The problem is defense.
So far this season, Los Angeles Lakers's defensive efficiency ranks only 22nd among League.
You know, James, Rondo, Ball, and even Ingram are not very poor defensive players.
Then the question arises, who should be blamed~~
Before the start of the game, after the entrance ceremony of Lakers.
Chen Xi was looking at Old Zhang, standing in front of the technical stage, preparing to do his magnesium powder throwing ceremony, when he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from Fans on the scene.
I looked up and saw a hot man!!! appeared on the big screen.
Kobe·Bu Ryan special!
Lakers has been an absolute soul figure for the past fifteen years.
5 NBA Championship, two fmvp, 1 mvp, 18 times All-Star, 11 times 1 formation, 9 times 1 defense, 2 times Scoring Champion, 2 times Olympic Champion and so on.
A huge amount of honors have been accumulated on this man.
A legendary career has created the team spirit of Los Angeles Lakers.
Kobe was dressed in casual clothes, with a knitted hat on his head. He took his wife and children with him and slowly sat down on the first row of seats not far from the bench of Lakers.
After looking up at the big screen, he also smiled and said hello to the Fans people present, in response to the cheers of the Fans people.
This arena has always been extremely fond of him.
After a brief period of chaos and noise, the game began.
The Starting Lineup lineup of Lakers is: Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Yvel Zubac.
Just looking at the lineup, it's really scary.
Still sitting on the bench are Kyle Kuzma, Rajan Rondo, Lance Stephenson, Tyson Chandler·Chandler. (The Boxer reached a buyout with Suns on November 7, and then joined Lakers.)
As for Thunder, it is the regular Starting Lineup lineup.
After the whistle of Referee blew, McGee easily beat Zubac.
Thunder's possession of the ball.
Westbrook dribbles the ball to Frontcourt, and initiates Pick-and-Roll at Top of the Key.
Cooperation with Chen Xi.
Use the screen to quickly break through and then release the ball.
Chen Xi catches the ball from outside and faces Ball.
Quick start, Crossover Step breakthrough, take two steps to open up the space and then quickly Crossover Dribble, change direction after emergency stop, then start a second time, Hesitation Dribble breakthrough into Interior.
After stepping on Free-Throw Line, he collected the ball directly, jumped with Behind-the-Back Wraparound, connected with the big loop in the air and changed hands Layup, avoided Zubac's defense, and threw the ball into Basket.
It was a very difficult goal. Chen Xi was in a very high state tonight.
"OMG!! John Wall!!! Chris's difficult breakthrough Layup, it's hard not to think of Dong Yikong who is now injured at home!!! This is John Wall's signature move!"
"Although Chris is bigger and slower than him, there is not much difference in the smoothness of his movements. It is really amazing! This is simply art!!"
After landing, Chen Xi rolled around to relieve his force, raised his head, and was right in front of Baseline's camera.
So Chen simply sat on the ground and made a strong move towards the camera, celebrating briefly and pretending to be cool.
In this gathering of superstars, it is still very exciting to be the first person to score~~
Lakers attack.
The player dribbles the ball forward to Frontcourt, and then Top of the Key passes the ball to James.
Old Zhang holds the ball at a 45-degree angle, waits for Anthony's cover, and then breaks through.
I have to say, these are true brothers.
Who would dare to let Anthony come to Pick-and-Roll...
After James broke through, he didn't stop for a moment, accelerated and rushed like a bull, and reached the position close to Paint. Then, facing Davis's defense, he quickly turned Layup and sent the ball away.
Basketball bumped on the frame twice and still fell in.
Rely on speed, use movement to defeat silence, and complete the attack.
This is what James is good at.
Of course, if the defender was not Davis, maybe he would have been Forceful drive Poster Dunk when he entered...
Exchange of ball rights, Thunder attack.
It's still Pick-and-Roll from Top of the Key.
After receiving the callback, Chen Xi did not rush to take action. Instead, he waved his hand to attract the cover of McGee, then moved one step away from James and named Zubac.
He is the weakest link in the Lakers lineup.
Zunier, known as Doncic scope~~
Facing Zubac, Isolation on the outside.
After Chen Xi quickly shook the opponent's center of gravity with Crossover Dribble, he followed up with a step Hesitation Step Shot Fake, then made a big change of direction and pulled horizontally, followed by Step-back, and Three-pointer pull-up jumper.
Huh~~
Basketball Swished Through the Net.
The opening two shots were both hits, and Chen Xi's Touch was hot.
Back to Lakers attack.
James advances with the ball, High Wing looks for Zubac Pick-and-Roll, and after the breakthrough, the ball is given to Zubac.
Zubac Roll After receiving the ball, Face-Up made a small Floater shot.
Although Pick-and-Roll Roll avoided McGee by using his movements, the person who really guarded Interior was obviously not him.
Anthony·Davis flew out. With his long arms, he slapped Basketball away hard.
The ball was slapped from the side and fell into the hands of Grant not far away on the left.
Grant didn't think twice after catching the ball and handed it directly to Westbrook.
Westbrook catches the ball and quickly advances to counterattack.
A quick whirlwind from Thunder Team~~
Westbrook dribbled the ball Fast Break, On the Move just relied on straight-line acceleration, passed the two Chase Defense, rushed to the basket, and flew like a C-shaped tomahawk.
Beng!!!!!
Exaggerated aesthetics of violence.
Finished with a chop from Westbrook.
7 to 2.
Thunder started with great momentum and showed great momentum.
Lakers serves again and attacks again.
After James dribbles the ball to Frontcourt, Top of the Key lobs the ball to Anthony in the low post.
Melo Low post hit Grant.
After catching the ball, he leans in, then quickly turns around after dropping the ball. After a signature drum washing machine, he connects with the low hand Layup.
Two points easily scored.
This year's Anthony can at least be considered as a treasure.
Thunder pushed to convert, Westbrook dribbled the ball past Midcourt Line, and directly passed the ball with a huge span to Lakers Paint.
McGee jumps up to catch the ball, and after landing, jumps up twice to attack the frame.
Beep!!!
Although he occupied a favorable position, McGee was directly pulled down by Zubac and failed to complete the shot.
Site on Free-Throw Line.
One of two free throws ended the attack.
Although not perfect, Thunder scored in all four of its opening attacks.
The ferocity of the firepower is evident.
The state of Lakers is slightly worse.
The next Possession, Ingram received a sudden break from James, Three-Point Shot, Basketball Brick popped up.
After Chen Xi took off the Backcourt board, he quickly pushed back and hit another super long pass just past Midcourt Line.
In the distance, Westbrook was leading the way, rushing out. Lakers Paint flew up, caught the ball with both hands, and violently exploded the basket.
From the tacit connection between the Weixi group.
