Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

However, the Lakers also know very well that the Bulls' bench lineup is strong.

Therefore, in order to deal with this, Jackson arranged for Hinrich and Odom to lead the second team, and Kobe and Gasol to lead the starting lineup.

In the first quarter, Kobe was aroused by Duen's desire to attack and indulged in singles. Gasol lacked the ball and did not play a high role on the offensive end.

Zen Master also knew what was going on on the court, so he took Gasol in the middle of the first quarter, and waited until the last 3 minutes of the second quarter to put Gasol back on the court.

Under Zen Master's careful arrangements, Gasol also traveled at staggered times and performed to the level expected of an All-Star player.

The Lakers also relied on more inside scoring to offset Duan's efficient scoring during off-peak travel.

After the first quarter, 25 to 28, the Bulls were only leading by 3 points.

However, the ball for the first attack at the beginning of the second quarter was in the hands of the Bulls. At the same time, Duan continued to lead the second team.

As soon as he came up, Duan helped the Bulls widen the point difference to 5 points by breaking through the mid-range.

As a result, the Lakers will need at least two rounds to even out the point difference.

After Duen scored, the Lakers rushed to serve the baseline ball and tried to play fast break, in order to consume the physical strength of Duen and others.

Duan took the lead in returning to defense, and other Bulls substitute players were not slow in returning to defense. The Lakers could only continue to play positional warfare.

As a result, Hinrich continued to play pick-and-roll with Gasol, but the Bulls' forward attack came in time, and Hinrich was forced to pass the ball to Odom, who was stretched to the weak side.

Odom took the ball and attacked the basket, but Duan made a timely defense and blocked the ball.

Because the basketball didn't fly far, Duen took off again, took the ball out of the air, and then turned around and started a fast attack.

The Lakers players on the court could only immediately return to defense when they saw this.

Seeing that Duen was unable to stop him from making a fast break, Hinrich could only use a tactical foul to destroy Duen's goal.

Duan reacted quickly and attempted a three-pointer, causing a shooting foul.

However, tonight is the finals. This kind of sneaky little trick can still be used in the regular season, but it doesn't work very well now.

As a result, the Bulls served from the sideline again.

After Duan got the ball, Hinrich and Vujacic immediately stepped forward to attack.

It has to be said that Kobe's importance is reflected in this.

Even if the offense gets stronger and drags down the Lakers' offense, Kobe's defense is still very important to the Lakers.

Hinrich's outside defense is certainly very good, but as a small defender to guard against a big striker like Duan, it is just giving away food, completely giving away points!

Kobe is the only one on the Lakers who can keep up with the lateral movement and is not afraid of Duen's breakthrough. At the same time, he can use his wingspan and bounce to slightly restrict Duen's shooting.

But now, the Lakers are fielding a second team, and without Kobe on the court, Duan must send two people to double-check and limit the situation.

After Du En was flanked, although there was still room for him to shoot, and it was not impossible to rely on his height to shoot a three-pointer, in order to win, Du En still chose to pass the ball to other teammates who had better offensive space.

As Weber on the sideline caught the ball and immediately slid to the bottom of the basket, the basket attracted the defense and passed the ball to Milicic. The Bulls relied on passing and cutting to once again establish a 2-point advantage.

There is a saying, it is comfortable to play with experienced veterans.

The Bulls can afford a veteran's minimum salary, and spend more than 100 million a year for nothing on veteran stars like Webber who still have gas in the tank. This wave of profits is really huge.

Weber can hold the ball, handle the ball, and pass the ball.

And Weber also knows that his physical condition has declined and he cannot play hard in many cases.It just so happens that Milicic has talent, and the stage of the finals is suitable for such a young man to perform.

As a result, Weber successfully activated Milicic and became the second man in the Bulls to master Milicic's instruction manual.

In this way, Duan does not need to pay too much attention to Milicic.

As the Bulls continued to widen the point difference, Kobe became a little unable to sit still off the court.

Although at the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers also had Hinrich, Odom and Gasol leading the team, it was not that no one in the Lakers could score.

However, without Kobe on the court, the Lakers' overall temperament is just a little bit worse. In short, they don't look like a championship-level team.

Zen Master quickly noticed the situation on Kobe's side, and in order to relieve the Lakers' crisis on the court, Zen Master took the initiative to call a timeout for the first time.

After the timeout, Kobe naturally returned to the court, but Hinrich, Odom and Gasol did not end there.

Obviously, the game situation has entered the stage that Lakers fans are most familiar with, where Zen Master is the main force.

Many people criticize Zen Master for relying on stars to win games. Even in the regular season, he often relies on the main players, excessively consuming the stars' physical energy and increasing the risk of injuries to the stars.

However, we must admit that the main force of Shicao can win!
What's more, nothing is a problem now.

After all, we're in the finals. It's impossible to just watch the substitutes lose points while the main players sit off the court and remain indifferent, right?

Stars are used to fight key battles!
Even though he was called "tired and stuck" and "stuck and can't play", Leonard, who often took turns in the regular season and never saw the end of the dragon, was often fucked and stretched in the playoffs, and then he was out of the league. A super powerful level at the ruler level.

Not to mention, a physical monster like Kobe!

The Lakers need Kobe not only because of Kobe's ability to score, but also because of Kobe's tough attitude.

Kobe is an offensive and defensive player, and his mental attributes are full.

Even if he can't score, it's enough to make Du En drink a pot.

You know, Kobe's good defense is not only due to his rich defensive experience, but also his physical talent and defensive aggressiveness.

The Zen master can rest assured that Kobe can guard Duen alone because Kobe will do everything he can to stalk Duen.

Many stars lost in one-on-one duels with Kobe because Kobe was experienced and knew how to use physical strength and fighting spirit to destroy opponents.

However, it is not that simple for Kobe to defeat Duan.

Du En is not afraid of a one-on-one challenge with Kobe, let alone a matchup with Kobe.

After all, Duen knew very well that as long as his teammates went all out and didn't lose the ball, he could win the game even if he and Kobe competed.

What's more, Kobe can't defeat him.

Although Duan doesn't score, he can still create threats with the ball and pass good balls to his teammates, but Kobe can't play like Duan.

Kobe gave the ball to Hinrich more and chose to trust his teammates.

And Hinrich went to connect the team and let Gasol perform at a better level.

However, the other Bulls players still showed their strength.

In comparison, the Bulls are the more experienced team in the finals.

47 to 58, after the first half, the Bulls have established an 11-point lead. (End of chapter)
