Basketball Dragon

Chapter 281
The Lakers also finished five games in the Western Conference. Compared with Li Hai, Kobe scored crazy points in almost every game. With the help of insiders, he can't wait to win another championship, a championship that belongs to him completely. champion.

On June 6, the first game of the finals was played at Madison Square Garden.

The soldiers on both sides are very eager for the championship, and Kobe is also considered to be the only player who can limit Li Hai on both offensive and defensive ends. The finals are full of gimmicks.

It was only after the game started that the audience realized that the two were not directly facing each other.

After all, one is a forward and the other is a guard, and the Lakers are a team whose offense is better than defense. Kobe will focus on offense for the time being, and the lineups of both sides will not allow the two to consume each other from the beginning.

The game started, and facing the high-intensity defense of the Knicks, the Lakers were also a little uncomfortable.

Although they had fought with the Spurs before, the Knicks' defense was more targeted. Kobe was treated specially from the beginning. As soon as he entered, Li Hai would come to flank him.

So Kobe didn't play well when he first came up, but Gasol used his flexibility to catch and hit the ball a few times.

The Lakers missed the playoffs because of Bynum's reimbursement. Their insiders are also two flexible insiders, Odom and Gasol. The result is that the Knicks have an advantage in rebounding, but it is also difficult for the Knicks to limit the two.

The Knicks led by 23 points at 21:2 in the first quarter. At the beginning of the quarter, the lead was further expanded. However, at this time, Fisher made consecutive hits to help the Lakers overtake the score.

Then Li Hai took the lead, fouling Radmanovic twice in a row, and then hit a three-pointer. At the end of the first half, he hit the buzzer again, not allowing the opponent to take the lead into the second half.

51:51, both teams lead at a certain stage.

Compared with the Celtics, the Lakers are more fluid on the offensive end, but the defensive end is still slightly worse.

The only problem now is that Kobe hasn't played yet. This is also Kobe's inherent rhythm. When everyone is playing similarly, he will start to take over the game, such as the second half.

Then at the beginning of the second half, it was Li Hai who scored first.

Seeing this situation, Kobe couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately hit a jumper to pay back.

Then the two sides had a scoring battle, but compared to Kobe, Li Hai's efficiency was higher. He either went to the basket to kill, or he just shot directly, without any high difficulty.

This is the difference in technical habits between the two, as well as the difference between their teammates. Francis and Marbury play the ball for Li Hai, making it easier for Li Hai in the duel.

But on the defensive end, the Knicks' effect is better. Marbury can keep up, the Lakers can't keep up with Kobe, but the others can't keep up with Li Hai, and they don't have a gate like Camby inside. .

So when the two were fighting to score, Kobe took more shots to score in double figures like Li Hai.

And for those extra shots, the Knicks also turned other parts into points, so when Kobe took over the game, the Knicks took the lead instead.

This is extremely unwilling for Kobe. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that he will definitely find a way to get it back, and he will never dare to make a move.

So when Kobe played in the fourth quarter, the Knicks let Li Hai play together. In the last quarter, Li Hai finally defended Kobe himself.

His main defense and Marbury's main defense may be that there is a little more interference, and the use of strength can consume a little more, and this little bit is often the key.

"Kobe's shooting was solid, and Li Hai's defense was always in front of Kobe."

"Although the Lakers don't intend to let Kobe defend Li Hai, so the direct matchup after the pick-and-roll may not happen many times. Li Hai turned his back and squeezed in. Kobe's strength is also good, and he carried Li Hai hard. One hand is still going to draw a ball..."

"Odom came to flank, but Lehi passed the ball the moment the flank was completed, and Randolph caught the ball and made a shot... This may be the difference between Lehi and Kobe, it is difficult to flank him. success."

"Kobe still hit the ball under the siege of the two. If the first few shots can also be hit, the current situation will definitely be different..."

During several of Bryant's strikes, the Knicks seized the opportunity to extend their lead to double digits as the clock ticked by.

At 5 minutes and 11 seconds, Radmanovic made six fouls.

At 2 minutes and 27 seconds, Odom also committed six fouls. The Knicks could attack Kobe even more brazenly, and the Lakers had no hope at all.

At 99:88, although the Knicks only won by 11 points, they have been in control of the rhythm of the game since the second half, and they showed stronger strength.

By this point, many who hoped the Knicks would fail were somewhat frustrated.

The current Knicks are like the Lakers during the three-peat period, looking stronger than their opponents.

Both the main lineup and the backup lineup have enough weight, which the Lakers do not have. Radmanovich is a soy starter, and they have no candidates on the bench.

Although Kobe didn't take care of everything like James, he was far less relaxed than Li Hai.

It's just that the other teams in the Knicks lineup can't say anything at all. Many of the players they got were unwanted by other teams. Even Li Hai was in the same situation at the beginning. Who would have thought that some players would turn rotten into miracles when they came to the Knicks It's over.

The Knicks of this world are now completely different from the star black holes of another world.

Kobe took the responsibility after the game. He only scored 24 points, which was not enough for him. Li Hai even scored 30 points. In his heart, he should score 40 or 50 points. In that case, The Lakers can win the game.

"There is no excuse, I will play well every minute in the next game, we can win."

The Knicks also analyzed the first game of the finals, where they have an advantage, and where is the threat of the Lakers. They must play their advantages and do a better job defensively.

Becoming a member of the new dynasty is enough to support the players of the Knicks to finish the last few games meticulously. This desire should be stronger than that of the Lakers.

The second contest between the two sides also started soon. Kobe also had a strong fighting spirit, but not everyone on the Lakers is like this, and there is still a gap between the two sides.

This time, the Knicks won the jump ball, and Li Hai made the first ball decisively.
