The starting lineup of the Lakers who played away are: center - Timofe Mozgov, power forward - Julius Randle, small forward - Ruhr Deng, shooting guard - Nick Young, organizational defender - D'angelo Russell.

After Kobe retired, Nick Young, as the strongest scorer in the team's No. 2 position, became the starter. In the eyes of Lakers fans, this position was originally reserved for Xie Kai, and Nick Young is more suitable to play as a substitute.

The Thunder's appearance ceremony was also very cool, so Westbrook naturally made the finale. Although he is not the strongest player in the team, he is a veteran of this team.

Westbrook had wanted to give up the finale role to Xie Kai, but Xie Kai refused.

Xie Kai's original words were: "Russ, this is your team, I will not compete with you for such things. You should know that in Memphis, I have never been the finale. So, don't mention this to me again in the future, we are brothers!"

Westbrook knew that Xie Kai was not polite, because during the Grizzlies, the Black Bear Randolph was the finale at home, not Xie Kai.

"I understand, my brother, I will not mention this matter again!" Westbrook said seriously.

Mozgov and Aquaman Adams are preparing to jump near the center circle, and the game is about to begin.

The Ford Center Arena is still full in this game, and the appeal of the three giants is too strong. Especially after Xie Kai arrived, a large number of K-mi came to watch the game on site, injecting new vitality into the arena.

The jump starts, Mozgov jumps to Adams and the game officially begins.

Russell dribbled over slowly.

This Russell has no relationship with Lord of the Rings Bill Russell. He graduated from Ohio State University and was selected by the Lakers with the second pick in the first round in the 2015 draft.

As a second-tier pick, Russell's rookie was not outstanding in the season. During his 28 minutes of playing time, he scored 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals. In the end, he entered the second team of the All-Rookie Team after the end of the season.

If Russell is treated with the core of the team building, he is completely unqualified. His shooting skills are OK, but his defense is really bad, and he plays a little as he wants, and he feels that he lacks the determination to win.

The most important thing is that Russell's physical fitness is not outstanding, which is also the fundamental reason why he cannot be regarded as the No. 1 pick. If you want to become a superstar, it is difficult to do without super talent.

Curry is an exception!

If I think Russell is the second Curry, I think even Lakers fans dare not think about it.

It is too difficult to come up with a second star like Curry.

Russell dribbled over, and Nick Young came here to catch the ball.

Yang Shaoxia is very similar in some aspects. In terms of scoring ability alone, he averaged 17.9 points per game while playing as a substitute in most of the time in 2013-14. But his problem is that if he plays as a starter, his stability is not very good, he is a game of gods and ghosts, and it is a ball-right black hole. When the ball comes to his hands, he will not be able to get out for a while.

In addition to offense, he is not stable enough on the defensive end, his defense is emotional and sometimes he is easily distracted.

After JR arrived at the Cavaliers, although there were still problems with one another, as a shooter, he performed well and had become one of the guards with swords.

If we talk about the requirements of the shooter, Young Master Yang is not as good as JR.

Young Shaoxia received a pass from Russell, faced Xie Kai, held the ball around the cover, and made a jump shot with a backward jump shot - it was short!

Duck eggs took the rebound and left it to Westbrook to advance.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and distributed the duck eggs to the basket.

Duck egg didn't hit the hook, and Mozgov grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Russell dribbled over and used a single block cover to shoot directly with a three-point shot - a slam shot directly from behind the rebound.

Ma Jian sighed: "This ball is really unreasonable. This ball should be shot when it feels hot. Now that the game is just beginning, as the team's brain point guard, it is irresponsible to take such a casual move."

Lakers coach Byron Scott was expressionless on the sidelines, as if he had nothing to do with him. He was extremely powerful when he was a player. Even as a coach, he led the Nets to the finals and proved himself.

However, in today's small ball era, the old-school coach Byron Scott, who has always emphasized the need to be tough, has not led the team to perform well. Instead, he has a deep attainment in playing badly and pleasing the team's superstars.

Whether the Lakers' record is good or not has little pressure on him. Anyway, Bus Jr. trusts him, and the team's current goal is not to win, but to practice new players.

If Xie Kai could come this summer, the team's season goals might change. Now with this group of people as the core, he wants to make the playoffs in the West, even if he doesn't sleep at night and studies game videos day and night, it will be useless.

The Thunder attacked, Paul George single-player Ruhr Deng, but he was unable to pass the opponent, and was blown to the basket and was elbow-raising, and an offensive foul!

Wang Zixing said: "It's really not easy to eat Deng one-on-one by pickled pepper!"

Ma Jian explained: "Deng is also a tall and powerful striker. George is not much faster than him. If he eats hard, he will not have an advantage in his body. I think it is unwise for him to play like this. He should do more activities on the off-ball side and use his positioning and jump shots to attack. If he wants to force Deng to fight physically, it is difficult to do without such confrontation as James."

The Lakers attacked, Randall used his body to rush to the basket, causing Duck Egg's foul and would go to the free throw line.

Randall was the No. 7 pick in the first round in 2014. He was a strong black man like a rhino. His impact was unquestionable. Sometimes he was too hard and always wanted to be one-stop in the backcourt.

Last season, he averaged 11.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, which is the team's focus of training.

Judging from the data, Randle seems to be a rebounding beast and a crafty genius. But everyone who watches the game knows that his defense actually has a big problem. As an inside player, he averages only 0.36 blocks per game, which is less than many guards. He likes one-stop on the offensive end, and does not like to do dirty and tiring work on the defensive end. This is something that has been criticized.

Randle stood on the free throw line, making one of two free throws, and the Lakers scored first.

The game started with more than 3 minutes, and the Thunder felt bad. They only relied on Ilyasova to make a layup at the basket, and no other sports goal was scored. The three giants made 0 of 5 shots in total, and their performance of constipation on the offensive end was still continuing.

Although the Lakers play as they please, they are not under pressure, so their shooting percentage is OK, so they are ahead of the score.
Chapter completed!
