1234.Obvious strength gap

"Ding... Talent skill: Absolute talent trigger, from Lamar Odom."

"Ding... Features: Absolutely omnipotent trigger, from Lamar Odom."

"Ding... Lamar Odom enters a focused state."

As soon as he came on the court, Liu Mang heard Odom's reminder to play seriously.

Odom, who reached the finals for the first time, was very serious. Just like in the original time and space in the 2008 finals, Gasol was completely abused by Garnett and Kobe's shooting percentage in the series was only 40%.

At that time, the Lakers could survive until the sixth game because Odom was as excited as playing in the Finals for the first time.

However, Kobe's side was not prompted by the triggering of his talent skills, because in Kobe's peak period... his talent skills were transformed into continuous skills, and the entire season felt like he was going to eat his opponent alive.

Hard work will allow people to develop abilities beyond the shackles of their own talent. Kobe's performance this season is the pinnacle of his personal performance. From the perspective of personal performance, Liu Mang feels that there is nothing wrong with the ability evaluation of 100 given by the system.

However, no matter how hard you work, there is a limit. Kobe's limit is an ability evaluation of 100. After all, he is different from a core player like Duncan. Kobe's role is judged by the system as a "championship puzzle."

Although Jordan was also judged to be a "champion puzzle", that was Jordan...

At eight o'clock sharp, the game begins!

Kwame Brown's biggest effect against Yao Ming may be the jump ball. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball.

Kwame Brown knows that this is the easiest time for him to face an opponent like Yao Ming who restrains him. The painful time will come next, but he has to endure it!

Having been abused by O'Neal for six games, Kwame Brown's mental stress resistance has reached its peak. The worst thing is that he will be abused for a few more games and create some trouble for Yao Ming.

Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to McGrady, who was quickly invading from the right. McGrady received the ball and Kobe moved towards McGrady.

McGrady came to the right side of the free throw line, took the initiative to lean towards McGrady, and turned his back from the high post on the right!

After Liu Mang passed the ball, he quickly cut towards the basket. Odom was playing in the finals for the first time. He was very serious and focused, and actively moved towards Liu Mang.

But... seriousness is seriousness, and absolute talent is absolute talent. It is true that you can play five positions on the offensive end, but you have to guard against Liu Mang's lack of ball...

Liu Mang turned around and accelerated. Before Odom could even turn around, Liu Mang directly penetrated the three-point line from the middle!

McGrady had been paying attention to Liu Mang's movements. When Liu Mang cut in, McGrady quickly turned his back, stepped behind Kobe with his long right leg, and turned to break through!

It's hard for Kobe to guard Tracy McGrady!

McGrady rushed into the basket with the ball, attracting Yao Ming's attention, and threw the ball to the left. Liu Mang received the ball and rushed into the paint. When Yao Ming was physically strong, his defensive deterrence under the basket was really unparalleled. He turned around and stretched out his hand from the three-point line.

One step inside the right side of the second zone can interfere with the shot on the left side of the basket.

Liu Mang entered the basket and took off, turned 180 degrees, turned his back towards Yao Ming, separated the space, and threw the ball towards the basket with his back to the basket.

There was nothing he could do about the ball. Odom only caught up to the free throw line. Liu Mang's move could not cover Yao Ming's jump, and it was easy to foul. Tracy McGrady assisted, and Liu Mang turned around and threw the ball behind the basket to score two points.

It’s a similar play style to the one at the start of Game 6 against the Heat, except this time the tactical purpose is clearer, and the Lakers’ perimeter defense is not a little bit worse than the Heat’s. It’s not that the defensive elite is inferior. Kobe Bryant is better than the Heat’s perimeter defense.

The best defenders are much better, but the Lakers can only defend Kobe on the perimeter!

Compared with the regular season where the Lakers could compete with the Hawks, in the finals, everything has changed!

The main reason is that the Hawks have just experienced Pat Riley's iron-blooded defense. Maybe among the teams in this year's playoffs, only the Spurs have the defense of the Heat. The Hawks are slightly inferior, and the Lakers... are even better.

Much inferior!

The defense the Hawks faced during most of the regular season was mediocre, so when the Lakers played defensive battles, the Hawks were not so adaptable. However, the Hawks just played six bloody defensive battles with the Heat three days ago.

I am used to the strongest defense, but the Lakers' defense seems inadequate!

After the game started, the Eagles took the lead.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe failed to make a mid-range shot at the beginning.

When the Eagles attacked, McGrady continued to use his high back to break through the defense on one side. After Liu Mang attracted a double-team from Wang Zhizhi, McGrady turned around and broke through to distribute the ball to Rasheed Wallace and Rasheed Wallace.

He also scored three points!

The Eagles started with a 5-0 run!

The game had just started, and the commentator on the TV station started criticizing Zen Master's lineup arrangement.

Let Odom guard Liu Mang or Tracy McGrady...what are you thinking!

Maybe Zen Master had some unique ideas and sent out this lineup that had a short-lived performance against the Mavericks. Maybe he wanted to use Odom's comprehensiveness to deal with the Hawks' three powerful defensive players on the outside.

Indeed, when it was time for the Lakers to attack again, Odom scored two points on a breakthrough floater, and the Eagles were unable to defend it.

However, when the Hawks attacked next, Liu Mang encountered Kobe's defense, and after picking and rolling with Tracy McGrady, Odom switched to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang easily made a close-range throw and scored two points.

Zen Master's lineup arrangement has been criticized again.

The Zen master sat on the sidelines, feeling helpless.

The Zen Master's lineup is weird, not because his head is watted, but...it's obvious that they are no match for the Eagles!

With the current lineup, they are no match at all, and the forward defense has a huge problem!

This was probably the worst lineup the team had when they reached the finals under the leadership of Zen Master.

The main thing is forward defense. The Lakers are missing a player at the small forward position who can help Kobe defend another star of the Hawks.

Generally speaking, Odom is already a relatively good defensive player, but of course, he can't be guarded.

But if Luke Walton or Fisher are used to defend Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, the scene will be too scary to watch!

However, fans and the media have seen the Lakers' fierce defense against the Hawks in the regular season, and they really think that the Lakers' defense can defend the Hawks. However, they have not seen that even the Heat, whose defense is extremely strong, can't defend the Hawks.

There’s no way the trio of Eagles can stop the Eagles in their best form!
