Luke Walton, a white small forward who had only played five times in the playoffs, played in this crucial battle.

Everyone knows what Zen Master is thinking, this guy wants to liberate Kobe.

Walton's three-pointer can prevent Kobe from being double-teamed.

Although Walton's defense is average, his running and jumping ability is not as good as Ariza's.

But with this three-pointer, he has a tactical position.

After the start of the second quarter, McMillan noticed the changes in the Lakers, but still waved his hand: "Double-team Kobe! Tightly!"

Then, Walton hit his first three-pointer of the day as soon as he came up.

"Beautiful goal, Luke Walton made Posey pay the price. The point difference is only 1 point, will the Trail Blazers still attack?"

After the Trail Blazers attacked, Wayne passed the ball, Posey hit a jumper, and the Lakers continued to attack.

This time, Posey glanced at McMillan, obviously asking him: "Do we still want to pinch him?"

McMillan continued to touch his fists, meaning: "Clamp! Why not clamp!"

Then, Walton Jr. made his second consecutive three-pointer.

Wharton: You are holding your M!

Treat me like an iron bar?

Although he was ordered to do so at a critical moment, Walton Jr. did not mess around at all.

After all, he has lived on the basketball court since he was a child. Walton is always calm when playing and has very clear thoughts.

Zen masters once praised him: "Sometimes coaches only think of two aspects, but Walton can think of the third aspect."

Walton knows exactly what to do and how to do it when he gets on the court.

Moreover, he is also very dedicated in playing basketball.

Although his father is in the top 50 in the NBA and has a rich family, Walton Jr. does not have to make a living by playing basketball.

But precisely in this way, he can devote himself more purely to his favorite career.

Can't you sign a big contract as a star?

It doesn't matter, I won't starve to death.

But as long as I play, I will definitely do my part well.

This is the mentality of Little Wharton.

The Lakers took the lead, but this time, McMillan was a little weak.

In these games, the point difference has been single digits.

To put it bluntly, even if a role player scores one or two more goals, he may have to change positions in the outcome of several games.

If Wharton is really allowed to invest like this, he may really dig a big hole.

Therefore, McMillan did not let Posey continue to double-team.

Now, it's time to bring out Wayne!

After Wayne picked up the basketball on the ground, he looked at the score.

One point behind, behind.

Then, the time has come.

"Splash! Hold on, we will solve the Western Conference Finals today, okay?"

"Of course, I said I would help you!" Sister-in-law nodded.

"Well, let's work hard together!"

Wayne said, rubbing his sister-in-law's head.

Duncan's Hand of God, activate!

My sister-in-law suddenly transformed into a golden lion king, her expression became ferocious, as if her eyes were about to glow with golden light.

I'm sorry, Brother Yao. Next time, these dumplings may make you scratch your teeth.

The game continues, the Blazers attack.

Now that the Lakers are playing Walton, Wayne is no longer welcome.

In this offense, Posey came up to pick and roll with Wayne.

After O'Dangdang was blocked, Walton had to defend in front of Wayne.

Walton can't stand up to people, and his height doesn't give him an advantage. This is basically a gift, even bigger than Odom's.

There was no other way, Odom had no choice but to double-team him.

But Wayne immediately found Posey who bounced outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll. He had just hit the iron, so he seized the opportunity this time and hit an open three-pointer.

Wayne continues to assist!

"Don't double-team, don't double-team!" At this time, the Zen master whistled and shouted to the players.

What he wants is confrontation!

Kobe and Wayne just want them to fight each other!

Throughout the ages, this Jordan and Kobe-style one-on-one approach has always been the first choice for solving problems, and Zen Master is convinced of this.

Don't talk about team basketball. Is team basketball really higher than "one-on-one"?

If team basketball is really higher than "one-on-one", then the most popular players in the league in the past ten years should not be Shaq, Kobe and Jordan.

Maybe in Europe, team basketball is very popular.

But in the NBA, according to the Zen Master's concept, one-on-one is the strongest!

He won 9 championship rings through one-on-one support, what else is there to say?

But the Trail Blazers won't just let Kobe one-on-one easily. Posey is not good anymore, and Wayne!

This time, Kobe held the ball from the waist and hit Parker. Then, Wayne stepped up.

"Fuck!" Kobe yelled and had to pass the ball again, and the target of the pass was Yao Ming.

Although Wayne made three consecutive defensive changes at the last moment of the last game, it sealed the victory for the Trail Blazers.

But it was just one round after all, and Wayne couldn't do that forever.

Therefore, since Kobe is pinched, Yao Ming has a one-on-one opportunity.

Odom: So I’m not a human being, I’m so open...

In this game that was completely cool if he died, Kobe really didn't trust Odom's three-pointer...

He would rather trust Yao Ming's low post play.

Yao Ming ate dumplings again, but found that they were hard.

This time, Yao Ming missed Gasol's layup.

Neither of the Lakers' two singles points can guarantee high efficiency.

This is very embarrassing.

After the Trail Blazers passed, Wayne scored again on Walton.

There is no flashy skill, just push away Walton and then shoot a fadeaway jumper.

Since the Lakers don't double-team, don't blame Wayne for being crazy.

Walton couldn't withstand it and wasn't tall enough, so he could only watch as Wayne scored easily with a fadeaway jumper that was very similar to Kobe's.

Wayne originally upgraded his fadeaway jumper to the silver level, originally to deal with Yao Ming.

However, now against Walton, the silver-level Kobe Bryant is basically invincible.

Just like that, Wayne's data skyrocketed today.

When there are double teams, Wayne assists. Anyway, the Lakers don't have super help defense monsters.

When there are no double teams, Wayne scores. Anyway, Walton and Odom's defense is mediocre.

Starting from the third quarter, Wayne and Gasol even played an inside pick-and-roll!

MacMillan learned this trick from Carlisle.

In the past few days, he studied the video of the Pacers winning the championship in 2005, hoping to learn some experience in using Wayne.

The scene of Wayne and O'Brien setting up a pick-and-roll, allowing Wayne to beat Deng Dui in isolation, attracted McMillan.

Therefore, he also decided to consume Yao Ming in this way!

Can Yao Ming guard Wayne?

It depends on how to prevent it.

If he is in the low post, Yao Ming can prevent Wayne from becoming autistic.
