The Nets attacked, and Kidd protected the ball in the middle to watch his teammates run.

Kobe Bryant was more active in chasing Wang Jun, reaching out and pushing Collins to quickly bypass.

The pick-and-roll is used well, and the scoring assist is like a probe. On the other hand, defensive pick-and-roll is a delicate task that requires a resolute attitude, a clear mind, and both technique and physical sensation are essential.

Kobe Bryant is one of the league's better pick-and-roll players, not only because of his attitude and technique, but also because he pushes and pulls the screener with his hands to facilitate the movement, and the referee will not blow fouls.

As long as you look at the list of the best defensive teams in the NBA over the years, you will find that the defensive statistics of the people on the list may not be very good, and most of them are stars. A lot of blue-collar workers who have a bad offense and focus on defense won't make the cut.

The star whistle is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, and even more obviously, but few fans have discovered it. When the star defends, the action is bigger, and many referees will choose to turn a blind eye. Otherwise, a few whistles blew the big cards down and sat down, who did the audience watch?

At the end of the day, this is determined by the nature of the NBA's business leagues, and packaging stars is an important link that can never be avoided.

Kidd didn't pass Wang Jun and gave it to Kittels on the other side.

"Mosquito" relied on Martin to cover to get rid of the ball, took the ball and shook it for a while, attracting Malone to come out, and suddenly changed direction to break through.

He got past Malone in one step, pulled the ball up, attracted O'Neal to make up for it, and gently sent the ball to his teammate on the left side of the run with his left hand.

Martin caught the ball and jumped up, his hands raised high, as if he only gave him an axe, he could split the mountain and rescue his mother who was crushed under the mountain.

O'Neal leaves the basket. No one dared to make up for Martin anymore, and he scored a super smash. 13 to 10.

Kobe Bryant asked for the ball in the half. Peyton didn't pass it and gave it to George. The latter ran to the baseline after hanging to O'Neal, and O'Neill once again held the ball and went heads-up.

Collins was fouled to stop his shot, and O'Neal made 1 of 2 free throws. 13 to 11.

The Nets made the first substitution, Collins came down and Aaron Williams came on.

It is clear that Aaron is the "foul machine number two" against O'Neal.

The only way for the Nets to defend against the big sharks in one-on-one situations is to foul, and their interior line is really what Jackson calls "lightweight".

The Nets attacked, Kidd and Martin blocked in the middle, and Kittels stood in the bottom left corner to attract the defense. Wang Jun and Collins side cover. Attracted Malone to change his defense.

Kidd dribbled the ball under his crotch to the right side, went to the right side 60 degrees to distribute the ball to the center, and ran to the bottom right corner himself.

Martin drew Payton into switching defenses, catching the ball and dummerging it, passing it to Kidd in the bottom corner, and then cutting inside himself.

O'Neal went to the basket to defend Martin, and Kobe Bryant had a good sense of defense, so he hurried to make up for Kidd in the bottom corner, otherwise he would have three points in the empty position.

Kidd passes the ball to 60 degrees. Wang Jun relied on Collins to cover in the middle to get rid of Malone to catch the ball, and Payton defended it.

Wang Jun shoots when he pulls up the defense, and Payton's bounce power is not as good as when he was young, and he is also shorter than Wang Jun. The ball slid off the basket and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

Payton passes Kobe. The latter took a step inside the three-point line to hit a defensive jumper, and O'Neal was not yet in place. Martin grabbed the rebound.

The Nets battled in a positional battle, and Kidd broke through with a blockade. Attracting a defensive cross to the middle, this time Payton chased the defense aggressively, Martin was in the air in the high post, and the jump shot went in. 15 to 11.

The Lakers attacked, Payton misplaced against Wang Jun and still didn't attack, passing the side George hanging ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal singled Aaron, forced another foul, and hit one of two free throws to make it 15-12.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun and Aaron received a pass from Kidd on the side, and the right side made another three-point shot, Ma Long changed the defense slowly, and after Wang Jun made a shot, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and the ball scored at 60 degrees on the right side.

18-12, Wang Jun's personal 11th point, the opening power.

Jackson asked for a timeout, and Zhang said with a smile: "Wang Jun is really likely to win the Finals MVP, he attacked very aggressively, scored three three-pointers, and shot 4 of 6." ”

Yu Jia has become a prince. "The Zen master called a timeout must be to prevent Wang Jun's peripheral shooting, it is not good to stay under the basket inside, Wang Jun can shoot the Lakers!"

"Before the game, the Lakers were predicted to win easily, and today the Nets are going to prove the experts wrong." Zhang's words represent the aspirations of the vast majority of Chinese fans.

Wang Jun and his teammates clapped their hands in celebration and wiped their sweat with towels.

He thought it was strange that the Lakers seemed to be weaker than they were during the regular season. Their offensive routine is simple, the defense is not pressing, and there are obvious holes on the perimeter.

Malone stayed in the middle during the regular season, and Kobe's approach in the low post was effective, so why didn't the Lakers use it?

Did the coach eat too much?

Of course, Jackson didn't change his tactics after eating too much, but he knew that Malone couldn't do it.

In the sixth game against the Timberwolves, Malone didn't fall well, and now he is dragging an injured leg out of the game.

Ma Long can still play some role in defending the low post with his strength, and now he is a paper tiger in the middle of the defense, and he can't keep up with the speed of the defender at all.

The Nets also changed from the regular season, not making the interior, Jefferson came off the bench, and had at least three outside shooting points on the court.

It will be difficult for the Lakers' defense to restrain the Nets.

The game continues. The Lakers did not make substitutions on the court, the defensive tactics were changed to joint defense, Malone and O'Neal were on the bottom line, the three on the periphery rotated as much as possible, Malone tried to save and interfere with the shooting, and only O'Neal was left on the inside.

Aaron is a target who can be put on the perimeter, O'Neal has a strong ability to block under the basket, and the Nets' offense is blocked. The Lakers began to guard against Kittels and Wang Jun and let others go.

On the offensive end, Payton gave O'Neal a drop ball on the side, and Kobe Bryant and Malone moved on the other side.

After three minutes of play, Aaron was fouled twice. The Nets resolutely defended O'Neal and sent him to free throws if they couldn't stand it. O'Neal's free throw shooting rate of about 50%, although it can guarantee scoring, is not efficient.

Wang Jun didn't catch the ball much, missed the outside shot once, and was replaced to rest in the 8th minute, scoring 11 points and 1 rebound.

Jefferson played, and the Nets stepped up their fast break and the Lakers maneuvered around to maintain the lead.

Only Bryant Bryant made two three-pointers from the Lakers' starters, both of which missed the basket.

TNT Radio broadcasts the game live, and Barkley is not optimistic about the Lakers.

He commented: "If the Lakers can't shoot from the outside today, I like the Nets to win at home, and the biggest problem for the Lakers starters is the lack of pitchers. They needed Bryant to break through and create opportunities for his teammates, but Bryant's first quarter shots were almost always mid-to-long-range jumpers. ”

Smith agrees that there is a problem with the Lakers' configuration. "The Nets play more team, the Lakers have to make adjustments, I think I can let Fisher play a little longer, Payton can't be a good fixed-point shooter, and the ball is not in his hands, he just dribbles the ball across the half court and watches the excitement, it's better to go to Fisher."

Jackson did not arrange Payton to attack with the ball, and Kobe Bryant did not break through with the ball and shot from the perimeter, which caused the Lakers to wait for the ball and lack cooperation.

The Lakers showed no signs of adjusting, and the Nets ended the first quarter 31-24. (To be continued.) )
