April 20, Staples Center, Los Angeles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first round of the playoffs has begun, and the Hornets arrive in Los Angeles for their first playoff game with the Lakers.

The Lakers' starters are Bynum, Gasol, Wu Di, Kobe Bryant and Fisher. The Hornets started Chandler, David West, Peja, Butler and Paul.

Bynum jumped the ball successfully, and Chandler was really affected by a back injury and couldn't jump at all.

However, in order to confirm Chandler's status, Fisher followed the instructions of the Zen master and passed a ball to Bynum first, and let Bynum play Chandler alone. Chandler barely defended a few times before being squeezed away by Bynum, who scored on an easy dunk.

Lakers fans immediately erupted in cheers, and the Lakers players were also relieved after watching it, and the Hornets No. 5 position was confirmed. The Zen master sitting in the audience also nodded with satisfaction, he had found a way to defeat the wasp today.

The first game of the Hornets must still rely on Chandler, so let Bynum attack Chandler, and with Chandler as a breakthrough, the first game can basically be won.

The Hornets can't do much about it, except for Chandler, the other centers are even worse than Bynum, and Chandler can hold up one game. The only thing they can do is score, and if they score more points than the Lakers, they can win.

But now the Hornets can only take on the heavy responsibility, Paul broke through Fisher, went straight to the basket, Bynum took a step up, Paul directly stopped the jump shot, hit the board to score.

Wu Di and Kobe Bryant glanced at each other, Kobe smiled, nodded, and then switched defenses with Fisher. This is the agreement between Kobe and Wu Di, if Fisher really can't defend Paul, then the two will switch defenses with Fisher. In this game, Kobe Bryant automatically stood up to defend Paul, otherwise the task of defending Paul would definitely be Wu Di.

In fact, it is not very suitable for either Kobe or Wu Di to defend Paul, Chris Paul is only 183cm, 15 cm shorter than Kobe, even if it is the same speed, at this height difference, Paul is much faster than Kobe. And Wu Di is not only taller, but also heavier, and needs more strength to keep up with Paul's speed, which is even more unsuitable for defending Paul than Kobe.

However, the Lakers focused on Chandler, and Bynum was a good player, scoring 15 points in seven minutes.

The Hornets couldn't stand it anymore and had to swap Chandler for Armstrong. Armstrong is a role player, but he has to play at this point, as long as he can maintain defensive intensity, he is much better than Chandler on the court.

After switching to Armstrong, Bynum's scoring momentum finally slowed down.

And Paul, who has Kobe's defense, is still trying to attack, but the shooting percentage is very low, and he can't even maintain 40%. But Paul can't give up yet, because in addition to him, the Hornets only David West and Butler can score, and Peja's role now is completely to contain Wu Di and not attack at all.

As soon as Chandler got off the court, the Lakers' offensive focus immediately shifted to Wu Di.

Wu Di received the ball and began to single Peja, but Peja couldn't stop it at all and was completely crushed by Wu Di. The Hornets had to make another substitution, bringing Peja off for James Posey. The Hornets signed James Posey this season to deal with outside players, and last season James Posey and Tony Allen defended many teams for the Celtics and sent the Celtics to the championship.

However, James Posey's defensive shooting may be good, but his strength is far from Wu Di's. James Posey is very powerful, but his strength is not enough to compete with Wu Di, and his pace is very slow, so he can't keep up with Wu Di's footsteps at all.

Wu Di rushed directly into the interior line against James Posey, directly triggering the defense of the Hornets inside. Whether Armstrong or David West came up to make up for the defense, Wu Di would pass the ball over.

Unlike Bynum as the main attacker, Wu Di can pass the ball more when he is the main attacker. He's playing as a playmaker now, and whoever has the opportunity will play. The Zen master's triangular offense is now getting more and more complicated, but unfortunately, this is not enriched by the Zen master himself, but because of Wu Di's sudden addition, the Lakers have one more offensive starting point, and he has brought all the other tactics over.

Or Wu Di has no tactics at all, he can play all tactics, as long as he can win, he is willing to play all tactics. With this style of play, the Lakers' offense is already very good if it is not chaotic, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant and Gasol are both tactics that can play, and the others are either old fritters or newcomers, and they have no dependence on tactics.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Hornets didn't know what to do, was it to prevent Wu Di or Kobe? To prevent Wu Di, Kobe Bryant, as a veteran star, must be guarded. As for Kobe Bryant, Wu Di has shown a strong desire to attack today, and he must not be defended.

But the Hornets can't do both, because they don't have enough manpower.

After struggling for a lot of time, in the end, the Hornets still played absolutely according to the previous arrangement, first keeping the first half of the second quarter, and as for the second half, they could only follow fate.

In the first half of the second quarter of the game, the Zen master went to Wu Di, and Wu Di took Pekovic, Brad Miller, Sun Yue and others to a draw with the main Hornets.

But in the second half of the second quarter, after Kobe Bryant came on the court, he went crazy in the face of the role players of the Hornets.

With a burst shot, Kobe Bryant single-handedly defeated the Hornets' role players. Kobe Bryant was crazy in the first quarter, he didn't score a point in the first quarter, and he made up for it in the second half of the second quarter.

At halftime, the Hornets trailed by 15 points, and the two teams are now completely on the same level, as long as they don't encounter the Hornets multiple people breaking out together, the Lakers are basically impossible to lose.

In the third quarter, the Lakers continued to expand the score, leading the Hornets by more than 20 points. After five minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers replaced the bench and the game went into garbage time.

In this game, the Lakers scored four double-doubles, Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, Wu Di scored 12 points, Bynum scored 21 points, Gasol scored 16 points, and the four combined scored a total of 71 points. The other players have all made their own scores, with the exception of Bobby Jackson, who doesn't have a playoff roster.

The Lakers temporarily took a one-win lead, and the two teams began to prepare for Game 2.

On the 22nd, the official announcement of the Best Sixth Man selection, and Jason Terry of the Mavericks became the Best Sixth Man with 19.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
