"The game has just begun, and the Lakers will start fighting back soon!"

"I really think the Lakers can't beat it, but they're still testing the game!"

"The Lakers have peaks O'Neal and Kobe, and it's impossible to lose to the Mavericks. Last year is the best proof!"

...

Although the start was unfavorable, many loyal Lakers fans are still full of confidence in the team.

But in the end of the game, the score on the field was.

The Lakers ended in a crushing defeat in the first game of the series.

If the Timberwolves in the first round were still not in the form of the playoffs because they had just entered the playoffs, then this highly-watched game has exposed all the problems of the Lakers to the spotlight.

Kobe and O'Neal both scored 27 points in the end.

However, the number of shots of the two was completely different. O'Neal made 10 goals in 14 shots, and Kobe made 9 of 24 shots.

Many people may wonder why the Lakers have already attacked O'Neal, and Kobe has made so many shots.

But after watching the game, you will know that Danpier's presence and the Mavericks' joint defense strategy have given O'Neal a comfortable offensive opportunity.

It becomes natural for Kobe to take more shots.

But to the end, as the outside world said, his efficiency was still much lower than O'Neal.

Moreover, a detail of the game also exposed the problems between the two. Apart from the opening stage, Kobe almost did not pass the ball to O'Neal in the subsequent game.

This is part of the Lakers' problem, and the other part can be traced from statistics.

Excluding the data of Janero Pago and Karim Rush in garbage time, the Lakers' shooting percentage outside the three-point line was 3 of 20 shots, while the team's assists were 5 times.

These two data can intuitively reflect the state of other Lakers players and their sluggishness.

Kobe and O'Neal had only one assist in this game. Kobe played more in a single game, but O'Neal had a lot of passes in double teams.

Unfortunately, almost no one can grasp the Lakers' outside line!

Look at their performance outside the three-point line, Brian Shaw made 0 of 4 shots, Horry made 0 of 3 shots, and Devin George made 1 of 4 shots.

Kobe is the one who made the most, with 2 of 6 shots!

It would be strange if the Lakers like this win!

There is no harm without comparison, let’s look at the Mavericks.

Sun Hao scored 27 points and 7 assists, Nowitzki scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Bodyloga scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Van Exel scored 15 points and 3 assists, and Bale scored 12 points...

In terms of personal data, the team scored in double digits, and in terms of technical statistics, three-pointers made! 27 assists!

Compare and see it at a glance!

After the game, James went down to the court to congratulate Sun Hao.

He held Tao in his hand and his face was full of smiles.

After some people become rich, many habits and preferences will change, and there are countless examples of this.

But some people remain unchanged in their original intentions, and only a very small number of such people are.

James is one of the very few. He met his wife Savanna Blinson at the age of 16, and he was successful and never replaced.

Also, he likes to eat tao very early, he still likes it now, and will still like it in the future.

Of course, in addition to eating his favorite food, Sun Hao's winning naturally made him happy.

Sun Hao looked at James, but he thought about the draft that would come later, James of the Nuggets or James of the Pistons. No matter which one it was, it would make him feel very different.

After all, in the history he knew, that Knight Zhan was really unforgettable.

However, James was in front of him, and Sun Hao chatted with him with curiosity.

"Which team do you prefer to go to? Draft."

"Denver, they have the No. 1 pick, they will pick me."

Sun Hao asked directly, and James' answer was also very direct.

And that kind of self-confidence is not pretended.

Sun Hao nodded.

This answer is very consistent with James' personality.

If you want to do it, do the best. As for your hometown, it is not that important in comparison.

"And I'm in the same partition with you, I can beat you faster and get my nickname back."

James added with a smile.

Sun Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

James has always remembered this.

But what is right is that if you are in the West, James will have more chances to beat him.

After all, in the East, just like Jordan, if you want to meet him, you must at least be the Eastern Conference champion, and the difficulty coefficient is different.

In this way, he is very expecting from the Nuggets and James.

After all, the hypothetical meme of Peak Zhan not daring to go to the West can have a very realistic answer.

"Good luck."

Sun Hao smiled and reached out to touch James' head.

In addition to expectations, what he could think of is that if James was in the West, it would mean that he would likely continue to encounter him in the playoffs.

How many finals can he reach or can he reach the finals?

Well, this is a question that only time will give an answer.

James felt very motivated when he was touched by Sun Hao (and touch your head badge continues to work).

Maybe only if you really have expectations for him will you continue to encourage him!

Power from the seniors!

After the game, both teams held press conferences one after another.

The Mavericks are having a good time.

However, this time Nowitzki did not give himself any more poisonous milk or flags.

After experiencing this thing for a long time, you will understand it slowly.

After that, the atmosphere at the Lakers' press conference became a bit dull.

However, Phil Jackson brought Fisher with him in addition to Kobe and O'Neal.

That proved to be a very witty decision afterwards.

"Each of us plays like shit, we have to hit those damn shots to win the game."

O'Neal rarely speaks like this in public.

But it was obvious that he was very upset by the crushing defeat tonight.

This performance was worse than when he was in the Magic, not to mention that they had just completed the dynasty in the past three years.

He had to say something harsh to boost morale.

However, when the reporter asked Kobe, Kobe's answer was completely different from O'Neal.

"I should shoot more, shoot more, and score more points."

This answer is very Kobe.

This is also a true portrayal of Kobe's current season. He has treated himself as the boss of the Lakers.

The team's loss means that he didn't play well enough and failed to get more points.

And to explain that he was right, he added another sentence after he finished speaking.

"In the past games, we won the game where I scored more points."

This sentence is right, but it is like adding fuel to the fire. Even if O'Neal has a good temper, he feels about to explode.

You made more than 30 attempts in one game, and whether it is accurate or not is certainly a completely different ending for the team.

If you give him the number of shots, he can beat the Mavericks' inside line!

The atmosphere at the press conference was a little tense at one time.

Fortunately, Fisher took the microphone at this moment and said something to ease the atmosphere.

"Bryant meant that Shaq was focused on defense by the Mavericks and restrained the defense. He should make more shots from the outside and get more points."

The same goes for the same reason, after being explained by Fisher, the meaning is completely different.

The Mavericks defend the joint defense, and O'Neal will be double-teamed when receiving the ball. In this case, Kobe has no problem shooting more from the outside and shooting more.

After he said that, Kobe nodded, and O'Neal's anger also subsided.
