Legendary basketball manager

"It's hard to say...it's really hard to say."

"Replacing Fisher with Paul at the point guard position is definitely a qualitative leap. But in order to get Paul, the Lakers sent Gasol and Odom two big insiders."

"We can see from the starting lineup of the Lakers today that they are a bit stretched at the power forward position. A space four with mediocre athletic ability like Murphy is certainly not comparable to Gasol or Odom. of."

Yang Yi analyzed.

"Indeed, with Murphy's ability, it is really difficult to start in a championship team. But what is even more frightening is that he is already the best power forward in the Lakers."

"It is equivalent to the fact that the Lakers have upgraded the weakest point guard position to the top match at once, but the original first-class fourth position has now become extremely weak."

Yu Jia added.

"Yes, so I think the key to victory for the two teams today is the confrontation between the core players, and the second is whether the more comprehensive Rockets can seize the Lakers' weaknesses and play to their advantage!"

Yang Yi nodded and continued.

"Thank you Director Yang for your analysis. Okay, now the game is about to start, let's pass the camera to the front!"

After all, Yu Jia waved his hand, the screen changed, and he came to the Staples Arena.

............

At this time, players from both sides are doing the final warm-up activities.

In the stands, Shen Fei just took his seat.

He is very interested in this game, so he specially took a private jet from Houston to watch the game!

Shen Fei has three key points in watching the game today (or he watched the game with three questions).

First, can the third-year Curry fight against the peak Paul, and even gain the upper hand?

Second, what level can Jeremy Lin play when he meets the league's top perimeter players?Is it possible to be like Irving, who is strong when he meets the strong?

Third, after half a year of running-in, does the Huaxia insider composed of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have the world's top level?Can he play dominant against opponents like Bynum Murphy?

"Come on, show..."

Shen Fei looked down at the field and murmured.

Soon, the referee took the basketball and walked to the middle of the court.

The starting players of both sides have also settled down one after another.

The war is about to start!

............

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming and Bynum jumped up at the same time.

This time, the little shark bounced faster, took the lead, and returned the ball to his own half.

The Lakers go first!

Paul held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Both the Lakers and the Rockets like to give the first attack to the inside players, and it is the same today.

With a flick of his wrist, Paul passed the ball to Bynum in the low post.

The Sharks played back with the ball, turned around and wanted to forcefully enter the penalty area.

But Yao Ming had rich experience, and he took a step sideways, blocking the opponent's way forward.

Bynum couldn't figure it out, so he immediately exerted some strength, turned around in the other direction, and then shot with a hook.

Yao Ming was pushed a little, but his feet took root immediately and he did not retreat an inch.

When the opponent made a shot, he raised his long arm and successfully interfered.

"duang!"

The ball hit the front edge of the side of the basket and bounced out of the basket.

Murphy jumped hard.

But before jumping to the highest point, Yi Jianlian had the ball in his arms.

Then, UAE immediately wanted to pass the ball to Curry on the side.

But at the moment before the basketball left his hand, Yi Jianlian suddenly found that Paul had rushed between him and Curry.

Thanks to the quick response of the UAE, it reined in at the last moment, received the ball back, and passed it to Jeremy Lin instead.

Shuhao advanced quickly with the ball, and Kobe's defense was soon ushered in.

Facing Kobe who had defended many times, Shuhao didn't panic at all. He dribbled the ball behind his back and successfully passed Kobe who was trying to steal.

Afterwards, Brother Hao strode forward and rushed to the hinterland of the Lakers.

At the critical moment, Paul shot out again, cutting off the basketball in Jeremy's hand with a palm from the side and rear.

The ball hit Brother Hao's leg and flew directly out of the baseline.

The Lakers have the ball!

Shuhao raised his right hand in frustration, indicating that the ball was his problem.

Then he gave Paul a meaningful look.

Obviously, Shuhao was careless just now.

If he noticed Paul behind him, he might be able to send the ball to the basket this time.

Paul, on the other hand, looked calm, ignoring Shu Hao's gaze at all.

From cp3's point of view, Jeremy Lin is just a second-year undrafted pick. A large part of the reason for being able to start the Rockets is that he is from China!

What's so strange about making a rookie mistake?

Thinking of this, Paul smiled slightly, took the baseline ball from Murphy, and started to attack.

Coincidentally, Jeremy Lin is responsible for defending Paul (George defends Kobe, Curry defends Barnes).

Shuhao lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and assumed a standard defensive posture, ready to fight!

But Paul only used a pick-and-roll to leave Jeremy behind.

cp3 dribbled the ball all the way to the free throw line, facing Yi Jianlian who was helping to defend, it was a huge crossover!

After all, Ah Lian is an inside player. After being shaken like this, his center of gravity has also shifted.

Paul took a step to the right, made an emergency stop and made a jump shot...

hit!

2:0, the Lakers head start!

20 seconds later, Paul made a comeback.

This time, he once again used the cover to get rid of Shuhao's defense, and suddenly passed the ball to the outside after breaking through the penalty area.

After receiving the ball from the wing, Kobe faced George's defense and made a three-pointer...

Again!

5:0, the Lakers made a strong start!

Seeing this, Curry half spit out the braces in his mouth, and bit them silently.

The Rockets' offensive round.

Just after halftime, Curry encountered Paul's close defense.

Mengshen didn't hit hard, but passed the ball immediately, and he started to run without the ball.

Subsequently, Curry and Paul started a "marathon" battle.

The two ran lap after lap around the baseline.

Curry made a sudden back run and rushed in Yao Ming's direction.

With the help of Dayao's cover, he finally got rid of Paul's defense.

George passed the ball immediately.

But Curry didn't get an open shot, because Bynum tried his best and followed it.

Rocket No. 30 smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pull away—he wants to play singles!

Soon, only Curry and Bynum were left on the left side of the court.

The cuteness is not fast, but the rhythmic dribbling made Bynum lose his way.

After "fixing" the little shark, Curry took a step back to outside the three-point line, and opened his hand to score a three-pointer!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

The Rockets broke the deadlock!

The goal was scored beautifully, but Shen Fei didn't smile at all.

Because in the first 2 minutes, Shu Hao did not match the strength of the opponent.

............

After 1 minute, Shuhao finally found his chance.

Yi Jianlian successfully intercepted Matt Barnes' pass in defense.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

In the fast break, Shu Hao was like a sharp knife, piercing the Lakers' hinterland.

He first turned around and passed Paul, and then, facing Murphy's help defense, Jeremy made a pull-up layup and scored the ball!

5:5, the two sides returned to the same starting line!

As soon as the goal was scored, Paul's impression of Shu Hao changed a lot.

[This kid has a good sense of the ball, so you can't be careless against him...]

cp3 secretly thought in his heart.

............

Not long after, the two confronted each other head-on again!
