Chapter 1572 Chopping Melons and Vegetables
Scramble!
Bynum and Millsap stood in the center circle. Millsap looked very excited. This was his second time coming to the Western Conference semifinals. However, this could not make up for the 11cm height difference between him and Bynum. , the Lakers successfully got the ball.
In the first attack, the Lakers played quite well. Fisher dribbled the ball. Ji Feng and Kobe opened the wings. Bynum was in the middle. Gasol went deep into the hinterland and then pulled out. At the same time, Ji Feng, Kobe and Gasol flew on both wings. The moment I took the ball, three Lakers players ran out of opportunities at the same time.
Gasol hit Kobe, and Kobe deflected the defense and made a pull-up jumper to score the first goal.
A signature triangle offense.
It's the Jazz's turn. Deron is in great shape in the playoffs this season. He has swept away the haze of regular season injuries. In the first five playoff games, he averaged 22 points and 11.6 assists per game. His performance can be called heroic. This also relies on Boozer and others. People's recovery, just like this offense, Deron goes to the line to get the ball, Boozer comes out to pick and roll, and Miles, who has averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game this season and has a shooting percentage of 42%, stands on the outside. After the pick-and-roll, the defense was opened, Boozer was open, and Deron distributed the ball.
This is the pick-and-roll system that the Jazz are best at.
However, the Lakers' defense followed every defender very accurately. Under Gasol's defense, Boozer had no chance to make a move and could only pass it to Myers. Myers wanted to get rid of it, but Kobe's defense made him have no choice but to make another move. The pass was passed back to Deron, who had circled around. Seeing that time was running out, Deron had no choice but to go it alone.
A layup after a strong break, but failed to score due to the interference of Lao Yu.
Instead, the Lakers seized the opportunity to counterattack. Bynum passed the ball to Ji Feng, who dribbled the ball across half court. After the pick-and-roll, Gasol scored from mid-range with one step inside the free throw line!
The Lakers took the initiative from the start.
It wasn't until the Jazz's third offense that Deron assisted Millsap to score a goal. The process was very difficult. Millsap, who had been looking for a chance for a long time, made a thrilling layup to get the Jazz's first point of the game.
Then the Lakers played 4-0 again, leading the Lakers 8-2 at the beginning.
Although Deron completed a beautiful steal later, one attack could not change the Jazz's disadvantage on the court. Boozer did not score a point for 6 minutes, and Millsap relied solely on himself inside. But he has no advantage at all against Bynum alone, and his scoring efficiency is extremely low.
On the other hand, the Lakers' offense was well-organized, with scattered scoring points in the opening period and a very high offensive success rate. With Ji Feng hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the final attack, the Lakers led 32-20 by 12 points in the first quarter.
"Come on Ji Feng~!" The absolute advantage of the scene made the on-site director seem to be at ease. He spent his spare time looking for famous faces in the stands.
In addition to the celebrities who often appear on the sidelines, a familiar face finally appeared again tonight.
Of course, she is using her jersey as a skirt. She arrived in Los Angeles two days ago to join Ji Feng. As in previous years, she will frequently appear on the sidelines in subsequent games.
And her popularity here is obviously very high. After all, she is Ji Feng's personally acknowledged girlfriend, and tonight she is wearing Ji Feng's jersey, and the big jersey still can't hide her graceful figure.
The appearance of Hot Bar also made many fans feel relaxed. After all, according to statistics, Ji Feng almost never lost when she appeared.
"The styles of football are incompatible. Since the 1990s, the triangle offense and Sloan's pick-and-roll combined with Princeton's two tactics have repeatedly given us classic interpretations. During the Bulls era, Sloan led the Jazz to the Finals twice and failed to challenge the Bulls. At that time, the Jazz What we have is Malone and Stockton, as well as Horasek, who is accurate on the outside. "
"The fashion of prosperity is fearful of the Bulls' three-pointers. Now Mayfair has transplanted the mutated triangle offensive tactics to the Lakers. Utah has the combination of Deron + Boozer. There are still many things to watch, but based on historical confrontations and this Judging from the matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Lakers, it seems that the Lakers can always restrain the Jazz. This may be the so-called conflict of styles," Yang Yi said.
"For the Lakers, this kind of matchup couldn't be better. You Jazz still have the same players and the same style of play. I just need to copy the method I used to deal with you in the previous two seasons. The winner of the final series will still be me, so When the two teams take to the court, the Lakers first have an absolute advantage in terms of psychological factors. No matter what difficulties they face, they will appear confident. Coupled with the home court advantage and strength advantage, it is difficult for the Lakers not to win." Director Zhang simply made a prediction.
The beginning of the second quarter seemed to confirm what Director Zhang said. Sloan mobilized his troops, and Kirilenko and Matthews appeared one after another.
But when Ji Feng came up, he frequently attacked Kirilenko alone. Whether it was footwork or confrontation, the old AK47 seemed powerless.
As for the Jazz, after Deron came off the court, Miles became the main point of attack. The rookie was obviously eager to prove himself. In the first quarter, he was beaten by Kobe Bryant. In the second quarter, he was replaced by Farmar. I think he can do it!
Scoring in the first attack of the second quarter further increased Myers' confidence. However, in the next 3 minutes, Myers was blocked for a layup, made a push-up, and made a passing error...
Snapped--!
Ji Feng gave Miles, who did not believe in evil, a huge hat. Miles fell directly to the floor, and Ji Feng hit the ball directly to the fourth row of the stands.
"Which of you paid this guy?" Ji Feng pointed at Miles and shouted to the Lakers generals happily.
"Hey, man, are you someone we put in here?" Farmar didn't forget to mock the newbie in person.
Miles is depressed...
So he used an unreliable but extremely efficient turn around and a 360-degree pull-up three-pointer to win himself a ticket to the bench.
Sloan held his head, and if he continued to fight, he would probably suffer from high blood pressure.
We still have to look at Deron, which is the only strong point of the Jazz, but Deron also played very poorly tonight, because Deron is one of the few defenders that Fisher likes.
Although Deron is nicknamed Fatty and is good at whipping, drinking and beating Paul, looking at Fisher's big arms, he is least afraid of confrontational defenders.
Fortunately, Boozer took advantage of Gasol's rest and scored 6 points to help the Jazz catch their breath, otherwise the Jazz would have collapsed at halftime.
However, this only delayed the Jazz's collapse. In the third quarter, the Jazz's main players all started, and the Lakers used half of their main players to fight. Artest was entrusted with an important task for the first time in a long time.
As a result, the Jazz couldn't even deal with Artest. Artest actually scored 8 points and 6 rebounds in the third quarter, beating Korver so hard that his mother didn't recognize him.
There is no need to say more about the rest of the game. The Lakers chopping up melons and vegetables, easily taking a 30-point lead in less than three quarters.
The final score was fixed at 113-80, and the Lakers defeated the Jazz by 33 points to win the first game.
