You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 308 Strong start
Chapter 3 starts strong
At night, the Lakers announced early that Weixia would start in the sixth game against the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.

The teammate who was replaced by him in the starting position was Smush Parker.

For fans, this is a natural result.

"Phil Jackson finally satisfied the fans and let Wish enter the starting list." TNT, which will broadcast the battle nationwide, selected Reeve Albert and Steve Kerr to explain the game.

Albert told the audience in front of the TV that Wei Xia had entered the starting list, and then asked Cole for his opinion.

He wanted to hear what Kerr, who had played under Jackson, thought about this matter.

Cole was surprised by this, because in his eyes, Jackson is a coach who will not be easily swayed by other people's opinions.

"If he wants to reuse a certain player, even if the whole world is against him, he will go his own way. And vice versa." Cole said with a little surprise, "Wish is indeed the most qualified starting substitute player, but he has played as the sixth man for a season. His presence has greatly enriched the strength of the Lakers' second team and greatly improved the depth of the team's lineup. Phil has no problem using him. It's just that Smash Parker's state has declined all the way into the playoffs, and the fans can't bear it."

Cole thought that Jackson would stick to his decision, but he did not expect to listen to the advice of the outside world.

Wei Xia, who entered the starting list, received cheers second only to Kobe.

In the eyes of the fans, he is a player who is not as strong as Kobe, but closer to the fans than Kobe.

There are countless legends about Wei Xia's easy-going.

Everywhere in Los Angeles, you can see fans who ran into Wecha on the street and got autographs.

Easy-going, capable, and selfless, fans have no reason not to love him.

The DJ called Wei Xia's name, and the sound made by Staples in an instant was impossible to deceive, and even some stars stood up for Wei Xia.

Wei Xia was wearing the No. 6 platinum jersey at home, and suddenly heard a man's voice shouting from the sidelines: "Wish, congratulations on starting!"

Wei Xia followed the voice and found a handsome blond guy with a chisel.

It was impossible for him not to know this man.

Because he has watched "Fast and Furious", when the end credits came out, he saw Paul Walker's name at a glance.

"Thank you for your support." Wei Xia responded.

No matter what the opponent's status is, all he has to do now is to play the game well.

Only by playing the game well can we be worthy of all the fans including Walker.It is worthy of the strong recommendation of the media.Only worthy of the full support of teammates.

Otherwise, based on Jackson's prejudice against him, if he messes up his debut, he will be rolled off the starting list in minutes.

This is the reality he has to face.

The Suns' starters are fun.

They followed the Lakers' starting lineup and made some changes.

Raja Bale was removed from the starting XI and was replaced by Leandro Barbosa.Obviously, this move was aimed at the previous changes of the Lakers.

The Lakers made Wei Xia, the Nash terminator who became famous in this round of the series, start, with the intention of letting Nash turn off in the crucial sixth game.

The Suns on Barbosa is tantamount to giving the Lakers a multiple-choice question.

Barbosa is too fast and needs a defender who can stick to him at any time.Although Kobe can do it, he is not only defending the gate, but also the main offense of the Lakers. If he spends too much energy defending against the Brazilian, it will definitely affect his offense like the previous few games.

So how should the Lakers' defensive matchup be arranged?That's the problem.

Jackson's decision was to have Wescia defend Barbosa and Kobe defend Nash.

Because Kobe himself has been an outside gate for a while, so if he plays against Nash, the effect may not be worse than that of Weixia.Although he can't stay with Nash forever like Wei Xia.

The Lakers' starting lineup has no other changes except Wei Xia's entry into the starting list.

Opening the jump ball, Odom slapped the ball into Wei Xia's hands energetically.

The Lakers' offense has been unmistakable from the start.

Kobe, who hadn't shown much on the offensive end in the previous five games, was determined to show his fangs.

During the regular season, it is as simple as taking 50 shares of drinking water. In January, he scored 38 points in a single game against the Warriors, which was described by the media as "cold hands".But for the Suns, let alone 38 points, in the first five games of the series, he only scored more than 30 points in one game.The average rebounds, assists, steals and fouls per game have increased compared to the regular season, but the scoring has dropped significantly.

The Lakers' 3-2 lead proved Kobe justified.

He has done a good job of defense and organization, let his teammates be the leader, and at critical moments, he has a good show of killing opponents to lock the match point, but in the future, some people will still talk about his scoring average that is significantly different from the regular season.

But this time, he decided to let go of the restraint at the beginning and attack with all his strength.

As a result, his teammates saw him shoot confidently with high spirits, smashing a piece of steel with confidence.

Fortunately, the sun knows that the visitor is a guest, so he can't offend the host too much.In less than ten seconds, they finished the steps of fast down, pass, and shot.

The shooter was Marion. Looking at his coquettish [-]-style jumper, the basketball flew towards the trajectory that could not fall into the basket.

With a bang, the basketball fell to the ground.

The dedicated Wei Xia protected the backboard, and at a glance, he saw Kobe rushing down with rare enthusiasm.

When he passed the ball into Kobe's hands, Nash actually regarded himself as a top defender. Instead of avoiding the offensive, he dared to obstruct it.

Bryant smashed his defense to pieces, laying down shots from close range.

Nash dominated the offense off the dribble with Diaw setting up a pick-and-roll around him.

Ever since Nash was defended to death by Wei Xia, the pick-and-roll has become the top priority of Nash's offense.As long as there is a pick-and-roll, no strong individual defender can prevent him to death.Bryant was no exception, he was hooked by Dior's body, and then he felt the Frenchman turn and go down.

When Nash dribbled the ball into the defense, he was already thinking about the starting line and route of the pass. Dioche was accurate, he gave it steadily, and the way to finish the ball only needed an ordinary layup.

Odom has tried his best to help defend. He is not a basket-protecting insider. If the center forwards in the team are not all cocky, he doesn't need to work hard to help defend.

Next, Kobe and Wecha stood on the weak side.

When Wei Xia passed the ball to Kobe, he took the initiative to pull to the top of the arc, seemingly clearing one side.But Nash didn't seem to pay attention to his threat of three-pointers at the top of the arc. He was afraid of Kobe's offensive threat and quickly ran to the low post to attack.At that time, Kobe's offense had not yet begun.

Even though Bryant scored more than 30 points in only one of the first five games, his offensive threat still scares opponents.

This is the deterrent power of a super scorer.

Nash went to double-team, and Kobe gave it to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia took the ball, and in the corner on the other side, Marion, who was defending Wharton, turned towards him at the fastest speed.So Wei Xia only needs to hang his defense, wait for him to approach, and then give the ball to Wharton who is open.

The "smartest Laker" doesn't need to show off his smarts to get his shot easily.

唰

Three points in the bag, 5 to 2.

The assist is counted by Wei Xia, but as long as you know the penalty kick, you know that the real assister is Kobe.His offensive threat attracted double-teams, and a timely pass back to Wei Xia forced Marion to leave Wharton to defend Wei Xia.Ultimately, Versia just needed to move the ball to the corner and let Walton go for the shot.

He just passes, catches, passes.

The Suns, who can shoot three-pointers with five points, can easily create opportunities for outsiders with some pick-and-roll tactics.

The prototype of the small ball has appeared at this time. As soon as Nash raised his hand, Diaw and James Jones were ready for the pick-and-roll.

Zonda crossed the defense and passed the outside line. Wei Xia, who wanted to intercept Nash, emptied Barbosa.

Barbosa then made a three-pointer, like a warning, this person can't let go anymore.

Wei Xia, who started in the playoffs for the first time, played fairly stiffly, did not let go of his hands and feet completely, and mainly passed the ball to his teammates on the offensive end.

When Kobe asked for the ball, he gave it.

Walton asked for the ball and he gave it.

"Smartest Lakers" made a seemingly unwise choice.

He slammed Marion with a dull head. Although he could get in, Wei Xia couldn't imagine how he would make a move in the end.The core element of using strength to fight is that the opponent must be suppressed through strength or volume at the moment of the shot.But Walton obviously couldn't suppress Marion, so they must jump into the air at the same time. How can Walton, who has no physical advantage, complete the attack?

Wharton's strong attack solved part of Wei Xia's confusion.

Yes, he couldn't stand Marion.

But he didn't intend to order it either, from the beginning to the end, his approach was all the way to the end.

At the moment of the shot, his body knocked Marion to one side, and even he lost his balance and center of gravity, not to mention the feeling of the hand.

But he made it, and it was a hit on the board.

His style of play was reckless and reckless, and he didn't see any cleverness, but he scored.On the pitch, a goal is a goal.

7 is better than 5
"The Lakers got off to a strong start!" Albert said. "Everyone has a look on their face to end the series tonight!"

Cole echoed: "That's right, they have to end the series at home. If the Suns win two games in a row and bring the tiebreaker back to home, the overall weak Lakers are very likely to be turned around by their opponents."

Although the Lakers feel good, the Suns are not bad either.

Barbosa intends to force Wei Xia, his speed is fast enough, but Wei Xia adopts the method of zooming in by half a meter and then getting close.The two kept entangled in the penalty area, and Barbosa failed to get past the defense. In the end, he just turned around and threw the ball to Marion who was standing at the top of the arc.

Marion received the ball, and he was still shooting the coquettish shot, facing the "smartest Lakers".

Walton wisely gave up a three-pointer to Marion.

Hackers are bold.

Swish!
The three-pointer was firmly pocketed.
