In essence, Li Zhen is the number one offensive engine in the world. Give him a group of players who can project offensive firepower and he can take off.

This has been confirmed since he was still with the New York Knicks.

Now that his strength has suddenly increased many times, creating such openings is not something he can easily do.

Moreover, compared to last season when the Clippers were stretched at the three-point line, this season the Clippers have three more above-average shooters in Nash, Kidd, and Carter, as well as Gordon Hayward.

, his ability from beyond the three-point line has become increasingly good.

In addition, Blake Griffin's shooting ability, O'Neal's shooting ability, Eddie Griffin's shooting ability, Allen Iverson's shooting ability...all cannot be underestimated.

The Clippers' poor record this season is just an illusion. In other words, the Clippers used all the previous 50 games for training. At the same time, Li Zhen was still refreshing various statistics.

Once he stops to reorganize, the team can immediately burst into unstoppable momentum.

The Los Angeles Lakers were careless.

Kobe Bryant is getting more and more nervous.

Looking back, he was even more cautious in his command tactics. With the help of Chris Paul, the team quickly established an offensive force with Yao Huang as the arrow.

As Yao Huang established his firepower advantage in the penalty area, Kobe and Paul also released their firepower easily, forming a trinity.

The three superstars each performed their duties, and the Lakers entered into a violent offensive momentum.

This powerful force seems to be more terrifying than the Big Four in New York last season.

Li Zhen also had to show his 200% state. He continued to threaten on the flanks, opened up the defense with unbelievable courage, and then connected in series... barely maintaining a dynamic balance with the Lakers.

Down the first quarter.

The Lakers took a 2-point lead at 31:29.

This is far beyond people's calculations.

Because according to statistics, the Lakers lead their opponents by an average of 5.8 points in the first quarter this season.

As we all know, the Lakers' offensive firepower is the strongest in the first quarter. This is because Yao Ming has the most physical strength and the most offensive power in the first quarter.

But now, the Clippers used offense to counterattack to withstand the Rockets' offensive in the first quarter.

After entering the second quarter, the Clippers' rotation was obviously stronger.

Beep!

As expected, the Los Angeles Lakers took Yao Wei off the court in the second quarter and replaced him with backup center Chris Kaman.

Chris Kaman can be regarded as an above-average center, and was once selected as an All-Star in his peak period. Before Li Zhen arrived at the Clippers, he also served as the leader of the Clippers, with an output close to 20+10.

The Lakers paid more than $8 million in luxury tax every year to bring him in, which can be said to be a huge investment.

Compared to the Lakers' fuss with substitutions.

The Clippers can be said to be completely transformed.

Milicic, O'Neal Jr., Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, and Li Zhen played together.

Three veterans and one former parallel importer.

This combination was enough to make Reggie Miller exclaim on TV: "I even thought that time went back ten years."

Kobe stood on the court looking at the Clippers players with inexplicable emotions.

Two fellow students of the 1996 generation, Vince Carter was ranked among the top four point guards with him at the time, and was Jordan's successor. They have been fighting openly and secretly.

Today, he is still in a high position. But these opponents are no longer at their peak either due to age or injuries.

It's particularly sentimental to meet old friends.

"The Clippers were a little too risky."

Bill Walton talked on TV. He thinks the Clippers can use veterans, but they can't put up three at once. What if they can't hold on?

No chance!

Anyone who has reached the top has the heart of a king.

As Kobe opened the second quarter with a mid-range turnaround jumper, the Clippers quickly responded.

After Li Zhen arrived in the frontcourt with the ball, he immediately pulled to the strong side in a singles position and attracted the defense to quickly hand the ball to Allen Iverson.

As soon as Iverson, who was roaming on the weak side, received the basketball, he quickly showed a brave and decisive attitude. He suddenly rushed to the penalty area. Although his speed and explosiveness were not as good as before, his resolute attitude was still the unruly answer.

When Iverson jumped into the air, Chris Kaman jumped up soon after and tried to suppress Iverson.

But Iverson used a dexterous lever in mid-air, and forced a change of hands, throwing the basketball in a weightless state in mid-air... Whoosh!

The basketball hit the net at the same time.

Iverson fell to the floor and slid backwards, just like before.

He is already familiar with the road.

Although the speed of getting up is not as fast as when I was young.

But...when have you ever seen him frown?

"The transmission is pretty good."

Iverson gave Li Zhen a thumbs up on his way back to defense.

Li Zhen teased him: "I thought you could dunk."

Iverson raised his eyebrows: If I want to dunk, I will dunk Yao Huang.

This guy always refuses to bow his head when he steps on the court. He is naturally proud.

When the Lakers turned around to regroup, Iverson quickly stood in front of Kobe again.

He is still the No. 1 pick in 1996.

The way he looked at Kobe was still unruly and condescending.

Just like the summer of 1996.
