At the end of the first half, 60 to 56, the Clippers led by 4 points.

Players from both sides return to the locker room to rest.

In the Clippers locker room, everyone was chatting happily.

They didn't expect that they could play like this with the five-star Lakers. They were very surprised and pleasantly surprised.

In the Lakers locker room, Fisher felt that familiar smell again.

Everyone said little, their eyes glancing at Kobe and Tracy McGrady from time to time.

The team's biggest problem now is McGrady, whose defense is poor and offensive efficiency is still low.

The offensive efficiency of Farmar and Fisher was not very good, but they made few shots. The two of them only made 3 shots combined, which had little impact on the team.

Not only is Tracy McGrady inefficient, he also shoots too much, which creates a big problem.

Most people's positions are smaller than Tracy McGrady's, and it's not easy to teach Tracy McGrady how to do things.

Kobe, the only qualified man, was closing his eyes and concentrating, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, Artest, the idiot, spoke up.

"Tracy, I'll switch defenses with you later. You should be more reasonable on the offensive end..."

Artest said.

"You want me to guard the power forward?"

Maddie sneered.

These words left Artest speechless. He found that McGrady seemed to have a loophole no matter where he went.

"You should come on the bench."

Artest said.

"Fakeyu."

Maddie said.

"Stop, stop, stop, this is a matter for the coaching staff, we don't need to discuss it."

Fisher quickly tried to smooth things over. Neither of them had a good temper. Fisher had no doubt that the two of them could fight in the locker room.

Later, the conflict temporarily subsided.

But Fisher, Odom and others all felt uneasy, and conflicts broke out in the first game of the new season. Can this lineup really win the championship?

After the halftime break, the two sides returned to the field.

When the Lakers attacked, Fisher made a triangle attack gesture. As a result, Artest ran the wrong route when running, failing to create the desired dislocation effect.

Finally the ball went to Kobe, who made a fadeaway jumper and scored.

The Clippers counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan assisted Maggette and got his eighth assist.

After switching offense and defense, the Lakers still wanted to play the triangle offense, but the result was Artest's bankruptcy.

Kobe Bryant's fadeaway jumper missed.

The Lakers assistant coach was very angry, and Artest was also very angry.

In his opinion, the Lakers' lineup is obviously better than that of the Clippers. Why not just attack one by one and use the players' matchup advantages to score, instead of engaging in this inexplicable triangle offense.

The Lakers won the championship last season not by relying on the triangle offense.

Back on the defensive end, Artest saw Zhang Zhiyuan holding the ball, so he took the initiative to run over and double-team Kobe.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhiyuan will choose to pass the ball, and the rest of the Lakers are already wary of this.

However, Zhang Zhiyuan also played very unreasonably sometimes.

Facing two top perimeter defenders, Zhang Zhiyuan jumped up and took a shot.

He also used some fadeaways, but Kobe didn't cover them.

However, Kobe was very sure that he interfered with Zhang Zhiyuan's shot. This was a successful defense.

The ball goes in.

65 to 58.

Kobe gritted his teeth, helplessness and jealousy welling up in his heart.

He also wants this kind of unreasonable shots and efficient scoring efficiency.

"If Kobe's fadeaway jumper is picturesque, then Zhang Zhiyuan's shot against double teams is that picture."

Zhang Lili sighed with emotion.

The Lakers attacked, Madigan pulled out his hand and scored.

Although he had made many shots before, he didn't think he was that strong, and he still shot resolutely.

In fact, it is normal for him to have this idea. After all, when he was with the Magic, he had a shooting percentage of 40%. Last season, his shooting percentage was 37.8%, which was only 2 percentage points behind.

2 points, it took 100 shots to miss just two points. In one or two games, it is really hard to tell.

But he overlooked one thing. When he was with the Magic, he averaged 8-9 free throws per game to make up for it, so his efficiency didn't seem particularly low.

And his current number of free throws has dropped to less than 4, so his efficiency is appalling.

Seeing McGrady shooting, Lakers fans couldn't help but feel nervous.

Fortunately, this shot was a hit.

In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan hit a three-pointer.

"There was no double-team but he missed, so why did Artest double-team just now?"

Buckley laughed.

"This... don't tell me. Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting percentage is indeed not low when facing double teams, but he doesn't shoot as many shots as we imagined when facing double teams. It's as if he can

It’s like feeling when to take a shot and when to pass the ball.”

Smith couldn't help but express some of his feelings.

Zhang Zhiyuan sometimes chooses to take shots when the difficulty is higher, and sometimes passes the ball when the opportunities are better. There is no pattern to his shots.

But once you look at the statistics, you will find that Zhang Zhiyuan's efficiency is very high.

That's why Smith felt this way.

"This may also be a hidden talent. Some people are born to eat this kind of rice."

Buckley said.

On the court, the Clippers have established a 9-point advantage.

This advantage is already considerable. Unless the Lakers break out or the Clippers make consecutive mistakes in qualifying, it will not be easy to overtake.

With Zhang Zhiyuan here, it is difficult for the Clippers to make any serious mistakes.

Therefore, the Lakers can only hope that the people on the team will break out.

To break out, you must first have a chance to take action.

After the team fell behind, Kobe took more shots.

But unfortunately, his touch did not explode.

McGrady also wanted to try to save the team, but Fisher didn't pass to him, but passed to Gasol.

Gasol's scoring at the basket is fairly stable, but that's about it.

With his two-point and two-point chisel, it would be difficult to catch up with these 9 points.

Artest is strong in defense and weak in attack, so there is no need to count on him.

Odom's playing time has been reduced.

The Lakers seem to have a luxurious lineup, but no one can stand up at critical moments.

Therefore, they were unable to catch up, and the two teams maintained this point difference through the third quarter.

"It seems that the Lakers still need to adjust. Their lineup is definitely luxurious enough. As long as Phil Jackson finds the optimal formation, they will be a championship contender. One game can't explain much."

The commentator of the local Los Angeles station said this, and some of the more patient Lakers fans accepted this statement.

In the last quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan took a two-minute rest.

Maggette led the team for two minutes and lost by 3 points. It was not a big problem.

Then Zhang Zhiyuan returned to the court and the Clippers attacked.

El Thornton helped with the pick-and-roll, Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and was double-teamed, and then he passed the ball to Thornton who followed.

Kaman faced Gasol, Thornton made a smooth layup and scored. Zhang Zhiyuan got another assist, making it 12.

In the next round, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly hit a super long three-pointer.

The ball goes in.

"Zhang like this is invincible and unsolvable. Those experts who think the Clippers can't make the playoffs can just go to sleep. They don't understand Zhang's horror at all."
