I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 334 Dedicated to all the Lakers
"This should be the best finals in the past three years!"

On June 6, G8 of the finals between the Bucks and the Lakers was held at the Bradley Center as scheduled.

Halfway through the first quarter, both teams showed the highest level of defense, but the scoring ability of the two teams was extremely crazy. Basically at the same time, they scored 7 points in just 20 minutes.

The strong dialogue between the stars, the role players withstood the huge pressure of the finals, and played the best performance, which made the audience watching the finals G1 very addicted.

Even the on-site commentary has to admit that this year's finals are indeed better than previous years.

"I know everyone has given their all, but I still want to emphasize that our defense must do better!"

With the help of the timeout, Zen master emphasized this to the Lakers players.

The Bucks' offense is too good, but there is a problem, that is, they rely too much on outside shots.

Zen Master knows that He Li can attack inside, and Boozer's ability to attack inside is not bad.

But He Li wants to hold the ball in the top arc and connect the teams, while Boozer will attack inside and will encounter Garnett's strict defense.

When the Bucks faced the Lakers, the problem of insufficient offensive ability inside was exposed.

In this case, if the Lakers can do a good job of perimeter defense and completely lock the Bucks, then this year's championship may be won by the Lakers.

"Don't worry, I will suppress others." Kobe wiped his sweat and said seriously.

Kobe is the boss of the Lakers. Although the Lakers are now equipped with the Big Three, Kobe is still the unique and most special one in the team.

Kobe can choose to specialize in offense or defense, which is Kobe's privilege in the Lakers.

But for the sake of the championship, Kobe is willing not to have these privileges, and for the place where the team needs him, he will concentrate and pay attention to everything.

Kobe locked up the outside players of the Bucks except He Li, Garnett defended the inside players of the Bucks, and the Lakers wing players continued to consume He Li, leaving He Li in the predicament of infinite singles.

This is the strategy that the Lakers had planned before the game started.

However, the situation on the court is changing rapidly, and He Li can still find opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates with a relatively comfortable shooting space.

Kobe and Garnett also only have one person. When defending alone, the other Bucks players quickly pass the ball, which also makes the Bucks' overall offense smooth and fast.

Fortunately, the overall strength of the Lakers is very strong, and Arenas can rely on his physical advantage to continue to attack from the outside.

If it weren't for the Bucks' overall height, relying on Arenas alone, the Lakers would not lack offense or score.

It is also the high degree of advantage in the Bucks lineup that makes the Lakers feel a little disadvantaged.

Before He Li was fully fired, the Bucks temporarily led by 3 points.

However, after the timeout ended, Kobe looked back picturesque as soon as he came on the court and shot a three-pointer.

After all, Kobe is the boss of the Lakers. It is impossible not to shoot at all in the first quarter, but to focus on defense.

In the case of the team falling behind, it is necessary for Kobe to make up for the missing part of the team-scoring!

In fact, when Kobe invested a lot of physical energy on the defensive end in the first half of the quarter, after a timeout, he was able to use his excellent skills to make a three-pointer and even the score.

It's a pity that in the next round, He Li used the pick-and-roll to switch defenses in front of Kobe, and directly made a three-pointer that ignored the defense.

Originally, when Kobe saw He Li taking the initiative to kill him, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously stuck out his tongue, ready to eat He Li's ball.

No, He Li shot Kobiyan cleanly.

Kobe looked back in disbelief, but contributed a memorable background board and famous scene.

"Josh, do me a favor, don't let him slip out of your nose!"

After being shot by Yan Ye, Kobe couldn't help but get angry at Josh Howard, but he didn't scold too badly.

If it was the past, Josh Howard's self-confidence would have collapsed after being scolded by Kobe, who was denied by his six relatives.

But Kobe knew that, facing the mighty Bucks and He Li, who even he couldn't beat, how could he expect his teammates to keep up with He Li's footsteps, and how could he completely prevent death?
However, this did not prevent Kobe, who knew all this clearly, from being angry.

If the game cannot be won, Kobe will be angry with everyone, including himself!

He doesn't want to be the biggest loser again!
He has been waiting for this opportunity for revenge for four full years!
How many four years are there in life?How many years in life can you live in the shadow of a man?
Kobe wants to get He Li to become the active No.1, Kobe wants to rule the league!

Many people in the league have the same idea as Kobe, but the opportunity to challenge He Li only comes once a year.

In other words, the Lakers' small forward Josh Howard has performed well in the past two seasons.

As a member of the Platinum Generation in 03, junior Josh Howard is much stronger than before.

Originally, Josh Howard had an outstanding swingman figure, as well as amazing wingspan and movement speed, but now he has both strength and confrontation.

If it weren't for the Lakers, who lacked enough possessions, otherwise they would not only perform well on the defensive end, but also play quite well on the offensive end.

Of course, Josh Howard would not have many chances to attack if he had to defend He Li this time.

It was also Josh Howard's best defense. In the first half of the first quarter, He Li was a little annoyed by Josh Howard's dog-skinned defense.

Out of the consideration of avoiding excessive physical exertion, He Li is still looking for opportunities for his teammates.

Anyway, it is impossible for Josh Howard to defend He Li all over the court, and He Li will definitely have a chance to shoot in the following game time.

If it wasn't for Kobe's strong shot to tie the score, He Li would not suddenly stand up and call out Kobe and respond with a three-pointer.

In fact, it is also stressful for the stars to talk and respond to the ball.

Everyone knows that if you can't respond, it will be embarrassing.

If the point difference is widened, the morale of other players is likely to plummet.

This time He Li responded well, so it is the Lakers whose morale is damaged.

I have to say that morale is a very mysterious thing.

After He Li responded successfully, the Lakers made a mistake in passing the ball in the next round.

Kobe didn't respond to He Li in a hurry, Arenas continued to look for opportunities to attack, but it was impossible not to pass the ball to other teammates at all.

Passing the ball represents the risk of being intercepted, so it is not a team that plays a pass ball or focuses on team basketball to gain a competitive advantage.

Once the pass is missed, the opponent will be given a fast break opportunity, which often means that two points will be directly lost.

After the Bucks widened the point difference to 5 points, the Lakers' players other than the stars played more cautiously.

The stars play in a hurry, the role players play nervously, the coordination fails to keep up, and the tactical effect is played, it will be a mess.

Soon, He Li found an opportunity to complete a step-back three-pointer in front of Josh Howard.

After this three-pointer hit, the point difference between the two teams has reached 9 points, and it was almost widened to 10 points.

At this critical juncture, Garnett stood up with a big jumper and scored against Boozer's defense.

Under the harassment of chattering trash, Boozer almost couldn't resist punching Garnett.

Fortunately, Garnett knew Boozer's notoriety, so he withdrew early.

Influenced by Garnett, Boozer made the final attack of the first quarter on behalf of the Bucks. Because he failed to score, the Bucks only maintained a 5-point advantage and entered the second quarter.

He Li still made his debut in the second quarter, leading the second team to play fast breaks and score points.

The Lakers saw the situation was not good, Kobe and Josh Howard continued to play.

However, Antawn Jamison made a small explosion, making 4 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers in 1 minutes. He scored 7 points in a row and stopped the Lakers.

Garnett had to go out and star Antawn Jamison at this point.

Then He Li frequently called the pick-and-roll, and played the Lakers' backup point guard without talking about the misplacement of the ball.

When the point difference widened to 12 points, Kobe had to double-team He Li and limit He Li's scoring.

When He Li saw Kobe, he gave him a little respect. He didn't shoot, but passed the ball.

Once Kobe double-teamed, he missed someone.

The Bucks have no shortage of shooters on the outside. Even if the missing person is filled, they will pass quickly on the outside, and someone from the bottom corner can shoot.

The pressure of the finals has caused the Bucks pitchers to generally drop their three-point shooting percentage a little, but three-pointers are three-pointers after all, as long as they are not too hard, every one scored is worth a thousand dollars.

Under the leadership of He Li and Antawn Jamison, the Bucks second team made 12 of 5 three-pointers in the second quarter and dazzled the Lakers.

Coupled with mid-range shots and intermittent scoring at the basket, the Bucks once again had an 8-point advantage in the second quarter, expanding the difference between the two teams to 13 points in one fell swoop.

In the third quarter, the Lakers could only play the main force, allowing the Big Three to grit their teeth and insist on chasing points.

He Li relied on the intermission to catch up on sleep, and played the return of the king in the second half of the third quarter.

The Big Three of the Lakers spent most of the quarter and worked hard to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points. He Li used less than half a quarter to expand the point difference to less than 10 points again.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but all teams are very depressed when they encounter this situation.

As long as they don't have an advantage in the first half, they are likely to be defeated by He Li inexplicably in the third quarter.

In recent years, whenever He Li scored 10+ points in the second half of the third quarter, and it seemed that he was going to win the game in one fell swoop, many Bucks fans would call out the nickname of Chinese fans He Li-He Sancrazy!

In the understanding of American fans, He Sankuang is-He Li made crazy shots in the third quarter, driving his opponent crazy with three-pointers.

Indeed, the Lakers looked crazy when they were cornered by He Li.

The Big Three of the Lakers kept playing in the fourth quarter and continued to play, trying to recover the score.

The Bucks had to give up their lives to accompany the gentleman, but under the violent attack of the Big Three of the Lakers, they did not mess up their positions, but simply did a good job of defense and offense.

In the end, the Bucks lost 3 points in the fourth quarter, but relying on the advantage established in the third quarter, they beat the Lakers by 9 points.

In G1 of the finals where the Lakers gave everything, the Bucks did not play too hard and won the game by 9 points.

Such a situation seems to prove that the Bucks are still Bucks, and there is still hope for consecutive championships!
