From today on is the king

Chapter 1235 1234. Obvious strength gap (710 asks for double monthly pass)
"Ding... talent skill: absolute talent trigger, from Lamar Odom."

"Ding... Feature: Absolute Almighty trigger, from Lamar Odom."

"Ding... Lamar Odom is focused."

As soon as he played, Liu Mang heard Odom's reminder to play seriously.

Odom, who made it to the Finals for the first time, is very serious, just like in the 2008 Finals in the original time and space, when Gasol was punished by Garnett and Kobe Bryant shot only 40.00% in the series, the Lakers can survive to the sixth game, relying on Odom who was very excited to play the Finals for the first time.

However, Kobe didn't receive a reminder of the triggering of his natural skills, because Kobe was at his peak... his natural skills were transformed into continuous skills, and he felt like he was going to eat the opponent alive throughout the season.

Efforts will allow people to play beyond the shackles of their own talents. Kobe's performance this season is the pinnacle of his personal performance. From the perspective of personal performance, Liu Mang feels that the system's ability evaluation of 100 is not a problem.

However, no matter how hard you try, there is a limit. Kobe's limit is an ability evaluation of 100. After all, he is different from Duncan's core type of players. Kobe's role is judged by the system as "champion puzzle".

Although Jordan was also judged to be a "champion puzzle", it was Jordan...

At eight o'clock sharp, the game begins!

Kwame Brown's biggest effect against Yao Ming may be the jump ball. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball.

Kwame Brown knew that this was the easiest time for him to face an opponent like Yao Ming who restrained him, and then came the painful time, but he had to bear it!

Already being abused by O'Neal for six games, Kwame-Brown's psychological resilience has reached its peak, the worst thing is to be abused for a few more games, and create some troubles for Yao Ming.

Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to McGrady who was invading quickly on the right. McGrady received the ball and Kobe defended against McGrady.

McGrady came to the right side of the free throw line, and actively leaned towards McGrady sideways, with a high back on the right!
After Liu Mang passed the ball, he quickly cut towards the basket. Odom played in the finals for the first time. He was very serious and focused, and actively posted towards Liu Mang.

But... seriousness is seriousness, absolute talent is absolute talent, it is true that you can play five positions on the offensive end, but you have to guard against Liu Mang's off-ball...

Liu Mang turned around and changed direction to accelerate, before Odom could turn around, Liu Mang directly inserted into the three-point line from the middle!
McGrady has been paying attention to Liu Mang's movements. When Liu Mang cuts in, McGrady also quickly turned his back, and his long right leg stepped behind Kobe, turning around and breaking through!
It is also difficult for Kobe to guard McGrady!

McGrady rushed into the basket with the ball, which attracted Yao Ming's attention. He threw the ball to the left. Liu Mang caught the ball and rushed into the interior.

Liu Mang entered the basket and took off, turned 180 degrees, turned his back to Yao Ming, separated the space, and threw the ball towards the basket with his back to the basket.

There was no way for the ball, and Odom chased to the free throw line. Liu Mang's move could not be blocked by Yao Ming, and he was easy to foul. McGrady assisted, and Liu Mang turned around and scored two points with his back to the basket.

It’s a similar style of play to the Heat at the beginning of Game 01, but this time the tactical purpose is more clear, and the Lakers’ perimeter defense is not 30:[-] points worse than the Heat’s.
Compared with the fact that the Lakers can wrestle with the Eagles in the regular season, everything has changed in the finals!

The main reason is that the Eagles have just experienced Pat Riley's iron-blooded defense. Perhaps among the teams in this year's playoffs, only the Spurs have the defense of the Heat. The Eagles are slightly inferior, and the Lakers... are even worse!

The Eagles faced mediocre defenses most of the time in the regular season, so when the Lakers played defensive battles, the Eagles were not so adaptable, but the Eagles just played six iron-blooded defensive battles with the Heat three days ago, and they have long been used to the strongest defense. The Lakers' defense is not enough to watch!

After the game started, the Eagles took the lead.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Kobe failed to make a mid-range shot at first.

When the Eagles attacked, McGrady continued to use a high back to break through to contain the defense on one side. After Liu Mang attracted Wang Zhizhi to double-team, McGrady turned around and broke through to Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace also made a three-pointer!
The Eagles played a wave of 5-0 at the beginning!

The game had just started, and the commentator on the TV station began to criticize Zen Master's lineup.

Let Odom defend Liu Mang or McGrady... What is he thinking!

Perhaps Zen master had some unique ideas, and sent out this lineup that had a good performance in the past against the Mavericks. Maybe he wanted to use Odom's comprehensiveness to deal with the three defensive players on the outside of the Eagles.

However, when the Eagles attacked next, Liu Mang encountered Kobe's defense, and after McGrady's pick-and-roll, Odom switched to Liu Mang's side, and Liu Mang easily broke into a close-range throw and scored two points.

Zen Master's lineup arrangement is under fire again.

Zen Master sat on the sidelines, also very helpless.

Zen master's lineup is weird, not because he's out of his head, but... It's obvious that they are not the Eagles' opponents!

As far as the current lineup is concerned, they are not opponents at all, and the front line defense is a big problem!

This is probably the worst lineup of the team when Zen Master led it to the finals.

The main thing is the front line defense. The Lakers lost a player at the small forward position who can help Kobe defend another star of the Eagles.

Generally speaking, Odom is already the one who defends relatively well, and of course, he can't defend.

But if you use Luke Wharton or Fisher to defend against Liu Mang and McGrady, the picture is simply unbearable!

However, fans and the media have seen the Lakers' regular season and the Eagles' defensive shopping, and they really regard the Lakers' defense as being able to defend against the Eagles.

Just after the Eastern Conference Finals, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, who were at their best under the Heat's iron-blooded defense, led the team to beat the Lakers from the very beginning of the Finals!
