The Nets' possession of the ball, after holding the ball over half court, Billups passed the ball to Ji Liang.

In the horn area, Chi Liang received the ball with both hands and put on a three-threat posture, AC Green did not dare to grab, he is 36 years old, he may be able to resist Chi Liang's back, but there is an obvious gap in speed and flexibility, he can only take a step away from Chi Liang, ready to take measures at any time.

For the first time, Ji Liang raised his hands, bent his knees, and lifted his body up, making a gesture that he wanted to shoot.

Due to the fear of Chi Liang's projection ability, coupled with O'Neal sitting in the penalty area, AC Green immediately stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to stop Chi Liang.

Just as he stepped forward, Ji Liang withdrew the basketball, took a step with his right foot, and immediately made a breakthrough, passing AC Green in one step.

AC Green wanted to chase after him, but his speed was too slow, and when Ji Liang rushed into the penalty area, he had already opened up two steps away from AC Green.

Chirping~

Before O'Neal helped defend, Chi Liang stepped on the floor hard, and the soles of his shoes rubbed against the floor, and he rose from the ground and shot the basketball softly.

O'Neal was a step slower, but he still jumped up, hoping to interfere with Ji Liang's shot.

Brush~

Basketball hollow into the net!

When the Lakers attacked, O'Neal once again strengthened O'Neal Jr. and scored the ball easily.

In the opening stage, O'Neal Jr. was abused twice in a row by O'Neal, and in order to stop O'Neal, Coach Rivers came to the sidelines and motioned for Chi Liang to wrap O'Neal.

This is O'Neal, his physical advantage is so great that almost no one can limit his play, even Ben Wallace in later generations, he can only reduce his shooting percentage.

Faced with the bag of Chi Liang and O'Neal Jr., O'Neal did not continue to play strongly, but distributed the ball and passed the ball to AC Green, who was not far away.

At this time, AC Green was in the open position, and he took the opportunity to make a layup.

"It's not easy to do!"

Chi Liang shook his head, how to defend Ao Fat is a big problem in the NBA, single defense can't prevent it at all, and Bao Jian is afraid of Ao Fat dividing the ball, his vision is broad, although the passing level is average, but as long as it is passed, it can basically form an easy opportunity to score.

Just like leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade and playing next to the peak Ao Fat, the player's efficiency value will often increase. And what if you play next to Kobe Bryant...... Forget it, don't talk about it!

With Fat Attracting Defense, the rest of the Lakers' players have become fairly easy and always have easy scoring opportunities, which also leads to their efficiency in hitting the basket.

On the other hand, the Nets, even if Chi Liang organized the offense, their efficiency was still not high, and they played three games in four days, which affected their state and physical fitness.

After a few rounds, the Lakers had a tendency to overpower the Nets, and the difference between the two sides began to widen.

"Run, get up to the tempo!" Coach Rivers is very helpless, no matter who has a good way to deal with the peak O'Neal, he can only hope to run to death and consume O'Neal's physical strength as much as possible.

As for the shark slashing tactic, the game has just started and is not suitable.

Ao Pang weighs nearly 300 pounds, although he is flexible enough and his speed is not slow, but such a huge body will definitely consume far more energy than ordinary people.

Since O'Neal can't be restrained, let's speed up the pace of the game and consume O'Neal's physical strength.

Of course, it is also possible to run to death first.

Under the instructions of Coach Rivers, O'Neal Jr. chose to serve quickly and passed the ball to Ji Liang, who had already started.

AC Green wanted to catch up, but he was too slow to stop him, Kobe Bryant reacted immediately, and immediately rushed towards Ji Liang, wanting to slow him down.

Just when Kobe Bryant acted, Ji Liang did not stick to the ball, and quickly split the ball and ran past Billups in the middle circle.

The aging Harper was similarly unfast and had been thrown away by Billups, who strode forward and eventually scored on a layup.

The Lakers naturally have weaknesses, O'Neal may be able to keep up, but AC Green is too slow, and it is easy for other players to throw away the distance, and then form a local 5-4 situation.

In the following time, as long as it is in the offensive link, the Nets will mostly choose to break fast, and often complete the offense in less than ten seconds.

Unfortunately, due to the impact of the state, the Nets players have a poor feel and the scoring efficiency is always not high.

On the other hand, the Lakers are still playing steadily, using triangle tactics to open up space and give stars the best space to play alone.

When it comes to triangle offense, a lot of people think it's just nice to say, but it's actually just giving the ball to a superstar like Jordan or O'Neal to make a shot. Later, Cardinal Auerbach once mocked the Zen master Jackson: "He will pick up cheap, he will only coach superstars, and rely on superstars to win championships, his triangle tactics look really average, and there is no value at all." ”

In fact, the triangle tactic is indeed inseparable from a very strong and finishing point, whether it is Jordan, O'Neal or the future Kobe Bryant can easily do it, and then several other people help them create shooting space to score the ball, which also leads to everyone having a fixed space, so when playing one, it is often not deeply trapped.

Under the gap in efficiency, although the Nets increased the tempo, the difference between the two sides not only did not narrow, but was slowly widened.

15:22

By the time the official timeout, the Lakers had built a seven-point advantage.

During the official timeout, the two sides tacitly sent a replacement lineup.

In addition to O'Neal Jr. and Billups, the Nets also fielded Armstrong, Margetty and Cage, who were no less powerful than some teams' starting lineups.

On the other side, Ao Fat went to rest, and Kobe Bryant swept the lineup for the replacement, wanting to stabilize the point difference.

When the timeout ended, Armstrong began to explode, breaking through Fisher again and again, using his individual ability to tear through the defense, combining breaking, shooting and passing, leading the Nets to a wave of climaxes.

Compared to the Lakers, except for the quarterback position, the Nets have the upper hand in all other positions, which also gives them the upper hand.

The current Kobe Bryant has not yet reached his peak, although his personal ability is very strong, but Billups's defense is not bad, and the efficiency of singles is not very high.

In this situation, the Nets began to gain the upper hand and began to close the gap.

Honk~

Soon, the buzzer sounded, marking the end of the first quarter of the game.

In just four minutes, the Nets scored 13 points, while the Lakers only scored seven, which also led to the Lakers holding only a one-point advantage after the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Ji Liang played nine minutes and scored 6 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and two turnovers.

"Chi Liang, Cage, you must protect the backcourt rebounds!"

Before the players came on the court, Coach Rivers made a special statement that it was related to their failure to protect defensive rebounds in the first quarter. At that time, O'Neal Jr. was not in shape, and Chi Liang had to be distracted to be fat again, judging from the data in the first quarter, the Lakers had an obvious advantage in rebounding, including offensive rebounds.

Ji Liang and Cage nodded, the team was already in poor shape, and if the Lakers grabbed more offensive rebounds, it would be a disaster.
