The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 396 [Preseason Battle against the Lakers]

News of the Dwight Howard and Chris Paul transfers has caused an uproar.

Before dinner that day, Ariel asked: "Paul and Howard were the closest to joining the Clippers, but now none of them are here, do you really not regret it? People say that even sending Love back to Howard is worth it." Yes, Love just shoots better, and Howard can make the Clippers' defense better."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Of course I don't regret it. I think Pau Gasol is also a very good star. He can be compared with Duncan and Garnett, but his style of play is slightly softer. We don't want the most famous, as long as the most suitable Yes. Howard has been here for a few years, don’t you want to be the boss forever? If Paul comes and attacks with the ball, according to his most familiar style, I can only run without the ball and wait for opportunities to shoot. The material of the core, but the express ship has a core."

Ariel asked again: "Then what do you think Paul will do in the Lakers?"

Ye Feng laughed and said: "It must be terrible. Some people still think that Kobe and Paul can become a super backcourt partner? It would be better if Odom didn't leave. The Lakers will let Bynum complete the low attack. Paul is good at It’s a pick-and-roll combination. An uncharacteristic West will become an All-Star with his partner. It’s definitely no problem to cooperate with Odom. But now the Lakers lack someone who can shoot and defend at the 4th position. Reggie Evans and Mike Roberts are not good at shooting. If David Anderson plays poorly on the court. And outside, Kobe needs to attack with the ball. Who will hold the ball between him and Paul? Let me say that Curry will go to the Lakers Both are better than Paul. Paul’s passing awareness is of course better than Curry’s, but the Lakers’ tactics lack running positions and are mainly star singles. Artest and Kobe can’t run. The Lakers’ lineup is basically The problem has not been solved, and playing against weak teams may rely on stars to win. When they encounter us, the Heat, the Nets, and the Celtics who are good at defense, it will be difficult for them to win.”

Ariel said: "We haven't brought in superstars to partner with you this year, as long as you think it's okay, I trust your vision."

Ariel wants to meet Ye Feng's request as much as possible, and is worried that for the benefit of the Sterling family, the team will make more money to avoid luxury taxes, so she wants to bring in big-name players like the Lakers and Nets. Now the Clippers have made more money than the Lakers up.But Ye Feng wasn't thinking about the luxury tax, he just didn't want to waste money.Howard is still useful, Paul is really dispensable to the Clippers.

Thinking of the upcoming season, Ye Feng said softly: "When the season starts, I don't have much time to spend with you. I'm sorry. If you feel bored, just call Paris (Hilton) and the others home to have a party. Don't go to her house. It's a party, too many perverts."

Ariel smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself when you're not at home. We've been playing for several months, it's time for you to do something serious."

On the 17th, the preseason game started, but Yi Jianlian still did not sign a contract.Fegan asked around, and other teams can only get low salaries. The most generous team is the Trail Blazers. They are willing to offer Yi Jianlian an annual salary of 200 million, and they want Yi Jianlian to play center. They are famous there. Center grave.People think that Yi Jianlian is the level of Iranian center Haddadi. In the Grizzlies, Haddadi is a marginal player who has no chance to play. No one will pay a lot of money to sign Yi Jianlian.

Seeing that the new season is about to start, Fagan finally contacted Thibodeau again on behalf of Yi Jianlian. After some detours, Yi Jianlian still signed a two-year contract of 280 million with the Clippers.

Seeing Ye Feng in the office, Fei Gen's face was very ugly, but Ye Feng didn't sneer at him.When going out, Feigen felt strange and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you say anything this time?"

Ye Feng said lightly: "I finished what I should say last time, you know what I mean."

Feigen left the office in a daze, he now felt like an idiot.

The reinforcement of each team is basically completed.The Clippers have won the championship for two consecutive years. In order to fight against them, ambitious teams are recruiting with all their strength.Experts have selected the strongest teams this season, and the Clippers are still ranked first;The Nets, which introduced Howard, surpassed the Heat to rank second in the strength list. The Heat's signings were unfavorable, and they had to use last season's lineup to win the world, ranking third.Then came the Dallas Mavericks led by Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki.Surprisingly, the Memphis Grizzlies ranked fifth. The joining of Mo Williams and Chauncey Billups allowed them to form a super backcourt. Although players left both inside and outside, the three young cores Griffin, Gay, and Westbrook are all here, and they have joined Gortat and Kidd. The problem is that they have too many guards, and there should be trades. The person who is most likely to leave is Kidd.The Lakers ranked sixth.

After arrangement, each team will play two preseason games, and they will run-in their lineup in actual combat, so as to make some preparations for the official start of the regular season.According to this arrangement, of course it is necessary to find an opponent nearby. The NBA schedule will also become tighter. Each NBA team will play 119 regular season games in 66 days, and the total number of regular season games in the NBA will be 990 games.

The Clippers are the most trouble-free of all teams, and their two warm-up opponents are the Lakers.

On the 20th, the preseason ushered in the highlight, the Staples Center Derby.

Who will own Los Angeles next season?The result of the preseason opener isn't the answer, but it at least bodes well.The game was well-attended and the arena was packed.

But the Clippers did not do their best, and the starting lineup sent rookies Isiah Thomas, Ye Feng, Grant Hill, and the Gasol brothers.Four of them are newcomers, and the intention of running into the lineup is obvious.

克里斯.保罗第一次代表湖人队亮相，麦克罗伯茨4号位首发。身高208CM的他运动能力很强，上赛季代表步行者出战72场，场均7.4分5.3篮板2.1助攻。另外三人是安德鲁.拜纳姆、慈世平和科比。

Not long after the opening, Paul played well, relying on Mike Roberts' cover to break through and score, and then assisted Mike Roberts to score with an alley-oop dunk.Kobe was also in full shape, scoring 4 points on 3 of 9 shots in the first quarter.

Kobe was in trouble off the court, but on the court, he was still full of fighting spirit.

After the news of the divorce just came out, Bryant faced another lawsuit: a fan sued Bryant for causing harm to himself sitting on the sidelines in an away game with the Grizzlies six years ago.It is not easy to obtain evidence for what happened six years ago. This lawsuit was originally not accepted by the court, but it was recently re-accepted.The indictment stated that after Kobe was called for a foul on an offense in a game against the Grizzlies in 6, he became emotional, kicked a stool where a fan was sitting on the sidelines, and hit the fan's chest with his arm. Video testified.

It seems that many people like to have trouble with Kobe, but Kobe is well-known in the league for his excellent mental quality. During the Eagle County incident, he could go to the court and beat his opponent on the court.At this time last year, Kobe was invited to be the global promotion ambassador of Turkish Airlines. He was protested by many Armenian-Americans. People criticized him for abandoning moral concepts for money. Kobe did not respond. He also performed very well that month.

Kobe has seen all kinds of scenes. Of course, small lawsuits such as divorce and beating fans will not affect him.

科比爆发了，得到了全场最高的29分，保罗只打了前三节，拿下18分5篮板8助攻4抢断，拜纳姆15分12个篮板。湖人104比91战胜了快船。湖人只有慈世平非常糟糕，8投0中，只靠罚球得了3分。

叶锋只打了14分钟，得到7分4篮板。乐福、保罗.加索尔、史密斯四人出场时间也都没有超过20分钟。快船表现最好的人是马克.加索尔，14分11篮板。赖特三分球9投5中，得到了快船最高的21分，新秀托马斯得到了11分。

On the 22nd, the defense of the second game between the two sides was more relaxed. The Clippers lost to the Lakers for the second time in 106 days, 110 to 3.

拜纳姆拿下了26分11个篮板，科比20分4篮板4助攻。保罗得到了8分10助攻，替补出场的史蒂夫.布雷克16分，慈世平10分。

Pau Gasol scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists against his former team.Grant Hill also scored 15 points, and Isiah Thomas scored 16 points and 4 assists. His performance was eye-catching, but his defense had problems, allowing Blake to shoot 3 three-pointers in front of him.Ye Feng's playing time was slightly extended. He played 21 minutes and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and no assists.

After the game, some people suspected that Ye Feng rested too long and his technique was a little rusty.But most people are full of confidence in him. He never puts much effort into the preseason, and he will naturally adjust in the regular season.

The Lakers failed to beat the Clippers last season, and now they have won two games in a row. Although it is a preseason game, the players are very excited. At least the gap between the two sides does not seem to be as big as before.

There are also media who have questioned the Clippers' signings, thinking that the Gasol brothers and Vujacic are abandoned players who did not play in the Lakers and should not be introduced at all.Pau Gasol is the only one who is somewhat useful, and he is out of order when it comes to key games, so he is not a qualified helper.

In the Clippers, Thibodeau has already said that the new season will focus on the triangle offense, with Ye Feng and Love outside and Gasol inside.Ye Feng will no longer be mainly responsible for low-post offense and support.Ye Feng's tonnage is easy to get injured when playing inside. Even if the injuries don't accumulate over time, his career time will be shortened. He has to shift the focus of offense completely to the outside.

Pau Gasol will be reused, he can't wait to prove himself.

The NBA regular season will kick off on Christmas, and the Clippers will play against the Golden State Warriors at home. This is a relatively easy "soft persimmon"!
