No matter what the players and fans thought, the game went on.

In fact, Waldpass's three no-sticks still have some influence on the Pelicans. After all, veterans who have been in the league for many years also have times when they stumble in the playoffs, let alone their young ones.

Every action on the field, every mistake may be the hoof nail on the horse's hoof, and if you are not careful, it will lead to the loss of the entire series.

The same is true for Yang Yi. Waldpease had just shot three no-sticks in his eyes, and he realized that the pressure of the playoffs that people often talk about is not empty talk.

It seems that a player's skill lies not only in his own skills, but also in his inner strength. Without a strong heart, no matter what the regular season throws, the playoffs are likely to be beaten back to square one.

The fat man held the ball and pushed forward, and Aminu stepped forward to respond by bypassing Waldpis who was defending him.

The Lakers' tactics are zone-based defense, not man-to-man. This tactic prevents superstars like Yang Yi from eating the opposite position to a certain extent, but to some extent, it also completes the defensive hole.

Players can't follow the alignment anytime and anywhere, and they can't take immediate action when the opponent is playing a strategy. For example, now, after Aminu is in the center, the Pelicans will run their own positions, and Yang Yi is also free, ready to cut or cut in the air. In short, he no longer plays the role of an organizer, but fights for a one-shot kill.

Although he can attack with the ball himself, the efficiency of attacking with the ball is still much lower than running out of the open space to kill with one shot.

Besides, he spends less physical energy in this way, but he can contain the Lakers' center of gravity at any time and create relatively easy offensive opportunities for his teammates.

The strategy tactics were used a lot in the later warriors, and the power of the five small ones was exerted through the strategy tactics. However, the current Pelicans are much weaker than the Warriors after them, Aminu is not as good as Green, and the Pelicans do not have a five-small lineup, nor do they have a golden two-gun combination.

But even so, the simple response still caused a lot of problems for the Lakers.

The so-called strategy is the offensive team's tactical cooperation in the front court or the whole court through the reception and transfer of the ball organized by the middle player, to complete the offensive opportunity of air cutting, cutting and covering.

Aminu is in charge of centering and acting as an intermediary for the rest of the Pelicans' players, making contact with teammates and creating offensive opportunities for them through the ball in his hand.

This is a tactic that Williams has developed specifically to deal with the Lakers. The Pelicans' overall roster is very young, and they move very fast compared to the aging Lakers, which can well target the Lakers' slow moving weakness.

But this is not omnipotent, although the Pelicans have increased their speed, but the firepower is not too abundant. Except for Yang Yi, who can turn the entire half of the court into an attack range, other players such as Gordon can only move within the three-point line, and once they exceed this range, their deterrence plummets.

Gordon shot very well from the three-point line, but he faced Kobe, who was almost 10 centimeters taller than him, and in order to get an easy shot, he had to get rid of the defender and run out of the open space; As for the other two players of the Pelicans, Anderson only has three points, and Lopez only has an attack under the basket, unable to fully exploit their advantages.

It's also funny to say, the Pelicans have been in the league for a season, but they don't have a set of real tactics, and under normal circumstances, they just let the players fight with Yang Yi as the center, which is the legendary blind handful.

However, because of this, the rest of the league has not figured out how to deal with the Pelicans. In addition, Yang Yi often changed his skills in the regular season, to be precise, he drew different skills, which led to the Pelicans' cooperation being varied, which made other teams unable to figure it out.

Strong strength, unpredictable style of play, and a little bit of luck allowed the youth team to achieve the best results in the regular season.

After the Pelicans used Aminu to respond in the middle, Yang Yi completely freed his hands. His range of activities is very wide, from far to the middle circle and close to the bottom line.

He didn't feel anything like this, anyway, after the system upgrade, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and he doesn't feel tired at all, but Nash who defends him is tired enough.

Although the Lakers play a zoned defense, he sometimes switches with other teammates. But most of the time, he's around the fat man.

His own athleticism has deteriorated significantly, and he is too tired to run with Yang after a few runs. However, Yang Yi is completely at home in this environment, with empty cuts, wrapping cuts, covers, three-point shots, mid-range shots, and three-step layups.

Among the other Pelicans players, Gordon was the best performer except for Yang Yi. When Yang Yi attracts the attention of Lakers players, he can always run out of the open space and then take Aminu's pass and shoot.

The Pelicans took advantage of the Lakers' age weakness to break through and expand their advantage to the maximum. But the Lakers are not to be outdone, although they don't have the speed of the Pelicans stepping on Hot Wheels, but for the experienced talkers, positional battles plus on-the-spot control, the offensive end does not have to be much worse than the Pelicans.

The scores of the two teams alternated and the scene looked very hot. One side is as anxious as water, the other side is sinking like a mountain, and you come and go to make the fans have a good time.

That didn't change until Nash's break.

When Nash was on the court, although he was also entangled by Yang Yi, he still got a lot of organizational opportunities through his teammates' off-ball blocking. The ball can usually be turned into magic in his hands, and one goal after another is generated under his guidance.

But after all, he is old, and he can play for about 20 minutes at most in a game. Halfway through the first quarter, he went off the break.

You can't do it without a break! If he continues to play on the court, he will definitely become a burden to the Lakers. Not to mention the inability to organize the team's offense, the defense is completely transparent.

And seriously, his defensive ability is really not good, never will!

After Nash went off the court, Blake, who replaced him, was completely unable to play his second-to-top passing skills and connect the rest of the team well. The Lakers gradually fell into the rhythm of fighting alone.

But fortunately, Blake is a new force on the court, and he plugs Nash's defensive holes well. Even if he still can't fully defend Yang Yi, he is much better than Nash.

The first quarter of the game was slowly passed in such a rhythm, the Pelicans couldn't put the Lakers down with a big lead at once, and the Lakers didn't have too many counterattacks, and they played alone for most of the time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Lakers by three points at 34:31, and the two teams looked half-hearted, and no one could pull away the score at once!
