NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

The first game of the finals can be described as a disastrous defeat.

Lakers players are a bit frustrated...

After the game, there was also a quarrel in the away locker room. The players accused each other of their teammates for not passing the ball or moving!

In order to form the Big Four, the Lakers sacrificed a lot, and Kobe and O'Neal are the fig leaf of the Big Four. These two are still the league's top stars. It is because of these two that the Lakers made it all the way to the finals .

This is much better than last season. The Lakers did not make it to the Finals last season.

But when he met Wei Guo, a top star who was even more top-notch than O'Neal, this fig leaf was revealed.

This is only the first game of the finals, but the Lakers have no hope of winning the game at all.

finally...

The Zen master was furious, and the players stopped blaming each other.

Zen Master has carefully analyzed the Nets. This lineup is not impeccable. Hill has both offense and defense, but his state is indeed not as good as in his peak period. Mourning's playing time is also limited.

The team of the Nets played very well together, but Wei Guo was the only offensive strength.

As for defense, the Nets rely on a lot of strength, not all personal defensive ability. The Nets only have Wei Guo and Mourning as defensive champions.

Zen master sometimes thinks that if Payton is replaced by Kidd, he is confident that he will end the battle in six games, but unfortunately he cannot change, the Lakers cannot come up with corresponding bargaining chips, and the Magic will not agree to the transaction.

......

Two days later, the Zen master put away his messy thoughts.

This is the second game of the finals!

Every game in the finals is very important. If they can win an away game, the Lakers can gain home court advantage.

Zen master understood that this game could not rely solely on Kobe and O'Neal, so he had some private exchanges with several players before the game.

Just like the head teacher, before the exam, some students who are not performing well will be called out, and some private communication will be carried out. Of course... the head teacher likes this kind of communication, but the students who are called out like it or not don’t know.

However, unless it is a special student, after the head teacher talks, the student will correct the attitude of the exam and try to get a good result in the exam.

among other things...

Every player is very serious about warming up before the game.

Starting lineup for this game:

Lakers: Payton, Kobe, George, Malone, O'Neal

Nets: Tyronn Lue, Hill, Wei Guo, Ken Young, Mourning

Yes!

Tyronn Lue replaced Stockton as the starting player. The main reason was that Stockton had a little pain in his calf muscles after the last game. In order to protect him, Gentry let Stockton sit on the bench.

Not an injury watch either...

Just control Stockton's playing time. After all, the finals have just begun, and Stockton's role is still irreplaceable. Gentry doesn't want to have the situation of playing against the Pistons again, because it is too exciting. ..his old heart couldn't take it.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle sounded and the game began.

Tyronn Lue got the ball, Payton pressed directly, and almost broke the ball from Tyronn Lue!

What level of player is Payton?

Take a look at the Defensive Player of the Year winners of the 90s:

89~91: Rodman

91~92: Robinson

92~94: Olajuwon

94~95: Mutombo

95~96: Payton

96~98: Mutombo

98~00: Mourning

Being able to snatch a DPOY trophy from so many big men in the era of the four major centers is enough to show how strong Payton's defense is, and the title of "glove" is not called for nothing.

Payton suddenly became serious, Tyronn Lue almost made a mistake!

Fortunately, Hill helped Tylen Lue make a clearance. He took the basketball from Tyronn Lue and handed the ball to Weiguo.

Wei Guo stabilized the rhythm...

The beginning of the game does not reflect the strength of the Lakers' defense, but Payton's defensive attitude is much better than the previous game. Speaking of it...Payton was beaten by the teenager Parker in the second round against the Spurs, and later replaced by Kobe Only defending Parker alone cracked the pick-and-roll tactics of Parker and Duncan.

Now he is facing Tyronn Lue, Payton doesn't want to be blown up by Tyronnlue again, and the veteran wants to save face.

Ma Long stepped forward to defend the country!

This is the Zen master's defensive tactics. Ma Long has a deep resentment towards Wei Guo, and Ma Long's height and strength are not afraid of Wei Guo's status, but he is afraid that Wei Guo will break the pot.

"Ah..."

The corner of Wei Guo's mouth raised, and he changed direction two times. He broke through from Ma Long's left side. When Ma Long took a step back, Wei Guo made a jump shot!

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

2:0! ! !

Such a goal is within the control of the Lakers. No one expects Malone to limit Wei Guo's scoring to less than 20 points. connect them in series.

The Lakers' offense still uses the triangle offensive tactic.

Zen Master's triangle offensive tactic is very complicated, but the core of this tactic is that the team must have one or two superstars, so this tactic is more like a tactic tailored for players, and its applicability is not strong.

first game.

O'Neal scored 21 points, and Kobe scored 27 points. In this year's playoffs, most teams averaged only [-] points per game. Kobe and O'Neal can only be said to be qualified if they get this score. If they want to win the Nets, it is Far from enough.

If the Lakers want to win, O'Neal and Kobe must play better!

This game... It can be seen from the few offenses of the Lakers that O'Neal is in good condition.

Mourning failed to defend the front several times, allowing O'Neal to catch the ball and play in the low post. Kobe played for O'Neal many times.

It is difficult for O'Neal and Kobe to explode at the same time.

However, the two have high golf quotients, and they still have the cooperation they should have on the court. As for the relationship in the locker room, no one will bring this emotion into the finals.

The pace of the game is very slow...

13:16! ! !

Nine minutes into the first quarter, neither team scored 9 points.

The Nets have already replaced the substitute players, the Lakers did not have too many substitutions, Kobe and O'Neal are still on the court, they are the hope of the Lakers.

......

Wei Guo sat on the sidelines, but his teammates handed him drinks.

"Brother Wei, are you confident to win this match?"

"Ha ha..."

Wei Guo looked back at Zuo Lan, "If you come up, we will definitely win this game."

Zuo Lan scratched his head, "Brother Wei, do you trust my strength so much?"

Zoran is a rookie, and he still has a little playing time occasionally in the regular season. After the playoffs, he seems to be abandoned by the team. Even when Hill and Ken Young are absent, Zoran is also He didn't get any chance to play and was a marginalized figure in the team.

I didn't know that Wei Guo was making a joke, and Zuo Lan felt warm in his heart.

Boiled water has become sweet...

Zoran sat next to Cummings, "Just now the boss said that if I want to play, I will definitely win this game."

"correct!"

Cummings laughed: "You only get to play in garbage time."
