"It was a very good game between the two sides, especially O'Neal and Duncan, and it has been a long time since there has been a matchup between super interior players in the league. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"Although it is a famous name for the Lakers, the Magic does not have a very obvious bias towards the Lakers in the commentary.

"Yes, Erwin, this game has reached the intensity of the playoffs and even the Finals, and it is likely to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals." The Spurs and Lakers are currently ranked first and second respectively in the league's standings, and are the two strongest teams this season, and if nothing else, the two teams have a good chance of reaching the Western Conference Finals.

"Yes, the Spurs were the champions last season, the core of the team, Tim Duncan, has improved a lot this season, O'Neal has become more mature this season, and the Lakers have also completed a qualitative leap after welcoming Phil Jackson, these two teams are the strongest teams this season." The magician also affirmed his partner's words.

"It's just that Glen Rice has never been able to integrate into the Lakers' tactical system, and I have to say that this is also a big hidden danger." Before Phil Jackson came, the Lakers played a single tactic with O'Neal as the core, and it was still very qualified to use Glen Rice as a shooter, but this season the team began to play triangle tactics, as the team's 3 masters, he naturally had to take on more responsibilities, but Glen Rice, who has adapted to being a pure shooter, has never been able to integrate into the triangle offense, and the weakness of running inactively is now infinitely magnified.

"Phil is a championship coach and I think he'll find a solution."

After the substitutions between the two sides, Meng Xu's tasks on the court have also changed, David Robinson was plagued by fouls and couldn't play, Popovich also instructed Meng Xu to pay more attention to protecting the backcourt rebounds, and after Glen Rice got off the court, Meng Xu's defensive object also became Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant was a rookie in 96, and after playing as a substitute for the Lakers for two years, he also successfully took the position last year and became the Lakers' 2 leader, in order to make room for Kobe, The Lakers also traded away the team's former big outside core, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel.

As one of the four major quartiles of the future brakes, the current Kobe Bryant is still a little immature, and he is not fully mature technically, far from being compared with Allen Iverson, who has now entered the peak of his career, and even the sophomore Vince Carter is much better than Kobe.

After the game restarted, the Lakers, who lost Glen Rice, played more fluently, and after Ron Harper dribbled through the half court, he handed the ball to Kobe Bryant who pulled away on the left side, and at this time, according to the team's tactical choice, Kobe Bryant should hold the ball and cut into the bottom corner, but at this moment Kobe was stuck by Meng Xu, not only lost the space to accelerate, but even the passing route was blocked. Kobe's official height is 198, which is almost the same as Meng Xu, but it is far worse in terms of arm span, it is rumored that Kobe's arm span is only 196, although it is not so short in Meng Xu's opinion, but the gap with himself is very obvious.

After the breakthrough cut was blocked, Kobe Bryant chose to shoot directly, and after pushing Meng Xu backwards hard, followed by a turn and leaning back, although he could predict Kobe's shooting action in advance, and even the trajectory of the basketball, but due to the lack of bounce, Meng Xu had nothing to do about this kind of shooting with a large range of backwards, and the palm was barely sealed on the opponent's face It was already the limit.

Seeing Kobe Bryant hit this difficult shot, Phil Jackson not only did not have the slightest joy, but frowned. Because from a tactical point of view, the Lakers' offense is actually a failure, although the triangle tactics encourage singles, but at the same time they also limit singles, in the Lakers' tactical system, O'Neal is the one who plays the role of the terminator, if O'Neal scores this goal, it is undoubtedly successful from a tactical point of view, and this offense has only one pass, O'Neal didn't even touch the ball, this kind of player relying on personal ability to play alone is contrary to the triangle tactics, Glen Rice was disliked by Phil Jackson because of his poor ability to run off the ball and like to play alone, and if the team plays a single game, then who in the Lakers team is more lethal than O'Neal?

Although Duncan doesn't look very strong, but purely in terms of strength can also be ranked in the NBA's existing interior line, but now the opposing player is a pervert like O'Neal, and he can only outwit the enemy, although the strength is not as good as O'Neal, but fortunately, the shooting range is wider and the offensive means are more. In this case, both teams could not pull away from the score, and the situation on the field was also very anxious.

"Rookie, your defense is pointless." After Bryant hit a difficult step-back jumper again, he made a trash word at Meng Xu, who was defending him. In this quarter of the game, Kobe's physical exertion is very huge, the No. 5 rookie on the opposite side is just like a piece of dog skin plaster, tightly stained with himself, he can't get rid of it, this guy's defensive prediction and movement steps are simply shocking, and the defensive way that will poke the eye if you are not careful, it is really annoying.

"Nothing other than winning." I don't know why, hearing Kobe's words, Meng Xu not only didn't get angry, but laughed out loud, although Kobe Bryant does not have the strength and ability of the "four quartiles" now, but for the legendary players in these systems, Meng Xu still has a lot of respect in his heart.

In the first quarter of the game, the physical strength of his teammates was very abundant, so Meng Xu did not have any desire to score, and on the defensive end, he tried his best, as long as Kobe Bryant held the ball Meng Xu would stick to it tightly, although he could never find a way to deal with the backward shooting, but as long as he could cut off the connection between Kobe and his teammates, especially with O'Neal, then Meng Xu's defense of Kobe Bryant in this game was successful.

Popovich is also very satisfied with the current situation on the court, a team that has no tactical system and only relies on singles has no future. And throughout the first quarter, the Lakers' tactical system was basically fragmented, and when Glen Rice couldn't fit into the team and Kobe Bryant was obsessed with singles, he couldn't support the triangle offensive tactics by relying only on O'Neal and Ron Harper.

Although Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in the first quarter and O'Neal also scored 10 points, the Lakers trailed the Spurs by 1 point at 21-22.
