Many Hollywood movie stars came to the scene, including their VIP audience "Actor" Nicholson.

But in addition to these people, the team owner Bass also came to the VIP box on the sidelines, followed by his son Bass Jr.

Old Buss is different from Cuban. He seldom comes to Staples Center to watch games at home, basically his son does it for him.

When he came to the arena tonight, he only explained one thing. The Lakers are in a very unfavorable situation and need him to come to the sidelines to boost morale.

In fact, when the camera was shown to Old Buss, the Lakers players were also greatly encouraged.

Auerbach, Old Bass, these people's influence on the league is extremely huge.

Against this backdrop, Game [-] of the Western Conference semifinals between the Mavericks and the Lakers kicked off at the Staples Center.

Inspired by the old Bass are also the fans at the scene, these rich people in Los Angeles are rare and proactive in cheering for the Lakers.

Then, the inspired Lakers played a completely different temperament in the first two games.

Although the performance of the offensive role players is still relatively average, the investment on the defensive end has allowed them to regain the feeling of the dynasty.

Faced with this kind of defense, the Mavericks' offense tonight was obviously not as smooth as the previous two games.

And there is another very important change. In addition to Kobe and O'Neal on the offensive end of the Lakers, Fisher also stood up.

Just as O'Neal thought, the Mavericks had to use the zone defense to double-team O'Neal, and also double-team Kobe in a timely manner. The defensive energy against Fisher was really limited.

And the point is, both O'Neal and Kobe are willing to pass the ball to Fisher.

As the game continued, the Lakers turned into a mode in which Kobe, O'Neal and Fisher scored, while the other role players on the court were desperately defending.

It might not be the best for the Lakers, but it works.

Coupled with the atmosphere of the game at home, the Lakers have always had an advantage in the game.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 113-106 at home, won the first victory of the series, and rewritten the big score to 1-2.

This is also the first time since the series, the Lakers scored more than 100 points.

personal data.

湖人队这边科比24投10中的命中率不算太高,但是他一共得到了17次罚球,最后得到35分7板3助攻。

奥尼尔依旧高效15投11中得到27分13板5助攻4盖帽。

除了OK组合外,费舍尔也有12次出手,12投6中,三分球5投3中得到18分。

It can be seen from these data that the Lakers' targeted adjustments are very effective.

Looking at the Mavericks, Sun Hao and Nowitzki both contributed 25+ steadily, and Bodi Loga also scored 15+5+5.

But there is one statistic that is different from the previous two games, and that is the three-pointer.

They only hit 25 of 7 shots and only 16 assists.

These are all the effects of the Lakers' defensive improvement.

After this game, the Lakers fans who had been frustrated for two games finally found a vent.

"What am I talking about? Probing! The Lakers are probing in front! Look at the real fight after the probing, isn't it hanging on the Mavericks?!"

"Do you really think the Dynasty team is just picked up on the street? Underestimating your opponent will make you pay the price!"

"The Mavericks are the Mavericks. They will always be the team that depends on the sky. They couldn't beat us last year, and it will be the same this year!"

……

These comments, including Sun Hao, were not read by the Mavericks players.

Even if they saw it, they wouldn't care.

As for Nowitzki's tainted milk or something, it's just a joke.

The real problem facing the Mavericks coaching staff now is how to deal with this adjustment of the Lakers.

Although Fisher may not be able to play so well every game, but after his game, the offensive threat is already there.

Even taking a step back, Phil Jackson can also arrange some tactics according to the status of the role players, and someone will always be accurate.

This is the charm of the NBA playoffs.

A round of 7 games, between the field and the field, or even an adjustment between the first half and the second half, is like a confrontation between two armies and a formation of troops. It is tit-for-tat and fascinating.

After the old Nelson chatted with Harris and Johnson, he did not make any adjustments this time.

Because in fact there is no better adjustment.

In basketball, especially on the defensive end, no matter how you adjust it, there are always five players on the court.

Your defense will always be focused.

Just like the Lakers defended against the Mavericks, they also focused on Nowitzki and Sun Hao.

So it's a bit too sensitive to switch defenses because Fisher has guaranteed a game.

And just like the previous analysis, if you guard Fisher, if Horry and Devon George are also accurate, and you don't even take O'Neal and Kobe into consideration, then the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, on the defensive end, the Mavericks coaching staff chose to remain unchanged.

What they think the team really needs to improve is the offense.

The highest concept of the old Nelson tactical system, the team with more points wins the game.

Ever since, the main content of the offseason team training is three-point shooting and positional warfare drills.

If one's own offense is done well, it works better than anything else.

Moreover, the defensive situation of the Lakers is similar to them. They have not solved the pick-and-roll between Sun Hao and Nowitzki, as long as others make the shots that should be shot.

Of course, in addition to this, the Mavericks also did other things that should be done.

Johnson gave an impassioned speech to the players.

The general meaning is that the series must be ended within five games.

Sun Hao was also quite touched when he heard it, he didn't even think Johnson meant poisoned milk.

In fact, apart from being more paranoid, Johnson is really suitable to be a head coach in other aspects.

Leaving aside the NBA, when it comes to the NCAA, he is already an absolutely well-known coach at this chicken soup level.

After two days of preparations, everything is ready, and the curtain of the fourth battle is about to begin.

Just before the start, Scarlett gave Sun Hao a surprise.

No matter what the game was before, in order not to let her parents talk too much, as long as it was played in Los Angeles, Scarlett would not come to the scene.

But tonight, perhaps because he knew the importance of this game to Sun Hao, he wore beautiful clothes and turned into a beautiful girl and sat in the front row of the Staples Center.

This scene moved Sun Hao a little, and also excited the Mavericks players.

They knew how much Scarlett had added to Sun Hao's performance.

Don't tell me, the effect of Scarlett sitting there may be more useful than "Little General" Johnson's speech.

This is also the most special landscape of the Mavericks.

Besides, my sister-in-law is so pretty.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the Staples Center was still full of people.

The cheers when Kobe and O'Neal came out were also deafening.

The importance of this game to the two teams is self-evident.

The Lakers won, the series was tied 2-2, the bo7 became a bo5, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

The Mavericks won, with a big score of 3 to 1, 3 match points, and one step away from advancing. For the Lakers, it is a knife hanging around their necks. When it falls depends on the Mavericks' face.

So from the faces of the players on both sides, it can be felt that tonight's game is destined to be very different.

"I have a hunch that tonight's game will be the most intense game since the series."

In the broadcast booth, Cole saw the tense atmosphere on the field and made a prediction.

Kenny Smith on the side also nodded in agreement.

He also had a faint premonition.

"beep!"

With a whistle on the field, O'Neal dialed the ball back to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the game.

The Lakers still focused on O'Neal when they came up.

The Mavericks also put up a 2-3 zone defense at the beginning.

Although O'Neal's scoring was lower than Kobe's in the past two games, one look at the efficiency will know who should be defended the most.

O'Neal turned around and played hard, but it still didn't work. The Mavericks double-teamed too quickly.

He still flicks the ball toward the corner, where Devin George is lurking.

George made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Although he struggled in the first two games, he also scored 4 of 3 from outside in the last game, and his performance was quite good.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, George hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

He continued the touch of the previous game to this one!

Phil Jackson couldn't help but clenched his fist.

"That's not good news for the Mavericks."

In the stands, Kenny Smith couldn't help but said.

Although it's just a ball, it's obvious that the role players of the Lakers have regained their confidence in the game after experiencing the last game.

And shooting is so weird, the more confident you are, the more accurate he will be.

Not to mention, the touch is contagious on the court.

Kenny Smith is also on point.

Throughout the first half, the Lakers not only had the touch of Devin George, but also Fisher. Even now in the series, Horry, who hadn't opened the perimeter before, made shots.

And after making the shot, they became more confident on the defensive end.

O'Neal is also leading by example. Except for the three-point line, he can't get out, and he is trying to expand the free throw line.

After the Lakers fell behind 0 to 2, it was like being slapped hard, and they woke up suddenly.

Now they are playing like the previous three-peat dynasty team!

At halftime, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 53 points 45 to 8.

"I have a hunch the Lakers are going to win this game."

Cole made another prediction.

Kenny Smith also nodded in agreement.

The Mavericks didn't play badly in the first half, but after the Lakers solved their problems, they were obviously stronger.

Well, if I have to say it, it is the difference in playoff experience.

Although the Mavericks have a reasonable configuration, they are definitely not as good as the already dynastic Lakers in terms of playoff experience.

If the Mavericks can pass this year, the Lakers are likely to have a sublimation.

Four consecutive championships, even five consecutive championships are very possible.

Before, many fans were discussing whether the Lakers and Jordan's Bulls were stronger or weaker. If they can really achieve four consecutive fives, then such discussions will naturally have results.

At the end of halftime, the two teams returned to the locker room to rest.

When going to the player tunnel, Sun Hao and Nowitzki looked at each other.

The two didn't speak, but they both felt a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Is there anything easy and successful in this world?

Have.

Buying lottery tickets, finding rich wives, sugar daddies, there are always some shortcuts in life.

Is there an easy championship in this world?
