Kobe Bryant shook his hand angrily and turned back to defense.

Chandler protected the rebound and passed it to Turkoglou, who saw that Tony Allen had advanced to the front court and immediately threw it off.

Kobe Bryant reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly chased after him.

In basketball, Kobe Bryant's heart is small, which is very similar to Jordan.

You just defended Lao Tzu one, Lao Tzu must guard against you!

Out of the corner of his eye, Tony Allen saw Kobe Bryant rushing up, and he sneered, whoosh!

Directly passed the ball to Zhou Yang who was inserted on the left side.

"I don't play with you......"

Bryant was speechless, and he found that the Warriors' role players were calm and never on top.

Zhou Yang received the ball and hit it inside the three-point line.

Meta followed behind Zhou Yang and was about to foul.

It is not the first time that Lakers players have played against Zhou Yang, and they know that this kind of one-on-one single defense cannot prevent Zhou Yang at all.

So Mehta went straight to the foul.

But now that Zhou Yang is in the lead, he doesn't dare to pull it directly, otherwise it will be a physical foul.

So he tried his best to keep up with Zhou Yang, planning to give Zhou Yang an arm at the moment when Zhou Yang made a layup.

But Zhou Yang didn't give him a chance to foul at all!

When Zhou Yang was picking up the three-step basket, he suddenly slowed down his rhythm and hit Meta with his back.

Meta didn't expect that this collision would directly knock him into a stumbling one.

Then Zhou Yang accelerated, poof!

Directly threw Mehta more than a meter away.

With this collision, Mehta wanted to foul again, unless he had an arm more than 2 meters long.

Swish!

Zhou Yang easily picked up the basket and got two points!

The Zen master shook his head slightly on the sidelines, although he has the ability to train superstars, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

At present, the Lakers are old, old, and alone, and they can't unite at all.

If it continues like this, the Lakers will not even be able to break out of the West, and even the playoffs will be unstable.

In the next few rounds, the warriors played more and more smoothly, and the point difference was slowly widened.

If Kobe hadn't relied on his strong play and scored two goals, the Warriors might have established the victory in the first quarter.

The first quarter played more than seven minutes, and the score came to 18:13, and the Warriors led by five points.

Phil Jackson called a timeout.

"Howard, how many times have I said that you have to help your teammates cover!"

"Kobe, try to make an endpoint, OK?"

"Steve, you can increase your offense, don't just pass the ball......"

……

The Zen master finally discovered that the Lakers, who played well in the first few games, met the Warriors, as if they couldn't play anymore.

Experienced superstars, playing so frizzy.

Actually, this can't be blamed on these stars, the Warriors' style of play is too annoying, and it's fundamentally different from other teams.

Curry is shooting farther and farther from beyond the three-point line, and the shooting percentage is not low, what do you say?

That can only be as strict as possible, assist in defense, and expand the line of defense.

But Zhou Yang stopped shooting three-pointers, and turned over the river and the sea in the three-point line......

The Warriors now equate to a high degree of combination of the small-ball era and traditional basketball.

But a team can only have five players, and it is impossible for any team to make the defensive line so large, and it is simply exhausting.

Bryant gasped for air, his face turned pale, and he was very unhappy with Howard.

But now that he's a teammate, he doesn't have much to say.

And Howard was also very unconvinced by Kobe.

He doesn't like to cover for his teammates, including Kobe.

Such a contradiction is difficult to solve in the Lakers, even the Zen master, a little helpless.

To be honest, even if Howard is in his prime, he can't compare with O'Neal, not to mention that now he is past his peak and still has a back injury.

If he can start to transform at this time, give full play to the power of his defense, reduce the offensive scenes, and do more dirty work for his teammates to block and cover, then Howard's career can still reach a second peak.

It's a pity that Howard didn't want to adapt to the fact that he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly changed the ingredients.

So he has more and more conflicts with the team, and in addition to Kobe, Howard and others are also strained.

The team is not afraid of poor state, but afraid of conflicts between teammates, and everyone can't work together.

After the timeout, Phil Jackson simply pressed all the main players to the bench and replaced them with an all-bench lineup.

This is also a characteristic of the Zen master's teaching, when he is not satisfied with the main force, he will do so.

Reflect yourselves!

The Lakers bench lineup is also good, Blake, Meeks, Duhon, Clark, Jordan Hill......

However, the Warriors did not replace the full bench, Zhou Yang remained on the court, and Curry went down to rest.

With Zhou Yang here, the Warriors' bench play has a clear idea, which is to let Zhou Yang attract the opponent's defensive attention, and others play more and less.

In this way, Zhou Yang is not tired, and the substitute players play easily.

Sure enough, after the Lakers came off the bench, they immediately wrapped up Zhou Yang.

And Zhou Yang was very interesting, silently walked to the bottom corner, leaving the space to his teammates.

But he's not completely stealthy either, and will occasionally kick in and stir up the opposing defenses.

The margin continues to widen.

Although this situation was expected by the Zen master, the Zen master felt very uncomfortable watching the substitute being abused.

Two minutes later, he couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Gasol and Kobe Bryant.

These two are members of the champion team in 09, and they have a higher degree of tacit understanding, so letting them go up should play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

Sure enough, after these two people came up, the offensive aspect was much richer, and in terms of defense, Kobe Bryant's outside line and Gasol's inside line defense were much stronger than just now.

The situation stabilized, and the score between the two sides began to stalemate.

With 37 seconds left in the first quarter, the score came to 26-22 and the Warriors led by four points.

Warriors offense.

Zhou Yang holds the ball in the backcourt and advances.

Kobe Bryant commanded his teammates to wrap Zhou Yang, and at the same time, he was near the three-point line to defend Butler.

The Lakers' intentions are obvious, the last attack at the end of the first quarter would rather be given to others than to let Zhou Yang attack.

Zhou Yang didn't hesitate either, and passed the ball directly to Thomas Jr.

Thomas Jr. faced Blake, changed direction, and threw Blake more than half a meter away.

Blake's defense is really average, although he is a little taller than Thomas Jr., but Thomas Jr. has a lot of strength.

Near the penalty area, Thomas Jr. saw Livingston running near the baseline and immediately passed the ball.

Livingston faced Meeks and once again unleashed his trademark turnaround jumper!

Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant was too astute, he anticipated Livingston's attack, and at the moment when he turned over and made a jumper, he rushed over with an arrow step.

Laugh at!

Bryant's fingertips swiped into the basketball.

Livingston has done his best, his shot is high, and his turnaround jumper is also huge.

But Bryant still touched the ball!

Some people died, but not completely......
