With an 18-point deficit, the Kings will naturally try their best to fight back.

At the beginning of the second half, Mike Malone sent Thorton and Isaiah Thomas, along with Greg Wazquez.

Such an outside combination undoubtedly shows Mike Malone's mind, that is, to fight back.

However, on Chu Xuan's side, this was expected and prepared, he sent Kobe Bryant at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, and in this quarter, he would let Kobe play a full 12 minutes.

Bryant was paired with Jackson by guard, followed by three forwards, Antetokounmpo, Green and Whiteside.

With such a lineup, the Lakers' player height is undoubtedly dominant.

This is Chu Xuan's intention, because through his research on the Kings lineup, if Mike Malone wants to arrange a scoring lineup, he will undoubtedly have to lower the height of the players. Therefore, Chu Xuan's arrangement is also extremely obvious, that is, to maintain three forwards, so as to bring the advantage of the lineup.

After seeing Chu Xuan's arrangement, everyone's interest suddenly erupted, how would the lineups of the two sides be arranged in terms of alignment?

And after a round, the alignment situation is extremely clear, and everyone can't help but feel surprised.

Bryant went to play against Wazquez, while Antetokounmpo played against Isaiah Thomas, and Jackson was still defending Thornton. Then Green played against Patterson, and Whiteside played against Jason Thompson.

Such a counterpoint arrangement is something that many people have not thought of.

However, as the game progressed, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize, and applauded Chu Xuan's arrangement.

After all, Kobe's legs and feet are not as good as before, and he is also older, so it is undoubtedly the best arrangement for him to pair up with traditional playmaker Wazquez, who is average in athleticism.

Isaiah Thomas, on the other hand, is the main scorer on the Kings' bench, known for his dexterity and being very difficult to defend. Whereas, Brother Alphabet is tall, has long arms, good athletic talent, and has a lot of defensive coverage. He is nearly 40 centimeters taller than Thomas, and it is conceivable that under his defense, Thomas will feel like he is being obscured.

As for the other three groups of counterpoint, they are all conventional counterpoint and are relatively easy to understand.

The 18-point difference is not much, but for the Kings, if the difference cannot be narrowed, then in the fourth quarter, it will undoubtedly fall into an extremely passive situation, and there will be a danger of losing.

Chu Xuan naturally understood this, so in the third quarter of the game, Chu Xuan's defensive focus was to stalk, preferring to send the opponent to the free throw line rather than let them score easily once.

In this arrangement, the effect is really good.

However, the Lakers suffered a lot of foul trouble, Jackson was fouled for 6 fouls, and he played only 22 minutes as a starter.

6 fouls in 22 minutes? This efficiency is indeed a bit high.

But really speaking of which, Jackson's six fouls are totally worth it, and his defense against Thornton is there for all to see.

Under his defense, Thornton has a hard time connecting the ball.

It can be said that within a few minutes of the two men facing each other directly, Jackson was Thorton's nightmare.

It wasn't until Jackson went off the court that Thorton scored just four points.

Obviously, Chu Xuan's use of Jackson was very successful, which allowed him to win the trust of the players again.

The success on defense was the beginning of the Lakers' victory tone, and on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant was present, and Chu Xuan's arrangement was naturally to focus on Kobe.

In the first three minutes of play, Bryant had a bad hand, and he didn't hit any of his three shots. After that, Bryant changed his offensive strategy, and he began to score as close to the basket as possible, which made his offense start to be efficient.

Although Wazquez does not suffer from his height, his defensive level is still not up to the top level, and he is far from experienced in defending a super scorer like Kobe.

So, as Bryant gradually found his groove in the mid-range, Vazquez's individual performance began to struggle.

Bryant scored in a row, and the pressure on the Kings was naturally high, and they understood the danger of being pulled up at this time.

With three minutes left in the third quarter, Mike Malone replaced Isaiah Thomas, who was struggling, and replaced defender Salmons.

With such a change, there was naturally an adjustment in the alignment, with Wazquez against Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant against Salmons, and Brother Alphabet going to defend Thornton.

While Salmons has been effective in defending Kobe, Antetokounmpo has also limited Thornton.

In this way, the king's hopes of chasing the score were once again dashed.

Mike Malone would love to rely on Cousins, but in today's game, Cousins proved to be hard to beat with two fists and four feet, and with Whiteside, Thackeray and Gasol taking turns in the matchup, he was almost broken.

Throughout the third quarter, the Kings' offense was in a state of stagnation, and although the Lakers did not have particularly outstanding offensive players, everyone on the court contributed to the score.

In this case, the Lakers even played 34:24 in a single quarter and continued to widen the difference.

With the Lakers leading by 28 points, the fourth quarter was almost garbage time.

As the players rested for the start of the fourth quarter, the Staples Center was already in celebration. Because judging from the state of the Kings today, it is almost impossible to get back 28 points in a single quarter.

However, under such circumstances, Chu Xuan still did not have any relaxation.

He arranged for the starters to continue to play: "I want to tell everyone that throughout the playoffs, we don't want to relax until the whistle blows. Well, keep it strong. ”

"Oh, damn it, there's no chance." When he saw the lineup arranged by Chu Xuan, Mike Malone suddenly mourned in his heart, he hated Chu Xuan's caution a little, the Lakers continued to start to play, and the last bit of hope for the Kings to fight back was lost.

The three minutes passed very quickly, and Bryant played extremely relaxed during this time, his offensive desire was much weaker, and he began to organize the ball more often. Knoll, on the other hand, continued to maintain his desire to attack, and he teamed up with Whiteside to mercilessly abuse a group of backup interior players of the Kings.

When they went down, the Lakers' lead was 35 points.

Soon, the main players of both sides were all replaced, and the game completely entered garbage time.

As the head coach, Chu Xuan exchanged a few words with the players on the sidelines, during which he naturally encouraged them to play better in the next game.

Soon, the game was over and the Lakers defeated the Kings 123-93 to claim the series G1 victory.

Noll was 11-of-16 from the field and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line, contributing 32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and was voted the best player of the game.

Kobe Bryant had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, Nash 11 points and 8 assists, Whiteside 10 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Gasol 12 points and 6 boards. Green contributed 5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in 12 minutes.

As for the Kings, Cousins had 17 points and 8 boards, Wazquez had 13 points, 6 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals, and Thornton contributed 13 points in 39 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that Ben McClymer was 5-of-5 from the field, 2-of-2 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, contributing 16 points on 100% shooting. (To be continued.) )
