NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

The Los Angeles Lakers' training facility.

Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," gathered the players together and said in a deep voice, "We have been studying Clippers game footage for a week straight."

There is only one purpose.

Three days later, they must defeat the Clippers, who have "The Hulk" Su Hao.

I already told you the strategy yesterday.

But I won't get tired of it, so I'll tell you all again now.

To defeat center Su Hao, who possesses phenomenal physical talent, one must rely on the strength of the inside game.

Just like when the league limited "The Big Shaq" O'Neal, the method was the same.

Stockpile center forwards.

Using height, strength, and tonnage to surround and restrict Su Hao, and to completely lock him down, would be very difficult.

As long as you can give him enough interference, you can prevent him from exerting his full dominance.

The rest of the Clippers players are not worth mentioning.

Our Lakers' interior players are not short, and their interior defense is not weak either.

We are a championship team with a strong offense and defense.

Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom, you three are the Lakers' top three big men in the paint.

Your presence will cause headaches for any opponent's interior defense.

The three of you will definitely be able to put Su Hao under pressure.

The Clippers' strength is built on Su Hao alone.

Stephen Curry, one of Davidson's twin stars, is a real threat from three-point range if he gets hot from the outside.

But he is still a rookie and very inexperienced.

I believe that a more experienced and mature Kobe could completely shut down Curry, making it extremely difficult for him to even take a shot.

Also.

I'm very confident in Artest's defense. If Artest switches onto Curry, he'll definitely give Curry a run for his money.

Thus.

The Clippers' star duo won't be able to score easily, so they're bound to collapse.

"That's right!"

"Those Clippers kids can beat any team in the league, but they can't be a match for us Lakers!"

"We are the defending champions, we are not afraid of any team."

Bynum, Odom, and other players are full of confidence.

They were last year's champions, so they don't need to fear any team, let alone a team full of young players.

"coach!"

Pau Gasol then spoke up, "We can shut down the Clippers' offense."

But the Clippers' strength isn't just in their offense; Hulk's defense in the paint is also phenomenal.

His restricted area is a no-fly zone.

His penalty area is truly difficult for even the most skilled players to penetrate.

"Oh?"

Phil Jackson blinked and smiled slightly. "Are you questioning Kobe's scoring ability?!"

hum~

Pau Gasol's mind was buzzing, and he shook his head repeatedly. "Of course I believe in Kobe's abilities."

He's the best player in the league!

"That works."

Phil Jackson smiled and said, "I also believe in Kobe's ability. I believe he can score against Su Hao."

Also.

Kobe's offense is now more efficient.

His strongest weapon is no longer the fierce inside battles and drives to the basket that he used during his "Black Mamba" era, but rather his fadeaway jump shot from the outside.

That fadeaway jumper was exactly like Jordan's.

I think it's unsolvable. Su Hao, who's in the paint, can't possibly stop Kobe's offense.

Thus.

We have the upper hand on both offense and defense, and our substitutes are even stronger.

Three days later.

The game against the Clippers was seen by many as a preview of the Western Conference Finals.

But I believe our Lakers will win!

"Lakers will win!"

"Lakers Championship!!!"

The Lakers players are full of confidence.

Kobe, who hadn't said much until now, narrowed his eyes and said, "The 'Hulk' Su Hao!"

The day has finally come for me to face you.

During my time at NCAA, I somewhat underestimated your abilities, but now I acknowledge your strength and can't wait to face you!

As for the Clippers...

The players are also taking the game against the Lakers three days in advance very seriously.

Not much to say.

That team had "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant, and they were also a championship team that had just won the title the previous year.

They are also a team that has reached the finals for two consecutive years.

Last summer, they also brought in a "3D player," defensive stalwart Ron Artest.

The Lakers have a more balanced offense and defense, and their strength has increased!

This is definitely one of the strongest opponents so far this season.

Must be taken seriously.

……

The Clippers and Lakers, the Los Angeles derby, both teams take their opponent very seriously and have been preparing for this game well in advance.

Fans are eagerly anticipating it.

News media outlets were overjoyed.

As a rising team, the Clippers have shown tremendous dominance so far this season.

They haven't proven themselves in the playoffs, so what if they can beat the defending champions?

This will definitely give them a lot of confidence for their playoff run.
