At the end of the half, the two teams scored 52:50, and the Lakers were two points behind.

In the locker room, the Zen master made defensive arrangements for the internal and external connections between Mageti and Ji Guoqiu, emphasizing that when Mageti breaks through and passes, defensive players should take the opportunity to intercept the ball, especially the passes to the outside.

Ji Guomeng relied on Mageti to pass the ball several times, scored 15 points in the half, made 5 of 9 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws.

"I felt very comfortable to catch those passes." Ji Guomeng said to Mageti in the locker room.

"I will pass the ball to you if you can shoot in." Mageti said bluntly. After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. The previous disagreement disappeared.

"I teach him his pass, but when it comes to passing, Knight is the best passer for our team." Kassel handed over two cups of Gatorade and interrupted.

Brevin Knight waved his hand quickly. This was an honest man, introverted. He smiled and pointed at Ji Guochou: "I think the pass of the twins 'brother' is no worse than mine. Big guys are more suitable for passing the ball."

In the Clippers' locker room, it seems that the team atmosphere is not bad. Old Dunleavy is very satisfied with this, but looking around these players, some people still have to trade and leave. If a team wants to rebuild, there cannot be any obstacles. This is what the managers and coaches of the 30 teams in the league understand deeply. You cannot be emotional at this time, and those who want to leave must leave.

"The preseason is a test for two little guys. I hope you can show the potential to make the team decide to trade." Old Dunleavy thought in his heart.

In the second half, the Zen master started with Laoyu. Famal's performance in the first half did not satisfy the Zen master. This second-year rookie's understanding of the triangle offense is still far from that.

As soon as Lao Yu came on the court, Kassel immediately felt much more relaxed.

In the first half, the young Famal was extremely difficult to deal with. Now that it was replaced by the slow-moving old fish, the 38-year-old Cassel suddenly felt relaxed. After the game, he used Ji Guoqiu's pick-and-roll and suddenly used a cold arrow from the middle distance to take the lead.

Kassel was not very athletic when he was young, relying on the unexpected breakthrough rhythm and shooting timing. The Lakers players did not expect that he would suddenly stop shooting and failed to defend. After reacting, the basketball was already in the frame.

But this is just a sneak attack after all. The 38-year-old Kassel can succeed once or twice in one game. The decision of the outcome depends on how many young players will decide.

The Lakers' first offense was broken through with Kobe with the ball. Old Cat Mobley followed closely. Pansy stopped under his crotch and flashed a free kick. Then he used a difficult half-turn to shoot and scored two points.

Mobley was the same as Kassel today. He didn't play for a long time in the first half and only scored 5 points. He was also powerless to deal with Kobe in defense.

The Clippers turned their heads to attack. Ji Guochou held the ball at the free throw line this time, and Mobley ran out of the space at the baseline and got an open chance at the left corner. Ji Guochou immediately passed the basketball to Mobley, and Laomao made his second three-pointer today.

Although Mobley is 33 years old, he is in good shape. The coach does not use him more in the preseason, hoping that he can have enough energy to contribute more to the team in the regular season.

Mageti had no chance to break through at the beginning of the second half. The Lakers strengthened their defensive arrangements against him and set up a pinch-off tactic in the direction of his breakthrough. Once Mageti broke through, he would face a small-scale double-team.

Facing targeted defense, Mageti only took the ball to the inside for the first time after three minutes in the second half.

The Lakers were prepared for a long time and adopted high-pressure defense in the interior in the second half. As long as the Clippers held the player to break through to the near three-second zone, they immediately formed a siege formation, playing more and forcing the opponent to pass the ball.

Mageti was double-teamed by three people in an instant and jumped up to pass the ball immediately, but the basketball was snatched by the Lakers player who had been prepared.

Odom and Kobe immediately responded to counterattack after their teammates intercepted the ball. Fortunately, all the Lakers were unable to run fast except for these two people. The Lakers did not make a counterattack this time, and they ended up in the positional battle.

Kobe's shooting feels great today. The Lakers' triangular offense did not make it. Kobe finally formed a pair of N-strong plays, and he used his turn jump shot to easily score two points in the wing position.

Teams with the best tactical execution ability in the NBA cannot guarantee that every tactic can be played. At this time, the role of a superstar single is reflected. In short, you have to score a goal with a single match. In every game, both teams will have a lot of singles opportunities. If there are stars like Kobe in the team, they will definitely seize more opportunities, and the team will naturally be more likely to win.

Besides, the boss is not just a single player, but it is common for one player to play two players. If the boss is really given a vacant position, he may not be able to make an investment.

In the third quarter, the defense intensity of the two teams has improved, which is close to the intensity of the regular season.

Ji Guomeng ran back and forth on the outside, and Turiav followed him like a candy. The first defensive goal was to prevent Ji Guomeng from receiving the ball.

"I don't believe it. Are you faster and more flexible than me?" Ji Guomeng became more aggressive. He ran to the bottom line and suddenly stopped suddenly. Then he accelerated and ran to the outside line. He used his speed and agility to temporarily get rid of Turiyaf and ran out of a gap.

Mageti was holding the ball, not that he didn't want to pass, but he couldn't see it. This fleeting opportunity was wasted, and Turiav quickly caught up and formed a close-fitting defense. This offense eventually turned into Mageti forcibly breaking through, besieged by many Lakers at the basket, and the basketball was blocked by the little Sharks. This was Bynum's first block today.

Old Dunleavy was very dissatisfied and shouted at Mageti: "Cory, be careful about the gap between teammates and don't stick that damn ball to your hands."

After hearing this, Mageti was also very dissatisfied with his coach. The two of them had been a little inconsistent since last season. This year, not only did this situation not improve, but it tended to intensify.

Old Dunleavy's scolding is useless. Some players just can't pass the ball, which is limited by their ability. Mageti's pass can only be done in the first half. When he is surrounded and there is no way to throw the ball at his outside teammates... As for whether it can be passed? Then it's up to fate. As long as such a pass is arranged in advance and the defense side pays a little attention, it is easy to form a steal.

"The two big men haven't scored for a long time, especially the one on the outside. His situation is that he can't get a basketball. In addition to Turiaf's close interference with him, the Lakers also intentionally interfered with other Clippers' players passing the ball to him." Barkley noticed this in the live broadcast room. Ji Guomori ran out of opportunities several times on the outside, but the basketball couldn't reach his hands. Turiyaf was very strong in defending him. The opportunity was fleeting, and he had no points in half a quarter.

"This is the flaw of the outside shooters. They are single-skilled and can easily be limited. It would be much better if there are players among their teammates who are good at breaking through and passing the ball." Kenny Smith said.

"It is better to begging for yourself than asking others. If you have the ability to carry the ball, you don't have to stand outside and wait for your teammates to pass the ball. You can only be lethal if you get close to the basket." Buckley didn't know if he was thinking of his style back then. As he spoke, his butt moved specifically, and he was very worthy of a beating.

"After Brand was injured, this team had the problem of lack of firepower in low positions, and they could only rely on Carman to do some inefficient singles," Kenny Smith added.

Old Dunleavy called a timeout, and he also knew the team's shortcomings, no low-post lethality, and the paint area's attack ability is also poor. The opponent's defense line can shrink as much as you want, and expand as you want. The two brothers' low-post skills are currently not as good as Karman, and he cannot help the team fill this shortcoming for the time being.

After the Clippers re-appeared, they replaced Mageti with defensive player James Percy. In addition to defense, Percy can also contribute accurate three-pointers and a certain ball-holding attack. He is a very useful player. He also has experience in championships. In 2006, he won the championship with the Heat and made great contributions.

Cassel and Mobri were also replaced, with Brevin Knight and Chris Caman taking the place.

Mageti was very dissatisfied with his substitution. He believed that now Brand was injured, he should be the boss of the team. However, Dunleavy, the old man, did not look like the boss of the team, whether he arranged the tactics or used him. However, Dunleavy has been coaching in the Clippers for five years and has accumulated a lot of power. Even if Mageti is dissatisfied, he dared not express it directly.

After the Clippers re-appeared, the lineup on the field immediately made the fans of both sides confused. Kaman was right to play, but neither Ji Guoqiu nor Ji Guohuo were replaced. Three inside players gathered on the field. What tricks did Old Dunleavy play? He has heard of the Double Tower, but no one has ever heard of the Three Towers?

The Zen master had an expression throughout the game, and at this moment he also showed an interest. He couldn't help but look at Old Dunleavy.

Old Dengleavy had no choice. The team lacked offensive ability at low posts, so he simply lowered the positions of the two brothers by one, allowing Ji Guoqiu to play the fourth position and Ji Guomiang to play the third position.

Ji Guomomoto thinks it is very new. He rarely plays in the third position. His height is 216cm. Even if it is really 211cm, that's tall enough. It seems that there is not a third-rank star in NBA history?
