After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 332 I will support whoever does the Lakers

"Pau Gasol made 6 of 1 shots in the first half and only scored 3 points. The key point was that he only made 4 of 2 free throws, and there were 3 fouls and [-] turnovers. This performance will probably disappoint many Lakers fans. , and it is indeed something that should not be done.”

After all, as an All-Star player, he is now regarded as the serious number two of this Lakers team. How can a team win if the second leader of a team plays like this?

If he hadn't snatched two frontcourt boards somehow, his halfcourt would have been useless.

Of course, among the players on the Lakers side, apart from Kobe and Vujacic, they didn't play very well in this half.

Kobe made 11 of 6, 7 of 5 free throws, 17 points and 4 rebounds. This time he may get 30+ again, which is enough.

The biggest surprise for the Lakers was Vujacic who broke out suddenly. He scored 12 points in the half. Still have to widen the gap.

For the Magic, the three insiders Li Chengming, Howard and Lewis played well. Turkoglu felt average today, scoring only 7 points in 2 of 6.

Director Zhang laughed at halftime: "The Magic should be able to win this game if they keep going. Now it depends on whether the Lakers can respond in the second half."

Dayao said: "Actually, for the entire first half, both teams did a good job on the defensive end. What the Magic missed was Vujacic and Kobe's personal ability to score goals; while the Lakers missed , and the inside line is really unstoppable, Gasol played very depressed today."

"I don't think it's surprising that the Lakers came from behind to win the Western Conference in the regular season, and now they have reached the finals. Gasol's ability and role are underestimated, but he is only one person after all.

"And he's best played at the [-]th position, because if he plays the [-]th position, the Lakers don't have an inside line that can complement his defense. Odom's physical talent is good, and he has a strong ability to switch defenses, but he pays attention It is easy to lose concentration, and Li Chengming is on the opposite side.

"Radmanovich is strong offensively and weak defensively, and sometimes Gasol has to wipe his ass. And the substitutes Turiaf and Walton also have their own problems. I think the Lakers lineup is in the interior. There is a problem, and it is an old problem similar to that of Lukai.

"If these two teams meet, it will be a real fight, and I think the Lakers still can't beat it, because the defense of the Green Kai is stronger. And the Magic's inside offense should also be the strongest combination in the NBA. The Lakers can't stop it. It's normal.

"They want to win. I think it's better to bet more on the outside. If you use three-pointers to attack, if you shoot accurately, it will make it easier to play inside. The most important thing is to liberate Gasol..."

After the start of the second half, the Lakers really did the same.

In fact, in the triangle offensive tactics, the three-point shooting point has always been very important. It is necessary to open up space to create opportunities for singles, and the area for singles players is mostly in the low post, near the free throw line, and of course the space beyond the three-point line. Pulling works best.

Throughout Jackson’s dynasties with the Bulls and the Lakers, there are many situations where he made three-pointers. Ricole’s lore three-pointer in the Bulls’ dynasty, Rihory and Fisher in the Lakers’ dynasty both had key three-pointer performances.

The Lakers didn't take many three-pointers today, but their shooting percentage was impressive.

Of course, it is mainly concentrated on Vujacic's side.

However, the Magic still has certain problems in defending the outside three-pointer. Sometimes the pursuit and defense are not timely enough, and they will give open three-pointers.

This can be regarded as a targeted attack on their weakness, and the rest depends on whether the Lakers themselves can seize the opportunity.

However, except for Vujacic and Fisher, the Lakers' three-point performance was mediocre today. They tried to shoot one and missed, but Kobe himself made two shots and hit one.

From a tactical point of view, the Lakers' betting on the perimeter has obviously failed.

But if you look at it from a strategic point of view, this involves the Magic's defense. When the pressure is too high and even Howard starts to swim towards the free throw line, there are more opportunities to get out of the line.

The coping abilities of Odom and Gasol were just able to be brought into play at this time. Before Li Chengming came on the court in the third quarter, the Lakers once caught up with only 3 points.

The magic's shooting rate has dropped, which is the biggest reason for giving the opponent a chance.

However, after Li Chengming came on the court, he partnered with Howard on the inside, and the offensive and defensive combination of the two was enough for the Lakers to eat a pot.

Li Chengming came well prepared, and it happened that the opponent's impression of him was still in the first two games, and he felt that his defense could still be targeted.

But he didn't expect to send Li Chengming another steal and block data, and Dayao was also keenly aware that Li Chengming's defense at this time seemed a little different from before.

After all, he also played Li Chengming in the regular season. If it was one-on-one, Li Chengming would have nothing to do with him.

Because he is too tall, has accurate shots, and has a solid base and solid strength. If Li Chengming wants to hold him, he has to face the normal situation when other opponents defend him.

The only difference is that Li Chengming uses his strength more, while Dayao can completely use his height to open up the distance, and the shooting point is naturally difficult for people to interfere.

From an off-court angle, the onlookers could see clearly, and he felt that if he came to fight Li Chengming again now, he might also encounter some troubles.

However, at this time, Kobe tricked Li Chengming after a fake pick-and-roll was started suddenly, and he went inside and caused Howard's foul. This is already the fourth foul of Warcraft himself.

With 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, Van Gundy could only choose to take Howard down first.

But this time Kobe didn't pay the price. He collided with Howard in the air, maybe he wanted to score 2+1, twisted himself into a twist, but he didn't stand firmly when he fell, and almost twisted his ankle.

Then he lay on the ground for a while before recovering. It seems that the problem is not too big, but it also has an impact. This time, he missed two free throws. Director Zhang couldn't help being surprised and said: "Oh, it seems that this If the collision has an effect, then the attack is not as profitable as it seems."

Although I still support the Magic in general, but the commentary also has personal preferences. Of course, I still hope that Kobe will play better.

The best thing is that the Magic wins, Kobe plays well, and I just try my best.

Of course, taking Howard down will definitely have an impact on the Magic.

Kobe did not take a break in this quarter. After playing the last 2 minutes, without Howard, Van Gundy still wanted to drag Li Chengming to the fifth position for a top. It also shows that he feels really good defensively today.

But the Lakers used pick-and-roll substitutions to drag him out, and if Lewis was left inside, there would be no way to stop Kobe at all.

Kobe now is a bit less reckless and impactful than when he was young, but he is becoming more mature technically, which also makes him the biggest guarantee for the Lakers at critical times.

The Magic's inside defense seemed to be completely gone for these 2 minutes, and it became Kobe's back garden.

Dayao said at this time: "Looking at the current defensive situation of the Magic, this is Howard's greatest value. Today's famous defensive end has done well enough, almost completely restricting Gasol and Odom in the matchup, but basketball Not a one-man sport.

"So that's why the pick-and-roll has been a basic tactic since the beginning of the sport of basketball, and it's still used until now, because it can cause dislocation of advantages on the court."

Sun Zhengping added with a smile: "That's why, we usually say that this competition is actually about comparing each other's shortcomings. When your strength is about the same, your shortcomings may be fatal."

He also deliberately pulled Green Kai from the previous round to "whip the corpse" and said: "In terms of Green Kai's offense, Perkins is a blue-collar with limited means, and Rondo's shooting is too poor. He can be released directly from the perimeter.

"A large part of the reason why Lukai was 3:0 at the beginning was also due to this. Later, they slowly adjusted and fought back, but it was also a 'return to the light'..."

The Green Kai fans who were happy to see the "mortal enemy" Lakers going to be 2:1 rolled their eyes when they heard this: Don't ask, thank you.
