Chapter 92: The Lakers with an incomplete lineup

Once again, the Rockets, who finished the game ahead of schedule, ushered in a rare break. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info next opponent, the Lakers, won the chance to advance 4:3.

The Lakers almost capsized in the gutter when they faced off against the Hornets, and the Hornets are indeed very strong this year, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's bursting hand in the end, he shot two three-pointers in a row and killed the Hornets, and the Lakers would have gone home.

The Lakers' roster is still good, and since the trade to Gasol, the Lakers' record has continued to soar. However, Bynum's reimbursement this season has also made the Lakers lack a big man on the inside, and Gasol is a bit difficult to support on the inside.

With the Lakers making the cut, the two sides of the Western Conference Finals have been decided. And the East was also decided, the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 4:3 hard, and the little emperor once again fell before the East Final.

The Pistons, like the Rockets, also defeated the Magic with a score of 4:1 and rested several days early.

On the 22nd, the first game of the Western Finals officially began.

The Rockets' starters are still Da Yao, Scola, Battier, Maddy and Alstom. The Lakers starters are Gasol, Odom, Rademanovic, Kobe, Fisher.

The Lakers are a bit stronger in the starting lineup because the Lakers are the Big Three, and the Rockets are just the Big Two. Although Odom has not been in good form in recent years, he is still a famous star, and many people are willing to give him the title of a giant.

Even though the little magician is famous, his strength has regressed. The worst part of the performance is that he wanders on the court at every turn, which seriously affects his performance, no matter how good his ability is, he can't stand up to many mistakes.

Da Yao and Gasol are the same type of players, and the two can be said to be bright for a while. However, in the confrontation, Gasol was more advantageous, Gasol's strength was greater than that of Da Yao, and his pace was faster than that of Da Yao, and Da Yao's advantage was his height.

Of course, the gap between the two is minimal, and they can basically reach mutual explosion.

Kobe and Maddie are also a pair of enemies, Guan Gong against Qin Qiong. However, Kobe Bryant, Guan Gong, is officially in the prime of life, and Maddie, Qin Qiong, is a bit sunset.

Odom is better than Scola, Alston is not much better than Fisher, and the two are drawn.

The Rockets' only advantage is Battier vs. Radmanovic, both of whom are 3-and-D players, but Battier is much stronger than Radmanovic and can erase the gap between Da Yao and Maddie.

The Rockets also have the advantage of getting plenty of rest, while the Lakers have been suffering from game energy.

The lineups of the two sides are about the same, and the fight is evenly matched, and if there are no other factors, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Battier defends Kobe, Kobe defends Maddy, Kobe Bryant consumes a lot of strength on both offensive and defensive ends, as long as Kobe's physical strength is exhausted, then the Lakers are in danger.

However, Kobe Bryant is a physical monster and rarely runs out of energy. This is a benefit that Kobe Bryant got from crazy training, plus he has a lot of experience in the game, and he knows how to distribute physical strength very well.

Maddie's hand in this game is not very good, and it must have been cold after not playing for a few days. With one of five shots in eight minutes, Adelman shook his head.

Adelman called a timeout and sent Wu Di up, since Maddie doesn't feel very good, let's come down and rest for a while! Although Maddy was a lot more serious in the playoffs, there were still some problems with his defensive attitude, and he even allowed Radmanovic to easily shoot two three-pointers, which Adelman could not tolerate.

After Wu Di came on the court, he played the No. 2 position and played directly against Kobe. Adelman doesn't ask Wu Di to be able to defend Kobe, only asks him to be restricted, and he also knows that superstars are difficult to defend, even Anthony can get used to Wu Di's defense, and Kobe can naturally get used to it.

However, seeing Wu Di on the court, Kobe Bryant still chose to play a single, and in the end he really had no chance, so he had to shoot a backward jumper and throw the ball before the 24-second violation.

The hasty shot naturally didn't go in, and Da Yao grabbed the rebound and lost it to Wu Di. Wu Di naturally wanted to return one, he didn't wait for others to return to defense, smashed the ball up, and then quickly dribbled the ball to the front court.

Kobe Bryant followed Wu Di and tried to interfere with him, but Wu Di was unmoved, carried Kobe Bryant to run to the halfway, and then threw him away, rushed to the free throw line first, and dunked the ball in the basket with a hard kick.

Wu Di made a contribution on the court, which made the Rockets fans applaud. They felt that the rocket owed Wu Di too much, and couldn't help but give Wu Di a round of applause.

"Boy, do you need to be so ruthless?" Kobe Bryant said speechlessly.

"I never show mercy!" Wu Di replied.

Kobe Bryant was, this kid has a character. But this year I'm also aiming for the championship, and I'm not going to show mercy!

The Lakers' triangle offensive tactics started with Kobe Bryant. If the starting point is not good, it will be handed over to the relay point to play. This relay point needs to be an inside player and has a good big picture view, which was previously brought by Odom, but due to Odom's concentration problems, the triangle attack is often not open at all.

When Zen Master Jackson was teaching the bulls, Jordan was the starting point, and Pippen was the relay point. Because Pippen is reliable, the Bulls' triangle offense plays very smoothly, he can pass the ball back to the starting point, or he can pass it to the other three points, no matter how you pass the ball, it will be a triangle (the return pass to the starting point seems to be a straight line, but the position of the starting point will be different, so it is also a triangle), so this set of tactics will be named triangle offense.

Now the Lakers' relay point has become Gasol, who has a good sense of the big picture, and a lot of balls need to be handled by him on the inside.

So Gasol came, and the strength of the Lakers increased a lot. When Wu Di was defending Kobe, not only was it difficult for Kobe to attack, but even the pass was piggybacking on the defense.

It's not that Wu Di is powerful, but he subconsciously prevented Kobe Bryant from passing the ball to Gasol. The reason why there is such a subplot is because Wu Di doesn't want Da Yao to spend too much energy on the defensive end.

If Da Yao puts in his energy on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, it will be too much for him to bear. Da Yao also had an injury period in the middle of the season, and Wu Di went to see him a lot, knowing that his foot injury was too serious, and if the game was too intense, his foot might not be able to stand it. If he reached that point, not only would his career be over, but he would also be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

So Wu Di and Da Yao went back to protect Da Yao when they were there, and Da Yao was willing to take care of him with some balls, and all the attacks of violent collisions came by himself, Da Yao only needed to move a little and then shoot.

It is with Wu Di's protection that Da Yao can play smoothly until now, otherwise he may have died of injury a long time ago.
