NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

"Guys, Tactic No. 1, Tactic No. 1!"

Holiday held the ball and yelled at his teammates at the top of the arc.

When the other Bucks teammates heard this, they moved quickly.

Antetokounmpo sank to the left baseline to attract the Lakers' defense, and Lopez and Portis mentioned the free throw line to do a pick-and-roll for Middleton.

Middleton bypassed the pick-and-roll, quickly circled to the right 45 degrees, and then took Holiday's pass.

After Middleton received the ball, he was about to shoot, and Powell, who was following the defense, hurried over to defend.

But at this moment, Holiday silently moved to the left baseline to help Antetokounmpo block James.

Antetokounmpo directly chooses to cut inside with the help of Holiday's pick-and-roll!
Antetokounmpo moves very fast, and by the time James reacts, Antetokounmpo has already reached the inside line!

Middleton also has quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly hoisted the ball high to the inside.

When the ball arrived, Antetokounmpo jumped high, took the ball, paused in the air, and then slammed the ball into the basket!

The Bucks pulled one back and scored 2 points.

"Beautiful lob, beautiful play! The Bucks played very well this round."

"Yes, yes, they performed very well, and this tactic was executed perfectly."

The goal was completed very beautifully, and O'Neill and Barkley in front of the commentary also applauded and praised.

At the same time, James on the field was a little annoyed. He shook his head helplessly and said to his teammates: "Sorry, guys, it's my fault!"

"Let's call back!"

After speaking, James took the baseline ball and advanced the ball to the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, James held the ball at the top of the arc and observed the Bucks' defensive formation.

The Bucks still put up a defensive formation this round. Obviously, they still want to test James' long-range shooting ability again!

Facing this kind of defense, James directly and simply shot a three-pointer, as if copying the goal of the previous round, adding another 3 points for the Lakers.

The ball returned to the hands of the Bucks. Holiday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a "1" tactical gesture again, obviously wanting to repeat the old trick!

It was still Middleton who used the pick-and-roll to go around to catch the ball at 45 degrees, and Antetokounmpo ambushed the bottom line to look for opportunities to catch the ball.

But for this ball, James had already been prepared. Facing Holiday's pick-and-roll, James bypassed the pick-and-roll directly, staring at Antetokounmpo, preventing him from having an empty cut.

Facing the marking of James who is also tall and strong, Antetokounmpo has no good chance to cut in, but he can only stay on the bottom line to seek opportunities.

And Middleton, who stayed at 45 degrees, saw that his teammate Antetokounmpo had no chance, so he simply chose to do it alone.

The defender in front of Middleton is Powell. Powell's offensive ability is very powerful, but his defense is slightly worse. Facing Middleton's singles, Powell is somewhat struggling.

I saw Middleton make a breakthrough with a cross step, and then pull back after the connection, double change direction and take off quickly, shooting from the middle distance!
Powell was so panicked by Middleton's set of actions that he almost couldn't find the north, and in the end he could only watch Middleton shoot in front of him in frustration.

"It's okay, man, let's fight back on offense!"

Seeing that Powell was a little lost, James hurried over to comfort him, patted Powell on the shoulder and said.

Powell nodded heavily, and then rushed to the frontcourt like a gallop.

James still holds the ball, and the Bucks still use the same defensive strategy.

Seeing this, James couldn't help snorting softly: I really don't cry without the coffin!

He decided to teach the Bucks coach a lesson, don't let himself shoot!
Simply pass the ball again, and then, facing Holiday's rushing defense, James made another three-point jumper.

Hit again!

With three three-pointers at the start, James feels hot today!
After scoring another goal, James smiled and glanced at the head coach of the Bucks standing on the sidelines, quite proud.

Hmph, let's see if you dare to let me shoot again!
But what James didn't expect was that the head coach of the Bucks looked as calm as water, and still chose to defend the zone defense and let James go to COSCO to shoot.

Obviously, he doesn't believe that James can kill the Bucks!
But today, James felt really hot. Facing the problem posed by the head coach of the Bucks, James simply accepted all the orders. At the end of the first quarter, James finally took 8 three-pointers and hit 5 three-pointers.

But despite James' crazy performance, the Lakers only led by 5 points after the first quarter!
This is really because Antetokounmpo's offensive and defensive conversion ability is too strong, and the Bucks' overall team's extremely high tactical quality.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were on the bench, and head coach Vogel was a little silent.

It stands to reason that James performed so well in the first quarter, the Lakers should be able to take a double-digit lead!
But now they are only leading by 5 points, which to a certain extent shows that there is something wrong with the Lakers in the first quarter.

Judging from the data on paper, there is nothing wrong with the offensive end of the other Lakers players, which can only show that the Lakers' defense in the first quarter has a big problem!
That's right, something went wrong, and Antetokounmpo scored too many points!
Vogel's eyes narrowed slightly. It was difficult for Vogel to make adjustments throughout the first quarter just now. The main reason was that he hadn't figured out how to adjust it, and secondly, he didn't want to delay James' fiery touch.

But now, Vogel has to make adjustments!
"Howard, you come down to rest first, Boucher, you go up to the center forward, remember to return to the defense and return to the defense faster, don't let Antetokounmpo play a comfortable offensive and defensive transition!"

"Powell, you also take a break off the court, Deke, you go on the court, ruthlessly withstood the impact of Brother Antetokounmpo and Lopez, and exerted your low-post defensive ability!"

"On the offensive end, I still play like that, but on the defensive end, just that one sentence, be careful not to be kicked out of the offensive and defensive transition!"

After Vogel finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the Lakers players to recover their strength quickly.

The second quarter is about to start!
