. Compared with the previous preseason, rivers made some adjustments to the starting lineup. However, although he has made changes, but still can not change the Clippers in the internal line of the weak. Zubartz and Patterson, are offensive players, both of which have natural short boards on the defensive end. Patterson belongs to the space type 4 position, his speed, height and blocking ability have obvious short board. Zubats, who is a traditional inside player with the ball, can't protect the rebounds and the basket well. At the same time, zubats is also difficult to defend beyond the three-point line.

As far as you can see before the game, the Lakers are more likely to win the game. With James' series, the three inside lines of the Lakers can sink the Clippers. But the result of the race was the opposite, and the Clippers won.

At the start of the game, the Lakers were the first. With the excellent performances of McKee, Davis and Denny green, the Lakers took the lead in a 13-2 offensive. The clippers, on the other hand, fought back with Leonard and backup duo Rowe and Harrell to make the score 22-25 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the clippers and the Lakers changed roles. They played a wave of 11-0 from the above, and the score was reversed in an instant. Although the Laker side Bradley and Davis have taken points, but the Clippers offensive has not weakened. Finally, the Clippers entered the second half with an eight point lead.

Once again, the attack of the Clippers will not be reduced. Leonard continued to score points, Patterson hit three points, and the Clippers quickly extended their advantage to 12 points. At this point, Denny green came out and scored two three points in a row to lead the Lakers to a 15-0 rally. Then, the Clippers green with a three-point to help the Clippers level 85-85. In the last quarter, both sides were very anxious. The score was flat until the first four minutes of the game. At the critical moment, Rowe and Harrell scored continuously, keeping the Clippers' advantage until the end of the game.

It's hard for Los Angeles fans to accept the loss, but in the eyes of the circle, it's not particularly surprising. When looking forward to the opening game of the Los Angeles Derby, former NBA legend Barkley said that the Lakers may lose in the opening game, and they can't compete with the Clippers' bench.

Although Barkley's mouth and unreliable, but eyesight is good. The reason why the Lakers lost the game, the Clippers that a group of strong substitutes play well is a great reason.

In this game, the Clippers substitutes scored 60 points. Lewis Williams and Harrell, known as hem and Ha'er generals, performed very well. They scored 38 points in this game, which was more powerful than the main force.

The Lakers, by contrast, scored 17 points with all the substitutes. Howard, this game can see that the style is not good, the card is not good, the rebound grabs the second attack is blocked, the power, moves down slowly, compared with Harrell's weakness, Daniels, the field defense is not good, three-point shot is not in; cook is an important rotation pitcher, but in the preseason is very accurate, in this game received two consecutive open positions, three points did not enter. Dudley's play is OK, but there is no good opportunity, after all, his independent attack is not strong.In addition to the substitutes, the poor performance of others is also an important reason. The efficiency of the Lakers is negative except for Denny green and Davis. The first appearance, scored 0 points 5 fouls pop, is really too much to pull the hip. James, who organized the scoring together, still had more heart than strength. He made too many mistakes in the game, many unreasonable passes, low shooting rate on the outside, and insufficient aggressiveness in playing

After that, Vogel's ability to coach was questioned. He was so stubborn in the use of personnel that the Lakers didn't play the offensive coordination and tactics they wanted. In particular, in the final stage of chasing, there was no cooperation, only played individual hero ball, and did not enter for several consecutive rounds, which became the last straw to overwhelm the camel of the Lakers.
