Build a Dream Dynasty

In terms of the Nets, Livingston is not the only one who has a problem with the Lakers. Fernandez was fouled by Ariza back then. Ariza was wearing a Lakers jersey at that time, even though the Lakers had his national team friend Paul Gaso. Well, Fernandez is still passionate, determined to fight the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, the Nets took the lead in taking the initiative in the game. Grasping the Lakers' slow heat, the Nets' three outside players Bledsoe, Fernandez, and George frequently seized the opportunity to break into the basket and score.

Needless to say, how miserable the old Fisher is against a speedy guard. Kobe, who still entered the first defense last season, is actually controversial. The data proves that in the 10-11 season, Kobe's defensive efficiency has dropped to the middle of the guard line. level. Moreover, unlike what Comey said, Kobe put the main energy on offense, because on the offensive end, the Lakers did not rely on him as much as in previous years. It is impossible to maintain a brilliant performance on both ends of the offense and defense for a season. As for Artest, he has become more and more angry over the past few years, and the intimidation on the field has already explained the problem. Artest used to be strong, but now, bloated is more suitable for him.

The performance of the Lakers this season is not as expected. Although they are still ranked third in the West, they have been opened up by the top two Spurs and the Thunder. Rigid employment is also a problem. Mike Brown is good at using a superstar like James, so give him another superstar. Then, Brown really dared to use Kobe, who is nearly 34 years old, as a 27-year-old James. One consequence of this is that although Kobe can guarantee output with his outstanding ability, his efficiency is also greatly affected.

However, in this game, Brown's adjustments were quite timely. In the case of a bad start, he did not superstitiously believe that Kobe could lead the team to turn the situation around. Instead, he adjusted the focus of the attack to the inside in time, and Gasol took over the task of the main attack. .

Gasol with comprehensive skills is good at dealing with Boozer. West's physical fitness is not the best, and the stocky insider who is also skilled is very good. In the past matchups, West was able to fight against the wind, largely because of the league's top point guard Paul who fed the ball. In the Nets, although point guard Bledsoe worked hard, His ability to do this job is really only average. Therefore, West is gradually at a disadvantage in the duel with Gasol.

It was a championship team two years ago, and now the team still bears the league's highest salary and the highest luxury tax. If it is serious, the Lakers are still very capable. About 8 minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers led by 5 points, the two sides began to withdraw the main force, and the rotation players appeared one after another.

Compared with the main lineup, the Lakers' bench lineup has dropped sharply after Odom and Shannon Brown left. Backup point guard Blake used to be the starting point guard of the Trail Blazers and an outstanding floor point guard in the league, but after coming to the Lakers, he was pressed on the bench, and his shooting and organizational advantages were covered up. disadvantages are further amplified. The two point guards of the Lakers are both solid technology point guards who are good at open shooting types, and their skills are relatively similar. Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin, who the Nets rely heavily on, are both good at playing this kind of point guard. As soon as he debuted, Jeremy Lin used a sharp breakthrough to tear the Lakers' defense from Blake, helping Wright to complete a dunk in the penalty area. Afterwards, Livingston seized the opportunity to grab Goodlock and steal the ball and successfully scored 2+1. After a face-to-face encounter, the Nets evened the point difference.

The significance of Livingston's comeback to the Nets is definitely more than a high point of an outside post-up singles. His control of the rhythm and insight into problems on the court are the best among the Nets' three point guards. Being able to play three positions also strengthens the variety and extension of the Nets' rotation. Against the Lakers, Stevens used him to partner with Jeremy Lin and Korver to take advantage of the lack of scoring ability of the Lakers' backup lineup and the lack of offensive threat, which in turn enhanced his offensive strength.

"The offense of the Lakers is still inseparable from Kobe. If you look at Kobe, the offense will be completely messed up." During the Chinese New Year, the CCTV sports channel also broadcast the game, and the commentator was naturally the well-known hard-core Kobe Fans, Zhang Lili, regardless of whether the crux of the problem lies with Kobe, anyway, the importance of Kobe should be highlighted in reverse.

Of course, if Kobe can play for 48 minutes with full energy, he will naturally be able to solve all problems, but is this possible? The problem with the Lakers is definitely not with Kobe.

In the last minute of the first quarter, Brown replaced Gasol and Bynum to stabilize the situation, because in just two minutes, it turned out that the Lakers' rotation really couldn't beat the Nets.

Although there is no super sixth man like Harden, there are 30 teams in the league this season. Compared with the endurance of the bench lineup, the Nets rank second, second only to the Spurs. The Spurs won the draft because Taobao selected Butler and Parsons, re-arranged Ginobili to the bench position, and revitalized the team's offense, while the Nets won the overall strength of the bench. Jeremy Lin, Ke Wall, Anderson, and even Livingston, who has just returned, can change the game by relying on their own performance in a certain game.

Odom's sudden departure ruined himself, and at the same time disrupted the regular lineup rotation of the Lakers. For the Lakers with an aging lineup, it can be said that it will affect the whole body. Just two minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Kobe in advance to improve the team's offense. After his debut, the Black Mamba scored 8 points in a row on 4 of 6 shots, leading the Lakers to catch up with the score. However, Facing the Nets with a well-organized lineup, the continuous singles play consumes Kobe's physical strength that is difficult to save in the high-density schedule of the shrinking season. On the defensive end, it was also a bit messy, and there was even a scene of standing still and directing traffic.

Although in the concept of fans, Kobe and James are the top 2 superstars in the league, Durant won the scoring title, Rose won the MVP, and Howard's three consecutive DPOYs can't shake the situation of the duo hegemony, but in the eyes of industry insiders , the fact is really not the case. The same can be said in terms of commercial value, but the value in the arena, Kobe's decline and decline is inevitable.

Stevens extended Anderson's playing time, using his threat outside the three-point line to contain Gasol on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, he solved the double-teaming of the Lakers' two insiders, Gasol and Kobe. Although the ability to distribute the ball is very strong, the Nets left the last point in the rotation to Artest, betting that the Beast will not make a three-pointer in the open space. And Artest also lived up to expectations and made one of three shots, which gave him enough face.

At halftime, the Nets led by 8 points 57:49.
