Chapter 1237 1236. A Huge Win in the First Game! (9/10 Asking for Double Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 1237 1236. First victory! (910, please ask for double monthly pass)

A stormy first game of the finals!

Kobe Bryant scored 31 points and 6 assists on 10 of 25 shots, a shooting percentage of just 40%. Yao Ming made 9 of 17 shots, which was a good performance, but he was like O'Neal in 2004, fighting a trapped beast. , scored 25 points and 8 rebounds, Odom made 7 of 13 shots and scored 17 points and 14 rebounds.

The Lakers' three major stars performed very well on the offensive end, scoring 73 points together. The Lakers team also scored 101 points, and they performed very well against the Eagles' defense.

The Lakers' offensive rotation performance against the Eagles' defense was indeed very good. Facing the Eagles' fierce defense, the Lakers' offensive performance far exceeded their offensive performance when they met the Eagles in the regular season.

But the Lakers were scored by the Hawks by 127 points!

127 to 101, the Eagles played the Lakers in their first game and had a bloody massacre!

Liu Mang scored 38 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 14-of-24 shooting. Tracy McGrady scored 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, 7 rebounds and 13 assists. Rasheed Wallace hit 3 three-pointers and scored 16 points. Jason Te Lee had 15 points and 4 assists, Kwame Brown had 8 points and 12 rebounds, and the Eagles were having a blast! He got 26 assists and scored 127 points!

The Hawks didn't expect to have such a big advantage because they had just beaten the Heat with the combination of Wade and O'Neal and it was so difficult.

The Lakers have a similar configuration, with a super guard, a super center, and a jack-of-all-trades who can play from one to five. And judging from their current reputation, the Lakers' three-core team seems to be even more powerful.

Mainly because the Heat played so well, giving the Hawks pressure and the motivation to respond. The Hawks coaching staff racked their brains to plan offensive tactics against the Lakers' defense. It can be said that all aspects were considered. , and then launched a ferocious offensive frenzy.

Although the Lakers also achieved good efficiency against the Eagles' defense, the game lost suspense after three quarters. The Eagles led by up to 33 points.

The ground-breaking first game caused a sensation after the game!

Two days before the start of the finals, the promotion of this finals was as exaggerated as possible. The drug-addicted combination of Yao Ming, who is about to be 26, and Kobe, who is about to be 28, will begin to dominate the NBA like the OK combination. After all, the two The people are about the same age and are starting to reach their prime.

But when it came time for the game, they were beaten by the 73-win Eagles and had no power to fight back!

Zen Master said helplessly after the game that this was the worst talent of the team he coached to reach the finals. In the following games, he will study how to deal with the situation encountered in the first game.

When the sensation caused by the Hawks' crazy performance in the first game cooled down, people started complaining about the lineup and started to calmly compare the Lakers and the Hawks' last opponent, the Heat. Only after the performance difference was so big did I understand that compared to the Lakers and Heat, Kobe may be better than Wade, but Wade has a body hair whistle and Kobe does not.

Yao Ming and O'Neal are evenly matched. Now Yao Ming has a stronger scoring ability under the basket and a wider shooting range. O'Neal has better defense and better rebound protection. Judging from Yao Ming's first game, the performance of the two is about the same.

Odom also has a slight advantage over Antoine Walker.

But in other positions, the Heat are much better than the Lakers!

Wang Zhizhi is a very good role player, with an ability evaluation of 73, and he has shown his characteristics under the Zen Master. He can pass and shoot. However, compared with Haslem, Wang Zhizhi still has a certain gap, mainly on the defensive end. The difference is that Wang Zhizhi has better control on the offensive end. He has a 39% three-point shooting rate so far in his career.

Luke Walton vs. Posey...Fisher vs. Jason Williams...Vujacic vs. Payton...all-round disadvantages...

People are wondering, how did the Lakers' lineup reach the finals?

Look at the statistics of Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming in the Western Conference Finals, and look at Odom's statistics of averaging a triple-double in the second round when he was two assists away... It's easy to understand, it depends on the "Big Three"!

The Lakers lost the first game, but Kobe, Yao Ming, and Odom received higher evaluations.

Not to mention the role player lineup compared with the Heat, the current Lakers are far behind the role player lineup compared with the OK team that won three consecutive championships.

That Lakers team had Glenn Rice, Fox, Horry, Tyronn Lue, AC Green, Ron Harper...

If these teammates are given to Yao Ming, he will be crazy about it!

Give it to Kobe, he will feel like his whole body is covered in thighs...

Compared with the Hawks who receive a lot of rookie bonuses, and even Prince, a two-time first-defense player, has a rookie contract, the Lakers' role player lineup is too miserable.

For Zen Master, it doesn’t matter if the role players are miserable. With Kobe and Yao Ming around, the substitutes can make do; but in terms of starting, in addition to Fisher, Kobe, Odom, and Yao Ming, the fifth starter is Luke- The two choices of Walton and Wang Zhizhi are very good as role players, but when they are used as starters for a championship team... how miserable!

…

…

After the first game, the direction of public opinion changed suddenly. From the beginning, they advocated the strongest finals matchup, to now, they began to analyze it.

In China, the topic changed from the strongest Chinese derby to the fact that Yao Ming could make it to the finals without any other teammates except Kobe and Odom.

It is a fact that Kobe, Yao Ming and Odom made it to the finals with a relatively miserable lineup of role players. By guiding public opinion, Yao Ming's first game defeat actually improved his image.

Liu Mang brought great changes to the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming could change teams at will because of Liu Mang, a troublemaker with a bad reputation; he agreed to let Yi Jianlian play in American universities because of the core combination of Yao Ming and Liu Mang, and Wang Zhizhi, who has established a firm foothold in the NBA, so Yi Jianlian did not need to show up early, giving Yi Jianlian the opportunity to exercise himself.

But this does not mean that the national team can be so confident in Liu Mang. There is always a person who needs to check and balance Liu Mang from the public opinion, and this person is Yao Ming.

The term "officials protecting each other" is not just a casual remark. In terms of official titles, the director of the court station will not be lower than the chairman of the basketball association, but eating a meal and building a good relationship can accomplish many things with just one sentence.

In the past, Chenglanxin and Chaotingtai had a bad relationship, but now they have changed. Wei Yuanli is not so concerned about making money, but about the performance of the national team. This can be seen from the fact that he cut the CBA schedule by one third and held a national team training every three or two months.

Without conflicts of interest, the relationship between Chaotingtai and the Blue Association has inexplicably improved.

The Blue Association did not target Liu Mang. They needed Liu Mang, but they just needed to check and balance him, so that Yao Ming would be as strong and important as Liu Mang in the minds of most Chinese people, and not let Liu Mang dominate alone.
