NBA: Miller moment at the start

The game returned to normal rhythm, and the Lakers slowly fell behind.

Pants Ma is still in bad shape, 2 of 8 shots, Ingram 2 of 6 shots, and the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix brothers contributed 4 of 14 shots.

In fact, they are not in good shape, and we can't blame them completely.

Their characteristics are that they can attack the basket, their shooting is unstable, and they need the ball.

James has to hold the ball, break through and pass the ball, which makes the Celtics' inside line very crowded, and it is difficult for the two of them to play their own advantages.

In recent games, the two have been in ups and downs and continued to be sluggish. This is the reason. In the final analysis, the adaptability is too low.

On the Celtics side, the lineup is more reasonable, taking into account the inside line. Irving and Tatum teamed up to score 22 points.

The Lakers fell behind by 13 points at the end of the first quarter.

The players were relatively calm, and head coach Walton was not in a hurry.

Although the Lakers' current lineup is not compatible, they will definitely not fall behind so much if they play normally. The reason is still warming up.

Wang Ba did not participate too much in the offense, but used more running to lead the defenders and create offensive space for Kuzima and Ingram.

It is said that the first quarter is a warm-up to help teammates find their feelings. It is acceptable to fall behind, but the effect is obviously not good.

"In the second quarter, return to the normal tactical system."

"Wang Ba, you are the main attacker."

"Everyone pay attention to providing Wang Ba with pick-and-rolls and screens to provide him with a more relaxed shooting environment."

"Wang Ba, you should also pay attention to the distribution of physical energy, don't play too many singles, don't cut frequently, and the second half is the time to really fight hard."

Walton took advantage of the rest time to write and draw on the tactical board.

The compatibility of the Lakers lineup cannot be solved, and Walton can only find ways to maximize his strengths and overcome his weaknesses.

James is useless without the ball, and Wang Ba consumes too much energy when cutting without the ball.

He played various tricks with the tactics of James holding the ball at the top of the arc and Wang Ba's pick-and-roll to provide Wang Ba with comfortable shooting space.

Four minutes before the second quarter, the Lakers played with substitutes and performed mediocrely, but fortunately the score was not widened.

After the starters came on the court, the Lakers immediately played a pick-and-roll.

James held the ball at the top of the arc, and after Wang Ba screened for him, James rushed into the paint with the ball.

Maybe Wang Ba had not shot for a long time, and the Celtics were a little lax in their defense against him. When James rushed into the paint, Tatum and Jaylen Brown followed James at the same time.

Seeing this, James excitedly buried his head and rushed into the paint, jumped to deceive the defender, and passed the ball back to Wang Ba outside the 3-point line.

Wang Ba received the ball, and there was no one around him. He just shot.

The fans stood up excitedly. If Wang Ba didn't score in this open position, they would wash their heads upside down!

Bang! !

The fans expressed their relief that they didn't stand up to Flagg, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Wang Ba's face turned red after missing the open shot.

He hadn't touched the ball for a long time, and his hands felt cold. The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

He was lucky because it was a long rebound and the ball was flying towards him.

Wang Ba took a step forward and easily got the ball. Facing Jaylen Brown who had already rushed over, he shot again.

The most basic quality of an excellent shooter is that even if he misses 1000 times, he must believe that he will make the shot 1001 times, not to mention that he only missed once.

Wang Ba shot very resolutely, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the basket.

Many people think that Wang Ba's way of scoring is 3 points and attacking the basket, and he rarely shoots mid-range shots. In fact, Wang Ba's mid-range shooting ability is very strong.

Shooting 3 points is more cost-effective. Breaking through is to impact the formation. In his eyes, two points are a bit useless.

However, in this game, the skills he copied were all mid-range shots.

Durant's death sickle, Nowitzki's golden rooster stand, McGrady's pull-up, it feels wasteful if they are not used.

Looking back,

Irving used the mismatch caused by switching defense and scored 2 points to fight back.

Old James was not to be outdone, and he shot 3 points from the outside, which was also successful.

There was something in the eyes of the two people.

Their grievances came from the Cavaliers period, they loved and killed each other, and they were tangled. Both of them wanted to prove: I am still living well without you.

The next two rounds were their individual shows.

In the third round,

Irving scored again. James wanted to respond, but was blocked by Horford who was helping him. Pants Ma grabbed the rebound and passed the ball back.

James did not force himself to do it alone. He wanted to do what he was better at.

He got back to the basket with the help of the screen. Wang Ba's screen was not of high quality. Tatum still followed James closely.

Seeing this, Wang Ba followed him. Just as he reached the free throw line, James had already jumped to attack the basket. Tatum and Horford tried to block him.

He jumped up, spread his legs, and lookedIt's a bit ugly, like a stupid bear, but it's very practical. The basketball is passed from his crotch to Wang Ba who is following up.

James' pass was very fast, Jaylen Brown was not prepared at all, and blocked the shot in a hurry, but Wang Ba's shooting speed was too fast,

Even if there was only a little space to shoot, he could complete the shot in an instant, and Jaylen Brown could only watch the basketball pass through his fingertips and fall into the net.

Irving wanted to attack, and Wang Ba helped to destroy it.

The Celtics' attack failed. When the Lakers attacked, they consciously defended the pick-and-roll between Wang Ba and James.

James countered the move, passed the ball to Wang Ba with the pick-and-roll hand, and at the same time, Kuzi Ma lifted it to the top of the arc to cover Wang Ba.

Wang Ba dribbled easily to the free throw line, and the defenders had not caught up yet. Horford and Baynes in the interior had no intention of lifting it up.

Bend your knees, raise your arms, shake your wrists,

The movements were done in one go, and another mid-range shot was made.

The Celtics wanted to speed up and play fast, but the sneak attack failed. On the contrary, the Lakers continued to pick and roll, and Wang Ba scored another 2 points.

The atmosphere of Staples Center was ignited by Wang Ba's 3 mid-range shots, and the Celtics also requested a timeout.

Doris smiled slightly:

"It can be seen that Wang Ba's strength is not much worse than Irving, and he may be stronger in defense."

Brin was a little embarrassed.

He said Irving was better than Wang Ba, but he was blocked twice in a row, so he didn't mention it again. Unexpectedly, Doris spoke at this time,

Are you trying to step on me to get to the top?

He pretended to be calm and said lightly:

"The Lakers used good tactics, using the cover of teammates to score continuously. The Celtics will definitely strengthen their defense. It will be difficult for Wang Ba to score easily next time."

Doris continued to ask:

"Oh? You mean, the Celtics haven't really started yet?"

"Of course."

"I think the Celtics' lineup can't be adjusted any better, and Wang Ba may not be able to solve this problem."

"Chinese people have limited talent. Wang Ba will not have an advantage against a strong team like the Celtics."

"You mean, Wang Ba can't play against a strong team?"

Doris asked with a smile.
