Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.

Zhuang Yu is still defending Teodosic.

Rivers Jr. wanted to take on the organizational task as instructed by Coach Rivers, but facing Holiday's defense, his performance was no different from Teodosic.

For a while, the Clippers could only rely on Griffin to fight alone, but the efficiency was self-evident.

When the first half ended, the Lakers were leading by 16 points.

This made Coach Rivers feel helpless.

In the third quarter, he sent Lou Williams on the field early. The team's offense cannot rely on Griffin alone. Others must step up to score. Apart from Griffin, the only one who has enough singles ability is Lou Williams, the best sixth man.

Moreover, Lou Williams also has certain organizational skills.

Even looking at past data, his average assists per game in the past few seasons was slightly more than Rivers Jr.

Just a little bit.

After coming on the court, Lou Williams' performance was pretty good, but he couldn't become a surprise weapon to reverse the situation. He could score points, but he couldn't energize the entire team.

He and Griffin alone are also unable to compete with the Lakers.

After a few rounds, the Clippers fell into a disadvantage, and the gap between the two sides further widened, approaching 20 points.

"It's over. This is totally unbeatable."

"Zhuang Yu is too strong and impossible to defend. Although Griffin played well today, his effect was completely offset by Zhuang Yu. Griffin has scored 26 points, but Zhuang Yu has also scored 25 points. In addition to Zhuang Yu, other Lakers players have also scored a lot of points. However, among the role players on the Clippers, only Lou Williams played normally."

"The score difference is so big, this game is hopeless."

"Although I knew there was a gap, after all, the Clippers lost Paul and Redick, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big..."

In the audience, fans were discussing.

Many Clippers fans were shaking their heads with disappointed expressions.

Among the Clippers players, only Griffin played well. Lou Williams played just normally, and the others did not perform at all.

The reasons are very simple. One is that the team’s own strength is not enough, and the other is that the Lakers’ defense is really outstanding.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Lakers called a timeout and replaced their main players with substitutes.

On the other side, Coach Rivers shook his head helplessly and replaced the main players. With such a big score difference, there was basically no hope.

There were more than three minutes left in the third quarter, and the Clippers had lost their fighting spirit. They were still at a disadvantage. After Clarkson hit a three-pointer, the difference between the two sides widened to 3 points.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 3 points.

This turned the fourth quarter into garbage time. Although the Clippers' rotation lineup played well in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter and caught up a few points, it was not enough to change the overall situation.

When both sides replaced their main lineups, the situation was still the same as before, with the Clippers at a disadvantage on both offense and defense.

A few minutes later, Coach Rivers simply replaced the main players and surrendered.

"hehe......"

Coach Scott smiled and replaced all the main players, sending Kuzma, Zubac, McCaw, Meeks and Sumner on the field.

Anyway, the outcome has been decided, so let them all go up and show their faces.

Even though it was just garbage time, Sumner was still very happy. As the 52nd pick in the second round, he was almost like a water cooler guard and basically had no chance to play. He didn't expect that he would be able to play in the first game of the regular season. This was great.

There was nothing interesting to watch in the last few minutes, it just became an exhibition match, and some fans even stood up and left.

"drop......"

At the end of the game, the score was 117:102. The Lakers defeated the Clippers by 15 points and got off to a good start in the new season.

In this game, Blake Griffin of the Clippers scored 32 points, plus 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Lou Williams scored 19 points. Apart from the two of them, the others did not score much. Teodosic only scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jordan scored 8 points and 10 rebounds...

For the Lakers, Zhuang Yu scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Lopez scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, Holiday scored 13 points and 6 assists, Korver scored 2 points with 7 three-pointers, Anderson scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, 5 of the 3 starters scored in double digits, and Clarkson also scored 18 points... The scores of these players combined are almost equal to the total score of the Clippers.

"Sure enough, the Lakers are still stronger."

"It's the Clippers who have become weaker. Last season they still had Paul and Redick, so at least the starting lineup was still very strong. This season without Paul and Redick, it's obviously difficult for Griffin to support the team alone."

"Yes, Paul's departure is a huge loss for the Clippers. With Paul, they were at least a playoff team, but now it may be difficult for them to even make the playoffs."

The game is over, but many fans are still discussing it.

Some people think that the reason why this game turned out like this is because the Lakers have become stronger, while others think that the Clippers have become weaker.

......

China.

After all, today's game is the first game of the Lakers' new season, so it is still very popular. Sports Channel 1 broadcast this game.

At this time, the screen has switched to the studio, and the two commentators Su Quan and Yang Yi are still discussing the game.

Su Quan asked: "Teacher Yang Yi, why do you think the Lakers won this game so easily, even leading by more than 20 points at one point?"

Yang Yi said: "I think the most important reason why the Lakers were able to win this game easily is their defense. After Holiday joined the team, the Lakers' defense has obviously improved to a higher level. Of course, the Lakers' defense was also excellent before, and now it has become even better."

Su Quan nodded in agreement and asked, "Do you think the Lakers' strength has improved significantly this season compared to last season? How do they compare to other strong teams?"

Yang Yi smiled and said: "Compared to last season, the current Lakers are obviously much stronger in terms of both lineup and overall strength. But if we want to compare them with other strong teams, it depends on which team we are comparing them with."

Su Quan smiled and said, "What if we compare the Warriors and the Cavaliers? What do you think the Lakers' chances of winning against these two teams are with their current lineup?"

"About 30 to 40 percent." Yang Yi replied.

"So low?"

"Well, it can only be this low." Yang Yi said, "First, let's talk about the Cavaliers. The Lakers have Zhuang Yu, Lopez, Clarkson, and now Holiday, right? The Cavaliers also have James, Love, Isaiah Thomas, and JR. Three All-Stars versus three All-Stars, right? Even if Holiday is an All-Star player, after all, he has been to the All-Stars, although only once, but Isaiah Thomas has also only been there once, so let's just call it even. Love is as good as Lopez, and JR has also won the best sixth man award. I haven't even counted Rose. The Cavaliers also have the youngest regular season MVP."

Su Quan disagreed with this: "According to what you said, do you think the Cavaliers can beat the Lakers just because of the addition of Rose?"

Yang Yi shook his head: "That's not the case. Everyone knows what Rose has been like in the past two years. He suffered a serious knee injury last season. It is said that he has recovered well now. He also played well in the preseason before, but let's not talk about how he will perform in the regular season. I said that the Lakers only have a 30% to 40% chance of winning against the Cavaliers because the Cavaliers have LeBron James, the best player in the league."

Su Quan smiled: "It's easy to say that James was the best player in the league when he was in the Heat period, but he shouldn't be considered the best player now, right? The Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the finals last season, and now people say that Durant is the best player in the league."

"I don't agree with what you said." Yang Yi retorted, "Is Durant good? Of course he is. But is he the best player in the league? I don't think so. The Warriors won the championship last season and Durant also won the FMVP, but the Warriors are Curry's team. They were already the champions before you went there. After you went there, they won another championship and you became the best player in the league? This doesn't make sense. Some people say Curry is the best player in the league."

"Let's not talk about these honors, let's just talk about personal ability. At present, I think James is still the best player in the entire league."

"Look, the Lakers have Lopez, Holiday and Clarkson, and the Cavaliers have Love, Isaiah Thomas and JR. Then there's Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu is great, even better than Yao Ming back then, but I don't think he can be better than James."

Su Quan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, you are just a James fan.

Of course, he couldn't say this, but the smile on his face had disappeared.

He said: "I don't think so. Last season, Zhuang Yu was the regular season scoring champion, and this season he should be even stronger, not necessarily worse than James. Also, if you say that the Cavaliers team with James, Love and Irving were stronger than the current Lakers, I don't refute it. After all, they won the championship at that time. But if you say that the Cavaliers team without Irving is still stronger than the current Lakers, I definitely don't agree."

Yang waved his hand, not wanting to argue with you, and said, "I won't argue with you. Anyway, one of these two teams is in the West and the other is in the East. If they meet in the playoffs, they will have to go to the finals. Let's talk about the West. I think the Lakers can't beat the Warriors. Do you agree?"

Su Quan sneered and said, "If you say that the Lakers' lineup is not as good as the Warriors', that's fine. But if you say that the Lakers will definitely not be able to beat the Warriors, that's not necessarily true."

"Look at you..." Yang Yi spread his hands, "I also like the Lakers, and I support the Lakers. Just because Zhuang Yu is here, we have to support the Lakers, right? But let's talk about the facts. The Lakers really can't beat the Warriors."

Su Quan narrowed his eyes: "Are you so absolute?"

Yang Yida said: "This is the conclusion I came to after objective analysis."

Su Quan smiled and said, "The analysis is quite plausible. Just don't get slapped in the face when the time comes."

Yang Yi was suddenly unhappy.

The two of them looked at each other, and finally laughed dryly and skipped the topic, but their argument turned into a quarrel between Lakers fans and Warriors fans.

The two sides engaged in a war of words on the Internet, and it was very intense.

From then on, Su Quan and Yang Yi, one became a staunch supporter of the Lakers, and the other became a Warriors fan in addition to LeBron James, and would praise the Warriors as much as he could whenever he could.

But for Zhuang Yu and the Lakers, they don’t have time to pay attention to these things. It’s just a regular season game, not to mention they have a back-to-back game tomorrow.

After the game with the Clippers, the Lakers players hurried to the airport and boarded a plane to Phoenix.
