Los Angeles Clippers Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: Gordon, Small Forward: Rasoul, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Su Hao.
Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup: Point Guard: Fisher, Shooting Guard: Kobe, Small Forward: Odom, Power Forward: Gasol, Center: Bynum.
"Come on!"
In the commentary box.
Barkley looked excited. "Old Fish" Fisher has a baseline three-point shot and the strong physique to go toe-to-toe with LeBron."
Kobe Bryant, the "Black Mamba" and last year's Finals MVP, needs no introduction about how good he was.
Lamar Odom, known as the "Left-Handed Magician," was an incredibly versatile player.
Pau Gasol, the Lakers' second-in-command, an All-Star player, whose overall ability is second only to Kobe Bryant.
Center Bynum, nicknamed "Little Shaq," possesses extremely explosive physical attributes.
The Lakers' starting lineup is truly formidable on both offense and defense, and their strength is outrageous.
And worth mentioning.
Generally, the Lakers' starting small forward is Artest, but tonight they started with a lineup of three tall players at the beginning of the game.
The purpose is simple.
The Lakers fully acknowledge Su Hao's strength and are prepared to use the power of their three big men to surround and suppress him.
Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," was very intelligent.
He knew... as long as Su Hao was defeated, as long as the "Hulk" was contained to some extent, the Lakers would surely win!
of course.
The entire league knows that this is the way to limit Su Hao and defeat the Clippers.
But so far, it seems that no team has truly achieved this.
The Clippers are the defending champions, can they pull it off tonight? Let's wait and see!
"Yes."
Reggie Miller nodded emphatically and continued, "The Los Angeles derby that the whole world has been waiting for is here!"
Both teams are extremely strong.
This is a battle like Mars colliding with Earth.
Who will emerge victorious? Let's find out in the upcoming main event!
Accompanied by the passionate commentary of the two commentators.
"Jumpball!"
The ball contest between Su Hao and Bynum.
Bynum is nicknamed "Little Shark," and this isn't just a nickname; it's directly related to his talent.
He is 213 cm tall, has a wingspan of 229 cm, weighs 129 kg, and has an amazing running vertical jump of 90 cm.
This combination of talent is truly exceptional.
of course.
When God opens a door, He closes a window.
His physical attributes are top-notch, but he and McGee are similar in one way: they are both top-tier players below the head.
He has exceptional talent, but his football intelligence is only average.
However, because his talent ceiling was so high, his achievements in the NBA career were far greater than McGee's.
but.
Even with Andrew Bynum's immense talent, he still has to take a backseat to Andrew Su Hao, the Hulk.
He is 230 cm tall, has a wingspan of 244 cm, weighs 400 catties, and can bench press 320 kg.
Talent?!
Sorry, Su Hao has never lost.
Su Hao has not lost a single contest this season, which is a testament to his historically great physical talent.
Tonight? ...The same goes for tonight.
"Snapped!"
Su Hao jumped carefully, showing Bynum full respect, and didn't knock the basketball over Bynum's head.
Curry then pushed the ball up the court, setting up the Clippers for the first possession of the Los Angeles derby.
He just pushed it over.
Kobe pounced on him, lowering his center of gravity and stretching out his long arms, playing very seriously on defense.
A suffocating defense.
"hiss……"
Curry's lips twitched violently; Kobe's defense was putting immense pressure on him.
He quickly waved, signaling to provide cover.
Lasol came up.
But Kobe had already been watching the screen next to him, and he ran up at top speed, bypassing the screen, and continued to keep an eye on Curry.
Curry can't score.
Curry felt immense pressure when his team couldn't score on the first possession.
He hadn't experienced this level of defensive intensity in previous matches, at least not at the very beginning of this game.
"Wow!"
Curry could only pass the ball to Gordon at the top of the key on one side.
He doesn't have Curry's ball-handling skills; when he gets the ball, he wants to pass it to Su Hao under the basket.
but.
The Lakers' three tall players surrounded Su Hao.
"Little Shark" Bynum used his tough body to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Su Hao.
Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom delayed Su Hao, preventing him from having a good opportunity to receive the ball.
The three men came up to surround and attack.
Gordon can't pass the ball, but he can easily create scoring opportunities himself.
A simple dribble, a step to the side, an opportunity arises, and a three-pointer is launched.
This ball?
The feel isn't good.
"Bang!"
Blacksmithing.
But this is the norm.
The Clippers' offensive efficiency has never been high, but they have an excellent second-chance point offense.
The offensive rebound was given to Su Hao.
Even against three tall, strong players, Su Hao stands firmly in the paint, his absolute talent overwhelming the entire court, and his rim protection threat is ever-present.
Even if it's three people fighting over one person.
That didn't work either.
Bynum relentlessly challenged Su Hao off the ball, trying to prevent him from getting up, while Odom and Gasol protected the rim.
The idea is beautiful.
The reality is very skinny.
Su Hao remained still until he made a stunning debut.
Before vying for the rebound, he allowed Bynum to contest him, only exerting a little force to withstand his impact.
But once the landing point of the backboard was detected...
Su Hao suddenly exerted his strength, and even though Bynum was as strong as Little Shark, he was still no match for Su Hao's 320 kg bench press.
The Hulk pushed aside the little shark.
Jump up.
His height, wingspan, and jumping ability combined to make Odom and Gasol despair the moment he took off.
"Snapped!"
Su Hao easily secured the offensive rebound.
He wants to attack.
"You think beautiful!"
Pau Gasol pounced on him.
Odom followed.
In an instant, the three surrounded and enveloped Su Hao, despite Su Hao's height advantage.
However, the Lakers have three tall players, all of whom are very talented. It's quite difficult for them to have a comfortable offensive presence when surrounded by the three of them.
The competition has only just begun.
Su Hao did not intend to launch a direct attack.
With three players surrounding you, it means there will definitely be many open offensive opportunities on the outside.
Without even thinking about it.
Su Hao was about to throw himself out to find Curry when he suddenly noticed... Kobe was watching Curry.
I kept staring at it.
Even when Laszczuk screened for Curry, trying to get Curry to get the ball around Kobe, it was still a difficult situation.
but.
Kobe was a member of the All-Defensive First Team for many consecutive years, and he was also very good at getting around screens.
He didn't give Curry a chance.
Nothing.
Su Hao chose to pass the ball to David Lee under the basket on the other side, who could almost attack as soon as he got the ball.
but.
Odom's talent is truly remarkable; he turned and chased after David Lee, still managing to disrupt him effectively even when Lee attacked first.
"Bang!"
To disrupt David Lee's attack.
He also protected the rebound.
The Lakers used three tall centers to surround Su Hao, while the experienced Kobe Bryant guarded the inexperienced Curry.
moment.
The Clippers' other role players are being put to the test as both of their "Davidson Academy duo" are effectively neutralized.
Lassell, Gordon, and David Lee.
Facing the defending champion Lakers in a Western Conference Finals-level matchup, can they be trusted?
Su Hao really wanted to trust him.
He also gave these players many second-chance opportunities.
But... it really didn't work, the score difference kept increasing over time.
Halftime is over.
The Clippers are down by a full nine points against the Lakers.
During halftime, Coach Dunleavy approached Su Hao and said in a deep voice, "Su, you can't keep passing the ball to role players, especially against a defending champion team like the Lakers."
You need to stand up more!
You need to use your powerful attacks, keep making incredible plays, and forcefully connect the team through offense!!!
