Chapter 1073
The Los Angeles Derby has become the most exciting word for NBA fans this season... In the NBA, apart from New York and Los Angeles, no other city has two NBA teams.

The New York Knicks have been rotten for so many years, and the Nets Durant will not come back until next season, so it's hard to say yet.But even if Durant returns, the Knicks are not a good team, and the New York Derby still has nothing to hype.

The Los Angeles Derby is different...

Los Angeles now has 5 of the top 3 stars in the league, and Paojiao was also a striker last season.This kind of duel is definitely full of sparks.

In addition, it is another Christmas game. For American NBA fans, watching such a focus game during the festival is really a gluttonous feast!
The venue for the game is Staples, so home and away don't matter much.In fact, if these two teams rank among the top 2 in the Western Conference in the future, it really doesn't matter who ranks first if they meet in the Western Conference Finals, because there is no home and away relationship, nothing more than a different floor style.

With the current record, the Clippers are No. 2 in the West and the Lakers are No. [-] in the West. If this state is maintained until the end of the season, it will be quite interesting.

In this game, the Clippers' starting lineup is still the same, with 3 old Thunder + Zubac + Heibei.For the Lakers, Zhan Mei + Huang Ama + McGee + AB.

The two teams started basically exactly the same as the opener.

After the game started, both sides played their own routines.For the Lakers, Zhan and Mei basically make money, chasing Zubac and moving slowly, while thick eyebrows play Patterson in a low position, using the superstar's ability to attract defense and create opportunities for Tielin AB on the outside. Eat pie for McGee under the basket.

The Clippers, also aimed at McGee's squatting, used pick-and-rolls to chase, Xie Kai misplaced and used his height to play AB, and then it was a competition switch.

The Lakers' conversion mainly relies on James' impact with the ball and his first pass, while the Clippers rely on the conversion of Xie Kai and Pickled Pepper.

The two teams started off evenly, and in the middle of the first quarter, James went off to rest.

After James rested, the thick eyebrows led the team alone. At this time, Rondo was holding the ball from the outside.

Rondo's regular season this season is very poor. He and Kuzma are very bad on the defensive end. They were ridiculed by Lakers fans as a "hole combination".These two defend garbage, and the offensive one doesn't shoot, the other shoots unstable and likes to hold the ball, and is prone to mistakes. It is simply a duo that sends points.

The main offensive point of the Lakers at this time is the thick eyebrows. The thick eyebrows are not top-level offense with the ball, but off the ball, especially the lob and the second assault with the ball. They can catch jump shots, breakthrough small throws, layups/slam dunks, and the options are extremely diverse. .

The Clippers' strategy is very simple, which is to pinch the thick eyebrows and empty Rondo.

Pope and Tielin's 3-point shooting percentages this season are also poor, but they are shooters anyway, so they still can't let go.

Thick eyebrows are very afraid of pinching, this is the biggest gap between him and his predecessor KG.Both of them are big spider players, they can hold the ball and off the ball, and they can defend from 1 to 5 defenses. In comparison, the thick eyebrows have a longer shooting range and better dribbling, but in terms of ability to control the ball , KG is the father.

During this period, the Clippers took advantage of the opponent's mistakes and iron strikes to counterattack and open the score.

When it comes to the rotation stage, the Clippers are still combined with Luha, and the Lakers are led by James with the second team.

The Lakers' second team is James, Kuzma, Rondo/Pope, Caruso and Howard.The biggest problem with this lineup is that the offensive space is really poor.

The best shooter in this lineup is Pope, but he has not been in a good state recently, and both Caruso and Rondo can be let go.As for Kuzma and James, the 3-pointers of these two people are like a ghost, who knows when they will be accurate.As for the sparks, 3 points are easy to score during training, but everyone knows that training and competition are not the same thing.

A large part of the reason why the Clippers are more optimistic than the Lakers is because their bench lineup is more stable and their scoring ability is stronger.The Lakers need James to lead the second team, and the Clippers have the Luha combination, which can stabilize their points.

The offense of the second team of the Lakers is indeed a bit constipated, but the defense is unambiguous, especially Howard.Today's Howard has a good attitude, even a little humble. He is obviously better than McGee, but he is willing to play as a substitute in order to prove himself again.

The two sides belonged to mutual explosions, and the score did not widen, but it did not shrink either.

After the main force of the two sides came back, they were still evenly matched.

At halftime, the Clippers led by 5 points.

The trend of the second half was similar to that of the first half. The Clippers still played a small climax during the "hole combination" period, and were deadlocked with the opponent in other periods.

In the end, relying on Xie Kai's control of the field, the Clippers maintained their score advantage until the end, won the Christmas game, and refused to lose streak.

After this game, the Clippers have double-killed the Lakers this season. In the evaluation of the outside world, they are the more popular championship candidates.

But Xie Kai thinks that the regular season and the playoffs are completely different games. Obviously, the Lakers have not finished adjusting, and their lineup can still be adjusted. Once the rotation is reduced in the playoffs, this team is still very scary.

In addition, the trade deadline has not yet passed, and both teams have the opportunity to trade again and make minor repairs to the lineup, so future variables still exist.

The Lakers did not make the playoffs last season, and now they have achieved the second record in the Western Conference this season, which is already quite good.

On December 12, the Clippers played against the Jazz at home.

In this game, Xie Kai scored a triple-double and helped the team beat the opponent 120:107, ushering in two consecutive victories.

On December 12, in the last game of 31, the Clippers beat the Kings away and ushered in a 2019-game winning streak.

After 3 consecutive victories, the Clippers' record came to 30 wins and 5 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.

The time has entered 2020...

On January 2020, 1, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last month.

The best player in the East is still Antetokounmpo, while Xie Kai is still the best player in the West.

Xie Kai scored 12 points in December and led his team to rank first in the league. He deserves this award.

In the regular season MVP rankings, Xie Kai is currently ranked first, while Antetokounmpo is second.

Brother Antetokounmpo is really aggrieved. Judging from his statistics and leadership record last season, he is already fully qualified to win the MVP. This season, his basic statistics and advanced statistics have improved to a higher level, but he is still thanked Suppressed tightly.

For Antetokounmpo, it is "both born Yu and Sheng Liang", but for other superstars, why not?
谢开在新赛季2019年的所有比赛中，场均可以砍下令人恐怖的37.7分6.3个篮板7.5次助攻2.5次抢断0.9个盖帽。

This is the third time anyone has averaged more than 2005 points per game since Kobe Bryant in 16-3 and Harden last season.Of course, whether Xie Kai's scoring average can be maintained until the end of the season is uncertain, but it is indeed terrifying.
