Chapter 564. Chapter 564. The Last Preseason Game Comes

From mid-June to October, more than a quarter, NBA fans have not seen NBA games for nearly two-fifths of a quarter of the year.

If you want to talk about the summer league, that seems to be considered an NBA game...

Finally, on October 10th, the summer league of NBA teams started!

This protagonist has to be played in rotation, otherwise one or two teams can play in the NBA. This year, the Lakers will not have any games in Hawaii or Las Vegas. Don’t even think about China games and European games. Just driving around LA.

The first is the two contests with Salt Lake City.

According to common sense, in the first preseason game, the team's superstar must be sent to make an appearance, but D'Antoni put Liu Ren and Kobe, Gasol, Green, and Whiteside, the five best Lakers players, on top of each other. behind the bench.

Yes, I didn't even enter the activation list.

The Lakers sent a lineup of Clarkson, McCollum, Antetokounmpo, Monroe, and Biyombo.

But the Lakers fans at the scene didn't mind!In their opinion, using this lineup against the Jazz is enough.

Hayward felt sad when he saw the lineup opposite the Lakers.

The opponent hasn't sent their best players to play, and the lineup is not what they can beat!
Hayward looked at his starter Trey Burke, Alec Burks, Derrick Favors, Rudy Gobert, which is already suitable for the team's strongest lineup, but it seems that it is not as good as the opponent. what advantage...

Hayward looked at the five strongest Lakers players who were talking and laughing behind the Lakers bench, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. It seemed that it was difficult to see that he had a chance to beat the Lakers in his career.

Yes, Hayward has never won against the Lakers in his career so far.

Just when Hayward looked at Kobe and the others, Kobe just happened to make eye contact with Hayward, and then showed a smug smile.

"Depend on!"

How could Hayward not know what Kobe meant?
Hong Guoguo's ridicule and show off!
"Isn't it just that if you win, you masturbate all day? As for it!"

After the game started, Hayward was even more desperate.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is like Clarkson + the poor version of Kobe + the weakened version of elongated strength but interferes with the enhanced version of Liu Ren + the young version of Gasol + the bankrupt version of Whiteside, the strongest lineup of the Lakers.

Although Monroe's style of play is different from Gasol's, the tactical effect is actually similar and tougher. Biyombo, who has insufficient golf quotient, really played well, holding Favors and Gobert together. beat.

It is true to say that this lineup is the poor man's version of the Lakers' strongest lineup. The tactics are the same, and the players play similarly.

But the poor version is also the strongest lineup!They are all stronger than the Jazz, just to a lesser extent, but none of them can compete with the Jazz.

The comparison of the lineup strength of the two sides is actually half a catty, but the Lakers' tactical literacy and defensive enthusiasm are not comparable to the Jazz. Therefore, after the game started, the lineups of the two sides were almost the same, but the Lakers beat the Jazz from the beginning.

This surprised even the fans. Although the Jazz are really good, with more than a dozen in the Western Conference last season, they are an NBA team after all!There are so many players with high potential, and they were beaten like this by the Lakers' second team?

The Lakers fans themselves were surprised.

The live commentary was even more shocking.

Yang Yi was slapped in the face again. He said before the game that the Lakers will definitely not be able to beat the Jazz in the second team. The Lakers are just trying to make sense of the newcomers Monroe and Biyombo, and they don't care about winning or losing.

In fact, Yang Yi has already developed insignificantly. The Lakers slapped him from the beginning to the end of the finals last year. This year he has been quite conservative and rational in his analysis.

But after being so wretched and developed, the Lakers still gave Yang Yi a big-eared melon seed. Yang Yi was helpless and desperate!Especially the laughter from the fat man next to him made him want to find a place to sneak in.

The Lakers changed from the "weakness" of previous years in this year's preseason, and started a wave of seven-game winning streak in the preseason.

In fact, the main reason is that the system is clear, and the system that is strong enough to win the championship is already very clear. The tasks assigned to each player are very clear. Just do those things when they go up. There is no need for him to do anything else, because his teammates are already Get everything else done.

As for the Lakers' opponents, the Jazz, Nuggets, Suns, and Kings, first of all, there is no perfect system, and the lineup is similar to that of the Lakers' second team. Of course, they will be played by the Lakers.

In the first six games, D'Antoni really didn't let the five strongest players play even once. In training, he has seen that these five players have not wasted time in the summer and have maintained a very good state. Moreover, Kobe, Gasol, Green The team has the deepest understanding of the team's tactical system. Liu Ren and Whiteside are also the two who do the best defensively.

Moreover, the Suns and Liu Ren almost have a sworn feud, and the Kings, which are very close to Phoenix, are the same. D'Antoni still does not intend to let Liu Ren go up and be besieged by the opponent.

But in the last game, D'Antoni started to get serious.

The opponent of the Lakers in the last game of this year's preseason is the Warriors!
After the Lakers, the most popular team in the West is the Warriors.

Compared with the Clippers who were forever rejected from the Western Conference finals, the Spurs who introduced superstars but are a year old, the Rockets who seem to have no hope, and the Thunder who also have no hope, the Warriors are more popular with fans. Like, they have a talent very similar to the Lakers, with the legendary Steve Kerr who can win 60+ games in the first year of coaching, plus the core lineup is quite young, not only the fans, the Lakers and the league Everyone believes that the Warriors are the only team in the West that can challenge the Lakers' throne.

D'Antoni thinks the same way. His imaginary enemy has changed from last season's Spurs to the Warriors.

And what D'Antoni fears the most is not the Warriors' invincible backcourt combination Splash Brothers, but the Randall who supported the Warriors' offensive core position last year as a rookie!

In the Lakers locker room, the players were also discussing Randle and Green.

Since the start of last year's playoffs, the topic of who is better between Green and Randall has become one of the hot topics among fans.

It is true that Green played Randall in the playoffs last year as if he was playing for fun, and the honor he got was crushed by Randall.

But that was just Randall in his rookie year. Randall's physical talent is undoubtedly much stronger than Green's, and his learning ability is not much worse. The key is better talent. In addition, Randall and Green are both players. The real core of the team, so who will be stronger between the two in the future, people are very concerned about.

"Drummond, kill that beast, and someone said that the second grader is better than you? Are they blind!" Nick Yang decisively fanned the flames.

Green didn't seem to mind, and responded casually.

But Liu Ren didn't watch the cartoon before seeing Green's game, but watched the video clips about Randall in the Warriors' preseason games sent to him by the team editor, so he knew that Green was serious today. .

Speaking of the fact that Green watched cartoons before the game, Liu Ren noticed it inadvertently. He found that Green would watch cartoons when he was dealing with opponents he didn't like much, and he would watch cartoons when dealing with opponents he valued. Watch the tapes of his opponents.

In the first game of the playoffs against the Clippers last season, Green watched an episode of Naruto, and during the series against the Pelicans, Green used his mobile phone to watch two episodes of Crayon Shin-chan before each game, but never played against the Clippers. At the beginning of the second game, Green stopped watching cartoons, but studied each opponent thoroughly, and then prevented the opponent until he vomited blood.

But like Green, D'Antoni, the Lakers and even fans, Liu Ren also regards the Warriors as his biggest imaginary enemy.

Although Green from the Warriors team in Liu Ren's memory in that time and space had turned into Randall, Liu Ren also found that Randall was not the reckless man he remembered. Under the guidance of Steve Kerr, Randall Del is developing in a completely different direction, like a version of Green with extremely weak defense but more aggressive offense and scoring ability.

As the saying goes, Huainan is an orange and Huaibei is a trifoliate. Not to mention that the original Randall developed in the wrong direction in the Lakers, and became a stunned young man who can only hit the basket, but he seems to be enlightened like he is now in the Warriors. Randall, who has become the core of the offense, is incomparable. In his rookie year, he got close to a double-double plus 5 assists. Randall's future can be said to be promising!
The Warriors' playmaker has changed from Green to Randall. In fact, it is not a particularly bad thing from the offensive end, and it may bring even more obstacles to Liu Ren.
