The first game of the finals!

Kobe Bryant got 31 points and 6 assists on 10-of-25 shooting, just 40 percent shooting, Yao Ming shot 9 of 17, and played very well, but like O'Neal in 04, he was fighting the trapped beast, scoring 25 points and 8 boards, and Odom got 17 points and 14 boards on 7-of-13 shooting.

The three stars of the Lakers played well on the offensive end, scoring 73 points together, and the Lakers also scored 101 points as a team, playing quite well against the Hawks' defense.

The Lakers' rotation performance on the offensive end against the Hawks' defense was really good, and in the face of the Hawks' ferocious defense, they played an offensive performance far beyond when they met the Hawks in the regular season.

But the Lakers were given 127 points by the Hawks!

127-101, the Hawks played the Lakers in the first game and played a bloody slaughter!

Liu Mang scored 38 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 14-of-24 shooting, Maddy scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists on 6-of-12 shooting, Rasheed Wallace hit 3 three-pointers and scored 16 points, Jason Terry had 15 points and 4 assists, Kwame Brown had 8 points and 12 boards, and the Hawks were high! got 26 assists and scored 127 points!

The Hawks, who didn't expect it to be so advantageous, because they had just played the Heat team with Wade and O'Neal, and they had a tough time.

The Lakers have a similar configuration, a super guard, a super center, and a panacea that can play from one to five, and judging from the current fame, the Lakers' three-core seems to be a little more powerful.

The main thing is that the Heat played too well, giving the Hawks pressure and motivation to respond to it, and the Hawks coaching staff racked their brains to plan offensive tactics against the Lakers' defense, so to speak, all aspects were considered, and then played a ferocious offensive frenzy.

Although the Lakers also played a good efficiency against the Hawks' defense, they lost suspense after the third quarter, and the Hawks led by up to 33 points.

The earth-shattering first game caused a sensation after the game!

Two days before the start of the finals, how exaggerated and exaggerated the publicity of this finals is, the drug combination of the 26-year-old Yao Ming and the soon-to-be-28-year-old Kobe Bryant is going to start dominating the NBA like the OK combination, after all, the two are of the same age, and they are both beginning to enter their peak.

But when it came time to play, he was pressed and beaten by the 73-win Eagles, and he didn't have the strength to fight back!

Zen Master reluctantly said after the game that this is the worst talent of the team he coached to reach the finals, and the following games will study how to deal with the situation encountered in the first game.

When the sensation brought by the Hawks' crazy performance in the first game cooled down, people changed from the mentality of complaining about the lineup at the beginning, to calmly and carefully comparing why the Lakers and the Hawks' last opponent, the Heat, had such a big difference in performance, and then they understood that compared with the Lakers and the Heat, maybe Kobe Bryant is a little better than Wade, but Wade has a body hair whistle, Kobe Bryant does not.

Yao Ming and O'Neal, counting half a catty, now Yao Ming has stronger scoring ability under the basket, a wider shooting range, O'Neal has better defense and better rebounding protection, judging from Yao Ming's first game, the two are evenly matched.

Odom also has a slight advantage over Antoine Walker.

But other positions, the Heat are much better than the Lakers!

Wang Zhizhi, a very good role player, has a 73 ability evaluation, and he has played his characteristics under the hands of the Zen master, can pass and shoot, but compared with Haslem, Wang Zhizhi still has a certain gap, mainly the gap on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, Wang Zhizhi is more contained, and he has a 39% three-point shooting rate so far in his career.

Luke Wharton vs. Posey...... Fisher vs. Jason Williams...... Vujacic vs. Payton ...... All-round disadvantages......

People are wondering, how did the Lakers make it to the Finals?

Take a look at the stats of Kobe Bryant and Yao Mingxi, and look at the stats of Odom averaging a triple-double of two assists per game in the second round...... It's easy to understand, just rely on the "Big Three"!

The Lakers lost the first game, but Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, and Odom were rated higher.

Not to mention the role player lineup of the Heat, the current Lakers team is much worse than the role player lineup of the OK combination that won the three consecutive championships.

That Lakers team of Glenn Rice, Fox, Horry, Tyronn Lue, A.C. Green, Ron Harper......

Give these teammates to Yao Ming, and he will be crazy!

To Kobe, he will feel like he has thighs all over his body......

Compared to the Hawks, who eat a lot of rookie bonuses, and even Prince, a two-time first-time defense player, is on a rookie contract, the Lakers' role player lineup is too miserable.

For Zen masters, it doesn't matter if the role players are miserable, with Kobe and Yao Ming here, the bench is just a matter of making do; But in terms of starters, in addition to Fisher, Kobe, Odom, and Yao Ming, the fifth starters only have two options, Luke Wharton and Wang Zhizhi, these two are used as role players, which are very good, but they are used as starters for championship teams...... How miserable!

……

……

After the first game, the direction of public opinion changed suddenly, from the beginning of advocating the strongest finals showdown, to now, it began to be analyzed.

On the domestic side, it has changed from the strongest Chinese derby to elevating the fact that Yao Ming has no other teammates besides Kobe and Odom who can still reach the finals.

And it is a fact that Kobe, Yao Ming, and Odom dragged a more miserable lineup of role players to the finals, and to guide public opinion, Yao Ming's first fiasco improved his image.

Liu Mang has brought great changes to the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming can change teams willfully because of Liu Mang, a king who has a bad reputation; agreed that Yi Jianlian would go to the United States to play at a university, also because there was a core combination like Yao Ming and Liu Mang, and Wang Zhizhi, who had a firm foothold in the NBA, did not need Yi Jianlian to show his face early, so that Yi Jianlian had the opportunity to exercise himself.

But this does not mean that the national team can rest assured that Liu Mang is always needed, there is always a need for someone to balance Liu Mang from public opinion, and this person is Yao Ming.

The word "protection between officials and officials" is not just casually said, in terms of official rank, the director of the imperial court will not be lower than the chairman of the Blue Association, but if you have a meal and build a good relationship, you can accomplish a lot of things in one sentence.

In the past, Cheng Lanxin had a bad relationship with the imperial court, but now that he has been replaced, Wei Yuanli does not care so much about making money, but about the national team's performance, which can be seen from the fact that he cut the CBA schedule by one-third and conducted a national team training camp every three or two months.

There is no contradiction in interests, and the relationship between the court and the Blue Association has inexplicably improved again.

The Lan Association didn't target Liu Mang, they needed Liu Mang, they just needed checks and balances, so that Yao Ming was as strong and important as Liu Mang in the minds of most Chinese people, don't let Liu Mang's family dominate.
