NBA: Garnett at his peak at the start

In the next round, Villanueva reached for the ball directly, and in the face of Qi Ming's taunts, he had to respond, and if he didn't, his mentality would explode.

Mike James also understood this, so he didn't say anything and directly handed the ball to Villanueva.

Villanueva's back-to-back skills are mediocre, so his attacking style is somewhat similar to those of blue-collar centers.

His left side leaned on Qi Ming, and his right side held the ball and dribbled, but because no one next to him interfered with his dribbling, he was relieved to dribble and then ...... He just threw the ball and ...... There seems to be something wrong with the course of the ball.

Qi Ming's big hand stretched out and directly "snapped" the ball cap.

"Strong, ......"

Qi said after the ball.

"That's your proof?"

Qi Ming continued.

Villanueva was speechless, he was blown up, and it was superfluous for him to say anything!

Then, the Raptors began to defend back, and the Lakers attacked by Kobe, and now there is only 1 minute left in the first quarter, and the Lakers still maintain a three-point difference, as long as there are no major problems...... The Lakers could certainly move into the second position with the lead.

Kobe Bryant faced Calderon and pushed him in directly with his back, and in the face of Calderon, a guard who was smaller than him and shorter than him, Kobe Bryant would never be afraid.

In the face of this kind of guard, Kobe Bryant has only one way to attack...... That's back singles.

Bryant pushed him into the left neutral zone and threw a jumper.

"Huh"

The ball went straight into the hollow net.

Calderon has a black line, he really doesn't want to defend against Kobe!

But there is no way, he is the strongest point guard of the Raptors, if he doesn't guard Kobe, then he can only let the small forward defend, but small forward Peterson He needs to guard against Odom.

Calderon can't defend against Kobe, let alone a forward like Odom, who can be inside and out!

In the next round, the Raptors attacked by Mike James and came to the basket, Mike James breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go to the basket directly, but Mime on the side reacted.

He jumped straight up and covered the ball.

But...... The accident happened, and after Mime fell, he broke his foot.

Then, the Lakers' team doctor immediately ran over, it was a minor foot injury, but he had to miss at least a little more than a month.

Qi Ming sighed, but there was nothing to be done, now this situation ...... It's impossible to get Mime on the field anymore.

The Zen master called Qi Ming's good friend Cook, who was supposed to play as a power forward, and was going to play as a center for a while!

As for Kwame Bulang and Bynum, it was because the Zen master did not trust them enough.

And it's not impossible for a short center like Cook to grab the board, and there's a little more ...... The Lakers' interior line also has Qi Ming, the "rebounding king"!

Then, the race resumes with 23 seconds left.

Now, the Lakers hold a five-point lead, because after the Mime block, the rebound was collected by Villanueva on the Raptors' side, so the next round will be attacked by the Raptors!

This shot is crucial, because if they can't catch up with a few points, it will be even more difficult for the Raptors in the second quarter.

The ball came to Mike James, who kept his eyes on the timer, and because the clock was only 23 seconds, he wanted to throw a whistle ball directly.

The Lakers didn't mean to foul, because it wasn't about shooting a kill, and there was no need to foul and steal the ball......

Mike James watched the dwindling time and kept running, and finally with 3 seconds left, he took advantage of Villanueva's block to shoot the ball directly.

However, the ball hit the iron directly, and the first quarter of the game ended.

The Lakers temporarily lead the Raptors by 5 points at 31:26!

......

Bosh sat on the bench, but he was quite happy in his heart, the center was replaced by Cook and he was in the opposite position, now he is much more comfortable, facing a center like Mime, his height and reach do not have any advantage at all.

But Cook's 2.06-meter power forward is the center ...... He still has a good chance of beating Cook.

Now Bosh is already sharpening his knife to the pigs and sheep, and Mime is injured, which is a godsend.

He wants to lead the Raptors to defeat the Lakers and become famous!

On the Lakers' side

The Zen master still asked Cook to continue to play the center, but Qi Ming was a little reluctant, and now it is better to give Bynum more opportunities in this situation.

The center position is similar to that of a power forward, but not identical, and they are very different in some places.

Like what......

Centers need to score and grab rebounds more on the inside, and generally that kind of space center needs a big forward to top the center...... But Cook isn't a space center.

If Cook is a spatial center, then the Lakers can execute more tactics, because Qi Ming can play the center position.

It's also important to note that a lot of power forwards and heavy centers are very difficult to match.

......

Overall, the Lakers' current lineup is not particularly suitable for the Lakers' tactics!

However, Qi Ming did not persuade the Zen master, because ...... It is only when a person realizes that he has failed that he will completely correct these things.

A Zen master is also a human being, and these things are equally useful to him.

But don't blame him, the Lakers' lineup is rushing to win the championship, and it's understandable that he doesn't want to give the rookie more playing time.

However, there are times when he does need to change a little, after all, Bynum can ...... Lead the Lakers to take this lineup one step further!

It's just that he's too young.

As for Cook, Qi Ming has a good relationship with him, so Qi Ming has nothing to say.

In the second quarter, Qi Ming was ready to take a step at a time.

If he really can't do it, he will play center.

However, during the period of Mime's absence, Bynum is really likely to fight for the top position.

After all, Meme is only a role player, and if Bynum can show his 80% strength, there is a good chance that Bynum will be placed in the starting position.

In the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Kobe Bryant with Vujasic, Odom for George, and the other three did not change.

Now the Lakers' side is ...... Parker + Vujacic + George + Qi Ming + Cook!

The Raptors, on their side, traded Peterson to Jalen Rose, and the other four remained unchanged.

Point guard Mike James, point guard Calderon, small forward Jalen Rose...... Bosh plays center and Villanueva plays power forward.
