The Warriors relied on misplaced offense to gain the upper hand, with Margeti becoming the main point of attack.

In the last game, the old Nelson arranged Margeti to attack boldly, but he didn't play, and this one was much better.

Fisher is also in good physique, and has a strong advantage in the face of defenders, but Margeti is definitely not the second position, compared to the famous Mangman Bonch? Wells is also one size older.

Without Bynum, the Lakers' containment in the low post has become weaker. Odom prefers to pull out the hoop to dodge the hit, and Gasol doesn't often hit the basket. Don't underestimate Bynum, you must have personal defense when standing under the basket, otherwise Gasol may score a goal with an inside cross. Now Marion's lack of ability to defend the basket is masked.

Phil at 4 minutes? Jackson asked for a timeout, because Kobe Bryant made 4 shots under the strict defense of Zhou Xuan and Marion, and only hit 1 dunk, which was a bit bad to play like this.

Kobe Bryant stood on the court with his head down, took his teammate's towel and wiped his face, as if he was about to put the water cooler manager Adam? Morrison killed. Listening to Zhou Xuan recite a difficult scripture, if Kobe Bryant had been exposed to gamma rays, he would have transformed and started to destroy the earth.

The "Zen Master" said loudly: "Calm down, although Andrew was sent off, but you can't mess up because of him, we are still very strong, the first thing to do is not to fall into the rhythm of the warriors." Kobe, don't shoot yourself, go to the low post to attack, or pass to Paul (Gasol) and hold on. ”

It's passed to Gasol again, you trust Gasol so much, why don't you let me attack with all my might? After listening to Jackson's arrangement, one of the words that came to Kobe's mind was "hugging his thighs." He seemed to be able to hear Zhou Xuan chattering in his ears. (Brainwashed by Brother Xuan).

Old Nelson was very satisfied with the performance of the players, and did not ask Turiaf what was going on, he had vaguely guessed that it was related to Zhou Xuan, and he asked Turiaf to communicate with Zhou Xuan before the game, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

After the timeout, the two sides fought again, and the Warriors had the upper hand. They are no longer trapped, they just rely on single defense, and Randolph in the low post is against Gasol. After Kobe Bryant blocked and dismantled, Jackson and Marion switched defenses at any time, and the defense of Ariza and Odom was not very strict.

Odom has always been known for his all-round skills, with the ability to shoot from mid-to-long range, the ability to dribble and break through, and the ability to score singles with flexible footwork under the basket, but his strength is a little worse than that of many interior muscle men. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, so when he encounters a slow and strong opponent, he pulls to the outside and breaks through with speed and skill; When he encounters an opponent who is fast and weak, he will press to the bottom position and go to the singles.

However, with the rise of Bynum and the arrival of Gasol in the past two seasons, Odom has nothing to do in the low post. The long period of time on the periphery caused him to make the same mistakes as Margeti, and his ability to play in the low post deteriorated. Now when the team wants to use him in the low post, he is no longer sure. Marion defended him a lot easier than it did against Gasol in the low post.

In the first quarter, the Warriors defended very well, only Gasol was slightly easier when facing Randolph in the low post, he turned around and hooked his hand in the low post, and made a jump shot after blocking and dismantling in the high post, all of which ensured a good shooting rate, scoring 12 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points, but only scored one goal in the athletic battle, and the other 4 points came from free throws.

Zhou Xuan played well, scoring 4 points and dishing out 4 assists. Margeti scored 10 points. The Warriors led by seven points at 31-24.

In the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench, Odom continued to play, and Gasol came off the bench. If Bynum had remained on the court, he would have added a point of firepower and would have defended better, which would have only allowed Powell more playing time.

Powell is strong, only 206cm tall, and averages 4 per game in the regular season. 2 points and 3 rebounds, after entering the playoffs, his playing time was shortened, only 2. 1 point 1. 2 rebounds.

The Warriors are without Turiaf, but there are still people on the inside who can be used, Anthony? Randolph came on as a center forward, Margeti as a big forward, Azubuuk on the outside, Morrow, Ellis. The Warriors were very mobile, with three pitchers outside in the positional battle, and Ellis and Randolph playing pick-and-rolls to break through.

Shannon? Brown and Famar's combined offense was okay, but they couldn't stop the Warriors' offense, and they fought back more resolutely in this quarter, running and shooting in 7 seconds, or even completing an attack in 5 seconds. No matter who is defending in front, there are several people who are defending and breaking through directly. The score quickly stretched to 13 points. The Lakers called a timeout again.

After returning from the timeout, the "Zen Master" thought of a way to let Kobe Bryant play early, replace Wharton, and strengthen the offense.

Nelson Sr. also anticipated that the opponent might send a star on the court, so Azubuke and Jackson had the duo wrap up Kobe Bryant. At this time, Gasol was not there, Kobe Bryant chose not to pass the ball in the face of the bag, but to attack by himself, he didn't believe in the shooting ability of Famar and Brown at all, not to mention Powell, standing under the basket and waiting to grab the frontcourt rebound, generally can't grab it.

Kobe Bryant shot 2 of 6 in the second quarter, although he scored, he shot in a very difficult situation, and there was a ball that couldn't find space to shoot under the bag, and he made a mistake in jumping up and passing, and was stolen by Ellis to launch a fast break.

Zhou Xuan and Ellis formed a backcourt double gun, widening the difference to 19 points. They led 65-46 in the first half.

Barkley said: "There were always people who said that Bynum was disappointing, the Glass Man, who missed many games every season, and after this season, the Lakers shouldn't give him a contract extension with a high salary. But now it is more important to see his role. I said before that the Lakers were the first in the league on the inside, but without Bynum, I don't think they would be the first. The Warriors can already compete with them on the inside. Randolph, Marion are strong. ”

Smith said: "Bynum first fouled Turyaf viciously, got into an argument and then threw a punch, but I'm afraid it's not that this game can't be played. His personality is really very bad. The foul against the Bobcats in the regular season should not have been forgotten. ”

Barkley laughed: "The Warriors said that Gasol was the core, and Kobe Bryant obviously wanted to prove himself, but he chose the worst way, and he had already made 15 shots in the half, hit 3 shots, and only scored 11 points on free throws. 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line. Gasol returned to the court in the second quarter and took just two shots inside to score two points. Gasol's opponent is Randolph, and he may also play Zhou Xuan and Jackson after misplacement, and it will be more efficient to play him, but Kobe Bryant chose to challenge the bag. ”

On the CCTV5 side, the hardcore fan commentator Zhang Lili couldn't stand it anymore, he said: "When everyone else can't do it, Kobe can only play by himself, the Warriors are very powerful, and Kobe is too difficult to play." ”

Yu Jia said: "I think Bynum's fouling has an impact on the Lakers, but it's not particularly big, after all, there is Odom. Since heading into the playoffs, Odom has always played more minutes than Bynum. And the loss of Turyaf will have little impact on the Warriors' offense. Originally, he was only blue-collar, unable to play 20 minutes a game, and only averaged 12 minutes per game in the playoffs. The Lakers are not easy to do. ”

Zhang Li said: "Now the Warriors are defending very well, while the Lakers' defense has a big problem, they always leak people, and only Kobe Bryant is running at the expense of physical strength, supplementing and assisting in defense, which is not good, and other players must stand up." ”

At this time, TNT Radio also happened to talk about the defensive problems in the first half. CCTV5 and they don't seem to be watching a game.

Barkley said: "Bryant's biggest problem today was not forcing his shots against the pack, but his defensive approach and attitude seemed to be off. He had three steals on the court, but in the first half today, he easily reached out several times when defending, and wanted to break the ball several times, and even casually went to help his teammates to assist in defense and packing, and leaked his own people, and assisting in defense means that there is a defensive gap. Zhou Xuan had 5 assists in the second quarter, 3 of which came from this way, and two came from the fast break. Kobe's arbitrariness can easily make the Lakers' defensive formation porous, and teammates often need to fill him. If he can't concentrate on defending 100 percent of the time, then I think the fourth quarter will quickly turn into garbage time. ”

"The NBA's best steal player averages 2 to 3 steals per game in a season, and 80 offensive and defensive transitions in a game, at least, the odds of stealing the ball are too small," Smith said. If the core of the team is so casual, then other people can follow suit. So if the Lakers want to change, they must start with Kobe. Kobe Bryant's over-shooting? I don't think it's a big deal. Kobe Bryant himself is the best offensive player in the league, and if you don't give him more shots, who are you going to give it to? ”

"Pass the ball to Gasol!" In the locker room, the "Zen master" shouted to Kobe. He had already said it before the game, but it seemed to be plain that Kobe Bryant had entered "offensive mode" again, or it was a magic barrier.

After talking about the triangle offensive tactics, Jackson walked over to Bynum and reprimanded him loudly. "Are you crazy, what kind of grudge does Ronnie have with you? He's your former teammate, it's just a matter of fouling him, why do you have to give him two punches, how many games do you have to ban this time? ”

Brian? Shaw had already gone back to the locker room with Bynum, understood the situation, and interjected: "Ronnie spat at him in the face, and we didn't see it at the distance, so he was in a hurry." ”

The situation was far worse than expected, and Bynum's mouth was not closed at that time, and the foaming stars were all in his mouth, how disgusting it was was unimaginable.

Jackson didn't say anything, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack. Not only him, but the Lakers' veteran players guessed that this might be a deliberate provocation, and Brian Shaw glanced at Divac as if to say, "Look at the good apprentice you taught." ”

Divac was also a little puzzled, weren't the best learners Kobe and Vujacic the best? Turyaf actually came from behind.
