After the timeout, Ke Yan replaced Butler with Finley. This is not only the team's regular rotation, but also Ke Yan's adjustment to the situation on the court.

Butler rested off the court, and waited until the second quarter as the main attack point to bring rotation players. Finley's appearance was also more conducive to opening up space for Kobe to launch a personal attack.

The game continued, Atkins dribbled the ball across half court, Odom inserted into the inside line, squatted halfway and stuck Radmanovic, reaching out for the ball.Atkins immediately hoisted the ball inside.Odom jumped the ball to catch the ball, didn't stop, turned around and made a jumper, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket. (16:15)

Caucasian, tall, accurate three-pointer, Radmanovic was used as a space-type insider in the Sonics, but he is not a space-type insider at all, with a general awareness of positioning and unqualified rebounding ability. A taller perimeter shooter.

The Lakers changed their defensive matchup, with Finley in charge of Radmanovic and Odom on Lewis.

Ridnor scored the ball after the pick-and-roll, and Lewis responded with a 45-degree dislocation on the left side and turned around for a jumper, scoring two points under the defense. 18 to 15.

Kobe played singles again, relying on Ray Allen to forcibly turn around and miss a shot, Jerome James grabbed a rebound to find his teammates, and Odom stole the thug.

Kobe was a bit over the top here, and Ke Yan shouted loudly from the sidelines, reminding Kobe to pass the ball more and not to be so anxious to attack.

Fortunately, Kobe adjusted quickly. He turned around and blocked Ray Allen on the defensive end. He made up for the hole he dug himself.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Ridnour was positioned to mark, Odom nailed the inside, and Jerome James and Radmanovich fanned him behind.

Kobe ran to Atkins to catch the ball, and immediately felt that Ray Allen was chasing him. He dribbled the ball in the opposite direction with an acceleration, and then made a super-curved reverse dribble, dodging past Ray Allen, straight Rushing to the inside, Jerome James immediately took a step forward when he saw this, ready to defend.

In the face of Jerome James' accurate blocking and blocking defense, Kobe slowed down his body in time, suddenly held the ball in his right hand and moved to the left, changed direction and dribbled it in front of Odom and Radmanovich, facing the pull Demanovic jumped and passed the ball to Odom next to him. The latter caught the ball, jumped up and held the basketball high, and easily put the ball into the basket. 18:17.

The Supersonics attacked again. Ray Allen dribbled the ball to the right 45-degree three-point arc, and suddenly accelerated obliquely. After taking a step, he was on the same shoulder as Kobe!Take another dribble of the ball, land on one foot and immediately take a step towards the inside line. As soon as the body hits the ground, he raises the ball and prepares to shoot.

Kobe was tricked into jumping up. When he jumped up, he found out that he was cheated. Before his feet landed, Ray Allen jumped up this time and easily hit the board into the basket.

In the second half of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams remained deadlocked.McMillan and Keyan, the two young coaches who have become famous this season, battled wits and courage, and neither of them gained the upper hand. The Sonics ended with a 28-point lead at 27:1.

In the second quarter of the game, the rotation lineups of both sides appeared on the stage, and the Lakers once again resorted to a small lineup, with House, Finley, Butler, Barnes, and Diop appearing together.

At the start of the game, Daniels broke through the inside and scored a layup as soon as he came up.

This combo guard is good at shooting, but also because of his excellent shooting ability, he passed House with a fake move and broke in. The Lakers' backup insider Diop had mediocre defense ability and was beaten by Daniels.

Daniels played the role of "Ray Allen" in the Sonics' bench lineup. On the Lakers side, Butler turned to the main attack point to suppress the opponent's flank. The shot hits. (30:29)

The Sonics team complained to the referee that Butler was suspected of hitting someone, but the referee did not say anything.

This Supersonic team was not favored before the season. In addition to the "poor and weak" record for many years, part of the reason is that the players' physical confrontation is very average.In terms of each position, perhaps only Lewis and Wilcox on the bench are considered to be physically gifted. The former is also good in size, coordination, and can be considered soft in confrontation.

House, Barnes, and Finley evacuated the Supersonics' interior defense, and Butler continued to attack, chasing and hitting hard, and the tossing Supersonics were very uncomfortable.

In the next round of offense and defense, Butler rushed into the inside of the Bucks again, forced a layup against Nick Collison's supplementary defense, and caused Collison to foul.

On the sidelines, Ke Yan also cheered for Ai Jiang's beautiful score.

The joining of Finley has reduced Butler's playing time, but it also made his responsibilities more clear. After the opening, he played the role of "Pippen" well, and did a good job of defending and attracting defense from the weak side. The second quarter opened Lead the bench to launch an impact.

For the "brave and foolish" Butler, this usage makes his performance more "efficient".

Butler made an extra free throw (30:32).

The Sonics attacked, and Daniels' continuous running position was stuck by the Lakers' defense, and Finley entangled him after his defense.Daniels played a pick-and-roll with Collison, and Finley and Barnes flanked Daniels, denying the latter an easy shot.

Daniels played the ball too slowly, Nixon had a long swing before the shot, Barnes barely shot after returning to his position, and missed. Finley, who retracted, took advantage of the situation to protect the rebound.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Sonics' offense has not improved. The advantage of the mobility of the Lakers' small lineup allows them to free up more energy on the defensive end to kill the Sonics' outside scoring points. The two insiders, Evans and Nixon, have no offensive threat at all. The former is known as a "rebound idiot" and knows how to grab rebounds. Defense, the ball is still in his hands.

After a wave of 13:6 attacks, the Lakers opened the point difference to 9 points.McMillan finally made personnel adjustments and replaced the main players.

The supersonic team's "thousand arrows" scoring speed is terrifying. Ke Yan did not dare to neglect, and also changed back to the main players. Before going on the court, he repeatedly told Kobe, "hold on, don't waste!"

In fact, the Lakers don't have the capital to wave.Returning to the first round of offense on the court, the Sonics dismantled the Lakers' defense through continuous off-ball pick-and-rolls. Lewis threw off Odom's defense, caught the ball at the free throw line, and made a two-point shot. (38:45)

Anderson made a quick shot from the bottom line, Kobe caught the ball and advanced quickly, caught the Sonics by surprise, Ray Allen couldn't stop Kobe with single defense, and watched Kobe score a layup.

Subtly, the Lakers players have developed the habit of "attacking them by surprise".

Compared with the Lakers' variety of scoring methods, the Sonics seem a bit rigid. Mid-range and long-range shots account for too much of the team's offense, which is very dependent on the player's touch.When the hand feeling explodes, you can "fire all arrows", and when the hand feel is not good, you can only be "borrowed by the straw boat" by the opponent.

The most frightening thing is that the Lakers are a team that is very good at "offensive and defensive transition". As long as you don't make a shot, the Lakers dare to push a quick counterattack.Occasionally, I am not afraid of being too impatient and making mistakes. The important thing is that the physical fitness of the Supersonic players is not as good as that of the Lakers, and the disadvantages of running and playing are magnified.

The greater the threat of the Lakers' counterattack, the more unstable the mentality of the Sonics players on the offensive end.For shooters, once the mentality fluctuates, the basket will keep up with the cover, and they will not make any shots.

Or outside shooting, or Lewis hitting the inside, the Sonics missed five consecutive offenses, the Lakers counterattacked consecutively, Kobe and Butler scored consecutive counterattacks, the Lakers opened the point difference to 17 points in one go, and hit the Super Sonics. Sonics.

When the team fell behind by a large score, the mentality of the Supersonic players tended to be stable, and they were able to grasp some opportunities that were not opportunities.

At this time, Ke Yan once again resorted to a small lineup of House, Finley, Kobe, Barnes, and Odom to expand the defensive area on the outside and flexibly move on the offensive end to attack the Supersonics. The supersonic counterattack was pushed back.

Ray Allen made an emergency stop and made a jumper.

Kobe made a strong dash into the interior to score and made a foul and added a penalty score.

Kobe Bryant and Butler's wolves and tigers rushed like a relay, which made the Sonics miserable.

At halftime, the Sonics trailed by 46 points 63:17.

In the first half of the game, Kobe made 19 shots, hit 12 of them, and scored 29 points.

In the advantageous game, Ke Yan did not prevent Kobe from continuing to occupy some shots in the second half, but the premise is that he can't mess around. For some opponents, the 17-point difference is a natural moat that is difficult to turn over, but this must not include the Supersonics. They are convulsed, It's still scary to explode!

However, after finding out the Sonics in this game, Ke Yan also had a new understanding of this opponent, and he also felt that the opponent was not that scary, at least for the Lakers, it was not as strong as it seemed.

Just like every defensive advantage of the Pistons can just limit the offensive strength of the Lakers, it is the natural enemy of the Lakers.The Sonics, against the Lakers, also felt tied up.

The Supersonic's offense mainly relies on wide-ranging interspersed running and frequent off-ball pick-and-rolls. If the situation cannot be opened, Ray Allen and Lewis will be allowed to play singles.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, Butler, Odom, and Anderson's forward-defense line is among the best in the league in terms of mobility.When the team needed it, they switched to a small lineup. Barnes' mobility at the [-]rd position, on top of the [-]th position, increased his mobility even more, and it was no problem to restrain the Sonics' offense.

Once Ray Allen and Lewis are successfully forced to choose singles, Ray Allen will not be able to take advantage of Kobe in singles, and Lewis is not an absolute offensive strength against Butler and Odom.

According to Ke Yan's calculations, if the two teams can meet in the playoffs, the Lakers' odds of winning are over [-]%!
