ESPN once again fielded a commentary lineup of Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Brin in G4. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them held the microphone and told all kinds of unreliable media opinions before the game on the sidelines of the warm-up training of the two teams.

However, the three of them have the same opinion on the Hawks' tactics today - the Hawks will definitely stick to the joint defense and lock Kobe Bryant.

The three blurted out this almost at the same moment.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "I can't think of a possibility that Woodson will not have to defend together. You know, the Lakers don't have a way to effectively deal with the Hawks' joint defense tactics right now.

Although many people said that in the last game, the Lakers did not withstand the Hawks' small-ball lineup at critical moments, the Hawks' defense in the second half was consistent, and they were using joint defense to strangle the Lakers' most important scoring point. That's what the Eagles won. ”

Van Gundy Jr., nicknamed his brother-in-law by some Celestial Dynasty fans, has been a smooth ride at ESPN since stepping down as head coach of the Rockets.

It seems that compared to the work of the head coach, he is happier and happier in the commentary bench, and with his humorous words, he has also become the favorite commentator of the whole rice audience.

ESPN's arrangement for him to narrate the finals is the best proof of this.

The warm-up of the players of both teams ended quickly.

The G4 battle started in a hustle and bustle.

Ruan Erniu and Gasol jumped high and touched the basketball at the same time, but in the end, it was the more powerful Erniu who dialed the ball to their own camp.

Bibby received the basketball and advanced to the halfcourt.

Embarrassment Sen held the ball outside and shot a three-point shot at Kobe Bryant, but missed!

Ruan Erniu squeezed away Gasol and Odom, won the frontcourt rebound, and before he could jump, he was slapped on the hand by Odom.

"Smack!" Erniu lost the basketball under the vigorous slap.

It was clearly a foul in the conventional sense, but the referee ignored it and the tone of the game was set, which was to let the players solve the problem themselves.

Erniu hurriedly returned to the defense and did not complain to the referee, he touched the referee's scale in the first goal of the opening game.

Judging from the past few games, the league has not intervened much in the game, which means that this game is basically a defensive battle between the two teams.

Kobe Bryant shot at the embarrassment, and the range of the embarrassment was not small, and Kobe Bryant shot the iron.

Erniu took the backcourt rebound and passed to Bibby.

……

Both teams didn't break the scoreless situation in the first 2 minutes, and the two big duck eggs hung high on the scoreboard, and it was not known which side they were mocking.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "There must be a crowd that is drowsy, but there is no way around it, the Finals are like that, you have to follow through with iron-clad defense. ”

Shortly after Van Gundy's words fell, the Lakers finally broke the parity, and Odom used his guard skills to shake off Marvin Williams and hit a mid-range jumper.

In the face of North Carolina Dashao, the left-handed magician is more and more experienced, and he can always use flexible skills to deal with opponents.

Kobe Bryant then tried to shoot twice, but he didn't feel good, and he hit the iron continuously, so he had to completely hand over the offensive rights in the first quarter.

This exchange completely unleashed Odom's offensive firepower.

Odom held the ball high and after a tentative step, he took Marvin in stride and then threw a one-handed shot past Erniu's defense to score.

Odom again, the horn position catches the ball with his back, directly turns over and throws a jumper, hit!

Odom broke the ball in the middle, hit the basket directly, and dunked it violently!

Odom cuts to the basket and scores on a pass from Bryant.

Odom blocked for Kobe, received the ball from mid-range, and made a jumper.

Throughout the first quarter, Odom made 6 of 6 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points in a single quarter with a 100% shooting rate, leading the Lakers to a 14-35 lead over the Atlanta Hawks by 21 points to end the first quarter.

Woodson called two timeouts, but to no avail.

An angry Woodson smashed the plastic tactical board, this is not the Atlanta Hawks he led, the team seemed to be under a spell, and was suppressed by the Lakers in the first quarter.

Marvin Williams, Zaza Pachuria, and even Erniu finally helped to defend, but in the end they couldn't stop Odom's magical play.

Johnson, the magician on the sidelines, also laughed from ear to ear, joking: "Lamar performed so well today, he must still be distracted, but God has come to him." ”

Although Bryant only scored 3 points from free throws in the first quarter, he dished out four assists in a single quarter, three of which were for Odom.

The Lakers threw their strongest punch in a desperate situation, and the Hawks couldn't react and were knocked to the ground.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 5 points in the first quarter and 4 boards, said dissatisfiedly: "Guys, wake up and this is the finals, we haven't won the championship yet." ”

Erniu regretted a little, when everyone felt bad, he should have stepped up and taken over the game. G3 won too smoothly, and he was a little careless.

After Woodson was angry, he stabilized his emotions, and he said to Ruan Erniu: "Kraft, you will defend Odom in the second quarter, do you understand what I mean?"

Erniu nodded immediately, Woodson's eyes were extremely stern, and the egg head was also anxious.

The next moment, Woodson said to Marvin Williams: "I'm not going to replace you, Marvin, you go to Pau Gasol, I ask you, can you do it?"

Marvin Williams also nodded quickly and said loudly: "I must be able to!"

"It's nothing to be down by 21 points, we're not going to change our playbook, Kobe Bryant is passing, but his shot selection is still terrible, and the rest of the Lakers aren't being consistent in their shooting percentage," Woodson said.

At the critical moment, they still have to rely on Kobe's strength to solve the problem, and at that time, it is our chance to fight back. ”

Mike Woodson has also been upgraded!

After Dantou has powerful players such as Erniu, Embarrassment, Bibi, and Lunar Eclipse, his own vision has also improved.

He was originally a staunch and tenacious conservative, and he just didn't believe that the Lakers would completely treat Kobe Bryant as a passer.

The Lakers are not the Nets or the Mavericks, and Kobe Bryant is not Kidd.

Kidd can't shoot, as long as other players do, the team can win.

If Kobe Bryant can't shoot, the probability of the Lakers winning will be greatly reduced, because Kobe's efficiency represents the Lakers' efficiency.

As long as this black mamba continues to cling to his difficult shooting options, the Lakers will leak holes sooner or later.

Woodson firmly believed this, so his defensive strategy in the second quarter remained unchanged, locking up Kobe, even if to a certain extent, loosening his defense against other Lakers players.

Egghead just doesn't believe that the rest of the Lakers players can fit in with a Kobe Bryant who leads their offense, not Kobe Bryant, who leads them.

Embarrassment covered his mouth and said to Erniu, "Do you think Mike is right?"

Ruan Erniu also said in a low voice: "Isn't it important? Now we can't shake, we are all so far behind, if we shake the predetermined defensive tactics again, we are very likely to collapse, and we can only have a hard top to the end." ”

What Erniu said is not wrong at all, players are fighting hard to play on the field, and once this breath is dispersed, it will be really weak.

It's not terrible to fall behind by 21 points in a single quarter, denying yourself and losing confidence is the harbinger of collapse.
