"Ding, gaining the favor of Nash, Son of the Wind is worth 2000!"
"Ding, gaining the favor of the little bully Xiao Si is worth 2500!"
"Ding, gaining the favorability of Hacker Marion is worth 2700!"
"Ding, get the Black Mamba Kobe's rage value of 8,000!"
“Ding, get 3,500 future coach Walton’s anger points!
"
"..."
After the game, Su Bei checked the system information and found that, as expected, the "qi earning" value for winning in the first playoff game was neither high nor low.
“The Lakers are still too weak.
Teammates hardly see their opponents as alive!
After all, this is the first playoff game, and it is still somewhat fresh. Otherwise, the numbers would have dropped even further.
It seems that the Lakers don’t have much room for anger..."
After rinsing and putting on new clothes, Su Bei attended the post-match press conference. After answering a few questions, he went back to his home to find his mother.
They are both in the Pacific Division. They play 4 games in a regular season, which is almost equivalent to playing as an open card.
On the Suns' offseason, I didn't specifically practice any tactics against the opponents. I still focused on finding the feeling of the game and shooting.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, April 24th comes, and the coordinate is still the American West Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the Suns' home court is about to host a first-round G2 game with the Lakers.
After a simple appearance and warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides came out.
The Lakers' starting five are Kwame Brown, Odom, Walton, Kobe and Farmar.
The Suns' starting five are Stoudemire, Marion, Su Bei, Laga Bell, and Nash.
The game was broadcast live across the United States on TNT and was narrated by Mike Breen and Marv Albert.
"The Lakers' strength can only go so far. It's really limited, and it's very difficult to change the starting lineup.
The Suns have room for adjustment, but their goals are higher. The target is not only the Lakers, but also a stronger opponent in the future. They cannot change the lineup at will unless they cannot beat them.
If nothing else, the Suns are still dominated by me. The Lakers need to make changes. When the head player Kobe Bryant scores 41 points and still loses, we should reflect on the team's problems. Next, let's take a look at the Lakers. Why is it broken..."
The game begins.
In the jump ball, Kwame Brown did not lose the face of the No. 1 pick, defeated Stoudemire, and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
"Farmar controlled the ball to the frontcourt, immediately passed the ball to Kobe, cut to the basket, and then slipped to the right three-point corner.
Kobe did not play, and distributed the ball to Odom, who moved from the left to the right, handing the basketball to the axis of the offensive triangle to organize.
Farmar cut inside and played a screen match with Odom. Farmar dumped Nash. Just as Su Bei wanted to switch defense, Odom immediately passed the ball to Walton, and he went back.
Walton pushed the ball with both hands and passed the basketball to Farmar, who was completely free. He caught the ball, jumped up, shot, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
He raised the knife and dropped it, hitting a three-pointer.
3 to 0!
The first person to open the scoring account for the Lakers was Farmar, not Kobe.
"The Lakers' triangle offense is so fluid.
The movement and screening of players, as well as subsequent passes and shots, can make the Suns' defense stretched and difficult to defend.
Jackson played the triangle offense too much. "
Off the court, D'Antoni's face was very calm.
Compared with the Lakers' scoring, which was finally made by role players, what he was more afraid of was that the Lakers' superstars would complete the final shot.
Now that role players are used as terminators, it is nothing more than proving that the Lakers do not have enough triangle offensive points.
The Lakers can't beat just one superstar's offensive point and triangle axis, so they play such a team game.
If the Lakers had enough stars in their lineup, they would not use such an open shooting tactic. It would be enough to create one-on-one opportunities for the stars.
Unlimited star duels are the soul of the triangle offense.
Now it's just open shots by role players. This kind of triangle offensive tactic is a low-end version.
Hong Kong is really not afraid of the Lakers' offensive offense!
He could see through the Lakers' hypocrisy at a glance. He just wanted to say one thing, Idol, you chose it. The Suns will defeat you. Even if Jesus comes, he can't save you.
On the court, the Suns attack.
Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll tactic. After being cracked, he was not in a hurry and continued to play a pick-and-roll tactic with Su Bei.
"It was my own homework to attack Farmar of the Lakers. I stole it from the last game.
Nash passed the ball hand to hand to Su Bei, caught the ball, lifted it up, jumped up, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
Three points into the net
3 to 3!
Farmar faced Su Bei's misplaced shot. His jump shot was very strong, but he still couldn't reach it. It was like McGrady's pull-up shot. With such a high shot point, what should he use to block the shot?
Compared with the complexity of the Lakers' offensive tactics, the Suns' offensive tactics are very simple, just throw after the screen. It is very similar to the style of the small ball era in the next 10 years. It cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
However, the current Suns are more like a short, fast and refreshing game, with a very exciting rhythm and impact. From now on, they will play the same type of game, and there will not be much excitement in the game.
"In the Lakers' offensive round, Farmar dribbled the ball across half court and did what Fisher did back then, handing the damn basketball to Kobe.
Huh!
Kobe passed the ball.
After passing the ball to Kwame Brown and playing a screen, Odom, who moved from left to right, turned around and there was a shooting opportunity..."
Swish——!
As the pivot, Odom can shoot, pass, and burst. After all, the Lakers' low-profile version of the triangle offensive tactic lacks a superstar-level offensive triangle point. As the pivot, he also needs to be both a father and a mother. When organizing and supporting, you also need to score as many points as possible.
5 to 3!
“Sure enough, the Lakers played better as a team.
In the past, at the beginning of the game, Kobe, the team's top player, was the bottle separator, but now Kobe plays the role of support.
Let the league's No. 1 shooting guard serve as a support player, and Jackson has great coaching authority.
It seems that the Lakers led in G1 all night, but were reversed by the Suns in the last quarter. Jackson often talked to Kobe about life and ideals, and Kobe also believed Jackson's evil. "
"Do you think it's possible that it's not that Kobe believed Jackson's deception, but that Kobe was angry with the team?
Kobe’s idea of playing like this is: Manager, you see, I am willing to play support, let’s see if the current ‘best team’ is reliable, whether it has a future, and whether it needs reinforcements...”
Of course, it is also possible that Jackson and Kobe Bryant can work together to vent their anger with the Lakers management and show everyone their cards to see how far the current "best team" can go?
On the court, the Suns attack.
"Nash launched a fast break, and Farmar couldn't stop it at all. Nash controlled the rhythm of the game and increased the speed.
In the frontcourt, Nash made a no-look pass and assisted Marion, who cut to the basket. He easily became the winner and scored the basketball with a civilian-style layup..."
Bang-dang——!
5 to 5!
Odom's defense is hard to describe in one word. Can you say he is not good?
It seems that anyone can guard against him, okay?
From time to time, I will miss someone or something for you, which is difficult to deal with anyway.
On the court, during the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe just stopped in the middle and still didn't take a shot, leaving the basketball to Odom for support.
The Suns' formation shrunk and they used their mobility to break the Lakers' teamwork and drive their offense out of the two-point line.
The athletic ability of Farmar and Walton is still far behind, and with Kwame Brown able to play in the air, the Lakers must shoot from the outside if they want to play high-quality team tactics.
To compete with the Suns in shooting, it depends on whether the Lakers have bullets in their pistols, and also how many bullets are there?
Seeing that his teammates couldn't find good opportunities, Kobe had to rely on him to attack.
Breakthrough, emergency stop, turn around, turn around with the ball, fade away jump shot...
Bang-dang——!
Kobe's shot missed.
"The Suns took off the rebound and launched a counterattack. Nash turned around and passed Farmar. While running, he passed the basketball to Su Bei.
Marion and Laga Bell were like two sharp knives, cutting straight into the basket while Kobe and Walton fought and retreated.
Three-on-two in the frontcourt, Su Bei dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, outside the three-point line, raised the ball and took aim, playing more and less, the Lakers had no choice but to gamble!
Bet on Su Bei missing a three-point shot. "
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei showed no mercy and continued to hit a three-pointer.
5 to 8!
“The Lakers were attacking and trying to play team basketball, and Kobe was just a jerk.
Odom caught the ball and provided a screen for Walton, who was cutting inside. While blocking Su Bei, he also handed the basketball to Walton.
Marion let Kwame Brown go, filled the position, ducked under the basket to block the shot, and Walton took a quick shot..."
Bang-dang——!
The Lakers' team basketball failed to continue its early start, and the offense failed to score.
On the contrary, the Suns' offense has found its form.
Although the speed was reduced, Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll strategy.
"Stoudemie withstood Farmar's block and hit a two-point jump shot."
…
"Marion and Nash's pick-and-roll tactics, Marion also scored two points on Farmar's head.
This is to keep plucking Farmar's wool! "
…
“The Lakers shrunk and tried to use zone defense tactics to force the Suns to shoot away from the basket.
The offensive level of Stoudemire and Marion, the two main core players, is too high. The Lakers can only make a choice to let the Suns' bullets fly from the outside. "
…
Swish——!
Swish——!
"Laga Bell caught the ball in an open position and scored a three-pointer. Kobe rushed back, but it was already too late."
“Su Bei’s mediocre three-pointer was still a hit.
The Suns' offense is firing on all cylinders.
Let the Suns' shooting bullets fly from the outside, and things will go wrong.
The Suns have expanded the point difference to double digits. Can they withstand the offense of the Lakers' role players? "
It is visually impossible to withstand it, Kobe can only break his teeth, and Odom take over the Lakers' offense. It is simply a dream to let Kobe retain his strength as a "secret weapon."
After the first quarter, Kobe made 5 of 8 shots and 1 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 11 points in a single quarter. In addition, Odom made 3 of 6 shots and scored 17 points in total. This prevented the Lakers from falling too far behind. .
35 to 27!
The Suns took an 8-point lead.
In the second quarter of the game, Jackson let Kobe rest. He didn't want to repeat the disaster in G1: when Kobe needed to step up and withstand the Suns' counterattack, Kobe had a 1-for-10 performance because his physical fuel tank was at the bottom.
tomato
Odom leads the team. He needs to work with Bynum to hold on for 6 minutes and wait for Kobe to regain his energy.
However, less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, Jackson was dumbfounded.
The rotating lineup of Barbosa, Marion, Diaw, Kurt Tomari and James Jones played a wave of attacks and beat the Lakers to a 7-0 climax.
"The Lakers with Kobe and the Lakers without Kobe are two different worlds.
Jackson is seeking death. To be fair, there is nothing wrong with his idea, and there is nothing wrong with adjusting it based on the situation of G1.
However, he overestimated the strength of the Lakers' role players and was stunned by a wave of blows. "
"Can Kobe be able to withstand the Suns' offense when he returns to the court?"
The answer is no.
After Kobe came on the court, he did not take over the offensive firepower of the Lakers. In other words, the Suns heavily guarded Kobe.
Next, Kobe continued to play assist. In the second quarter, he made 0 of 1 shots and scored 4 of 4 free throws.
Kobe no longer played casually, and seemed determined to make his teammates stand up, just attracting the Suns' offense.
However, I didn't expect that the Suns' offensive firepower would be so fierce.
At the end of the first half, the score was 71 to 48. The Suns were on full fire and entered the locker room to rest with a 23-point lead.
Jackson was completely dumbfounded.
The greatest sorrow for people is that people are gone and money is not spent.
Now, the saddest thing for him is that after losing the game, Kobe's physical fitness has not been exhausted yet, and he is still at full capacity.
He never expected that the Lakers' so-called team offense would not last the first half.
Where does the problem arise?
Is it Kobe's fault?
He is too powerful and his teammates are under pressure. Why can't he play well next to him?
Or is he so powerful that his teammates want to rely on him and leave the damn basketball to Kobe?
Or there is only one truth. Kobe is not blind. The current Lakers are a group of CBA teammates and he cannot help him.
Now it is meaningless to compare this truth. How to take the next road is the key to the problem?
When the second half of the game started, Jackson asked Kobe to start his personal attack mode. He wanted to maintain the Lakers' fundamentals.
However, Kobe was too tired.
The reality of the team made him very confused, and then he started to fight blindly. He only had one belief, that is, the team could lose, but Laga Bell must die!
However, Kobe ignored that there was someone behind Laga Bell!
Kobe changed his back from O'Neal to Odom.
"The Suns began to double-check Kobe, preferring other Lakers players to score rather than giving Kobe a chance to challenge one-on-one. Faced with intensive defensive attacks, Kobe's efficiency dropped to freezing point..."
With 1 of 5 shots, Kobe only scored 2 points in the third quarter and clocked out early.
The remaining Odom couldn't hold on, shooting 1 of 4 from the field. He followed Kobe's footsteps and only scored 2.
The Suns beat the Lakers 27-22, widening the point difference to 28 points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers had no one in the starting lineup and began to prepare for the G3 game.
The Suns were also very generous. They rotated the lineup and only continued to expand by 3 points.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 129 to 98, and the Suns gained another advantage with 31 points, extending the first-round lead to 2-0.
In this game for the Lakers, 5 players scored in double figures, and 3 more scored 9 points. It can be said that everyone is united and more flowers are blooming.
It's just that this flower is a bit small.
Kobe went from 34 shots in G1 to 6 of 13 shots in G2, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and only scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The No. 1 shooting guard in the league fought such a bad battle for the sake of the team, and the Lakers lost without any temper.
If you want to say that it really blooms more, you have to look at the Suns, with 6 players scoring.
Stoudemire had 20 points and 9 rebounds, Marion had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Nash had 16 points and 14 assists.
Su Bei had 17 points and 5 rebounds, performing like a senior role player.
