The left wing was low, Pharaoh took the ball again, stepped back, turned around, and made a breakthrough to the basket.

   This time, the withdrawal step is different from the previous one. Before, it was a diagonal withdrawal, but this time it is a straight withdrawal.

   "Not true."

   Duncan's reaction was still very fast, and he immediately retreated, but he immediately found out that there was a problem. Old K's retreat direction was wrong, and he and Old K were no longer on the same line.

   But at this moment, Wang Tiejun took a direct step, avoided Duncan's front, and rushed into the paint area.

"what?"

   The expressionless Duncan was shocked and his eyes widened instantly.

"Oops!"

   The big dream that the weak side is going back to the basket also knows that it is not good. Duncan is retreating to the bottom line. Now he is exposed to the sight of old K. The ball is coming to him.

   "Force buckle?"

   The Lakers fans in the audience were instantly excited, and the adrenaline in their bodies burst out instantly.

   The next moment, Pharaoh jumped up, his left elbow stuck against Duncan, and his right hand held the ball, smashing the basket.

  Duncan was pushed outside, and he didn't care about fouling. Before taking off, he directly folded his arms, and then pulled down, pulling the old K, who was about to have a big dream, down from the sky.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle rang immediately.

   "The fifth offense, Duncan's fifth offense." Su Qun said excitedly.

   "The big dream has only three fouls. Duncan has four fouls before. I guess the iron army's attack this time is actually aimed at making Duncan's foul." Zhang Lili laughed.

   "It's possible." Su Qun nodded.

   On the field, Pharaoh made a free throw and hit two of two free throws.

  The Trail Blazers attacked, and Mumbai made a breakthrough with the ball.

   Kobe was the main defense today at the request of Pharaoh, but he was still punched by Momo. Momo has scored 19 points so far, 15 of which were on his head.

   But this time, he kept up with Momo’s breakthrough, because until now, the Lakers have more rotations, and his physical fitness is better than Momo’s.

"Snapped!"

   Momonga was strong, he used his body to keep squeezing the opponent while chasing and defending, causing the former to make a mistake and stealing the ball, and then immediately launched a counterattack.

"boom!"

   In the cheers of the Lakers fans in the audience, Kobe flew up, turned around in the air, buckled his hands behind his back, and scored a goal.

   "Beautiful, Kobe Bryant used his defense at a critical moment to complete a fast break of stealing a train." Lao Zhang said happily.

   "The little flying squirrel can't run fast anymore." Su Qun laughed.

   "Except for the Tiejun, the average playing time of the four main players of the Blazers is about seven or eight minutes longer than that of the main players of the Lakers. This is the advantage of the thickness of the lineup. I can rest, but you can't." Zhang Lili laughed.

  Su Qun said with a smile: "In fact, except for the old K, in the playoffs, the other positions of the Lakers are rotated, and it doesn't matter whether the main team or the bench lineup."

"Yes, in the regular season for the purpose of training rookies, Kobe and Fortson played more time, but in the playoffs, Danny Fortson and Tyron Hill played about the same time, Chris Mullin and Rick. Although Fox is a substitute, his playing time has reached 20 minutes, seven people play four positions, and the rotation is very sufficient." Nodding, Zhang Lili said.

"boom!"

  The Trail Blazers attacked, and Ryder couldn't move suddenly. He shot against Chris Mullin's defense and missed the shot.

   Mullin's defense is limited to being tall enough, only average, but not weak. He averaged 1.3 steals per game this season, and he has an attitude in defense.

   "Give it in."

   Seeing Ryder still throwing waves outside at such a critical moment, Dunleavy was furious, roaring and yelling from the sidelines.

   Lakers offense.

   Today, Pharaoh didn't go directly to the basket, but this time, he ran directly to the basket.

  Duncan went around immediately, and Da Meng approached the basket, ready to double-team the basket.

   But at this moment, Pharaoh, who had just approached the basket, suddenly took a step to the left of the basket. Between turning and taking a step, Duncan got stuck with his left elbow and raised his right hand for the ball.

   At the top of the arc, Kobe had been ready for a long time. He knew that Old K wanted to take a position under the basket, that is, he wanted to attack. He immediately took a step back and passed the ball from the head of Momoko.

"damn it!"

   passed the ball from his head again, Momo scolded secretly.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh catches the ball, the big dream on the right wing has jumped behind him, Duncan has wrapped his left arm, and the double-team has been completed.

The next moment, his left foot did not move, his right foot slid a half-arc on the floor, leaned on Duncan and took a step back, withdrew from the front left of the basket to the front of the basket, flashing a big dream and reaching out from behind. At the same time as the little magic hand who came to stab the ball, he started on one foot, pressed Duncan with his left arm to prevent him from jumping, and held the ball with his right to force a dunk.

"boom!"

Duncan took the initiative to hold the old K's left arm, and it was too late to let go. He was crushed to death by the huge force. With the strength of one arm and the tonnage of 135 kilograms, he couldn't even get off the ground. , was detained a solid.

   "Di!"

   In the cheers of the audience, the referee's whistle sounded, two points were counted, and Duncan gestured to block the foul.

   "Beautiful! Tim Duncan made six fouls, and the old K knocked out the super No. 1 pick. Now the Lakers have the initiative in the G1 battle." Su Qun said excitedly.

"No accident, this game should be no problem. The Tie Jun can switch from offense to defense next. Under his defense, it is impossible for Da Meng to play explosive offensive firepower. Momo and Ryder are also tired now. There is almost no chance of a blockbuster performance, the Lakers have taken control of the situation and victory is in sight." Zhang Lili said happily.

   His words were honored by the Lakers. After a few minutes, the game was over. The Lakers won the G1 game, 96:107, and won by 11 points.

  Wang Tiejun was substituted in the 46th minute and enjoyed the applause of the Lakers fans alone.

Su Qun said excitedly: "Old K scored 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks and 2 turnovers in 45 minutes and 24 seconds. 4 foul data.

   In addition, Richmond scored 15 points, Chris Mullin scored 11 points, and Rick Fox scored 10 points. Four of the team scored in double figures. There are Kobe 7 points, Hill 6 points, Fordson 6 points, Mark Price 5 points.

   In this game, the Lakers had a total of nine rotations. Old K and seven important rotation players scored a total of 105 points. Fisher, who played 5 minutes, scored the last two points. "

   Zhang Lili continued: "For the Blazers, Da Meng scored 33 points, shot 55.6%, and blew Fortson and Hill.

  Duncan scored 18 points, but the shooting rate was only 38.5%, which was greatly missed by the iron army, but it was also in line with the matchup performance of the two of them in the regular season.

   The Flying Squirrel scored 21 points and shot 42.5%, which was higher than the efficiency of the previous two series. Ryder scored 14 points and shot 41.2%.

   The four main players of the Blazers scored a total of 86 points, the team's sixth man Brian Grant scored 7 points, and the other substitutes scored 3 points.

  The Trail Blazers only had eight rotations, and the three bench players scored a total of 10 points, but the Lakers' bench scored 29 points, and the Lakers won by 11 points. "

   "Haha, if you put aside the performance of old K, it is the substitute that decides the outcome of the game." Su Qun laughed.

   Zhang rationally analyzed: "Tiejun's performance is decisive. He played beautiful offense and defense, and at the same time limited Duncan's performance. This is a foundation. Without this foundation, no matter how good the bench lineup is, it will not be able to win the Blazers."

Su Qun asked: "Guide Zhang, the two big insiders of the Blazers are top-level offense and defense, but they let Old K score 45 points on his head, and the hit rate is as high as 60%. This must be a problem with the defense, then their defense. where is the problem?"

Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "Except for the period at the beginning of the game, when the Tie Jun played too fiercely, so that Da Meng and Duncan didn't react. In other periods, as long as Da Meng and Duncan were on the court at the same time, there was no problem with the Tie Jun's defense. .

We can look at the shooting percentage of the Tiejun in the first quarter. They made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game, and then Da Meng and Duncan strengthened their defense. He immediately went 2-for-2 from the field, 8-of-11 from the field and 72.7 percent from the field.

   Forget the opening and last paragraph of the first quarter. We only look at the middle period. It should be the normal performance of Da Meng and Duncan in defending the Iron Army, which can limit the efficiency of the Iron Army to 50%, which is already very good.

  If the Iron Army’s overall shooting rate in a game is only 50%, then he is just an ordinary star with average efficiency, and it is not much of a dominant player. The Lakers are also likely to fall at the feet of the Blazers. "

"I understand."

Su Qun thought for a while and said, "Dameng and Duncan were unable to maintain a high-energy defense against Old K for the entire game because of their physical fitness. As long as one of them ends up in the game, and one of them suffers from a lack of physical fitness, Old K can beat the other. One, that's why they couldn't work together to guard the old King."

Zhang Lili said: "Actually, the Lakers don't have a big advantage as a whole today. The perimeter defense is the same as the Trail Blazers, and they only have one more rebound. Duncan and Da Meng are very good at rebounding. If it weren't for the Lakers' Tiejun and Hill, , Fordson are also very good at grabbing, and they can fall behind in rebounding, that is, the victory is on the point of the Iron Army and the thickness of the lineup."

  …

   On the ABC live broadcast, Elanton analyzed: "It's still a problem in the regular season. The two big insiders of the Trail Blazers can't prevent the old K, but the old K can limit Duncan.

  Although Duncan scored 18 points, Old K hit more than 60% of the shots, so his efficiency seems to be

   is seriously not enough. Under the condition that Old K maintains a strong confrontation, it is difficult for him to maintain his technical movements without deforming, and it is also difficult for him to score to the basket. Ninety percent of all of his offenses are outside the paint, which prevents his efficiency from being effectively improved. "

  Gomez nodded and said: "The Blazers lost, the bench is an important reason, but Duncan is the most important reason. If this is not solved, the Blazers will be very dangerous.

   As the series deepens, it will further approach the physical limit of the players, and the state will continue to decline, but we have seen the physical advantage of old K, which will be the biggest problem faced by the Blazers and the biggest advantage of the Lakers. "

  Pharaoh was being interviewed by ABC TV on the sidelines. He played for 45 minutes. With his physical level, he was very tired, but he won the game, so he was very excited.

   "Old K, how much of your strength did you play tonight?" the reporter asked with a smile.

  Pharaoh said without hesitation: "100%, against the Blazers, I can't keep playing. If I do, I'll probably lose."

   "What do you think of the Blazers?" the reporter asked again.

   Pharaoh said while thinking: "For the entire league, they are a very strong super team, but their strengths and weaknesses are also quite obvious. The top offensive and defensive interior combination is not efficient enough on the outside, and the defense is weak.

  I think next season if they adjust their perimeter lineup and bench lineup, they will be stronger and have the qualifications to really reach the finals, but it is still a little short. "

   "Do you think the Lakers will beat the Blazers?" the reporter asked again.

Pharaoh said confidently: "This is for sure, our confidence is extremely strong and cannot be questioned. In fact, our lineup is also quite strong, no worse than them. If they can't defend against my attack, they are attacked by me on the offensive end. Limit, then they have already lost half, and if they lose to us again in terms of lineup thickness, they will lose the other half.”

   "How would you rate Duncan?" the reporter finally asked.

   Since this season, this question has been asked badly, but when the media interviewed him, he was still happy to ask this question. Pharaoh could only say patiently:

   "He is very good. Under my full defense, he also scored 18 points and 9 rebounds today, and almost got 20+10 data.

   I hope he will continue to work hard and perform better in the remaining games of the Western Conference Finals, which will also make our Western Conference champion a little better. "

   ended the interview. He and the fans at the scene said goodbye to friends and returned to the locker room with his teammates.

   They left, and the media immediately found some players on the scene and began to interview them.

   "Charles, Kevin, Erwin, what do you think of this game?" The reporter found a group of Barkleys, several stars on their side.

Barkley immediately said: "Old K scored 45 points, and Hakim and Duncan scored 51 points together. He alone carried the two big inside points of the Blazers, and he was more efficient. The situation is very clear. The Blazers' defense against the old K is a complete failure, and if there is no targeted change, they will lose."

Lightning went on to say: "Today, the Blazers lost. First, the thickness of the lineup was not as good as the Lakers. Second, the defense. I won't talk about the lineup. Failed.

The point of   Old K is the key. Old K cannot be prevented. Therefore, the Bulls were defeated by our Suns three times, and Michael Jordan was unable to save the defeat.

   If you change to the Blazers, it’s not enough to guard against the old K. As long as you can play the low-post attack in the interior, you will have a chance to win.

   But Duncan also made the old K defense hit less than 40%, which is not as good as two outside lines, which is the most important reason for losing.

   Outside defense, in fact, the Lakers' outside defense today is also average, they didn't defend the opponent, they just fought each other, and no one took advantage. "

Magic Johnson took over the conversation and said confidently: "We really didn't take advantage of the outside, but the rotation of the players is more abundant and the physical fitness is better. As the series deepens, I think we will definitely have the upper hand. .

   When our outside line has the upper hand, plus the advantage of old K in the inside line, we will definitely be able to defeat the Blazers and reach the finals. "

   At this time, the reporter asked Kareem on Kareem's head and asked, "Karim, what do you think of the strength of old K in the low post?"

Abdul-Jabbar shook his head and said with emotion: "I can only say that the old K is too strong! Big Dream and Duncan are both top offensive and defensive insiders, but they can't defend against the old K's attack together. It's a show of dominance!

As for the old K's defense, I always think his defense is slightly inferior to the offense. His offense is really invincible, just like Michael Jordan's offense on the perimeter. He has an unprecedented dominance in the low post on the offensive end. force. "

   "Do you think Da Meng and Duncan have a chance to restrain Old K?" the reporter asked again.

  Jabbar hesitated and then said: "Currently Tim Duncan is still a little inexperienced, he is indeed a complete body, and he is the peak when he debuts. When facing other opponents, he can efficiently play 20+10 superstar data.

   But he is now facing old K, the first player in active duty, the first center in active duty, and even the first center in history, a horrible guy who is qualified to be the first in history, so he seems to be a little disheartened.

   Now you ask me, can he and Da Meng limit the old king, then tell you, it is also possible that they did limit the old king a lot of times tonight.

Old K broke out with all his strength today and shot 66.6% of his shots. In his playoff statistics, he is not very good. He can even hit 70% of his shots in the finals, which shows that the defense of the two of them is really good. is effective.

   The key is that they always have one person off the court for a lot of time, which makes their defense less than the intensity that can really limit the old K. "
