Chapter 216 The Evenly Matched Opening

The big screen gives the starting lineups on both sides.

The New York Knicks have not changed, and they are still the starting lineup.

The starting lineups of the Lakers are:

Deron Williams in the first position, Kobe Bryant in the second position, Ariza in the third position, Paul Gasol in the fourth position, Bynum in the fifth position;

Sitting on the bench...

"Old Fish" Fisher, former "blocking king" Theo Ratree, "wandering No. 1 pick" Joe Smith, Shannon Brown...

Li Wan looked at it and saw that his teammate in the Lakers had just left a "old fish" Fisher, and the others on the bench had changed a lot.

But in fact, if you look at the trading records in the past few years, you will find that the Lakers have a low presence in the trading market. But even so, the Lakers' lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes without realizing it.

And this is the NBA. Some incidents hit the fans' eyes, while others happened silently and unconsciously.

In just two years, the Lakers' bench has become "new wine in old bottles"...

It's getting less useful.

Well... Apart from Shannon Brown, the only useful one in this lineup is 37-year-old Fisher.

But there is no way. This season, the Lakers' salary space is indeed a bit embarrassing. None of the five starting players have an annual salary of less than 7 million yuan, and three of them have an annual salary of more than 15 million yuan!

With the fact that Old Bass has, the only way to maintain this lineup is...

If you suffer another harder, Kupchek will be charged with the crime!

Of course, the result of doing this is that it also makes the starting lineup suffer.

Until now, the Lakers' starting lineup has averaged more than 40 minutes per game. Bynum, who has a knee injury, is lesser per game, but he is also averaging more than 37 minutes per game!

When facing such a team, it is naturally a man-made attacker, and physical strength is the best...

D'Antoni was studying Spring and Autumn, so he naturally understood this principle. Before the game started, he emphasized again: "Listen, guys, don't be too anxious, just drag it slowly. As long as you bite the score until the end, then the winner will

It's us!"

This is the 10th time he said this today. Including yesterday, it is the 20th time.

Since the team really reached the finals, D'Antoni unconsciously became a "repeater". He would emphasize again and again in any aspect, for fear of any mistakes or that the players could not understand clearly.

If you want to ask why...

Do you know how long he has been waiting for this opportunity?

Starting from coaching the Suns in 2004...

7 years!

A full 7 years!

He is not trying to prove how great he is, but to prove:

Running and bombing can win the championship!

And now, it is still one step away from him proving this...

As long as he wins the next round of the series, he can also wear the hat of "champion coach" on his head.

In this case, it would be abnormal if D'Antoni had no changes!

"beep!"

The referee's whistle rang at this time.

Paul Gasol helped the Lakers grab the first attack.

Li Wan faces Delon Williams.

"Xiaopang" thought to force Li Wanyi first, but after the confrontation, he realized that this guy was indeed not the rookie who was only tall but had no confrontation.

It's hard to get rid of...

Deron quickly called Paul Gasol's pick-and-roll.

Li Wan chose to switch defense with Lewis.

Lewis' mobility is OK, and there is no problem keeping up with Deron Williams' movement speed.

But Deron Williams' dribbling rhythm made him feel a little restrained. He couldn't help but pounce. Deron Williams passed by him and made a mid-range jump shot.

2-0!

Taking mid-range shots after a single is Deron's unique skill, and it is also Sloan's forced practice. It is very stable.

The New York Knicks' counterattack.

When Li Wan went to the frontcourt, he faced not Kobe, but Deron Williams.

Delong is 1.91 meters tall and has a height advantage in the number one position. Although there is still a big gap in Li Wan, he will not jump and can only hit Li Wan's knee.

Kobe really wanted to be eyeing him, but Ray Allen, who was running, refused to agree. He would run suddenly from time to time, forcing Kobe to focus on him at any time.

Li Wan relied on Ray Allen to open up the space, watched Kobe move to a position where he could not make up for defense at the first time, and quickly broke through Deron Williams with the ball.

Deron reacted quickly.

When he comes to the Lakers, he has to prove himself again. Now he has a very good attitude on both offensive and defensive ends.

Li Wan was one step away from him, and suddenly "Sam Gord" Deron Williams reacted as soon as he was deceived. But when he wanted to correct his movements, his body's center of gravity made him fall to the side.

Can't come back.

At this moment, Delong watched Li Wan rush past him and said in his heart:

To lose weight, I must lose weight!

If he is 5 pounds lighter now, no, 10 pounds lighter, is this inertia so great that he can't control himself?

Li Wan, who rushed to the free throw line, faced only Bynum.

Before the "Little Shark" made his own choice, Li Wan had already completed the choice for him. A cricket tricked him into turning around and leaving the hard-earned position at the basket.

With space to jump, Yao took the ball and slashed it into the basket with one hand.

Bynum's only defense in the whole process came from his eyes...

Commonly known as "eye defense"!

This defense made Kobe's desire to attack soar.

If he doesn't quickly get two more, just this is a terrible thing, can he lead the win?

In the next round, Deron had just passed the half, and he took the ball from the latter.

Looking at Delong's appearance without saying a word, he knew that this guy was really aware of the Lakers when he came.

Li Wan was very disdainful of this. He didn't expect that Delong was such a person, so he bullied the old man who loved him. Why don't you dare to fight Kobe?

Kobe posed with the ball, and Artest pressed up like a red-eyed bullfighter, looking like "If you dare to attack, I will fight you for 300 rounds"!

If it were an ordinary person, he might be frightened by his appearance, but Kobe was "scared"? He had never been to college, so how could he be afraid that Artest would be a good match, and the two of them fought each other.

If we say that the current "Black Mamba" is really the first player in the NBA in terms of technology, but the problem is that now he basically uses confrontation and technology to break through his opponents, and rely solely on explosive power to break through his opponents.

Things were not a sign when he was young, and it was even worse now. Artest, whose horizontal movement speed became slower, is the only thing left now is confrontation!

This can be considered a hit to the muzzle!

Kobe gradually felt Artest's "hot love" and successfully lost himself. In the 2009 series against the Rockets, Kobe averaged 27.4 points + 5 rebounds + 3.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.5%.

Both the hit rate and the score are lower than the average of that season.

This shows that Artest does have his unique features in Kobe's defense.

For example, this "hot love" that is difficult for others to have.

The ball bounced out of the box and was held by Paul Gasol in advance. Although Yao Dayi squeezed Bynum away, his short hand was reflected at this moment.

Twisted his body and a beautiful hook, Gasol sent the ball into the basket.

This is his fourth year since he came to the Lakers, and his age has gone from 27 to 31, but his overall condition is still stable, with an average of 18.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, which is no difference from when he first came to the Lakers.

Even Kobe's form has declined this season, but he is the most stable point for the Lakers.

4-2!

The New York Knicks beat Li Liu to pick-and-roll this time.

Seeing Lewis moving towards Li Wan, Bynum could instinctively feel a word:

Danger!

Seeing this, Kobe got stuck in time and wanted to replace Li Wan behind the pick-and-roll.

Li Wan didn't notice this at the first time, but Lei Alan passed by a clever running position behind him, allowing him to notice in time that the "snake" opposite was lying on the other side.

Want to sneak attack?

A little garbage!
