Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

The overall lineup of the Lakers this year is not much different from last year.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is:

Center: Andrew Bynum.

Power Forward: Pau Gasol.

Small forward: Trevor Ariza.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Point guard: Derek Fisher.

Subs: Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes, Steve Blake, Luke Walton, and Trey Johnson.

How to say this group of people now, it can only be said to be a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

In contrast to the Clippers' lineup, the starters are:

Center: Dayao.

Power forward: Paul Millsap.

Small Forward: Ron Artest.

Shooting guard: James Harden.

Point guard: Stephen Curry.

Substitutes: DeAndre Jordan, Serge Ibaka, Paul George, Kyle Korver, Allen Iverson, Manu Ginobili, Jeremy Lin.

Livingston and Brad Miller are inactive.

Compared with the Lakers, the Clippers can be said to be in the prime of life.

After the game started, Dayao jumped to the ball and the Clippers started to attack.

Jackson did a lot of homework on how to defend the Clippers.

He resolutely did not let Bynum defend Dayao, but asked Gasol to switch positions to defend Yao.

To be honest, let alone Bynum who hasn't grown up yet.

Even if Bynum came to Howard completely, Dayao also beat Howard with food and water.

For centers like Warcraft and Little Shark, Dayao is really invincible.

If Gasol were to play against Dayao, the result would be different.

In the 08 Olympic Games, in the national team's game against Spain, Dayao scored only 11 points.

And in the fourth quarter, Dayao's five fouls left the court, and he could only sit on the court and watch his teammates desperately.

Afterwards, some people took this as evidence, saying that Dayao was not as good as Gasol.

In fact, looking at the whole game, if there was no Dayao, the national team would have made Spain lose its way.

Now you ask Dayao whether he agrees with Gasol, then the designation is against him.

We meet in the playoffs today, so let's touch reality.

Dayao came near the penalty area, sat on Gasol, and then reached out to Harden for the ball.

Harden hit the ground and stuffed the ball into Dayao's hands.

After Dayao got the ball, he hit Gasol with his back.

Gasol was exhausted, and quickly took a step forward, fearing that Dayao would hit the inside of the penalty area with his back.

After Dayao received the signal, he turned his back and dropped the ball.

The whole body squeezed into the restricted area next to Gasol, then took off and dunked with both hands.

"Weight loss really works!"

Dayao caught the dunked basketball, threw it out of the baseline, and muttered in a low voice, and went back to defend in his own half.

Gasol felt a little helpless. Although Dayao had become thinner, his speed was much faster.

Originally, he could completely prevent this kind of back turning, but he didn't expect to be completely passed by Dayao today.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Kobe borrowed a screen from Gasol and pulled up a jumper near the free throw line.

The goal was scored and the Clippers scored two points.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack again, and Dayao helped Harden, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, make a screen, and then retreated outside the three-point line.

After Harden rushed in, facing Gasol who came back, he slammed back and passed the ball to Dayao from the three-point line.

Dayao received the ball, faced Kobe who came back, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

The goal was scored, Dayao scored 5 points in a row!

Kobe was very helpless, he had already jumped with all his strength just now.

However, due to his knee injury, he couldn't give full play to his ability at all, and could only watch Dayao throw the ball into the basket in front of him.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again, and Fisher handed the ball to Gasol at the free throw line, and then began to run.

Gasol pretended to return the ball to Fisher, who was running beyond the three-point line, only to turn around and shoot a jumper.

Dayao and Gasol have played against each other many times, whether in the league or in the international arena.

Dayao has long been familiar with his support.

Even, Gasol will suddenly turn around and shoot a jumper under the guise of support, which is also among the several possibilities predicted by Dayao.

Dayao directly stretched out his hand to interfere, and Gasol's shooting was obviously affected.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop and Millsap received the rebound.

Harden took the pass from Millsap and came to the offensive end.

Dayao took the initiative to pull outside the three-point line and helped Curry with an open screen.

Fisher was directly blocked by Dayao and couldn't catch up with Curry at all.

Curry received a pass from Harden, shot directly, and hit a three-pointer for the Clippers again.

The Lakers attacked again, this time surprisingly they didn't allow Kobe to attack with the ball.

Instead, let Fisher handle the ball himself.

Fisher directly found an opportunity to single Curry on the weak side.

In his opinion, there is a gap between himself and Curry.

Only with this level of physical strength, Curry can't compare to himself.

He turned his back directly and started single-handedly hitting Curry.

Once he is within his range, he can turn around and shoot a jumper to set up Curry.

But what he never expected was that he couldn't stand Curry!

After Curry underwent ankle surgery this summer, Yang Li made Curry start gaining weight.

In addition to training his core strength and upper body strength.

Improving core strength can allow Curry to improve his anti-interference ability when shooting.

At the same time, it can also greatly improve the stability of the defense and reduce the chance of players being injured.

And exercising upper body strength can allow Curry to improve the stability of jump shots, and the movements are less likely to be deformed.

Not to mention gaining weight, which is something that must be done in order to improve the defense.

In short, the current Curry is much stronger than the Curry of the same period in the original timeline.

Fisher failed to impress Curry in singles, and decisively passed the ball to Kobe at the top of the arc.

Harden has long consciously intercepted, after all, he knows the situation of his good brother Curry best.

As soon as Fisher passed the ball, he came to the pass lane to intercept.

Kobe didn't even react, and saw Harden break the ball.

After getting the ball, Harden counterattacked on the spot, dribbling the ball directly towards the Lakers' half court.

Kobe quickly turned around and chased after him, stuck tightly beside Harden, preventing him from getting an easy layup.

Harden reached the three-second zone and took three steps directly.

Kobe thought he was going to force a layup, so he jumped up to block it.

Harden, who was jumping in the air, suddenly received the ball, and then threw it back very casually.

Nolook pass!
