Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

It's just that, like all "grouped" teams, the Lakers have a fatal flaw.

That is the depth of the bench lineup is not enough.

Because "holding groups" is essentially taking shortcuts, and taking shortcuts will inevitably bear the problem of salary explosion.

Therefore, in this matchup between the Clippers and the Lakers, the Lakers are inherently disadvantaged.

The starting players of the Lakers dare not rest for a moment, but if they are replaced by more than two substitute players, they will be crushed.

Who made the Clippers' substitutes so fierce that the starters of many teams may not be able to beat them.

Although the Clippers' bench lineup is indeed a little immature if they want to play against the Lakers' main force.

But it's not the kind of situation where you don't have to fight, it's just that you can't fight.

Six minutes into the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two sides only narrowed from 6 points to 21 points.

Although the Lakers relied on Kobe and Paul to score consecutive points, the effect was not obvious at all.

The Clippers, a group of high-quality substitutes full of blood, will start the Lakers who are already bloodless, so they really won't be defeated.

After half a quarter, Yang Li went up and down and changed into another lineup.

In just 2 minutes, the Clippers once again opened the score to 20 points.

Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, after two more rounds, the Lakers withdrew their main players.

In the first game, the Clippers won without any risk.

In this game, all members of the Clippers played very well. A total of 6 members of the Clippers scored in double figures.

A solid team victory.

For the Lakers, Kobe scored a game-high 36 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and sent 4 assists.

Paul scored 22 points and only picked up 3 rebounds, but sent a game-high 12 assists.

It can be said that the Lakers' backcourt twin stars are definitely in their best form.

But facing this Clippers team is still helpless.

Kobe's strength is beyond doubt, but he is indeed getting old.

Moreover, many years of high-intensity battles have caused many problems in his body.

The Clippers let this group of young and strong strikers take turns to consume Kobe, which is already trying to limit Kobe as much as possible.

Under such a high-intensity defense, Kobe still scored 36 points.

If Kobe and Paul joined forces two years earlier, I am afraid that this Clippers team may not necessarily win.

However, how can a player be at his peak all his life.

At the age of 34, Kobe can still maintain this state, which is already very scary.

Of course, there is another person who is more terrifying than Kobe, and that is LeBron James.

In the 18 finals, he still averaged 34 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10 assists per game.

This performance is even more terrifying than Kobe this year, although the finals were swept.

But the Cavaliers lost, James did not lose.

His personal performance conquered all his fans.

Later, with this peak strength, James brought his talent to Los Angeles.

After staying there for two years, he won the NBA championship again!

Well, let's talk about now.

Two days after the end of the first game, the Los Angeles duo ushered in the second game.

The process of this game is similar to the first game.

The main force of the Lakers tried their best to play the advantage, put on a few substitutes and immediately lost them.

The depth of the Clippers' lineup left the Lakers with no choice but to watch the Clippers defeat themselves with crowd tactics.
