NBA: Miller moment at the start

On the day of the game,

Wang Ba trained in the morning, took a short break in the afternoon, and went to the game site.

Because it was a revenge game, the entire Lakers team came to the stadium early to warm up, and the game also attracted media attention.

Before the game started, the Tencent live broadcast room was already very lively,

"Will Ba Wang play today?"

"Wang Ba is on the Lakers' roster."

"So he has to play? I hope the Lakers can stop their losing streak. If they lose again, they will drop to 7th place, which is too dangerous."

Yang Yi and Wang Meng were also discussing this issue:

"Do you think Wang Ba will play?"

"He should play. Wang Ba said that it is not easy for fans to come to the scene to watch the game, and he will play unless necessary."

"He is still injured."

"Based on the Lakers' training footage, Wang Ba's injury should not have much impact."

"Then who do you think will win this game, the Lakers or the Suns?"

Yang Yi thought for a moment and answered:

"I personally think the Lakers will win, but they may not win easily."

"Oh?"

Wang Meng was a little curious:

"You just said that Wang Ba is likely to play. With Wang Ba, it is difficult to beat the Suns?"

"This involves the problem of 1+1 being less than 2."

"Tell me more about it."

"I'm afraid I'll be criticized if I say too much. Mina is still here."

Wang Meng laughed:

"Will you stop talking if you're criticized?"

"I still have to talk."

Yang Yi organized his words and spoke slowly:

"We all know that LeBron plays with the ball as the core, and this style of play is very dependent on his teammates."

"On the defensive end,"

"LeBron has defensive ability, but it cannot be denied that he has I admit that his current defense is hard to describe, and his teammates need to fill in the gaps for him.

"The Lakers have the strongest defense ability and awareness in Wang Ba, and I am afraid that he consumes a lot of energy on the defensive end."

"On the offensive end,"

"LeBron can't play without the ball, and Wang Ba can only play without the ball when he controls the ball, which directly weakens Wang Ba's threat."

"Without the ball, Wang Ba needs to keep cutting and running, which will increase his consumption. Wang Ba's consumption on both offense and defense will be greater than usual."

"The Suns have Ayton."

"Many fans think Ayton plays soft, but in fact, anyone who watches the game rationally knows that Ayton is very strong on defense."

"His static talent and body size are still very good when defending the league's top centers. , has a center's body, and has good mobility for this body level. "

"At the same time, his defensive habits are very good, he doesn't jump around."

"His comprehensive physical fitness on the defensive end is close to the top quasi-All-Star level, and his comprehensive defense inside and outside is relatively outstanding."

"It's just that his confrontation awareness is relatively poor, and this characteristic of his is actually an advantage when defending LeBron."

"LeBron's assists rely largely on breakthrough passes. The inside line cannot let the Suns shrink, and the outside defense of the Suns is not at a disadvantage."

Yang Yi's analysis is well-founded and not nonsense, but James fans can't accept it and start cursing in the live broadcast room. Fortunately, he was prepared and didn't care too much.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started, and the starting lineups of both sides began to appear.

"Come on, son!"

"Your wife is watching, you must do well!"

In the audience behind the Lakers bench, Lin Meilan pulled Ilia, who had disappeared for a long time, and shouted,

Wang Ba turned around and saw this scene. My brain crashed instantly. The Queen Mother was actually with Ilia? What combination?

The noise at the scene was too loud, and he didn't hear what his mother was shouting. He waved in that direction and then went on the court.

Lin Meilan leaned close to Ilia's ear and didn't know what the tiger and wolf words were. Ilia's mouth twitched, her expression was stiff, and her face was a little red.

The Lakers started with James, Wang Ba, McGee, Pope, Ingram,

The Suns started with Ayton, Booker, Warren, Oubre, Ariza.

The skills copied were unlucky, and two useless skills were copied. Only Robert Parrish's low post was somewhat useful.

At the beginning, James held the ball and passed it to Ingram.

Wang Ba cut and ran to find a screen, but the other Lakers' feet were like screws, and they didn't move at all. His cut was ineffective.

Ingram saw that there was no good passing opportunity, and Qiantian scored two points.

Then,

Pope hit a 3-pointer from the outside, and James hit a 3-pointer.

The Lakers started with an 8:0 lead, and it seemed to be going smoothly, but the situation on the court changed suddenly.

Suns head coach Kokoskov requested a timeout and made adjustments.

On the offensive end, Booker managed the game, hitting 3 points in a row, assisting Ayton to eat the cake and continuously attack the basket to score.

On the defensive end, he directly defended the double team.

Everyone knows that the best way to break the double team is to hit the outside line, or to play a defensive counterattack.

The Suns' offensive efficiency is very high, and there are not many good counterattack opportunities.As for the outside line,

The inside line couldn't break through the Suns' defense, they just wouldn't shrink, forced 3-pointers, but they kept missing, and the basket was about to be smashed.

The Suns' defense against Wang Ba was very smart, not letting him receive the ball,

In just 5 minutes, the Suns' offense was hot, hitting 5 3-pointers from the outside, and Booker even pulled the Lakers' defense,

19:11,

In the Tencent live broadcast room, Mina, a Lakers fan, stamped her feet anxiously, and Wang Meng said to Yang Yi:

"I didn't expect you to be right."

Yang Yi shook his head repeatedly:

"The Suns played very smartly, cutting off LeBron's connection with his teammates. LeBron's breakthrough ability is not as good as before, and he can't break through the Suns' defense. What about the other Lakers players? There is no off-ball interlacing running, only Wang Ba is running, which is ineffective. In the final analysis, James is different from traditional point guards like Paul and Nash... His passing threat is based on tearing open the opponent's defense and forcing the opponent to double-team , creating open opportunities for teammates. Traditional point guards are more about finding open spaces with super high observation ability and using strange passing trajectories to create opportunities for teammates, which is what we call, the ball leads people... It sounds simple, but it requires countless judgments and analyses in an instant. Currently, only Wang Ba can do it in the Lakers. "

"The Lakers request a timeout. What kind of adjustments do you think will be made next? Will Wang Ba hold the ball?"

Yang Yi thought about it and shook his head:

"Even if Walton sees the problem, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to bring it up. Wang Ba holds the ball and LeBron plays without the ball, which may be very bad, unless LeBron is replaced..."

In fact, it is similar to what Yang Yi said. After the Lakers paused, they adjusted their tactics and reminded the players to run more, and did not let Wang Ba hold the ball.

At the same time, Wang Ba was asked to defend Booker, but the Lakers' defense missed a lot of people, and the effect was average.

The Lakers' offensive problems are still unsolved.

The interspersed running is based on the active running of the whole team. The defensive end needs to help James fill the gaps, and the offensive end needs a lot of running.

It's OK if the effect is good, but if they don't receive the ball for two rounds or can't score, their enthusiasm will be frustrated. The Lakers played very constipated.

The Staples Center was terribly quiet.
