Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 130 Super backcourt?It's a super crematorium!
The Suns speed up the offensive rhythm, trying to drag O'Neal's physical fitness.

The effect was not obvious, mainly because of the offense. The Suns played fast, and occasionally formed a situation where they played more and played less. However, the defense was in vain, and the Lakers were able to score almost every attack.

Even though the Suns seem to be using the space to score a lot of goals.

In fact, in terms of score, they will be pulled apart instead.

After the second quarter, 67 to 46, the Lakers opened the point difference to 21 points and entered the locker room to rest.

Back in the second half of the game, the main players of both sides played.

The Lakers' lineup remains unchanged. While dominating the penalty area on both ends of the offense and defense, they try their best to let the Suns shoot as far as possible from the basket, disrupting the Suns' defensive formation.

O'Neal's offense was unstoppable, Longley could only play 20 minutes, and without a meat shield, the Suns were passive everywhere.

Big Ben's rebound made the Suns' defense futile.

The time of the big team was already unstoppable. As a result, the Lakers hit the iron and had a lot of second-attack opportunities.

Can this still be fun?

No.

Neither do I want to.

Then, the Suns were out of luck.

Kidd is called not attacking, not for no reason, his shooting is really bad.

Moreover, he has just come back and is about to fight a tough battle, making it even more difficult to guarantee his state.

Clifford Robinson likes to play floating, similar to Nowitzki's style of play, and the offense and pass support with the ball are not as strong as Nowitzki.

With a little stronger confrontation, his shooting will be gone.

You can't rely on Marion to stand up and kill the Quartet, can you?
He's just a rookie!

Like, he is still a child!
The same can't be played, not to mention, he faces the ceiling of future perimeter defense, and Bowen taught him a lesson.

In other words, at this time, Marion can only attack facing the basket and only catch and shoot. Bowen's defense is more efficient.

The only one who can move is Hardaway.

Breakthrough, passing, shooting, playing all-round demeanor.

However, Li Mu felt that this person was the most threatening, because he hadn't played for a long time and was impatient.

The defense can't keep up with Kobe. If he goes to the final battle, he will definitely not have the physical strength to fight again.

Same as Maddie.

According to legend, McGrady's idol is this person.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers widened the point difference to 30 points.

No way, the style of the Suns was originally suitable for playing in the playoffs. It was not because Hardaway and Marion came to make the Suns stronger that they were able to pass the Spurs.

It was an injury, and the Suns picked it up and missed it.

Facing the only lineup, the Lakers still like to play the main force.

The gap in strength was immediately apparent.

In the fourth quarter, Li Mu replaced Fisher, Ginobili, Lewis, Horry, and AC Green.

This lineup, the reputation of the players is still very high.

The Suns let Marion and the sixth man Rodgers and Kevin Johnson be the main players.

As a result, the point difference still couldn't be closed.

hum~
With the sound of the beep and the red light, the generals of the Sun team breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, finally it's over.

Whether on the bench or on the court, every minute is suffering.

With a score of 118 to 76, the Lakers beat the Suns with 42 points and took a 1-0 lead, directly breaking the Suns' mentality.

O'Neal scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was average, not because of his strength, but because he had too little time to perform.

If the opponent doesn't fight, he has nothing to do.

Kobe has 23 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. He is versatile in offense, defense and tactics, which are very important. It cannot be shown by statistics, but the statistics are still strong.

Billups made 11 of 3 three-pointers, and Tie Lu's character remained unchanged. Fortunately, the result was good, with 13 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds.

With the help of the iron team, Big Ben grabbed 18 rebounds and 9 points, and blocked 3 shots. His defensive role is immeasurable.

Bowen?

He does not cooperate with data.

基德8投2中，三分球3投0，罚球4中3中，拿到了7分7篮板7助攻。

Hardaway had 25 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

One is 7 points and one is 25 points.

You call Kidd and Hardaway a super backcourt?
Super crematorium, huh?

Hardaway said he couldn't move.

……

On April 5, at the Staples Center Arena.

The Lakers VS Suns G2 started.

Li Mu copied the homework of the first game, the style of play remained the same, and the lineup remained the same, with Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Ben, and O'Neal.

For the Suns, the lineup remains the same, Kidd, Hardaway, Marion, Clifford Robinson, Longley.

The game started, and O'Neal jumped to win Longley, grabbing the first attack for the Lakers.

Billups snapped the shot.

With the guarantee of rebounding, he feels that he can play a little bit.

Bang-dang-!
O'Neal knocked Langley away, grabbed the rebound, knocked Langley away, and with a bang, he scored a second offensive dunk.

0 to 2! !
The Suns attack.

Kidd fought back in the frontcourt and also made a three-pointer.

Before he shot, he glanced and saw that Billups was still on the ground, ignoring his shot.

Can you bear this?

Nezha said, anyway, I can't bear it.

In the future, whoever fights against Heaven will help him.

Swish-!
Kidd is also up to date.

It is not without reason that he will be the number one active player in the league in the future.

When the shot is accurate, the shot is really accurate.

You said the shot was not on time?

Kidd: It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, as long as I like to pass the ball and assist my teammates.

Believe me, you will be a ghost.

Next, Kidd took advantage of his good touch and made 4 consecutive three-pointers.

Actually hit 2 of them, reaching a [-]-[-] split.

Don't underestimate this hit. With this shot kill, the Lakers' defense against Kidd is even more difficult.

Kidd, who has a shot, organized the Suns' offense in an orderly manner.

Actually, together with Hardaway, he played back and forth with the Lakers.

After the first quarter, 28 to 27, the Lakers only led by 1 point.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Mu continued to play the main force.

No way, the Lakers are too young, and they are physically full. It doesn't make sense to change anyone in the Western Conference semifinals.

So, Billups, Kobe and O'Neal continued to play.

Put on Rice and Horry.

The head coach of the Suns looked at it and could only say one thing, what the hell!
Is there anyone who bullies people like this?

With this lineup, the offensive ability may be stronger than the starting lineup!
Not possible, but sure.

The starter has rebounds, and the rotation has shots.

The Suns had no choice but to return to their ancestral business and resort to a 7-man rotation.

Kidd, Hardaway, Marion, and Clifford Robinson continued to play and replaced Rodgers.

No way, the Suns played well in the first quarter. If you want to win this series, it's time to fight.

As long as the score is 1-1, the Suns might have a chance.

The game started in the second quarter, and O'Neill made an alley-oop and hung himself on the southeast branch.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe fought back and succeeded in a one-stop dunk.

Subsequently, Rice made a three-pointer and made a steady hit.

Can't stop it, the Suns are the main force, and still can't stop the offensive firepower of the Lakers.

This is the crushing of the lineup.

The inside lines of the two teams are not at the same level at all.

No matter how strong the outside line of the Suns is, it does not have an advantage compared with the Lakers' outside line.

Inside, the Suns felt desperate.
