On November 7th, the Washington Wizards visited Los Angeles. The team's situation had taken a turn for the worse after the " gun incident." Now, they had become a small fish belly that the league bullied. The game statistics reflected this point. By the end of the half, the Los Angeles team was leading by 17 points.
However, this match was still very interesting. In the second quarter, when Yun Lie faced the Wizards 'Antoine Jamison, Shammgod once again knocked him to the ground.
After this match, no one questioned Yun Lie's title as the King of Ball Control. On the Internet, Yun Lie's popularity increased further, and several companies wanted Yun Lie to be their spokesperson.
On November 10th, the Yale Knights visited Los Angeles. The entire team of the Los Angeles Clippers attached great importance to this.
The Yale Knights were a strong team in the playoffs. This team was surrounded by Okur and Boozer, as well as Paul Millsap, Deron Williams, and other tough players. They had a great reputation in the Western Conference.
In China, this team was also the team that fans were most familiar with, other than the Rockets. In front of them, the Rockets always found it difficult to win. They were also eliminated by them many times in the playoffs.
As the Rockets 'biggest enemies in the Yao and McGrady era, Boozer and Okur were still difficult to deal with this season, although their condition had declined.
Although Boozer was short in the paint, he was extremely accurate in shooting from a distance. Okur, who formed the Gemini Towers with him, was even more powerful. He was one of the few centers in the league who used three-pointers as a regular scoring method. His field goal percentage was still quite high, reaching 46.7% this season. Moreover, Okur was 2.11 meters tall and muscular. His defensive deterrence under the basket was quite powerful.
Before the game, Bynum had told Yun Lie that he would rather fight the Celtics for seven more rounds than be surrounded by these two players.
Meanwhile, in the training center, Okur and Boozer were also very flustered. Yun Lie liked to play inside the lane through misplacement, and his movement speed was a form of torture for Okur and Boozer. Not only was he good at scoring in the penalty area, but he was also good at mid-range and long shots.
After a while, Coach Sloan came over to explain the tactics. "Andre, in the small forward position, you will be directly facing Yun Lie. Therefore, you have to limit him as much as possible. I don't ask you to score many points in this game, but you have to limit him as much as possible. If he broke through to the inside, he should not be in a hurry to foul. Boozer and Okur should be able to solve the problem. As for Okur and Boozer, you must be prepared to face Yun Lie at any time. If you meet him, don't give him a chance to break through. I've done my research. Yun Lie's three-point shots aren't outstanding at the moment. You just need to control the distance between you and him and interfere with his shooting.”
It had to be said that Sloan had been able to dominate the Alliance for many years. In just a few matches, Yun Lie's problem of not being good at three-pointers was already apparent. However, it was true that although Yun Lie had shot quite a few three-pointers in the previous game, if the Knight really did not shoot, then Yun Lie really could not do anything. After all, his current three-pointers and three-pointers were not considered high. He did not have that much say in the team and was not enough to suggest that Zen Master play a small ball lineup. In the current league, Yao and O'Neal could still play, and Howard was at his peak. If he said that he was playing with a small ball lineup now, he would undoubtedly be treated as an outlier.
The era of small ball swept the league, and it still needed to be further settled. When Curry's epoch-making shooters really developed and led a group of new stars to win the championship, the league would naturally be swept by the small ball lineup. At that time, the traditional center forward would completely decline.
The game was about to begin. The Los Angeles Clippers sent out the regular starting lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Yun Lie, Gasol, and Bynum.
Opposite them were the familiar Okur, Boozer, Kirilenko, Brewer, and Deron.
As soon as he came up, the Knights began to tighten their defense. Under the friction of Okur and Boozer, the two muscular men, Bynum finally wilted. He could not put the ball into the basket and shot a three-pointer. Kirilenko grabbed the rebound.
When it was the turn of the Knight's offense, Boozer kept Coach Sloan's arrangement in mind. He wanted to exhaust Yun Lie's stamina as much as possible on the offensive end. The key was to let it go. After the pick-and-roll with Deron Williams, Boozer went out to get the ball and shoot. At this moment, he realized that Yun Lie did not follow him to help defend against Delon.
Of course, Yun Lie didn't need it. Did he really think that the lakers 'paint was weak? After Deron Williams broke into the paint, Bynum held Okur tightly and did not give him a chance to receive. Pau Gasol moved up at the right time, forcing Deron to make a hasty move and not enter. Gasol grabbed the rebound and passed it to Yun Lie, who had already begun to accelerate.
After Yun Lie received the ball, he saw Boozer, who was following beside him. He took advantage of the situation and did a big backstroke. Then, he instantly accelerated, leaving Boozer with no choice but to eat Yun Lie's exhaust. After passing Boozer, there was no one defending inside. Yun Lie jumped from the free-throw line and dunked with his Tomahawk.
The Laker fans were all excited. They now loved to watch Yun Lie stand behind the big man and torture him.
Then, on the offensive end, Okur and Boozer saw that Yun Lie did not switch defense. They did not hesitate to use their signature skill, the great cooperation between the two killers of the utah team. In the paint, Okur and Boozer passed inside to assist Boozer in his mid-range shot.
Returning to his own defensive end, Kirilenko followed Sloan's arrangement and put Yun Lie one step away, preparing to interfere with Yun Lie's shooting. Seeing this, Yun Lie did not hesitate to use the Golden Rooster to attack from the three-point line.
Looking at the dumbfounded Kirilenko, Yun Lie chuckled. Kid, you didn't expect me to do this, did you? Let's see how you're going to block it.
Coach Sloan, who was on the substitutes 'bench, felt a headache coming on. In his analysis before the match, he did not see that Yun Lie could stand on his own feet. Sloan could only hope that Yun Lie's goal was a lucky one. If he really could stand on his own feet, then the arrangement of the outside perimeter of the Knight would be in pieces. After all, every time Knight met Nowitzki, he would complain endlessly. Nowitzki's unreasonable independence could make one doubt life. After shooting from the three-point line, go inside. After shooting from inside, go outside. You can't cover me anyway.
