After the Clippers got Paul and chose Griffin, their strength was a visible improvement.

In the past, Los Angeles was always a city for the Lakers, and the Clippers were like tenants and concubines.

With Paul's arrival, the Clippers have a core on the offensive end and his dominance, and no team's offense will be messed up.

Griffin is a ticket selling tool. After being reimbursed in the first year, his performance in the second year was amazing.

The Clippers are starting to have more fans in Los Angeles.

In the game tonight, in addition to fans wearing Lakers jerseys, many Los Angeles people wore Clippers jerseys.

Even some couples and friends, one wears the Lakers No. 24 and the other wears the Clippers No. 3.

Clippers fans are looking forward to Paul and Griffin becoming another classic point guard-power forward combination.

Just like Carl Malone and John Stockton.

However, at this time Chris Paul already possessed Stockton's ability, even more than that.

And Griffin is obviously still far from Carl Malone.

The Clippers are Chris Paul's team.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Clippers controlled the situation on the field.

For Paul, Blake was like being unprepared on the court.

After Mike Brown suspended, he replaced Li Liang and Morris on the court, replacing Blake and Ci Shiping.

Morris was just called back from the Development League yesterday. His height, defense, will help the Lakers.

When he appeared, Li Liang said to Morris: "If you can't deal with Paul, remember to call for help."

Morris nodded.

Morris must be a little scared about playing against Paul.

He played last season with the Clippers and knew that Paul was very difficult to deal with.

This 183-year-old guy is so talented.

However, with Li Liang as the backing, Morris felt confident.

The Clippers also made substitutions, and their head coach Negro liked to rotate 10 people.

He replaced Willy Green with Jamal Crawford to further strengthen the offensive firepower on the Clippers' field.

Obviously, Negro felt that increasing the three-pointers and ball-holding points on the court would have a bigger blow to the Lakers.

The Lakers' defensive end are really slow.

None of the five starters had a straightforward leg.

So Paul brought the pace very quickly. The reason why the score was not widened was that the starting shooting rate was not enough, and the other was that Kobe was in good shape today and scored consecutively to bite the score.

Now there is a Morris on the opposite side, and there is also No. 28, Bruce Lee?

Recently, this kid seems to be a bit popular in the Los Angeles media.

I opened the web pages of newspapers and sports media and saw articles about this guy several times.

The 55th pick player has never played any games in NCAA. After the winning selection, he miraculously performed well in the summer league, preseason, and the first two games of the regular season. He may become the next "Li Crazy"?

Negro had not had time to study this Bruce Lee before the game.

At the beginning of the season, everyone is debugging, and it is normal for some small characters to perform impressively.

When the season deepens and more games are more and more, the light will always fade away.

Negro thought so, and the game on the court started again.

The Lakers, who came back from the timeout, immediately scored a goal on the offensive end.

It was Kobe again, he ate Caron Butler one-on-one on the right.

With skillful shoulder-shaking action, he squeezed his back to about 15 feet away, turned around and leaned back and jumped.

So smooth and graceful.

The Lakers narrowed the score.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Paul controls the ball.

Morris is keeping a close eye on Paul. Of course, for Paul, it makes no sense to press down on defense.

Not only is it difficult to disrupt his rhythm, but on the contrary, if you are not careful, you will be fooled by him.

Paul carefully observed the situation on the court and read the Lakers' defense.

The Lakers started with an ordinary one-on-one defense. After the timeout came back, they changed a joint defense.

Joint defense tests the tacit understanding and mutual response between players.

If the tacit understanding is not good, the result of joint defense is that no one can prevent it.

The Clippers players pulled apart in all directions, and Griffin wanted to come up and make a wall for Paul.

Paul waved Griffin to walk in.

Griffin immediately ran back and drilled into the inside line, and this was behind Gasol!

The problem with Gasol's defense against Griffin is that he can't keep up with this stupid boy.

Paul immediately entered the inside line with a lob ball, and Howard came to assist in defense at the basket.

Griffin has already entered the reasonable collision zone.

He took the ball and flashed a moment of fake action, moved his position, and then passed the ball to the wing and inserted Jordan Jordan!

Jordan Jr. will have a dunk when he gets this ball!

Unexpectedly, the whole thing was suddenly hugged and pulled down.

It's Li Liang.

He came up from behind and pulled Jordan down directly.

A goal that was bound to score was fouled by Li Liang and turned into two free throws.

Jordan's free throw level is incomparable to Li Liang.

Missed two free throws, Howard got the backcourt rebound.

Jordan was a little depressed, and he even pinched his shoulders. Li Liang had a foul just now and it was cruel enough.

The Lakers' defense has never shown such ruthlessness before.

In this way, although the Lakers failed in defense, they did not lose points.

It was the Lakers' turn to fight back, and Kobe passed the ball to Morris.

Morris carried the ball forward.

Morris didn't perform well on the court last season.

It's purely luck to be able to return to the Lakers this time.

No one thought Nash was injured in the second game.

Coupled with Blake's flaw in playing style, Morris had a chance.

Morris' performance was unsatisfactory during the summer league.

He is the only ball-holding point for the Lakers, especially the cooperation between him and Li Liang, and is one of the few highlights of the Lakers who are not talented.

The two of them were on the same stage again. Morris felt relieved when he saw Li Liang not far away.

Li Liang stepped forward and gave Morris a pick-and-roll cover.

Paul squeezed directly over the guard against Morris, and his hands kept moving.

Li Liang did not retreat outside, but chose to cut inward very rarely.

Morris passed the ball to Li Liang with a sling pass.

The one who faced Li Liang was Jamal Crawford, and the two were a bit far behind in their body shapes.

However, even if Crawford's defense is poor, it is still difficult for Li Liang to play with the ball.

Because there is still Jordan squatting inside.

After Li Liang received the ball, he turned around and faced Crawford with his back, in the rib position.

This is Kobe's favorite position to eat it on his back.

At this time, Kobe, who was standing on the wing, was stunned and thought, "I want to imitate my back-to-back singles?"

Even Mike Brown was stunned. What did this guy want to do?

Just one second later, Li Liang gave the answer.

Of course he can't play singles behind his back, he can just do it, he can't play singles!

But he will pass the ball with his back!
