Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Odom, Gasol

Suns: Nash, Tony Allen, Hill, Lin Ying, Stoudemire

Gasol jumped to get the ball for the Lakers.

When the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe asked for the ball directly.

And when Gasol was about to come up for the pick-and-roll, Kobe directly signaled him to go back!

Put away your damn pick-and-roll, I'm going to fight Allen one-on-one!

Allen restricted him in the last game. He not only wants to win tonight, but also wants to regain his place!

This is definitely not the most correct way to play, but it represents an attitude!

Once he had space, he immediately assumed a triple-threat posture, pretending to shoot and making a real breakthrough.

After Allen followed him and took a step forward, he quickly stopped, turned around and shot a jumper!

A series of technical movements are extremely smooth.

But Allen was really fierce. He actually followed Kobe's movements and blocked Kobe's face.

"Whoa!"

However, the ball still went in!

Let’s play Wushuang from the beginning!

And just after Kobe Bryant hit the ball, all the Lakers players had already retreated to half court.

The Suns quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and they were all in defensive position.

From Kobe's offensive decisiveness to his positioning accuracy, the entire Lakers team sent a message: They are going to win tonight!

Lin Ying attacked in the low post, and when Allen took the back door, Kobe directly flanked Lin Ying from the back right side.

That angle just blocked Lin Ying's passing route.

The ball in Lin Ying's hand was almost broken!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and decisively threw the ball back to Nash on the outside. Otherwise, the ball would have been forced to stop if it had not been intercepted.

Pressure, the Lakers showed unprecedented pressure in the series!

The Suns want to start from the low post like they did before? No way!

Lin Ying couldn't beat this point, so Nash turned around and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. Stoudemire broke it and walked inside, and then Kobe Bryant's help came over again.

Stoudemire didn't have enough awareness to protect the ball, so he was cut off!

After Kobe steals the ball, he dribbles the ball directly into the fast break. He rushes to the frontcourt in a blink of an eye, dodges in the air and directly puts the basket up to score!

4 to 0!

The Lakers turned away and suppressed the Suns for the first time in the series!

Lin Ying adjusted his offensive strategy and started a pick-and-roll with Nash at the top of the arc.

And at the same time, Stoudemire was also ready for the pick-and-roll inside the free throw line.

This is an evolved version of the one-season knock-down tactic.

Because Lin Ying's attack range can extend to the three-point line, this horn will have a layered feel when played.

Once Lin Ying's pick-and-roll is not blocked, Stoudemire will immediately set up a second pick-and-roll.

Lin Ying blocked Fisher.

Nash quickly cut in, looking to play a second pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, but he passed the ball behind the back without looking at anyone and knocked the ball to Lin Ying!

Lin Ying received the ball and chose to ignore Fisher and shoot a three-pointer.

After the ball was released, the hearts of the audience were in suspense.

Although it's just the opening game, the Lakers are in unusually good shape tonight. If the Suns still can't score, they will probably be beaten throughout the game.

So this ball is very crucial!

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound, and Lin Ying made a crucial three-pointer!

The scene instantly burst into cheers from the fans.

On the sidelines, Brook held his chin in his hands, his eyes full of love.

In the stands, Yao Ming unconsciously clenched his fist.

He is not only watching tonight's game, but also the upcoming World Championships in Türkiye.

As he said at the beginning, winning the bronze in Beijing made him look forward to London, but there is also the World Championships in Türkiye between the two Olympic Games!

The U.S. team generally doesn't pay much attention to the World Championships. According to current news, James, Wade, and Howard will not go, and the main players will be Anthony and Durant.

In other words, the men's basketball team is very hopeful to go further in this world championship!

His injury will recover at the end of June. If Lin Ying is in good condition, he will have a chance to reach the top this time!

Although the World Championships is certainly not as valuable as the Olympic Games, don’t mistake the World Championships champion for the World Championship!

"Whoa!"

When Yao Ming was thinking about it, Kobe broke through and was flanked by a beautiful pass. Ariza caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

answerball!

And Kobe seems to have a strong desire to attack, but he plays very reasonably!

If the Suns want to win tonight, it will be difficult!

At halftime, the Lakers led the Suns by 15 points, 58-43!

The Suns were at a disadvantage in the first quarter, and without Butler on the bench, they still suffered.

By the second quarter's main stage, the Lakers were getting better and better, and the Suns were already showing signs of collapse.

If the time had not expired, it would not have been impossible for the score difference to be widened to 20 points.

And several details in the game are also speeding up this process.

Stoudemire's 2+1 dunk after a pick-and-roll was very beautiful, but the referee called an elbow support foul that could or could not be called.

Lin Ying made a beautiful steal almost at halftime, but the Lakers' foul whistle sounded one second too late, abruptly cutting off the fast break.

The Lakers are in great shape, and there is still a faint rhythm of 5 on 8. This game is completely a game of punishment!

Unless the strength is absolutely crushing, this kind of game will be cast directly.

The Suns, of course, didn't shoot.

But the atmosphere in the midfield locker room is very depressing!

Although no one said it out loud, many people's real thoughts were already thinking about how to play the tiebreaker.

In this situation, even if you try to make him some Barnes' chicken soup, it won't work.

This is not a matter of desire to compete, it is a matter of not knowing how to win!

In a sense, even if it's not 5 versus 8, it would be extremely difficult for the Lakers to win in this state.

"Let's bet on three-pointers!"

In the depressing atmosphere, Lin Ying stood up.

"What we are best at is three-pointers. As long as we can make consecutive shots, we still have a chance to turn the situation around."

And he speaks very quickly.

"I'm looking for Fisher's mismatch. I'll make it simple. I'll misplace the position. You guys are ready to shoot. When the ball is fast, you'll make a V-shape to look for three-point opportunities. 15 points is just five three-pointers!"

15 points and 5 3-pointers sounds like something only an amateur would say at first glance, but combined with the previous words, the rest of the Suns team actually thought there was nothing wrong with it!

"Lin is right, this is our only chance, but it also means that we don't have no chance."

Nash stood up at this time and echoed Lin Ying's words.

Everyone else stood up one after another and nodded in agreement.

No one thought about a Game 7 at Staples Center, and if there was still a chance, they would all want to finish the game in Phoenix.

Lin Ying stretched out his hand, and others put their hands on top of him one after another.

This time Lin Ying did not shout slogans, but spoke calmly:
Chapter completed!
