If there is one possibility that the Mavericks will continue to use Danpier to start, it is that Johnson's mind is in trouble.

On the Lakers, O'Neal was in a suit and tie. When the moment he saw him dressing up, the fans on the scene knew that he would definitely not be able to play tonight.

The point that fans are concerned about is who the Lakers will use to play the starting center.

The final result came out: Sun Hao, Christy, Finley, Malone, and Divac.

Jackson finally suggested to Sun Hao, using Divac to play center!

The scene sent strong cheers to Divac.

The player Divac still has a lot of entanglement with the Lakers.

Many people may have forgotten that he was the first round pick selected by the Lakers and played for 7 years with the Lakers.

The Kings were able to play against the Lakers until the tiebreak in the years at their peak, and his confrontation with O'Neal made an indelible contribution.

Of course, the most well-known one is the deal that exchanged Kobe alone, which brought three consecutive championships to the Lakers.

And what's interesting now is that he returned to the Lakers and then became an opponent on the court with Kobe.

Sometimes you can even say that this may be a destiny.

Seeing the Lakers' starting arrangements, Johnson's mouth also had a smile.

Divac is about to retire, and Jackson is using him to play the starter in the playoffs, which seems to reassure him, his opponent.

However, he also knows how much impact O'Neal's injury will have on the Lakers, and there is no better candidate for the Lakers.

Then, let them win a goal at the Lakers' home court and tie the big score!

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

With the referee's whistle, Diop used his long arm to push the ball back to the Mavericks' half, and the away team got the chance to take the lead in attacking!

In fact, it can be seen from the jumping ball that Divac is really old. Not to mention bounce, his reaction speed is obviously not up to Diop.

The Lakers' inside protection will definitely become a big problem.

Kobe, like the last game, came up and asked for the ball from Fisher and then defeated Christie.

However, unlike the last game, he was more obsessed with jump shots, so he directly chose to break through to the basket.

The effect of a change in detail is completely different.

And you can say that Kobe's emotional intelligence is not high, but you can't say that his football quotient is not high.

Divac's current defensive ability in the interior is simply incomparable to O'Neal.

The result was that Kobe broke through Christie and rushed to the inside, and a beautiful glider trolley scored the ball.

This ball was so beautiful.

After scoring the goal, Kobe raised his hand and clenched his fists, pouted his lips and showed a fierce look.

He doesn't like to talk big, and it's his determination to say it before the game. He has no reason to lose the game in front of him!

“The Lakers will have a tough game tonight.”

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith expressed his feelings after watching the first round.

O'Neal was absent, and the Lakers' inside defense became too weak, which made it difficult for Kobe to be truly restricted.

You should know that in the last game, in addition to O'Neal's powerful offensive end, his role in defensive end cannot be ignored.

To score, Sun Hao and the others in the Lakers may be able to make up for it, but what should I do if the defense is done?

Barkley didn't say anything. In fact, he and Smith usually brag and bickered about the performance of the show.

But one thing is to say, the two of them really understand football as celebrities.

Barkley's reaction at this time shows that he, a "Lakeman fan", also knows that the Lakers' game is not easy to play tonight.

Sun Hao, after holding the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Divac at the free throw line.

After giving the ball out, Sun Hao began to run without the ball on the court.

At the same time, Finley was also crossing the position.

If old fans watch this scene, they will definitely find it very interesting, because it plays a bit like the Kings.

Kobe is struggling to pursue Sun Hao.

He bypassed Finley and Christie's pick-and-roll in succession.

His defensive ability, as analyzed a long time ago, is ranked first in history.

"Bang!"

But in the end, he was still blocked, and when Sun Hao reached the last step in the 8-shaped running position.

The person who blocked him was...Ma Long.

Malone's pick-and-roll quality is second, but no one in the league dares to say first.

Moreover, as Kobe's "former teammate", he is quite interesting to block Kobe, so he is terrifying to be of high quality.

Sun Hao took advantage of the cover to go out as an opportunity.

At this moment, the ball arrived.

The real people arrive, the ball arrives.

Divac became old, his reaction speed became slower, and his confrontation was not as good as his peak, so he was eliminated by the Kings.

But there is one thing that will not change, that is his "handsmanship".

Even this technology will not only not weaken as it ages, but will become stronger and stronger.

The saying "The point guard is getting more and more demonic" is the best interpretation of this technology.

Because what it requires more is experience, and that thing requires time to accumulate.

Sun Hao took the ball and took action. This off-ball tactic was also very beautiful.

"Swish!"

Of course, after Sun Hao finished hitting this three-pointer, he put a perfect end to this beautiful offensive round.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

The fans were cheering a little involuntarily.

It has to be said that it deserved to be popular in the league at the time. Divac's ability to support the ball is really too ornamental.

Of course, his current defense is really not good.

Kobe seized the opportunity to break through to the inside and scored the ball again against Divac's defense!

He scored 4 points in a row at the beginning!

This state is completely different from the previous game.

O'Neal was also worried when watching it on the sidelines. He really wanted to take off his suit and go directly to the court.

Sun Hao, the Mavericks will come out and grab three players in advance and will not give them a chance to catch the ball.

Divac split the ball to Christie in the open.

Christie's three-point shot missed and the rebound was taken off by Diop.

The scene was restless.

The impact of O'Neal's absence on the team is very intuitive. The Lakers are going to be targeted by Johnson until they die!

Kobe continued to attack with the ball in the frontcourt.

Christie struggled to defend at this time, and it was not as easy as Kobe's sudden success as the previous two rounds.

But Kobe still suddenly passed by.

Christie is no longer Christie who has been playing for four years, and Kobe is no longer Kobe who has been playing for four years.

It's hard for Christie to defend Kobe.

Moreover, Kobe was determined to break in tonight. He was fast, and it would be too late for the Lakers double-teaming to slow down a little.

Kobe broke into the inside and made another quick shot.

"Bang!"

But no one expected that his ball... was blocked!

The one who covered him was Ma Long!

Malone is in a row with Kobe tonight!

Moreover, after receiving the defensive rebound, Ma Long turned around and handed it to Sun Hao.

And while giving the ball, he turned his head and looked at Christie, then looked back at Sun Hao and said:
Chapter completed!
