Standing pretty old

Chapter 376
ESPN once again sent Mark * Jackson, Jeff * Van Gundy and Mike * Breen to commentary lineup in G4.

The three of them held microphones and talked about all kinds of unreliable media opinions before the game on the sidelines of the warm-up training of the two teams.

However, the three of them have the same view on the Eagles' tactics today - the Eagles will definitely stick to the zone defense and lock Kobe to death.

This point, the three of them blurted out almost at the same time.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "I can't think of a possibility for Woodson to not use zone defense. You know, the Lakers still can't come up with an effective way to deal with the Eagles' zone defense tactics.

Although many people said that in the last game, the Lakers did not withstand the Hawks' small-ball lineup at critical moments, but the Hawks' defense in the second half was consistent. They were using zone defense to strangle the Lakers' most important scoring point.This is the real reason for the Hawks to win. "

Van Gundy, who was dubbed brother-in-law and Baldy Fan by some Chinese fans, has been doing well on ESPN since he stepped down as the head coach of the Rockets.

It seems that compared with the work of the head coach, he is more happy and happy in the commentary booth. With his humorous words, he has also become the favorite commentator of the entire Mi audience.

ESPN arranged for him to explain the finals is the best proof.

The warm-up for the players of the two teams ended soon.

The G4 battle started amidst the uproar.

Ruan Erniu and Gasol jumped high and touched the basketball at the same time. In the end, Erniu, who was stronger, turned the ball to his own camp.

Bibby catches the ball and advances half court.

囧囧sen held the ball from the outside and made a three-pointer against Kobe, but missed!
Ruan Erniu squeezed away Gasol and Odom, took the offensive rebound, and was slapped on the hand by Odom before he even took off.

"Crack!" Er Niu lost the basketball under the vigorous slap.

This is obviously a foul in the conventional sense, but the referee ignored it at all. The tone of the game has been set, which is to let the players solve the problem by themselves.

Er Niu hurried back to the defense and did not complain to the referee. He touched the referee's scale with the first ball in the opening game.

Judging from the past few games, the league's intervention in the game is not great. In other words, this game is basically a defensive battle between the two teams.

Kobe shot against Jon Jonson, and Jon Jonson's movements were not small, and Kobe shot hard.

Er Niu took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Bibby.

……

The two teams did not break the scoreless situation within 2 minutes after the opening, and the two big duck eggs hung up the scoreboard. I don't know which side this is taunting.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "There must be audiences who are drowsy, but there is no way. This is how the finals are. The iron-blooded defense must be carried through to the end."

Not long after Van Gundy's words fell, the Lakers finally broke the balance of power. Odom used the guard technology to shake Marvin Williams away and hit a mid-range jumper.

Facing the North Carolina junior, the left-handed magician is getting more and more experienced as he plays, he can always use his flexible skills to get rid of his opponents.

Kobe then tried to shoot twice, but because of his poor hand, he hit the iron continuously and had to completely hand over the offensive rights in the first quarter.

This exchange completely released Odom's offensive firepower.

Odom held the ball in a high position. After a tentative step, he took a big stride past Marvin, and then threw a one-handed shot to score over Erniu's defense.

It's Odom again, the bullhorn catches the ball with his back, turns over and makes a jumper and hits!
Odom steals the ball in the middle, goes straight to the basket, and dunks!
Odom cuts to the basket and receives a pass from Kobe to score.

Odom picks and rolls for Kobe, catches the ball from mid-range, and makes a jumper.

整个第一节，奥多姆神奇的6投6中，罚球2罚1中，以100%的命中率单节砍下13分，带领湖人以14:35领先亚特兰大老鹰队21分结束首节比赛。

Woodson called timeouts twice, to no avail.

An angry Woodson directly smashed the plastic tactical board. This is not the Atlanta Hawks he led. This team seemed to be under a spell, and was suppressed by the Lakers in the first quarter.

Marvin Williams, Zaza Pachulia, and even Er Niu also helped defend together, but in the end they failed to stop Odom's magical performance.

Magic Johnson on the sidelines also grinned from ear to ear. He joked: "Lamar performed so well today, he must still be distracted, but God came to him."

Although Kobe only scored 3 points from free throws in the first quarter, he sent 4 assists in a single quarter, three of which were for Odom.

The Lakers threw the strongest punch in desperation, but the Eagles couldn't react in time and were knocked to the ground.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 5 points in the first quarter and had 4 rebounds, said dissatisfiedly: "Guys, wake up, this is the finals, we haven't won the championship yet."

Er Niu felt a little regretful, when everyone felt bad, he should stand up and take over the game. G3 won too smoothly, and he was a little careless.

After Woodson finished his anger, he stabilized his emotions. He said to Ruan Erniu: "Kraft, you will defend Odom in the second quarter. Do you understand what I mean?"

Er Niu nodded immediately, Woodson's eyes were particularly stern, and Egghead was also anxious.

The next moment, Woodson said to Marvin Williams: "I won't take you off the field, Marvin, you go to deal with Pau Gasol, I ask you, can you do it?"

Marvin Williams also nodded quickly, and said loudly: "I can definitely!"

Woodson said: "Being behind by 21 points is nothing, our tactical arrangement will not change, Kobe is indeed passing the ball, but his shot selection is still poor, and the rest of the Lakers' shooting rate is not consistent.

At the critical moment, they still have to rely on Kobe's strength to solve the problem. At that time, it is our chance to fight back. "

Mike Woodson has also been upgraded!
After Egghead has strong players such as Erniu, Jiongsen, Bibby, Lunar Eclipse, etc., his own vision has also improved.

He was originally a staunch and tenacious conservative, but he just didn't believe that the Lakers would completely treat Kobe as a passer.

The Lakers are not the Nets or the Mavericks, and Kobe is not even Kidd.

If Kidd can't make a shot, as long as other players make a shot, the team can still win.

If Kobe fails to make a shot, the probability of the Lakers winning will be greatly reduced, because Kobe's efficiency represents the efficiency of the Lakers.

As long as this black mamba continues to stick to his difficult shot selection, sooner or later the Lakers will have a flaw.

Woodson firmly believed in this, so his defensive strategy in the second quarter remained unchanged, locking Kobe, even to a certain extent, relaxing the defense of other Lakers players.

Egghead just doesn't believe that the rest of the Lakers can adapt to a Kobe who leads their offense, not Kobe who leads them.

囧囧sen covered his mouth and said to Er Niu: "Do you think Mike is right?"

Ruan Erniu also said in a low voice: "Is it important? Now we can't shake it, we are so far behind, if we shake the predetermined defensive tactics again, we are very likely to collapse, and we have to fight to the end."

What Er Niu said is absolutely correct. Players are playing hard on the court. Once the breath is gone, it will be really exhausting.

Being behind by 21 points in a single quarter is not terrible. Denying yourself and losing confidence are the harbingers of collapse.

　I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day if you have a lover, and a happy Valentine's Day if you don't have a lover, because you don't have to worry about your wallet.
