This Forward is Not Serious

After the warm-up, it’s time for the appearance ceremony.

The starting lineups of both teams are of great concern.

The first is whether the Lakers will put Odom into the starting lineup in response to the inside combination of Stoudemire and Lin Ying.

Because Bynum was the Lakers' starting center in the first two rounds.

The second is how the Suns' forward-guard partnership will be arranged.

Tony Allen, Richardson, Hill, Butler, there are too many possible combinations.

The visiting Suns team played first.

Nash, Richardson, Butler, Lin Ying, Stoudemire.

This start was a bit unexpected. Before the game, many people thought that Gentry would start with Allen in order to defend Kobe.

The Lakers came on stage as the home team.

Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, Bynum.

The Lakers did not use Odom as a starter.

The goal is very clear, which is to maximize your inside advantage.

There is a lot to be said for these two starters against each other.

Because of the two big men inside, the Suns' inside line will definitely be struggling.

Just like when the Nuggets played the Lakers, Karl was forced to start with Nene even though he was playing.

Because height is a decisive advantage in internal confrontations.

Of course, conversely, neither Bynum nor Gasol can be guarded, and if they are forced out, they will not be able to come back.

If the Suns can take advantage of this, it will be the Lakers who suffer.

Absolutely perfect teams only exist in 2K. In reality, teams will have strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on how both sides use them.

The two teams started to prepare for the game. Lin Ying's eyes instinctively met Kobe's.

Kobe's expression was serious.

Although they did not train together before the game this time, it showed that the two of them attached great importance to this series.

The outside world is unanimously optimistic about the Lakers, but Kobe does not underestimate the Suns at all.

How could he despise someone who had defeated him twice?

"beep!"

As the courtside whistle blew, Stoudemire jumped up and moved the ball back to half court from Bynum's fingertips.

The Suns got the chance to attack first!

As soon as the frontcourt position was down, Lin Ying stood at the top of the key to catch the ball.

Against the Nuggets and Spurs, Lin Ying will attack more in the low post, but against the Twin Towers, he will appear more at the top of the arc to open up space.

Of course, with his current ability, he can definitely do more than this.

Gasol was guarding the three-point line at this time, and the Suns suddenly had more room to move in the mid-range.

A simple pick-and-roll between Richardson and Stoudemire resulted in an off-ball opportunity.

Gasol saw it and fought hard to save it. Lin Ying raised his hand and passed the ball to... Stoudemire under the basket!

The little bully Amare is here!

"Bang!"

Stoudemire pushed past Kobe and scored a slam dunk with one hand!

The Suns come out on top!

Of course the more important details.

One of the sharings from Kobe's close friend Butler: When the opponent has a strong inside, Kobe always tends to help defend the inside.

So this tactic looks simple, but it’s very accurate!

Kobe: You were careless! If I had known this, I would have advised Butler to go to the Suns!

When the Lakers came up to play, Fisher directly used the screen of the Twin Towers to dribble and shoot.

This strategy is very correct. Although Nash has good mobility and is not so afraid of pick-and-rolls, pick-and-rolls also have different players. The quality of pick-and-rolls in the Twin Towers is very good.

However, the moment Fisher took action, he was interfered by Stoudemire's help!

When everyone was working together yesterday, they were already on guard against this move!

"Dang!"

Fisher struck out angrily!

Because Gasol pulled out for the pick-and-roll, Lin Ying pocketed the rebound and threw it to Nash, and the Suns immediately launched a fast break.

Kobe retreated quickly, but the Suns' iconic V-shaped fast break prevented him from taking care of both sides.

Nash deceived Kobe with a fake pass, and after pulling back, he flew to the basket and scored!

4 to 0!

The Suns, playing away from home, gave the Lakers a start!

Fisher played Nash again. This time he didn't call a pick-and-roll. After breaking through, he faced Nash and made a mid-range shot.

"Dang!"

Still blacksmithing!

Live footage of Phil Jackson.

The Lakers' opening strategy completely failed!

"Uh-huh!"

Before the camera had time to cut back, the Suns quickly played faster, and Nash took advantage of Lin Ying's pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer!

The loyal man, Lao Na, is continuing the state of playing with the Spurs!

7 to 0!

The Suns had a perfect start!

And the key is that all three of their opening shots hit without exception. This is a terrifying hit rate!

Not to mention the fans, the Lakers players on the court were greatly affected.

Although the Lakers did not despise the Suns, as Kobe showed in the opening, they obviously did not expect the Suns to be in such a good opening state!

Phil Jackson whistled.

The Lakers have adjusted their offensive strategy.

Gasol receives the ball in the low post and the triangle offense begins!

When he was with the Nuggets, Lin Ying basically didn't have much to do against Gasol. He had to fight for several rounds to defend against the next ball, and in the end, they would only blow each other up.

But now I still have to say that Grover's training methods are good. After his various physical qualities have been enhanced, the effect of playing Gasol is obviously better than before.

Gasol tried twice but failed to penetrate, and finally chose to turn around and lean back.

He played very smartly and suppressed Lin Ying's center of gravity in advance. Coupled with his long arms, Lin Ying could not reach him.

However, it is difficult to hit the ball like this, and Lin Ying still faces some confrontation, so his shot looks a bit skewed.

"Dang!"

The ball finally hit the basket and came out!

The Lakers still couldn't score!

This time, Xiao stuck Bynum to protect the defensive rebound.

The Suns had a fast break. Richardson was blocked by Kobe Bryant's defense, but Lin Ying, who followed up, picked up the ball and scored a tip-in!

The Suns' offensive continues!

9 to 0!

The point difference is about to reach double digits!

The fans at the scene were agitated.

They thought of countless possibilities, but they never imagined that the Lakers would be beaten so hard at the beginning!

The Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and Kobe finally got the ball!

Gentry turned around and called Allen up.

Nash had already told Gentry the final result of the Suns players' collective efforts.

Among them, the second piece of information given by Kobe's close friend Butler: Generally, in the first game of a series, Kobe will let his teammates attack first!

This is why Gentry arranged for Richardson to start.

Create a time difference and quickly establish an advantage before Kobe attacks.

Judging from the results, his strategy worked perfectly!

Kobe broke through Richardson with the ball, and his breakthrough movement was huge.

It was obvious that the team's start made him a little anxious.

But he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Before he could get to the basket, his feet slipped and fell!

Although he reacted quickly and made a timeout gesture the moment he fell to the ground, the ball still belongs to the Lakers, but this forced timeout is obviously not a good thing!

The fans at the scene were restless.

They look at the sun the same way everyone else does.

A sunset that is about to set in the west is just a foil for the Lakers' new dynasty.

But at this moment, they seemed to hear the sound of a "dang" bell. The clouds and fog blocking the setting sun suddenly dispersed, and the blood-red light came directly, and it was so dazzling!

After the timeout, there were substitution adjustments on both sides. Odom came on to replace Bynum on the Lakers' side, and Allen came on to replace Richardson on the Suns' side.

The Lakers have the ball, and Gasol continues to hold the ball in the low post, but he is not trying to attack the basket, but holding the ball to support in the low post.

Kobe made a reverse run to catch the ball.

But he couldn't get rid of Allen!

Allen was like a piece of dog-skin plaster stuck to Kobe.

By the time Kobe finally got the ball, he had fought Allen at least four or five times.

After Gasol saw it, he took the initiative to pick and roll, but Allen slipped over like a loach.

Compared with when he was with the Nuggets, his defense has improved significantly!

Kobe pulled out his hand forcefully.

"Dang!"

Off the mark!

The Lakers' timeout tactics didn't work out!

And Kobe is obviously not used to this sudden surge in defensive intensity.

Lin Ying blocked Odom for another defensive rebound. The Suns counterattacked again, and Butler chased after him and made a three-pointer.

"Dang!"

The ball went in and bounced out.

Really scary to death!

However, although they were lucky enough to escape the disaster, the problem still lies before the Lakers.

If they can't score yet, it will be a matter of time before the Suns open the score.

Kobe directly received the ball from outside the three-point line and faced Allen.

After a fake shot, the breakthrough changed direction and then turned around and fell back.

Allen's defense was in place, but Kobe avoided the interference by staying in the air.

This ball is difficult.

"Uh-huh!"

But Kobe threw the ball in!

It only took one round for him to find his offensive rhythm.

The Lakers finally scored!

However, Kobe's face was expressionless after scoring, and it was obvious that the current passive situation made him unhappy.

The Suns' offensive continues!

After Stoudemire set a pick-and-roll for Butler, he walked out uncharacteristically. After receiving a pass from Lin Ying, he shot from mid-range.

"Uh-huh!"

Come in too!

Stoudemire's mid-range shot is both rough and fine!

He and Nash have already scored 11 points together in the opening game!

The fans at the scene were stunned, and the Suns' opening shocked them deeply.

"Uh-huh!"

But it's Kobe again, his fake shot from outside the three-point line turns into a real shot, and the three-pointer rises and falls!

11 to 5!

In the blink of an eye, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 6 points!

He wears a purple gold crown with three-pronged hair, a Xichuan red cotton robe with hundreds of flowers, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, an exquisite lion belt, Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and he sits down with a red rabbit and a horse neighing.

The heroes compete for the strongest general in Japan, Fengxian Kobe!

What? The previous An Fengxian?

That's false! Yuan Gongli pretended to be! They were completely out of shape in the first round!

Kobe's five points were very crucial to the Lakers. They forced the Lakers to survive and allowed the Lakers to recover from being stunned by shots in the opening game.

Butler's shot from the bottom corner was directly blocked by Gasol!

Moreover, the ball was caught by Odom, and the Suns' offense was interrupted!

When the Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, Gasol moved to the top of the key to give Kobita space to attack.

Allen's defense was more focused at this time, and he constantly challenged Kobe to consume Kobe's energy.

His defense couldn't be better. Kobe changed from facing the frame to behind the frame.

There was a lot of physical confrontation between the two, but Kobe's footsteps were very beautiful, keeping him in a state where he could launch an attack at any time.

After a fake move that seemed like he was going to shoot, he suddenly turned around and broke through to the baseline, and then shot backwards from an almost negative angle.

Allen's interference was almost offensive, but Kobe's rhythm was not disrupted at all.

"Uh-huh!"

besides!

What is invincibility!

Kobe scored 7 points in a row!

Staples Center erupted in cheers.

These 7 points, especially the difficult goal just now, liberated them from the depressing atmosphere at the beginning.

The pressure is now on the Suns!

This is also the strength gap between the Lakers and Spurs.

The G1 Suns, who played the Spurs before, were also in good shape and defeated the Spurs directly.

But even if their condition was better tonight, the Lakers still withstood it in the end!

11 to 7!

The point difference is only 4 points!

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene began to cheer, and the cheers were deafening.

The Lakers' defensive intensity has also increased!

Especially after Bynum went down, the Lakers' defensive mobility has also been improved.

The Suns' tactics were suppressed!

Nash's pass was directly intercepted by Ariza!

The Lakers countered the Suns' fast break. Kobe avoided Allen's cut ball during the fast break, jumped up and dunked with both hands to score!

After dunking, his right hand hung on the rim for a while before landing.

The cheers at Staples Center can no longer be stopped!

Gentry's strategy was successful, but Kobe's ability to adjust was too strong at his peak.

And compared to others on the Lakers, Kobe was obviously more prepared for this game!

There is only one ball left!

The loyal Nash and the little bully Stoudemire barely managed a draw with Kobe.

Gentry waved his hand and made another adjustment, and Richardson came on again to replace Allen.

After the Suns advanced to the frontcourt, Lin Ying took the initiative to screen Nash. After the pick-and-roll, he caught the ball in a misplaced position and met Fisher.

"If the tactics can't open up the situation, use Lin Ying's singles to open up the situation."

After a season of running-in and the accumulation of experience in the first two rounds of the playoffs, this has become Gentry's fixed adjustment mode.

Lin Ying held the ball and faced Fisher.

Fisher is obviously a little weak.

It was a familiar scene. When the Nuggets beat the Lakers, Lin Ying caught him and beat him.

Moreover, after replacing Richardson, the Suns have stronger shooting ability and more space on the court than the Nuggets, making it difficult to help defend.

Lin Ying, directly changed direction and broke through!

Fisher protected Lin Ying with his hands in front of his chest and hit someone with the ball, but Lin Ying was more flexible than he expected and had already dodged and turned him into a wooden stake.

"Bang!"

Moreover, Lin Ying's finish was quite clean, ending the attack with a one-handed dunk.

Kobe plays again in the frontcourt, and Butler on the weak side shrinks directly inside.

This is also the result of yesterday's collective efforts, which appropriately gave Ariza some opportunities.

Kobe also passed the ball decisively, and Ariza had a three-point chance from the bottom corner.

"Dang!"

It's him, it's him, our hero Xiao Tiezha!

The ball was a bit skewed, and it hit the front line directly and turned into a long backboard.

Lin Yingfei grabbed the rebound and turned around to start a fast break.

Kobe chased after him.

When Lin Ying soared into the air in the frontcourt, Kobe also jumped up to block the shot.

But Lin Ying's next move surprised Kobe. He used a lever to avoid the block... and smashed the ball into the basket!

Visible bouncing and airborne progress!

15 to 9!

The Suns widened the point difference again!

The scene was agitated.

Big brother and third brother, don’t panic, the second brother is here!

…

Under Xijue City, the sky is filled with yellow sand.

Phoenix surrounded Kobe for a while.

No matter how brave Kobe was, he didn't have a strong head or six arms. Seeing his defeat revealed, he could only drag Fang Tian backwards to draw a halberd and a Pegasus to dodge.

At this moment, I just heard the sound of a drum, the gates of the Western Conference opened wide, and I saw Gasol leading the Los Angeles "Flying Bear Army" to kill.

There was a slight sound, and another drum sounded, but it was "General Yang Lie" Odom leading the army.

The sound of killing was loud, and both armies moved forward.

Vision is like the light of the sword, the shadow of the sword, only to kill in darkness!
