Chapter 296: Steady and Skinny

Lakers fans feel very depressed, the Kings are outrageously accurate, shooting more than 40 percent of the three-pointers in the game, and three-pointers are raining down one after another.

"It's a typical king game." Xu Jicheng said with emotion: "Once the Kings team shoots, it will be like this, not to mention against the Lakers, even against the Bulls of the year, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand such a round of underground three-point rain." ”

"That's right, the key is still in the cover on the outside, few head coaches specifically arrange so many covers for shooters, the usual cover, and also set up all kinds of counterruns, feints to dodge, double cover, chasing the king's shooter, like a cross-country obstacle race."

"Cosby really met a good coach, otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had such a brilliant rookie season."

The two of them had a lot of discussions, and everything was right except for the last point.

Finally, even if Cosby can't meet Wang Tomorrow, with his ability to shoot three points quickly and with great accuracy, he can still reach this level, and even because of the playing time and tactical weight, the data may rise a little.

The cheering voices of the Lakers fans also became weak.

On the court, Kobe Bryant's eyes were unwilling, the Kings couldn't say where they were strong, but they were strangely accurate, everyone was obviously not as talented as the Lakers, but various tactics were interspersed with cover, each performed its own duties, and played a better performance.

Team cooperation is like a Spurs, but not a Spurs, defense is like a Piston, but not a Piston, offense is like the Sun, but not the Sun, it is a combination of the three, a powerful team that brings together various advantages in the new era, and on the contrary, everyone seems to underestimate the Kings.

Wrong, wrong, king, too strong.

The Lakers are not prepared, while the Kings are heavily armed and well-prepared, and this comes and goes, and there is a gap.

In the end, the game was over, and the Kings defeated the Lakers 113-101 in the G1 game of the Western Conference Finals, shocking the glasses on the ground.

After all, the Lakers are a strong team with 60 wins, and if a 1-1 draw with the Suns at home is acceptable, the upset in the first game is tantamount to setting a weak tone for the entire series, which is very ironic and embarrassing.

The Zijin Dynasty, which seems to have the hope of rising, seems to have been strangled in the cradle again.

After the game, a number of media outlets commented on the game.

ESPN experts noted that the Lakers are experiencing a hint of fatigue.

"After seven games with the Suns, we have ushered in the challenge of Western rivals, although the Kings also played hard in the Western Conference Finals, but it is much easier than the Lakers, and there is more time to prepare and adjust, the Lakers have not completely come out of the bombardment of the last round of the series, and they have met the Sacramento Kings who are both offensive and defensive."

"Although the Lakers lost to the Kings' endless three-point shooting, it also reflects that the Lakers' outside defensive attention is not too concentrated.

There have been several encounters between the coaches of the two teams, but in terms of arranging troops and fighting at the tactical level, it seems that Wang will still have a slight upper hand tomorrow.

Wang's targeted arrangements for the Lakers' untimely retreat or poor backcourt rebounding protection in the courtroom several times tomorrow also laid the groundwork for the outbreak of the King's outside shooters.

"After all, he is the best coach in the league, and with Wang Mingming's current level, he can be called a master tactician in today's league, and he is a real super coach." An expert praised Wang Mingming, believing that Wang Mingming, the ace coach in the league today, is enough to be worth half of the team.

The players are like all kinds of ingredients, some coaches, good ingredients will also be copied and rotten, but Wang Mingming can rejuvenate with his hands, turn waste into treasure, and control the overall situation.

G1 lost, the Lakers lost the lead, and the home-court advantage for the entire series was gone.

At the same time, the performance of Lakers substitute Lamar Odom has also been criticized.

Odom is known as an All-Star level player, but his performance has been tepid for many years, saying that he is weak, but he can compete with the top stars in the league, and the ball is passed by the Magic to praise twice, but he can be said to be strong, with a total of 5 points in the G1 game, and his performance is not as good as the Kings Nocioni and other bench players.

The NBA is a place where social role models are born, but it is also a "dirty" place. There are dirty hurtful actions on the court, and dirty things off the court are frequent. For example, Dwyane Wade's wife accused him of infecting him with Xing's illness, and Gilbert Arenas was suspected of being cuckolded by Shaq O'Neal. Relatively speaking, Lamar Odom's marriage to entertainment star Kardashian can be regarded as an upright thing.

But this may only be the superficial brilliance, because the process from acquaintance, love to marriage took less than two months, and Kardashian is definitely not a virtuous person, recently when she and her friends were basking in the sun on the balcony, due to dissatisfaction with the paparazzi's candid photos, Kardashian actually lifted her tight top and revealed her breasts to the public......

The NBA is nothing more than court news and all kinds of lace, and Odom, whom the Los Angeles media accuses him, seems to spend more time off the court.

Of course, after a loss, these problems will always erupt further, and if there is no loss, there will be no such news.

Counting the scandals of this year, some young players or players who are not very famous in the league are not willing to be lonely, and the most sensational is naturally the topless photo goal of champion Lang Greg Oden. Later, Auden said that the nude photos were taken on his mobile phone a year and a half ago, and were betrayed by his ex-girlfriend and posted online. But Oden wasn't the only player caught in the topless goal, and then there were Spurs youngster George Hill and Heat titan Darrell Wright.

In short, this is a magical alliance, as long as you use a pair of discovery glasses to observe, you can always see something that ordinary people can't see.

In the loss of the G1 game, the odds of the Kings fell in a diving until the odds of the two teams were almost the same, and the Lakers played at home, slightly higher than the Kings.

It shows that the two teams are really five or five, and the bookmaker believes that anyone can win this game.

After G1, both teams refused interviews and prepared in closed arenas, with the Lakers and Kings isolated from the outside world for more than a day.

The Los Angeles hotel arranged by the alliance for the king is still good, in Los Angeles, among the high-rise buildings everywhere, such a five-star hotel of this level, with a special big bed, can be said to be very generous.

Therefore, even if the Lakers lost the first game, the Kings did not encounter too many off-the-board moves, at most, when they sat on the bus out of the arena, they met some radical fans.

This doesn't matter to players with strong nerves, everyone is very calm.

Two days later, at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, the two sides ushered in the G2 battle.

Because of the defeat of G1, the situation of the Lakers series is precarious, and the form of the two teams has changed, and how to crack the Kings' three-point strategy has become a top priority for the Lakers' outside defense.

From the very beginning, both sides set the tone for each other.

The Lakers are mainly based on a solid interior offense, supplemented by Kobe Bryant's outside blocking and low-post singles and other tactics, which are the Lakers' tactics with the highest success rate and are also the Lakers' big killers. The Kings, on the other hand, are still based on the tactics of blocking and dismantling in the high post and running on the wing.

In the cheers of the fans, Bynum's long arm was the first to beat Chandler.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant picked it up halfway and hoisted the ball into the hands of Bynum in the low post, Bynum was tall, stuck with Chandler, and dribbled left and right to look at the situation.

Then there was two "bangs" and "bangs" and crashed into Chandler's body.

"Ferocious little shark!"

The host of the Los Angeles broadcast exclaimed that the Lakers' offense was very aggressive, and when he looked up closely, Bynum had completed the overlord turn, his huge body jammed Chandler, and then stood on his feet, raised his hands high, and gently hooked.

Compared with Odom, who has a rich life off the court, Bynum is now a good child, not only does he not have any tattoos on his body, but he also knows how to train and improve himself all day long, and he is also the most admired by Kobe Bryant among the young players of the Lakers.

Chandler had a feeling of facing Yao Ming, Bynum was skilful with hook moves and solid footwork, and the basketball fell into the basket very obediently.

"Huh!"

The inside attack was successful, Bynum pumped himself up with fists, and he was also the man who apprenticed to Abdul-Jabbar, a Tyson Chandler, and it didn't make sense to lock him up completely.

Wang will sit on the sidelines tomorrow, the G2 battle is very different from the G1 battle, and he observed that the young ladies sitting on the sidelines have obviously changed a batch.

"Healthy Andrew Bynum, really talented, enriched the last offensive game for the Lakers." Dwayne Casey said with a sigh.

Wang Ming nodded: "Bynum is good, he has height and weight, rebounding and strength, and his low-post skills are passable, which is equivalent to a low-profile version of Yao Ming." ”

"In the first two years, as soon as I got to the playoffs, Bynum was injured, and this year Bynum is okay, no injury."

"He's a little bit vulnerable, but that's the case with most centers in the league right now, and it's true that centers are more susceptible to injury than outside players."

Wang Ming thought of the Trail Blazers: "Gregg Oden didn't play a few games in '07, and he was reimbursed for the season this season, and soon after the backup center Joel Pultzbilla was also reimbursed for the season, and the Trail Blazers' centers seemed to be cursed by injuries, but they successfully brought in Marcus Camby, which made them slightly more competitive in the West." ”

Bynum's play revitalized the Lakers' overall offense, and in the first quarter, the Lakers led the Kings 28-24.

The lead was maintained, and Bryant scored only 11 points in the half, but handed out seven assists and no turnovers, so the Lakers also led the Kings by eight points at 56-48 into the second half.

Kobe Bryant was full of energy, and the Lakers' offense was stuck in the mud for a while in the third quarter, and he immediately stepped up, turned on the scoring mode, and began to score like crazy.

Superstars have this effect, when the team has a period of offensive disconnection, and they are the key people to ensure the team's offensive floor, and at the same time ensure the team's offensive ceiling.

Kobe Bryant made Artest fouls and DeRozan fouls, although there seems to be a slight tendency to "body hair" penalties, but there is no denying his offensive aggression during this time.

If it weren't for Kidd, DeRozan and others hitting 3-pointers one after another to save the Kings' dignity, the Kings might have spent the third quarter of the game.

It was in this third quarter that Bryant scored 19 points to help the Lakers lead the Kings by 10 points at 81-71.

"He's already a living classic." Some media once commented on Kobe Bryant. Although as many people love him as many people hate him, the status of the flying man in the alliance really cannot be erased. He's the most formidable scoring machine in the league right now, and the most reliable shooter in crunch time. "Nesok" once conducted such a player survey, and the results showed: "The players who think Kobe Bryant is more difficult to defend are more than twice as many as the little emperor!" ”

The flying man is difficult to prevent, and Wang Ming still misses Iguodala a little in his heart, although he is not sure if Iguodala can really limit this man who has gone crazy.

Artest defends well, but there is a natural disadvantage in defense, that is, the lateral movement speed is not good, so in the face of some speed players, his defensive effect is not good, and in the face of some heavyweight, low-post players, Artest is very defensive, and can always use strong physical fitness, cause some mistakes to the opponent, and complete the steal by himself.

Kobe Bryant fell into a strange circle of low-post singles in the first game, and in this game, he insisted on attacking with a face frame, and Artest's instant defensive effect was reduced.

And DeRozan, who was slightly inexperienced defensively, was fouled twice by Kobe Bryant, and halfway through the third quarter, he went down early to rest.

After that, in order to defend Kobe, Wang also took out Aaron Afraro tomorrow.

After being traded to the Kings, Afflalo was not as tactically positioned as the two shooters of Nocioni and Casby, but he worked his skills, especially on the defensive end, and inherited the iron and tenacity of the Pistons.

The effect is not great, but it is a workout.

In the final quarter of the game, the Kings launched a wave of counterattacks, and after Kidd scored a 3-pointer, he once stretched the difference to only 2 points, but then Kobe Bryant played again, hitting a mid-range jumper and a 3-pointer one after another, curbing the Kings' chance to overtake.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Kings 109-100 and defended their second home court with a tie in the series.

Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 40 points in this game, including 29 points in the second half.

Wang praised Kobe Bryant after the game tomorrow as the most offensive man in the league today.

"I think he played at an MVP level, we tried a lot of things, we changed three defenders and they didn't seem to work too well. Well, that's right, in the next game, I'll try to defend with 5 players, that's a priority for Sacramento. ”

Wang was interviewed tomorrow and smiled slightly, as if he knew the strategy for the next game.
