The current James, in the face of Wang Feng's defense, in addition to choosing to pass, basically only launches an attack on the inside or breaks through with the help of teammates.

Wang Feng's defense is getting more and more difficult, but although he has 90 ability points on interior defense, it is still quite difficult to face a low-post offensive master like James without the assistance of badges.

In the first offense, James did not choose to call for a block, but squeezed into the interior with his back to Wang Feng, and relied on the flexible inside footsteps to shake and turn around and score a layup.

2:0, James took the lead for the Clippers.

But immediately, Wang Feng fought back with an outside three-point shot.

2:3。

……

"At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Wang Feng and James played inextricably, and the two sides continued to use their own means to score on the offensive end, and no one wanted to lose the game."

TNT Studios, Barkley, O'Neill and Kenny. Smith and other celebrities are commenting on the game live.

"Charles, which side are you more optimistic about in this game?" Smith asked.

"Do you need to ask? Of course, the Lakers, they have a more reasonable roster and a lot of depth, and we need to give a little respect to the team with the best record in the regular season. Barkley said without hesitation.

"I feel the same way." O'Neill is a rare point of view with Barkley. "Although I like LeBron very much, and it's really great that he can bring such a Clippers team to the playoffs in the West, but LeBron is only one person after all, and it is really difficult to beat the Lakers on his own."

"Besides, the Lakers also have Wang Feng, in recent years, Wang Feng is the best player who has defended LeBron, not even one, LeBron in the face of Leonard, George and other top forward defenders is not like when facing Wang Feng, need to be forced to squeeze into the interior before willing to shoot."

"If the Lakers eliminate the Clippers and go all the way to the playoffs to lift the championship, maybe LeBron's title as the No. 1 player in the league will be replaced."

"Oh oh oh, wait a minute, the Lakers win the championship?" Barkley couldn't help but interrupt O'Neal's touting. "I'm sorry, did you forget those five guys in Golden State? Or Shaq, do you think this Lakers team has what it takes to face a five-star Warriors and still win? ”

"It's hard to say anything like that." O'Neill shook his head, and Lao Cheng said on the ground: "Anything is possible. ”

"Yes, but judging from the bookmaker's odds to win the championship, it doesn't seem to be the case." Barkley said: "The Warriors have better odds to win the championship than the other four teams behind them combined! And the Lakers are not the second-most odds to win the championship, they are only in third, and the second-highest odds to win the championship are the Milwaukee Bucks! ”

O'Neal narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Barkley and said: "Charles, I think we can make another bet when we make the Western Conference finals, because I think the Western Conference finals are basically the Lakers VS Warriors, and when the time comes, before the Western Conference finals begin, let's predict the team that can enter the finals and finally win the championship." ”

"Okay, who's afraid of whom?" Speaking of bets, Charles. Who was Barkley afraid of? Typical of being a vegetable and fun-loving.

While the two were discussing, the game continued on the field.

Relying on the advantage of lineup depth and Wang Feng's scoring explosiveness, the Lakers began to gradually control the initiative on the court.

The Clippers replaced Beverley and brought in Luis Brown. Williams came on the court to increase his scoring ability, and the fast and impactful Luis Louis was on the court. After Williams came on the court, the Clippers' lack of offensive firepower was slightly alleviated.

Although he was limited to the team's sixth man position for most of his career, Luis Brown. Williams is really strong in scoring, and he is the second leading scorer for the Clippers this season, averaging 19.8 points and 4.4 assists per game, second only to James, who averages 27 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game.

And Louis. Williams is also Rondo's worst point guard because he's just too fast.

As a young man, Rondo was also a deft point guard, with a fast speed and a keen nose for steals.

But as he got older, Rondo's speed and explosiveness continued to decline, and he now struggled to defend against most of the league's fast, smaller guards.

Louis. Williams took the ball from James and frequently held the ball to attack the frame, helping the Clippers stabilize the situation.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 33:29, and the Lakers led by 4 points.

Wang Feng shot 5 of 7 in the single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 12 points and 3 rebounds.

James didn't let it go too far in terms of personal data, although he scored 9 points on 4-of-8 shooting and free throws, which was slightly lower than Wang Feng, but he had 3 assists.

And Louis. Williams scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

Although the first quarter of the game relied on Luis. Williams' play allowed the Clippers to bite the score. But after the game entered the second quarter, the point difference began to widen uncontrollably, because the Lakers not only had Wang Feng, but also the second leader Jimmy. Butler is starting to get in the driver's seat.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Butler cut into the basket in the bottom corner to catch the ball and make a layup, and then hit a mid-to-long-range shot, breaking through with the ball and rushing to the basket to make a killing foul free throw.

In 5 minutes, Barrett scored 8 points alone, and Wang Feng took advantage of your illness to kill you, and hit two three-pointers on the outside, directly widening the difference between the two teams to 12 points!

The Clippers called two timeouts in a row, but they still couldn't contain the Lakers' offensive momentum, and all James could do was rely on his offensive ability to keep scoring and give the Clippers a chance to turn the game around.

But it's still too hard.

Wang Feng's scoring is as steady as an old dog, and Butler's performance in the first playoff game is not bad at all.

In another time and space, this season was supposed to be with the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler will play in 12 playoff games, averaging 19.4 points, 6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 45% from the field.

Although the score is not very high, it is basically a key score at the end of the fourth quarter, which is as stable as an old dog.

Wang Feng was most impressed by the 7 big battles between the 76ers and Menglong in the Eastern Conference semifinals, at least 5 of which were the final quarter of Leonard and Butler's scoring and offensive and defensive moments.

Although Leonard, who averaged 34.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4 assists per game in terms of personal data in the series, wanted to finish Butler, who averaged 22 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, Butler did not intimidate at all in the final quarter of the direct confrontation offensive and defensive battle.
