Chapter 517: [Stubborn, kill again]

In the second quarter, the two sides started a battle of battles. You come and go.

Five Lakers: Mo Williams, Hoiberg, Ariza, Dior, Odom.

Five of the Suns: Barbosa, Jim Jackson, Hill, Walter McCarty, Hunt.

However, the Suns failed to close the point difference. When D'Antoni sent him to the starting lineup, the Lakers could continue to play with the bench. The three continued to fight, but Kobe and Iguodala replaced Ariza and Hoiberg to strengthen their defense.

Yao Ming was not in the second half, and it was much better to change the pick-and-roll and the fast-break.

Although the return of the Sun Ball lineup is fast, the defense against the Lakers has to work harder, because the Lakers have Kobe Bryant's single heading, and the combination of sudden points and shots is perfect. In the fast break, the Sun couldn't capture Kobe, and the other four were very fast, and Odom could get down quickly.

The Lakers led 67-53 into the second half.

Yao Ming, Rashid, and Jones returned to the field after a full quarter of rest. Kobe continued to play physically, and the shooting guard was Hoiberg.

This set of lineups has three points, strong attacks, breakthroughs, but the sun still has to rely on running. Once the speed slows down, the offensive efficiency will drop. It is difficult for them to enter the restricted area under the defense of Yao Ming and Rashid. One big man guards out, and the other is near the restricted area, which can guarantee interference.

Marion and Hill's three-point shooting was unstable, veteran Jim Jackson made a three-point shot, and the defense was worse.

D'Antoni's solution is the same as last season, that is, the main force is dead. The team mainly rotates seven people. Hunter and three-point power forward McCarty dare not change it.

Nash is worthy of being a super defender. He always finds free teammates as assists. His shooting percentage is also very high, suppressing Mo Williams and Jones. But Nash can only attack, and the defensive end is a weakness. When the teammates' physical strength decreases and the defensive strength decreases, the sun will not work.

In the second half of the last quarter, O'Neal, who lacked a substitute, became a floor stream and could not jump. He also played a long time in the first round of 7 games, and took a day off without recovering his best form.

Yang Rui arranged for the player to hang the ball to the low position again and again to play for Yao Mingqiang. Yao Ming controlled the playing time. He only played 20 minutes in the third quarter. The last quarter was easily full. He turned around and hooked up, turned around and jumped. The clip will also divide the ball.

Yao Ming, who is full of energy, is an offensive killer. Even if O'Neal is full of physical defense, it will be difficult. What's more, he is now boring? He played 43 minutes in the game and was still a guest center.

In this section, Yao Ming made 7 of 9 shots, 4 of 4 free throws and scored 18 points and 4 rebounds. He was replaced two minutes early and the game entered garbage time.

Yao Ming made 15 of 21 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, 36 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Bryant scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal. His shooting percentage also reached 50%.

The Lakers won 133 to 106 and easily made the series start.

Zhang reasonable smiled: "Yao Ming's performance in the last quarter is very good. Now those who say that he is afraid of running and hitting the sun will be weak. Yang Rui has a way to take advantage of Yao Ming's strength and allocate his physical strength reasonably. ."

Yu Jia said: "From today's game, I think it's not difficult for the Lakers to eliminate the Suns. Whether they can win this year depends mainly on the Western Conference finals. The Spurs' poor record in the regular season is because Duncan and Malone are both missing. In the game, their strength is also very strong, the lineup is not inferior to the Lakers."

After the game, the media have always talked about it, saying that D'Antoni is too rigid to use, too few players to rotate, 7 players to beat each other and 10 players to rotate, the physical strength will definitely suffer.

D'Antoni defended himself: "We were a lot behind in the first quarter. What do you want me to do? Replace Nash and O'Neal? How strong are the Lakers' offenses? Everyone sees it. Reasonably allocate players' physical strength, the Suns play It’s better. It’s just hypothetical, it doesn’t make much sense.”

In addition, D'Antoni also said that he did not give other players the opportunity to play means that they are not good enough.

In an interview, Yang Rui smiled and said: "I don't think the Suns lost because of a bad rotation. The Suns are good, but the Lakers are better. If Mike uses the bench, they will definitely lose even worse. Hunter if It is the main center of the Suns. If Yao Ming does not get 40+10 per game, I think he is embarrassed to say hello to his teammates."

On the face of it, Yang Rui was excused for D'Antoni's hiring. In fact, he was pitting the sun. Without rotation, O'Neal was exhausted.

The Suns started with three people averaging more than 40 minutes per game, Hill and Bell each surpassing 35 minutes, and the very characteristic "Brazil Lightning" Barbosa played only 10 minutes per game, much shorter than the regular season. D'Antoni's employment is indeed problematic.

The next day, Los Angeles fans continued to dominate the network. Some people said bad things about the Lakers, and they would form a team to refute.

Black Yao name? Look at Yao Ming's playoff efficiency. It's easy to get 20+10 in 30 minutes.

Black Kobe? Has the scoring king black moved for three consecutive years?

The Lakers fans also had a civil war. Some Chinese fans said that Kobe's ability to lead the team was very poor. It was because of the inner thighs of Yao Ming, Rashid and Odom that he played. Komi defended Kobe's position as the boss, saying that Yao Ming became stronger only when he was around Kobe.

Human ambition will grow at any time, even if the players do not fight for the boss, fans also hope that their idol is more perfect.

Yang Rui’s fans are the most pleasant, and his black powder is the least. Anyone who blacks him in the basketball field will be treated as a neuropathy, and if he is black, he can only blacken his peculiar taste and like big fat...

The second battle continued in Los Angeles.

D'Antoni made adjustments at the opening to allow Jim Jackson, who is a good three-pointer, to start ~lightnovelpub.net~ Hill as a substitute. In this way, the positional battle can more open up the space, the defensive person marks the person, let Bell continue to defend Kobe.

Kobe and Yao Ming cooperated more and more with each other. After the pick-and-roll, they broke through, resolutely walked the side of O'Neal, and then looked for opportunities to pass Yao Ming. If you can't pass it directly, find Rashid outside and let him pass inside.

O'Neal is against Kobe, and Marion and Rashid are on the outside. He has a short half head, can prevent breakthroughs, interfere with shots, and can't stop the pass. In addition to O'Neal, the other four Suns players against Yao Ming, can not stop him from shooting.

In fact, there is not much work to be done by Yao Ming, covering, catching the ball with his back, turning around and hooking. In the face of Little O'Neal, he would shake his shoulders to make fake moves. Others saved even fake moves, completely crushed by their height.

Hill did not take advantage of the bench. What makes him the most depressing is that the main defense is not Kobe or Iguodala, but the second-round rookie Ariza.

Ariza's three points this season basically rely on Mongolia, scoring are fast breaks to pick up leaks, the only ability to approach Yang Rui's previous life is defense, he is fast, tall, well-armed, defensive frame attack is very good.

If it is Hill at the peak, one-on-one will definitely be able to clean up Ariza, but after many injuries, Hill dare not try to run in a wide range of directions, forcibly break through and hurt the knee.

Yao Ming rested for another full quarter. When he came back in the second half, his opponent couldn't eat enough, and the points widened.

Entering garbage time in the second half of the last quarter, Yang Rui made a new trick and sent a five-swinger lineup, Dior, Ariza, Iguodala, Wharton, Odom, who could not see who was the point guard and who was Center, various misalignments on the field.

The best part is that, with the exception of Ariza, all four have a good sense of passing and can distribute the ball to the right place.

The Sun also sent a substitute, unable to withstand the Lakers' offense, and was slaughtered again.
