As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

"OMG..."

"Are the Lakers crazy?"

"Are they playing basketball or volleyball?"

"Why did you send so many big guys?"

China, the Chinese fans in front of the Tianchao Sports studio, were also shocked by the Lakers' secret lineup.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup in the second quarter was exactly the same as in the first quarter, except that Big Z was replaced by Anderson Varejao.

But the Lakers made major adjustments.

Lakers' lineup:

Kobe Bryant, 198cm tall.

Lamar Odom, 208cm tall.

Zhou Ze is 206cm tall.

Kwame Brown, 211cm tall.

213cm Darko Milicic.

Except for Kobe, the other four are taller than LeBron James.

"OMG!"

"Are the Lakers this good at playing this game this year? In the last game against the Atlanta Hawks, they used the Death Five Outside, but tonight they used the Death Five Big."

“It’s worth mentioning that although these five players are tall, they all have excellent athletic ability.”

"It's just that the shooting spacing of this lineup is a little...eh...actually it's not bad. It's even better than most NBA teams."

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the TNT live studio talked about the Lakers' lineup with shocked expressions.

Even though Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic don't have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

But most of the centers and power forwards on NBA teams do not have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Without mentioning the distant past, let’s just take the Cavaliers’ starting lineup tonight as an example.

Apart from Damon Jones, the most accurate three-point shooter is LeBron James. As for Cavaliers shooting guard Eric Snow, his three-point shooting percentage this season is only 29%.

What's even worse is that his touch tonight was even worse than his season average.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the Lakers chose the Death Five.

When the opponent's three-pointers from outside miss and the Death Five appear on the court, they can strengthen the protection of the basket, significantly improve the team's defense, and widen the score difference through fast break counterattacks.

As for scoring in the half court, the Lakers are not worried at all, their star player is Kobe...

This player doesn't take up any space at all.

Zhou Ze was responsible for defending James, and his approach was to take a step back and "test" James' shooting.

James, who lacked some confidence in shooting, chose to force a breakthrough again. With an extremely fast first step, he quickly ate up Zhou Ze's buffer space. "Bang!", the shoulders of the two men collided with each other. With only half of his shoulder being hung, James finally squeezed out with the advantage of speed.

Although Zhou Ze is fast, his explosive acceleration ability is poor. Zhou Ze almost lost his defensive position and could only follow behind James; but James's impact force was also mostly consumed. Facing Darko Milicic who came to defend, James had no extra strength to push him away after bumping into him, and the final layup missed.

"ouch!" James spread his hands towards the referee, indicating that there was no foul just now.

As he was complaining, the Cavaliers quickly launched a fast break, and Kobe went straight to the basket, turning into Peter Pan...

Of course, America's nickname is "The Interpretation Ship."

With a "boom!", he scored with a one-handed slam dunk.

...

...

James made five consecutive strong attacks, but was successful only once, and this time he used his speed to wipe out Zhou Ze before making a quick stop and jump shot.

Don't even say it...

James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period had quite good coordination of movements, and his shooting even had a somewhat graceful feel.

But this kind of scoring can't quench the thirst at all.

Moreover, this is not James's conventional weapon.

29 to 40, 5 minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers widened the gap to 11 points.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, nicknamed the puppet coach by fans, requested a timeout.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers tried to tear apart the Lakers' defense through open cuts. After all, the Lakers players on the court were all big men, and it was difficult for them to keep up with their footwork.

But in fact...

All five Lakers players on the court are faster than the Cavaliers' starting center, Big Z, and even faster than their power forward Drew Gooden.

The only one who suffers in speed and agility is Lamar Odom.

Eric Snow is indeed fast, but it is not easy for him to pass the ball. Even if he passes it, the parallel import brothers guarding the Lakers' basket can recover it in time.

Finally, Eric Snow got in and received the pass from Damon Jones, but facing the 6-foot-11 and 7-foot parallel brothers, he could only pass to Big Z or Drew Gooden and could not directly layup.

Passing the ball inside and outside is also extremely dangerous. After all, the Lakers players on the field are too tall and have long arms, which can easily interfere with his passing.

Facing the Lakers' death five, the Cavaliers' offense almost collapsed.

But the last straw that broke the camel's back was Zhou Ze.
