The Los Angeles Clippers have actually made great progress this season. They hired veteran coach Mike Dunleavy. The team also gathered a group of elite players, and they gave up their previous youth strategy: because general manager Elgin Baylor's draft vision cannot be described as outstanding.
The current leader of the Clippers is Elton Brand, an insider who can stably output 20+10.
The leading outside star is Cory Maggette. Maggette has a strong body and above-average scoring ability. He is best at using his strong body to run into the penalty area and cause additional foul damage.
In addition, there are Quentin Richardson, Chris Kaman, Glenn Rice, Wilcox and a large number of newcomers and veterans with good fighting ability.
Therefore, before the game, Kobe specifically said to Su Feng: "This game must not be lost. Shaquille O'Neal is not here, they will find a way to win this game and then create news and public opinion. Over the years, the Clippers have been trying to challenge the Lakers. L.A. dominance.”
Su Feng nodded.
Of course he doesn't want to lose the first derby game when he joins the Lakers. Moreover, he hopes to shoulder a greater burden when O'Neal is injured.
Phil Jackson's starting lineup tonight is: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Su Feng, Karl Malone, and Hollis Grant.
Beep!
When the whistle sounded and players from both sides came on the court, Lakers fans also received loud cheers and applause.
Especially when Kobe and Su Feng came on the court, the cheers even exceeded those of the Clippers players.
Snapped!
Chris Kaman helps the Clippers get the ball.
The Clippers' starting lineup is: Doug Overton, Quentin Richardson, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, Chris Kaman.
Kaman is this year's No. 6 pick, ranked much higher than Su Feng, but his current reputation is far less than that of Su Feng. He was very angry in his heart. In fact, it was not just him, but all the rookies in the same class who were ranked ahead of Su Feng but whose reputation was not as good as Su Feng were very angry.
No one can calmly accept that someone who was far inferior to them suddenly flew up on their finger and turned into a phoenix. They all attributed it to their own bad luck and Su Feng's good luck.
Su Feng did not play against Kaman. He followed Quentin Richardson according to the tactical arrangement.
Richardson was one of the 'Clippers Four' created by general manager Elgin Baylor, but unfortunately the three more talented players are gone. They are the second-generation Magician Lamar Odom, the second-generation Garnett Darius Miles, and the second-generation Olajuwon Michael Olowokandi.
Only the second generation of Reggie Miller is left.
It has to be said that after Elgin Baylor, the passing superstar, became the general manager, his vicious vision rivaled that of Michael Jordan.
Quentin Richardson is a shooter, he doesn’t occupy the ball. He has never been regarded as the core and cornerstone of the team, so he instead renewed his big contract with the Clippers. He has basically never been famous in his life. The only time he was widely reported by public opinion was because he spent 1 million US dollars to buy a diamond ring and gave it to a divorced third-rate female rapper to propose. After a while, the diamonds were recovered, but they were no longer valuable.
In an NBA where there are many enemies, this can be considered a big enemy.
Now he was facing Su Feng, his face full of disdain. "You're the one who made Lindsay Lohan cry? You're dead, I'm going to cum in you tonight!"
Then, Richardson started running quickly.
His off-ball movement skills are good, and he thinks he can easily get rid of Su Feng.
However, in Su Feng's eyes, his ability to move without the ball is too weak.
Su Feng could even observe his movements two steps ahead, without anything new.
Richardson was locked tight.
Corey Maggette, who was holding the ball on the other side, beat Kobe Bryant in isolation. He used his terrifying upper body strength to get to the basket, but he ran into Karl Malone when he took off for a layup.
Malone's arms are thicker than his thighs.
boom!
Maggette struck the iron.
Grant collected the rebound and passed to Gary Payton.
Payton dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed it to Su Feng.
Payton's first passing option now is Su Feng, both on the training field and in games.
Because he looked at Su Feng as if he were looking at Jordan. Jordan cast too great a shadow on him.
Su Feng bent down and dribbled the ball while observing the situation.
Quentin Richardson stared at Su Feng and emphasized again: "You are dead, I will beat you to pieces."
Su Feng couldn't figure out why Richardson said such boring rubbish to himself?
"Are you a fan of Lindsay Lohan?"
Su Feng asked him.
ah?
Quentin Richardson was stunned for a moment...Bang!
Su Feng quickly changed direction and directly cut his defense with strong explosive power. Richardson's defense was not very good.
Su Feng flashed away and quickly rushed to the penalty area. Kaman and Brand closed together at the same time, intending to block Su Feng.
Su Feng flicked his wrist and the basketball passed to one side. Karl Malone grabbed the basketball and scored a layup.
"This is the point forward." Pippen said to Phil Jackson on the sidelines: "He distributes the ball more decisively than me."
Phil Jackson nodded slightly.
He looked at the court expectantly.
He hopes that there will be more interaction between Su Feng and Kobe Bryant, to create the feeling of Jordan Pippen back then.
Su Feng kept up with Quentin Richardson on the court. He was worried that Richardson would suddenly start quickly and create a counterattack.
Obviously, the Clippers don't have this awareness.
Quentin Richardson didn't run back very fast. He kept looking behind the bench, where there was a strange figure. He was wearing a sweatshirt, a peaked cap, and a pair of exaggerated sunglasses under the hat.
Su Feng followed Quentin Richardson's gaze and glanced there. He didn't even see the little potato in a sweatshirt, cap and sunglasses who was hiding behind the tall player.
Richardson is still running, and Su Feng is still chasing after him.
Maggette did not continue to attack and passed the ball to Brand. Brand used his flexible post-up to stagger Grant and completed the layup.
Without O'Neal, the Lakers' penalty area has become a wall that allows ventilation in all directions.
Although Grant is very experienced, he is old after all. He is 38 years old. Nicknamed Cobra, he entered the league in 1989 and established the first dynasty with the Bulls. Then he went to Orlando to partner with O'Neal and Hardaway, and then joined the Lakers.
If O'Neal hadn't been injured, he would have only played a few rounds in garbage time.
It is indeed difficult to expect him to guard Brand at his peak.
The restricted area, which originally had the greatest advantage, is becoming the Clippers' cash machine.
This is the biggest problem facing the Lakers.
The game continued, Gary Payton passed the ball to Su Feng, Su Feng passed the ball to Kobe, and then Su Feng quickly wandered on the weak side.
Kobe singled out Corey Maggette, but Maggette lured him sideways and let him enter along the baseline. When Kobe rushed to the penalty area, he was intercepted by Brand.
Kobe didn't choose to pass the ball in the double attack situation...Bang!
His negative-angle jumper missed the rim.
Without O'Neal to guard the penalty area, the Lakers' rebounding has become the biggest concern for fans.
But at this moment, Su Feng suddenly burst out from the diagonal stab. He jumped up from behind Chris Kaman's head, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket... Boom!
The basketball dunks into the hoop.
Chris Kaman, who was destined to win, was riding on his crotch.
This scene sparked screams and cheers from all Lakers supporters present.
No one expected that Su Feng would cut into the penalty area so strongly, predict the landing point of the basketball in advance when no one expected it, and then smash the basketball into the basket over Chris Kaman's head.
This requires a keen sense of rebounding and decisive execution.
Phil Jackson was pleasantly surprised.
Karl Malone is excited.
He patted Su Feng on the shoulder: "Tony, your talent in rebounding is so great."
At this time, new screams sounded in the arena.
Because the big screen above his head showed a dunk from another angle.
Su Feng was like a god coming down to earth, running wild on top of Chris Kaman's head.
This shot from under the basket makes Su Feng look majestic.
The guy wearing a peaked cap and big sunglasses raised his head. He felt this powerful momentum, and he couldn't help but let out a scream... It was a female voice.
Then, she heard the discussion of the Clippers players in front.
"Oh ho ho, this guy is a monster. How did he predict this rebound?"
"Poor Chris kept saying before the game that he would give Tony Sule two strong blocks. Unexpectedly, before the strong blocks happened, he was already riding on his crotch."
"He is jealous that Tony Su is more famous than him. He is obviously the higher-ranked rookie."
"What can be done about this? Even if Tony Su can create attention, if Chris Kaman is not convinced, he can also beat Lindsay Lohan to tears. Do you think Lindsay Lohan will sue him? So the reason why I don’t sue Tony Su is not because Tony Su is handsome. Let me tell you, handsome players are more attractive.”
"..."
I don't! I'm not!
Lindsay Lohan was very angry under her big sunglasses, and she wanted to stop the discussion between the two players in front.
However, she didn't want to expose herself.
Because the media is still discussing the news crazily, and if I appeared here, it would definitely be exaggerated.
She didn't want that matter to be brought up and hyped up again and again, because she knew very well why Su Feng cast her aside.
She disliked Su Feng's rudeness, but when she returned home, she recalled the feeling of being thrown away by Su Feng more than once. how to say? It's exciting, but also very safe.
This female star, who had no father's love since she was a child, found an inexplicable sense of security in Su Feng's powerful behavior.
So, she came here specifically to watch the game tonight. Her friend's friend Quentin Richardson provided her with VIP tickets and promised her that he would blow up Su Feng tonight to vent her anger.
However, Quentin Richardson was chased around by that nasty guy and couldn't even touch the ball. Can he really beat Su Feng?
Su Feng just dunked over his teammate's head! His teammate must have been at least two or three meters tall. Su Feng jumped up, grabbed the basketball, and slammed it into the basket. He could only bend over and run away in despair.
Women are all strong-willed.
The eyes under the sunglasses stared at Su Feng for a moment.
The game continues.
Under the command of Mike Dunleavy, the Clippers attacked the penalty area vigorously. They took advantage of O'Neal's injury and Karl Malone's aging to attack the key points.
The Lakers seemed to be struggling a bit.
On the offensive end, Kobe is a little obsessed with singles.
Although he handed over the ball to Su Feng, the cooperation between Su Feng and Karl Malone was relatively ineffective tonight because Malone's jump shot rate was not high.
Su Feng and Kobe have never formed an effective interaction on the strong and weak sides.
This is far from what Phil Jackson expected.
After the first quarter, the Clippers led by 5 points 27:22.
In the second quarter of the game, Phil Jackson adjusted the lineup. He placed Su Feng at the No. 1 position, teaming with Kobe, Luke Walton, Karl Malone, and Medenkovich.
Jackson consciously increased the thickness inside.
But at this time, Quentin Richardson fired. His running skills couldn't cope with Su Feng, but he could cope with Luke Walton.
He hit three consecutive three-pointers and stopped the game immediately.
The Zen Master asked for a timeout.
Quentin Richardson shook his fist in excitement and shouted at Su Feng: "You did something wrong and you should apologize."
Su Feng looked at him as if he was crazy.
I thought to myself, if you are willing to be Lindsay Lohan's licking dog, can you please leave me alone? What do I apologize for? I'm not the one who should apologize!
But Su Feng was in no mood to argue with him. The team was already behind by double digits.
The entire Lakers bench was filled with low pressure, and Phil Jackson was helpless.
He didn't know what to do.
Su Feng returned to the bench, just as he was about to say to Phil Jackson, 'Let me play without the ball. 'hour.
Scottie Pippen suddenly leaned into Phil Jackson's ear and said a few words.
The Zen master's expression suddenly changed.
…
