"The game was very intense from the start, and in less than half a quarter, the Indiana Pacers had two technical fouls."

"If you want me to say that this is Larry Brown's conspiracy, he wants to scare the young Lakers, but unfortunately by chance, his own player left the court with an injury." Kobe Bryant's elbow movements didn't even notice the magician.

"Larry Brown is very old, he's ready for the Lakers, and it's going to be a tough battle."

At this time, a black man in a luxury apartment in San Francisco subconsciously covered his ankles.

"Damn Kobe, he did it on purpose, he definitely did it! This is a murder! ”

Bryant hit two free throws as the Pacers replaced Davis with Derrick McKay, who replaced Davis as power forward. The 2.06m, '87-year-old No. 9 pick is also a very defensive player.

In Larry Brown's lineup, unless you have the game-changing offensive ability like Reggie Miller and Allen Iverson, other players have to have good defense. He likes to stock up on a bunch of defensive players both inside and outside.

So even if Dale Davis is replaced, Derrick McKay can still keep the team's defense from slipping.

Defending Reggie Miller was Bruce Bowen, whom Kobe Bryant sneaked into.

"Bruce, I give you permission to do whatever it takes to keep Miller at bay." You are unkind and unjust, Kobe Bryant intends to lift the seal for the big black hand of Bruce Bowen. What will be the consequences of unblocking, Kobe Bryant does not know. Will a devil be unleashed? Or is it the angel of the team?

Bryant was talking with his mouth covered, fearing that the lip expert would crack his statement. The image of a bright and talented boy will be affected.

Bowen's eyes lit up, can he defend as best he can? In particular, the opponent's ferocious defense of Kobe and Jones made his hands itch.

"Understood." There is no need to say much, Kobe Bryant and Bowen are all in it.

The camera captured this shot.

"What did our wonder boy and his teammates say?" Goodrich was curious.

"Eighty percent is to let teammates defend well, Kobe Bryant will never ask Bowen to attack."

The Magic guessed wrong, in Kobe's opinion, the best defense is offense!

Instead of waiting for Larry Brown to continue to shoot, take the initiative!

Bowen was looking for an opportunity, and Reggie Miller was exposed.

The game continued, the Trail Blazers still played dull defensive basketball, stubbornly holding down the rhythm, not letting the Lakers get up, in terms of scoring explosiveness, the Lakers are the only one this season, and they often play a wave in the game to take away the opponent.

This is one. In a meat grinder-like battle, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal played a little hard, although they could score, but their efficiency and physical consumption were very large. The Indiana Pacers' defense is very goaly indeed.

The Lakers' offense relied on Kobe Bryant's breakaway shots and O'Neal's basket containment to score a lot of points, but compared to the Lakers' dominant offensive performance against other teams, this game was completely different.

If the Lakers' offensive performance in the first 20 games of the season was 90 points, then this Indiana limited the Lakers to 70 points!

Although it passed, it was not excellent.

Kobe Bryant took the initiative to attack a lot, and this game Larry Brown put the team's main defensive focus on Kobe. Standing outside the three-point line, there is Travis Best pressing, and there will be players to help defend immediately after the break, and the defense is very heavy. Bryant can only shoot from mid-range before the help defense is in place, or attract open players who divide the ball after the defense.

The Indiana Pacers' offense is also very tough, although they have a height and size advantage over the Lakers, and the Lakers are not strong players except for O'Neal, and they don't have blue-collar muscle clubs. They pressed into the box and shot, even if the shooting percentage was not high, they always scored.

And this kind of shot greatly consumes the physical energy of the Lakers, and the continuous restricted area is in the position, and the interior defense consumes the physical energy of the players very much.

At the end of the first quarter, the Indiana Pacers 16:19 Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers scored 19 points, eight of which were scored from free throws, and scored just five goals in the entire quarter.

The Lakers started the second quarter with 5 up and 5 down for the bench.

Larry Brown smiled slightly, and everyone didn't move! No substitutions, my team has no rest!

No matter how you rest, I won't let my players rest anyway.

In particular, the team doctor told that Dale Davis was fine and could return to the field at any time. Larry Brown is even more determined to keep all starters ready to play the full 40 minutes!

The Lakers' bench faces their strongest challenge this season.

The Indiana Pacers who started all the time against the Lakers bench!

"Xiaoyu, it's up to you!" Bowen patted Fisher on the back and handed over the task of defending Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller didn't take a lot of shots in the first quarter, he was waiting for an opportunity.

But you can't let such a historic pitcher go on offense, you need to keep an eye on him all the time! That's how the pitcher helps the team attack, and even if you don't attack, you can still win space for the team.

"No problem!" Fisher has a brute strength that is not afraid of heaven and earth! Even if the other party is Reggie Miller, he is not afraid at all.

Fisher has always been very confident in his defence!

"Guys, watch out for your opponent's small moves." Kirtlambis reminded.

However, rational analysis, the Indiana Pacers will not pay fouls on the Lakers' bench, their defensive intensity will decrease, but the offense will be more decisive.

"Hopefully you won't have nightmares." Reggie Miller smiled wickedly at Fisher, shot when he caught the ball, opened his hand, and hit a three-point shot.

Reggie Miller grinned and gestured behind the referee's back in a throat-slitting gesture.

Fisher shuddered, and he somewhat understood why Bruce Bowen had a phobia of superstars.

Nick Van Axel advanced with the ball and handed it to Horry, who and Fisher crossed hands.

There was a moment of confusion in the Pacers' defense, Fisher found an opportunity, and also hit a three-pointer!

The Lakers bench is boiling! This response ball is too hard!

"Only one man will give me nightmares! Apparently it's not you! ”

The Lakers' defense off the bench exceeded Larry Brown's expectations, and although they were at a disadvantage, they were able to fight back repeatedly.

Lasted until the starter, and was only overtaken much.

Pacers 34:31 Lakers.

With seven minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers starters returned to the court.

Fisher contributed seven points and three assists in just five minutes of playing time, and although he didn't guard Reggie Miller, his firepower blasted a gap in the Pacers' solid defense.
