Chapter 1183 [The first in the strength list, who is too good]

Fans who had high expectations for the Clippers were disappointed in the preseason. The Clippers were beaten by the Lakers and lost 82 to 125 to 43 points.

The Lakers' offense is unstoppable. At the beginning, Guo Xu held the ball and played pick-and-roll with Adams. Paul was slow to catch up and defend. Guo Xu would easily pass the Clippers' newly dug center Mozgov.

Mozgov's lateral movement speed is slow and he cannot defend against pick-and-roll, and cannot keep up with Guo Xu's rhythm. He is also 216cm tall, and his mobility is not as good as Lakers' young player Zubac. Guo Xu attracts Adams, who can switch defenses and cuts in the middle, and the latter has a clear advantage in receiving the ball into the penalty area.

The Clippers let Griffin defend against pick-and-roll, and go out to replace Guo Xu. Guo Xu will also give him a chance to pass the ball to the wing. Horford gave Booker no cover, and Booker made the Clippers players not have the bottom line or wing running.

Mozgov still has to switch defenses to interfere with the shooting. He stayed near the penalty area and Horford could pull out and make three-pointers directly. Clippers point guard Austin Rivers is only 193cm tall, and Booker's direct ball attack is enough for him.

The Lakers can defend their title without Durant. When Guo Xu attacked, he watched the fun while watching the game, and the Lakers still suppressed the "Big Three" Clippers.

Durant's turn to play singles in the second quarter, and Clippers small forward Roll Deng could not defend himself. The height difference between the two was not big, and Roll Deng could interfere with the shooting, but Durant's back and face-frame attack was tortured and undiscussed.

Even at his peak, Roll Deng is not a giant. He is just a second-rate star. Being selected as an All-Star twice is the limit. He is only 31 years old this year. The Clippers management believes that he will have a few years of his peak, but it is a fantasy to expect him to handle Durant.

The Clippers lost 43 points because the Lakers were resting in the final quarter, and veterans like Wade were not on the way, training new players.

Both sides were on the marginal man and the Clippers also lost 5 points. The Lakers' double guards Terry and Felton can take the ball and attack. The Clippers' marginal substitutes are both bad offense and defense. It can be seen that veteran Pierce can still get a basic salary contract.

The enthusiasm of Clippers fans was extinguished at once. If the Lakers played for a while, the Clippers would have to lose 58 points at least.

If Chris Paul plays an ordinary strong team, the score will be very stable in a stalemate. He will slowly land on the position and rarely make mistakes with his opponents. When encountering Lakers Paul's playing style makes fans anxious for him. Guo Xu scored continuously by playing against the whirlwind, and he will be behind the score without any rush or impatience.

Guo Xu was lazy in the warm-up match and did not defend seriously. Paul still rarely launched fast attacks. He was not a fast attack guard, but joined the Rockets in the parallel world. The coach was D'Antoni, and he still mainly attacked the position.

The Clippers' lineup is not suitable for launching fast attacks. Only Paul, Griffin and Rivers are relatively fast. Others are either veterans or positional offensive players. Rollden's physical fitness restricts his upper limit, and Jamal Crawford is old.

The Lakers also won easily in the next six preseason games, without any complicated tactical routines, and the stars could not defend themselves against their single opponents. Guo Xu was responsible for launching a counterattack. The team was always far ahead in three quarters, and no team could stand stalemate with them until the fourth quarter.

The Warriors Lakers also easily won 30 points, and the battle ended in three quarters.

After Brooke Lopez joined the Nets, Rudy Gobert steadily occupied the center position. He could only defend and could not pass Adams' level.

The Lakers are attacked by Durant with the ball, Guo Xu plays without the ball, and Gobert's strong strength in the defense and the penalty area cannot be used. The Lakers' two core players do not enter the penalty area and just shoot outside. Gobert's defense is too reliant on the outside and will be passed by Guo Xu.

It is worth mentioning that the Warriors signed center Zha Zha Pachulia this year to make up for the vacancy of Lopez's departure. Pachulia's movement speed is not as fast as Gobert, and it is estimated that she still has to rely on the foot to defend the pick-and-roll in the playoffs.

Guo Xu is not afraid of this trick. He takes action very quickly, and he is very skilled in jump shots and shooting skills. He takes action to avoid defense by relying on fast, not Leonard's type of jump height and height and wingspan. Durant is careful in the playoffs, and he is a type that is prone to footsteps.

The official strength list of the first issue of the NBA was announced, with the Lakers ranked first, the Warriors second, followed by the Spurs and the Raptors.

The Nets only ranked 10th in the first-item strength list, with a preseason record of 3 wins and 4 losses.

After leaving three, the Nets' strength has dropped significantly, and their attack power is not bad, but they cannot be defended. Lopez and the Spark Happy Beast are not the same center. He has poor mobility and does not have a large defense range, and his ability to compete for rebounds is not strong.

If there are teammates in the team who are good at rebounding, there is no problem with Lopez being in charge of the man, but the Nets' rebounding mainly depends on James, which is not good. The Nets' newly signed short power forward Trevor Booker also has a good rebounding, and he hardly shoots on the offensive end and cannot open up space like David West.

The Nets' poor record is related to James's pre-season effort. The team in the new season is mainly led by him, and he cannot do his best when warming up. In fact, James is ready to play health basketball throughout the regular season and fight again after entering the playoffs.

The most surprising thing is that the 76ers ranked eighth in the strength list, with 6 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, and the only loss to the Raptors. If they hadn't been at the bottom of the league last season, the strength list of such results would have been higher.

As soon as Kobe left, Kemba Walker showed his star style. He is no longer a useless point guard who passed the ball in half after being stared at by death, but is a core outside offense and proficient in all sudden and point shots.

Millsap, Garlinari and Russell can all open the space to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers. Walker and Jokic in the middle are the pick-and-roll attacks.

Walker was able to break through in dislocation, attracting defense and post-passing. Jokic was able to catch the ball and shoot from a long distance, and could also support the attack like Horford, protect the basketball with his wide body, and find teammates who run.

When the opponent's swinger is not tall, Garlinari can also play singles with the ball, just like the weakened version of Durant. Russell mainly plays without the ball, relying on the off-ball cover to catch the ball and take action. Occasionally, he and Millsap can also play singles with one.

Gary Harris, Jaylen Brown, Joe Ingles and Nene of the 76ers guaranteed the offensive firepower of the rotation lineup, and Spanish defender Sergio Rodriguez was responsible for the organization.

Rodriguez left the NBA in 2010, and this year the 76ers signed him to strengthen the No. 1 position. In addition, Russell can also play point guard, and the overall strength of the 76ers on the outside is quite good.

In addition to centers, most of the substitutes of the 76ers have a shooting range, especially Ingles' preseason three-point shooting percentage reached 45.8%, making him the team's number one shooter. He has not performed much since the Jazz was traded, and he will definitely get a chance to play in the new season.

The obvious weakness of the 76ers is that the number 4 lacks a good substitute, and Millsap's ability to fight after leaving the court is not good. The league has entered the small ball era, and this shortcoming has also been weakened. Gallinari can play the game as a guest player at the No. 4 to play small ball tactics.

The 76ers' wing strength is too strong now, and he can rank among the top few in the league. Jaylen Brown, the Tanhua Show, can only play as a substitute, and Will Barton, who has been exchanged for the Nuggets, is a marginalist. Although Barton is only a second-round rookie in 2012, he has made significant progress in the past two years, and can break through and shoot, but his performance is unstable.

After Brad Stevens became the head coach, he set up a swinging formation, with full firepower and blooming at multiple points.
